“Alright, brother-in-law, there are rooms in the backyard where we usually cultivate. Feel free to use them!”
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Long Hongyuan quickly stepped forward and agreed.
Being able to assist Lin Chen at this moment would be an extremely honorable matter for the entire Long family!
Those fools were still waiting in the living room to welcome Lin Chen, unaware that he had already gotten ahead of them!
“Alright then, Mom, Second Aunt, I’ll head to the backyard with Second Uncle first.”
“After I’ve settled Second Uncle, I’ll come find you and introduce you to my girlfriend.”
Lin Chen then looked at his mother and Yang Mei and spoke.
“Mm, good.”
Wang Fang nodded, a faint smile on her face.
Her son had many women around him, but he had never formally introduced one before.
She was naturally filled with anticipation.
“Brother-in-law, Second Uncle, this way please.”
Long Hongyuan was very perceptive, directly changing his address for Lin Yuelong to Second Uncle.
“Seventh Young Master, you mustn’t! How can you call me Second Uncle?”
Lin Yuelong was genuinely surprised by Long Hongyuan’s address.
Good heavens, it was one thing for Lin Chen and Long Yuling to call him Second Uncle, as they would eventually be family.
But Long Hongyuan was the Seventh Young Master of the Long family, and one of Old Master Long’s most favored grandsons!
If he were to call him Second Uncle, wouldn’t that put him in a rather awkward position?
“Second Uncle, you’re being too formal. You are my brother-in-law’s Second Uncle, and we are all family, aren’t we!”
“Since we are family, it’s only natural for me to call you Second Uncle along with my brother-in-law!”
“Wouldn’t you agree, brother-in-law?”
Long Hongyuan said with a fawning tone to both Lin Chen and Lin Yuelong.
It had to be said, it was no wonder this Long Hongyuan could please Old Master Long; his words were indeed skillful!
“Hahahaha, good, good, good, Second Uncle it is then!”
Indeed, after hearing Long Hongyuan’s explanation, Lin Yuelong said no more.
Before long, led by Long Hongyuan, the two deliberately bypassed the crowded main hall and entered the backyard.
This was where the Long family disciples usually practiced their martial arts. However, as it was a special day for the Long family, all members were required to attend, so the area was completely deserted.
“Brother-in-law, Second Uncle, this is my usual cultivation room. Feel free to use it!”
Long Hongyuan led Lin Yuelong to a room and then explained.
“Mm, good.”
“Xiao Chen, what should I do now? Hurry and take out those peerless elixirs!”
Lin Yuelong rubbed his hands together, looking impatient.
He knew that Lin Chen had instigated him to agree to the match with Yang Jian, and now he was bringing him to the backyard cultivation room, undoubtedly to give him some elixirs!
Otherwise, why would he have made such a choice?
“There are no elixirs, I’m just setting up a Spirit Gathering Array for you!”
Without further ado, Lin Chen took out over a dozen spirit stones from his storage bag and, along with array flags, set up a small Spirit Gathering Array in the room.
This Spirit Gathering Array could gather the surrounding spiritual energy. Coupled with the support of spirit stones, the density of spiritual energy was several times that of the outside world!
“This Spirit Gathering Array is not a one-time use. After the spirit stones’ energy is depleted, Seventh Young Master, you can replenish them yourself.”
“Each replenishment only requires one spirit stone.”
“This time, due to the rush, so many spirit stones were used.”
After setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, Lin Chen then instructed Long Hongyuan beside him.
Although this kid had tried to harm Long Yuling before, he was now calling him brother-in-law more enthusiastically than anyone.
If he didn’t give him some benefits, it wouldn’t be fair.
“However, even without spirit stones, it can still gather spiritual energy, just not as effectively.”
“But compared to the outside, it’s definitely much better.”
“Yes, yes, yes, thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law!”
Seeing the spiritual energy density in the room, Long Hongyuan was so ecstatic he almost jumped up.
My goodness, this spiritual energy density was absolutely amazing!
As expected, following Lin Chen, even a sip of soup was definitely more delicious than others’ meat!
These few calls of “brother-in-law” and “Second Uncle” were truly worth it!
“Alright, Second Uncle, you can take the Clear Heart Pill and cultivate here.”
“Given the current spiritual energy density, four hours should be enough for you to break through to the Half-step Nascent Soul realm.”
“Seventh Young Master, someone needs to guard here. Here are two Grade Three Spirit Guiding Pills. I’ll trouble you to do this, how about it?”
Lin Chen then took out two Grade Three Spirit Guiding Pills and handed them to Long Hongyuan.
“Pfft! Grade Three Spirit Guiding Pills?”
Seeing the pills Lin Chen casually took out, Long Hongyuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Good heavens, the pills he casually produced were actually renowned Grade Three pills! How could this be?
One must know that as the Seventh Young Master of the Long family, he usually only received one Grade Two Spirit Guiding Pill per month!
Only during festivals and holidays would Old Master possibly bestow Grade Three Spirit Guiding Pills upon them.
But now? Merely guarding the door earned him two Grade Three pills as a reward. This was truly beyond words!
“Brother-in-law! Don’t worry! Even if my grandfather came, I absolutely wouldn’t let him disturb Second Uncle’s cultivation!”
Immediately, Long Hongyuan assured Lin Chen.
He swore that no matter what, he would complete the task properly!
“Mm, good. Then I’ll go see Old Master now. Second Uncle, keep up the good work!”
After giving his instructions to Lin Yuelong and Long Hongyuan, Lin Chen turned and walked towards the main hall.
As he approached the main hall, he saw a large crowd gathered inside.
And the previously mentioned Yang Jian was in the center of the crowd, looking full of pride.
Beside Yang Jian was a rather lewd old man with squinting eyes, shamelessly ogling the beautiful women attending the banquet.
Even Lin Chen found that lewd gaze disgusting!
What disgusted Lin Chen the most was that the old man’s gaze kept sweeping over his mother and Yang Mei, causing Lin Chen to instinctively clench his fists.
“Xiao Chen is here?”
Seeing Lin Chen return, Lin Xianfeng showed a hint of a smile.
“Dad, who is that person?”
Lin Chen looked at the lewd old man beside Yang Jian, his expression filled with disdain.
At such an old age, to still be so openly lewd was simply a disgrace to old age!
“Hmph, that’s Yang Jian’s master, a Nascent Soul realm expert, Gan Yuanwei!”
Before Lin Xianfeng could speak, Yang Mei, standing beside him, snorted and explained.
