In the inner courtyard of the palace, in the study of the fourth prince, the fourth prince was seen leaning on a chair with his eyes half closed, quietly listening to the report of the Marquis of Manhuang.

  "Master, there is still no movement from the Marquis of Zhenyuan. The army has always been stationed in the same place. As for the master's letter, there is no response either," the Marquis of Manhuang said respectfully.

  After a while, the fourth prince slowly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of coldness in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "He is simply an old stubborn man who doesn't know how to live or die. I gave him so much time, but he actually treated me as a soft persimmon."

  "This Long Tianxiao is really ungrateful. After so many years, he still refuses to submit to the prince. It's really hateful and deserves death," the Marquis of Manhuang said bitterly.

  The fourth prince glanced at the Wilderness Marquis and said, "I know the feud between you and Long Tianxiao. If it weren't for his punch, you would have had a great chance to advance to the Yijin Realm.

  But Long Tianxiao's strength is not only in his martial arts, otherwise I wouldn't value him so much.

  It's a pity that he is too stubborn and refuses to be used by me. Since he can't be my man, let him be dead."

  Hearing what the fourth prince said, the Wilderness Marquis was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Master, do you have any good ideas?"

  "Now is not the time to deal with him, but he has failed me for so many years of hard work. Let's kill his only son first, just as a repayment of some interest," the fourth prince said lightly.

  "Long Chen? How to kill him?" The Wilderness Marquis was a little confused.

  Now Long Chen is a member of the Alchemist Guild. It is rumored that he has a very special relationship with Master Yunqi. Even the royal family dare not offend the Alchemist Guild.

  "I have arranged this matter, you don't have to worry about it. Now you slowly start to concentrate all your strength. We are going to start a big move. Remember not to cause any unusual movements," the fourth prince said coldly.

  "Yes, master, rest assured, I will do it perfectly," said the Marquis of the Wilderness.

  Now his strength is only a blood coagulation realm, and his martial arts are not outstanding. The reason why the fourth prince uses him so much.

  On the one hand, it is because he is loyal, and on the other hand, he is very cautious in doing things. Over the years, he has never made any mistakes.

  After the Marquis of the Wilderness left, the fourth prince stared at the books on the table in a daze, and sighed for a long time.

  "Long Tianxiao, Long Tianxiao, why are you doing this? My sincerity over the years has not moved you, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

  ...

  "Boom"

  Another explosion sounded inside his body, and Long Chen's eyes slowly opened. The sharpness hidden in his star-like eyes was like a sharp blade, making people dare not look at him.

  Looking at the seven cyclones slowly moving in his dantian, a satisfied smile appeared on Long Chen's face.

  He raised four realms in seven days. This speed would definitely scare a lot of people to death, but Long Chen was still a little dissatisfied.

  He originally thought that with the increase of cyclones, the cultivation would become faster and faster, but he soon found that this idea was wrong.

  The more cyclones condense, the more difficult it is, and the more spiritual energy is needed. He only took three hours for the fourth cyclone, but the seventh cyclone took three full days.

  It was equivalent to the sum of the consumption of the first three cyclones, but what made Long Chen happy was that after reaching the seventh level of Qi Condensation, he found that his meridians were more condensed.

  However, he still couldn't perform the Kaitian combat skill, which made Long Chen not depressed, but more excited. This showed that Kaitian was an extremely powerful combat skill. A garbage pill was exchanged for a high-level combat skill, which was a good deal.

  Originally, Long Chen wanted to continue to use pills to exchange for some high-level combat skills through the blood coagulation realm expert who guarded the combat skill pavilion.

  But now that Chu Yao taught him the Broken Wind Fist and Fire Cloud Palm, it was enough. Both were human-level high-level combat skills. I'm afraid that only the third level of the combat skill pavilion can be found. It is estimated that even the person guarding the combat skill pavilion is not qualified to learn them.

  Combat skills are not the more the better. Usually, warriors will not use combat skills unless they have no choice.

  Because combat skills consume a lot of spiritual energy, ordinary Qi Condensation realm warriors can only trigger human-level lower-level combat skills once.

  After one activation, the remaining spiritual energy is not enough to activate the second time, so if you can't defeat the enemy with one move, you basically won't waste precious spiritual energy.

  The higher the level of combat skills, the more spiritual energy is consumed. Generally speaking, high-level human-level combat skills are used by strong people in the blood coagulation realm.

  Only they have powerful spiritual energy to support such terrible consumption, but Long Chen is different.

  His spiritual energy is stored in Fengfu Star. Long Chen has tested that with his current spiritual energy, he can activate seven high-level human-level combat skills.

  However, if he uses super combat skills, that is, activates the spiritual energy of Fengfu Star, enters the cyclone and then performs it, his spiritual energy is only enough to activate once.

  The second time, he can't activate it even if he is exhausted to death, but now Long Chen can't condense the second star, because it is recorded in the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art that only when the first star becomes a real star can the second star be condensed.

  But now Long Chen didn't know what a real star was, nor did he know what the nine changes of the star in his memory meant. He was getting more and more confused, so he could only continue to condense the cyclone helplessly.

  "Master, can I come in?" Bao'er's crisp voice came from outside the door.

  "Come in"

  When Bao'er came in, she held a few clothes in her hands and said with a smile: "Master, today is the Fengming Lantern Festival. Madam ordered me to dress you up."

  She asked Long Chen to sit down, clean his face and comb his hair. Long Chen smiled and said: "Why is it so grand?"

  "Hehe, Madam said that Master is almost sixteen years old, and it's time to get married. She asked me to dress you up well, just in case some lady takes a fancy to you, hehe... you know," Bao'er said with a smile.

  "No way, why am I so anxious?" Long Chen couldn't help but speechless. Fatty Yu and others were already seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were not married yet.

  "Of course I'm anxious. I'm anxious to have a grandson."

  After she finished speaking, Madam Long came in and looked at Long Chen and said, "We can take our time with Meng Qi and make it a long-term goal.

  But we also need short-term goals. This is called doing both things well. For safety, I suggest you find a suitable girl first and give birth to the child. This will not delay you from pursuing Meng Qi. This is called double insurance."

  "Mom, is this okay?" Long Chen looked at his mother in disbelief.

  "Why not? It's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Can't you just leave your main wife to Meng Qi?" Madam Long said as a matter of course.

  "No way, are you sure?" Long Chen obviously didn't believe it.

  "Of course, but you can't tell Meng Qi in advance. After you do that, she will agree," Madam Long reminded.

  Long Chen opened his eyes wide. Is this okay? : "Mother, you said that father has ignored us for so many years. Does he have three wives and four concubines outside?"

  "Don't talk nonsense. It would be great if your father had three wives and four concubines." Mrs. Long scolded, but there was a trace of guilt in her eyes.

  "Haha, I'm kidding, mother, don't worry. If there are suitable ones at this lantern festival, I will get two for you first." Long Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw that his mother was not very happy.

  "Bah, who do you think you are? You even got two back. I tell you, don't be so frivolous with me. You have to keep this in mind. Do you understand?" Mrs. Long reminded solemnly.

  "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Long Chen agreed, but he didn't agree in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

  After washing, Long Chen changed into a blue robe, which was just the right size. After putting on the clothes, Long Chen became a brand new person.

  His sword-like eyebrows were bright, his spirits were high, and he was so handsome that Baoer's eyes lit up and he kept praising him.

  "Hehe, don't worry, Madam. With our young master's conditions, how many women can resist him?"

  "You, don't praise him too much," Madam Long said, but her eyes were full of satisfied smiles. Seeing her son's good looks, she was full of pride.

  "Okay, it's getting late, let's go out quickly," Madam Long pushed Long Chen out of the door.

  "Mom, the sun is still so high, it's still early before dark," Long Chen pointed to the slightly westward sun and said helplessly.

  "Smelly boy, don't you know how to prepare for a rainy day? Go and occupy a good position first, so that you can improve efficiency. Go quickly," Madam Long said, and slammed the door shut.

  Long Chen rolled his eyes. This wasn't a street stall, so why did he need to take up a seat? However, he had been kicked out of the house, so he had to go anyway.

  Along the way, Long Chen saw countless people busy hanging lanterns in front of their houses. Seeing Long Chen appear, a young man smiled and said, "Brother, you're early enough."

  "What do you know? The early bird catches the worm," Long Chen said unhappily.

  "Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for reminding me, big brother. I'll go change my clothes now," and the man ran back to the yard.

  "Little brat, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and you're thinking about picking up girls."

  Long Chen curled his lips. Children nowadays are too precocious. He came out too early. If he went at this time, he would only be laughed at.

  But the time is too awkward now. If he finds a place to practice, the time is too short, and if he just waits, the time is too long.

  When Long Chen was hesitating about what to do, he suddenly felt a killing intent that was as real as a gust of wind, and rushed to Long Chen's back.

  He turned around and swung his palm, and Long Chen's palm hit the sneak attack.

  "Bang"

  The Qi made a loud noise, and Long Chen was shocked back a few steps. He looked up and saw a masked man slapping Long Chen with another palm, with great power and whistling wind.

  Long Chen snorted coldly, ignoring the man's palm, and kicked out, heading straight for the man's crotch.

  "Bang"

  The man had rich combat experience, and he directly retracted his palm, changed from attack to defense, and blocked Long Chen's kick with one leg.

  "Go to hell"

  After blocking Long Chen's kick, the man suddenly burst out with Qi and blood, and a fierce force rose up. He punched through the space and blocked all of Long Chen's retreat.

  A fierce look appeared in Long Chen's eyes. He was about to burst out with all his strength, but suddenly he remembered something.

  "Bull strength"

  Long Chen shouted loudly and punched the man's fist. The whole person was knocked away more than ten steps away, and the blood in his chest surged.

  The man knocked Long Chen away with a punch. Just as he was about to continue to pursue the victory, the figures around him suddenly shook, obviously alarming the people around him.

  "Hmph, kid, I'll take your life next time." The man glanced at Long Chen, whose face was a little pale, snorted coldly and left. He disappeared in front of Long Chen's eyes after a few rises and falls, and his speed was amazing.

  After the man disappeared, the paleness on Long Chen's face immediately disappeared, and a hint of sarcasm appeared instead.

  "Idiot, want to test my background?"

  Long Chen patted the dust on his body, looked at the direction where the man left, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

  It seems that today will be an unusual night!
