Chapter 98

After sending Aoxue here, Ganlin finally left. For him, if the people from the Chenxi Business Alliance wanted to find Longchen, it was Longchen's own freedom, and he could not interfere.

Clearly, Aoxue was very unhappy about being sent here. In fact, seeing Longchen grinning at her made her even angrier.

"Manager Zhao said that our Chenxi Business Alliance has a new batch of Spirit Fetus Fruits. He wants to know if you need them," Aoxue said coldly, her voice dark.

She had been doing well in the Chenxi Business Alliance, but now she had been called all the way here just to deliver this message to Longchen, which was hard for her to accept.

She couldn't understand why Manager Zhao was doing so much for just one person, Longchen.

"I need them, of course I need them!" Longchen, who had always been a wasteful person, now only had a little over a hundred divine jade stones left, and he had no intention of saving them.

"These things, once I become stronger, I'll have as many as I want. It's better to buy more things, like divine soul medicines for my beloved, so she can live longer," he thought to himself. Seeing the hatred in Aoxue's eyes, Longchen, unbothered, ordered her imperiously, "Miss Aoxue, just lead the way."

Before coming, Manager Zhao had specifically instructed her not to be impolite to Longchen. Aoxue didn't dare to defy Manager Zhao's orders, so despite Longchen's rudeness, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

"Brat, if I get a chance, I'll definitely peel your skin off! Just because you got a few Steel Hearts, Manager Zhao treats you like a treasure. I'll show you that I'm better than you!" she thought angrily. Aoxue didn't say anything, walking in front with a terrifyingly dark face.

"This girl isn't bad-looking, but her face is too sour, like a pile of cow dung. My Lingxi is much prettier..." Longchen muttered to himself, pointing at Aoxue. Lingxi, hearing this, felt secretly pleased and giggled.

If Aoxue had heard Longchen's words, she would have definitely fought him to the death on the spot. However, Aoxue's dark gaze made Longchen a bit wary.

"I don't know what Manager Zhao is up to. If it was just about the Spirit Fetus Fruits, he could have had Aoxue bring them to me directly. This elaborate arrangement suggests he wants to win me over," Longchen thought to himself as he followed Aoxue, admiring her graceful figure and swaying steps.

It was the afternoon, and there were fewer customers in the Chenxi Business Alliance. When Longchen arrived, Manager Zhao warmly greeted him, hugging him and patting his shoulder. "Brother Longchen, you've finally come again!"

"Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a trap," Lingxi muttered in the Lingxi Sword.

Longchen also warmly responded to Manager Zhao, who then led him to the VIP room where they had met before. He invited Longchen to sit down and had Aoxue, who looked furious, serve tea and water, smiling at Longchen.

"I heard you killed a Danren Minor expert in a small town? Have you reached the Danren stage?"

At that moment, Aoxue was pouring tea. When she heard Manager Zhao bluntly say this shocking news, she was so startled that she spilled the tea outside the cup.

"Sorry, Manager, I was really careless..."

Manager Zhao didn't want to lose his temper in front of Longchen, so he dismissed her. But Longchen waved his hand, looking at Aoxue arrogantly. "Don't go yet. You made a mess, you should clean it up, right?"

"You!" Aoxue was about to lose control, but Manager Zhao quickly said, "Aoxue, clean it up."

Hearing Manager Zhao's calm voice, Aoxue didn't dare to disobey. She glared at Longchen and gritted her teeth as she started to clean up.

Seeing her frustration, Longchen felt secretly pleased. The last time he came to the Chenxi Business Alliance, her attitude had been so arrogant, making him very unhappy. Now, it was her turn to taste the bitterness.

Finally, Longchen and Manager Zhao got down to business.

"Manager Zhao, it's true that I've reached the Divine Dan stage, but the rumor about me killing my senior brother Huang Feiyang is just a lie. If I had really killed him, I wouldn't be here unharmed, talking to you."

Manager Zhao also found the rumor about Longchen killing Huang Feiyang unlikely, given that Longchen had just entered the Danren stage.

However, even if Longchen hadn't killed Huang Feiyang, it didn't affect his high regard for Longchen. He took out a large wooden box, which contained two Spirit Fetus Fruits wrapped in red silk.

Seeing the two Spirit Fetus Fruits, Lingxi's eyes lit up, but Longchen's face turned sour.

"Brother Longchen, these are the Spirit Fetus Fruits you wanted."

The divine jade stones in Longchen's bag weren't enough to buy two Spirit Fetus Fruits, so he regretfully said, "Manager Zhao, I don't need two. With my current money, I can only afford one."

Longchen's poor appearance immediately earned him a look of disdain from Aoxue. She had thought Longchen could really kill a Danren Minor expert and had been afraid of him, but now she realized it was just a rumor.

"This brat, he's just entered the Danren stage. What's there to be proud of? In a few days, I'll reach the Danren stage too, and then we'll see who's stronger!"

In Aoxue's mind, Manager Zhao's high regard for Longchen made her jealous.

Seeing Longchen's troubled expression, Manager Zhao laughed. "Didn't I say before that we've met twice and can be considered friends? How about this: you buy one, and I'll give you the other one for free, okay?"

Manager Zhao's admiration for him was genuine, but the effort he was putting in was considerable.

Longchen knew he couldn't leave the Lingwu Family at this time, so he was hesitant to accept Manager Zhao's gift.

Seeing Longchen still hesitating, Manager Zhao's eyes flickered as he stared at him. "How about this, brother. You do something for me, and I'll give you the Spirit Fetus Fruit. We won't owe each other anything, okay?"

"I don't know what I can do for Manager Zhao."

When Zhao Tianfang said this, his expression was serious, so Longchen guessed this was the main reason he had called him here today. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Aoxue all the way to meet him.

Zhao Tianfang smiled faintly, dismissed Aoxue, and then took out a spatial bag. In a moment, he pulled out a crystal about the size of a baby's fist.

Longchen looked closely and saw that the crystal was entirely blue, shaped like a rhombus, with sharp points at both ends. On this crystal, which looked like a blue crystal, there were flashes of lightning and blue flames.

"Leiyan Crystal?"

In the Lingxi Sword, Lingxi's voice was filled with surprise.

Longchen was too close to Manager Zhao, so after Lingxi shouted "Leiyan Crystal," she didn't dare to say more. However, Longchen knew that this Leiyan Crystal must be something valuable.

"Do you know what this is?"

Manager Zhao asked seriously.

Longchen shook his head. "No."

"This is called... Leiyan Crystal."

Manager Zhao rotated the Leiyan Crystal in his palm, staring at it intently. His voice was excited. "The Leiyan Crystal is a miraculous treasure of the heavens and earth. It has no rank. As long as you successfully integrate it into your body, it can give you the power of lightning and fire. This power is very effective for body tempering. If you can integrate ten Leiyan Crystals or more, you can achieve the Leiyan Body!"

Longchen looked at the Leiyan Crystal in shock. "Just by integrating it, without cultivation?"

Wouldn't that mean it was even more convenient than the Guiyuan he had just obtained?

After all, it had taken Longchen a whole day and night to refine the Guiyuan life battle technique.

"Of course, it's not just that..." Manager Zhao shook his head. "How many Leiyan Crystals you can integrate depends on your talent and physique. If you can integrate ten or more, you can achieve the Leiyan Body. With the power of lightning and fire at your fingertips, you'll be called a Leiyan Warrior."

Leiyan Warrior?

It sounded pretty good.

Longchen realized that the world he knew was still too small. The Guiyuan fruit he had just obtained and this Leiyan Crystal were both incredible treasures.

However, Zhao Tianfang had just said he wanted Longchen to do something, so why was he now showing him this Leiyan Crystal?

Thinking about this, Longchen asked suspiciously, "Manager Zhao, what does this Leiyan Crystal have to do with me?"

Returning to the main topic, Manager Zhao smiled faintly and looked at Longchen carefully. "To be honest, I have high hopes for you. The task I want you to do is to try and see how many Leiyan Crystals you can integrate with your talent."

Longchen felt as if he had been hit by a falling pie from the sky, his face full of disbelief.

When Manager Zhao said he wanted Longchen to do something, Longchen had thought it would be difficult, but now it turned out to be a great opportunity?

Manager Zhao was just trying to win Longchen over to the Chenxi Business Alliance, but he kept giving him such great benefits. Longchen was hesitant, wondering what obligations he would have if he accepted these benefits. Seeing his hesitation, Manager Zhao said seriously, "Longchen, don't think the Leiyan Crystal is easy to integrate. It has violent power. If you can't handle it, you'll die. I'm asking you to try the Leiyan Crystal. If your physique can't handle even one Leiyan Crystal, you might die. So, getting those two Spirit Fetus Fruits isn't easy. Think about it..."

While Longchen was hesitating, Lingxi suddenly said, "Agree quickly."

Lingxi was knowledgeable and very familiar with Longchen's situation. When she said this, Longchen didn't hesitate and nodded vigorously. "Greatness comes with risk. Since Manager Zhao looks up to me, I'll definitely try the Leiyan Crystal today!"
