Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1268: Nalan Yanran, the Danger of Wu

"Shanrou?"

Jiang Chen came to Shanrou.

"Who are you?" Shan Rou looked at Jiang Chen warily.

"I am Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen said: "I know you are Cao Qiudao's disciple, so I came over to meet you."

In A Step into the Past, Cao Qiudao is the master of the King of Qi. He lives in the Jixia Academy of Qi State. He is the strongest swordsman in the late Warring States Period. He is known as the "Sword Saint" by the world. He is born with supernatural powers and superb swordsmanship. He can defeat the enemy without fighting. However, his sword is never merciful. The defeated will either die or be injured. He has a high status in Qi State.

In the play, he and Xiang Shaolong fought twice. The first time they fought at Jixia Academy, Xiang Shaolong used the Blood Wave Sword to fight against the enemy, but was beaten to a pulp by Cao Qiudao. He couldn't even take ten moves, and finally relied on the Hundred Battles Sword to get through by luck; the second time they fought was the battle at the Observatory of Jixia Academy. Under the huge pressure of Cao Qiudao, Xiang Shaolong's Hundred Battles Sword Skills improved by leaps and bounds. The two fought for a long time, and Xiang Shaolong finally cut off a two-inch long section of the sword edge of Cao Qiudao's sword. Although he was still slightly inferior to Cao Qiudao, it was possible that both sides would suffer losses. In the end, Xiang Shaolong fled because he didn't want to suffer losses. After the battle at the Observatory of Jixia Academy, Shaolong, the Sword Master, appeared in addition to the Sword Saint.

I don’t know how powerful Cao Qiudao is in this Warring States continent.

"Do you know my master?" Shanrou asked.

"I don't know him, but I've heard of it," Jiang Chen said.

"What do you want?" Shanrou asked.

"I just said, I want to get to know you." Jiang Chen also knew that Shan Rou was a very independent person, and even if he wanted to win her over, it would not be a matter of a day or two.

"Then I'll take my leave." Shanrou said and turned to leave.

"Shanrou, we will meet again in the future." Jiang Chen said, looking at Cao Qiudao's back.

Shan Rou didn't look back, but disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.

Jiang Chen smiled and continued walking into Handan City.

This time Jiang Chen came to Handan City to investigate the situation in Zhao State.

The current State of Zhao is during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao.

The State of Zhao, with its hundreds of thousands of cavalry, was a military power. Unfortunately, the Warring States continent is now a fusion of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Therefore, although the State of Zhao was strong, the other countries were not weak either.

"Is this Lin Xiangru?"

"Young Lin Xiangru?"

Jiang Chen saw Lin Xiangru and recognized him.

Lin Xiangru, a character in "The West Wind Blows Hard".

In the play, he is a famous minister of the State of Zhao, handsome, suave, wise and brave. His three most important events are: returning the jade intact to Zhao, the meeting at Mianchi and asking for forgiveness. He is a man with a long-term vision, not blinded by current interests, and has a calm personality.

"Too."

"Lin Xiangru was a minister of King Huiwen of Zhao, who was the son of King Wuling of Zhao."

"However, King Wuling of Zhao was a man who was courting death."

Jiang Chen thought of the Dune Rebellion.

The Shaqiu Rebellion refers to the fourth year of King Huiwen of Zhao, when the Lord Father (King Wuling of Zhao) and King Huiwen visited Shaqiu and lived in two palaces. Prince Zhang (King Wuling's eldest son and King Huiwen's elder brother) thought the time had come, so he used his followers and Tian Buli to cause chaos, and falsely conveyed the Lord Father's order to summon King Huiwen. Prime Minister Fei Yi suspected that there was a fraud, so he visited first and left elite troops to protect King Zhao. Soon after, the famous Prime Minister Fei Yi was assassinated. Prince Zhang led his troops to fight against King Huiwen's guards, but the palace was well defended and could not be captured for a long time. A few days later, Prince Cheng and Li Dui, who held the military power of Zhao, rushed from the capital and mobilized the troops of the four counties to quell the rebellion. In the end, Prince Zhang and Tian Buli were repelled, their followers were eliminated, and the royal family was stabilized.

"However, was it really Prince Zhang who killed King Wuling of Zhao during the Shaqiu Rebellion?"

In Jiang Chen's opinion, even King Huiwen of Zhao wanted King Wuling of Zhao to die.

Because historical records show that in the 27th year of King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao Yong gave the throne to his second son Zhao He, who took charge of state affairs, while he focused on military affairs and was called "Lord Father".

What does it mean to focus on the military?
It means to take control of the military power.

What does it mean to King Huiwen of Zhao that a king of Zhao has no military power?
This means it's just a puppet.

Was King Huiwen of Zhao a puppet?

Obviously not.

Throughout history, has there ever been a puppet or emperor who had a good ending?

Jiang Chen stayed in Handan City for a day before leaving.

……

Jiangzhou City.

"Sir, the water is ready." Cheng Ruoyu said.

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded, took out the real dragon's blood that was diluted 100,000 times, and poured it into the water.

"Young Master, do you want to use this thin dragon blood to refine your body?" Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"Yes, I want to give it a try." The energy of the real dragon blood is too strong. Jiang Chen knows without any experiment that it is impossible to refine it. However, the real blood of the phoenix in "Listen to the Phoenix" is brought by Feng Wu naturally, so it can be refined.

Therefore, Jiang Chen thought of using the thin blood of a real dragon instead of medicinal herbs to refine his body.

"Ruoyu, Zhixiang, please help me pour the thin blood of real dragon later." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Cheng Ruoyu and Zhi Xiang responded.

Jiang Chen opened his arms.

Cheng Ruoyu and Zhi Xiang stepped forward to take off Jiang Chen's clothes.

Jiang Chen opened the property panel.

"In more than four months, my strength increased by 57, my physique increased by 60, my spirit increased by 52, and my agility increased by 34."

"In the past four months, the heroine has signed more than thirty."

"The family has grown by three members."

"The clan's fortune increased by 2706."

"The family is still 3646 points away from being promoted."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the bathing tub.

"what…"

The next moment, as Jiang Chen used the Thunder Body Tempering Technique, the energy of the dragon blood entered his body. At this moment, his body had the urge to explode, as if countless hands were pulling at his body.

Endless pain swept over him, and his meridians, blood vessels, muscles and flesh began to spasm. At this moment, his entire body looked like a red person, and his skin had turned completely red.

As the Thunderbolt Body Tempering Technique was in operation, the unparalleled energy in the dragon blood raged through Jiang Chen's body, destroying Jiang Chen's body functions like a dead tree or rotten wood. While destroying, it also quickly healed him. Only those who experienced it personally knew the pain.

After enduring boundless pain for ten minutes, the effects of the dragon blood body refining finally weakened a little bit.

Under the stimulation of the dragon blood, Jiang Chen's meridians and every cell in his body were madly devouring this strange energy and began a transformation!
Jiang Chen began to practice the Thunder Body Tempering Technique with all his strength. He practiced it again and again, continuously absorbing the essence of the dragon blood into his body.

The huge energy of dragon blood slowly climbed up along the body, freely wandering among the limbs and bones. Starting from the blood, then the skin and flesh, then the internal organs, and then the bones...

Finally, the bones, flesh, and veins all over the body...

Cheng Ruoyu and Zhi Xiang looked at Jiang Chen worriedly.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's muscles, bones, and meridians were rapidly strengthened, and his strength also increased rapidly under the stimulation of dragon blood.

Time passed by, and under the tempering of dragon blood, Jiang Chen's body was quietly undergoing a radical transformation. Whether it was the elasticity of his muscles, the hardness of his bones, or the flexibility of his body, even his own potential had increased significantly compared to the past.

At this moment, with every move he made, Jiang Chen felt that his body was extremely strong.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen did not think so much, but continued to absorb and refine the thin blood of the true dragon.

An hour later.

Jiang Chen opened the property panel.

"Strength increased by 265, Constitution increased by 8. Spirit and Agility did not increase."

"However, this absorption and refining was originally for the purpose of tempering the body."

"The effect is not bad."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath.

"If it's fish, it's a million times thinner." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Cheng Ruoyu poured a portion that was diluted a million times into the bathtub.

Jiang Chen began to refine it.

Compared to the True Dragon's blood which is 100,000 times thinner, this True Dragon's blood which is 1 million times thinner has much less energy, and is not as difficult to absorb and refine.

An hour later, Jiang Chen checked the attribute panel.

"Strength only increased by 60 points."

"It seems that the blood of a real dragon that is a million times thinner is not very effective."

Jiang Chen stood up.

Cheng Ruoyu and Zhixiang came forward to help Jiang Chen change his clothes.

After a moment, Jiang Chen walked out of the room.

"Master, how is it?" Li Biyun walked over.

“In the late stage of Martial King realm, one can refine True Dragon blood that is 100,000 times thinner. In the late stage of Grand Master realm, one can refine True Dragon blood that is 1 million times thinner. However, True Dragon blood is only for refining the body.” Jiang Chen said.

"Even if it's just body training, it's a good thing." Li Biyun said.

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded and said to Li Biyun: "Li Biyun, you should try it today too."

"Okay." Li Biyun nodded.

……

Two hours later.

"Li Biyun, how is it?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's useful. I feel that my body tempering has improved a lot. However, Patriarch, will our body tempering be..." Li Biyun hesitated.

"Li Biyun, body training is to increase the strength of the physical body, not to change one's body shape, so you don't need to worry at all." Jiang Chen said.

Li Biyun felt a little embarrassed when she heard that.

After all, she was almost ninety years old and she actually asked such a question.

At this time, Nie Xingchen and others came.

"Everyone is here...these body refining experiments with true dragon blood were successful." Jiang Chen recounted the body refining situation.

"Brother Chen, can this method of body training be used permanently?" Zhao Mosheng asked.

"it's out of the question."

Jiang Chen said without hesitation: "Although I don't know how many times this method can be used, it is definitely impossible to use it permanently. Just like the Biling Pill, there is a limit on its use. In addition, although the blood of a real dragon that is one million times thinner can be absorbed by a late Grandmaster, I think it is better to use the blood of a real dragon that is one hundred thousand times thinner after the strength is improved to the late Martial King Realm, so as not to waste the number of uses."

"Late stage of Martial King realm? Only you, Mr. Jiang, and Li Biyun can use it now." Nie Xingchen said.

"Yes, although you have to wait for a while, it will be good for you." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then should we give it to the Star Cavalry and Eagle Guards? Although the strength of the Star Cavalry and Eagle Guards is low, maybe they can be used if they are diluted ten million times." Nie Xingchen said.

"this is not good."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I plan to give it to the Star Riders in the late Grandmaster stage. Well, this use will serve as a reward mechanism for the Star Riders. And we will use the True Dragon Blood that is 100,000 times thinner once in the late Martial King stage, and 10,000 times thinner once in the late Martial Emperor stage... and so on. Only in this way can we better utilize the effect of the True Dragon Blood."

"After this true dragon's blood is diluted and refined, will it mutate like a Ferghana horse?" Li Yanshu asked.

"We absorb and refine the diluted energy of the true dragon's blood instead of injecting the true dragon's blood into the blood. For us, it is equivalent to a medicinal material." Jiang Chen said.

"That's good." The girls breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, what would happen if this thin blood of a true dragon was put into the spirit fish pond?" Jiang Meiyan suddenly had an idea.

"Those spirit fish must die." Jiang Chen said.

"Why?" Jiang Miyeon asked.

"The spirit fish has just absorbed spiritual energy. Its strength is not even as good as that of a third-rate warrior. How can it withstand the thin blood of a real dragon? Our Ferghana horses are different. They have all eaten potential pills and usually drink spiritual water from the spirit fish pond. In addition, the spiritual water injected into their blood actually changes their genes." Jiang Chen said this according to the theories in those fantasy novels.

……

December 28th, Jiangzhou City.

"Another year has passed. This year our meat will be second-level magical beasts, so after eating, remember to practice your internal energy to refine it," said Jiang Chen.

"I'm not used to eating these monster meats yet." Jiang Meiyan said.

"From now on, I'll eat dragon meat and phoenix liver." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Will there really be such a day?" Jiang Meili asked.

"It will definitely happen." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "For us, the most important thing now is to improve our strength. Only when we have enough strength can we fulfill our wish."

"Brother, are there any red envelopes this year?" Jiang Meili asked.

"There are no low-grade spirit stones this year." Jiang Chen said, "We'll talk about it after we find low-grade spirit stones. Or after our family is promoted."

"So there's nothing happening for the New Year this year?" Jiang Miyeon asked.

"Only pills." How could Jiang Chen not prepare New Year's red envelopes?
The Jiang family is a family with good fortune, but they don’t even give out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. This is unacceptable.

As for those low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones, Jiang Chen planned to use them to explore the new continent.

In the evening, Jiang Chen came to Shi Yi's room.

"Why are you here today?" Shi Yi asked.

"Why did I come to you?" Jiang Chen came to Shi Yi, hugged her waist, and said, "Do you want to drive me away?"

"Isn't it possible?" Shi Yi said.

"Are you willing to do so?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's really funny. Why would I be reluctant? You have so many women, some of them are yours to go to." Shi Yi said.

"But today it's your turn." Jiang Chen said.

"..." It's timely.

"You really are good at flipping cards." Shi Yi said.

"I love each of you equally." Jiang Chen said.

"You have so much love." Shi Yi said.

"My love is endless. Even if it is divided into countless parts, it is still endless." Jiang Chen said.

"..." It's timely.

Jiang Chen picked up Shi Yi and sat on the couch.

"We have only discovered the Douqi Continent and the Qianyuan Continent this year. When do you plan to look for a new continent next year?" Shi Yi asked.

"Start preparing after the new year." Jiang Chen originally wanted to find a new continent this year, but unfortunately, he had no clue how to find it.

"How did you look for the Douqi Continent before?" Shi Yi asked.

"I learned about the overseas islands on the Sword Continent, and then used divination techniques," said Jiang Chen.

"The art of divination?" Shi Yi was stunned.

The art of divination, isn’t this fortune-telling?
"Yes, it is the art of divination." Jiang Chen repeated the situation of "Physiognomy".

"It's useless now?" Shi Yi asked.

"Now I don't know either. I just have no idea. And judging from the situation in the Douluo Continent, the new continent we find next may be more dangerous. Even though my strength has reached the Martial King Realm, it is still relatively too weak." Before going to the Douluo Continent, Jiang Chen thought that the highest realm in this fourth world was the Martial God Realm, and the Martial King Realm was not much different from the Martial God Realm.

But after arriving at the Douqi Continent, I didn't know about this.

The King of Martial Arts realm is relatively the Great Fighting Master.

This means that if there are other new continents, the warriors will be stronger.

"It doesn't matter if we can't find it in a short time. These continents are enough for us to develop now." Shi Yi said.

"I know. But the specific situation will depend on next year. I mainly want to find a new continent with spirit stones." Jiang Chen said.

"A new world with spirit stones?" Shi Yi thought for a moment and said, "Spirit stones are produced by spirit veins. So, spirit stones are equivalent to a kind of mineral resource. Can they be mined like other ores?"

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded. "So, those continents with abundant spiritual energy must have spiritual stones. If we find such a new continent, then we will have enough spiritual stones for cultivation."

Now that the Jiang family is growing larger and larger, they need a massive amount of resources for cultivation.

As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chen had to worry about this aspect.

"Don't worry, we will find such a new world one day." Shi Yi said.

"I know." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to bed early."

Shi Yi didn't say anything, but just helped Jiang Chen untie his belt.

……

Ruolan's room.

"Ruolan, Ruoxi, what are you talking about?" Jiang Chen walked into the room and saw Ruolan and Ruoxi talking and laughing.

"Husband." Ruolan stood up.

"Why are you here?" Ruoxi asked.

"Why do you think I came here?" Jiang Chen walked over.

"How should I know?" Ruoxi replied.

Jiang Chen walked over and pulled Ruolan to sit down.

"Should I leave?" Ruoxi asked.

"You can stay." Jiang Chen said.

"Why should I stay?" Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen. "What do you think?" Jiang Chen held Ruoxi's hand and said, "I heard that you and Meiyan had a lot of fun during this period."

"What do you mean by having crazy fun? We are exploring and traveling." Ruoxi replied.

"Really?" Jiang Chen naturally knew.

However, although it is an adventure in the Tagore Desert, the risk factor is relatively low.

"Next year you can go to the Warring States Continent or the Fengyun Continent to have a look." Jiang Chen said.

"Which of these two continents is safer?" Ruoxi asked.

"Almost. However, those masters are not so easy to encounter. As long as you are careful, you will be fine. Of course, the most important thing is to improve your cultivation. After all, strength is everything." Jiang Chen said.

"I understand. I'll go back first." Ruoxi said.

"Aren't you going to stay?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Brother-in-law, are you dreaming?" Ruoxi stood up and walked away, afraid that Jiang Chen would hold her back.

"Husband, do you want me to call Ruoxi?" Ruolan said.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Don't worry, she will agree one day. What's more, I am yours now." Jiang Chen said, holding Ruolan's hand.

"Well, then I will serve my husband and let him rest." Ruolan didn't think that Jiang Chen couldn't get Ruoxi, but when they were in the Qing Continent, she couldn't refuse, and she would not refuse now.

……

On January 2, the third year of Xingchen, in Jiangzhou City, Ning Zhongze’s room.

"Zhongze, do you really not want a status?" Jiang Chen asked while hugging Ning Zhongze.

"No." Ning Zhongze felt that she would be ashamed if others knew about her relationship with Jiang Chen, so she insisted on not having a formal status.

"I respect your choice. However, if you change your mind in the future, I will give you a status." The status Jiang Chen mentioned was the certification of the Zhusheng clan.

During the Chinese New Year period, Jiang Chen finally conquered Ning Zhongze.

Jiang Chen had been drooling over the heroine Ning Zhongze when he first saw her in the third world, so it had been a long-planned plan to capture Ning Zhongze.

But I didn’t expect Ning Zhongze to refuse the certification of the Zhusheng clan.

"Okay." Ning Zhongze pushed Jiang Chen and said, "It's dawn, you can leave now."

"Leave? Did I say I wanted to leave? What I just said was just an appetizer." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Ning Zhongze.

"We..." Jiang Chen looked at Ning Zhongze with a smile.

Soon, an indescribable sound was heard.

……

Jiangzhou City, Forbidden Garden.

"Jiang Chen, only 2,500 of the 3,000 Arabian horses survived, and only 2,130 were able to meet all the data." Tian Tian said to Jiang Chen.

"Three thousand, two thousand one hundred and thirty?" Jiang Chen looked at those dragon horses (the blood horses injected with dragon blood that is one million times thinner are called dragon horses).

"Jiang Chen, although this ratio is still low, it is already good, unless the blood of the true dragon is diluted again." Tian Tian said.

"A million times thinner is enough."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's start the second batch of injections."

"Jiang Chen, have you made up your mind?" Tian Tian asked.

"Okay, it's decided." Jiang Chen knew that it was impossible to get a 100% promotion.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Tian Tian said.

"I will exchange the Star Cavalry from other places with those in Jiangzhou City. I will try to transform all the Ferghana horses of the Star Cavalry and the Eagle Guard into Dragon Horses within half a year." Jiang Chen said.

"Can Longma appear on other continents?" Tian Tian asked.

"It doesn't matter. To others, the dragon horse is just a strange beast." Jiang Chen said.

"That's right." Tian Tian nodded.

……

"Little Medical Fairy, how is your practice of Yi Jin Jing going?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Yi Jin Jing can refine the toxins in the body. Now the toxins and true qi in my body have reached a balanced state." said Little Medical Fairy.

“You have a poisonous body, so everything you eat is toxic. As long as your strength keeps up, you can achieve a relative balance. But once this balance is broken, your poisonous body will erupt.” Jiang Chen felt that the current Little Medical Fairy was similar to the situation in “Fights Break Sphere” when Xiao Yan helped the Little Medical Fairy control her poisonous body.

"Then I just need to maintain this balance?" asked the Little Medical Fairy.

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but as my cultivation level improves, I think this should be solvable." In Jiang Chen's opinion, Xiao Yixian's current situation means that her cultivation level will advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.

"I understand." said the Little Medical Fairy.

"In Jiangzhou City, just treat it like you're at home. Just remember to practice hard." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." The little medical fairy nodded.

In Jiangzhou City, she felt the care of Jiang Chen and others.

……

Douqi Continent, Black Horn Region.

boom!
A loud bang was heard, and a third-level monster died.

"As for killing him."

"This third-level monster is definitely at the peak of the Martial King Realm."

"However, the strength gained from tempering my body with the blood of a true dragon is quite good."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, are you okay?" Cheng Ruoyu walked over.

"It's okay, go get the magic core." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay, what about this monster?" Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"I will collect the monsters." Jiang Chen's space ring is big enough, so the corpses of the monsters can be used as meat.

"Master, is this a demon beast?" Ah Qing asked.

Ah Qing followed Jiang Chen after participating in the Plum Blossom Internal Guard Training Card training.

Ah Qing's strength is at the middle stage of Martial King Realm.

However, although Ah Qing is skilled in swordsmanship, his internal strength is not strong.

After staying by Jiang Chen's side, Jiang Chen asked Ah Qing to practice the innate qi.

"Yes, this is a monster. In the Douqi Continent, monsters can be exchanged for money..." This time, Jiang Chen brought Cheng Ruoyu and A Qing to the Douqi Continent to kill monsters and improve their combat experience.

The challenge now is a level 3 monster.

Next, Jiang Chen prepared to challenge the fourth-level monster.

"Can these magic cores be used for cultivation?" Ah Qing asked.

"No, but you can make pills and refine weapons." Jiang Chen explained.

For the next half month, Jiang Chen, Cheng Ruoyu, and A Qing hunted monsters in the primeval forest of the Black Horn Region.

However, due to his strength, Jiang Chen did not challenge those powerful monsters.

During this half month, the strongest demon beast that Jiang Chen and his team challenged was a mid-stage Martial Emperor.

In order to deal with this monster, Jiang Chen and the other two paid a huge price.

"Young Master, there are so many medicinal herbs in this Douqi Continent." Cheng Ruoyu said.

"Well, now most of our family's medicinal materials are purchased in the Douqi Continent, especially those low-level medicinal materials, which are relatively cheaper in the Douqi Continent." Jiang Chen said.

"Then what should we do next..." Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"We have been out for half a month, and it's time to go back." Jiang Chen came out this time to adapt to the power of refining the blood of the real dragon, and Li Biyun was arranged by Jiang Chen to go to Fengyun Continent.

As for Tong Piaoyun and Li Qiu Shui, they are now practicing in seclusion in the training tower in Jiangzhou City.

"Okay." Cheng Ruoyu nodded.

Ah Qing naturally wouldn't have any objections.

……

Haiyang City.

"After nearly eight months of construction, Haiyang City has taken shape," said Jiang Chen.

"Yes, as long as the construction of Haiyang City is completed, we only need to build the roads outside Haiyang City. Maybe it can become the center of the Black Horn Region." Shi Yi said.

"This must be supported by our strength, otherwise, we will just become someone else's wedding dress, so now we can only develop secretly." Jiang Chen said.

"Jiang Chen, I'm afraid you can't hide for long." Shi Yi said.

"Yes, husband, we must find a way." Luo Shiyi Niang also said.

"I'll find a way." Jiang Chen also understood that what Shi Yi and the others said was true.

"Jiang Chen, what did you gain this time?" Wang Hui asked.

"I killed a fourth-level monster. It had the strength of a mid-stage Martial Emperor..." Jiang Chen recounted what had happened during this period.

"The magic core and fur of a fourth-level magical beast are priceless." Shi Yi said.

"Let's use it to feed our spirit beasts first. As for the funds, I plan to make pills to buy them." Jiang Chen said.

"In the Black Horn Region?" Ren Duomei asked.

"No, I plan to sell them in the Gama Empire. The Black Horn Region is too chaotic, and our pills will definitely be targeted once they are taken out." Jiang Chen's method was simple. He used his disguise skills to pretend to be an alchemist and sell pills in other places in the Gama Empire.

It can be said that the gap between medicinal materials and elixirs ranges from dozens to tens of thousands times.

The more expensive the elixir, the greater the price difference.

"That's fine." Shi Yi nodded.

……

Gama Empire, Gama Holy City.

"I didn't expect the Holy City of Gama to be so lively these days during the New Year." Jiang Chen took Yu Hailun walking on the street.

"Yes, this holy city of Gama is very lively." Yu Hailun and Cheng Ruoyu followed Jiang Chen wearing veils.

The reason for this is that Yu Hailun and Cheng Ruoyu's looks make it easy for them to get into trouble when they go out.

"Let's go and take a look ahead." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Yu Helen nodded.

Just then, there was a loud noise.

"Miss Nalan is here."

At this time, Jiang Chen heard a voice.

"Ms. Nalan? Could it be..."

Jiang Chen turned around and saw Nalan Yanran.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received ten medium-grade spirit stones. ]

"Ten middle-grade spirit stones?"

"This is good."

"After signing in and getting ten mid-grade spirit stones, I thought I would get mid-grade spirit stones this time. I didn't expect that I would actually get them."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Nalan Yanran, a character in the 18th version of "Fights Break Sphere".

In the play, she is the young master of Yunlan Sect. She was betrothed to Xiao Yan since childhood. Later, she looked down on Xiao Yan because of his declining strength and canceled the engagement without authorization. She has a cold temperament given by her noble birth, and she also has the inevitable responsibilities and pressures of a wealthy family. She always has to make difficult choices between her country and her personal feelings.

"Nalan Yanran."

“I didn’t expect to meet her in the Holy City of Gama.”

In the play, Nalan Yanran's grandfather Nalan Jie and Xiao Yan's grandfather were good friends. At that time, their grandchildren were born at the same time, so they decided to marry Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's grandfather died of serious injuries in a battle with his enemy three years later, and Xiao Yan became a waste at the age of eleven, but Nalan Jie did not regret the marriage. Since Nalan Yanran knew about the engagement, she has always wanted to cancel the engagement with Xiao Yan, but Nalan Jie, who has absolute say in the family, disagrees. Until the age of ten, she was personally accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun, the leader of the Yunlan Sect, and was promoted to a fighter at the age of thirteen. In the past five years, Nalan Yanran has shown an excellent talent for cultivation, which makes Yun Yun love her very much.

Yanran, who has the power to change her fate, comes to Xiao's house without telling Nalan Jie, and uses the Yunlan Sect to bully Xiao's family and asks them to cancel her engagement with Xiao Yan. However, Yanran's public breaking of the engagement makes Xiao Zhan lose face, and the angry Xiao Yan divorces her on the spot, and makes an agreement that Nalan Yanran will be Xiao Yan's slave for life if she loses the battle at the top of Yunlan Mountain in three years.

A year later, Yanran was promoted to Fighting Master, and two years later, she was promoted to Grand Fighting Master.

After Nalan Jie was poisoned by the branding poison, the Nalan family hired alchemists with strange fire everywhere. Nalan Yanran found Miter Yafei to help promote it. In order to get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva that can restore Yao Chen's soul power as a reward, Xiao Yan disguised himself as Yan Xiao to help Nalan Jie remove the branding poison. During this period, Nalan Yanran's affection for him gradually increased. Xiao Yan's resilience and ability to turn the tide at the alchemist conference also made Nalan Yanran admire and feel strange emotions.

After the Alchemist Conference, the three-year agreement came. Xiao Yan climbed up Yunlan Mountain and asked to leave life and death to fate in this competition. Although Nalan Yanran's cultivation was one star higher than Xiao Yan, she was still no match for his Buddha's Wrath Lotus. Xiao Yan, who used the strange fire, also exposed his identity as a rock owl. In order to live up to the reputation of the sect and fulfill the agreement, the defeated Nalan Yanran chose to commit suicide. Xiao Yan, who was unwilling to fall out with Yunlan Sect, stopped it and burned the divorce letter, indicating that the agreement between the two had ended and there would be no relationship between the two parties from then on...

The story about Nalan Yanran emerged in Jiang Chen's mind.

At this moment, Yu Helen's voice came from the side: "Jiang Chen."

"Let's go." Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Chen didn't think that Nalan Yanran did anything wrong by going to the Xiao family to cancel the engagement.

Because at that time Xiao Yan was just a waste.

How could a gifted person marry a loser?
Women will only marry higher, not lower.

Well, Nalan Yanran and Zhan Doudou were played by the same actor in the previous life. The difference is that Zhan Doudou has the dignity of an emperor, while Nalan Yanran is a proud young lady.

"Is the Miss Nalan just now a member of the Nalan family?" Cheng Ruoyu asked.

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of the Nalan family." Yu Hailun said.

"The Nalan Family is one of the three major families in the Gama Empire. The patriarch of the Nalan Family, Nalan Jie, is one of the top ten strongest men in the Gama Empire and possesses the strength of a six-star Dou Wang. He was once the Lionheart Marshal of the Gama Empire and single-handedly killed the fifth-level demon beast, the Iron Poison Seal Python. Now Nalan Yanran has joined the Yunlan Sect, the first force in the Gama Empire. You can imagine how powerful the Nalan Family is." Jiang Chen said.

"So, in the Gama Empire, the three major families can do whatever they want." When Cheng Ruoyu and Jiang Chen killed a fourth-level monster before, they knew how difficult it was to kill a fourth-level monster, so they had a clear understanding of the strength of the Nalan family.

"Yes, strength is everything, and the strong are respected." Jiang Chen nodded.

After touring the Holy City of Gama, Jiang Chen and his friends returned to the Jiang Mansion.

In the holy city of Gama, the Jiang family is very low-key.

Even in the shops in the holy city of Gama, they only sell ordinary goods.

However, it was precisely because of their low-key style that the Jiang family was able to develop rapidly.

After returning to Jiang Mansion, Jiang Chen asked Wang Xining and the others, "Are the things ready?"

"It's ready." Wang Xining replied.

"That's good. I'll leave today." This time, Jiang Chen was planning to go to other places in the Jia Ma Empire to sell pills.

For Jiang Chen, it was very easy to get some low-level elixir recipes from the Douqi Continent.

As long as you have the recipe, it is not difficult to make the elixir.

"Then Jiang Chen, you have to be careful." Sister Yin said.

"Well, I'll be back as soon as possible." Jiang Chen nodded.

An hour later, Jiang Chen left the Holy City of Gama and headed for other cities in the Gama Empire.

In the next month, Jiang Chen went to fifteen cities in the Jia Ma Empire and sold a large number of second- and third-grade elixirs after disguising himself.

"The currency system of Douqi Continent is indeed different."

“It’s so easy to make money.”

On February 15th, Jiang Chen returned to the Jiang Mansion in the Holy City of Gama.

"You made so much money?"

Yu Hailun and others were stunned.

"Thirty million gold coins, in addition, there are various medicinal materials. I made a fortune this time." Jiang Chen said.

"How do you make so much money?" asked Buyinlou.

"Because of the distance." Jiang Chen said.

"Distance?" Buyinlou was stunned.

"The Black Horn Region and the Gama Empire are more than 1000 kilometers apart, and the prices of the same elixir in the two places are completely different." Jiang Chen remembered that in "Battle Through the Heavens", the auction price of the seventh-grade top-level elixir Yin Yang Xuanlong Pill in the Black Horn Region was about 280 million gold coins, while the price in the Gama Empire was about million gold coins. This price difference is mainly due to the fact that the Black Horn Region is a larger market, its economic activities are more frequent, and the demand is higher, so the price is also correspondingly higher.

Well, the same goes for those low-level elixirs.

The difference is that the price of low-level elixirs in the Black Horn Region is low, while the price of low-level elixirs in the Gama Empire is high. This is also because the alchemists in the Black Horn Region refine more low-level elixirs.

"So, we can make a profit from the price difference in the future?" Yu Helun said.

"Yes, our family teleportation talisman is the best means of transportation. It only costs one hundred taels of gold per person at a time, which is equivalent to one hundred gold coins, but the price difference of the elixir is thousands or tens of thousands." Jiang Chen said.

"The Jia Ma Empire is so large, and there are countless fighters. Even if the big cities are saturated with elixirs, the small cities are not saturated. So, we can completely target those small places." Yu Hailun said.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Using the countryside to surround the cities, this may be one of the ways for us to make money in the Jiama Empire."

"But we don't have any strong people." Yu Hailun said.

"I plan to train a group of fox hunters and improve their strength to the innate realm. The strength of the innate realm is equivalent to that of a fighter, which should be enough to sell pills in those small places." Jiang Chen said.

The Fox Hunter that Jiang Chen was talking about was the Fox Hunter who used the Black Kirin enhanced training card.

Only the Fox Hunter Killer trained with the Black Kirin Enhanced Training Card can reach the Innate Realm in a short period of time.

"We happen to have slaves at home." said Buyinlou.

"I will go for training later. From now on, the Star Caravan in the Gama Empire must be reorganized to focus on reselling pills and purchasing medicinal materials." Jiang Chen said.

"Husband, didn't you conquer the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in Qingshan Town before? We can also make use of it." Sister Yin said.

"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group must be used.

What's more, his layout is not limited to the Gama Empire.

In the northwest region of the Douqi Continent, the Gama Empire is just a medium-sized country.

"Mr. Jiang, most of the gold coins are now in gold deposit cards, which may also be a problem." Yu Hailun said.

"Then we can purchase medicinal herbs and exchange gold coins at the same time. By the way, how is the gold mining in the Gama Empire? Will you get involved?" Jiang Chen said.

"Yes, as long as we are strong enough, there will be no problem in mining gold." Yu Hailun said.

"Okay, that's decided." Jiang Chen nodded.

An hour later, Jiang Chen used ten low-grade spirit stones and a training card synthesizer to synthesize the Black Kirin Enhanced Training Card, and then used five thousand taels of gold and five low-grade spirit stones to use the Black Kirin Enhanced Training Card.

"In half a month, these thirty fox hunters will be successfully trained."

"As long as you have enough training resources, you can break through to the Xiantian realm in a short period of time."

"With the strength of a fighter, you can still do a lot in the Gama Empire."

Jiang Chen murmured.

……

Warring States Continent, Gusu City, Royal Palace.

"Yan Yan, how is the war with the State of Chu going now?" Jiang Chen asked.

In early February of this year, the Embroidered Uniform Guard received news that the State of Chu was mobilizing troops to attack the State of Wu.

At that time, Jiang Chen was in the Douqi Continent, so he asked Xiao Yanyan to handle the matter through the family communication center.

"The State of Chu has gathered 100,000 troops and is preparing to go down the river to attack our State of Wu. Among these 100,000 troops, there are 20,000 naval forces, 30,000 chariot soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry. This is the relevant information..." Xiao Yanyan handed a piece of information to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen opened it and started reading.

"I have already dispatched Sun Wu to lead 10,000 Yuejun soldiers (after destroying the Yue State, 20,000 Yue soldiers were reorganized. Now these 20,000 Yue soldiers are the Yuejun soldiers of the Wu State) and 20,000 Wuwei Battalion and 5,000 navy to fight against the Chu State." Xiao Yanyan said.

"It's impossible for Chu to attack us without any reason."

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Now that Fu Chai is dead, I, Jiang Chen, rule the Wu Kingdom, so revenge is impossible. Unless the Chu Kingdom thinks that our Wu Kingdom has just changed dynasties, they want to destroy us when we are still unstable. The reason why they didn't send troops last year was because of the war with the Jin Kingdom."

"I think so too. Moreover, the combat effectiveness we demonstrated in the battle with Wei last year made Chu worried," said Xiao Yanyan.

"Although we Wu don't have many soldiers and horses, facing Chu shouldn't be a problem with Sun Wu here. But I don't think Chu is the only one taking action," said Jiang Chen.

"Your Majesty is right."

Xiao Yanyan took out another piece of intelligence and said, "According to the news from the Jinyiwei, Chu has contacted Qi, and now troops are gathering in the southern part of Qi. It won't be long before Qi will send out troops."

"How likely is it that Qi will send troops?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Although Qi has not officially sent troops, according to the current situation, Qi will definitely send troops by April at the latest. Moreover, if it is only Qi that sends troops, it would be fine. I am worried that Wei and Song will also send troops. After all, we sent troops to Wei before and made enemies with Wei. As for Song, if Wei and Qi send troops, they will have to send troops as well." Xiao Yanyan said.

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, let's play a big one..."
