Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Old Long smiled with relief.
He built Longmen Inn himself and regarded it as his home.
If the Dragon Lord's identity as the Dragon Emperor is his responsibility and mission, then the identity of the owner of the Dragon Gate Inn is what he likes most.
He hoped to see the word "Longmen" resound throughout the ancient martial arts world, and even... become famous throughout the world!
There are many Longmen nowadays, such as the Longmen in the underground world, the Longmen Group, and the Longmen in the ancient martial arts world.
When Xiao Chen was forming the underground force, Huang Xing and his friends asked him to come up with a name... He thought of "Longmen Inn" and the word "Longmen".
Xiao Chen liked these two words very much, because he felt that the word "Longmen" represented hope.
Since ancient times, there has been a legend of "the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate". After leaping over, it turns into a dragon and roars into the sky!
So... so many 'Dragon Gates' appeared one after another.
Besides the fact that he likes it, another important reason is... he is lazy.
Xiao Chen was too lazy to think of a name, and thought that "Longmen" was a good name, so he decided to use "Longmen". There would be no confusion anyway.
When the underground world mentions "Longmen", it is naturally Longmen of Longhai, one of the three gangs.
The 'Dragon Gate' of the ancient martial arts world is the 'Dragon Gate' on Dragon Island.
As for Longmen Group, it is easier to explain. After all... it has the word "Group" in its name, so it is obviously commercial.
Sometimes, Xiao Chen also has an idea, to make flowers bloom in many places and dragon gates everywhere!
Wait for the Dragon Gate of the underground world to become a giant in the underground world of the whole world...
When the Dragon Gate of the ancient martial arts world becomes the most powerful force in the ancient martial arts world...
When Longmen Group becomes a business empire as Qin Lan said...
By then, everyone in the world will know "Longmen".
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."
Elder Long looked at Xiao Chen with some satisfaction and anticipation.
"I also believe that you can do it."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, he believed it as well.
"Mr. Long, you said you wanted to close the Dragon Gate Inn and leave... Are you going back to Dragon King?"
"I guess so. Like I said just now, the days of leisure should come to an end, and the responsibilities and missions that should be undertaken should also be undertaken... Everything has already begun."
Elder Long said slowly.
"A prelude?"
Xiao Chen looked at Old Long. What did this mean?
"No more talking, come, drink."
Elder Long noticed Xiao Chen's gaze, smiled and said.
“…”
Xiao Chen really wanted to curse, just say, these old guys are still annoying after coming here for a while.
Either don’t say it, or don’t say half of it… It’s like being stuck in the middle of a novel and suddenly it stops. It’s so frustrating!
"Mr. Long, is this inn...really closed?"
Dapang and the others were reluctant to leave. They all grew up here. This place... was no longer just an inn, but their home.
"Haha, it's just closed, it won't be sold."
Old Long smiled.
"Don't you have the key? When you have time, you can come back and stay for a few days, or clean up the place... Maybe one day, I will come back again, and then the Dragon Gate Inn will be open for business again."
After hearing this, Dapang and the others felt better and nodded continuously.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Old Long picked up the wine glass.
"I am very confident in you all. You are all good kids. But I still have to tell you one thing. Don't do things you shouldn't do. Do you understand? Otherwise, the Dragon King will not let you go, and I... won't let you go either."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Long!"
The fat man and the others nodded heavily.
"Come on, have a drink."
Old Long smiled, raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, and dispelled the reluctance in his heart.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Chen chatted with Mr. Long for a while and then prepared to leave.
He also made an appointment with Bai Ye to send some medicinal herbs over.
"Here, these are tea leaves."
Elder Long took a box and handed it to Xiao Chen.
"Okay, Mr. Long, I'll be leaving first. If you have any questions, please call me anytime."
Xiao Chen took it and said to Elder Long.
"good."
Elder Long nodded.
"Go ahead."
After Xiao Chen left, Old Long made another pot of tea and sipped it slowly.
Suddenly, he laughed: "I'm really getting old. I've become sentimental... If the Dragon Emperor doesn't come out, how can I escape from the chaos? Next, it's time for everyone to appear!"
…
On the way back, Xiao Chen called Bai Ye and asked him to go to Xiao's Manor immediately.
Thinking of what Old Long said, he had some guesses in his mind, is it a time of chaos?
Why is the old fortune teller so busy?
Mr. Long, why did you close the Longmen Inn?
What are the responsibilities and missions he mentioned?
Everything...when he becomes innate, he will know it.
The old fortune teller didn’t say it, to put it bluntly, it was because he was too weak!
"The Xiantian realm... is easier said than done."
Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the co-pilot seat. Although the tea given by Elder Long contained spiritual energy, it was not of much help to him.
After a while, he shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and decided to do the task at hand first.
About half an hour later, he returned to the Xiao manor, and Bai Ye also arrived.
Bai Ye didn't drive a sports car, but a pickup truck.
There were a lot of things loaded in the back of the pickup truck.
"Brother Chen, these are all what you need... My grandfather, my father, and all the connections that the Bai family can mobilize have been used for you. If there are any that are not available, it's because they really can't be found."
Bai Ye said to Xiao Chen.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Chen smiled. Some things are indeed hard to find, and may even have disappeared from this world.
After all, Emperor Yan lived too long ago.
After the things were moved out of the pickup truck, Bai Ye gave Xiao Chen another list.
"It's all here. There's nothing. I told you this this morning."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, took the list, and took a quick look. It was actually pretty good, as he had found about 80% of it.
"Brother Chen, what do you need these herbs for? My grandfather said... even to make the Ten-fold Tonic Pill, you don't need so many precious herbs."
Bai Ye was curious.
"Haha, what I want is much more nutritious than the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pills."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Brother Chen, you're not planning on refining the elixir, are you?"
Bai Ye looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Alchemy?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"I would like to, but I can't."
"All right."
Bai Ye nodded.
"Anyway, you can figure out the rest yourself."
"Um."
Xiao Chen looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him and was somewhat tempted.
Bai Ye's words did remind him.
There is alchemy in the Five Volumes of Shennong, but it seems very complicated, so he has not studied it yet.
In addition to medicinal baths, is it possible to make elixirs?
For example, the Xiao family’s Tianyuan Dan and the Dragon Palace’s Xiantian Huayuan Dan are all elixirs.
In the ancient martial arts world, there are still such elixirs, but not many.
Top-grade elixirs are even rarer.
As for why this is so, it’s because… the tradition of alchemy has almost been cut off.
In the entire ancient martial arts world, there seemed to be only one or two alchemy forces.
It can be said that there are fewer people who understand alchemy than those who understand formations.
In addition to being able to make elixirs, one also needs the recipe, which is even more valuable.
Under such circumstances, there are very few elixirs in the ancient martial arts world.
As a result, many people in the ancient martial arts world now carry Nanyun Baiyao with them when they go out... This is quite in line with the secular world.
There is no way around it. If you don't use it, then it's useless.
However, alchemy is not a simple matter, and it is not something that can be learned overnight, otherwise the inheritance would not have been almost cut off.
Alchemy... has very strict requirements in all aspects, not everyone can do it.
So, although Xiao Chen was interested, he didn't think about studying it right away and decided to wait until he had time.
If you want to improve your strength, a medicinal bath is enough.
With the addition of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Qi Drawing Array, and so on, he was confident that he could greatly improve everyone's strength within a short period of time.
Someone like Su Qing... has already reached the state of Hua Jin, so she doesn't need to exert any effort.
Other women... practice dual cultivation, take a medicinal bath, drink some tea, and then absorb the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while guiding the Qi to cleanse the body, strengthening their talents, and transforming their strength is not difficult.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt a little envious. Damn, they seemed to have it so easy!
In order to become stronger, he even rode a dragon, and was almost scared to the point of peeing his pants...
"Who made me not a woman? Besides, I can't meet a man as good as me. Sigh... I'm so envious."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
"Brother Chen, what are you mumbling about?"
Bai Ye didn't hear clearly.
"It's okay. I said I'm very good."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“…”
Bai Ye was speechless. How could he die without being narcissistic?
After unloading the medicinal herbs from the pickup truck, Xiao Chen took Bai Ye to find Zhuge Qingxi.
It took a long time for the two to find Zhuge Qingxi in a corner.
Zhuge Qingxi was holding a compass in his hand and saying something.
Behind him, Sun Wugong and the others were there, helping Zhuge Qingxi.
"Haha, Brother Chen, why do I feel like Xixi is a little witch?"
Bai Ye looked at Zhuge Qingxi's posture and said with a smile.
"A little bit, it seems like I'm looking at Feng Shui."
Xiao Chen nodded and stepped forward.
"Brother Chen."
Zhuge Qingxi and the others greeted Xiao Chen and Bai Ye when they saw them coming.
"how's it going?"
Xiao Chen wiped the sweat off Zhuge Qingxi's face.
"Don't be too tired, take a rest and take your time."
“Not tired.”
Zhuge Qingxi shook his head.
"Almost one third of it is done. We need more jade..."
“You used all that?”
Xiao Chen was surprised. Setting up the formation... was such an expensive job.
"Well, if you don't have it, you can use stones instead, but the effect won't be as good."
Zhuge Qingxi replied.
"I'll continue to have people look for it. If that doesn't work, I'll just go dig it from the jade mine... You can use it anyway."
Xiao Chen said to Zhuge Qingxi.
"good."
Zhuge Qingxi nodded.
"Tomorrow night, the spirit gathering array should be completed... For the mountain protection array, jade will not be needed, any other materials will do."
"Why does the Spirit Gathering Array use jade?"
Bai Ye is curious and asks when he doesn't understand.
"Because jade is spiritual, the effect is better."
Zhuge Qingxi explained.
"oh oh."
Bai Ye nodded.
"Then I'll try to find a way to get it."
