Chapter 759 – Long Chen’s Alchemy Skills

Situ Yu’s failure brought everyone’s happy mood down to rock bottom once more. Situ Yu was in the most disbelief. He looked at the increasingly old Suyan in shock and incredulity. He yelled in confusion, “That’s impossible! Impossible! I used multiple precious herbs to refine the Spring Restoration Pill! How could it not work? That’s impossible!”

His voice grew louder and louder. In this place full of powerful masters, it was indeed inappropriate for a junior to be yelling like this. Everyone’s brows were furrowed while Bai Lan waved and said coldly, “Shut your mouth. Get out!”

Bai Lan was starting to get angry as he was seeing his daughter suffer.

He was the highest-ranked person in the Demon clan. The moment he lashed out, Situ Yu was startled awake and knew that he had acted too boldly. His grandfather shot him a look, and he quickly nodded and stepped back to the outer ring of the group. However, he did not leave but watched from a distance.

No one cared about what happened to Situ Yu; the main concern was whether Suyan would live. They felt helpless seeing her face grow older.

“I’m going to call Long Chen!” Suxue said anxiously. Even though Long Chen was trying to break into the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, she had no choice but to call him out here. Although she did not quite believe that he would succeed, it was better than letting Suyan wait for death here.

“Big Brother ...” At this point, Suyan was starting to lose consciousness. Her face was old and withered, and she looked so old that they thought she would die soon.

Everyone looked at Bai Lan to see what he would decide. This was his daughter, and he was in control of her life now. Bai Lan finally made the decision to wake Long Chen up, even though he was at a critical moment in his breakthrough.

“Xue’er, go get him!”

The moment Bai Lan spoke, a flash of joy suddenly appeared on his face. Indeed, there was a huge commotion coming from the small, wooden house. A huge amount of essence surged towards Long Chen’s quarters for about ten breaths. Then the wooden door blasted open and Long Chen appeared. He instantly rushed to Suyan.

“Sorry I’m late.” Long Chen had indeed been focused on his breakthrough, but in reality, even he did not know it would take this long. When he succeeded, he sensed all the people gathered outside.

He knew that this was the tenth day, of course, and also the day that Suyan’s aging symptoms would begin. That was why he was so anxious and even looked regretful. If he had known, he would not have been so anxious to reach the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage. Suyan was a good child. If he had been late and caused her to die, he would have blamed himself for a long time.

Of course, even if he did not blame himself, others would never forgive him. Bai Lan had left Suyan to him because he trusted him. Long Chen knew that he could not let him down.

“Where’s your pill? Take it out,” roared Suxue, looking like she could not wait to kill Long Chen.

Everyone looked at him, curious about what pill he would take out.

Outside the crowd, Situ Yu watched Long Chen with venom in his eyes. He realized he was just like a clown to them. After joking around for a while, he was reprimanded and chased out. He had invested ten days of painstaking effort, yet Bai Lan still cared more about Long Chen. This made Situ Yu, who had always received utmost attention, burn with the flames of fury!

Long Chen felt great pressure since everyone was watching. He did not dare act recklessly, so he said to Bai Lan, “Clan Leader Bai, give Yan’er to me. I will return a healthy daughter back to you in fifteen minutes.”

“Just take the pill out now,” said Suxue, unsure of what Long Chen was doing. No one knew why he was stalling. If he was an alchemist, couldn’t he just take the pill out?

Long Chen and Bai Lan ignored them. Long Chen reached out and grabbed Suyan, then turned to enter his wooden house. Slam! He shut his door. Everyone looked at each other and started to discuss.

“What was that? How could he take Princess Yan’er inside?”

Even the eight sect elders did not know what he was doing. Situ Yao looked at Bai Lan and said in a low voice, “Clan Leader, how could you hand Princess Yan’er over to an outsider like that? She’s in a critical condition now. How could we let a kid of unknown origin do whatever he wants to her? If anything happens to Yan’er ...”

“Yeah, Clan Leader. Why do you trust that kid so much?”

Everyone started to argue. Suxue cried anxiously, “Father, he took Yan’er inside. What if ... What if something happens ... She wouldn’t even be able to see us for the last time ...”

As she spoke, tears flowed from her eyes and she started to choke.

Outside the crowd, Situ Yu chuckled coldly. “That uneducated, talentless bastard. Let’s see how he’ll talk his way out of this when Yan’er dies!”

While everyone argued, Lei Ji, who was next to Bai Lan, huffed and cried, “Enough with this discussion! You are all the highest-ranked people of the Demon clan! Is this how you should be acting? Brother Bai has a reason for making this decision. As his subordinates, you only need to watch. Don’t start spouting nonsense!”

Bai Lan could not be bothered to talk to them, but Lei Ji was irritated, so he reprimanded them. In reality, Lei Ji and Bai Lan had been good friends since young and supported each other for many years. They were true brothers, and they had a solid bond. Bai Lan had always made it known that within the Demon clan, Lei Ji’s words carried the same weight as his own. That was why no one dared to make an indignant expression when he reprimanded them.

After Lei Ji spoke, everyone was silent.

Everyone looked at the room Long Chen had entered. They were powerful masters, so they could sense that Suyan’s aura had not disappeared. In fact, it even showed signs of strengthening. When they sensed this, they could hardly believe it.

Had Long Chen succeeded?

How was that possible?

The only alchemist of the Demon clan had spent ten days and exhausted countless precious herbs creating one Spring Restoration Pill, while Long Chen had been doing nothing but cultivating. Had he prepared the pill a long time ago, and was only letting her consume it now?

There was now an additional halo of mystery around him.

Bai Lan was the first to show a carefree smile. He met Lei Ji’s eyes, and they understood each other’s thoughts. From today onwards, Bai Lan would take Long Chen even more seriously. At the very least, Long Chen was now Suyan’s savior, and she would need to be saved nine more times in the next ninety days. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Long Chen live comfortably in Heavenly Wood City.

After a while, as everyone expected, the wooden door was gently opened. Suyan, who was now back to being a young girl, skipped happily out of the room and came up to Bai Lan and the others. The overwhelmed Suxue and the smiling Bai Lan hugged her together.

Everyone also watched Long Chen walk out. He had finally saved Suxue. Long Chen sighed in relief. His task was successfully completed.

They all studied Suyan in shock and found that she had completely recovered. Not only had her life force not weakened, it was even stronger. Usually, women had weaker Qi than men. However, after Long Chen fed her dragon blood, her Qi grew stronger and her life force became more exuberant.

Long Chen’s Qi was more powerful than that of large King-tier demonic beasts. As he merged with more of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s blood, his Qi’s quality would increase until he became a true Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon.

Seeing that Suyan was fine, everyone turned to Long Chen. The mysterious teenager had impressed them. It was true that Bai Lan trusted Long Chen so much for a reason. Everything was said through his actions, and he had proved himself.

Everyone other than Situ Yao had tossed Situ Yu to the backs of their minds. He was nothing but a joke compared to Long Chen. Beyond the crowd, Situ Yu stared at the energetically skipping Suyan in a daze. He shook his head hard and looked again. Suyan was still healed.

Long Chen was the one who had helped her recover.

Situ Yu was very confident in his alchemy skills, but despite working hard for ten days, he had lost. He wanted to perform well for Suxue so that she would fall for him, but Suxue was gazing at Long Chen with gratitude and even admiration in her eyes right now. Amidst her overwhelming emotions, crystal-like tears pooled in her eyes.

Everything that should have belonged to Situ Yu had gone to Long Chen.

With that thought, Situ Yu was filled with anger. He realized that if he stayed here, he would only become the butt of the joke. He stormed off, but before that, he glared at Long Chen again and said with a sneer, “You humiliated me today, but you just watch. In this world where only the strongest people win, what’s the use of good alchemy skills when you don’t have strength?”

Then he left.

Bai Lan smiled and looked at his obedient daughter for a long time, then he finally waved at everyone and said, “Yan’er is fine now. Thank you, everyone, for your concern today. You may all return. Let us have some father-daughter alone-time.”
