Chapter 751 – Suxue

“What is it? I will surely agree to it!” cried Suyan. Long Chen had not only saved her, but also agreed to stay in Heavenly Wood City. She felt like this was a close brush with death and was naturally excited. Long Chen looked like a good person, and although he was a bit fierce sometimes, he was also attractive at other times ...

Looking at the energetic girl, he gave an exasperated smile. This girl likely had not experienced any hardships since she was young, so that ordeal must have terrified her. Long Chen’s appearance was like the last straw that saved her. It was natural that she grew reliant on him.

If she had encountered someone with malicious intent, she would have been finished.

Long Chen said, “You must promise not to tell anyone what methods I used to save you. If other people ask about it, say you don’t know anything. Never tell other people that I am using my blood to treat you.”

Long Chen had said this to prevent news of him having strange blood from spreading. If some masters found out about it, they could become curious and dissect him. If that happened, he would be done for.

That was an extremely simple request to Suyan, so she nodded fervently like a chick pecking at rice and said, “Alright, I understand. If other people ask me, I’ll say that you’re a mysterious alchemist!”

“Alchemist? What’s that?” Long Chen asked with surprise.

“Big Brother, don’t you know what that is?” Suyan looked at him strangely. Now that they were familiar, she grew much livelier. This was her true personality.

“Alchemists are people who use spiritual herbs, materials from demonic beasts, and other magical items to make pills by refining them with core fire through mysterious techniques. The spiritual medicines they create are often several times more powerful than their original materials, sometimes even ten times more potent. Every alchemist is a precious asset to the Nine Great Clans. Just like our Demon clan’s Brother Situ Yu. He’s a very famous alchemist! I heard that powerful alchemists can even use simple spiritual herbs to create pills that make the dead come back to life!”

Long Chen remained silent as he digested her words.

He had never heard of alchemists, but they seemed powerful, based on her explanation.

“Alchemists are extremely rare in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, but they are everywhere in the Royal Territories. There, the alchemists have formed an extraordinary organization, and it’s a popular occupation for cultivators. Many cultivators also study pill refinement part-time! Many alchemists even founded powerful factions! The True Martial Territory of the Three Royal Territories has the most alchemists,” Little Cat said lazily.

If he went to the three Royal Territories, he would surely meet alchemists.

Little Cat had told him many things about the Royal Territories recently. First, he had told him about the Armament Warriors of the Swordsoul Territory, who followed a different system compared to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. Then he told him how the Desolate Royal Territory had ten thousand demon races, and now he had told him about alchemists.

Long Chen finally knew the names of all three Royal Territories. They were the True Martial, Swordsoul, and Desolate Royal Territories! Each territory was larger than the whole sum of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. They were also densely packed with miniverses, and some of the miniverses were extremely large!

The total area of the Three Royal Territories was far larger than Long Chen had imagined. Just the True Martial Territory had tens of times more people than the billions of people in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory!

This was because miniverses were everywhere in the territories.

“Big Brother, you haven’t said if I could say you’re an alchemist! Only alchemists have the power to heal my strange injury through miraculous methods,” said Suyan, gazing at him with wide eyes.

Long Chen thought for a moment and nodded. “Of course you can.”

“That’s good.” She smiled happily. She had escaped death and met such a kind person. His position in her heart was skyrocketing to unimaginable heights.

“Father and the others are probably worried sick because I snuck out of the city. Big Brother, can we hurry back?” Suyan asked anxiously.

It was about time anyway.

He was also heading to Heavenly Wood City. Now that he had made friends with Suyan, being able to form a relationship with the Demon clan leader, Bai Lan, would be amazing for him. That was if news of him receiving the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance did not spread. If someone leaked this information, he was not sure if Bai Lan would attack him just because he had saved Suyan. The Seven Star Lord’s inheritance was extremely important to the nine clans after all.

However, Long Chen was confident that he could live in peace at least for the next hundred days, which was enough for him. During this time, Suyan had to consume dragon blood periodically, or she would die.

With this as insurance, he was not worried that the Demon clan leader would do anything to him. Based on what she had said, Bai Lai likely loved her very much and was a good father.

After all these deductions, he boldly embarked on his journey to Heavenly Wood City.

Suyan had come from there. He followed her and soon approached a gigantic tree. The nearer he went, the more stunned he became. He realized he had underestimated the tree. Its size far surpassed what he imagined.

When she saw his stunned expression, she grinned mischievously and said, “Big Brother, you’re stunned too? It looks like this is your first time in Heavenly Wood City. When I saw Heavenly Wood City for the first time, I was terrified. How could such a gigantic tree exist in this world? Even though Father told me about this tree a long time ago, I couldn’t help being terrified when I saw it. Hehe.”

He looked up at the endless wall ahead. That was the ancient tree’s trunk.

When he looked up, he realized he was inside the world created by this tree. Countless small trees grew above the tree, and they were densely packed together. The Metal District was almost completely made up of metal, and similarly, the Wood District was covered in ancient trees, including this terrifying giant.

“We’ll arrive soon,” said Su Yan, who turned around and smiled.

Long Chen nodded. Suddenly, he saw many people rushing over from the city through his Soul Swallowing Gaze. They had been walking in many directions, shouting, as if searching for something. Long Chen quickly understood that they were searching for Suyan outside the city.

Suyan heard a faint shout and grew emotional. She turned to Long Chen and cried, “Big Brother, they’re looking for me!”

When she spoke, many people had already discovered them. There was cheering, then the group of people swarmed toward Long Chen. Long Chen looked around and saw that they were all either wearing black or purple. These people were from the Demon and Thunder clans.

The main forces of the Demon and Thunder clans were based in Heavenly Wood City.

“Yan’er!” There was a cry, and Long Chen turned to look at the person leading the group. The voice came from a girl, who was rushing to the front. She looked slightly older than Long Chen, but Long Chen was slightly cautious of her cultivation level. He sensed an aura no weaker than Wu Guanyu’s radiating from her.

If she was not at the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage, she was at the ninth, and the latter was more likely.

“That’s my older sister, Suxue. She’s very impressive; she’s a Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator! Out of everyone in the Demon and Thunder clans, my sister is the strongest of the younger generation,” said Suyan with a smile as they looked at the girl who was running over.

It was as he had guessed.

He studied the girl named Suxue. She looked very similar to Suyan, as if they were both made from the same mold. But unlike Suyan, she was fully matured and had become very beautiful. She had a beautiful figure and clean, feminine features. Although they looked similar, Suyan was much more attractive than the younger girl.

How wonderful would it be if a man could take these two sisters home as his wives ...

Of course, that was just one of Long Chen’s casual thoughts.

Suxue quickly ran up to Suyan and hugged her anxiously. Clutching her shoulders, Suxue peered her up and down, and when she realized the girl was fine, she rubbed her nose and scolded, “You naughty girl! Where did you run off to this time? We were so worried! Didn’t I tell you not to run off in the Ancient Graveyard? That your life could be in danger? You need a spanking!”

It was clear that Suxue cared about her younger sister very much.

That was great. Suyan needed Long Chen to care for her for a hundred days. The more they cared about Suyan, the more they would care about Long Chen. Long Chen needed to cultivate his Seven Star Body at the highest point of Heavenly Wood City as that was the closest location to the stars.
