C19 Strange inhibition

"Azure Dragon Seal..."

Sitting on his bed in his own attic, Long Chen flipped through the Secret Scripture of the Dragon Seal several times. It wasn't until he was a little sleepy that Long Chen finally placed the Dragon Seal on the edge of his bed.

"Because it's a high-level technique and only a few people cultivate it in Yang Family. Judging from the ancient material of the Dragon Seal that was given to me should be the original material of the Secret Scripture. But Father said that there's a secret on the Secret Scripture, and that’s the key for me to become the Dragon Martial Cultivator. But why can't I find it?"

Long Chen laid on his bed and looked out the window in a daze.

"What the crap? Isn't it just a few pieces of parchment? What secret could there be? So many people have seen this Secret Scripture. If there was one, it would have been discovered a long time ago…"

Long Chen was a little dejected.

"That's not right!" Long Chen sat up from the bed excitedly.

"It's precisely because it's not easy to find the secret that so many people in the Yang Family have yet to discover it. Since Father has allowed me to obtain this Secret Scripture, then I must work even harder and I will naturally know exactly what is inside!"

Once again, he picked up the Dragon Seal and looked at those beautiful handwriting. Long Chen looked at them word by word. Even the corners of some of the pages, he carefully examined them. But in the end he still didn't find anything.

"Right now, I am already at the Fifth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage. But with the Great Completion of Stellar Battle Armor, ordinary cultivators at Sixth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage are not my match. Adding this Dragon Seal, I will be able to unleash even stronger fighting strength. But it's a pity that the Stellar Battle Armor is a medium Yellow Rank cultivation technique. When facing against experts at the Seventh Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage and above, I don't have any more advantages…"

"The Hunting Competition is about to start and Bai Shiji hates me to the bones. If I cannot find a solution before then, then I will definitely not be left with any bones, not to mention to create a new world for myself!"

Thinking about the people like Bai Shiji who was with Seventh Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage, Long Chen deeply furrowed his brows.

He had the best estimation of his own strength. Against Sixth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage, he might be able to easily obtain victory, but if it was Seventh Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage, then there was no hope.

The Dragon Meridian Stage was divided into nine levels, and the first six levels of the Dragon Meridians were all called minor dragon meridians. These minor dragon meridians were not very thick, and they were not long enough, so the amount of Genuine Qi that they could burst out was limited.

Sixth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage was the turning point. Seventh Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage and above were called Human Dragon Meridian, Earth Dragon Meridian, and Heavenly Dragon Meridian. The thickness and length of each Dragon Meridian was more than twice that of the minor Dragon Meridians. Heavenly Dragon Meridian twisted inside the body, its length up to almost all of the Dragon Meridians combined!

Therefore, Long Chen knew that the Dragon Meridian Stage was extremely difficult to cultivate from the very end. This was also the reason why there were so few experts in the Ninth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage!

The biggest difference between Long Chen and the people from the Seventh Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage was that the amount of Genuine Qi needed to break through the Human Dragon Meridian was more than ten times the level of the Sixth Level of the Dragon Meridian Stage. Thus, the strength of Bai Shiji, just by comparing their Genuine Qi, was 20 to 30 times stronger than Long Chen's.

"However…"

A cold light exploded from Long Chen's eyes as he thought to herself, "Since Bai Shiji is Bai Zhanxiong's son then I must be stronger than him. In order for that woman to completely understand who is the true trash and who doesn't know anything!"

Even though he said this, his heart still felt heavy. At the very least, right now, he couldn't do anything about his Dragon Seal. If he was to just muddle along like this for the next ten days, then maybe he would be muddleheaded for the rest of his life!

"Dragon Martial Cultivator, what exactly is it? Father actually said it was a long-lost legend? I have only heard of the incredibly mystical Beast Martial Cultivators and Weapon Martial Cultivators, but have never heard of this Dragon Martial Cultivator…"

"However, Father and Lingxi have said that this incomparably vast world is called Longji Continent, and rumors have it that our Human Clan is also the descendant of an unparalleled Ancient Divine Dragon. So this Dragon Martial Cultivator must be closely related to the dragons of legends from the ancient times!"

During the Great Clan Assembly, Lingxi had probably exhausted all of her strength during that attack. Thus, after three days, she still had not woken up. Long Chen was a little worried, and he thought to himself, "Don't tell me that this girl is going to die just like that? I think this attack consumed a lot of her energy. She has already saved me twice, so she can be considered my savior. However, I said that I want to protect her. I would not let her protect me next time."

He looked at the Dragon Seal in his hands again.

"Father only wants me to obtain the Secret Scripture, and did not tell me how to discover the secret of the Secret Scripture. It still depends on my own hard work, but if only I had Lingxi here, it would be great. Her identity is mysterious. She must have a huge backer, and she is experienced and knowledgeable. I think she can help me answer this question."

Long Chen sighed, lay on the bed and covered his face with the Dragon Seal.

"What's going on?"

Long Chen realized that when he stuck the Dragon Seal to his head, he realized that the mysterious Dragon Jade in his sea of consciousness that had been motionless for a while suddenly trembled. But there were no other movements.

At this time, a small voice suddenly sounded next to Long Chen's ears. The owner of that voice was actually so weak.

"There seems to be a restriction placed on this Secret Scripture…"

The one who spoke was Lingxi, and now that the Lingxi Sword was the size of an ear nail. It could be heard by Long Chen, even in soft voice.

When Long Chen heard Lingxi's voice, his worry for the past few days had lessened. But Lingxi's voice was still weak. He knew that Lingxi had not recovered yet, so he anxiously asked, "Xiao Xi, how are you right now? It's all my fault this time. I swear, nothing like this will happen in the future. Every time you attack, you get so weak…"

"It's alright…" Lingxi interrupted.

Long Chen was a little touched, but he clenched his teeth and said, "What do you mean by 'it doesn't matter'? You shall not take care of my business in the future. If I get killed because of recklessness, then I deserve to die. But if you die because of me, I, Long Chen, will blame myself for my entire life. Then I might as well die!"

"Now tell me what the situation is."

Long Chen was a little angry, and Lingxi also became silent as she said obediently, "My body has disappeared, and the surroundings are now completely dark. But my current mental state is completely maintained by the power of my previous soul. So this kind of strength is getting less after use. Previously, I was in a state of panic and fear, so I controlled the Lingxi Sword to fly a long distance away. So I did not have much soul energy left. If there was no medicine of nutrition for my soul, I might…"

Long Chen acted like he was struck by lightning, and almost shouted out, "Why didn't you say it earlier!?"

Lingxi felt wronged as she sobbed, "Why are you mad at me? I just woke up. You would have died the last time if I had not protected you. So how could I have the time to say anything…"

Long Chen's mood calmed down at this point, and he was silent for a while and then said, "Xiao Xi, thank you. But as a man, I will never let you have such a situation again. As for the medicine you talked about, I will go out and find for you right now!"

Lingxi had almost given her life to save him. Although Long Chen did not say how touched he was, but in his heart, he had already regarded Lingxi as someone important enough to make him pay with his own life.

Long Chen kept the Dragon Seal in his arms and went out. He was not very familiar with the medicine used by cultivators, but there was only one person that he got along well with in Yang Family. That was Yang Lingqing. Thus, he decided to look for her.

"A medicine to nourish the soul is not so easily found, and is usually rather precious. Long Chen, have I become a burden for you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!? You saved my life, so I spent efforts to save you. What kind of burden is this? What’s wrong with you?"

Although Long Chen's words were fierce, but the deep concern in his tone made Lingxi enjoy it very much. Looking at the determined look on the youth's face, Lingxi thought about many things. This disaster had made her, a carefree girl, grow up.

"Oh right, what did you say about the restriction on the Dragon Seal? Can you remove it?"

Because of his concern about Lingxi, he had forgotten about this important matter. And upon thinking about it, Long Chen asked with anticipation.

"My current soul power is not enough for me to clearly see this restriction. However, if I can obtain the medicine to nourish my soul, I think I can give it a try."

Long Chen was overjoyed, and said, "Good for you, Xiao Xi. As expected, you are very capable. If you had a good body, I could kiss you and reward you!"

After he finished speaking, Long Chen laughed loudly.

"Humph! Nice try. A toad wants to eat swan meat! However, if you want to remove the restriction, you will need more than just a little bit of medicine. I have a big stomach. So if you need me to do anything for you in the future, it's very simple. I need to eat some medicine!"

"Alright, alright, you medicine bottle."

He started a joke, but the atmosphere was not as heavy as before. However, Long Chen still understood in his heart that the burden on his shoulders would become even heavier in the future.

He did not only have to become stronger, but also to increase the amount of treasures he had. Only the medicine that nurtured the soul could maintain Lingxi's life.

"Does Aspen Town, such small place, have medicines to nurture the soul…"

Long Chen was still very worried.

In the large courtyard of Yang Family, when the guards and maids saw him, they all smiled at him. However, that smile was squeezed out of their faces, and it looked even uglier than crying.

Long Chen's performance at the Great Clan Assembly had allowed him to truly reach a status in Yang Family. In addition to his own overbearing strength and vicious personality, if these small characters dared to disrespect him again, they would definitely be seeking punishment for nothing.

To the side, Yang Wu silently watched a row of guards salute to Long Chen, and his gaze gradually darkened.

"What originally belonged to Little Yue Er was taken away by this servant. Look at how pleased this servant is with himself. However, how long can you be proud of yourself?"

"Grandpa thought highly of you only for using you. Second Uncle has been working hard all these years. Although he is still at the Seventh Level of Dragon Meridian Stage, he is the one who has managed the family business. He has done great deeds for the Yang family, and you are a playboy who has corrupted the Yang family since you were young. Don’t you think that you will have a sparrow to fly on the branch and become a phoenix?

Long Chen actually knew that Yang Wu was looking at him. He just didn't want to bother with him.

If someone beat up his sister, Long Chen might just directly go up and fight them with his life on the line. So he was very clear about what Yang Wu was thinking in his heart.

"Xiao Xi, do you see the man who looked at me with hidden bitterness in his eyes?"

"I saw it, but it doesn't seem to be a hidden bitterness."

"You don't know the truth. Actually, he is a freak who has been secretly in love with me for a long time. However, we are both men, so he did not dare to say it out loud. However, his feelings for me are even truer than gold…"

"Ah, so disgusting! I'm going to vomit!"
