Chapter 997 - 995: Reaching an Agreement
If I’d known this earlier, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble. Let Bing Ruxue propose a union of the two cities directly, merge if you want to. It could have been more effective.
Bing Ruxue also gave a bitter smile. The two exchanged a glance and all was understood without words.
Apparently, North City and Ice Hall reached an agreement. After the notice came out these days, the gates of Ice Hall City were no longer tightly shut. The two cities merged, becoming one, and the surrounding city walls began to be rebuilt, forming a large metropolis.
In East City.
"Boss, something’s up, I heard that North City and Ice Hall have merged. They’re even going to rebuild the city walls. What are we going to do?" Lin Jun quickly rushed to the Lin Family Mansion to inform Lin Kaifeng after getting the news.
"I already know about this, no need to panic. The city lord after the merger is named Chen Tianlong." Lin Kaifeng wasn’t too worried upon learning that Chen Tianlong is the overall city lord.
After that incident, Lin Kaifeng came to a realization: if Chen Tianlong really wanted to attack East City, he would have started already; there was no need to wait until now.
"Alright, but... honestly, the merger of North City and Ice Hall puts us at a great disadvantage. There used to be a balance with three cities, allowing our East City to remain peaceful, but now it’s clearly unbalanced, one-sided." Lin Jun voiced his concerns.
Lin Kaifeng sighed. Ever since his brother Lin Kaitai’s death, he had come to understand many things. In fact, these so-called powers are all illusions. Now he can’t even protect his own family, leaving himself all alone. What’s the point of gaining the world?
"This is East City’s fate..." Lin Kaifeng lamented and suddenly turned to say, "Lately, I don’t want to handle military matters too much. In the future, I’ll leave the Lin Family Army to you. I just want to take a good rest."
Clearly, Lin Kaifeng was feeling a bit weary.
"Ah? But...."
"No buts. We’re currently in a situation of internal strife and external threats, and it’s very dangerous at any time. If the merged army of North City and Ice Hall is out to get us, it’s virtually a foregone conclusion without a fight. As for the outside Fire Domain, we still have to be vigilant. I’ve heard that the Qilin Tribe has suffered heavy losses and is retaliating crazily towards the border for greater profits. You must be on guard and always defend the border." Lin Kaifeng instructed.
"Got it, big brother." Lin Jun also seemed somewhat helpless.
In Ice Hall.
Chen Tianlong had already settled things. With North City and Ice Hall merged, they could now roam around, and how could Chen Tianlong miss such a good opportunity?
Now one car couldn’t fit all the beauties, so Meijia had to drive another car, and the people from their cars started heading out to play outside Ice Hall City.
Outside Ice Hall City, in the northwest corner, was a freezing land.
But precisely because of this, these young ladies were even more curious; in the middle of summer, to find such a cold place, wouldn’t it be a shame not to take a few photos and post them on social media, asking for likes?
It’s safe to say that all of Ice City’s wonders are mainly within Ice Hall’s domain. Due to the constant battles between Ice Hall and North City, not many dared to come here for tourism, choosing instead the city center nearby.
Now with peace, everyone came here to have fun.
"By the way, Ruxue, do you know what materials were used in that Super Qi Gathering Pill you had before?" Chen Tianlong remembered he had an Alchemy Furnace. From the look of that old man who tried to take it, it should be a Divine Cauldron.
The people from the Celestial Pill Sect have all set their sights on it, meaning this cauldron must be impressive.
Thinking of Master Li Tianyou, Chen Tianlong got a bit eager. If the two really could research the Super Qi Gathering Pill, wouldn’t they be striking it rich?
The World Medicine company, if in the future, it could sell not only medicines for ordinary people but also for cultivators, wouldn’t it truly become the medicine company of the world and not just limited to ordinary folks?
"Materials, huh? I think there’s something, but the materials are hard to find. Wait a moment, I’ll get it for you to see." Now Bing Ruxue completely considered Chen Tianlong as her own, not to mention calling him husband or anything, but as long as Chen Tianlong didn’t abandon her and ignored her life and death, she was satisfied.
Chen Tianlong was overjoyed and nodded.
The materials for the Super Qi Gathering Pill might be very precious, but Master Li Tianyou’s pharmacy contained many magical elixirs. If he were really so lucky to encounter several, wouldn’t there be a chance to produce Super Qi Gathering Pills?
About ten minutes later, Bing Ruxue didn’t mind much, after all, these were all Chen Tianlong’s good friends. They all seemed harmless, so there’s no need to worry.
She took out a wooden box and then unlocked it with a key, inside was a piece of cloth.
"Is this the pill recipe?" Chen Tianlong was stunned. The contents were simple, almost just a piece of thin cloth with nothing else.
"I don’t know, this is something my mother left behind. There’s just a note on it saying ’Super Qi Gathering Pill Recipe,’ so I guess it’s this." Bing Ruxue said with a bitter smile.
The women around also gathered to watch the excitement. It really seemed like a group of wives playing around their husband. Every face had a smile.
Wu Mengting, at this moment, didn’t feel anything wrong, after all, Chen Tianlong wasn’t a kid anymore. He had his own thoughts and decisions.
She believed that in Chen Tianlong’s heart, she must be irreplaceable.
Chen Tianlong nodded, took out the piece of cloth from the box, and carefully spread it open. He was dumbfounded at once.
This was clearly a blood-written document!
At this moment, Bing Ruxue also saw it and hurried over. The two saw it at the same time.
"Xue’er, as a Snow Element inheritor, naturally has a Cold Ice Body and needs to break through the legendary Extreme Dao to restore a normal human body. Therefore, I leave below the Super Qi Gathering Pill recipe, hoping that one day we can gather these materials, mass-produce the elixir, and break through to the Extreme Dao early."
Seeing this, they both gasped. Someone had once hinted that Bing Ruxue was a Snow Element inheritor. She hadn’t believed it, but the method of restoration was breaking through to Extreme Dao. This... seemed more difficult than ascending to heaven.
Not to mention, if Bing Ruxue were now at Celestial Dao seven stars, breaking through to Extreme Dao might still be slightly possible. But now she’s only at Tunnel one star; breaking through to Extreme Dao would mean waiting until she’s eighty!
Seeing this, Bing Ruxue felt a chill.
"It’s alright, your body, I’ll find time to talk with Mengting. If she agrees, I’ll help draw out the Cold Poison every year." Chen Tianlong comforted.
"Thank you, Chen Tianlong." Bing Ruxue whispered, considering Wu Mengting was not far away.
Chen Tianlong smiled gently and continued to look down.
"Energy Stone, Qilin Pills, Centennial Carved Feathers, Spirit Beast Pig Skin, Dragon Scale, Snow Leopard Skin...."
Looking at those concentrated materials at the front, Chen Tianlong didn’t really want to see them. Damn, even Dragon Scales appeared. Where in this world is there a real dragon? There are plenty of dinosaurs, though!
"Chen Tianlong, it seems these things are... quite hard to obtain." Bing Ruxue also bitterly smiled.
"Yes."
Chen Tianlong was also frustrated, but looking further, several of the later materials seemed very common. It was the six at the beginning that gave him a headache.
"Centennial Carved Feathers? Chen Tianlong, how old is our Xiaogu?" Wu Mengting suddenly asked.
"Uh? Xiaogu...."
Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered, generally, eagles that grow so big are not young, and this is a cultivated big eagle. Could it be over a hundred years old?
