Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 68: Junior Brother Zhang, what are you in such a hurry for?
At the foot of Lihuomen Mountain, beside the riverbank.

Xiao Chen, who was unaware that he had been targeted, was concentrating on practicing his newly acquired magic.

Each of the five purple-gold bamboo slips records a top-level yellow-level spell, corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

He had chosen to practice the Green Thorn Technique before because as a cultivator with wood spiritual roots, he had been thinking about learning a wood-based spell for a long time.

But now that he had some free time, his attention turned to the defensive golden armor technique.

As the name suggests, this spell condenses a phantom armor on the monk's body.

As long as the golden armor is intact, it will be invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire.

Moreover, this golden armor is like real armor. Even if one part is broken, the rest of the parts can still function.

When encountering a melee or being attacked by surprise, you can resist several scattered attacks at the same time.

It is not like the Golden Light Technique, where once it is broken, the whole body will be exposed.

Xiao Chen liked this feature very much, as it meant that his survivability had been further improved.

At the same time, with the addition of featherweight players.

The golden armor he condensed was not a thin illusion. Instead, it was ten layers of normal golden armor stacked on top of each other, as if it were real and emitting a golden light.

Xiao Chen walked to the river, looked at his reflection in the water, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, damn handsome."

He simply stayed by the riverbank for several days, practicing the other three spells together.

This is a way to avoid the endless invitations from Bishui Peak.

Ever since he became famous, not only did fellow students whom he had only met once before come to him and ask him to have a meal.

There were even many junior sisters whom he had never met before, who appeared out of nowhere and said they wanted to go shopping in the market with him.

Some people even come to visit with various gifts, hoping to establish a relationship in advance.

Xiao Chen was so annoyed that he simply decided to hide outside for a while and not go back for the time being.

He stayed outside for a month.

He practiced all five spells to the entry level and enriched his skills.

The other disciples failed to find anyone for several times in a row, and gradually stopped running to Bishui Peak. After all, everyone had their own things to do.

Only Junior Brother Zhang from the Fourth Branch was not very enthusiastic at the beginning.

But in the second half of the month, he came to see me twice a day and was very concerned about me.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was not there again that day, Junior Brother Zhang returned to the house disappointed, and was filled with anger in his heart: "Where the hell is this damn Xiao Chen hiding?"

"I can't find anyone all day long. I might as well just die out there."

He is the insider bribed by the Cang Yan Sect's Dark Hall.

It was he who provided all the information about Xiao Chen before.

Therefore, after the three brothers of the Tian family arrived near Lihuo Gate, they contacted him immediately and asked him to help provide Xiao Chen's itinerary.

If possible, it would be best to use false information to trick Xiao Chen out.

But Junior Brother Zhang couldn't even see the person, so he had no chance to cheat at all.

As time went by, the three brothers of the Tian family began to suspect that he was not working properly, and they used threats and inducements many times, and even forced him to drink poison.

If he fails to provide useful information within the next three days, he will not be given the antidote and will be allowed to die from the poison.

Junior Brother Zhang was extremely anxious.

At the same time, he regretted why he had been so obsessed with greed for those spirit stones.

He cursed Xiao Chen repeatedly, hating why Xiao Chen was hiding, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill him.

In the evening, Junior Brother Zhang was so panicked that he ran back to Bishui Peak.

This time, he finally met Xiao Chen who had returned at the foot of the mountain. "Senior Brother Xiao, you're finally back!"

Junior Brother Zhang ran over excitedly, his eyes red: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come back soon, it will be too late."

Xiao Chen was a little confused: "Junior brother, don't get excited. What are you talking about? It's too late?"

Junior Brother Zhang was mentally prepared.

He immediately lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, some time ago, I accidentally got the news about the Five-Colored Golden Lotus."

"My childhood friend from the same hometown has a friend who wants to sell a five-colored golden lotus in exchange for money."

"Brother Xiao, I can take you to see him."

The five-colored golden lotus is an extremely rare spiritual flower.

Its five colors correspond to the five elements, and it is the essential main ingredient for refining the foundation-building pill.

In theory, this thing is a controlled substance.

The Lihuo Sect publicly purchased it at the price of one thousand spirit stones, and strictly prohibited cultivators from trading privately.

However, a considerable number of monks are unwilling to abide by this rule.

After obtaining the five-colored golden lotus by chance, they were willing to take risks in order to sell more spirit stones.

Even if you risk being discovered by Lihuomen and being cheated by the buyer, you still have to look for buyers privately.

After all, in many cases, the five-colored golden lotus can even be priced at a premium of up to two thousand spirit stones.

With such a high price difference, it is definitely worth the risk.

Many buyers are actually members of a large family, and they are willing to pay high prices.

For a single cultivator, two thousand spirit stones are a lot.

However, for a family, especially some foundation-building families with only one foundation-building ancestor, they face the risk of a generational extinction of foundation-building cultivators.

A mere two thousand spirit stones is nothing at all, and a higher price is acceptable.

As long as you get the five-colored golden lotus, there will naturally be plenty of ways to bypass the supervision of the Lihuo Gate.

The reason why Junior Brother Zhang chose to use the Five-Colored Golden Lotus to trick Xiao Chen out was because he took into consideration that he was now at the ninth level of Qi Refining and lacked the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He whispered, "Brother Xiao, I've thought it all out for you. If you accept Elder Chen as your master, you won't have to worry about the sect's punishment."

"As long as I can get the Five-Colored Golden Lotus, with the Chen family's connections, why would I worry about not having the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"You don't know, they're also in urgent need of a large amount of spirit stones, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to sell this kind of thing. Where else can you find such an opportunity?"

"Brother Xiao, these are all from the bottom of my heart. You must seize this opportunity."

After being persuaded by him, Xiao Chen was really tempted.

Although he already had three spiritual objects for building the Heavenly Dao foundation, if he could get a foundation-building pill early as a backup, he would feel at ease when collecting the remaining two spiritual objects.

And if Junior Brother Zhang's news was true, he really didn't have to worry about the sect's punishment.

But he was a little skeptical about whether this Junior Brother Zhang was reliable.

"How about this, Junior Brother Zhang, wait for me to prepare some spirit stones, and then go in two days."

He planned to find out about Junior Brother Zhang's daily behavior in the next two days.

"Can not be done!"

Upon hearing this, Junior Brother Zhang became anxious: "It will be too late in two days."

Xiao Chen looked at his anxious expression, somewhat puzzled: "Junior Brother Zhang, you seem very anxious. What are you anxious about?"
