Chapter 356 - Heavenly Sacred Rain
Chapter 356 - Heavenly Sacred Rain
Wang Xing was unlikely to be bullied after he had arrived at the Treasure Pavilion. After they agreed on their gathering point, Long Chen let him shop on his own while he went towards the spiritual herb area.
“Brother Chen, what are you doing here?” Ling Xi asked expectantly.
“I don’t think I’ve bought you any more soul-nourishing herbs since I bought you the Sky Soul Fruit, right? How are you doing now?” Long Chen asked caringly.
“My soul has received sufficient nourishment during my stay in the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus and has recovered greatly. However, it has not reached satiation yet. Higher-level Earth-tier spiritual medicine should help. At least I will be able to assist you if you encounter a sticky situation,” Ling Xi said in a serious tone.
“What sort of sticky situations are you talking about?” Long Chen asked.
“At a minimum, I can hold off a Ninth River Stage cultivator for you and still preserve a third of my current soul power afterwards.” Ling Xi grew excited, knowing that she could help Long Chen again.
“That’s great! But remember this. Do not act rashly without my instruction,” Long Chen warned. He would never let Ling Xi use her abilities unless it was the last resort and his life was in danger. This was because Ling Xi would easily lose sight of her limits in order to save him, just like what happened at the Star Devil Prison. Thankfully, they had a perfect ending, or she and Long Chen would have forever disappeared from this world.
“Mhm!” Ling Xi stared at him timidly with widened eyes, then she nodded.
Soon, she could smell the fragrance and remarked in surprise, “There are many soul-nourishing herbs here! There are six in total, but there’s something odd!”
“What’s odd?” Long Chen asked hurriedly.
“Soul Nourishing Seeds are advanced Earth-tier spiritual medicine, but they’re selling them as initial Earth-tier herbs. One Soul Nourishing Seed is only going for twenty Heavenly River Pills,” she said, puzzled.
“Let’s go check it out,” he said.
Ling Xi led Long Chen through the crowd. After making a few turns, they arrived in a secluded section of the Treasure Pavilion. Many of the shops in the Treasure Pavilion were owned by Heavenly Demon Palace disciples, so the owner of the shop in front of him was a thin man of about thirty years old. He was currently reading a book intently.
When he sensed that someone was in front of him, he looked up at Long Chen weakly and said, “What do you want?”
Long Chen looked around, and his gaze fell on a small basket. There were indeed six thumb-sized black seeds inside that radiated a powerful but subtle energy. If one was not sensitive enough, it would have been difficult to identify them.
“I’ve never seen these black beans before. What are they?” Long Chen asked casually. They were priced at twenty Heavenly River Pills, but if he rushed to buy them, the owner could sense that they were special and raise the price.
“This is called an Energy Fruit. After eating one, you’ll be filled with energy and you’ll be able to cultivate for ten days and ten nights in a row. It’s an initial Earth-tier spiritual medicine! What do you think? Would you like to buy one?” the shop owner explained passionately, seeing as Long Chen had shown interest in an item he had been struggling to sell.
“It’s that special?” Long Chen gave him an impressed look, though he quickly frowned. “I want to buy them all, but they’re a little expensive.”
“All of them?” Everything totaled to a hundred and twenty Heavenly River Pills. Seeing as Long Chen was genuinely interested, the shop owner said hurriedly, “If that’s the case, they’re yours for a hundred Heavenly River Pills. What do you think?”
“Alright.” Long Chen looked as if he was unwilling to part with a hundred Heavenly River Pills. After the purchase, he put the six Soul Nourishing Seeds in his Universe Pouch and left.
“Finally tricked an idiot to sell those stupid things off. The heavens never disappoint a person who works hard ...” The thin man smirked creepily. He did not know that he was the actual idiot. The Soul Nourishing Seeds were actually advanced Earth-tier spiritual medicine that boosted one’s comprehension abilities and also nourished the soul. It was normally impossible to purchase one for less than twenty Heavenly River Pills.
Ling Xi could not stop grinning in the Ling Xi Sword.
“Brother Chen, you’re so mean!” Ling Xi said, a little bit disgusted.
“Mean? If I was mean, I would have eaten you up when you were sleeping. Sigh. Every time I think about how the Profound Heavenly Jade Lotus was wasted just like that, my heart aches,” Long Chen said with a grin.
“Nonsense. I’m not talking to you anymore.” Ling Xi blushed when she recalled previous times.
Then he heard a commotion outside.
Xiaolang is outside. He should be fine, right? I’d better get over there quickly. With that thought, Long Chen quickly rushed out.
***
Moments after Long Chen entered the Treasure Pavilion.
Xiaolang had picked a cool, shady spot next to the wall of the mountain. He lay on the ground and closed his eyes to rest. Behind him was a fake cliff that could be easily climbed.
Soon after, a group of noisy teenagers passed by. One of them spotted Xiaolang and cried, “Everyone, look! Isn’t that demonic wolf the one that follows Long Chen around?”
“Long Chen?” One of the teenagers had a fair face with clear skin. His eyes were filled with arrogance and rudeness that only the young possessed. When someone mentioned Xiaolang, he turned quickly and asked, “This Long Chen you speak of, is he the one who defeated my elder brother at the Martial Library? Is he the one who said he’s going to fight my brother?”
“Yes, Young Master Bing. This is the demonic beast who follows Long Chen around. It’s a Category Five Earth-tier wolf, and a strong one too. It even bullied us once before. It was terrible! If we hadn’t fled in time, we would have been killed by it already!” one of the other teenagers explained indignantly. If Long Chen were here, he would have recognized them as the teenagers who had bullied Wang Xing.
Young Master Bing was Yang Jun’s younger brother, Yang Bing.
“How ridiculous! It’s fine if he’s arrogant, at least he has the talent to be arrogant. But if this animal is also arrogant, then that’s crossing the line. Do they think they own the place?” Chen Bing said darkly.
“Yeah! Young Master Bing, not only is Long Chen arrogant enough to declare that he will master Traceless Demon Shadow in twenty days, even this animal is arrogant! How dare a demonic beast act like this in human territory? Young Master Bing, you can easily kill it with your Sixth River Stage strength!”
After being provoked by this declaration, Chen Bing nodded and said, “If I can’t teach this animal a lesson, I will not be able to face my brothers.”
He eyed the sleeping Xiaolang for a while, then he spotted the small cliff behind Xiaolang and had an idea. He laughed and said, “My brothers. Since this demon wolf dared to humiliate you all, then I shall humiliate it too! Just watch me!”
Yang Bing stepped away from the group and walked up to the cliff as the others watched expectantly. He then climbed up the cliff like an orangutan and was soon standing at the top. He looked down and saw Xiaolang directly below.
“What is Young Master Bing doing?” Everyone looked at each other, puzzled but excited.
When they saw that he had started to undo his pants string, they finally understood and tried their best to suppress their laughter, because they knew what he was going to do next. Xiaolang had picked a pretty secluded area, so not many people passed by.
“Young Master is going to use his fatal strike technique, Heavenly Sacred Rain! Hehe ...”
“That animal is lucky enough to enjoy the Heavenly Sacred Rain, haha ...”
“Lucky? Why don’t you take its place?”
“No way! My weak body could not withstand Young Master Bing’s Heavenly Sacred Rain!”
By this point, Yang Bing had completely undone his pants string. He grinned smugly at everyone, then dug out his little guy.
“Yang Bing’s little brother is large, as expected! I’m jealous!”
“Of course, or would he dare show it to us? I heard Yang Master Bing is already very experienced in bed, unlike us. We haven’t even touched a woman’s hand!”
“Don’t you guys know? Young Master Bing has agreed to sneak us down Demon Emperor Mountain tomorrow to have some fun! He says that the women he recommends will all be super hot!”
“Really?” They were all extremely excited.
They all watched in anticipation as Yang Bing took out his little guy and aimed it at Xiaolang. He then smirked and mouthed the words, “Fatal strike, Heavenly Sacred Rain!”
Liquid trickled down.
The group of teenagers watched intently and burst into laughter.
The cloudy flow of water was about to touch Xiaolang, who was speechless at their behavior. He had long noticed the group of brats, but was just too lazy to care. He had not expected the one guy to cross the line. Angered, Xiaolang looked up, and the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire shot from his mouth. The flames immediately wrapped around Yang Bing’s “sacred rain.”
Then the trickle of urine started to freeze into hard, black ice. In the blink of an eye, the ice grew from Xiaolang upwards to Yang Bing’s crotch, reaching his little guy. Everything was turned into black ice.
Xiaolang looked up and privately sighed in relief because the black ice was less than half a meter away from the top of his head. If he had reacted slightly slower, it would have reached him.
Xiaolang shook his head in exasperation, then he left with a bored shake of his tail.
Everyone stared in shock.
Half a breath’s time passed. Blood rushed into Yang Bing’s swollen face, and he let out a scream that shook the earth. All the black ice turned to dust. His crotch had become completely flat. Nothing was there.
Everyone guessed that he would never be able to unleash the Heavenly Sacred Rain again.
