Chapter 94: Fruitful harvest
(Thanks to Hun Tiancheng's friend for his reward! He also achieved the wish of medesk1's friend to update 6,000 words today. Xinchen Qiaoyan asked everyone for recommendation votes!)
The room is not large in size, but it is decorated very elegantly and freshly. Against the wall is a large bed covered with pink bedding, and a vase is placed on the windowsill with a bouquet of flowers inside.
Jiang Chen looked at it and felt a faint fragrance in the room. Judging from the layout, it looked quite like a girl's boudoir. It must be the room where Shui Yuening lived.
"What did this second lady of the Shui family lead herself to her boudoir? Could it be..." Jiang Chen couldn't help but think about that.
However, he soon realized that he had thought wrongly.
After Shui Yuening greeted Jiang Chen to sit down, Fang pursed his lips and smiled: "This is a temporary house I rented. There are many people and few rooms. It is inconvenient to speak outside, so I have to take you to my bedroom for discussion. I hope you can forgive me!"
Jiang Chen was a little disappointed, but a nervous expression appeared on his face, because he really couldn't figure out what confidential matters had to discuss Shui Yuening.
At this time, Shui Yuening smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, look at your nervous look, you may not suspect that I will be against you!"
When Jiang Chen heard her voice clear and her words were soft, she didn't seem to be malicious. Fang Kuan made up his mind and thought to himself that he might be too much. The Shui family is comparable to the power of the Heavenly Demon Sect in Jingzhou. Although it is only a family and not as many as the Heavenly Demon Sect, there are Nascent Soul cultivators in the clan. They should not take these two foundation-building pills to heart.
So he hurriedly replied: "I had this kind of worry at the beginning, but when I saw the lady's actions, I knew that she should be a kind woman with affection and righteousness, and she was definitely not the kind of person who broke the bridge and killed the donkey after crossing the river."
People like to listen to compliments. Although Shui Yuening's cultivation is much higher than Jiang Chen, her mind is still similar to that of an ordinary 17 or 18-year-old girl. After hearing Jiang Chen's words, she was also full of joy.
She smiled sweetly and said, "My name is Shui Yuening, and I am the second lady of the Shui family. This time I came to Han Kingdom to take charge of the acquisition of the Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill. Unfortunately, the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot enter the Qingyou Valley, otherwise we will go in by ourselves... The Ice Jade Snake King Demon Pill you gave me this time was an unexpected surprise. In this way, even if the number of ordinary Ice Jade Snake Demon Pills cannot be purchased so much, I don't have to worry! You have helped me a lot!"
Jiang Chen listened quietly to her words, but did not ask Shui Yuening what she wanted to buy so many Ice Jade Snake Demon Pills. He knew very well that it would be easy to cause trouble if he casually found other people's secrets.
"By the way! I haven't asked my fellow Taoist yet, your surname Gao's name." Shui Yuening asked with her beautiful big eyes blinking.
"My name is Jiang Chen! I am a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect!" Jiang Chen replied honestly. There is nothing to hide. If Shui Yuening was going to be detrimental to him, ten Jiang Chen would have died long ago.
"Well, your name is pretty good! I asked you to come in today because I thought we should have seen it somewhere, but your face gave me a strange feeling. I think if I had seen you somewhere, I should have a deep impression!" Shui Yuening said with some confusion.
Jiang Chen understood at this time, so he reminded carefully: "Miss Shui, we have indeed met, but we have never met. I wonder if Miss Shui remembers the black market in the Demon City?"
"Ah! Black Market?" Shui Yuening exclaimed and immediately reacted. She covered her mouth with her hands and said in surprise: "So you are the one who exchanged me for Zhuyan Wan!"
"Well! It's exactly what I'm going down!" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"No wonder I feel that your voice is very familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen you! I wear a veil in the black market, and you are also wearing a mask!" Shui Yuening suddenly realized.
After a while, she took out a green teleportation talisman, smiled and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying, "Brother Jiang, for our destiny, I will give you another random teleportation talisman. After crushing it, you can randomly teleport you to a place fifty miles away, which is very suitable for avoiding ill-intentioned people following and escaping! When we came in, I saw that many monks were looking at you, but I was afraid you had to be careful!"
Jiang Chen then woke up. Although he was wearing a mask, the aura of each monk was different. If someone deliberately followed him, it would not be easy to get rid of it. With the protection of the Shui family monks here, others dare not take action, but as soon as they left the town, they were afraid that someone would immediately want to kill someone and seize the treasure. After all, the foundation-building pill has too much temptation for the Qi Refining Cultivator.
Although ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator himself is not afraid, if others rush over and even ask the Foundation Establishing Cultivator for help, then killing himself is like killing an ant. Jiang Chen is not so arrogant that he thinks he can compete with the Foundation Establishing Cultivator.
Jiang Chenfang took the teleportation talisman with a grateful look, thinking that Shui Yuening was a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person. It seemed that she was still a friend worth making.
After the two of them were chilling for a while, Jiang Chen said goodbye, and the purpose of coming here had been achieved. It was time to go back and report important information about the Blood Shadow Sect's upcoming large-scale attack.
******************************************************************
The next afternoon, Jiang Chen had already appeared on Qingmu Mountain. When he recalled the situation after leaving yesterday, he couldn't help but be grateful for Shui Yuening's friendly actions.
As soon as he left the house and before he left the town, a large group of monks followed, including two of them. Just when the followers thought that he could not escape, Jiang Chen crushed the random teleportation talisman sent by Shui Yue Ning and successfully escaped from danger.
Of course, he didn't dare to stay for too long. He knew if anyone had any marks on him. So he immediately used the flying magic weapon Qingbingyi and rushed back as quickly as possible. Finally, he returned to Qingmu City in the early morning of the next day.
After Jiang Chen made a little breathing adjustment, he rushed to the No. 16 Mine Cave without stopping.
Yan Ming was overjoyed when he saw him coming back on time. He was afraid that Jiang Chen would have any problems after going out, but he couldn't explain it to Xiao Jincheng.
After Jiang Chen handed him the waist cards of several disciples of the Blood Shadow Sect and said that he had tortured from one of them. After the news that the Blood Shadow Sect was gathering people from all over the place, Yan Ming couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat.
Before he could ask how Jiang Chen had killed several enemies, he hurriedly sent a note to Xiao Jincheng and informed him of the major event.
After Xiao Jincheng learned the news, he was also very surprised and rushed over and interrogated Jiang Chen in detail. He even asked where he killed these Blood Shadow Sect disciples and whether there was any help from others.
Jiang Chen was also forced to tell the story of himself and the Fei brothers going to Qingyou Valley. Of course, when he explored the cave, he naturally skipped the matter of getting the Ice Jade Snake King Demon Pill, and only said that he used the Ice Jade Snake Demon Pill to exchange some things from the Shui family in the end.
After Xiao Jincheng learned that Jiang Chen had killed the survivor, he couldn't help but sigh, but he understood that Jiang Chen could not escape back to Qingmu Mountain with his captives from the entrance of Qingyou Valley blocked by the Blood Shadow Gate.
He hurriedly went to the city lord's mansion with Jiang Chen to report the matter to the city lord Yuchi Bin, the early stage of the Jindan city lord.
Although Yuchi Bin was shocked after hearing this, he was a mature and polite person. He did not panic and asked for help from the sect. Instead, he immediately mobilized spies from all over the country to inquire about information, and even contacted the spies hidden in the Blood Shadow Sect at the risk of exposure.
As a result, the news from all parties was consistent. The Blood Shadow Sect did mobilize a large number of personnel from branches from various places to Qingmu Mountain. Although most of them were cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the number of people had reached thousands. And it was still increasing further.
After Yuchi Bin did not hesitate anymore, he immediately ordered all the mines on the Qingmu Mountain line to enter an emergency preparedness state. At the same time, he sent people to return to the sect to seek help overnight. In an instant, Qingmu Mountain was full of vigilance and the storm was about to come.
Jiang Chen was also highly commended by Yuchi Bin. This uncle from the Jindan stage even gave him a high-level magic weapon, Blood Crystal Shield. The shield was crystal clear and blood-red. It is said to have penetrated into the essence of the foundation-building cultivator, and has extremely strong defense power. It can withstand the full-strength attack of the Great Perfection Cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. This is a very powerful defensive magic weapon for ordinary Qi Refining Stage disciples.
When he returned to the No. 16 Mine Cave on Qingmu Mountain again, he saw that all the disciples in the cave had been mobilized.
Originally, there were two shifts on duty, but now it has been changed to three shifts on duty and one shift on duty. All the restrictions in the mine have been opened, and everyone’s face is filled with worries. After all, after the war begins, it is a question mark to see how many of these low-level disciples can survive.
Jiang Chen returned to his room, sat on the bed, and relaxed his muscles and bones.
Although the situation is tense now, he is not very worried. After all, the overall strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect is still slightly stronger than that of the Blood Shadow Sect, and Qingmu Mountain is also a key defense area. There are a large number of cultivators stationed, and reinforcements from the sect will arrive within a few days.
In this case, he believed that the head of the Blood Shadow Sect would not hit the iron plate with one head. Maybe it would not be possible to give up the attack plan because of this. After all, how could a person who could rise from the Han country where the original Demon Sect was the dominant family of the Heavenly Demon Sect be a reckless man?
This trip to Qingyou Valley made me huge gains. I not only got three foundation-building pills, but also obtained a batch of magic weapons and spirit stones. I also reached a cooperation agreement with the Fei brothers to solve the problem of supplying my elixir materials.
Although this way, I need to spend more time on elixir refining. But I can no longer worry about purchasing medicinal materials and selling elixirs, which saves a lot of trouble.
If nothing big accident happened, I would have been sure to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage within a few years and successfully build the foundation.
Jiang Chen took out the storage bag again at this time. When he went back to Qingyou Valley, he killed six monks and obtained six storage bags. Due to the tight time, he didn't have time to take a closer look. Now he can clean up.
After more than half an hour of cleaning, Jiang Chenfang let out a long sigh and showed joy.
