Jiang Chen’s room in the Jiang Family estate.
WHOOSH!
Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
A quick check confird his injuries had fully healed.
The healing effects of his Golden Healing Pill were exceptionally potent.
It could nd ordinary wounds with incredible speed.
But he still found himself frowning.
’Who on earth wants dead?’
He sank into thought.
After a long while, Jiang Chen pulled his mind back to the present.
In truth, he had a good guess. It had to be the Xin Family. He had poisoned Xin Jianren to death; how could Patriarch Xin Gong possibly let that slide?
The Xin Family didn’t dare to start an all-out war with the Jiang Family, not yet.
So, they had resorted to assassinating him.
But Jiang Chen’s life was not so easily taken.
Three Warriors at the Fifth Heaven and one Martial Master at the First Heaven had all been slain by his hand.
’I still need to be more careful.’
For now, Jiang Chen pushed those thoughts aside.
The auction was still three days away, so he was in no rush.
He imrsed himself once more in his alchemy.
Occasionally, he would go out to guide Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling.
He no longer needed to worry about Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling. Both were working hard and progressing rapidly.
They could essentially maintain the Jiang Family’s elixir business on their own.
And given enough ti, the two were certain to beco fine Alchemists.
At the Xin Family estate, Xin Gong was still waiting for news from Xin Fu.
But no news ever ca.
It was the sa the next day.
In that mont, Xin Gong understood. They weren’t coming back.
"Damn it, what the hell happened?"
he angrily demanded of the n he had sent to investigate.
"Patriarch, we’ve searched all of Hanwu City but found no trace of them."
"We only found that a fierce battle took place in a small grove to the east, but a fire burned away all the evidence."
"However, we did find a charred thigh bone at the scene."
"Also, Jiang Chen of the Jiang Family is still alive."
The scout reported everything he had found.
He then presented the thigh bone from the grove to Xin Gong.
"What can I tell from a single thigh bone?"
"Damn it! Take it away and throw it out!"
Xin Gong roared in frustration. His n had vanished without a trace; he was in no mood to inspect a bone.
"Useless fools!"
Seething with rage, Xin Gong slamd his hand on his chair, utterly fuming.
After driving the clansman out,
Chen Ran spoke up. "Patriarch, I fear the worst for them."
"Perhaps we all underestimated that Jiang Chen."
Xin Gong retorted, displeased. "He’s just a re brat at the Warrior Third Heaven. What could he possibly do?"
"The man I sent, Xin Fu, was a master at the Martial Master First Heaven, and he had three clansn at the Warrior Fifth Heaven with him."
"With so many people, you expect to believe they couldn’t kill one Jiang Chen?"
After his n had investigated again, he was surprised to learn that Jiang Chen’s cultivation had reached the Warrior Third Heaven.
But he still refused to believe that Xin Fu and the others were truly dead.
Ling Xuan also spoke up.
"Patriarch, there’s sothing strange about this matter."
"But the fact remains that our n are not coming back, while Jiang Chen is alive and well."
"This shows that Jiang Chen is not to be trifled with."
In truth, there was sothing else he left unsaid.
Xin Gong himself had tried to kill Jiang Chen before and failed. Xin Fu’s cultivation was lower than Xin Gong’s, so it wasn’t all that surprising that he couldn’t kill Jiang Chen either.
But he didn’t dare say it out loud for fear of bruising Xin Gong’s ego.
Xin Gong’s face was ashen. The Xin Family had lost yet another expert.
He sat on his chair, seething with hatred.
"Keep an eye on that brat. Kill him the mont you get a chance."
He would never give up on killing Jiang Chen.
The mory of Jiang Chen personally handing him the Golden Healing Pill, which he then fed to his son, causing his son to die from poison... just thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.
After making the arrangents, Ling Xuan said, "Patriarch, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion auction is in two days. They’ve already sent an invitation."
"I hear there will be precious treasures this ti, including a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill to be auctioned on-site."
SWOOSH!
Xin Gong shot up from his chair.
He stared at Ling Xuan, his face a mask of astonishnt.
"You’re saying a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill is up for auction?"
"Is that true?"
His breathing grew heavy.
The Foundation Strengthening Pill was, at minimum, a Second Grade elixir.
It could even provide a significant boost to his Martial Master Cultivation.
And this one was Purple Gold Quality! He thrilled at the very thought.
Ling Xuan’s eyes also burned with feverish excitent.
"That’s right. The news ca directly from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion. It’s confird."
Xin Gong took a sharp breath.
"A Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill... This ti, the Xin Family must win it, no matter the cost."
"As long as I get that Foundation Strengthening Pill, I can break through to the Martial King Realm in one fell swoop! Whether it’s the Bai Family or the Jiang Family, I’ll show them my true power!"
"In Hanwu City, there will only be the Xin Family."
His eyes were filled with the desire to unify Hanwu City under his rule.
Indeed, the news of the Foundation Strengthening Pill sent shockwaves through Hanwu City, causing a massive stir.
The news of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion auctioning the Foundation Strengthening Pill spread throughout Hanwu City almost overnight, even reaching ancient cities beyond its borders.
Countless factions were drawn out by the announcent.
Inside the Jiang Family’s main hall.
Everyone’s breathing was heavy with anticipation.
Finally, Jiang n was the first to speak.
"Brother, Hanwu City is in an uproar. Rumor has it that a Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill is up for auction."
"That Foundation Strengthening Pill is the absolute best choice for raising one’s cultivation."
"We must win it at the auction."
Even Jiang n’s eyes were filled with longing.
If he could obtain a Foundation Strengthening Pill, his own cultivation would see a substantial increase.
The very thought made his blood boil with excitent.
The others voiced their agreent one by one, all of them clearly stunned by the news of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s auction.
The Foundation Strengthening Pill could raise one’s cultivation, regardless of whether they had Warrior Cultivation or Martial Master Cultivation.
And this one was a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill, which was even more incredible.
Sitting in the Patriarch’s seat, Jiang Han couldn’t hide the fervent gleam in his eyes.
His fingers drumd against the armrest of his chair.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "You’re right. We must win this Foundation Strengthening Pill."
He too craved the pill. If he could obtain even one, his cultivation would improve dramatically. It might even be possible for him to break through to the Martial King Cultivation.
Everyone knew what the appearance of this Foundation Strengthening Pill ant.
It ant a surge in cultivation.
In the world of Martial Cultivators, the strong were revered. Powerful cultivation was everything.
Who didn’t yearn for a higher cultivation realm?
Only a fool wouldn’t.
Faced with the allure of the Foundation Strengthening Pill, no Martial Cultivator below a Martial King could possibly resist the temptation.
"The Jiang Family must obtain the Foundation Strengthening Pill, at any cost!"
Everyone in the Jiang Family was in unanimous agreent. They were all in.
