Supreme Dragon Lord

Seeing the shock on Lei Yujing’s and Lei Zhen’s faces, Lei Shishi laughed. "What? You don’t believe me?"

"Are you sure?" Lei Man asked Lei Shishi. "This is no small matter."

"Of course. How could I lie to you about something like this?" Lei Shishi continued. "I saw the opportunity he encountered in the Thunder Pool with my own eyes. Speaking of which, that man is a true Evil Creature. Not only did he forge the Thunderbolt Cave Heaven in the Thunder Pool, but his Realm also broke through. I came over to see the Great Elder, and since I also heard Father had come out of seclusion, I was just about to share this news with him. I never expected such a coincidence. The person she’s looking for is right in front of us!"

Lei Man smiled. "This is perfect. It will save us a lot of trouble." After pondering for a moment, she looked at Lei Yujing and Lei Shishi. "For the time being, let’s not tell Chu Lingjun that Long Chen is here. Right now, the most important thing is for her to focus on completely overcoming the final hurdle of the Holy Thunder Technique."

"Understood." Lei Yujing and Lei Shishi nodded simultaneously.

Lei Man added, "Since that Long Chen is so talented, you two should oversee his cultivation carefully in the coming days. If our Jinglei Sect can produce two peerless Heaven’s Chosen, then our rise will be just around the corner!"

At this, Lei Man’s eyes blazed with fervor. Lei Shishi and Lei Yujing’s eyes also lit up.

"I’ll have to trouble you to pay close attention to the matters that follow," Lei Man said. "I need to enter Shenmo Mountain now and keep an eye on Chu Lingjun."

After saying this, she turned and left.

「In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.」

During these two days, the most discussed topic was that Lei Man had brought a young woman back to the sect. They were all curious about this woman’s identity. She was receiving so much attention from the clan that she was allowed to cultivate directly within Shenmo Mountain. This was something all of them dreamed of! As disciples of the Jinglei Sect, they’d never had the opportunity to cultivate there, yet now some unknown woman had been allowed in? For a while, discussion on the topic spread like wildfire throughout the entire Jinglei Sect.

As Long Chen’s strength increased, he had condensed five drops of Dragon Blood and was continuing to cultivate the Coiling Dragon Seal. He wanted to refine the Coiling Dragon Seal to the Fifth Stage, but he was still missing something and failed to break through this time.

When Long Chen emerged, he saw Long Xin waiting in the living room. He smiled faintly. This girl is truly always by my side, no matter what.

"Big Brother, you’re finally out!" Long Xin said with a smile, standing up and rushing over to Long Chen to hug him tightly. She clung to him like a koala.

"You’re going to strangle me," Long Chen said, patting her back lightly. "Aren’t you going to get down?"

"No way!" she pouted. "I don’t want to get down! I want to hang onto my big brother for a lifetime!"

Before Long Chen could reply, Tang Le happened to walk in from outside.

"Whoa!" Tang Le exclaimed upon seeing the scene, immediately turning to leave. "Avert your eyes!"

Long Chen felt helpless and called out, "Where are you going?"

"If I don’t leave, won’t I be disturbing your intimate moment?" Tang Le grimaced. "I don’t want to be a third wheel."

"What intimate moment? Is your mind in the gutter?" Long Chen shook his head. "It was just a hug. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Hearing this, Tang Le chuckled. "You never know. Even the most passionate blaze starts from a single spark... or a hug."

"..."

Long Chen was rendered completely speechless and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Tang Le. He glanced at Long Xin and said, "Alright, it’s about time you got down, isn’t it?"

"Okay then." Long Xin blinked and slowly unwrapped her arms, jumping off him.

Seeing this, Tang Le finally turned around and plopped down in a chair.

"Brother Long, while you’ve been cultivating these past few days, a certain topic has been making the rounds in the sect," Tang Le chuckled, looking at Long Chen. "Want to hear some gossip?"

"Stop playing games and just spit it out," Long Chen said directly.

"Sigh, you’re no fun." Tang Le shook his head and then reported honestly, "A couple of days ago, the sect’s Great Elder returned with a young woman. I heard the Sect Master and the Great Elder took her into Shenmo Mountain to cultivate. At this rate, she’ll likely become a key disciple that the Jinglei Sect will focus on nurturing."

"So what?" Long Xin said coolly. "Big Brother’s talent is just as astonishing. When the time comes, the Jinglei Sect will learn who the most worthy disciple to nurture truly is. My big brother will definitely earn his place!"

Long Chen just shook his head and smiled, speechless. He had thought it was something important, but it was just idle gossip.

"I’m not interested in whether the sect focuses on nurturing me or not," he said flatly. "What I’m interested in is finding the fragments of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique! Brother Tang, have you found any useful or concrete information about them?"

"I’ve asked everyone I can about the Guiyuan Treasure Technique you’re looking for, but there’s not a single clue," Tang Le said, shaking his head. "I’m seriously starting to doubt that the Guiyuan Treasure Technique you’re looking for is even in the Jinglei Sect at all."

Long Xin also shook her head. "I haven’t heard anything about it either. Furthermore, regarding the Guiyuan Treasure Technique fragment we took from the auction house owner, we still haven’t been able to find out who he got it from."

Hearing this, Long Chen’s brow furrowed. This is strange... Where in the world could the fragments of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique be?!

Tang Le frowned. "You don’t think that guy lied to us on purpose, do you?"

"That’s unlikely." Long Chen dismissed the idea. "Under the circumstances, what he said had to be the truth."

"Fine, then let’s keep looking," Tang Le said earnestly. "Brother Long, rest assured. I’ll do my best to help you find the fragments of the Guiyuan Treasure Technique."

Long Chen nodded. "Thanks, Brother Tang!"

Tang Le waved his hand. "It’s nothing. If you act like that, you’re treating me like an outsider. It proves you don’t see me as one of your own."

Long Chen smiled. "Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you then." Then, he suggested, "We’ve been here for so long, why don’t we go out for a walk?"

"That would be great!" Long Xin chimed in. "I’ve been cooped up here for so long, I’m going stir-crazy."

"Hm?" Long Chen gave Long Xin a surprised look.

"Brother Long, you probably don’t know," Tang Le said. "Long Xin has been sitting here for as long as you’ve been cultivating. I tried to get her to go out for a walk, but she wouldn’t budge. She just sat here waiting for you."

At this, Tang Le couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. "I’m really envious of you. You have a great girl like Long Xin with you... When will I ever meet someone like that?"
