Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 414 Taking advantage of the fire to rob!

"Your talent is very impressive. I wouldn’t want to see a genius like you wasting away in some corner. Since you possess such formidable talent, it should be put to good use, don’t you think?" Lei Yujing smiled as she responded to Long Chen.

Before she learned that Long Chen had opened the Thunderbolt Cave Heaven, she naturally wouldn’t have been so eager for him to pass the Sect’s assessment and participate in the Domain Alliance competition. But now that she knew, how could she possibly let this opportunity slip by?

This Domain Alliance competition was extremely important for the Sect’s future development. She needed someone with Long Chen’s tremendous talent to go and give it a shot. Anyone capable of establishing a Thunderbolt Cave Heaven proved that their comprehension, talent, and strength were not to be underestimated. Given time, when he truly matured, he was destined to accomplish great things.

After hearing Lei Yujing’s response, Long Chen nodded and said nonchalantly, "I didn’t expect the Third Elder to think so highly of me. It’s my honor."

Having said that, his tone changed. "But, Third Elder, those participating in the Domain Alliance competition will be mighty Heaven’s Chosen from all walks of life. If I want to stand out among them, I’ll need to substantially increase my strength in these three months. Only then will I have enough power to fulfill your request. So, during this time, I..."

Upon hearing Long Chen’s words, Lei Yujing couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile.

This guy is clearly taking advantage of the situation!

However, she had no reason to refuse. Just as Long Chen had said, the Domain Alliance competition would be attended by powerful experts from all over. To emerge victorious, one naturally needed a certain level of strength. And to enhance one’s strength within three months, a large amount of Cultivation Resources would be required. She was well aware of this.

She opened her palm, revealing the Mysterious Heart Thunder as well as many rare medicinal herbs and Elixir Pills, all of which were greatly beneficial for cultivation.

Seeing the rare medicinal herbs and Elixir Pills, Long Chen smiled faintly and then stored them all in his Storage Ring.

He cupped his hands in a salute to Lei Yujing. "I’ll accept these for now. However, I must trouble the Third Elder to prepare some more. In case I use them all up, I can continue coming back to you for more."

"..."

After hearing Long Chen’s words, Lei Yujing was left speechless. She suddenly realized that while she had intended to bait Long Chen, she had been played by him instead.

Come back for more after using them up? That’s a bottomless pit! Absolutely not!

"Third Elder, it’s a deal then," Long Chen said. "Once I’ve used them up, I’ll come back for more!"

Just as Lei Yujing was about to refuse his request for a continuous supply, Long Chen dropped those words and quickly departed. He didn’t give her any chance to refuse at all.

As she watched Long Chen’s back disappear, Lei Yujing couldn’t help but smile wryly. This kid is a real sly fox.

Not long after Long Chen had left, a graceful figure appeared beside Lei Yujing.

"young master."

Lei Yujing turned her head to look at Lei Shishi.

"Third Elder, not bad," Lei Shishi said with a smile. "You convinced him to participate so quickly."

Lei Yujing sighed softly.

"He agreed to participate, but now I’m the one who’s going to suffer. Where am I supposed to get so many Cultivation Resources for him?"

Lei Shishi covered her mouth to hide a smile.

Lei Yujing looked at Lei Shishi. "young master, can the Sect provide these Cultivation Resources for free?"

Lei Shishi’s eyes darted around. "Third Elder, the Sect’s resources are also very limited during this critical time. I need to go focus on my own cultivation. I’ll leave the remaining matters for you to follow up on. As for the Cultivation Resources, just take your time finding them. I’m sure it won’t be too difficult for you."

With that, Lei Shishi’s figure flashed and she vanished, leaving a dumbfounded Lei Yujing behind.

Lei Yujing was at her wit’s end. She had really shot herself in the foot this time. Looks like I’ll have to chew on this tough bone myself.

「Dragon Gate.」

Just as Qi Yuanchen was about to push open the door to enter his room, Zhang Cangsong suddenly appeared in front of him. When Qi Yuanchen saw it was Zhang Cangsong, his brow furrowed and an expression of disgust crossed his face.

"What are you doing here? I don’t have time for you!"

Qi Yuanchen looked extremely disdainful. Since yesterday, Zhang Cangsong had been persistently seeking him out, trying to strike up conversations on various topics. Not only that, but Zhang Cangsong had also been going out of his way to get on good terms with the others, seemingly determined to completely integrate himself into the group.

However, the impression Zhang Cangsong had left from his past actions was simply too poor. Even though he actively tried to build relationships, he received no positive response. The members of Dragon Gate wanted nothing to do with him. Despite this, Zhang Cangsong showed no signs of giving up and kept trying to cozy up to everyone. And now, he had set his sights on Qi Yuanchen.

"Brother Qi, we’re disciples who entered the Sect together. We see each other all the time, so there’s no need for our relationship to be so tense, is there?" Zhang Cangsong said with a broad smile. "Besides, I’ve never done anything egregious to you. There’s no need for you to give me that look. I know my past behavior was repulsive, but I’ve realized my mistakes and I’m trying to correct them. Seeing how actively I’m trying to change for the better, can’t you all just accept me?" Zhang Cangsong poured his heart out to Qi Yuanchen, a look of profound grievance on his face.

Seeing Zhang Cangsong like this, Qi Yuanchen was dumbstruck.

What is this guy up to?

Just as Qi Yuanchen’s guard began to relax, Zhang Cangsong took advantage of his inattention and suddenly pulled out a talisman, slapping it fiercely against Qi Yuanchen’s forehead. Immediately after, Zhang Cangsong quickly murmured a few incantations.

Qi Yuanchen’s body trembled, and his eyes instantly glazed over. He looked as if he had lost his mind.

"Into the room," Zhang Cangsong ordered.

As if he had received a command, Qi Yuanchen turned and walked straight into the room. Witnessing this, Zhang Cangsong broke into a smug grin.

After Qi Yuanchen entered the room, Zhang Cangsong followed him in. He glanced left and right as he closed the door, only shutting it firmly after confirming that no one was around.

Zhang Cangsong walked up to Qi Yuanchen. Seeing his soulless, dazed expression, he felt a surge of glee.

I can’t believe the talisman Liang Tianhao gave me actually worked!
