The Sovereign Of The Three Realms

Chapter 42: Jiang Chen Has the Desire to Kill and Pointing to the Pill King

What many people did not understand, was that even though the ambush towards Jiang Feng became the talk of the city, the storm and the anticipated large waves did not follow.

There was no big movement from the royal family.

The Duke of Soaring Dragon also did not seem to take any action.

The strangest thing was, the Jiang manor did not make any major moves either. It was as if Jiang Feng being ambushed was just a small distraction, and it did not cause a huge ripple.

Jiang Chen also kept a very low profile. He stayed inside the manor, continued to handle the situation, and threw himself into training.

The current Jiang Chen, after practicing “The Secrets of the Nine Laughing Seas”, used the true qi of the great waves to strengthen his meridians every day. He had long since forged his six meridians to be extremely strong and durable.

If you add the stimulus and support provided by the spirit medicine, Jiang Chen's six meridians could be labeled as containing dragon power and tiger ferocity. They were full of vitality and had extreme explosions.

Jiang Chen also managed to find the seventh acupoint through the “Resonance True Acupuncture Point method. However, there was a glaring trench between the six meridians true qi and the seven meridians true qi.

Six meridians true qi only counted as the intermediate realm of true qi.

Seven meridians true qi would be an advanced realm of true qi.

Moving forward just one small step here meant a huge level increase. Therefore, against this hurdle, any practitioner would face more resistance to their ascension.

It was the same for Jiang Chen. He was in no hurry to attack the barrier for a breakthrough before he found the right time.

About four or five days after the ambush, Jiang Chen remained self-effacing as he visited the Hall of Healing.

Qiao Baishi had been waiting with bated breath in the Healing Hall. His eyes twinkled when he saw Jiang Chen had arrived. He had been waiting for the stars, the moon, and had finally managed to wait for Jiang Chen's arrival.

“Young Duke Jiang, I'm finally waiting for your arrival.” Qiao Baishi was overjoyed and he directly invited Jiang Chen into the secret room.

“What's wrong?” Jiang Chen felt a bit strange that Qiao Baishi was acting discreetly about him.

“Young Duke Jiang, our partnership should move forward earlier than planned.” Qiao Baishi instantly cut through the point. “We have gathered news from many different paths that Pill King Garden is researching a new type of magic medicine for healing, in preparation to invade the market. If the Pill King Garden gains the first mover advantage, then it will be a fatal blow to our Hall. ”

Qiao Baishi was indeed a bit anxious. He had not expected the Pill King Garden to suddenly play this hand.

Needless to say, the hand that the Pill King Garden played came at an unfathomable speed, sending the Hall of Healing off guard.

“Pill King Park?” A hint of killing intent flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes when he heard these three words. He naturally would not forget how the Pill King Garden had suppressed his Jiang family in the Soaring Dragon palace.

And, he would never believe that the Pill King Garden had no hand in his father's ambush this time around. Instinct told Jiang Chen that there must be a shadow of the Pill King Garden behind all of this.

“What really happened?” Jiang Chen was not confused. If it was a battle of healing medicine, he did not believe that there was anyone who could defeat him, Jiang Chen, inside the capital.

“This is how it is: Within seven days, Pill King Garden will be holding a pill medicine exhibition in the biggest market in the capital. It is said that they will be featuring a new spirit medicine called “Dragon and Tiger” Blood Pill. It is the highest ranked pill for healing physical wounds and its effectiveness is the highest. This will rule over other pills in the same category that are on the market today. ”

Qiao Baishi's tone of voice held back some traces of refusal to submit at this moment. The Hall of Healing was the publicly acknowledged number one heavyweight in the spirit medicine world in the Eastern Kingdom.

In terms of the spirit medicine business, the Healing Hall occupied half of the market territory by itself.

As for the Farmers God Temple and the Pill King Garden, they, along with a few other scattered small merchants, occupied the other half of the market.

If Pill King Garden was allowed to make a big splash with “Dragon and Tiger” Blood Pill and gain the first mover advantage, then it would be a huge blow to the Hall of Healing.

First it will be a blow to reputation. The Pill King Garden could only be counted as the third heavyweight in the spirit medicine market in the Eastern Kingdom. If it was able to thoroughly defeat the black and blue Hall of Healing in the healing elixir segment, then it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Hall's face.

The second will be a blow to the business. Everyone knew that medicinal healing pills were the biggest market in the pill medicine arena. Pill medicines were also finished goods, different from spirit medicines that had to be cultivated. The price is often quite astonishing. If the Pill King Garden was able to completely devour this market, then its strength would definitely increase greatly after a few years. But in terms of competition, others diminish as others increase. Who knows, maybe the number one spirit medicine heavyweight position in the Eastern Kingdom will change hands in ten years.

No matter how one looked at it, the Hall of Healing would not sit idly by and watch the Pill King Garden rise to power.

Jiang Chen had also heard this connotation from the words Qiao Baishi had spoken.

“The Pill King Garden suddenly became very famous likely meaning that they had actually gotten involved with the duke of Soaring Dragon and found a huge supporter!” Jiang Chen laughed coldly. “This move is likely their first step in the declaration of war in the Hall of Healing. Third hallmaster, forgive my candor. The ambitions of the Pill King Garden were excellent, and they were most likely rushing to replace the Healing Hall. ”

Qiao Baishi's face was deathly pale, “My Healing Hall has occupied the number one spirit medicine heavyweight position in the Eastern Kingdom for hundreds of years. As a newcomer came along, the ambitions of the Pill King Garden were a bit too great. Young Duke Jiang, I don't want to air. From today, your house and my house are actually two grasshoppers tied to the same rope.”

Jiang Chen smiled casually, “If they are going to hold an exhibition tomorrow, then we really won't have enough time. Seven days from now leaves a lot of time for us.”

“Can we refine the Heavenly Karma Pill in seven days?” Qiao Baishi could not really make an estimate and said these words hesitantly.

“Hallmaster third, do you just want to refine the Heavenly Karma Pill? Playing it by ear means always being in passivity. We didn't move because we chose to do so, but when we did, we needed to make a move in such a way that the Pill King Garden didn't have the space and ability to fight against us! ”

An astonishing aura was tucked between Jiang Chen's brows. He finally revealed his long-hidden strangeness!

“Young Duke Jiang, do you maybe have other plans?” Qiao Baishi would never have thought that .n.a.f.s.u.s eating Jiang Chen would be bigger than he had imagined.

“Tell me first, what pill medicine does Pill King Garden take pride in the most, and thus become the basis of their foothold in the capital? Or in other words, what are their core competencies?”

Qiao Baishi pondered for a moment and said, “Most Pill King Garden businesses are concentrated in two areas. One of them is a pill medicine that fills and collects qi, and other pill medicine that clears internal fire and calms the mind.”

The pill medicine that filled and gathered qi was mostly used in battle. The depletion situation of true qi often appeared in battles between the strong. At that time, the pill medicine that filled and gathered qi would serve to replenish qi instantly.

Cleanses internal fire and calms the mind more often used in training. Martial dao practitioners often faced many internal demons while practicing, and impartial self-defense was something that a practitioner had to accomplish at all times. Except, the internal demons of practitioners were not easy to control, so pill medicines that cleared internal flames and calmed the mind were used to control internal demons and prevent practitioners from cultural deviations.

Incidentally, Jiang Chen had written the list for Princess Gouyu a few days ago, and its use was to clear internal flames and calm the mind. It wasn't a prescription pill, just a regular prescription drug. He would be able to directly drink it if he mixed the corresponding spirit medicine ingredients together.

“How much true qi can be recovered by pills that fill and collect qi instantly?” Jiang Chen asked curiously.

“Our Healing Hall has a similar product, but one pill at most can recover twenty percent of true qi. It also can not be taken sequentially – it will not be effective if taken back within two hours.”

Qiao Baishi was a little embarrassed. “Our hall has always wanted to expand to this arena, but the technical barriers for qi charging pills are high and hard to break through. Pill King Garden was actually at the front in this area. Their qi charging pills could instantly recover thirty percent of true qi, and usage could be repeated after an hour. ”

Jiang Chen nodded. “How about their mind tranquilizer pills?”

“There is no quantitative measure for this type of pill, but the effect is immediately visible and immediately noticeable after taking it. Our hall is also slightly lower than the Park in this case. ”

Qiao Baishi did not deceive himself and honestly conveyed the situation to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen did not immediately reply, but closed his eyes and pondered. After a long while, Jiang Chen's finger lightly tapped on the table.

“What if we produce a pill that can instantly recover forty to fifty percent of true qi. Will it defeat the Pill King Garden in this area? ”

“Recover forty to fifty percent soon?” Qiao Baishi rose with a face full of excitement. “If our Hall has a good product, based on our sales channel and network, as well as our strong distribution ability, the, we can actually cause Garden products to get into the garbage pile within half a month!”

“If the cost of the mind tranquilizing pill is only one-tenth of a similar pill product, but the effect is superior, is it enough to throw the Pill King Garden product once again into the trash?” Jiang Chen asked again.

“The cost of sales is only one-tenth? The effect superior? Then what else can be said? That would definitely put them into a pile of trash! We just need to wage a price war to clean the floor with them!”

Qiao Baishi was agitated with excitement and his eyes were filled with desire. “Duke Jiang young, are you kidding when saying all this?”

Jiang Chen said weakly, “Do I look like I'm joking?”

“This ...” Qiao Baishi was at a loss for words for a moment, but his trembling lips revealed the wild and crazy emotions that were currently coursing through him.

Thinking of this situation would pay off, and the victorious scene of thoroughly defeating the Pill King Garden, was enough to cause Qiao Baishi's heart to race and his hot blood to throb quickly.

“I only have one request and that is to completely destroy the Pill King Garden. Make them disappear and have that Wang guy beg on the streets!”

Jiang Chen felt a deep sense of internal disdain towards Grand Courtmaster Wang. Whenever he thought of the haughty tone that person adopted when he lectured Jiang Chen's father, Jiang Chen had the urge to step on him to death.

“Young Duke Jiang, if we destroy Pill King Garden in these two areas, then the Garden will be a wingless fly. It won't be able to fight for long, and we'll be able to hit them with one wave of hands!”

“Old rules with regard to splits. I'll take sixty and you forty!

Qiao Baishi nodded his head repeatedly. “That's how it should be. Young Duke Jiang was indeed a phoenix or dragon amongst mortals. Allow me to say something fawning and it's true – Our hall is respected even with splits.

Qiao Baishi was a smart man. The lower his profile was now, the more goodwill he would muster from Jiang Chen.

At this moment, the intelligent Qiao Baishi knew clearly that the partnership between the Healing Hall and Jiang Chen was not one of equal footing. The hall depended on Jiang Chen and liked Jiang Chen.

If he did not straighten out the relationship, then the Hall would definitely not last long!
