Long Chen gathered Guo Ran and Xia Chen, left the Wine God Palace, found a secluded spot, and took out those ancient evil corpses.
The Wine God Palace is a sacred place. Long Chen felt that taking out corpses there, even in a cultivation chamber, would be a form of desecration of the Wine God Palace.
After removing the bodies, Xia Chen and Guo Ran began recording the runes on these bodies. These runes are almost invisible nowadays, and each rune holds immense research value.
The two spent a full three days recording these runes. After finishing, Long Chen stored the corpse into the chaotic space and threw it directly into the black soil, which began to slowly absorb it.
The three returned to the Wine God Palace. Long Chen summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree. Under it, the two studied the runes intensely. Under its divine radiance, they entered an ethereal state, their thoughts a hundred times clearer than usual, and their operation speed a hundred times faster.
The two of them studied all kinds of runes frantically, choosing only the most valuable ones. These runes came from ancient evil corpses, weapons from them, and strange runes found in the Land of Sky Burial.
The two studied and took notes while studying, afraid that once the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree lost its brilliance, they would no longer understand these runes.
Seven days passed, and the two had studied hundreds of ancient runes. Although compared to the hundreds of thousands they had recorded, it was still a bit too little.
However, these are all premium runes that are extremely helpful to them. Moreover, it will take some time to fully absorb them.
Although the runes have been deconstructed, how to activate and use them still requires a long process of analysis and practice.
Ancient runes represent the divine inheritance of the primordial era. The value of a complete ancient rune is immeasurable. This time, Xia Chen and Guo Ran have truly made a huge profit.
Seven days later, Long Chen put away the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree and said to Xia Chen and Guo Ran, "
I'm going to the Vermilion Bird Empire. Are you two staying at the Wine God Palace, or coming with me?"
"Boss, you go marry Sister Qingxuan. The two of us won't cause any trouble. I've discussed it with Xia Chen. The blueprints for the Dragon Pattern Battle Armor and Dragon Pattern Battle Sword are just a rough plan for now. The details still need to be carefully considered."
I want to gather all the Dragonblood Warriors of Ziyan Heaven first. Only by wearing the clothes can we know if they are appropriate.
Last time in the Three Thousand Worlds, I recorded the location of every Dragonblood Warrior. There are 360 people in Purple Flame Heaven. I want to find them all first and use them for testing. That way, the Dragon Pattern Battle Armor and Dragon Pattern Battle Sword won't have major deviations. Once they can use it, the others won't have much trouble." Guo Ran said.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Also, find out if there are other Dragon Blood Warriors who haven't entered the Three Thousand Worlds yet. If you can get in touch, try to gather them all." Within
the Three Thousand Worlds, only a little over 2,700 Dragon Blood Warriors have gathered. Surely, many Dragon Blood Warriors have not entered the Three Thousand Worlds. At the very least, not a single soldier from the medical team has appeared.
Without medics, the Dragonblood Legion is like a sharp sword—sharp but lacking flexibility. Hard enough to break easily, and in a head-on fight, it can hurt a thousand enemies but eight hundred yourself, which is not conducive to prolonged fighting.
In the last great battle, if the medical corps had been present, the Dragonblood warriors wouldn't have feared injury at all and had no worries about their rears, and their combat effectiveness would have greatly increased.
Since Xia Chen and Guo Ran decided to search for the Dragon Blood Warriors scattered throughout Purple Flame Heaven, they might as well put in more effort and try to search the entire Ziyan Heaven, making sure nothing was missed.
"We're not working hard, but boss, you're the one who's having to work." Guo Ran chuckled, patted his chest, signaling that he would take care of the matter and reassure Long Chen.
"What the hell am I working so hard for?" Long Chen chuckled wryly and said irritably.
This time, he was openly flirting with Yu Qingxuan—in other words, he was just picking up girls. Guo Ran's flattery made Long Chen wish he could crawl into a hole.
"Hahaha..."
Guo Ran and Xia Chen laughed heartily. Xia Chen said, "It's definitely tough. The Vermilion Bird Empire has a vast history and an astonishing heritage. Sister Qingxuan is their princess, with the noble Jiuli bloodline flowing in her veins."
Boss, if you want to pursue Sister Qingxuan, it probably won't be that simple. Besides, that Eunuch Wei clearly isn't a good deal. You've offended him before, and you haven't even arrived in the Vermilion Bird Empire yet. I'm afraid all sorts of plots against you have already started brewing. "
Tch, for your boss, this is just a piece of cake. I can't say much else, but when it comes to picking up girls, I'm really confident."
That Eunuch Wei was nothing more than a clown, unworthy of public attention. Long Chen smiled faintly, completely disregarding Eunuch Wei.
With Meng Qi's approval this time, Long Chen felt as if he had received an imperial edict. Now, he was ordered to pursue women, and no one could stop him from openly pursuing Yu Qingxuan.
Xia Chen and Guo Ran were even more straightforward than Long Chen. After speaking, they left the Wine God Palace directly, letting Long Chen say goodbye to Xia Guhong on their behalf.
"You're going to the Vermilion Bird Empire right now?" Are the betrothal gifts ready? Xia Guhong said in surprise. He had thought Long Chen would go to great lengths to buy betrothal gifts.
"Who would have time for any bride price? Isn't I the best betrothal gift myself?" Long Chen said with a smile.
Xia Guhong smiled, "You brat, you sure have thick skin. Going empty-handed like this is a bit too rude!"
Fortunately, I prepared a small gift for you. Here are ten jars of top-quality blood-fire sorghum wine, which is the favorite wine of Yu Xiaoyun, the ruler of the Vermilion Bird Empire.
Bloodfire Sorghum Wine is divided into nine grades. If someone has tasted the third-grade Bloodfire Sorghum Wine, it is already considered a divine grade, but if you've already tasted the seventh-grade, that's the ninth grade, which is the ultimate quality.
Senior Brother Lishi's peerless divine brew was brewed eight thousand years ago, now only twelve jars. If he wants to brew it next time, he'll need the next batch of Bloodfire Sorghum to mature, which will probably be ten thousand years from now.
So these ten jars of blood-fire sorghum wine are extremely precious. I told Senior Brother Lishi about you, and he didn't hesitate to hand over ten jars. You must remember his favor." Long
Chen was deeply moved when he heard this. That senior Lishi was someone Long Chen had met before—he was a terrifying fire cultivator. Long Chen couldn't discern his cultivation level at all. He was extremely humble, but the wine he brewed was as spicy as a blade, with a strong potency. One gulp could leave him savoring for days. Last time, Long Chen drank his wine, and was knocked down in one gulp and lay down for three days.
The elders of the Wine God Palace treated him so well. Long Chen respectfully accepted the fine wine and carefully put it away.
"Let's see when the time comes. If he has a bad attitude, giving him such good wine would be a waste." Long Chen said with a hint of pain.
Xia Guhong laughed heartily: "You're being too stingy. If you're going to marry someone's daughter, you can't even spare a few jars of wine?" If Yu Xiaoyun knew what you were thinking, he probably wouldn't even let you into Vermilion Bird City. "
Wait, you mean Yu ... Who is Xiaoyun? Long Chen's expression changed slightly; this name gave him a faint sense of foreboding.
