Chapter 55: Returning Home for New Year

  The airship returned to Imperial Capital in just one day, and all the students quickly went back home. They would have a month-long New Year's holiday.

  When the airship arrived at Imperial City, the Desert Eagle Squad temporarily disbanded. Long Di and the others returned home one after another. After selling a lot of bottles of dan medicine at the Alchemist Guild, Long Ge went back home too, earning a total of 3 million gold coins. Adding to his original 600,000 gold coins, Long Ge now had a total of 3.6 million gold coins. He exchanged 600,000 gold coins for actual gold and transferred the rest to his card.

  Then Long Ge took a flying boat heading for Double Horse Town and went home.

  Arrived at Double Horse Town, and then returned to Longjia Village.

  Long Song returned to the village and caused another stir, as he brought back a whole ring of high-level magic beasts, enough for the villagers to eat for a year!

  Apart from the magic beast, there were also 600,000 gold coins. The Dragon Song was completely defeated in the martial arts arena!

  The villagers were originally very welcoming of Long Ge's return, and now that he has brought back so many things, they are even more delighted!

  Long Song gave three 10-cubic-meter space rings to the village chief and parents, then sent some beautiful clothes to his younger brother and sister, and the whole village suddenly boiled up.

  Then, big feast!

  It feels great to be back home, receiving care and concern from parents and villagers.

  And each family got several thousand gold coins, enough for them to use for dozens of years.

  The happiest thing for Long Song is to see his parents.

  "Our Longge has made a name for himself, casually throwing away 600,000 gold coins!" Xiaoyue praised, then patted Longge's head.

  "Haha, it's all because of your good education as parents!" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Haha, it's been almost a year since we last met, and you've already risen to the 9th level of Qi Infancy? That's really impressive!" Long Wu said.

  "Father, aren't you even more powerful? Now I'm guessing it's already in a state of Qi!" Long Ge said.

  "Haha! Of course, how can I, the father of a genius, not be a genius myself? I've already reached the sixth level of Qi refinement!" Long Wu said proudly.

  "How did you level up so quickly?" Long Song asked in surprise, after all, it's harder to level up the further back you go.

  "I don't know either! Maybe I didn't learn the proper techniques before, but after learning them and accumulating internal energy over the years, my level was suddenly raised. It seems that you still need to work harder to surpass your father, Xiaoxiao!" Long Wu said.

  "Haha! I will surpass you before I'm twelve years old, after all, I'm a genius. You slowed down in your later training." Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Ha ha, good fortune! Last time you gave me that advanced technique, I've also cultivated it and now I've reached the Qi Form level!" The village head said proudly beside him.

  "Haha, Village Chief Uncle, are you thinking of competing with me?" Long Ge said with a sly smile.

  "Heh heh! I wouldn't dare compare with you, you've killed tens of thousands of Qi Infant-level magical beasts in just one year, something I couldn't possibly do!" Village Chief Long Xiao said.

  "Haha, you've never seen a gas-type beast before, have you?" Long Ge took out a level 6 gas-type dead tiger from his ring and placed it in front of the village chief.

  "Ah! What is this? Judging from the hardness of its fur, it's at least a fifth-level beast!" The village chief exclaimed in surprise.

  "To be exact, it's a sixth-level wind-type magical beast. I've killed plenty of these before and have already given them away to others!" Long Song said.

  "Hmph, it's wrong to tell lies. Back then, we had a hard time hunting down those Gas Attribute Magical Beasts, how can you say killing is that easy?" Long Wu scolded.

  "......" Long Song didn't say a word, then took out over a hundred demon cores from the spatial ring, all of which were at the gas-form level!

  Long Wu

  "......" Village Head.

  "I knew our Xiaoxiao wouldn't deceive us, now Xiaoxiao is really formidable!" Little Yue exclaimed from the side, then Long Tian and Mu Xiao Mian in Little Yue's arms also looked at Long Ge and muttered "Brother, awesome!"

  "Hehe, you guys will be awesome too!" Long Ge said, stretching out his hand to pat Xiao Tian and Xiao Mian's heads.

  "Xiao Long Ge, you tell me, how did you manage to do it? You actually killed so many Qi Xing level magical beasts!" Village Head Long Xiao exclaimed at this time.

  "This is normal, I'll just kill whoever!" Long Ge said calmly.

  "So even if I'm a more advanced father than you, I'm still no match for you?" Long Wu said gloomily on the side.

  "Heh heh!" Long Ge laughed but didn't answer, then changed the subject, "This time I came back for New Year's, I also brought an important gift for my younger brother and sister!"

  "What gift?" Long Wu asked.

  "Here it is!" Long Song took out Xiong Wang's magic core from the spatial ring.

  "This..." Long Wu took it in his hand and looked at it, then handed it back to Village Chief Long Xiao with suspicion.

  "This... This is a Qi Bo level demon core!?" The village chief Long Xiao looked at Long Ge with shock.

  "Yes, it was when we went to the Forest of Qiu Lin to train that we killed the Bear King and obtained this. These gas-form creatures are also." Long Ge said calmly.

  "You said you can even kill a beast of the Qi Cauldron level?" Long Wu almost jumped up.

  "Heh heh! That's right, but I also need the help of my teammates!" Long Ge said.

  "Hurry! Tell everyone in our village how you spent this day and made such great progress!" the village chief said.

  Then, Long Song drank the drink while telling about his experiences over the past year, from killing bandits to practicing alchemy in the guild, from new student training to climbing the new list, and finally talking about the trials of Qiu Lin's forest, it was a thrilling tale! However, the villagers next to him listened with relish, especially the little kids, who completely regarded Long Song as their goal and idol!

  The grand feast lasted for three days, and during these three days, the villagers repeatedly chanted the mighty dragon song.

  "Long Ge has become a Master Alchemist and can now refine third-grade elixirs!"

  "I reckon it's not just a guess, I should be able to refine it to fourth-grade!"

  "Dragon Song can kill demon beasts of the Qi Huan level! It's only at the Qi Ying level!"

  "I think it's not, Long Ge is at least a Qi Xing level."

  "Long Ge is so strong!"

  "Yes, I can probably fight against the Empire's Five Great Experts now!"

  “……” Every time he hears others talk about him, Long Song is speechless. He has been praised by the villagers too much, just like a god. After all, they have never seen anyone who can lose 600,000 gold coins at once. They only heard about Long Song's experiences from others' words, so the more they spread, the more divine it becomes!

  Returning to village life is comfortable, perhaps only the feeling of home makes a person feel warm and relaxed, no pressure, no intrigue and deception!

  Long Song no longer rushes to practice at home, because the Five Elements skill is really too fast. If Long Song continues to practice like this, he will reach the Air Form level before school starts, and then he can directly advance to the intermediate department, so he won't be able to be with Long Di and the others. Therefore, Long Song has slowed down his practice speed, and at least waits until after school starts to consider advancing to the intermediate department.

  From the Qi Refining stage to the Qi Condensation stage, as long as your Qi is sufficient, you can ascend. However, advancing from the Qi Condensation stage to the Qi Formation stage after crossing the Two Heavens Tribulation requires enlightenment of Heaven and Earth. At least for now, Long Song doesn't need to enlighten Heaven and Earth, so with sufficient Qi, his advancement will be swift!

  Long Song no longer cultivates much now, so he sometimes plays with his younger brother Long Tian and sister Mu Xiao Mian. The main reason for this return is also for the sake of his younger brother and sister. Although his younger brother and sister already have three attributes and are very talented, cultivating talent requires money. So Long Song brought back this bear king's magic core to let his younger brother and sister absorb and cultivate it. It's worth knowing that a magic core of the Qi Bo level can sell for at least several hundred thousand, so rich young masters with money will purchase them and use them for their own cultivation and absorption.

  This aura-level demon core, although it's only an aura level 2, contains a huge amount of energy inside. Of course, during the absorption process, 95% of the energy in the demon core will be dissipated, but just 5% of that energy is enough for Brother Long Tian and Sister Mu Xiao Mian to absorb and reach the peak of the aura dan level or even the aura infant level. So, this demon core is also for the future, to lay a good foundation for Brother and Sister to enter the Imperial Academy.

  It's New Year's, Long Ge is already six years old and is preparing to advance towards seven years old, while his younger brother and sister are only two years old. They will have to wait until they are three years old before they can start absorbing that level of magical core.

  The feeling of Chinese New Year is great, every household is setting off firecrackers. Now in Longjia Village, there's plenty of money, and the firecrackers are being set off loudly and vigorously!

  In the past, we would kill and eat the wild boars raised at home during Chinese New Year. However, the quality of the wild boars was far inferior to that of the magical beasts given by Long Ge, so every household is eating the high-quality magical beasts this year.

  On New Year's Eve, every household is filled with joy and laughter, accompanied by the loud sound of firecrackers and the fragrance of delicious dishes wafting through the air. Everyone is delighted and happy as they savor the tasty food!

  Long Ge, in just a few short years, brought prosperity to the villagers, making the village chief consider stepping down. However, Long Ge's goal lies beyond the village, embracing endless challenges and becoming the strongest person!

  Long Wu, Xiao Yue, Long Ge, Long Tian and Mu Xiao Mian were sitting around the table eating a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Long Ge and his family ate something special - they had bear paws of the Qi Bo level Xiong Wang, while others could only get one or two catties to make soup, but Long Ge's family could eat and drink freely.

  Long Wu was eating a giant bear's paw, chewing with great relish, and said to Long Song as he ate: "Ha ha! From now on, you must bring back a high-quality magical beast every year! It's really too delicious, too good to eat!"

  "......" Long Ge almost choked on his food, and after taking a sip of bear paw soup, he said, "That's for sure, filial piety to one's father is a must!"

  "Be careful, you too, don't overdo it!" Xiaoyue said to Longge while sipping the delicious soup. "But honestly, this soup is really too good, Xiaoxiao, when you have time, catch a few more and put them in our storage rings for us to enjoy slowly."

  "......" Long Ge could only laugh and say, "Yes, Mother!"

  "I want to eat every day too!" Xiaotian said beside him.

  "Me too! Me too!" said Xiao Mian beside him.

  "Got it!" Long Ge patted his younger brother and sister on the head, "You guys need to eat more and grow up quickly!"

  Hehe! New Year's Eve dinner was spent in a warm and cozy environment, what joy!
