Unsealing Xiao Bai's cultivation base

A week passed just like this

Long Chen got to the 6th layer of qi condensation but his qi was incredibly dense, Mostly thanks to his cultivation method and the spirit spring.

Ordinarily, a big jump in cultivation level without any accumulations could lead to a lot of hidden problems but because of the special function of spirit spring, Long Chen could make successive breakthroughs without compromising on his foundation.

Long Chen decided to slow down his breakthroughs, to stabilize his foundation and improve the quality of his qi.

The spirit spring was almost devoid of energy maybe it can accommodate a person or two at most.

As for his body, he had completed the viscera tempering for all of his flesh. It was as good as new, with skin so smooth it would be hard to distinguish with a woman, at the same time every inch of his skin carried limitless power.

Still, Long Chen was a bit worried, the reason he could go so far so easily was due to the spirit spring and in the future, he would need special resources to get ahead in body tempering.

While Long Chen and his gang were celebrating their breakthroughs an unexpected guest made his way to the Southern Phoenix City.

…

Ling Ming was walking shoulder to shoulder with a young man who looked to be around 20.

He was quite handsome and there was a look of undisguised arrogance on his face.

Ling Ming-"Big brother Huang Peng welcome to our city"

Huang meng-"Little bro, it's been one day since I have been in this city, and every time we walk, people point at you and say that you been beaten up by a genius who was only at body condensation level at the time"

Ling ming's Face turned green as it was mentioned but he suppressed the fury in his heart and calmly said. "Brother I was unwell that day and that Long Chen struts around like he is the number one genius. Big brother why don't you at the 6th layer of qi condensation show him not to be arrogant"

Although Huang Peng was aware that Ling Ming was goading him, as an insufferably arrogant genius how can he back away from teaching someone a lesson.

Also, he looks down on the entire city considering them county bumpkins.

Huang meng-"Alright, I will do that, although his dad is not to be trifled with, he still has some support of the Long clan. Long Chen is nothing but a frog in a well, in a place like this not only is the quality of your qi mediocre due to your cultivation level but most bodies are trash as well.

I will show this guy what it means to be a genius" Huang Meng Spoke in an arrogant tone like he is some sort of king enlightening the masses.

Ling ming-"Little brother will keep in mind"

Ling ming may not be that talented when it comes to cultivation, but he certainly is a shrewd schemer. He started sucking up to Huang Peng who was one of the capital top geniuses in the Huang clan, and invited him to his City so that he can create conflict between Long Chen and Huang Peng.

He knows that this Huang Peng could possibly be goaded into anything. Deep in his heart, he looks down on Huang Peng, but at the same time knows that he is the perfect element to create trouble. Especially if he could throw in Bei Youer in the mix.

'Damn Long Chen I am gonna make you lose 10 times the face'

….

Long Chen returned to his estate after enjoying a banquet with his friends when a small figure pounced at him and buried her small little head on his chest.

"Big brother Xiao Bai missed you so much, you have to take Xiao Bai next time you go to play okay"

Saying that she showed her big watery eyes too, seeing this he started rubbing her head.

"Alright big brother promises will take Xiao Bai with me all the time"

By staying with him for a week, Xiao Bai had totally opened up to Long Chen and learned to act coquettishly with him, the courtesy of his maids.

Also, the maids and concubines at his estate also loved to dote upon Xiao Bai.

"Alright, Xiao Bai today I am gonna unseal your cultivation seal today are you ready."

Xiao Bai hurriedly nodded, Long Chen had talked about this to her so she was mentally prepared.

Long Chen carried her to his boudoir before sealing the room.

A little girl possessing cultivation would be much too shocking, so Long Chen wanted to seal this new as much as possible.

Long Chen made a few hand signs making a red-colored seal visible on Xiao Bai's body. Next, he put his hand on her back and concentrated his qi on the seal. He was very experienced with this process so it took him minimal brute force.

'This is probably a sinful seal used on descendants of traitors who are guilty by association

'Tshh''Grahh'

The sound of the opening of the seal came, Along with the howling of the evil spirit which was present in the seal. It took Long Chen an hour before the seal got resolved, the evil spirit died inside, and like a snake shedding skin, a red-colored chain appeared in Long Chen's hand. It looked blood red and gave off a sinister vibe.

Suddenly white liquid started pouring from all over Xiao Bai's skin, and the white liquid started condensing all over Xiao Bai's body before it solidified.

"Big brother I don't feel so good" Xiao bai was in tears and held on to Long Chen, as her last bit of warmth.

"Xiao Bai is a strong girl and this is a natural process, Our Xiao Bai can complete it" Long Chen soothed in the calmest voice he could muster.

Before she could even reply, she was completely sealed.

Long Chen got up to see what's going on when he saw that an egg has been placed on where Xiao Bai was.

'Interesting is this how she gonna regain her cultivation base'

Long Chen carefully placed the egg on the courtyard outside and asked the servants to be careful with the egg.

Suddenly an unexpected guest came along being Bei Youer

"Blockhead I heard some genius from the imperial city has come to our city and is claiming that he will help you cleanse your arrogance by defeating you".

"A bit interesting, did this guy come with Ling Ming".

"Yes that idiot brought him here"

"Tch makes sense, only trash like him could bring a retard like him"

"arent you the least bit angry?, this guy is inciting enmity with the Huang Clan with you"

Bei Youer asked with her eyes and mouth curled downwards in worry.

Seeing this Long Chen pinched Bei Youer's Cheek.

"Don't worry a dragon can't suppress a local snake, not to mention this guy is a worm"

"Tch" Bei Youer broke free off of Long Chen's grasp.

"That hurt blockhead you gotta compensate this young lady"

Bei Youer asked in righteous indignation.

'When did this little girl become a money grubber'

"What do you want? "

"Make some sort special paste or liquid for me like the jade condensation liquid".

Black lines appeared on Long Chen's forehead, as he lacked money for the herbs to make something, not to mention alchemy was never his forte.

But suddenly his eyes brightened and showed a smile, which wasn't really a smile. It even scared Bei Youer a little bit.

"You wanna make some money," Said Long Chen while rubbing his hands and showing a somewhat evil smile.

Seeing this Bei Youer was inevitably excited and the 2 of them crazily discussed their plans before they parted ways to instruct their subordinates.

The next day the City Lord estate released a statement on behalf of their young lord.

"This young lord is busy. If you wish to challenge me, gotta prepare a bet of one million silver and 10 black grade herbs. If you cant afford this go back to your beggar hole"

Hearing this the entire city was incensed, especially the Ling clan and Huang Peng, judging from his tone not only did he hold Huang Peng in contempt he even looked down on the Huang clan.

"Damn this arrogant brat, I will release my beasts to get my bet arrangements, let's see how he escapes then"

"Yes, big brother Huang Peng, in my opinion, Long Chen let out this bet so that he could escape the bet without embarrassing himself" Ling Ming did not miss any chance to flatter Huang Peng and Slander Long Chen.

Huang Peng also thought so, as one million silver was a huge amount even for him.

Ling Ming was still fanning the flames. Moreover, although the Ling clan would act incensed because of the contempt shown to Huang Peng.

They were secretly very happy seeing this conflict between Long Chen and Huang Peng escalate.

Huang Peng managed to get all the items in a week. After which Huang Peng challenged Long Chen to match.

The city arena was a massively built structure and had a viewing space of at least 50000 people. The challenge was accepted by the city lord estate making the entire city look forward to it with anticipation.

The treasure pavilion started a gambling house for the fight, with the odds of Long Chen and Huang Peng being 1 to 3.

Also, they were instructed by Bei Youer to spread the heroic tales of Huang Peng, making public opinion shift towards Huang Peng, and make him out to be the number one genius of the Huang clan.

Even most of the first-rate clans had mostly bet on Huang Peng.

The tales included how he could fight a tiger at the age of 5, and at the age of 10 most normal demonic beasts were ants beneath him. It even included how he singlehandedly escaped from a 2nd order demonic beast.

They were mixed with some of his real feats.

Listening to all this, even Huang Peng felt a bit embarrassed, but eventually, he sided with satisfying his vanity and never denied any of these.

Seeing this higher-ups of both city lord estate and the Bei clan was impressed by the abilities of these 2 little runts to scam the public.

They were absolutely sure, there is no chance in hell Huang Peng could come out too so much as even threaten Long Chen.
