Tales Of Demons And Gods - The Rise Of Chen Long

I got home and everyone cultivating in their rooms. I can feel Dad has broken through 3-star black gold. Uncle just broken through 1-star black gold. And my big brother 4-star gold rank.

"Hmmm, pretty good!" i told myself. "I better train harder. I should skip school for a week and focus on getting stronger."

I locked myself in my room to cultivate. My room is pretty big about 700 square meters with it's own bathroom. Its like a small house.

I finished concucting a bone reforming pill. I am so scared to take this. This pill will continue to break and mend the bones making it stronger than steel. The pain will be indescribable. The downpart of the pill is you have you have to remain conscious or you die.

I started to concuct some pain killers. I strengthen my resolve. I took the pills with shaking hands.

I waited for almost an hour. I started to think the pill was a dud.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The pain surged throughout my body. From my skull to down my toes, everything was breaking.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!

The bones started to mend and my pain started to subside. All bones are healing so fast. All bones healed and then...

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

The pain came back harder, the headache, migraine. It feels like getting shot in the head. It feels like every bone in my body was being pounded by a sledgehammer. Then it started to mend again.

This cycle of pain throughout the whole night.

In the morning, i was still consius. It has been an hour since the las cycle. It seems like it is over. I have no more strength to move even a bit. I started to loose consciousness. Then everything just turned dark.

I woke up and found myself in bed, cleaned too. I looked around and saw that it's still morning.

My older brother came in...

"Hey bro! Your awake. That was some nasty pill you've taken! Father was pissed when the doctor finished diagnosing you."

"How long was i out?" i asked

"About 3 days, and you have a few visitors. That girl named Xiao Ning'er visit you everyday. And a person named Nie Li and his group was asking about you too!" he said

"Shit! I forgot about that. I gotta get to school!" I said hurriedly while getting up from bed.

"Woah there buddy! You are already excused for the week! Dad will see you after lunch so prepare for the worst bro. Dad's not happy!"

After he left i pulled out an interspacial ring from a secret compartment by the bed. I learned to hide things like a ninja. I have so many interspacial rings hidden within the room.

I close my eyes and pulled out a detoxifying spirit pill, soul ȧssembling pill and spiritual enhancing pill. I started to meditate and use Heavenly God tactics, then War god tactics, then Void god tactics and finally Heavenly scarlet Lightning tactics.

Now my body is more that my soul force, it became imbalanced.

By the time I finished, it was lunch time.

"Time to face #the man!" I said to myself

I had one of the servant to deliver an envelope for me every week to the alchemy ȧssociation so i keep my quota up to date. I also have them buying all the purple haze grass once a week and filled a couple of interspacial ring.

During my absence from school, I heard that Nie Li defamed the sacred family when they found one of the sacred family inscription was fraudulent copy of another. I also found out that Nie Li still did the horned sheep hunting to make money.

A month later...

I was in my room with Nie Li and friends. Xiao Ning'er is there too.

"Here Nie Li, this is a gift for defeating Shen Yue a couple of days ago!" I threw him a silver rank armor from my interspacial ring.

"This armor will protect you from silver rank and below!" i said

"Hey no fair! How come he gets one!" -Lu Piao

"You have to accomplish something in order to be rewarded!" i said

I looked at Ning'er. She looked bummed out and jealous of Nie Li.

She thanked me and was blushing alot.

"Wha-?! Soul ȧssembling Pill. Where did you get that!" Nie Li asked

"I made it. I found the recipe from the ancient books behind you. I also learned alchemy from those books" i said while everyone was wide eyed from shock.

"So, Nie Li wasn't the only one who can read ancient languages" - Du Ze

Nie Li went towards me. "Chen Long! You said that I can ask you if i need anything right? i nodded and he continued. "I know it asking alot, but i need some financial backing. I need 20 million worth of demon crystals and bottles of your soul ȧssembling pills!"

"Nie Li! You are going to far! That is something you~!" -Ning'er. I stopped Ning'er from continuing by raising my hand which sybolize to stop.

"Nie Li..may i know to what you are going to do with the money?" i asked

He nodded. "Just buying herbs. Think about it as an investment. I will pay you back in the future." he said

I act as a troubled man. I probably win best actor. I stand up and taken a ring from one of my secret compartments.

Everyone had their jaw dropped. There are rare pills that they haven't even heard of.

"Chen Long! What is your level in alchemy?" Nie Li asked. I showed him my liscence token. He was shocked that i was already a master class.

"People in the divine family is full of geniuses!" Nie Li said

"No! There are no geniuses, just plain old hard work and the sources available to you. The expectation of people is the drive to push us thru breakthrough in cultivation." i said

"So, how high is your strength?" - Lu Piao

"I will tell you mine if you tell me yours. Don't worry, i have a seal array around my room. This room is sound proof." - said

Everyone agreed.

Xiao Ning'er >>>> 1-star silver rank

Nie Li >>>>>>> 2-star bronze rank

Du Ze >>>>>>> 5-star bronze rank

Chen Long >>> 3-star silver rank

Nie Li's group have their jaw dropped.

"Y-you and her are already silver rank!" God is not fair! I thought I was a genius but a frog in the well.!" - Lu Piao

"Hahaha! Don't worry so much. You never know, you probably surpass me soon!" I said. I kept my real strength hidden. I am actually really a 5-star silver rank. I will breakthrough the gold rank soon.

"I thought I finally caught up to you! But i guess i have to train more!" - Ning'er

"When are you going to break off your engagement?" i asked Ning"er

She blushed. "Aah~...a month from now on the exams. Shen Fei is getting annoying and very possesive lately cause I am hanging out with Nie Li."

"That's Right! I'm getting the anger of Shen Fei cause he thinks i was making moves on her! I have to charge you!" he said to me.

"Hahaha! Take it out of the excess!" as i laugh

"Well, i already an enemy of the sacred family. I might as well earn some while im at it!" Nie Li joked.

"Oh! Everyone, make sure you keep your cultivation hidden, there are spies from the dark guild in every family. Some commoners are also spies, so be careful of release of information."

Everyone was shocked excluding Nie Li. He ia confused to how I know things. He is loosing his confidence and think this is an alternate world, because i don't exist on his past.

Awhile later, we all said our goodbyes. And they all left for home.

I was planning on reading some books in the family library, when i saw him with his friend on the table reading a map. I sneakily went behind them to get a better look at the map. After memorizing, I yelled out.

BOO!

EEEEEEEEE!

"Hey bro! how's it going?" as i smiled

He quickly folded the map and hide it in his pocket. "Long! Why would you do that! I almost ripped the map!"

"It was a joke! Oh yeah, you guys acreamed loudly i don't know who is the one ho screamed like a girl! hehehe!"

"Jackass! Oh I forgot to introduce you!"

"Lanruo! This obnoxious person here is my brother Chen Long!" he said.

"Hiya!" i greeted her

"Hey little bro! This here is my childhood friend, Huyan Lanruo!"

"Oh! He look just like you only shorter. It's a minnie me version of you!" - Lanruo

She was on her way towards me to give me a hug, when she was stopped by my big bro ny pulling her ponytail.

Linjian continued dragging her out the door.

"See you later little bro!" he said while waving and dragging Lanruo out. Lanruo was struggling while being dragged.

Since i now know where the treasure is. It is time to prepare. I have to be back here when the expedition starts.

I went to the armor room and swipped a gold level armor, swords, crossbows and arrows.

At dinner, I asked my dad that i'm gonna be going to the hunting grounds for 3 days starting tomorrow. It's an off day of school anyways. They agreed.

The next morning, I started my journey to hunt down the Shadow Devil to be my first demon spirit.
