Chapter 149: Heaven-Grade Spirit Medicine

Time flew, and half a month passed. During this half month, all the geniuses were actively preparing for battle, getting ready for the upcoming fight.

Only Long Xuan didn't step out of his room, sleeping soundly on the bed all day, looking lazy.

In reality, his consciousness had been immersed in the illusion space, studying the fist techniques in the Library Tower of the Western Lands Long Clan tirelessly, stealing all the top-tier fist techniques as quickly as possible.

Don't look at this half month as a short time, but Long Xuan benefited a lot. Through the knowledge learned from the Library Tower, his inspiration burst forth, and he soon successfully researched the "Collapse Fist."

Of course, his current Collapse Fist could only be used, and the progress was only a little over 30%. It was still far from full progress.

However, today he was not allowed to continue livering the progress, because the arena tournament with the Bai Clan started today.

Long Xuan could only end his closed-door state, run out from the Original Realm, wash up simply, push the door open, and go to join the others.

The twelve candidates participating in this arena tournament had all been selected: six from the Far West Long Clan and six from the Western Lands Long Clan.

He had already met Long Ruoxue and Long Dan, but the other four were new faces he hadn't seen before.

As soon as Long Xuan arrived, he asked, "Why haven't I seen Long Biao?"

Long Ruoxue said with an unnatural expression, "I heard that he accidentally stepped on an ant pet raised by the Family Head. The Family Head was furious, hung him up and beat him, and then locked him in solitary confinement."

Hearing this, Long Xuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. Stepping on an ant, and someone actually raised ants as pets? Unheard of. Are you sure this thing can be a pet?

"He definitely has to go down. You, Long Bao, Long Yan, all three of you are in the mid-stage of Essence Refining."

"And there are only three spots for the mid-stage of Essence Refining. If he doesn't go down, one of you will have to go down," Long Ruoxue explained in a low voice again.

When she said this, Long Xuan understood in seconds.

The others also showed strange expressions.

"Doesn't that mean we squeezed out his spot? That's so embarrassing," Long Bao said.

"I think you're quite embarrassed!" Long Yan rolled his eyes at him and said.

"The fact that he can't go up only shows that his strength is not as good as yours. The Geng Metal mine vein is of great importance. How can the clan tolerate feelings? If you want to blame someone, blame him for being too weak!"

Long Dan looked at him at this time and said disdainfully.

"That's right. This kind of thing is not about who snatched whose spot. Everyone competes fairly and relies on their own ability. You don't need to blame yourself. Since everyone is here, let's go!"

The Family Head arrived with a large group of people, not intending to stop, and walked directly toward the entrance.

There were quite a lot of people accompanying them. It was estimated that most of them were going to watch the fun and cheer. Not only were most of the high-level members going, but many Long Clan Gu cultivators with low realms were also preparing to run over to watch.

Watching the fun was everyone's nature. Moreover, this matter was a major event concerning the clan's luck. Whether the Long family's future cultivation resources would become more depended entirely on today's competition. If they won, they could live a tycoon-like life from now on. Everyone was nervous, preparing to witness this great battle concerning the clan's luck with their own eyes.

A Long Clan was preparing to go with so many people, so the number of people from other clans preparing to watch the fun probably wouldn't be small either. There were countless Gu cultivator clans in Black Stone City.

With such a big event between the Long Clan and the Bai Clan, it was estimated that all Gu cultivator clans in the city would send people to watch the ceremony, including the ten clans of the Western Lands. It was estimated that the scene would be crowded with people.

The location of the martial arts competition between the two clans was in the Central Square in the center of the city. The ground there was flat and empty, covered with hard stone bricks. A temporary arena had already been built in the center of the venue.

At that time, the City Lord would personally come to preside over the order. The City Lord was the witness of this arena martial arts competition and could also be considered the referee. In front of the City Lord, whoever lost had to abide by the agreement.

After the group of people went out of the main gate, they marched toward the Central Square in a mighty force. The group of geniuses had low seniority and walked at the very back. Long Xuan walked at the very back of all the geniuses in a low-key manner, following behind Long Ziyan.

Every Long Clan Gu cultivator had a confident smile on their face, full of confidence in the upcoming arena tournament.

Playing dirty and hiring so many outside help, how could they not be confident? They were simply too confident.

Long Xuan was the most confident. Using the Ten Extremes Body to fight those of the same rank was simply too simple. It was so simple that he was a bit uninterested, and he was considering letting his clones participate in the competition as usual.

A clone was more than enough to clean up someone of the same rank. Fighting someone of the same rank didn't require his main body to take action personally.

Just as he was thinking this in his heart, his insect breeding bag suddenly moved at this moment.

A look of surprise appeared on Long Xuan's face. After leaving a clone in place, he walked toward the distance.

Although he was walking in the last and very inconspicuous position in the crowd, his actions were still discovered by Long Yuanshan.

"Is the one he left behind his main body or a clone?" Long Yuanshan turned his head and asked hesitantly.

"Uh! It should be the main body. He seems to have sent a clone out to do something," Long Qian said a bit uncertainly.

"Oh! I am the main body. The one who just went out is a clone. I entrusted him with something, and he will be back soon," the Flame Clone said.

After Long Xuan walked far away, in a corner where no one was around, he pulled a furry little thing out of the insect breeding bag.

This furry thing was naturally that Jade Rabbit Fairy. He was going on a long journey, and the clones couldn't be separated for too long. He had to bring all the clones with him.

Without the clones watching, he was really afraid that this rabbit would pull out all his spirit medicines to refine pills. He had deep doubts about this rabbit's rabbit-character.

To be safe, he also brought this Jade Rabbit Fairy along.

"Did you really sense the aura of a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine?"

Long Xuan asked in a low voice, excited, his heartbeat accelerating a bit.

The reason he left the crowd just now was because this rabbit said it sensed the aura of a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine.

This rabbit itself was a spirit medicine, so it wouldn't be surprising that it could sense the aura of a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine.

Upon hearing that there was a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine nearby, Long Xuan's spirit was suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly left the crowd and ran out.

The rabbit nodded hurriedly, its rabbit eyes revealing a look of excitement. Heaven-Grade spirit medicine was a top-notch material for refining pills. As someone who loved refining pills, it would naturally be excited. Its desire for Heaven-Grade spirit medicine was even greater than Long Xuan's.

It hurriedly pointed forward and made a 'zhi zhi' sound, the sound very urgent.

Long Xuan didn't doubt it and, following the rabbit's guidance, quickly chased forward.

At the same time, he opened the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, frantically searching for the figure of that Heaven-Grade spirit medicine.

Under the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, as long as there was a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine nearby, it was absolutely impossible to escape his eyes.

However, he was soon disappointed. He scanned all the places ahead, but he didn't find the figure of that Heaven-Grade spirit medicine.

The progress of Heaven-Grade spirit medicine was ∞. This symbol was too eye-catching. As long as it appeared, he could see it at a glance.

And he had searched a circle and found nothing.

Then there could only be one explanation: this Heaven-Grade spirit medicine was probably not placed in a room, but was carried by someone.

And this person had put the Heaven-Grade spirit medicine into a storage bag. It was normal that he couldn't see the progress of the Heaven-Grade spirit medicine.

However, the Heaven-Grade spirit medicine was already hidden in a storage bag, and this rabbit could actually still sense its aura. This rabbit's perception of spirit medicine was very keen.

Since he couldn't find it himself, then this matter could only be entrusted to the rabbit. It had a keen perception of spirit medicine and was absolutely a master at finding spirit medicine.

The rabbit didn't let him down either. After quickly scanning the crowd, it finally pointed to a figure wearing a black mask in the distance.

Long Xuan was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at the person it pointed to.

The rabbit kept urging him, urging him to hurry up and snatch that Heaven-Grade spirit medicine.

However, when Long Xuan looked at that person, his expression suddenly stiffened, and his smile froze completely on his face.

Good fellow, this person was actually at the peak of the Gu King realm. This rabbit actually wanted him to rob a Gu King peak powerhouse. Wasn't this looking for death?

Long Xuan's face turned black.

"That is a Gu King peak powerhouse. You actually want me to rob a Gu King. Are you trying to pit me to death and then quickly find the next master?"

Long Xuan gave it a heavy flick on the head.

The rabbit felt pain, covered its head, and made a 'jiu!' sound.

He looked at that Gu King again and found that he was actually walking toward the Qian Clan Auction House next to him.

Seeing this scene, Long Xuan frowned.

Soon, something shocking happened to him. That Gu King didn't avoid people at all, and in front of everyone, he took a strange tree that looked like a human out of his storage bag and placed it generously in front of the manager.

As soon as this object appeared, the auction house was in chaos, and a burst of exclamations sounded.

"It's Living Wood!"

Not only did the manager exclaim this term, but Long Xuan also thought of this term at the same time.

The Flame Clone had once seen this spirit medicine in an atlas. Because of its strange appearance, resembling a human, he still had a deep impression of it to this day.

Heaven-Grade spirit medicine was extremely rare, and few people knew its function. But Living Wood, even if you didn't know how to use it, just eating the tree bark could increase your lifespan by 500 years.

Who could resist the temptation of increasing their lifespan by 500 years? Even a Gu King couldn't remain calm in front of such a thing.

This object was enough to attract the greed of all Gu Kings, and it was enough to attract a large number of Gu Kings to fight for it. Even a Gu King melee breaking out for this object was a normal thing.

Once this thing appeared at the auction, no need to think, Black Stone City would definitely be full of Gu Kings next. Almost all the Gu Kings in the surrounding area would gather here.

With so many powerhouses crowded in one place, I don't know what kind of disaster it would cause.

Black Stone City is probably going to change!

Long Xuan's pupils shrank, and his nose suddenly smelled a taste of conspiracy.

This person took out the Heaven-Grade spirit medicine Living Wood in public, not avoiding people at all, acting so high-profile, but on his face, he had to keep a low profile by wearing a black mask.

Acting so contradictory, if there was nothing fishy here, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.

Clearly, this person did this to spread the news of Living Wood as quickly as possible, while he himself hid his head and showed his tail, not showing his true face. What exactly did he want to do?

What did he want to do by using Living Wood to gather a large number of Gu Kings in Black Stone City?

Long Xuan narrowed his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was a conspiracy, and a big conspiracy at that.

Normal people wouldn't take Living Wood to an auction to be auctioned at all. Eating a piece of bark from Living Wood could increase lifespan by 500 years. This level of heaven-defying heavy treasure was not cost-effective no matter how many spirit stones it was sold for at the auction.

Spirit stones in this world could only be used to buy cheap things, not expensive things. Expensive things could only be obtained through barter. In this case, even if you exchanged for more spirit stones, what was the use?

Don't tell him that this Gu King peak powerhouse was short of spirit stones. A Gu King peak powerhouse was already the strongest powerhouse here. How could he be short of spirit stones?

If it were him, even if there was a reason why he had to auction Living Wood, he would only sell the bark, not the whole tree.

The pricing of a priceless treasure didn't lie in how much money it was worth, but in how much money the buyers had.

Buyers would empty their family fortunes to buy Living Wood, and they would also empty their family fortunes to buy the bark. Whether the auction sold the bark or the Living Wood, the transaction price was about the same.

If it were him, he would definitely peel off the bark, divide it into countless pieces, put them in different auction houses to be auctioned, and then raise the Living Wood in a medicine garden, letting the bark regenerate infinitely, creating wealth for him continuously.

Only in this way could profit maximization be achieved.

Selling the whole Living Wood was simply killing the goose that laid the golden eggs, destroying the golden mountain himself.

He didn't think that someone who could grow to a Gu King would be a fool. He used a heavy treasure to attract so many Gu Kings here, and he definitely didn't have good intentions.

Next, Black Stone City would definitely have undercurrents surging. He had to be more careful.

Long Xuan took a deep look at that person, and then, ignoring the anxious rabbit, left quickly.

Just kidding, this thing was no longer something he could easily obtain. This thing was already being eyed by countless Gu Kings. He was crazy to dare to snatch food from the mouths of so many tigers.
