Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 22

Night fell. A crescent moon hung in the sky, appearing and disappearing between the clouds.

An evening breeze swept by, bringing a hint of chill. Tonight was unusually quiet.

Ordinarily, the chirping of insects could be heard at night, but tonight was oppressively silent.

"A storm is coming..."

Long Dou sat cross-legged on the rooftop, acting as Long Chen’s protector while keeping an eye on the Su Family’s movements.

He knew a fierce battle was inevitable tomorrow, and the key to victory was Long Chen.

At this moment, Long Chen, who had been cultivating in seclusion inside his room, slowly opened his eyes.

"In less than half a day, I refined 200,000 Spirit Stones!"

Long Chen couldn’t help but marvel at the terrifying speed at which the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula refined Spirit Stones.

Even more terrifying was the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body, which could withstand the Spiritual Energy of 200,000 Spirit Stones continuously in under half a day.

Not only did it withstand the Spiritual Energy, but it also successfully converted it into Battle qi.

Such a refining speed, along with this capacity and conversion ability, was something even a Martial Artist of the War King Realm could only dream of achieving.

"Young Master, how is the recovery of the Dragon Blood?" Xia Duoduo’s voice suddenly rang out.

Long Chen smiled bitterly. "Only half of the Dragon Blood has recovered."

Hearing this, Xia Duoduo was utterly shocked. "You refined a full 200,000 Spirit Stones and only recovered half of the Dragon Blood?"

The Dragon Blood Long Chen had cultivated was sparse to begin with, yet astonishingly, 200,000 Spirit Stones had only restored half of it.

Even though Xia Duoduo knew that Dragon Blood was extremely difficult to cultivate, she had never imagined it would be this challenging.

Furthermore, Long Chen’s Martial Arts Realm hadn’t advanced in the slightest, and his depleted qi and blood had not been restored.

A full 200,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones had been used solely to recover his Dragon Blood, yet the result was a mere fifty percent restoration.

"The Young Master’s Constitution is too terrifying," Xia Duoduo exclaimed, knowing it must be because of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body.

As Long Chen got up and walked out of the room, he thought to himself, It should be enough for one use of Dragon Blood Boiling. Although the lost Essence Qi and flesh can’t be restored in the short term, it doesn’t affect my combat power. At most, I just won’t be able to sustain a prolonged battle.

Long Chen was still visibly emaciated, his face pale and his body nothing but skin and bones, as if afflicted with a terminal illness.

This was the consequence of forcibly maintaining the Secret Technique of Gods and Demons, Dragon Blood Boiling, which had caused an excessive loss of his flesh and Essence Qi.

Spirit Stones alone could not restore lost flesh and Essence Qi. After all, the Spiritual Energy gained from refining them could only be converted into Battle qi.

Therefore, to restore flesh and Essence Qi, one had to consume restorative Miraculous Elixirs and Medicines or refine Heaven and Earth Treasures.

"Dad, what’s the situation with the Su Family?" Long Chen stopped in the courtyard and looked toward Long Dou on the rooftop.

Long Dou looked at Long Chen with a pained expression before leaping down to his side.

"No one from the Su Family has left the city. It seems Shangguan Ming is very confident and has no intention of sending anyone to the Martial Ancestor Ground Institute for help."

As he spoke, Long Dou took out a Storage Bag from his robes and handed it to Long Chen. "Manager Ling Yan from the World Business Association came by this evening. She brought many Third-rank Superior Elixirs for replenishing blood and qi. They’re all in the Storage Bag. There are still a few Shichen until dawn, so you should refine them."

Long Chen took the Storage Bag and nodded. Using his mind to sense its contents, he discovered a hundred pills, all of them Third-rank Superior Pills.

Elixirs were categorized from First to Seventh-rank, with each rank further divided into the upper, middle, and lower three grades. Furthermore, they were distinguished as either Gold Pattern Pills or Silver Pattern Pills. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Third-rank Elixirs corresponded to the War Master Realm and were the most suitable for Long Chen.

Martial Artists of the War Master Realm could only withstand the effects of Third-rank Elixirs; taking higher-ranked ones would only backfire.

"Ling Yan said that these one hundred Third-rank Superior Pills are a loan. According to the normal price, she’s charging you 100,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones for each," Long Dou said, his brow furrowed. "The total value is 10,000,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones. For her to lend them to you so easily is surprising. She also said she’ll come to see you before dawn. If you’re willing, she will take you out of Dragon City.

"If you’re unwilling, she hopes you’ll tell her the whereabouts of the Gold Pattern Master. In that case, these one hundred Elixirs will be your reward."

Hearing this, Long Chen’s gaze flickered. The Gold Pattern Master? That must refer to the Alchemist who refines Gold Pattern Pills, right?

The main reason Ling Yan was helping was because of the Gold Pattern Pills.

"I will tell her." Long Chen couldn’t help but smile, thinking, I’m the one who refines Gold Pattern Pills. How could Ling Yan not believe me? Well, whether she believes it or not, I’ll just have to tell her again.

Right now, he truly needed these one hundred elixirs for replenishing his blood and qi.

"What do you plan to do about your second uncle?" Long Dou suddenly asked.

His second uncle was Long Hen. Long Tian was the eldest of the three blood brothers, followed by Long Hen, and then Long Dou.

A cold light flashed in Long Chen’s eyes. "Dad, not only did he plan to give Xin’er to Su Jun, but he even sent people to kill you. How can such a beast be spared?"

"I’ve already investigated both matters. The one who sent men to kill me wasn’t your second uncle; it was Su Lie, the Second Elder of the Su Family," Long Dou said slowly. "Su Lie never intended for Su Ao to live. After all, he was born from an affair between Su Feng and Su Lie’s wife. Therefore, Su Lie secretly bribed a manager in the Long Family. That manager then had his son, Long Tao, come to kill me. The idea was that if I died, you would certainly kill Su Ao out of fury. Who would have thought you had already killed Su Ao? As for Long Xin..."

Long Dou’s expression turned complex. "She’s actually not your second uncle’s biological daughter. She’s an abandoned infant he adopted years ago..."

Before Long Dou could finish his sentence, a voice filled with terror suddenly rang out, "Third Uncle! Did you say I’m an abandoned infant?"

Long Xin stood at the courtyard entrance, her pretty face pale and her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
