Chapter 1363 - 1362: Green Jade Moss

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1362: Green Jade Moss

It’s even more ridiculous that Longyuan True Immortal actually said that they must be respectful and accommodating to Ling Chen, or else it would be treated as betrayal of the Sect?

This is simply a loss of dignity for the Sect!

Too humiliating!

These people, who’ve always been dominant on Fish-dragon Island, have never suffered such disgrace?

However, the behavior of these Fish Dragon Sect disciples seemed extremely laughable to Longyuan True Immortal, because he understood that in this world, strength is the true way; whoever is stronger is the boss. Ling Chen’s strength is unfathomable, not to mention he has a powerful puppet. In the presence of a strong person, one should bow down; dignity and face are worth nothing, not even worth mentioning.

"Brother Ling Chen, do you think this satisfactory?"

Longyuan True Immortal looked eagerly at Ling Chen, not daring to breathe.

"Well, it’s mediocre."

Ling Chen nodded with uncertainty, then scanned the devastated fishing village around him, frowning slightly, "However, this place I live in has been messed up by your Fish Dragon Sect. How can anyone live here in the future?"

"Rest assured, I’ll have people repair the fishing village to its original state and assign people to protect it strictly, not allowing anyone to approach even half a step near your residence," Longyuan True Immortal hurriedly said. At this moment, this formerly high and mighty figure of Fish-dragon Island had seemingly transformed into Ling Chen’s subordinate, pandering meticulously.

"Hmm, that’s more like it,"

Ling Chen nodded again but then suddenly seemed to be experiencing discomfort, clutching his chest and frowning, saying, "During our fight earlier, my internal injury seems to have relapsed. You Fish Dragon Sect have to take responsibility for this."

"How to take responsibility?"

Longyuan True Immortal’s heart sank; could this brat be planning to make excessive demands?

"Do you Fish Dragon Sect have any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can speed up the recovery of True Qi?"

Ling Chen coughed lightly and then slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Longyuan True Immortal.

"Speed up True Qi recovery?"

Longyuan True Immortal pondered for a moment, secretly amazed. Ling Chen indeed was injured, but the fact that he could fight so well despite having serious injuries was even more astonishing. If he weren’t injured, dealing with him might only take one move!

Thinking of this, Longyuan True Immortal couldn’t help but feel secretly glad that he had woken up quickly and hadn’t stubbornly fought Ling Chen to the end, otherwise he would surely be the one dead by now.

His gaze towards Ling Chen became slightly more serious, Longyuan True Immortal nodded and said, "I remember now, there is indeed such a thing. In the warehouse of our Fish Dragon Sect, there happens to be a stock of Green Jade Moss that has reached two thousand years. It should be of help to you, Brother Ling Chen."

"Two-thousand-year-old Green Jade Moss?"

Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened. This is a good thing! Green Jade Moss, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, only exists on the seabed. Given that Fish Dragon Sect is located in the sea, possessing a stock of Green Jade Moss is not surprising. However, Green Jade Moss that has reached two thousand years is different, it is a rare and valuable treasure.

Unexpectedly, Longyuan True Immortal is so insightful and voluntarily presented such a valuable item.

This is what Ling Chen thought, but Longyuan True Immortal had other concerns; he wasn’t offering it to please Ling Chen but fearing that if he said no, Ling Chen might swoop in and pillage the Sect’s treasure vault, which would be much more costly than losing a stock of Green Jade Moss.

This was completely overthinking, as Ling Chen, being a decent person, would never engage in such robbery.

"Two-thousand-year-old Green Jade Moss is not an ordinary item. How could I just take it from you for free?"

Ling Chen muttered to himself.

"Brother Ling Chen, you shouldn’t say that. It’s all due to my mistakes that worsened your internal injuries; I naturally have to compensate,"

Longyuan True Immortal replied with a warm smile, considering a stock of Green Jade Moss to be a worthy exchange for Ling Chen’s forgiveness.

"Despite that, I am not a robber. How about I trade something with you instead?"

Ling Chen flipped his palm, and a faint blue, star-lit flower appeared in his hand, "This is a Spirit Root Flower that has reached fifteen hundred years. Although its age isn’t as much as your Green Jade Moss, Spirit Root Flower is now an extinct herb. In terms of value, it shouldn’t be lower than your Green Jade Moss."

"Spirit Root Flower?"

Longyuan True Immortal’s eyes brightened. Initially thinking the Green Jade Moss was merely a gift to Ling Chen, he didn’t expect Ling Chen to offer such a great item like the Spirit Root Flower in exchange.

The Spirit Root Flower, capable of enhancing warriors’ bodily essence, is valuable. However, it primarily benefits warriors with ordinary bodily essence; for inherently talented individuals, even Spirit Root Flower would have little effect.

But in this world, geniuses are always the minority; the majority are ordinary folks. Longyuan True Immortal had reached his current state through countless fortuitous events and luck. Compared to Ling Chen, a true genius, Longyuan True Immortal is an ordinary person, and the Spirit Root Flower is extremely useful to him.

"This... how could I accept it?"

Longyuan True Immortal hesitated to take it, wary of any possible au ent that Ling Chen might turn hostile if he accepted it, making him fearful of taking it carelessly.

Nonetheless, Ling Chen still pushed the Spirit Root Flower into Longyuan True Immortal’s hands and then casually said, "My injuries are not yet healed, and I might need to stay on Fish-dragon Island for a while. Henceforth, I’ll trouble Sect Master Long to take good care of me."

"Don’t worry, Brother Ling Chen. I assure you, no one will bother you during your recovery, and our Fish Dragon Sect will do its utmost to assist in your recovery,"

Longyuan True Immortal took the Spirit Root Flower, revealing a smile. He suddenly found Ling Chen to be quite commendable. So young and powerful, yet not abusing his power recklessly; it’s rare. He secretly decided to strengthen his relationship with Ling Chen, potentially gaining a reliable ally.

Witnessing Longyuan True Immortal quickly become brotherly with Ling Chen, the others found it somewhat inconceivable. Just moments ago, they were like enemies, fiercely battling, yet suddenly, they’ve become so friendly?

However, for Longyuan True Immortal, there’s no real blood feud between him and Ling Chen. As for Dragon Elephant Prince, defeated by Ling Chen, he was merely a disciple, not his own child. If he offended a strong warrior like Ling Chen, he brought death upon himself; his better days ended, and no one else is to blame.

"Your disciples have been cultivating wicked and unruly ways, creating a mess. I think Your Excellency needs to properly educate them."

"I will! These unruly disciples have done countless bad deeds behind my back; I will strictly deal with them, leaving no leniency!"

"I heard that the island residents have to hand over half their earnings to the Fish Dragon Sect annually; isn’t that too heavy?"

"Too heavy, indeed. We’ll change future taxes on the island to ten percent! Oh no, five percent!"

...

Whenever Ling Chen said something, Longyuan True Immortal nodded like sifting wheat, agreeing gladly to whatever Ling Chen said, immediately making promises, leaving the crowd astonished, feeling as if they were dreaming.
