Chapter 5740 - Healing
"Buzz."
As Long Chen teleported out, the two old men at the entrance were still feigning slumber, paying no attention to him.
When Long Chen emerged, he found that Luoyanfeng and the others had been waiting for him here all along. He couldn't help but feel touched.
Luoyanfeng not only had great strength but was also truly kind-hearted. It was rare to find someone who didn't abuse their power, who wasn't overbearing and arrogant. Most importantly, these people genuinely treated Long Chen as their own. When Long Chen reached close to the tenth-tier bloodline, they were proud of him. And when he fell to the ninth-tier, they were disappointed. All of this, Long Chen saw and felt deeply.
Long Chen's impression of the Purple Blood lineage wasn't great to begin with. Then he encountered that idiot Luoshenghui, making his mood even worse. Thankfully, there were people like Luoyanfeng and his group, who made Long Chen feel the warmth of a family. Otherwise, what difference was there between the Luo family and the Long family?
"So you're out so soon?"
When they saw Long Chen emerge, the expressions of Luoyanfeng and the others changed slightly. If he had come out so quickly, there was usually only one reason: his dragon vein power had saturated.
Calculating the time, Long Chen should at most have been able to condense nine dragon veins. If it was thirteen dragon veins, he would need several more days at least. However, in order to prevent Long Chen from feeling down, they still put on smiling faces and said, "How was it? Do you feel the sensation of advancing to the Ninth Heaven? Do you feel full of power?"
Walking over, they spoke one after another.
"What kind of joke is this? You've all treated me so well. If I had only managed to condense nine dragon veins, how could I face you?" Long Chen laughed.
"Could it be…" The others were greatly shocked.
"Buzz."
Long Chen gave a crafty smile and directly summoned all thirteen of his purple blood dragon veins. The others couldn't help but become wild with joy. The Long family now had another high-level expert at the thirteen dragon vein level.
"Wait a moment, your dragon veins… why do they seem so… frail?" The others suddenly realized that Long Chen's purple blood dragon veins were only around nine feet long. Nine dragon veins converged, occupying a space of only several yards in radius.
What was most unbelievable was that they couldn't feel the vast and boundless oppressive aura that came from Long Chen's body. For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen such weak dragon veins before.
What they didn't know was that under Long Zhan Tian's training of the Dragon Battle Devil Technique, Long Chen had learned the utmost control over his power. He instinctively compressed all his strength to its limits. His purple blood dragon veins were compressed to their limits, just like their current appearance. In fact, it wasn't just the purple blood; the dragon veins of Long Bloodline, Star Bloodline, and Supreme Bloodline were all in this state.
Currently, Long Chen had comprehended the essence of Long Zhan Tian's teachings. However, to expect him to grasp the results of Long Zhan Tian's decades of experience in just a few days was a pipe dream.
To become accustomed to such extreme control, Long Chen needed to constantly compress the displayed power to its minimum. By doing so, even in the time between breaths, he was effectively cultivating.
"Anyway, Long Chen has already condensed thirteen purple blood dragon veins. Our Luo family has gained another expert. Hehe." Luoyanfeng patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said, "Come, next, I'll take you to the Purple Immortal Pavilion to learn our exclusive techniques and arts of the Purple Blood lineage."
Learning the techniques and arts of the Purple Blood lineage was a necessary step after condensing dragon veins, especially for Long Chen, who had roamed outside without the chance to practice the lineage's techniques and arts.
The techniques and arts of the Purple Blood lineage could only unleash their maximum power under the special techniques and arts of the lineage.
"I want to go see my grandfather first," Long Chen said.
"That's fine too." Luoyanfeng nodded. Long Chen had just condensed his dragon veins. In theory, this was the time he should rest a little, allowing himself to adapt to the sudden surge of power. Going straight to practice techniques and arts was indeed a bit too hasty.
With Luoyanfeng and the others escorting him, they encountered quite a few provoking gazes on the way. However, with Luoyanfeng present, these people dared only to provoke with their eyes.
Nonetheless, some people were quite friendly to Long Chen, taking the initiative to greet him. Long Chen responded to each of them.
Upon returning to the Lu family, Luoyanfeng escorted Long Chen to the residence where Luo Zichuan was located, then left, mentioning that he was going to participate in a major battle. He advised Long Chen not to be too hasty and to cultivate techniques and arts first before joining them in battle when he had gained sufficient strength.
When Long Chen heard this, his expression became a bit strange, but since his father advised him to play it safe, he could only follow the advice.
Upon entering Luo Zichuan's room, he found only his father inside. When Long Chen walked in, Long Zhantian smiled and asked, "Everything went smoothly?"
Long Chen smiled and replied, "Very smoothly."
"Dad, I've already condensed thirteen dragon veins, and they've reached their peak. What should I do now?" Long Chen asked.
"First, channel your purple blood energy into your grandfather's dantian, sea of consciousness, and divine storage space. Use your life force to replace his original life fire. With your current level of control, it should be a piece of cake and there's no need to be nervous. After you've secured his soul, remove all the purple blood within his body," Long Zhantian explained.
Long Chen was surprised, "Are you suggesting..."
Long Zhantian nodded, "Are you willing?"
"Of course," Long Chen immediately agreed without hesitation.
As they spoke, Luo Zichuan, who was unconscious, moved his head slightly. It was as if he was shaking his head, but the movement was so subtle that it was hard to notice.
Unexpectedly, their conversation had been heard by Luo Zichuan, even though their previous attempts to communicate with him had weakened the strength of the barrier. Now that the barrier was normally active, he could still hear them.
Long Chen looked at Long Zhantian with a hint of difficulty in his expression. Evidently, his grandfather wasn't in agreement.
However, Long Zhantian pretended not to notice and said, "Let's begin."
With that said, he waved his hand, and the barrier covering Luo Zichuan disappeared in an instant. The moment the barrier vanished, a terrifying curse's power rushed in.
"Buzz"
Long Chen extended his hand and pressed onto Luo Zichuan's Dantian acupoint. A purple vortex formed, converging into Luo Zichuan's body, then instantly split into three streams, racing away.
Seeing how adept Long Chen was in using the purple blood energy, Long Zhantian's eyes revealed a pleased expression. To be able to master the newly acquired power to such an extent immediately after obtaining it was truly a testament to his careful instruction.
"Phew"
Following the procedure to secure Luo Zichuan's soul, Long Chen lifted his hand. An endless amount of purple blood mixed with rune-like symbols that resembled maggots was drawn out from Luo Zichuan's body by Long Chen.
"What vicious means."
Long Chen saw those disgusting curse runes and couldn't help but grit his teeth. The Sunfire within his palm emerged.
"Sizzle..."
Within the flames, the curse runes were slowly melted down, ultimately turning into ashes. After the curse runes were stripped away, only a drop of Luo Zichuan's life essence blood remained.
Because the curse runes had deeply infiltrated the life essence blood, their assimilation also consumed a massive amount of the life essence, which was why they were so troublesome.
Finally, that drop of life essence blood converged between Long Chen's fingers and gently touched Luo Zichuan's brow. Originally, Luo Zichuan's body had withered drastically due to the loss of his life essence blood, giving him a terrifying appearance. However, as that drop of life essence blood entered his brow, followed by the immense power of the purple blood energy flooding into his limbs like a tide, his body rapidly regained its plumpness.
During this process, Long Chen's face turned pale, and his body started to sway. However, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to infuse all of the purple blood energy into Luo Zichuan's body.
Finally, Long Chen couldn't hold on any longer. His body staggered, almost falling to the ground. But just at that moment, a pair of strong hands caught him.
"Grandfather."
Long Chen, weakened due to the immense consumption of purple blood energy and soul power, saw those hands and couldn't help but exclaim in delight.
