Ch 335: Creation Formless Pill
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a stirring in his heart upon hearing this. He knew very well that as a major power, the Wanbao Sect had no shortage of alchemists.
Since they were so eager to seek external assistance, then this pill must be extraordinary. Jiang Chen’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
“I am an Earth-Grade Alchemist, but I am very curious, what kind of elixir are you trying to refine?” Jiang Chen asked bluntly. His gaze was fixed on Wan Shengjian, trying to read more information from the other’s expression.
Wan Shengjian’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing that Jiang Chen was an Earth-Grade Alchemist.
One should know that although Earth-Grade Alchemists are not as powerful as Heaven-Grade Alchemists, they are still rare existences within the Great Ming Dynasty.
Even within the entire Wanbao Sect, the number of Earth-Grade Alchemists would not exceed the fingers on one hand.
If they could obtain this person’s assistance, the success rate of refining the elixir they needed would be greatly increased.
“Oh? You are actually an Earth-Grade Alchemist!” Wan Shengjian’s tone was full of surprise and respect. “To think that we could meet such an expert today, it is truly the Wanbao Sect’s fortune.”
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said modestly, “Senior is too kind, I am just doing what I can. But I still want to know, what exactly are you trying to refine that requires so many alchemists to complete together?”
“You will naturally know what kind of elixir it is when we are refining it.”
Wan Shengjian smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of mystery. “As long as you are willing to lend a hand, our Wanbao Sect will definitely reward you handsomely.”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen smiled calmly and said, “Alright! Please, Vice Sect Leader, tell me truthfully where to go and how to refine it later.”
“No problem,” Wan Shengjian nodded in agreement, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
He knew Jiang Chen’s caution and wisdom, and this attitude was exactly what they needed.
The two then discussed the specific details of the reward, including the amount of remuneration, the right to choose materials first, and the distribution rules after successfully refining the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
Jiang Chen made several reasonable suggestions, and Wan Shengjian agreed to them one by one. In the end, the two reached a consensus, and Wan Shengjian left satisfied.
As Wan Shengjian’s figure gradually disappeared from sight, Jin Yin looked at his back with burning eyes and said with lingering fear, “He is so strong. I didn’t expect that there would be such a strong person among humans. Master, you must be careful.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Although his tone was relaxed, a hint of contemplation flickered in his eyes.
Just now, he had seen a scene of the future through 【Reverse Knowledge of the Future】. The elixir that Wanbao Sect was going to refine this time was called “Creation Formless Pill,” which was a Heaven-Grade ━ Middle Rank elixir. After taking it, it could conceal the Heavenly Secrets and increase the possibility of breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm.
This kind of elixir was a treasure that any cultivator pursuing ultimate power would dream of.
Jiang Chen’s heart stirred, he knew that the value of this elixir far exceeded ordinary Heaven-Grade Pills.
The ability to conceal the Heavenly Secrets meant that the taker could avoid the scrutiny of the Heavenly Dao at a critical moment, thereby gaining a greater chance of success when breaking through bottlenecks.
This was simply priceless for those powerhouses who yearned to break through to a higher realm.
Ever since Wan Shengjian lost face last time, he had spent a great price to refine this elixir in order to increase the Wang family’s say in the Wanbao Sect.
However, what he did not expect was that after the pill was completed, it was directly snatched away, which made him almost vomit blood and die.
This scene made Jiang Chen smile slightly, he knew that Wan Shengjian’s encounter might be an opportunity that he could take advantage of.
“Perhaps, I can also plot for this elixir.” Jiang Chen stroked his chin, secretly pondering in his heart.
“That kid actually hid in the Wanbao Sect, what a good plan.” Outside the Wanbao Sect, four men wearing opera masks and black robes looked at the Wanbao Sect with burning eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes.
They stood in the shadows, as if merging with the darkness, exuding a chilling aura.
The leader slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and cold: “This person is no small matter. Two Martial Saint Realm experts from the Lu Royal Residence have capsized in his hands. We must act carefully.”
Another black-robed man snorted, his tone full of disdain: “Hmph, he’s just a rat who borrows a knife to kill. Now that the four of us are in the dark and he is in the open, and we have shielded the Heavenly Secrets of this world, plus the information that the Ten Thousand Spirits Temple has calculated for us, killing him is just like crushing an ant.”
The leader nodded, but still maintained his vigilance: “Although that’s true, we can’t take it lightly. Since Jiang Chen can defeat two Martial Saint Realm experts, he must have something extraordinary about him. We must be extremely cautious in this action to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
One of the black-robed men said in a low voice: “Big brother, you’re right. However, we now have enough information, and with the help of the Ten Thousand Spirits Temple, there shouldn’t be any accidents. As long as we find a suitable opportunity, we can kill him in one fell swoop.”
These four were the top experts ranked fourth on the Great Ming Blacklist ━ the “Four Fiends of Longxi.” They were not only quadruplet brothers, but all were Perfected Dharma Aspect Realm experts, only one step away from the Martial Saint Realm. The cultivation method that the four practiced was the ancient divine skill: “Myriad Demons United Heart Skill.” This skill could not only greatly enhance individual strength, but also allow the four to achieve a state of telepathy and seamless cooperation in battle. When the four joined forces, even a Martial Saint Realm expert would be directly killed by them if caught off guard.
In addition, with the Ten Thousand Spirits Temple shielding the Heavenly Secrets for them and calculating Jiang Chen’s specific information, they believed that killing Jiang Chen was just a matter of grasping. Their confidence was not blind, but based on years of practical experience and a deep understanding of their own strength.
“Let’s go.” One of the Four Fiends of Longxi, the leader, slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and cold. The four quickly restrained their auras, and like ghosts in the night, they quietly walked into the Wanbao Sect.
As a major power, the Wanbao Sect was heavily guarded, but the Four Fiends of Longxi easily avoided all patrols and guards with their superb stealth skills and rich infiltration experience. They were like shadows, shuttling through every corner of the Wanbao Sect, searching for Jiang Chen’s traces.
“Big brother, where do we go first?” One of them asked in a low voice.
The leader responded calmly: “According to the compass that the Ten Thousand Spirits Temple gave us, Jiang Chen should be active near the Alchemy Hall.”
