The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 11

When Jiang Chen opened his eyes the next day, there were some traces of vitality that had never been seen in his eyes before.    

He sat down and stretched his body, his entire body filled with explosive power.    

Thirty to forty percent of the effects of the Heavenly Karma Pill were already amazing enough to heal Jiang Chen's eighty to ninety percent wounds. Plus the fact that the four meridians qi had actually spent that night refining and strengthening his body after he had cleared his fourth meridian, his bodily functions had increased by many levels throughout one night.    

Jiang Zheng had been there since that morning, and was in fine condition. He was happy whenever he thought about how he had lectured his wife and regained his pride as the host last night after he apologized, as well as the prowess he showed between the sheets last night.    

But he was completely flabbergasted when he saw Jiang Chen come out of the room.    

“Young duke, you.. you..” Jiang Zheng was unable to find the right words because he was very astonished. Jiang Chen had just undergone too great a change.    

Jiang Chen was previously a mischievous and sometimes domineering, and sometimes anxious and depressed. In other words, he's actually nothing.    

But today, the young Duke had a new appearance to him. His entire presence and aura was like a freshly forged sword straight from a furnace, with sharp edges and light.    

“Jiang Zheng, prepare my horse. I went out."    

"Yes!" Jiang Zheng would gladly endure the hardships. He used to think running errands for the young duke was troublesome, yet he had been filled with the flames of passion since yesterday.    

Only after they left the palace did Jiang Zheng carefully ask, “Young Duke, where are we going?”    

“Healing Hall of course.” Jiang Chen chuckled, flicked his whip, and made his horse gallop. His mood was being very good today, and a man was riding a fast horse when he was proud!    

“Eh? Young Duke, please wait for your servant!” Jiang Chen had already disappeared in the distance as Jiang Zheng reacted.    

The majestic building of the Hall of Healing appeared in front of Jiang Chen after a while.    

When Jiang Chen arrived at the front door of the Hall, the customers who entered and exited the hall acted as if they were seeing ghosts.    

After all, Jiang Chen was still the son of a duke and had little fame in the capital. The farts he put out at the holy temple were enough to make it headlines across the capital over the past two days.    

Farting during the Heavenly Right of Worship, this Jiang Chen was something that was fine.    

Therefore, Jiang Chen's name has been widely rumored over the past two days, and is identical to “unik”.    

Jiang Chen farted during the Rite of Heavenly Worship and defiled the gods. The king had ordered that he be whipped to death. This was news that the entire kingdom knew.    

But few know that he did not die from the caning    

Therefore, his appearance now would definitely make the rumors circulate again.    

"Did you see that? Isn't that the useless young duke of Jiang Han province?”    

“So what if she? There are so many powers in the capital, do you want to lick that one?”    

“Sedot your ass. I mean it was Jiang Chen! Wasn't he flogged to death for farting in the Heavenly Worship Rite?”    

"What's? You're talking about Jiang Chen? That fart freak? Where's where?"    

Conversations like this were held throughout the Healing Hall. People gather in small groups and almost all discuss the same thing.    

As for the person in question, Jiang Chen, he did not care about these ridiculous views, and was even less interested in engaging with these people.    

He had an important matter to be resolved in the Hall of Healing.    

There were still two more days before he had to enter the palace and take care of the princess. He had to make some preparations, no matter what. It doesn't feel right to walk empty-handed, and he'll have a hard time explaining it.    

Jiang Chen had sketched out a rough plan to deal with Eastern Zhiruo's matter, and he had come today to arrange some matters.    

The attitude of the comrades in the Hall of Healing had clearly been corrected after yesterday's incident. It seems clear that some internal restructuring has taken place.    

Jiang Chen put down the list on the counter. “Halo, I want the ingredients that are on this list.”    

The fellow took the list and nodded, but frowned slightly as he reached the last ingredient on the list. “Sixth rank spirit level material? Sir... are you sure you want this material?”    

“Just prepare the ingredients according to the list.” Jiang Chen smiled faintly.    

“But this material..” The colleague hesitated.    

"What's? Level too low? You don't have it here? Then exchange it for the Nine Fruits of Aurora Fire.”    

It was as if the fellow had been struck by a lightning strike that burned his entrails and cooked his skin. He could barely show a smiling face. “Master, what is the Nine Fire Aurora Fruit? The hall didn't bring him. The Dragon Bone Sun Grass was the highest Yang item. This is extremely rare, and one of our precious spirit herbs. The hall only has one stock and it is very valuable, its selling price..”    

“What, do you think I can't afford it?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.    

The colleague chuckled and thought, at least you can read between my words. I'm really worried you can't afford it. But the beating his partner endured yesterday reminded them all not to judge a book by its cover.    

“The problem is, this item is very valuable and even administrators cannot take it out. One of our elders must give permission before we can make a deal.” He patiently explained while subconsciously pulling back his head. Surely this man will not have a carved dragon medal and slap me?    

“So many problems just for Dragonbone Sun Grass? Where are your parents? Get them out, I don't have time to waste.” Jiang Chen really did not want to spend too much time in the Healing Hall.    

There was nothing the fellow could do but send word inside. Jiang Chen was twirling his thumbs when a great fanfare came from outside the door, and a small group of people went inside.    

The leader of the group was around sixteen or seventeen years old and wore luxurious silk and fur clothing. He walked proudly and closed the distance to the counter in three steps. He slammed his hand into the cashier's table: “Have your boss come out. I want a Dragonbone Sun Grass and I am in a hurry. Come on, none of you are able to bear the consequences if you delay my business.”    

However the colleagues at the other counter, were dumbfounded.    

Normally, no one would be able to utilize this Dragon Bone Sun Grass, even within a period of three to five years. Today, however, two groups of customers come to buy it as soon as they open a business.    

Has the value of Dragonbone Sun Grass increased?    

Three people came out from behind the Healing Hall after a while. In addition to her comrades, there was also the administrator He and a female elder.    

The female elder looked to be around forty years old and drew slightly exaggerated eyebrows. She wore a lot of jewelry, and showed an awkward feeling with her choice of clothes.    

“Who wants to buy Dragonbone Sun Grass?” The female elder asked.    

“I, i! Blue Aunt, do you remember me? I am the son of the White Tiger duke, Bai Zhanyun. Bai Xianling is my father! You hugged me when I was a kid.” The arrogant teenager began to be kind to the female elder.    

“Ah, it is a young White Duke. Is this Dragon Bone Sun Grass for you, or your father?”    

The rank of a White Tiger duke was one of the most prominent dukes in the Eastern Kingdom, and was ranked in the top five. Therefore, even an elder from the Healing Hall needed to show their respect.    

“Blue Aunt, don't ask again. Know that your nephew needs it most. Quickly mention the price, I will come back and thank you later.”    

Elder Blue smiled shyly. “You are in a hurry. Did you take this spirit level potion and give it to a girl?”    

Bai Zhanyun “heh” with a laugh, “Blue Aunt knows best.”    

“Alright, I won't make fun of you any further. Dragonbone Sun Grass was valued at two million silver. Did you bring enough money?”    

“Ya, right. Will I come without money? Everyone knows that your Hall does not do business on credit.” Bai Zhan Yun looked worried.    

Jiang Chen had been holding back their chatter and laughter for quite a while. His brows curved as he knocked on the table. “Kataku, didn't you miss something here? Business is first come, first served.”    

Both elder Blue and Bai Zhanyun seemed to have just noticed Jiang Chen. They both gave him strange looks.    

Bai Zhanyun in particular had an extremely mischievous expression on his face. It seems to be said, and who are you really?    

“Whatever it is, man, I'm asking you. Aren't I the first person who wants to buy Dragonbone Sun Grass?” Jiang Chen asked lightly.    

The partner will never think that other buyers will come to the store in such a short period of time. But the signboard of the gold shop Hall hung there, and he did not dare to lie.    

He opened and closed his mouth, but could not make a sound. Bai Zhanyun seemed to understand something and laughed coldly, “You. You want to buy it too.    

Bai Zhanyun ran here like hellfire chasing after him not to buy the Dragon Bone Sun Grass for himself, but because he had heard that the daughter of the highest ranked duke, Long Teng, was, in the Eastern Kingdom, Long Juxue, had inexplicably fallen victim to cold humor during practice. He needed the most items for healing and therefore he immediately ran to the Healing Hall. He wanted to be at the forefront of the competition by purchasing the Dragonbone Sun Grass and giving it to Long Juxue as a gallant sign.    

His first thought after hearing that Jiang Chen also wanted to buy the potion was that the person in front of him was a love rival!    

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Zhan Yun with an indifferent look, but had no interest in talking to idiots. He only spoke to Elder Blue, “Mistress Elder, I only asked one question. Does the Hall of Healing honor the order of priority?”    

Elder Blue was an old hat who had seen many big scenes, and said with a charming smile. “Yeah, we definitely respect the order of priority. But there are some things more important than others. Brother Bai here wants to use the Dragon Bone Sun Grass to save lives. It is said that saving one life is more noble than building a seven-story Buddhist temple. He was also the young duke of the rank of a White Tiger duke. Why don't you give him a face? Gave her the same face as. ”    

Bai Zhanyun puffed out his chest and said proudly, “Yes. Thy. You look kind of familiar. Whatis yourname? If you hand the Dragon Bone Sun Grass to me, then I, Bai Zhanyun, will take full care of you in the capital!”    

Jiang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was clearly seen that the Blue elder was biased towards Bai Zhan Yun.    

“What if I don't want to?” Jiang Chen replied coldly and laughed lightly.    

"What?" Bai Zhanyun was shocked. "What's wrong with you? I am the heir to the rank of a White Tiger duke, future White Tiger duke candidate. You didn't even show any respect to the four grand dukes of the kingdom? Thy. You're arrogant. Tell me your name. Let me see how great a person who does not even respect me, the heir to the rank of a White Tiger duke.”    

Right now, someone watching the show dared to speak, “He is Jiang Chen.”    

“In my opinion, the heir to the rank of duke Jiang Han.”    

“Yes, there it is. But wasn't he whipped to death?”    

Both Bai Zhanyun and the Blue elder were stunned by this response. The heir to the rank of duke Jiang Han?    

Bai Zhanyun's gaze sharpened on Jiang Chen and finally seemed to recognize him. He pointed towards Jiang Chen and started laughing loudly. "You. That really is you. Aren't you dead? Alright, you are Jiang Chen, you are pretending to be dead. This misleads the king and betrayal!”    

Jiang Chen's entire existence had undergone a significant change thanks to a series of trainings. Plus the fact that Bai Zhanyun had not had much contact with Jiang Chen before, and you understand why Bai Zhanyun did not recognize Jiang Chen before.    

He felt even sturdier after he identified Jiang Chen. “Jiang Chen, you have guts. Pretending to be dead is one thing, how dare you bravely appear in public when you should have been dead. This was clearly a provocation against His Majesty's authority, and a public humiliation towards the royal family. I think you should go home and get your business done. Even if you can afford it, do you have the life to use it?”    

Jiang Chen put on a face full of resignation and turned to smile wryly at the Blue elder. “Does the Hall of Healing prefer doing business with idiots rather than selling spirit level materials to normal people?”    

Bai Zhanyun was instantly furious, “Jiang Chen, who do you call an idiot?”    

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. “Pastya idiot. Can't even solve such a simple question? Who else is an idiot here besides you?”    

The crowd watching the show was getting heated up with excitement. Have these two young dukes eaten gunpowder today? Each one was braver than the previous, each one more domineering than the previous.    

Will a fight of who is better in vain take place?
