256: Chapter 255 Lingnan Has a Divine Dragon [First Update] 256: Chapter 255 Lingnan Has a Divine Dragon [First Update] “Miss Su, do you need anything else?”

Li Chen casually responded without turning his head.

“Immortal Master Li, I apologize for any offense caused just now.

I hope you can forgive me!”

Although Su Ya’s words were apologetic, her brows were filled with a flirtatious spring charm.

Li Chen waved his hand dismissively and said lightly, “No worries, I never take offense with the likes of ants!”

Hearing Li Chen call herself an ant, Su Ya not only wasn’t annoyed but felt somewhat thrilled instead.

She has a slight masochistic tendency; the nicer you are to her, the less she regards you.

But if you ignore her, she will actively seek your attention.

In plain terms, it’s simply being cheap.

With eyes full of allure, Su Ya asked eagerly, “Immortal Master Li, do you have time tonight?

I would like to host a dinner as an apology!”

“No time, maybe some other time!”

After dropping this cold response, Li Chen no longer paid attention to Su Ya and strode away.

Zhang Tianrui hurried after him like a little follower.

The club fell silent, a group of professors, experts, and corporate heirs all stood gaping at each other in silence.

At that moment, they were all in a surreal state, unable to believe their eyes.

However, Yao Wei, who was clutching his arms and groaning in pain, reminded them that everything that had occurred was indeed stark reality.

…

After leaving the club, Li Chen took Zhang Tianrui directly to the Cloud Mist Mountain Villa.

“What dense Spiritual Power!”

As soon as they entered Cloud Mist Mountain, Zhang Tianrui exclaimed in amazement.

Li Chen smiled faintly, nonchalantly saying, “It’s just a minor Spirit Gathering Array.

No need to make a fuss about it!”

The more casually Li Chen spoke, the more Zhang Tianrui felt he was an unattainable figure, beyond his reach.

No wonder Zhang Tianrui was so astonished.

Earth is currently in the End of Dharma Age for cultivation.

Ancient arrays from the bygone eras have long been lost, much less such a large-scale array covering an entire mountain like Li Chen’s.

In major sects like the Medical Saint Sect and the Heavenly Master Sect, although they do have large arrays, those are left by the ancestors.

No one in the sect now can set up an array of the same scale.

They can only patch up the old ones to barely keep them running.

After all, the knowledge of arrays is profoundly arcane and mystical.

When perfected, it can manipulate the natural forces and possess the unpredictable power of ghosts and gods.

For example, Zhuge Kongming from the Three Kingdoms period simply used a pile of rocks to set up an Eight Diagrams Array, which held back a hundred thousand elite troops from Eastern Wuo.

Its terrifying power is evident from this.

Even Zhang Xuanyi, the sect leader of the Medical Saint Sect who is recognized as a genius, only has a superficial understanding of arrays.

While he could set up an array covering a hundred meters, covering a whole mountain like Li Chen, spanning thousands of meters, would be quite like forcing a duck onto a perch, overly demanding.

The deeper into the mountain they went, the more shocked Zhang Tianrui felt.

He originally thought that Li Chen was merely a Martial Arts prodigy, but he hadn’t expected Li Chen’s mastery of Taoist techniques to be not at all lesser than his Martial Arts talent.

When Zhang Tianrui saw the continuously operating Spiritual Spring Formation, he was utterly convinced.

So the Life Spirit Spring, eagerly sought after outside at sky-high prices, was being produced in this manner.

At this moment, Heavenly Master Zhang was completely overwhelmed by Li Chen’s unfathomable abilities.

Entering the hall, Zhang Tianrui pointed at the rows of pressure cookers placed in the corner of the wall, curiously asking, “Eh, Alliance Hierarch, what kind of treasure are these?

They look like pressure cookers?”

Li Chen nodded and replied, “That’s right, they are pressure cookers.

Bought them from Taobao, 99 yuan each, and free shipping!”

Zhang Tianrui, with a face full of astonishment, asked puzzledly, “Alliance Hierarch, what are you doing with so many pressure cookers?”

Li Chen casually replied, “What else can I be doing?

Of course, I’m using them for alchemy!”

“What?

Using a pressure cooker for alchemy?”

Zhang Tianrui was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, his face filled with disbelief.

Li Chen casually asked, “What’s the matter, do you have a problem?”

Zhang Tianrui quickly shook his head, saying, “No, no problem, just a bit shocked.”

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, calmly explaining, “There’s nothing shocking about it, every flower and every tree can be used in alchemy, let alone a pressure cooker?”

Zhang Tianrui was too astounded to speak and stepped forward to give a big bow, showing his admiration towards Li Chen, resembling the endless flow of the Yellow River.

Li Chen turned around and looked at Zhang Tianrui, speaking lightly, “Heavenly Master Zhang, if you perform well and diligently work for me, I can also teach you about alchemy and arrays!”

“Really?”

Hearing this, Zhang Tianrui’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Arrays and alchemy, these are indeed peerless treasures.

Especially arrays, even as an elder of the Medical Saint Sect, he couldn’t get access to them.

“Of course, it’s true!”

After saying this, Li Chen casually pulled out a basic introductory alchemy book and tossed it to Zhang Tianrui.

“This is an alchemy book, take it back and study it slowly.

Serve me well, and I most certainly will not treat you unfairly!”

Zhang Tianrui, upon receiving it, saw that it indeed was an alchemy book.

Overwhelmed with excitement, he immediately knelt down.

“I am willing to be the loyal dog under the Alliance Hierarch, to climb mountains and dive into boiling oil without hesitation!”

Li Chen looked very pleased with Zhang Tianrui’s attitude.

“Alright, Heavenly Master Zhang, get up.

Now let’s discuss the serious business, about the pills you were supposed to prepare, how is it going?”

“Mostly ready, just…

still lacking a fire attribute spiritual medicine!”

Tremblingly after speaking, Zhang Tianrui sneaked a peek at Li Chen’s expression.

At this moment, Li Chen’s expression remained calm without any sign of anger, merely frowning slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

Indeed, this was already anticipated by him.

After all, Earth is just a planet in the End of Dharma age for cultivators, where even a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine is rare, let alone one with a natural attribute.

Its rarity could be comparable to that of a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Not to mention that the Medical Saint Sect wouldn’t have this item, even if they did, it would definitely be treasured as a sect’s protector and not easily given away.

If it were an enemy force, Li Chen might have just taken it by force, and who could have said anything?

But since the Medical Saint Sect is part of the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance, and Zhang Tianrui is the vice hierarch of the alliance, openly snatching it would be unjustifiable ethically and could dishearten his subordinates.

Seeing Li Chen frowning, Zhang Tianrui’s heart drummed nonstop.

He carefully chose his words and said with clasped hands, “Alliance Hierarch, I know of a place that might have a thousand-year fire attribute spiritual medicine!”

Hearing this, Li Chen’s eyes brightened, and he asked urgently, “Where?”

Zhang Tianrui said, “Lingnan Divine Dragon Pond, in the cliffs at the bottom of the pond, there is a Dragon Blood Fruit, reportedly nurtured by dragon blood, belonging to thousand-year spiritual medicine.”

“However, it is said that at the bottom of the pond lives a demon beast that has lived for hundreds of years, called the Divine Dragon.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, many great grandmasters have gone to the Divine Dragon Pond.

Unfortunately, all have returned without success.”

“After the Japanese invaders came to China, hearing of the divine medicine in Lingnan, they even deployed troops and bombed with planes and cannons.

But in the end, the result was the complete annihilation of their forces.

This failed operation reportedly wiped out the Japanese’s most elite Divine Wind Special Team, severely dealt a blow to their arrogance.

The National Government Army thus launched a major counter-offensive, driving the Japanese invaders out of Lingnan in disarray, turning the tide of the battle in Lingnan.”

“To this event, President Jiang of the National Government personally issued a silk banner inscribed with ‘National Guardian Beast’ to commend the Divine Dragon’s patriotic heart.”

“However, humorously, the Divine Dragon ended up swallowing everyone who went to present the banner.

Left with no other choice, the National Government could only ask skilled craftsmen to carve a stele at the entrance and hastily concluded the matter.”

Hearing Zhang Tianrui’s recount, Li Chen gained a rough understanding of the Lingnan Divine Dragon Pond.

Based on his description, the dragon at the bottom of the pond might be a low-level Flood Dragon, or a blood python that had acquired spiritual intelligence, roughly equivalent to a human’s Demigod Realm.

It looks like I will have to take a trip to Lingnan!
