"Mm-hmm, alright,"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Long Yuling didn't say much and immediately agreed.
"By the way, this sword was the reward for first place in the Southwest Grand Competition. I'm giving it to you."
Then, as if remembering something, Lin Chen took out the high-grade spiritual sword from his storage bag.
He had originally intended to give it to the Long family, but since things had turned out this way, giving it to Long Yuling was the same.
"Mm-hmm, alright,"
Long Yuling nodded and took the sword.
For her now, her state of mind had already changed.
This was her man. While this spiritual sword might be an unparalleled treasure to others, she knew it was nothing in Lin Chen's eyes, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
With this sword, she would definitely have more leverage when she returned to the Long family, wouldn't she?
"Now, do I look like a mistress trying to freeload?"
Looking at the spiritual sword in her hand, Long Yuling couldn't help but chuckle.
This high-grade spiritual sword was a rare treasure even among the Five Sects and Four Families.
Now, Lin Chen was casually giving it to her, which made her feel indescribable.
What's more, the timing of the gift was right after they had just shared intimacy.
Anyone who didn't know might think she had sold her body to Lin Chen in exchange for a spiritual artifact!
"What are you talking about? In my heart, you are forever the same as the first time I saw you."
Hearing Long Yuling's words, Lin Chen smiled gently and said with emotion.
When he first saw Long Yuling back then, he was truly captivated by her charm!
Although now it was due to the Dragon-Winged Serpent, it was still a wish fulfilled, so Lin Chen felt no guilt.
After all, he understood Long Yuling's feelings for him.
"Alright, then let's go back first. After you finish your business, come back soon."
"Be careful, don't let that alluring vixen charm your soul away again."
Seeing Lin Chen say this, Long Yuling’s face indeed showed a hint of a smile.
Truthfully, the first time she saw Lin Chen, he had almost bulged his eyes out of their sockets.
But for some reason, the scene of Peng Jiahui looking for Lin Chen to invite him to dinner still involuntarily flashed in her mind.
Before, she didn't even have the right to be jealous. At least now she could openly be jealous, right?
"Mm-hmm, alright, don't worry."
Seeing the smiling Long Yuling, Lin Chen nodded earnestly.
After Long Yuling left, Lin Chen tidied up his emotions and returned to the room.
Because he had been consumed by desire earlier, he hadn't had time to check his current physical condition.
Now that he had calmed down, he could see how much benefit the Dragon-Winged Serpent's blood could bring him!
Lin Chen then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate his energy and observe his body internally.
He was shocked by what he saw!
He could see that his skin was now fair, almost like a woman's.
But beneath the skin, a flow of spiritual energy was circulating.
"My heavens, the blood of just one Dragon-Winged Serpent has given me a body with the hardness of a low-grade spiritual artifact?"
Lin Chen was truly astonished by the hardness of his body.
He hadn't considered how rare Dragon-Winged Serpents were in the entire cultivation world.
The blood of a Dragon-Winged Serpent was an absolute treasure to anyone, even more precious than spiritual artifacts!
Others who obtained Dragon-Winged Serpent blood used it drop by drop to ensure its maximum efficacy.
Yet Lin Chen had used it to bathe!
Furthermore, the gall of the Dragon-Winged Serpent was a treasure countless times more valuable than a high-grade spiritual artifact.
Ordinary people could directly enter the Body Tempering stage after consuming it, let alone Lin Chen.
With the combined enhancement of the blood and gall, it was impossible for his body not to become hard!
"Hmm? What's this?"
However, when Lin Chen felt the golden book in the center of his brow, he couldn't help but frown.
Back in the Nine Dragon Ring, he had vaguely felt something drilling into his brow.
He hadn't expected it to be this thing!
This golden book floated in his Sea of Consciousness, emitting a sacred light, like a divine scripture.
However, when Lin Chen clearly saw the words on the page, his eyes widened involuntarily.
On the golden page, in brilliant golden characters, were written: The Great Grade Celestial Art!
"Holy cow, isn't this the cultivation technique of the legendary Monkey King? Does it really exist?"
Lin Chen was stunned. He had guessed that the golden book was a treasure, but he hadn't expected it to be this!
The Monkey King cultivated to Celestial Immortal status using this technique in twelve years.
He naturally didn't have that innate talent, but it was enough to show the power of this cultivation technique!
What was this Nine Dragon Ring? How could it contain such a miraculous cultivation technique?
How many more secrets were there within it that he didn't know yet?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen unhesitatingly reached out to touch the golden book, but as his intention approached, he was repelled by a surge of pure spiritual energy.
Lin Chen suddenly understood.
"It seems I can only cultivate this once I reach the Nascent Soul stage!"
Having understood everything, Lin Chen stopped meditating. After calming his mind, he got up and walked out.
The members of the Long family had already left, and the Sun family had returned to its former tranquility.
But as soon as Lin Chen stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Zhang Ying not far away, looking at him with a teasing smile in her eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, Junior Brother, is it the serpent's blood acting up, or is it your own heart?"
Seeing Lin Chen come out, Zhang Ying directly teased him.
She was from the cultivation world, so she was already accustomed to men having multiple wives and concubines.
The only thing that made her feel jealous was that she wasn't the first one to be intimate with Lin Chen.
"Ahem, Senior Sister is joking."
Seeing Zhang Ying, and her knowing smile, Lin Chen felt an immense sense of guilt.
He felt like he had been caught stealing, his heart filled with anxiety.
After all, strictly speaking, Zhang Ying was his true fiancée!
Although the engagement wasn't officially set, both his master and his mother had already approved of it.
Seeing Zhang Ying's demeanor now, it was clear she already knew something!
"Alright, stop playing coy. Let's go, we need to quickly resolve the matter with Old Huang."
Zhang Ying then urged him on.
It was undeniable that men in the cultivation world had multiple wives and concubines, so she had nothing to be jealous about.
Instead, the matter with the Huang family was of utmost importance!
