After leaving the Purple Cloud City, Jiang Chen started to think about another
city of the Jiangs.
He was going to keep doing this instead of taking adventures before the start
of the Title Battle.
The ultimate goal of adventures was to develop his abilities, including the
improvement of his state and the strengthening of his mentality.
With his current situation, nowhere else could bring him more improvements
than the Jiangs’ territory.
As to his mentality, it would be okay for him to stay the same since he had
experienced too many dangerous situations and faced death too many times.
Besides, after becoming Venerable, the improvement of state depended a lot
on chances.
Although he had the holy pulse, he would still need surefooted practice.
The flawless divine body he had got was the best example.
I still have more than half a year. As long as I can become Celestial
Venerable, I won’t fear anything, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
Suddenly, he stopped to gaze ahead.
At a peak not far away stood an attractive figure.
He was still in the wildness. This was still a dangerous zone. He couldn’t be
too careful.
That person flew towards him after perceiving his gaze.
Jiang Chen didn’t move. That person was a Celestial Venerable. He would in
no way be able to escape.
In addition, that person didn’t seem aggressive or threatening to him.
When there were about only 600 miles between them, Jiang Chen saw her
face.
She was very beautiful, and very cold. She had a great body and a pretty
face.
And her beauty was not commonly seen. She had her own character.
She looked very cool when she was wearing a poker face.
“Jiang Moliang from the Jiangs.”
She introduced herself after stopping about 60 miles away from Jiang Chen.
“What do you want?”
“The chieftain has ordered me to accompany you during your journey, as the
coordinator between you and those cities,” said Jiang Moliang.
Jiang Chen tumbled to the fact. Things would get more convenient for him
indeed if there was a coordinator.
He wouldn’t have to negotiate with the lord of each city where he reached. He
could just let her handle it.
The thing was Jiang Chen didn’t believe the Jiangs had such a good heart.
“You are here to spy on me, aren’t you? You don’t have to do this. According
to the blood oath I took, if I collect or transfer the Jiangs’ resources, the blood
oath will take away my life,” Jiang Chen said.
“I’m not spying on you. We just want to make things easier. It will take you
more than half a year. The chieftain doesn’t want any conflicts to arise.”
Jiang Moliang said, “Most importantly, the Jiangs have enemies in the Eight
Divinities Territory, too. They will try everything they can to kill you, so that
Young Master Jiang Zhe will be affected by your death.”
“In other words, you will stay with me no matter what happens, won’t you?”
Jiang Chen asked straightforwardly.
“Yes,” Jiang Moliang said firmly.
“Fine. Fine. Anyway, there was another woman, also a Celestial Venerable,
who protected me, and she can’t come with me,” Jiang Chen said helplessly.
He certainly wouldn’t believe her so easily. The Jiangs would be more than
happy to see him killed.
He assumed it was only because the Jiangs wanted to steal something from
him.
For example, the tactical formation to plunder the spirits of the universe, the
formula of the heaven elixir or any other methods he would use in his practice.
Let’s see you are able to do it or not, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
In this way, the two started the journey together.
“You can tell me first what resources you need next,” Jiang Moliang said.
“I have no idea yet,” Jiang Chen said.
“No problem. Just tell me when you know.” Jiang Moliang didn’t care too much
whether he was telling the truth.
Comparing with the other members of the Jiangs, this woman seemed a lot
calmer before Jiang Chen.
As an excellent alchemist, Jiang Chen had intended to refine two heaven
elixirs so that he could achieve the late stage of Spiritual Venerable as soon
as possible.
He would need two because this kind of elixir was quite special.
He had to take two at once to make them work.
Taking only one would be very risky.
This heaven elixir was called Yin Yang Nature Elixir!
Besides that, Jiang Chen was going to deploy a tactical formation to create
thunders, too, in order to practice the Nine Clouds Divine Lightning Formula.
However, he had got a problem.
He was still affected by the Jiangs’ constraint.
The formula of the Yin Yang Nature Elixir had been lost. And the spiritual
herbals needed to produce it were extremely valuable.
He would need five spiritual herbals, but the Jiangs only had three.
Since he had to take everything that he asked for immediately, the Jiangs
wouldn’t give him all of the three spiritual herbals.
Although they agreed they would find the other two herbals for him, Jiang
Chen knew they absolutely wouldn’t do it.
That was what the Jiangs were happy to see. They wouldn’t offer Jiang Chen
any help as long as it didn’t go against the blood oath.
“Where are we going?”
Jiang Moliang asked him.
“Don’t you know it?” Jiang Chen thought this woman was quite prudent, since
she had realized they weren’t heading for the direction that they were
supposed to go.
“The Purple Cloud City said you would go to the Blood Dragon City. That’s
why I waited there and finally met you,” Jiang Moliang said.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said, “Can’t I change my destination?”
A coldness flashed in Jiang Moliang’s eyes, but it was only a flash.
“Of course, you can,” she said.
“Well, good.”
Jiang Chen didn’t explain to her where he was going. He just kept flying
ahead.
“Isn’t this your first time in the Eight Divinities Territory?” Jiang Moliang said in
a skeptical tone.
She wanted to confirm whether he really knew the way or he was just flying
randomly.
“Take it easy. I’d done a lot of investigation before I came here.”
Jiang Chen had waited for two weeks before he came to the Eight Divinities
Territory, because he had been preparing for this very moment.
He had learned very well the division of the forces in the Eight Divinities
Territory. In addition, he had made a tool to explore treasures.
Wherever the Jiangs were keeping their resources, even if they were kept in a
spiritual storage ware, he would be able to know it through the tool.
Another three or four hours later, Jiang Moliang saw a stone mountain below
by accident. And she realized where they were going.
“Are you going to the Treasure City?” she said.
“Yes. You don’t have what I want, so I have to buy them,” Jiang Chen said.
“But the Jiangs don’t have a division in the Treasure City. How will you pay…”
Jiang Moliang suddenly stopped, since she already knew the answer to her
question.
She looked towards Jiang Chen, who was smiling at her.
She was the one who would pay for him.
If you want to learn things from me, pay me tuition first, Jiang Chen thought.
As to whether she could learn something, he wouldn’t guarantee it.
“It won’t be a problem as long as it’s within the Jiangs’ ability,” Jiang Moliang
said after thinking.
“Limitless and unconditional,” Jiang Chen repeated.
“What if you want to buy a Doctrine Artifact? You want the Jiangs to sell a city
to pay for you?” Jiang Moliang wasn’t very happy with him.
“That will go against the blood oath. I can only buy what I can consume. So, if
what I can consume requires you to sell a city, you will have to sell a city,”
Jiang Chen said.
Jiang Moliang seemed to be struggling, but later, she suddenly said, “Okay.”
“I know the Jiangs are very powerful, but if you try to stop the chambers of
commerce to sell valuable commodities to me, that will also go against the
blood oath,” Jiang Chen went on.
Jiang Moliang, who had agreed to his request, suddenly stopped to stare at
him coldly.
“What? Anything wrong?” She seemed funny to Jiang Chen. And he was
fearless.
