Ch 334: Goodbye Wan Jianxin
Xu Lingsheng saw that Jiang Chen didn’t say much, and continued, “Senior, some of the materials you requested are extremely rare. Even for our Wanbao Sect, we need to collect them from other branch strongholds. However, rest assured, within seven days, we will definitely have all the materials ready.”
Jiang Chen nodded, his tone carrying a hint of indifference: “It doesn’t matter, I’m not in a hurry. As long as you can prepare the materials on time, the reward will naturally not be small.”
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Xu Lingsheng’s eyes. He knew that Jiang Chen was extremely generous. If this transaction could be completed smoothly, the Wanbao Sect would obtain huge benefits.
“Senior, rest assured, we will do our best and live up to your trust,” Xu Lingsheng said respectfully.
Jiang Chen ignored Xu Lingsheng and turned to walk to the window. His gaze passed through the window, looking at the distant horizon, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.
“Go down,” Jiang Chen murmured softly, his tone carrying a hint of gravity.
“Yes!” Xu Lingsheng responded respectfully, then slowly retreated, his movements light and cautious, for fear of disturbing Jiang Chen’s thoughts.
After Xu Lingsheng left, Jin Yin, who had been standing beside him, suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of incomprehension: “Master, why do you need to use these precious materials to exchange for these things? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just snatch them?”
Jin Yin was originally a Dharma Aspect Realm ━ Mid Stage demon, with strong strength and a rather domineering personality.
Since cultivating the 《Flawless Star Sutra》 taught by Jiang Chen, its cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, its aura deep and terrifying, not losing out to a Dharma Aspect Realm ━ Late Stage expert in the slightest.
In its understanding, the strong are respected, and seizing resources is a matter of course.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of profound meaning. He slowly opened his mouth, his tone peaceful but with an unquestionable majesty: “Jin Yin, you don’t know. These things that I took out are useless to me, but they are extremely precious to these people. Similarly, the materials I want to collect are also very rare. If I were to snatch them directly, it would not only attract the pursuit of other human martial artists, but it would also be time-consuming and laborious to collect them.”
He paused, and continued: “In the human world, trading is a more efficient way. Through exchange, we can each get what we need and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Moreover, the Wanbao Sect is the Great Ming’s number one treasure sect, with a vast influence. It is not wise to form a feud with them.”
After hearing Jiang Chen’s explanation, Jin Yin suddenly understood. Although it was powerful, it had not lived in the human kingdom and did not understand some of the rules of human society. In its race, the biggest fist is the only truth. Whoever is stronger can occupy more resources.
“I see, Master is indeed far-sighted,” Jin Yin nodded, his tone carrying a hint of admiration.
“Jin Yin, you must remember that the human world is far more complicated than the demon race. Here, strength is certainly important, but what is more important is how to use strength,” Jiang Chen’s tone was calm, but carrying a hint of teaching.
Hearing this, a trace of thought flashed in Jin Yin’s eyes. It knew that Jiang Chen’s words were not empty talk, but experience gained after careful consideration. It nodded and said respectfully: “Master’s teachings are correct, Jin Yin has been taught.”
Just as Jin Yin was pondering, a Martial Saint Expert slowly walked into the room. This person had starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows, an extraordinary bearing, wearing a green shirt, a simple longsword hanging from his waist, his whole person exuding a sharp sword intent. At first glance, he was not an easy person to deal with.
“Wan Shengjian.” Seeing this person arrive, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but have a thought, secretly vigilant in his heart: “Why would he come here?”
Since Batoru made a big disturbance at Wanbao Sect last time, forcing him into a desperate situation, Jiang Chen had never seen Wan Shengjian again. He didn’t expect that at this moment, Wan Shengjian would appear in front of him again. However, now that Jiang Chen used the Thousand Faces Divine Skill to change his appearance, Wan Shengjian didn’t recognize him, only thinking that he was just a stranger.
“I am Wan Shengjian, Vice Sect Leader of the Wanbao Sect, greetings,” Wan Shengjian said indifferently, cupping his hands towards Jiang Chen, his tone carrying a hint of politeness, but his gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if to see through Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was secretly vigilant in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he returned the salute lightly: “So it is Vice Sect Leader Wan, I have long admired your name.”
Wan Shengjian nodded slightly, then directly asked straightforwardly: “May I ask if you are collecting so many materials, could it be that you want to refine pills?”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen’s heart tightened slightly, but his face remained as calm as water. He smiled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of teasing: “Of course. What’s wrong, when buying materials at Wanbao Pavilion, do I have to ask about the purpose?”
Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Wan Shengjian’s eyes, but his tone remained calm: “You misunderstand. Wanbao Sect has always respected its customers, so naturally it will not interfere with the customer’s private affairs. It’s just that the materials you purchased are extremely rare and the quantity is huge. Our Wanbao Sect came here specifically to ask a question or two out of caution.”
Jiang Chen nodded, his tone carrying a hint of indifference: “I see. But Vice Sect Leader Wan can rest assured, I bought these materials just to refine a pill, and have no other intentions.”
Hearing this, Wan Shengjian’s eyes flickered slightly, his tone carrying a hint of probing: “Oh? I wonder what kind of elixir you want to refine, that requires so many rare materials?”
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of profound meaning: “Vice Sect Leader Wan, I’m afraid it’s not convenient to say more about this, right? After all, the pill recipe is the foundation of an alchemist’s livelihood. If it is leaked, I’m afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.”
Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Wan Shengjian’s eyes, but he quickly returned to calm. He nodded, his tone carrying a hint of politeness: “What you said is true, I was abrupt. In that case, I will no longer ask more questions. However, if you encounter any difficulties in the process of refining pills, Wanbao Sect is willing to provide assistance.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen sneered inwardly. He knew that Wan Shengjian’s words were just polite words, and the real purpose was probably to probe his details. However, he didn’t intend to expose it, but said lightly: “Thank you for Vice Sect Leader Wan’s kindness, if there is a need, I will definitely come and bother you.”
After chatting for a few more sentences, Wan Shengjian revealed his true purpose: “Our Wanbao Sect is going to refine a furnace of pills recently, and urgently needs the help of some alchemists, so we would like to invite you to take action.”
