Chapter 22 Ah Man

  Long Chen was shocked. That woman?

  "That woman who fought with you before," Master Yunqi said seriously.

  "What? Is there something wrong with her?" Long Chen asked doubtfully.

  Master Yunqi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Follow me."

  Long Chen followed Master Yunqi to his previous abode. He was curious. That woman was only at the ninth level of Qi Gathering. It wouldn't be necessary for Master Yunqi to specifically warn him.

  After entering the room and closing the door, Yunqi touched the ring with his big hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

  "Swish!"

  When the scroll was opened, Long Chen was shocked. He saw a beautiful woman with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a simple medicine cauldron in front of her, refining pills.

  What surprised Long Chen was that the woman's face was almost exactly the same as the crazy woman he met.

  It's just that the woman in the painting is beautiful and quiet, giving people a very gentle feeling, while the crazy woman is so different from her.

  "This is..." Long Chen said tentatively. The scroll was extremely old and obviously an old object. Long Chen didn't understand what Yun Qi meant by taking out this painting.

  "The person in the painting is my wife." Looking at the person in the painting, Master Yun Qi's serious face rarely showed a touch of warmth.

  Long Chen couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He never expected this and didn't know what to say for a while.

  After looking for a long time, Yun Qi gently put the scroll away and sighed, "My beloved wife has been dead for a long time.

  When I saw the woman for the first time, I almost thought I was dazzled. It took me a long time to calm myself down.

  But when the woman kept saying that she wanted to worship me as her master, I suddenly became alert."

  "What? Does she have some ulterior motives?" Long Chen was stunned.

  Yun Qi smiled slightly, but did not answer. After a while, he said, "She is also an alchemist with very good aptitude, maybe even better than you, so you have to be careful."

  Long Chen was a little confused, but Master Yun Qi refused to say anything later. He took Long Chen's jade token and engraved his own unique mark on it.

  The mark had a trace of his soul power. With this mark, Long Chen could prepay some precious medicinal materials in the guild pharmacy.

  After engraving the mark, Long Chen was driven out directly, which made Long Chen have countless questions in his mind?

  It seems that the arrival of the crazy woman is probably not a coincidence. If it was deliberately arranged, what did she want to do?

  Seducing Master Yun Qi? But thinking about Master Yun Qi's age, it seems unlikely.

  But even if it is seduction, you should find a quiet one. Who can stand such an arrogant and domineering woman?

  Could it be that Master Yun Qi has other secrets? Could it be his illegitimate daughter?

  No, Yun Qi's illegitimate daughter is not related to his beloved wife by a copper coin, how could she look so much like her.

  Long Chen was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, Master Yun Qi would not harm him, but he should be careful.

  He went directly to the pharmacy with the jade card. When Long Chen showed his nameplate, the medicine boy immediately became respectful.

  Long Chen asked about the procedure for prepaying medicinal materials. He understood that with the first-level credit, he could prepay medicinal materials within 5 million gold coins, and only limited to first-level medicinal materials.

  Long Chen's credit was second-level, and he could prepay first-level medicinal materials worth 30 million gold coins, and within five portions of second-level medicinal materials.

  This result made Long Chen exclaim that the trip was worthwhile. With these credit lines, he no longer had to worry about not having money to buy medicine.

  Usually, if an alchemist succeeds once out of five medicinal materials, he will basically not lose money. If he succeeds twice, he will make a lot of money.

  For Long Chen, who has the memory of the Alchemy Emperor, the failure rate of refining first-level elixirs is zero. If the elixir fire is not too bad, his efficiency will continue to improve.

  However, Long Chen thought about it and gave up the second-level elixir. Now with the power of his elixir fire, he would be exhausted to death if he wanted to refine a second-level elixir.

  The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  For now, he continued to condense Fengfu Star. Now that Fengfu Star was initially formed, there was still a lot of room for improvement. He needed to condense Fengfu Star to the perfect state.

  Long Chen wanted to buy all the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan at once, but what disappointed Long Chen was that the guild did not have so much inventory.

  In desperation, Long Chen could only withdraw 50 medicinal materials and bought some other first-level medicinal materials. After all, he could sell the elixir to the guild, which was also money.

  Fengming Empire is full of martial arts, with a large population and countless adventurers, so elixirs are always in short supply.

  However, fortunately, the Alchemist Guild is a conscientious unit and never raises prices maliciously. Otherwise, the Alchemist Guild would definitely make money the fastest and most ruthlessly.

  After Long Chen came back from the guild, he was walking when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him. He could hear scolding from a distance, so he hurried over to take a look.

  I saw a dozen guys punching and kicking a man. A chubby middle-aged man pointed at the man on the ground with his finger like a water radish and cursed loudly.

  "Brother, what's going on?" Long Chen asked a bystander.

  "Hehe, I'll tell you something that will make you laugh to death. Did you see that chimney that's over 80 feet long? That guy built it.

  The boss came to inspect today, and he was almost mad when he saw the chimney. That big idiot read the blueprint upside down. They actually wanted to dig a well, hahaha..."

  Long Chen almost burst out laughing after hearing this. Is there such a weirdo in the world? Looking at the man being beaten on the ground, his heart was slightly shocked.

  The man didn't look very old, and should not be older than Long Chen, but he was very long and extremely strong. He lay on the ground, letting those people punch and kick him without fighting back.

  What shocked Long Chen was that when those people punched and kicked him, there was an inexplicable force on him, and he bounced away.

  If it weren't for Long Chen's amazing soul power, he wouldn't have noticed the fluctuation of the fine lines at all, but that boy didn't have a trace of spiritual power fluctuation on his body, and he was not a cultivator at all.

  The young man was beaten for a long time without any reaction. On the contrary, those who beat him were exhausted and panting, with sore hands and swollen feet.

  "Damn, I'm so angry. How much money is this idiot going to make me lose? Beat him to death!"

  The fat boss looked at the big chimney in front of him and got angry. He cursed and kicked it a few times.

  "Stop it!" A voice suddenly came.

  "Stop it if you say so. Who the hell are you?"

  The boss was angry. When he heard the voice, he cursed without thinking and looked at the man.

  But when he saw the man, the boss immediately sweated on his face and stammered, "Little... Marquis..."

  "Stop it. Here are 100 gold coins, enough for you to tear down the chimney and dig a new well." Long Chen was too lazy to argue with such a person and threw him a bag of gold coins. He was too lazy to do things that could be solved with money.

  Others saw this and hurriedly stopped. The fat boss hurriedly said, "Lord, this..."

  "Take it and get out of here"

  Long Chen frowned and said coldly.

  Seeing the fat man's face, Long Chen knew that this idiot probably wanted to get close to him. He snorted coldly and said that such a person should not be treated well.

  "Yes, yes, I will get out of here"

  The fat man hurriedly led a group of people and rolled away in disgrace.

  "Little brother, get up" Long Chen said to the boy who was still lying on the ground.

  The boy seemed to be asleep. When he heard Long Chen's call, he looked up blankly and found that the people who beat him had disappeared.

  "Did you save me?" The boy said blankly.

  "Let's talk about it after getting up" Long Chen smiled. The boy looked very honest and kind, which made people feel good about him.

  "Oh"

  When the boy stood up, the people watching the excitement around him exclaimed. Originally lying on the ground, everyone thought he was very big, but now he stood up, everyone was shocked.

  The boy was nearly ten feet tall, like a giant, which made the people around him feel full of pressure.

  "So tall"

  Long Chen couldn't help but be shocked. In front of him, everyone around him became like children.

  "They hit you, why didn't you fight back?" Long Chen saw that he was so strong, and those who beat him were not warriors, he could easily beat them down.

  "They said I did something wrong, they beat me, I couldn't fight back," the boy said honestly.

  Long Chen shook his head. Although this big guy was strong, he seemed to have the IQ of a child. It was rare for someone to be so honest and simple, but he could build a well into a chimney, and this IQ was enough to make people worry.

  "Where is your home?"

  "I don't have a home, big brother, does your family need hard labor? I don't need wages, just give me food, I'm so hungry" the young man begged.

  Long Chen was about to speak when someone suddenly reminded him: "Young Marquis, don't be fooled, this kid can eat a cow in one meal, it's definitely not worth it for you to hire him"

  "No, I can live without meat, as long as I have food to eat" the young man said anxiously.

  "Okay, then follow me, what's your name?" Long Chen asked.

  "My name is Manniu, thank you big brother" Manniu said excitedly.

  "Well, I'll call you Ah Man from now on, and you can call me Brother Long" Long Chen nodded.

  "Okay, Brother Long" Ah Man nodded honestly.

  When Long Chen and Ah Man left, the people present could not help but envy that big fool, who was admired by a prince. It was really a blessing for a fool.

  Along the way, Long Chen asked Ah Man about his past. Ah Man said that he was picked up by a kind-hearted person, but when he was five years old, a plague took the lives of all the villagers, and only he survived.

  So he wandered to the imperial capital alone, relying on doing hard labor for others to beg for food, but because he had a big appetite, he was soon driven away, and his life was very hard.

  "Ah Man, follow me in the future, I won't let you starve." Long Chen couldn't help but feel a touch of sympathy in his heart.

  Sure enough, the awesome people have the same awesomeness, and the miserable people have their own miserableness. Although the two have different identities, the degree of misery is not much different. Long Chen just changed his luck.

  As the two were walking, they had just entered a wide road, and suddenly a cry came, and a huge figure rushed past.

  It was a luxurious carriage, and the one pulling the carriage was a red-blooded yak, a first-level magical beast, running all the way without paying any attention to the people around it.

  A little girl of five or six years old was playing on the roadside. Suddenly she saw the huge red-blooded yak and was frightened. She even forgot to dodge and was about to die under the carriage.

  Long Chen snorted coldly, and there was a loud bang under his feet. The solid floor tiles were crushed. He was like a flash of lightning, hugged the little girl and quickly dodged to the side.

  Long Chen had just stood firm when the carriage had already passed by the two of them. Just when Long Chen thought everything was over, an angry voice came:

  "You bold lowly people, dare to stop the carriage, you are looking for death"

  With a cold snort, a long whip with a strong wind whistled towards Long Chen.
