The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 183

Having just sent an overjoyed Xue Tong on his way, Jiang Chen walked into the inner courtyard. He had arrived at the capital for days, but it had been a long time since the last time he had a good chat with his father, Jiang Feng.    

“Chen'er, I heard you just participated in the birthday party of this royal patron spirit king?” Jiang Feng asked when he saw Jiang Chen in a good mood.    

"Yes. Are you also watching this, father?”    

“Haha, of course I pay attention to things like this. This is the king of the royal guardian spirit! Ai, when will I, Jiang Feng, reach such a level in my training?” Jiang Feng asked with an amazed expression on his face.    

“Nothing is impossible in the path of martial dao.” Jiang Chen smiled. He had never known before that his father was a martial dao-holic.    

It makes sense when he thinks about it. Jiang Chen had been a useless person before. As the Duke of Jiang Han, Jiang Feng was responsible for everything, no matter how big or small. He had to take on the role of father and mother, as well as neglecting all sorts of affairs. What time is he left to train?    

Now that he was not the Duke of Jiang Han and was just an ordinary person, his training rate had increased tremendously. He was now a true qi master at the peak of eleven meridians true qi.    

After seeing his father so fascinated by martial dao, Jiang Chen really wanted to offer his father the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill.    

Yet as his mind continued in this direction, he resisted this impulse. He had never used this pill before and there was no need to rush it.    

It was not too late to offer the pill to her father after he tried it himself and felt the effects. A few days difference does not mean much.    

Jiang Chen had made preparations on his way back from the Tutor Manor. He was planning to conduct closed door cultivation and drink the Five Dragon Heaven Opening Pill, starting the process of transmuting true qi into the spirit, comprehending the spirit realm and forming his spirit sea.    

The time needed can be short, or it can be long. Jiang Chen was also unsure.    

“Oh right, there is something I suddenly want to ask you.” Jiang Chen recalled the strange thing that happened to Xue Tong earlier and opened his mouth to ask a question.    

What strange thing?    

“I just spoke to Xue Tong and suddenly felt that his bloodline did not seem to have the resonance of a lineage familiar to me. Looks like something went wrong.”    

"What's wrong?" Jiang Feng's expression was somewhat unnatural.    

“If Xue Tong's mother is my mother's sister, born of the same parents, then we should have the same bloodline and there should be a resonance between us.”    

"Oh. There may be something wrong with your perception. He's your aunt's brother, it's no doubt.” Jiang Feng chuckled. “Alright, Chen'er, your mother died more than ten years ago, don't talk about these sad things anymore. Your third uncle and Xiaoyu came with us to the Skylaurel Kingdom and felt somewhat lonely. Visit them if you don't have the time to take your time.    

Jiang Feng did not seem to be talking more about this matter and changed the subject.    

Jiang Chen felt this was a bit strange, but could not keep asking when he saw his father act like this.    

“Alright, I'll check it out. Careful, father.”    

Jiang Chen left Jiang Feng's room and went to visit third uncle Jiang Tong's room. He had a good chat with his cousin's sister Jiang Yu.    

“Third uncle, I feel Xiaoyu has potential in the field of networking and relationships. He's not bad in business either. How about I see if I can introduce him to Myriad Treasure Palace as a disciple or something if there is a chance?”    

Which father under this sky does not think of his son? When he heard Jiang Chen say this, Jiang Tong was overjoyed, “Chen'er, there was no point for Xiaoyu to sit still every day. It would be amazing if he could go to the Myriad Treasure Palace!”    

“Alright, I will pass on this matter to Feng Yan when he visits next.”    

Speaking of demons, while Jiang Chen was chatting with Jiang Tong and his son, someone from the outside entered to report that the vice administrator of the Myriad Treasure Palace, Feng Yan, had come to visit.    

“Come, Xiaoyu, let's accept Feng Yan together.” Jiang Chen pulled Jiang Yu out.    

Feng Yan was in a good mood lately. He is on the cusp of a wave of success, has been promoted and made a lot of money. He felt that everything in his life was so pleasant, and the sun was so brilliant every day.    

He also knew that the person who brought him all this was Jiang Chen.    

Feng Yan cared deeply for this incredible news of luck. He came to visit almost every day, hoping to further increase the depth of his relationship with Jiang Chen.    

“Young Master Chen, you've been the talk of the capital on the days I didn't see you! Ai, some people are born to be the main characters. Young master Chen was undoubtedly one of those people. It makes me, Feng Yan, quite envious.”    

“Brother Feng, your situation has not been too bad lately either.” Jiang Chen laughed out loud.    

“Heh heh, my little achievement is due to the kind-hearted person known as young master Chen.” Feng Yan's posture was quite polite and polite. He did not dare to call Jiang Chen a brother or anything like that, but rather respectfully called out to Jiang Chen, young master Chen.    

It's respectful and intimate.    

“Oh right, young master Chen, I've heard that you used a jug of Nine Magnificence Dew Wine to win the best prize place at the birthday party of Tutor Ye.”    

“It seems like nothing can be hidden in the capital. How long has it been since I got home?” Jiang Chen smiled sadly.    

“The mother of the city has always been a place where the wind and clouds meet. All news spread the fastest in the capital. How about it, young master Chen? Are you interested in auctioning off the Nine Greatness Grape Dew jug at the Myriad Treasure Palace? If our Myriad Treasure Palace can represent this wine, we will definitely create a win-win situation.”    

Jiang Chen was slightly tempted to hear Feng Yan's words. He looked at Jiang Yu by his side and got an idea. He nodded, “I award the spirit title of Nine Greatness Dew Wine to the vice head Shi and Tutor Ye. The ingredients needed to brew this wine are a bit expensive. This wine is also not suitable for extensive production. If it spreads throughout the market, deputy head Shi might not be happy.”    

Feng Yan thought that those words were very reasonable as he pondered it deeper. Vice-head Shi was someone who loved wine. If anyone could carelessly purchase the Nine Dew Profound Wine with money, then how could this wine still be considered a precious wine?    

“Here, I have a recipe for the Nine Greatness of Dew Wine. Levels were lower, but this was still a peerless drink. It can be introduced to the market.”    

"Oh? Something like this exists? Young Chen, this means we really have a basis for partnership.” Feng Yan's eyes also twinkled.    

Feng Yan started, and immediately smiled, “There will be nothing better. It was difficult for people to enter the Myriad Treasure Palace, but there would definitely be no problems for young master Chen's brother. I'll report to deputy head Shi and I'm sure he won't let you down at all.    

Feng Yan was the one who acted and immediately took a leave of absence to return and discuss with Shi Xiaoyao.    

“Xiaoyu, I have paved the way for you. You are alone after entering the Myriad Treasure Palace.”    

Jiang Yu really appreciated it, “Brother, I won't let you down.”    

After roughly two hours, Feng Yan rushed back with great enthusiasm.    

“Young Master Chen, the vice chairman is quite frank and generous. He gave Jiang Yu the title of a first rank disciple. That's just one more level of my rank as deputy administrator.”    

The disciples of Myriad Treasure Palace all started as apprentices, before rising to become ninth rank disciples, eighth rank.    

A first rank disciple was the highest level of existence among the disciples. Continuing to the top are middle management positions of deputy administrator, administrator, senior administrator.    

“Vice Head Shi also said that as long as younger brother Jiang Yu performed well in the Palace, he would not hesitate to make an exception and guide her.” Feng Yan smiled.    

Jiang Chen could feel Shi Xiaoyao's sincerity. “Feng Yan, come back now. I will have Jiang Yu bring her wine recipe tomorrow and negotiate with you guys. I won't ask for any details at all; it's entirely up to Jiang Yu.    

Feng Yan smiled, “With the presence of young master Chen, we will not dare to mistreat younger brother Jiang Yu. Haha, then I will return first and wait for sister Jiang Yu's visit tomorrow.”    

It seemed that Feng Yan was quite proactive towards this matter and was eager to succeed. If he resolved this matter, then he would definitely achieve great achievements.    

Of course, even a general level Nine Magnificence Dew Wine would be a very profitable transaction. They would also not only absorb Jiang Yu into the Myriad Treasure Palace but also further enhance their relationship with Jiang Chen at the same time.    

“Xiaoyu, I'm giving you the recipe for the general level of Nine Stews Wine right now. Tonight, think about how you want to handle the conversation. Don't be too accommodating and lose your profits. Don't be too petty and just have money, understand?”    

“My brother, I will set my limits.” The itchy light seeing the action shone in Jiang Yu's eyes.    

Jiang Chen scribbled down a common level wine recipe, uttering a few encouraging words before sending Jiang Yu on his way.    

He then called out to his men, left behind some instructions and announced that he was going to do closed-door cultivation.    

Jiang Chen did not convey to the outside world the importance of closed door cultivation this time.    

Only he knew that he was planning to officially drink the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill and prepare for his attack into the spirit realm.    

His lack of strength still made his hands and feet bound many times.    

Some things wouldn't be that difficult if he was strong enough. The feud with the Northern Palace for example. If he was strong enough, he could have toppled them and massacred all the robbers. None of the next problems will arise.    

Jiang Chen had learned his lesson and wanted to increase his strength.    

With a clattering sound, he poured out several Five Dragon Opening Heaven Pills.    

He closed his eyes and started using Boulder's Heart to begin sensing these pills. When his mental strength locked onto one of them, the magical connection caused Jiang Chen to open his eyes.    

“That's it!”    

Jiang Chen kept the other pills. For a pill like this, taking just one was enough. There is no benefit in taking more.    

Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state. He thought of the information regarding the Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill in his mind once again.    

He opened his mouth and swallowed this pill.    

The powerful effects of the treatment soon spread throughout this body.    

As if there was a surging sea within his body, the five ferocious dragons turned the turbulent and rampant waves wildly.    

“Pushing qi into dragons, forging bodies, turning true qi into spirit qi, uniting the sea of spirits.”    

All sorts of familiar ideas flashed through Jiang Chen's head step by step, he began to manipulate the five waves of power that were running around like a horse that slipped off its straps.    

The Five Dragons Heaven Opening Pill had absorbed the essence of the five elements. The pill he formed encompassed all five attributes. These five forces actually formed a balance with the entire sky and the world.    

To a martial practitioner, the physical body was a small world. If a practitioner wanted to improve or break through to become an even stronger practitioner, he would have to continue expanding and improving the small world within his body.    

Similar to the larger world, the attributes of the five elements were the foundation that formed the small world of the physical body. Jiang Chen's pill was to realize a small, balanced world.    

In reality, each practitioner trained five qi within their body in the true qi realm. The so-called five qi is related to the five organs.    

These five qi were also related to the five elements.    

Except, many practitioners who ascended to the spirit realm were cooped up by various restrictions, and their foundations were not sturdy enough in relation to the five elements.     

This was why some people could go so far when transmuting true qi into the spirit, while others were always hesitant in the early spirit realm.
