92: I have to drag you two old geezers down with me!

Amidst Qi Longhu's furious roar, the floor beneath Chen Heng's feet exploded with a bang.

Qi Longhu pushed Chen Heng for over ten meters, creating two deep grooves in the ground.

Chen Heng's two feet were still planted firmly in the ground, unmoving, as he watched Qi Longhu's frantic attacks with his arms crossed.

Qi Longhu's fists spun like a whirlwind, continuously pounding Chen Heng's body.

Unfortunately, no matter how much force Qi Longhu used, he couldn't break the golden patterns on Chen Heng's body.

"Damn it, what kind of demonic martial art are you practicing, kid? How are you so hard?"

A wisp of white steam floated from the top of Qi Longhu's head as he looked at Chen Heng, somewhat questioning his life.

This situation isn't right. I'm already Acquired, so how can I not break through a youngster who just entered the Profound Realm a few days ago?

"Big Brother Qi, have you used your full strength?"

Chen Heng frowned, looking at the panting Qi Longhu.

"..."

Qi Longhu almost choked on a mouthful of Old Qi and passed out.

"Come! Continue!"

Clang, clang, clang!

Their battle lasted for a full half-hour, finally ending with Qi Longhu's exhaustion.

No, this shouldn't be called a battle, but rather Qi Longhu's one-sided assault.

Chen Heng just stood there, watching Qi Longhu attack him with all sorts of weapons.

The golden patterns glowed, and Chen Heng remained unyielding.

"It seems that even an Acquired Martial Artist can't break my Indestructible Golden Body."

Chen Heng shook his head, somewhat disappointed, and put on his long robe.

"Next time I get a chance, I'll try with the gang leader and see if a Xiantian Martial Artist can move me."

"Otherwise, not knowing my limits is a problem."

"I'm almost getting arrogant..."

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the gang members, Chen Heng got into his carriage and returned to the Chen Family Courtyard.

As for Qi Longhu, he was lying in the dilapidated Martial Arts Training Hall, staring at the ceiling.

"Damn it, I'll definitely not spar with that kid next time."

"This is too embarrassing..."

---

In the carriage, Chen Heng began to plan his search for ghost nether grass and blood nether branch.

He, of course, knew about the Netherworld Domain, located deep within the Demonic Blood Ice Plains in the northernmost part of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Actually, the Great Liang Kingdom's situation was quite awful.

The north and east were plagued by demons year-round, and the vast majority of Great Liang Kingdom's military forces were stationed in these two areas.

To the south was the Chengtian Empire, which would occasionally provoke the Great Liang Kingdom's Southern Army for no reason.

They were still locked in fierce combat.

To the west was the Jade Fan Kingdom, which was also the direction Qiyang City was located in.

The Jade Fan Kingdom was a nation of merchants, not engaging in war but only business, so the western side of the Great Liang Kingdom was relatively peaceful.

However, besides having many merchants, that damned country also had the most cults and evil cultivators.

Every other day, a few evil cultists or evil cultivators would emerge from there to cause trouble.

Thinking about it this way, the Great Liang Kingdom could be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

It was truly impressive that it had managed to persist until today.

"A trip to the Netherworld Domain would take at least two months; there isn't enough time."

The Ghost Corpse Temple was coming soon, and he certainly wouldn't go out at this time.

Once he left, even if others weren't considered, the safety of his own family had to be taken into account.

"Never mind, it's not too late to go after things are settled."

Anyway, he could only take one hundred refined crimson blood pill a week, and the remaining five would last him for over a month.

Suddenly, Chen Heng remembered that place he had always wanted to see but never had the time for.

The ghost gate at the bottom of the well.

Those two little ghosts had emerged from there, so there must be something else entirely!

With that thought, Chen Heng didn't go home but directly instructed the coachman, Old Liu, to drive towards Shigou Village... In the Azure Dragon Hall, Xu Lieying glared at the chattering Qi Longhu with a dark, aged face.

"Oh, you wouldn't know, it's just so comfortable to Breakthrough to Acquired."

"The whole person feels several years younger."

"Look, Old Man, my hair has gotten much darker."

Qi Longhu, who had suffered a great loss at Chen Heng's hands, couldn't find an outlet for his frustration, so he could only come to his two old buddies.

Xu Lieying and Wu Tianba were in similar situations, both just a step away from reaching the Acquired Realm.

Originally, all three had made the same progress, so no one could laugh at anyone else.

But who would have thought that Old Man Qi would Breakthrough before them?

This made the two of them exceptionally uncomfortable.

Coupled with the old dog's extremely annoying face, if they couldn't beat him, the two would have already started fighting.

"You two aren't good enough either, look, look."

Qi Longhu rolled up his sleeves and did a bicep flex.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how can you two, who are still in the Profound Realm, still have the nerve to be Hall Masters?"

"Even Chen Heng, who is under me, has reached the Profound Realm; you two are still no good."

"Hmph! Old Man Qi, you are going too far!"

Xu Lieying, who also had a fiery temper, couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and pointed at Qi Longhu, roaring in anger.

His finger trembled with rage.

"Isn't it just because you were lucky enough to pick up a treasure? Otherwise, what right do you have to show off here?"

"Old Man, when I Breakthrough to Acquired, I'm definitely going to beat you up!"

"Count me in, I want to beat him up too..." Wu Tianba, who had been as silent as a gourd, couldn't help but say.

"Old Qi, let's not talk about that for now. How did you suddenly Breakthrough?"

Wu Tianba asked the question he was most concerned about.

The strength and cultivation of the three of them were all at the same level.

Logically, Qi Longhu shouldn't have been the first to reach Acquired, right?

"This is something you two wouldn't understand."

Finally finding someone to show off to, Qi Longhu naturally wouldn't finish showing off all at once.

"This is a matter of discerning vision."

"That kid Chen Heng somehow got a qi and blood decoction."

"It can actually directly increase one year's worth of cultivation, and his Qi and blood also increased significantly."

"I also Breakthrough to Acquired thanks to him."

Qi Longhu sat with his legs crossed, sipping tea from his cup.

"Heh, it's still relying on others." Xu Lieying sneered, looking disdainful of associating with him.

But the curiosity and longing in his eyes couldn't be faked.

Qi Longhu was quite sharp-eyed and naturally saw it.

"Old Qi, we've been brothers for so many years, help us two get a dose too."

Wu Tianba had much thicker skin, truly worthy of someone who practiced hard martial arts.

Both of them were also just a step away from the Breakthrough, so if they could get this kind of decoction, they would definitely want to try it.

"Do you think my decoction came for free?"

Qi Longhu rolled his eyes at Wu Tianba.

"Think with your walnut-sized brain, how precious is a decoction that can directly increase cultivation?"

"If it weren't for that kid Chen Heng's special respect for me, he wouldn't have brought out such a good thing."

Wu Tianba and Xu Lieying exchanged glances and began to whisper.

Qi Longhu glanced at the two and continued to drink his tea.

This old fellow owed Chen Heng a huge favor that was difficult to repay, so he planned to drag Xu Lieying and Wu Tianba into it together.

This way, he wouldn't be the only one owing a favor, and it would sound better when spoken of.

'Little Brother Chen, these two old fellows have quite a few good treasures; how much you can get depends on your own ability ~'

Qi Longhu thought this as he drank his tea.
