Chapter 292 - Fire Essence
After entering Yuqin Palace, Long Chen finally understood the difference between the imperial family and normal nobles. The scale and grandness of the buildings were too different; they were far fancier than the ones he had seen in Yuanling City.
Elder Yan held a high position in Yuqin Palace. Therefore, the servants and guards took notice when they saw him walking alongside Long Chen. They only discussed amongst themselves once Long Chen was gone. Many people visited the palace each day, but it was rare to see Elder Yan escort someone personally.
“Our Lord is waiting for you in the study.” Elder Yan was emotionless as he pointed in a direction before leading Long Chen over there. Elder Yan didn’t talk much, but he did look at Ling Xi a few times, his eyes revealing a suspicious intent.
While walking through the palace, Long Chen felt that the temperature was higher than outside. A sense of warmth circulated around him, completely dispelling the chill from the spring wind. He felt his body become lighter whenever he breathed in. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
“What is this? A normal human would be able to extend their lifespan by just being in this environment.” Long Chen carefully inspected his surroundings.
Ling Xi would benefit greatly from the warmth since she was a normal human now, though she retained her knowledge as a cultivator.
“This must be an effect from a treasure that releases a lot of Yang energy. It can dispel the chill while increasing the efficiency of cultivation.”
“I see. I wonder if that treasure would help Xiaolang,” Long Chen whispered.
Elder Yan looked back when he sensed that Long Chen was examining the surroundings. “Do you feel something different here?”
Long Chen nodded.
“All those who enter Yuqin Palace have the same sensation. Just wait a bit and you will see the item that causes it.” Elder Yan was filled with pride.
“I wonder what that item is.” Long Chen probed further.
“It’s not exactly a secret. When our Lord became an adult, the Sword Emperor gifted him ten Fire Essences, a rare item that can only be found deep inside underground lava. It is very difficult to even come across one, much less ten of them. It’s no surprise, considering how much the Sword Emperor adores the Ninth Prince.” Elder Yan smiled at the thought.
The Sword Emperor was the current emperor of the Cangyang Kingdom. He had received the title due to his achievements in swordsmanship.
Long Chen knew the reason why the imperial family could control the entire Cangyang Kingdom was because of their cultivation.
There were three main types of cultivators in the Cangyang Kingdom. The first was the normal cultivators, the second was the Beast Warriors. In the Beast Soul Palace of Yuanling City, most cultivators were Beast Warriors. The final type was the Armament Warrior.
Long Chen had heard of them before but had never seen one. It was said that a Beast Warrior was stronger than a normal cultivator at the same cultivation level, while an Armament Warrior was stronger than a Beast Warrior! Still, Armament Warriors were only the strongest among normal cultivators. They were nowhere close to someone like Long Chen, who was a Dragon Warrior.
Becoming a Beast Warrior required quite a bit of talent, and becoming an Armament Warrior required even more. They needed to be born with something special. Usually, the souls of humans could be separated into ten equal pieces. Armament Warriors were born with one extra piece in their dantian, and that extra piece was called the Armament Soul.
Those with an Armament Soul could merge it with their weapon. Doing so would make their weapon a part of their body, allowing them to utilize stronger techniques. There were also other benefits that Long Chen was unaware of.
“Come in.”
Elder Yan said nothing and nodded as he pushed the door open. He then escorted Long Chen and Ling Xi inside. Mo Xiaolang followed suit.
Once inside, Long Chen gasped when he saw how lavish the interior was. Since it was the study, there was naturally an ungodly amount of books. There was also a large amount of writing utensils and decorations that lent the place a distinguished aura.
Long Chen saw the Ninth Prince sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. The Ninth Prince was drinking tea while reading a book, surrounded by a lot of servants. When he saw Long Chen and Ling Xi enter, he waved his hand at the servants. The beautiful servants nodded and carefully left the place before closing the door.
“Long Chen and Miss Ling Xi, please sit.” The Ninth Prince straightened up as he looked at Long Chen and stole several glances at Ling Xi without betraying any emotion.
“Thank you, my Lord.”
In order to enter the Counter Essence Realm to obtain a Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit so Ling Xi could completely recover, Long Chen was more than ready to enter the imperial capital even though it might be an abyss of no return, much less the Ninth Prince’s palace.
Long Chen took Ling Xi’s hand and sat at the side. Even though Ling Xi was strong as a spirit, she was now a normal human. She had learned how to be docile since she could do nothing now. She usually didn’t speak in front of strangers, but her senses were sharp enough to tell that someone was staring at her greedily.
Is it the Ninth Prince? Ling Xi looked at the Ninth Prince but saw that he was speaking to Long Chen. He had not once looked at her.
Ling Xi thought she was overthinking it.
“Long Chen, it’s been seventeen days since we separated. I tried to search for you, but you were not at your original location. I kept trying to listen to news of your appearance for the past few days. You sure made me work.” The Ninth Prince’s tone contained a hint of impatience.
“Sorry. I was worried that there were other assassins, so I went and hid myself.”
Despite apologizing, he was not sorry at all. He did not care about the Ninth Prince, as the only thing he wanted was the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit.
“Tell me everything that happened while we were separated,” the Ninth Prince said distractedly.
Long Chen decided to not say anything about Goldfish Island, as he didn’t trust the Ninth Prince enough.
“I felt that I was on the verge of advancing, so I found a place to cultivate and entered the Second River Stage before coming to the capital.”
Even though he had lied, there was a kernel of truth in his story. He had indeed reached the Second River Stage.
“You’ve broken into the Second River Stage so soon after reaching the First River Stage?”
The Ninth Prince was shocked. Long Chen was only at the late Heavenly Core Realm when he earned his position as an Immortal Guard. To think he had reached the Second River Stage in such a short amount of time.
The Ninth Prince had no choice but to reevaluate Long Chen’s potential.
