469: Fire
Lu Xingchen immediately sensed the danger, shook his head repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "What Peng Yu is thinking is not important, but I only view her as a friend who can be utilized; I absolutely do not have the slightest feeling of liking for her. You can tell this from what happened just now."
"No matter how she shows favor to me, I will turn a blind eye to it!"
Yun Li then retracted her hands and chuckled: "Consider yourself passed, kid. You really are heartless; for people you don't care about, you use and betray them at will. But fortunately, we are on the same side, and I am the beneficiary. Therefore, I totally approve of your behavior!"
Lu Xingchen chuckled: "The night is late, and I had a big battle today, I am already very tired, let's go to bed and rest quickly!"
Hearing this, Yun Li's pretty face flushed red.
This guy, he really thinks about taking advantage of her at every moment!
A Martial Venerable Expert wouldn't have their combat power affected even if they didn't sleep for ten days and nights, how could he be exhausted so quickly?
Yun Li lightly stepped on Lu Xingchen's foot, then flew towards her own room, and said softly: "Before we are officially married, don't even think about it!"
Lu Xingchen felt the pain, hopped once, then sighed lightly and walked towards another room.
He didn't plan to take down Yun Li all at once, he just wanted to attack her defensive line whenever he had the chance; over time, he would be able to break through one day.
Immediately, Lu Xingchen walked into his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out "Divine Movement of a Hundred Changes".
This scroll of Martial Skill had been in his Storage Ring for many days, but he never had the time to take it out.
Now that he finally had some private time, he could finally learn it!
Opening the scroll, Lu Xingchen extended his right hand to touch the title, and all the information of "Divine Movement of a Hundred Changes" surged into his head, as if he had been immersed in it for many years.
This was the power of the System, saving him a massive amount of time; just in an instant, "Divine Movement of a Hundred Changes" reached Major Achievement.
He then opened the attribute panel.
[host: Lu Xingchen]
[Realm: Five-Star Martial Venerable]
[Experience Points: 200 million / 600 million]
[Exchange Points: 800 million]
[Talents: Eagle Eye (50), Strong Strike (50), Berserk (50), Blade Edge (50), Jade Shatter (50), Devour (50), Army Breaker (50), Blade Breaker (50)]
[Profession: Eighth-Grade Alchemist (750 million / 1 billion), Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation Master (300 million / 1 billion)]
[Mount: Nether Dragon (Eighth Rank)]
A great battle was imminent, and the people of the Three Great Demon Clans and Luo Chen could attack at any time; in this final time, he wanted to sharpen his spear before the battle and use the System to improve his strength again.
Previously, when fighting Chu Huai, he killed more than a hundred Seventh Rank Yao Beasts of Chu Feng Valley, and his Exchange Points had accumulated to 800 million.
It was time to buy something in the System store!
Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the System store, Lu Xingchen fell into deep thought.
The prices of goods at the Martial Venerable level were all in the hundreds of millions, so 800 million Exchange Points wasn't much; he needed to consider carefully.
In terms of pills, he already had the phoenix nirvana pill, rejuvenation pill, and qi recovery pill.
In terms of Martial Skills, he already had "Divine Movement of a Hundred Changes" and "Chixiao Slash".
In terms of Spiritual Artifacts, he already had the immortal slaying sword.
Lu Xingchen pondered for a long time and finally selected a Martial Skill called "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique", which was ranked at heaven rank middle grade.
The effect of this "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" was very simple: it temporarily increased the Martial Artist's Realm. Its effect was better than the "Moon Gazing Art", and it was also more expensive.
It cost a full 500 million Exchange Points!
As the enemies became stronger, the "Moon Gazing Art" was already somewhat insufficient, and he had long wanted to replace it.
Now that the time had come, he would replace it.
500 million Exchange Points disappeared, and a scroll of the Martial Skill appeared in his Storage Ring.
Immediately, Lu Xingchen closed the System panel, took "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" out of his Storage Ring, and opened it.
All the information of "Nine Revolutions Profound Technique" also flooded into his mind.
After doing all this, Lu Xingchen lay on the bed and had a good sleep.
Although with the strength of a Venerable Realm expert, it would be no problem to go without sleep for ten days and nights, while his body was not lacking, his spirit was somewhat fatigued.
It was time to have a good rest.
At the same time, Queen Chiluan of the Serpent-human Clan, however, did not sleep all night.
She walked out of the Cultivation room and walked towards the Secret Chamber where the candle dragon flame was stored, opening the door to the Secret Chamber.
Qing Yi was guarding the door inside the Secret Chamber.
To prevent theft from happening again, Qing Yi personally guarded here.
Seeing Queen Chiluan enter, she hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Greetings, Queen!"
Queen Chiluan was slightly stunned.
"Qing Yi, what are you doing here?"
Immediately, Qing Yi told her what had just happened.
"Your Majesty, aren't you supposed to be in seclusion to impact the Saint Realm? Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"
Queen Chiluan said in a deep voice: "To impact the Saint Realm, I must rely on the power of the candle dragon flame."
Hearing this, Qing Yi was greatly shocked.
"So you have already cracked the secret of the legend that the candle dragon flame can help one become a Saint!"
Queen Chiluan waved her hand: "This is not something you should ask about, go out and wait! Unless the Three Great Demon Clans and Luo Chen are at the gates of the Yellow Springs Sand Sea, do not disturb me!"
"Understood!"
After saying that, Qing Yi bowed and retreated.
Queen Chiluan followed the iron chains to the high platform, bowed to the fire basin, and said softly: "Greetings, Senior Candle Dragon!"
The flame immediately became restless, and countless sparks surged to form a fiery red long dragon.
"Chiluan, when I first saw you, you were still a delicate little girl. So quickly, you have grown into a generation of Queen?"
That's right, this candle dragon flame had already developed intelligence.
He had seen the fight between Lu Xingchen and Dongfang Yuqing in the Secret Chamber before, but he just thought it was fun and did not speak to stop them.
In other words, even if Lu Xingchen really killed Dongfang Yuqing, he would still face resistance from the candle dragon flame.
And this candle dragon flame also possessed semi-Saint cultivation.
His attempt to steal would absolutely not succeed.
Queen Chiluan said in a deep voice: "Senior Candle Dragon, the Three Great Demon Clans have joined forces to invade. In order to protect the people of the Serpent-human Clan and repel the invading enemy, I must enter the Saint Realm. Please, Senior, help me!"
The Candle Dragon said in a deep voice: "Chiluan, have you thought it through? Bathing in fire does not necessarily mean Nirvana; it may also mean turning into ashes. I have guarded the Serpent-human Clan for over three hundred years, through ten Queens, and never has one succeeded."
Queen Chiluan nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I have decided. Please, Senior Candle Dragon, grant my wish!"
"Hahaha! Good, then I will grant your wish! If the Serpent-human Clan can really produce a Saint, my mission will be considered complete, and I can finally be liberated!"
After speaking, the candle dragon flame flew towards Queen Chiluan and invaded her body.
Queen Chiluan endured the pain of the raging fire burning her body and let out a groan, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
