Chapter 452

On Longshe Shan.

A special guest arrived, wearing Black Dragon Guard attire, hidden in the darkness.

This person had arrived two days ago, but she couldn't find the entrance and thus couldn't enter Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang had known all along, he just didn't bother with her; he was replenishing pills, and the batch in his hand was consumed quickly, he had traded several batches, Third Uncle took one batch to go sell, and the Chen Clan side also took a batch, sending over some resources.

On the Shang Clan side, Shang Yingnian came to the door to trade; at a friend's price he obtained a batch of pills, his father-in-law was not stingy, he was generous and directly gave many spiritual herbs; those spiritual herbs were the Shang Clan's treasures, better to hand them to Chen Chuyang to turn into pills and boost the Shang Clan's strength.

The Shang Clan's settlement in Baihu Cheng became a settled matter, already preliminarily stable; the reconstruction work in Baihu Cheng was basically done, cultivators acting made it fast, the Shang Clan mobilized all personnel to increase speed, solely to occupy Baihu Cheng sooner and thus control its resources.

Moreover, those people on the mountain, even their pets need pills, not a small amount; Chen Chuyang naturally needed to refine a batch, mostly low-grade pills, refining many would naturally make him... proficient, thereby speeding up refining speed, no longer needing to take a day or two as before, continually shortening the time, the advantage of the Giant Dragon Alchemy Furnace shows.

Third-grade pills are a bit slower, fourth-grade pills even slower; Chen Chuyang isn't in a hurry, he'll first refine first- and second-grade pills, then later find time to refine high-grade pills; the spiritual herbs needed are also stocked in plenty, by developing several more channels, the resources on hand quickly increase.

For now, Chen Chuyang can relax a bit.

At night, Chen Chuyang appeared before the person before him; Bai He jumped in fright, quickly drew her weapon, ready to attack.

Her movements were swift, her methods ruthless; at a glance one could tell she was a seasoned fighter.

"Don't rush, don't act recklessly, you'll die."

Chen Chuyang pressed his right hand on her shoulder; the immense force kept Bai He rooted in place, not daring to act rashly.

She didn't know when Chen Chuyang had appeared behind her, and she also knew that in his eyes she was no different from an ant.

Bai He calmed down and said directly: "Senior, are you the mountain lord of Longshe Shan, Lord Chen Chuyang?"

"Oh?" Chen Chuyang raised an eyebrow, gazing at this person.

His eyes perceived the aura within her body, a familiar aura, similar to that of Jing Yuheng.

Her identity was about to be revealed.

"Are you a member of the Black Dragon Guard?"

Bai He's body stiffened, she nodded slightly: "I am Bai He, subordinate of Commander Jing Yuheng; I came this time to deliver a letter to you, Lord."

Speaking, she wanted to take out the envelope.

Chen Chuyang stared at her; Bai He carefully took it out, daring not to make any big movement.

The envelope was taken out, raised above her head.

Bai He felt everything; the envelope in her hand vanished, and the person behind her disappeared.

She lifted her head; Chen Chuyang was standing before her at some point, having returned to his original position.

The envelope was opened; Chen Chuyang glanced at it and smiled.

"I see, you are... a person of Jing Yuheng."

"If Jing Yuheng had sent you, he should have said so earlier; I almost misunderstood."

Chen Chuyang found it somewhat amusing, looking at Bai He before him; her strength was not bad, her hidden abilities were very strong; if not for Chen Chuyang's keen perception, he might have been deceived by her.

Bai He dared not be negligent, took out the prepared item and handed it to Chen Chuyang.

"Senior, this is the gift the Commander asked me to give you."

Chen Chuyang reached out; a storage bag appeared in his hand; upon opening it, he saw many things inside.

The amount of resources was the most Chen Chuyang had ever seen.

None.

Even Chen Chuyang was startled by Jing Yuheng's grand gesture.

But this is also what she ought to give.

Having put them away, the things now in his hand are naturally his, and he won't give them back.

"Alright, you may go."

Bai He gritted her teeth and said: "Senior, the Commander also said these are only part of the reward; after the task is completed, the reward will be tenfold."

Chen Chuyang's turning body froze for a moment, then he slowly turned around, revealing a smile.

"You're Bai He, right? Since you're a person of Jing Yuheng, that makes you my person."

"Did Jing Yuheng say how many treasures there are?"

Bai He shook her head: "The Commander didn't say, but the Eldest Princess specially instructed before sending her subordinates:"

Bai He glanced at Chen Chuyang; his every move had been guessed by the Eldest Princess.

This person indeed... would not be fooled by a small gift.

To get him to go to Wangdu to help, one must bleed heavily.

"What words?" Chen Chuyang asked curiously.

Bai He answered truthfully: "When the time comes, Senior, you can take whatever you fancy directly."

"Oh?"

This is no bluff; the treasury of the Great Qi Dynasty is full of treasures.

Accumulated over several hundred years, it's easy to imagine.

Chen Chuyang's heart stirred; if he made a trip, he could obtain more resources, and his future cultivation and research would need no worry, the resources he needs for cultivation would also need no worry.

At least for the next thirty years, he won't have to worry about resources.

Thinking this, Chen Chuyang acknowledged that the Eldest Princess had successfully grasped his lifeline.

Speaking frankly, he has never gone to the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty.

It's also time to make a trip.

"In the treasury of the Great Qi Dynasty, whatever the senior fancies, he can take three pieces."

"Three pieces?"

"Yes."

"All treasures?"

"That's right."

"The white crane nodded."

"In their question-and-answer exchange, everything she answered was what the Eldest Princess had ordered."

"For that position, the Eldest Princess really gave it her all."

"Chen Chuyang frowned; three treasures—that's no small number."

"Let him pick as he likes; if…"

"Having thought this through, Chen Chuyang nodded: 'Alright, I'll go to Wangdu.'"

"The Black Dragon Guard awaits your esteemed arrival in Wangdu."

"Hmm."

"Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction; this white crane's strength is not bad, though its mental fortitude is a little lacking."

"Just like that, they were frightened; watching her retreating back, they staggered, almost falling, and Chen Chuyang shook their head."

"Jing Yuheng, Jing Yuheng, you really… figured me out."

"And the Eldest Princess, it seems, for that position you too have gone all out."

"Chen Chuyang looked toward the direction of Wangdu; the Great Qi Dynasty's royal court was in turmoil, and many eyes were fixed on that position."

"It will surely stir up a bloody storm; the Eldest Princess wants to take that position, and the opposition is no small matter."

"They invited him to go and hold the fort, not necessarily to take action."

"Just hearing that is enough; at a critical moment, action is still needed."

"Perfect, we can go meet the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King, and by the way check if that Tianwai demon beast is also there, and deal with them together."

"Oh, and there's that plague demon beast; its havoc is too great—if we don't kill it, our hearts won't be at ease."
