Soon, Feng Chen returned, first handing the packages he was carrying to Shen Yue, and then preparing to exchange source crystals for five hundred years of peach blossom wine.
"Wait!"
Shen Yue called out to him.
Feng Chen turned to look at Shen Yue, asking with a puzzled expression, "Is there anything else?"
"The boss is back. He told me to tell you to go see him when you return," Shen Yue said, pointing towards the backyard.
Upon hearing that the boss wanted to see him, Feng Chen hesitated, glanced at the five-hundred-year-old peach blossom wine, and suddenly slapped himself.
"I actually hesitated between the wine and the boss. I'm such a terrible person!"
With that, he darted off towards the backyard, leaving Shen Yue staring blankly at his retreating figure.
"Pfft!"
Shen Yue chuckled, murmuring, "How can this person be so amusing?"
...
When Feng Chen arrived in the backyard, he saw Gu Changsheng standing in front of a large cauldron. The cauldron had three legs and two handles, with thunder patterns adorning its body and legendary immortal birds and beasts such as true dragons and phoenixes carved around it. When Feng Chen saw this cauldron, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Feng Chen walked to Gu Changsheng's side and noticed that the cauldron was filled with a red liquid. This liquid resembled blood, but unlike ordinary blood, it was boiling and emitting heat.
"Boss, are you... having hot pot?" Feng Chen pointed at the cauldron, hesitated, and then asked.
Gu Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Take off your clothes."
"Oh... ah?"
Feng Chen subconsciously agreed, but the next moment he realized something was wrong. He looked at Gu Changsheng in shock and asked, "Boss, did you just tell me to take off my clothes?"
"Otherwise?" Gu Changsheng retorted, then shook his head and sighed, "So young, yet already hard of hearing."
"..." Feng Chen.
This isn't about being hard of hearing, is it? The problem is that you're asking me to take off my clothes! If Shen Yue asked me to take them off, that would be fine, since she's a beautiful woman, and I've seen her and touched her before, so showing her is just reciprocating. But boss, we're both men, is it appropriate for you to ask me to take off my clothes?
Hiss!
Suddenly, Feng Chen thought of a shocking idea. He hadn't seen the boss get close to any women for so long, and he didn't even pay much attention to Shen Yue, the only woman in the tavern, but he seemed quite interested in this old man like himself. Could it be that the boss has... homosexual tendencies?
At the thought of this, Feng Chen's body trembled uncontrollably. He carefully said, "Boss, although I can't engage in sexual activity because of my cultivation technique, I don't like men either. If you really like that kind of thing, I can find you a few guys more handsome than me at the Contending Beauty Brothel, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
The Contending Beauty Brothel is the most famous pleasure quarter in Flame City. There, whether your preferences are for men, women, or even non-humans, they can satisfy you. It's the number one brothel in the Fire Cloud Ancient Star. According to what Feng Chen knew, that unscrupulous Taoist priest seemed to be a regular there.
Truly tarnishing the image of the Taoist sect!
When Gu Changsheng heard Feng Chen's words, his eyes widened, and he cursed, "Why are you saying so much when I just told you to take off your clothes? You like men, do you? I'll send you to find men later."
Feng Chen shrank his neck, but he still breathed a sigh of relief. The boss getting angry meant that he was wrong. That's a relief.
"Boss, just tell me straight, why exactly do you want me to take off my clothes? If you don't explain it clearly, I won't dare to!" Feng Chen said, feeling wronged.
Gu Changsheng saw that he was still being a coward, so he didn't bother with him anymore. Instead, he looked at the boiling blood in the cauldron and said, "Didn't I say three years ago that I would help you resolve the side effects of the Dragon God Mystic Art based on your performance? The blood in this cauldron in front of you is true dragon blood. After you absorb it, the bloodline in your body will be converted into a true dragon bloodline, and then the side effects of the Dragon God Mystic Art will be eliminated, but..."
Before Gu Changsheng could finish speaking, Feng Chen had already stripped off all his clothes and stood in front of the cauldron, saying, "Boss, I'm ready, let's start!"
"..."
Couldn't you have waited for me to finish speaking? Oh well, even if I had said the rest, it would have been unavoidable. Let this kid experience it for himself.
"After you get in, use the Dragon God Mystic Art with all your strength, otherwise..."
"Plop!"
"Ah... it's so hot... so hot... no, I want to get out..."
Feng Chen jumped into the boiling dragon blood before Gu Changsheng could finish speaking again. After he activated the Dragon God Mystic Art, the scalding dragon blood began to enter his blood vessels and meridians through his pores, and then began to circulate according to the Dragon God Mystic Art's cycle.
But the scalding dragon blood was scorching his body, causing him unbearable pain. He wanted to jump out of the dragon blood, but the cauldron suddenly condensed two spiritual energy hand seals and pressed his whole body into the dragon blood, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get out.
"Haha, long time no see, Dragon Wu kid, Grandpa Cauldron has missed you so much."
At this moment, a voice came from the cauldron.
"Ugh... what... Dragon... Dragon Wu... my name is... Feng Chen!"
Feng Chen said with difficulty.
The cauldron wanted to say something, but Gu Changsheng stopped it.
"Alright, he is Feng Chen, not Dragon Wu."
"Okay!" The cauldron was slightly regretful. It naturally knew that Feng Chen was the reincarnation of Dragon Wu, but reincarnated in the mortal realm, he wouldn't be able to awaken his memories of his previous life in this life. The current Feng Chen is a brand new individual, only his appearance and the cultivation technique he practices are the same as Dragon Wu's.
The cauldron was naturally Gu Changsheng's Emperor weapon, the Longevity Cauldron. Only the Longevity Cauldron could bear the true dragon blood of a peak True Immortal, because the current Longevity Cauldron had already grown to the level of an Immortal Emperor weapon. This was still because Gu Changsheng hadn't catalyzed it, it all depended on the Longevity Cauldron cultivating by itself by Gu Changsheng's side.
"Boss, it hurts so much... should we just forget about it?"
Feng Chen still wanted to beg for mercy.
Gu Changsheng glanced at him indifferently and said, "This is the consequence of you not listening to me."
Originally, Gu Changsheng wanted to say, "Otherwise, I'll give you a Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill to make you completely pain-free," but this kid jumped in before he finished speaking. Who can he blame for that?
"That's what you say, but it still hurts a lot!" Feng Chen's face was twisted with pain at this time.
"Instead of wasting energy talking, you should concentrate on running the Dragon God Mystic Art," Gu Changsheng said.
Seeing that it was impossible to get out, Feng Chen closed his eyes and began to concentrate on running the Dragon God Mystic Art. Under his concentration, he could indeed feel the pain lessening, so he continued to increase his concentration until he completely entered a state of closed-door cultivation.
Gu Changsheng watched as the dragon blood in the cauldron slowly entered Feng Chen's body. At the current rate, it would be enough for Feng Chen to completely absorb the dragon blood in a month.
Gu Changsheng summoned Shen Yue.
Shen Yue came to the backyard and stared curiously at Feng Chen in the cauldron.
Gu Changsheng did tell Shen Yue some things. After Shen Yue heard them, her face turned red.
Gu Changsheng smiled and said, "If you are unwilling, then I will have to let him go to the Contending Beauty Brothel."
"No, Boss, I am willing!" Shen Yue said quickly.
After saying that, Shen Yue lowered her head with a red face, she said, "I once chased him down, but not only did he not kill me, he also let me go, and even saved me. He has a life-saving grace to me, I am willing to help him."
"Haha, that's good, he saw you naked back then, now you have a chance to see him back, you take good care of him!"
Gu Changsheng laughed and left.
After confirming that Gu Changsheng had left, Shen Yue quietly floated to the front of the cauldron, she licked her red lips and murmured, "The boss is right, he not only saw me naked, but also touched me, it is right for me to see him now."
After saying that, she looked firmly at Feng Chen.
"Why is only a head exposed?"
Shen Yue saw that Feng Chen's body was covered in dragon blood, and she couldn't see anything at all, and she was a little regretful.
"Little girl, what do you want to see, Grandpa Cauldron will help you lift him up, I guarantee you can see it clearly."
Suddenly, the Longevity Cauldron spoke again.
"Wow, a ghost!"
Shen Yue was suddenly startled, a talking cauldron, she had never seen one before.
"A ghost? That thing is worthy of being compared with Grandpa Cauldron? Grandpa Cauldron only needs to shake once, and all the heavens and worlds will tremble three times."
The Longevity Cauldron said disdainfully!
"You are... this cauldron?" Shen Yue finally confirmed that it was the cauldron that was speaking.
"Nonsense, this Grandpa Cauldron is the famous Longevity Cauldron, my master is the Human Race Holy Emperor, Longevity Great Emperor!"
The Longevity Cauldron said bombastically.
"What?"
Shen Yue was stunned when she heard the Human Race Holy Emperor, Longevity Great Emperor.
"Could it be that the boss is the Longevity Great Emperor?" Shen Yue couldn't believe it, that kind boss who looked like a kind neighbor was actually the legendary Human Race Holy Emperor, Longevity Great Emperor.
"Can't believe it, right? You don't think about it, besides my master... uh, there are still a few people who can take out true dragon blood, but that's not important, those are all my master's subordinates, anyway, you just need to know that my master is very awesome, of course, Grandpa Cauldron is also very awesome."
The Longevity Cauldron said shamelessly, after saying that, it was waiting for Shen Yue to praise it, but Shen Yue was already stunned, how could she have time to praise it.
"So boring!"
She didn't even praise Grandpa Cauldron!
