Chapter 139 Plentiful Harvest

Long Chens voice was very gentle as if he were just greeting an old friend . His bright smile was extremely sincere .

But in their eyes, that smile was even more terrifying than a vicious Magical Beast . Who could possibly ruthlessly beat people like this and then still speak so gently to them immediately after?

Long Chen you dont go overboard! fearfully cried out the cross-eyed man .

I never go overboard . I just want to have a conversation . I have my own secret problems . You can only blame yourselves for growing faces that were just asking for a beating . If I hadnt beat you, I would have been afraid the heavens would strike me with lightning, helplessly sighed Long Chen .

You

Well, lets get to business . Continuing on from where I left off, Im very happy you guys are here . On my own behalf, I warmly welcome you three with my heartfelt congratulations . Long Chen even clapped a couple times for them before continuing:

I was lacking manpower, but your arrival totally fixes that problem! I just happened to need some people to help me make some fish cages .

And two, Mr . Cross-eyed, I really must thank you for bringing me such a gift . I really must apologize for my previous crudeness . So I hope you wont make me feel any more guilty about that beating . You understand, right?

Long Chen extended his hand, his meaning obvious . If he didnt hand over his life ring, Long Chen would have to be make himself feel even more guilty .

Please, thats my ancestors ok, Ill give it to you . The cross-eyed man had just been about to refuse when Long Chen began to shrug his shoulders and legs as a warm up . He immediately threw over his life ring .

Hehe, ah, brother Zhaos sincerity is really too much; I really cant accept . Ah, well I guess Im just becoming soft-hearted . No need to thank me, Long Chen sighed as he took the life ring .

The cross-eyed mans vision darkened as he became so dizzy with anger than he almost fainted . This person really was too shameless! Who would thank someone for robbing them?!

Long Chen, youre also from a powerful family . How can you be such a scoundrel? This is the conduct of a small person, indignantly said one of them .

No, Im not from a powerful family . So being a small person is just in my nature . Being a scoundrel is my virtue, robbing is my profession, and beating up others would have to be my greatest hobby . Long Chen tried using his divine sense to enter the life ring .

The three of them turned green from rage at this shameless display . This completely toppled their understanding as noble disciples . Long Chen didnt care the slightest bit of his status . That both infuriated and terrified them .

In just a couple breaths time, Long Chen broke through the life rings original spiritual imprint and managed to see what was inside .

What surprised Long Chen was that a life ring really wasnt the same as a spatial ring . Instead of being a neat and square area, it was the shape of a sphere .

It had an area of around thirty meters . Inside were some small gardens . In the middle was also a small pond . Around it were a couple small shrubs and plants .

Interesting . Long Chen took out his Immortal Chrysanthemum and placed it into the life ring . Using his Spiritual Strength, he dug out a small hole and planted it within .

Originally the Immortal Chrysanthemum, despite him leaving some of its original soil around its roots, would have died within three days in his spatial ring . That was because living things couldnt be stored within a spatial ring . Even living plants could not be stored without them dying .

But at this time the Immortal Chrysanthemum had yet to die . Although planting it here wouldnt allow it to continue growing, at least it wouldnt die .

A living Immortal Chrysanthemum was much more useful than a dead one . That was because once a precious natural treasure died, a part of its essence would be lost just like that . That was something that could not be avoided .

But now with the life ring, this Immortal Chrysanthemum could live for longer . It was just unfortunate that this life rings quality was too inferior . Otherwise the Immortal Chrysanthemum could have continued to grow within the life ring .

Due to this ring, I wont steal your tiles . Long Chen nodded his head contentedly .

They relaxed when they heard that . But only the cross-eyed man was filled with pain .

Although he had no major use for that life ring, he had always acted as if it was some divine item . That was because such things were incredibly few in number and few people had ever possessed or even seen one .

No matter who he was with, as long as he showed off his life ring, he would immediately become the center of attention . With his bragging skills, he would speak of his ancestors glory .

Furthermore, because the life ring wasnt that practical, it wouldnt cause others to go rob him . And so it had never been snatched away .

But now he had run into Long Chen . And it had just happened that Long Chen was in need of such a thing . That caused the cross-eyed mans heart to bleed blood .

Mr . Cross-eyed-

My surname is Zhao! retorted the cross-eyed man .

Brother Zhao Cross-eyed-

My name is Zhao Tianhao!

Slap!

A ear-ringing slap landed on his face as Long Chen raged, Now your name is Cross-eyes! If you dare interrupt again, Ill throw you into the water to feed the fishes!

The cross-eyed man glared at Long Chen but he didnt dare open his mouth again . By now he was completely terrified of this shameless scoundrel .

With a wave of his hand, Long Chen suddenly covered the three of them with a white powder . The three of them were taken by surprise, but they didnt sense anything immediately odd from the powder .

But after a while, they sensed something was wrong . Their bodies were becomingly unbearably itchy, especially around their wounds . They werent able to bear it and began to scratch .

As soon as they scratched, even their insides became itchy and they couldnt help crying out .

Hehe, I saw that you guys dont like to be cooperative so I gave you guys some itching powder . Now we can discuss business .

Long Chen extended his hand, giving them three medicinal pills . This is a temporary cure . It can stop the itching for two hours . As long as you all work properly, two hours later, I will give you the full cure . But if you are stubborn, you can choose not to eat it . But Ill tell you right now that my itching powder is not ordinary . Without scratching off your own skin, theres no way youll stop it .

The three of them angrily decided to obediently eat his cure . Immediately after consuming it, the itching completely disappeared . It was as if that itching before had just been a dream .

Ok, now Ill give you your jobs . Go cut down some branches to weave into cages for me . Make them according to the standards of the cage I have here . If you cant each make one in two hours, no antidote .

After he finished saying that, the three of them continued to just foolishly look at him . He sinisterly laughed, You can continue just standing there, but I guarantee that two hours later, youll be in so much pain you wont want to live .

The three of them blanched and immediately flew into action . They began chopping down branches and weaving them according to Long Chens cage .

But Long Chen had really overestimated these spoiled disciples . The things they weaved caused Long Chen to curse . There were so many huge gaps between their branches that even a tortoise would be able to swim through; how could it possibly be used for catching fish?

Hey, work properly! You, Cross-eyes, didnt you say you can see through things accurately? Are you making cages or a boat? Does that look like the right shape?!

Long Chen finally had no choice but to teach them how to work one step at a time .

Only at this time did Long Chen have a chance to check his second fish cage . Pulling it out, splashing came from within .

Theres actually seven in this one! After all, Long Chen had left this cage in the water for about twice as long . That was why there were so many more fish in .

He checked the medicinal pill he had wrapped in grass and placed within the cage . Despite having soaked in water for so long, it hadnt dissolved much at all .

Long Chen thought about and decided to take a dagger and cut the medicinal pill into smaller pieces . That way the flavor released would be even denser .

He then threw it back into the water . Returning to his original location, he saw the three of them had finished weaving .

Although there were still many small gaps, they had used some more thinner branches to cover up those spots . Although it was ugly, it could at least be used to catch more fish . Once they swam into it, they wouldnt be able to escape .

At this time, the three of their expressions were somewhat ugly . Their bodies were incessantly trembling . Obviously the itching powder had already begun to affect them again . But with their experience from last time, they didnt dare go itch again and could only bitterly endure it .

Seeing Long Chen arrive, the three of them looked at him expectantly . By now they had already realized how terrifying Long Chen was and didnt dare do anything to provoke him .

Long Chen handed them new medicinal pills that could let them stop the itching for six hours . He knew with their previous experience, they wouldnt dare run .

The three of them stayed by the waterside, weaving fish cages for him . It went without saying that under this pressure, their weaving skill quickly skyrocketed . If there came a day they were no longer able to cultivate, they could still rely on their weaving to survive .

After a whole day, they had weaved over thirty fish cages . Long Chen threw them into the water, placing them at least several hundred meters apart to attract more fish .

Each loop around the pool would take him close to four hours . He could continuously circle around, raising the cages and collecting the fish inside .

Because the medicinal pill had its own limits, Long Chen didnt require any more cages . He set the three of them to bringing up the cages for him as he just sat there, waiting for them to bring him buckets of Wonder Carps .

Two days later, Long Chens life ring contained hundreds of Wonder Carps . Long Chen finally decided to stop fishing .

One reason was that the medicinal pill had finally dissolved away, and the other reason was that he temporarily had enough fish for his uses . In any case, he would be staying within the Xuantian Monastery in the future . There would still be chances for him to get more, so there was no need for him to take all the fish away .

A small fire was burning away next to the pool . Dozens of Wonder Carps were being cooked, the smell causing people to drool with desire . Even Long Chen had to constantly swallow his saliva .

Ok, youve all worked hard . These fish can be your reward . After eating you can head off .

Long Chen took the lead to take a fish and began eating it . As soon as he bit into, the flavor immediately exploded throughout his mouth, making him want to eat even more .

After eating just that one, he handed over the antidote to the itching powder to them and walked off alone .

The three of them watched him leave and then looked at each other . They began to wildly devour the food . In just a short moment, they completely finished over all of them .

This Long Chen isnt that bad, sighed one of them, licking his lips .

You absolutely cant let boss Lei hear that . Remember which faction were on, said the cross-eyed man .

Thee three of their hearts shook and they hastily nodded .

Ok, just let this matter pass like this . No one say anything . Otherwise if boss Lei hears about it, he might feel were too useless and kick us out, he solemnly continued .

After that, the three of them also walked away from this place .

Of course, Long Chen didnt care what those three thought of him . In any case, he had already obtained something good . After treating them to such a feast, they were even .

Walking over a small mountain, a voice suddenly attracted his attention .
