The long whip was extremely fast and the angle was tricky. It turned out that it was a whip master. Long Chen could have dodged it, but he was holding the little girl in his hands and it was inconvenient to move.

  He couldn't help but get angry. It was too late to dodge at this moment. He protected the little girl in his arms, circulated the spiritual power under his feet, protected his whole body, and prepared to use his arms to block the whip.

  Just then, a huge figure blocked Long Chen.

  "Snap"

  With a loud bang, Ah Man in front of Long Chen grinned. It was Ah Man who blocked the whip with his back.

  "Boom boom"

  Long Chen's eyes were cold. When he wanted to see the person who made the move clearly, the chasing car had already sped away.

  But a light exclamation came. Obviously, the person was also surprised by Ah Man's appearance, but did not stop.

  "Ah Man, are you okay?" Long Chen suppressed his anger and asked.

  "Brother Long, I'm fine. I've been beaten so many times since I was a child that I've practiced it a long time ago," Ah Man said carelessly.

  However, his clothes behind him were torn, and a long bloodstain appeared on his broad back, and blood was slowly flowing down the wound.

  At this moment, a woman suddenly hugged the little girl and burst into tears, and hurried to thank Long Chen and Ah Man.

  Ah Man smiled innocently, and Long Chen comforted the little girl softly for a few words and left.

  However, Long Chen was very angry. You dared to whip me in public while walking in the downtown area. I want to see how many hairs have grown on your courage?

  Although Ah Man's injuries looked scary, they were all superficial injuries and were not serious.

  This made Long Chen surprised at Ah Man's terrifying body. The person who attacked was extremely powerful, but Ah Man only broke a little skin.

  As the two were walking, Ah Man's stomach suddenly growled like thunder. Long Chen was stunned, and suddenly he realized that there was a bun shop next to him, and bursts of meat aroma came.

  Ah Man said with embarrassment: "Brother Long, I'm not hungry"

  "It's okay, I'm hungry, let's eat first"

  Long Chen took Ah Man to the bun shop, found a table, and after the two sat down, Long Chen threw a gold coin to the boss and said: "Take out all the buns in your store"

  "Brother Long, I'm really not hungry, well, actually I just want to eat rice" Ah Man said hurriedly.

  Because countless experiences have proved that people who have seen him eat basically broke up with him, Ah Man was afraid of repeating the same mistake.

  "Ah Man, you can block the whip for me, you are my brother, I, Long Chen, can also block the whip for you, so don't say things that shouldn't be said between brothers in the future" Long Chen said very seriously.

  For someone who is willing to be a whip for him after just knowing him for a while, such a person is worthy of Long Chen's recognition as a brother.

  "Brother Long... I..."

  Ah Man suddenly covered his face and cried. After so many years of wandering, it was the first time he felt warmth and someone treated him so well.

  "Good brother, don't cry. We brothers will only sweat and bleed in the future, and will never cry again. Crying is a coward's behavior," Long Chen patted Ah Man on the shoulder and said.

  "Okay, Brother Long, I listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do," Ah Man wiped his tears and said.

  Long Chen wanted to let him have some ideas of his own, but when he thought that he could turn someone's well into a chimney, he swallowed the words back.

  At this time, the big steamer of the bun shop owner had been carried over. Long Chen smiled and said, "Ah Man, eat as much as you can. Brother Long has plenty of money in his pocket. Don't save it for me."

  "Yeah"

  Ah Man nodded and stopped being polite. He ate a fist-sized bun in one bite, like a meteor chasing the moon.

  Although he had prepared in advance, Long Chen was still shocked by Ah Man's appetite. After eating more than 300 meat buns in the whole bun shop, Ah Man seemed to be still unsatisfied.

  But the bun shop owner was frowning. All the buns were brought over. If they were made and steamed on the spot, it would be too late.

  More than 300 steamed buns only cost six silver coins. However, when the owner wanted to change the money for Long Chen, Long Chen had already left with Ah Man.

  Long Chen returned home and took Ah Man to meet his mother first. Mrs. Long was also shocked by Ah Man's figure at first.

  However, seeing that Ah Man was honest and loyal, she was relieved. When Long Chen told Ah Man about his life story, Mrs. Long agreed to let Ah Man stay.

  After settling Ah Man down, Long Chen started to refine medicine directly. Refining medicine in his own home did not require so many concerns. He opened up his soul power to the maximum and increased the speed of refining medicine to the extreme.

  It took Long Chen three days to come out of the room. After three days and three nights of continuous refining, Long Chen had nearly a hundred Fengfu Pills in his hand, and all of them were medium-grade.

  In addition to Fengfu Pills, Long Chen also refined blood coagulation pills, Qi gathering pills, and poison avoidance pills, which were very popular in the market. These were all sold to the guild to offset the medicinal materials bought on credit.

  When Long Chen just walked out of the room, Bao'er had already walked over with a somewhat embarrassed look. Long Chen couldn't help but say, "Bao'er, what's wrong?"

  "Master... this..." Bao'er said a little awkwardly.

  "Just say it if you have anything to say," Long Chen said with a smile.

  "It's like this, there is no more food in the house now," Bao'er said with some uneasiness.

  Ah Man is really a big eater. Mrs. Long knows that Ah Man has a pitiful life, so she specially asked the kitchen to make more food.

  As a result, after three days, almost all the food for more than a month of the Long family was eaten up. Mrs. Long secretly took out another piece of jewelry and asked Bao'er to sell it.

  Bao'er thought it would be better to discuss this matter with Long Chen, so she came to find Long Chen.

  Long Chen laughed, pinched Bao'er's little face and said, "Little girl, good, you have learned to be smart, I will take care of this matter"

  Bao'er is Long Chen's personal maid. Even though the Long family is so poor, she is reluctant to leave. Long Chen has long regarded her as his sister.

  "Master, tonight's meal is gone," Bao'er reminded. After all, she was the housekeeper of the entire Long family. The accountant probably felt that there was no way out in the Long family and had left.

  "Well, I see. I'll do it now."

  Long Chen still had a few gold coins in his hand, but they were small money. He called Ah Man and went out together and went straight to the Alchemist Guild.

  There was no big purpose for calling Ah Man out. Long Chen wanted to exercise his brain. Wisdom is related to experience and needs to be improved.

  Entering the Alchemist Guild, Long Chen went directly to the pharmacy. When Long Chen handed dozens of plump pills to the medicine boy, the medicine boy was almost shocked.

  He clearly remembered that Long Chen had taken away the medicinal materials three days ago. Why did he come to return the pills today? Generally, it takes about half a year to a year to return the pills. This is too fast.

  However, despite the shock in his heart, he still very professionally tested each pill one by one with professional instruments.

  Seventeen mid-grade pills and thirty-six low-grade pills. Even though he was very confident in his testing skills, he almost doubted himself.

  After repeated confirmation, after offsetting the medicinal materials that Long Chen had advanced last time, there were still some pills left.

  "Teacher Long Chen, are you going to continue to exchange the remaining pills for medicinal materials, or exchange them for gold coins?" The medicine boy said respectfully.

  It feels good to be called a teacher. Long Chen said: "Exchange them all for gold coins."

  "Okay, wait a moment."

  The medicine boy hurriedly flipped out a booklet with the latest pill market on it. He wanted to settle the bill for Long Chen according to the above standards.

  "Teacher Long Chen, the total is 8.17 million gold coins," said the medicine boy.

  Long Chen nodded. The Alchemist Guild is a non-profit guild. This price is very fair. It is only 10% lower than the market price, but you can enjoy so many benefits. It is very worthwhile.

  "Exchange it for two crystal cards, one for two million, and put the rest together," Long Chen said.

  When Long Chen returned home, Baoer was already waiting at the door:

  "Master, Master Shifeng sent you an invitation," and handed Long Chen a red invitation.

  Long Chen opened it and couldn't help but smile. It turned out that Shifeng had come out of retreat and broke through the blood coagulation realm. He had set up a banquet in Juying Building to entertain everyone. It was about time.

  "Baoer, here, be a good housekeeper. In the future, Master will buy you a generous dowry and marry you off in glory," Long Chen smiled and stuffed a crystal card into Baoer.

  Bao'er's face flushed, but when she saw the number on it, she couldn't help but cover her lips with her hands, with a look of disbelief.

  "Little rich woman, from now on, the improvement of the Long family will be handed over to you. By the way, go and redeem all the jewelry that my mother pawned. Even if it costs ten times the price, it's no problem," Long Chen said.

  "Yes, young master, don't worry, Bao'er will definitely do it properly," Bao'er patted her still upright chest and promised.

  Long Chen nodded and went straight to Juying Building with Ah Man.

  Juying Building is a famous restaurant in the imperial capital. People who come here to eat are either rich or noble. The main reason is that the name of the restaurant is very grand and the dishes are good, so it has become the favorite gathering place for a group of princes and nobles.

  On the top floor of Juying Building, a huge round table is already full of various delicacies, but everyone is just chatting and has no intention of picking up their chopsticks.

  Suddenly, a figure walked in, and everyone stood up:

  "Brother Long"

  "Brother Long"

  "Lord Long"

  Shi Feng, Fatty Yu and others all called him differently, but they were all shocked when they saw Ah Man behind Long Chen.

  Shi Feng was already a strong man, but in front of Ah Man, he became a little guy.

  "Let me introduce you, this is my brother Ah Man"

  When everyone heard Long Chen's introduction, they hurriedly greeted Ah Man, but Ah Man only nodded and smiled.

  When Long Chen arrived, everyone sat down. Shi Feng raised his glass with both hands and said, "Brother Long, no more words, I, Shi Feng, will drink first to show my respect"

  Shi Feng deeply remembered Long Chen's gratitude. It would take several years to advance to blood coagulation, but now it has been completed ahead of time. It will be of great help to him in the future and he is expected to enter a higher realm.

  "We also toast to Brother Long."

  Fatty Yu took the lead and everyone stood up. They received the liquid medicine that Long Chen prepared for them, and soon they could sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Fatty Yu and the thin monkey Hou Tianming were both at the first level of Qi Gathering.

  All of this was done by Long Chen, and everyone was grateful to him.

  "Okay, cheers."

  Long Chen laughed. No matter what, these people helped him in times of crisis, and Long Chen regarded them as friends.

  After a few glasses of wine, everyone started talking, only Ah Man was eating crazily with his head down, without saying a word.

  Long Chen took special care of Shi Feng and asked him to order more dishes, but fortunately Ah Man had asked him to eat first before he came, otherwise Fatty Yu and others would be scared to death.

  After three rounds of wine, everyone mentioned their current treatment, and they couldn't help but feel high-spirited. Now they can all practice, and their status in the family has risen.

  More importantly, the news that Long Chen is an alchemist has spread throughout the entire imperial capital, and everyone knows the relationship between Fatty Yu and others and Long Chen.

  So their respective families secretly asked them to build a good relationship with Long Chen, which made everyone feel proud.

  As everyone was talking, footsteps suddenly sounded. Shi Feng frowned slightly and said, "I clearly told the boss that the entire floor was reserved by me, so why are there still people coming up?"

  "Forget it, it's more lively with more people, and happiness needs to be shared by others." Fatty Yu was obviously a little drunk, and his tongue was a little big.

  Just then, a voice came: "Let everyone here get out, I don't want to dine with a group of lowly people"

  Long Chen, who was originally drinking calmly, suddenly had a cold face and the veins on his palms popped up.
