Chapter 917: No Lack of Money
"Probably around 10,000 taels of gold." said the old man of the Wang family.
"That's right." The Great Elder nodded and then fell silent.
Seeing this, the old man of the Wang family sighed secretly.
Jiang Chen took back the Soul Stone, but was unwilling to hand it over. This was not the result they wanted.
"Brother, I remember that night, Jiang Chen was very close to the daughter of the Zhao family."
The third elder suddenly spoke.
He is the eldest son of the Wang family and Wang Hao's father.
"Although the Jiang family is greedy, they are not short of money. They don't seem like the kind of people who can't afford the soul stone. Could he be hiding it on purpose?" The Great Elder guessed.
"Jiang Chen must be hiding something." The head of the Wang family murmured.
After hearing this, everyone in the Wang family fell silent and the atmosphere became heavy.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't alert the enemy." The Great Elder said seriously.
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
"That's right."
Suddenly, the elder seemed to think of something and said, "I just heard that Zhao Qing, the daughter of the Zhao family, has a close relationship with that man."
"Oh?" Wang Hao narrowed his eyes and his face darkened.
………
"How is your recovery going?"
Jiang Chen returned to his room and asked about the Dragon-Tiger Pill in the furnace.
A rich medicinal aroma wafted out of the alchemy furnace.
After five days of hard work, dozens of Dragon and Tiger Pills have gathered in the furnace.
"Almost recovered." Long Hudan replied.
During these days, its cultivation has made further progress.
"That's good."
Jiang Chen nodded. He was still worried that there might be problems with the alchemy furnace.
"But during this period of time, the alchemy furnace is not suitable to stay in the storage ring." Jiang Chen said.
The alchemy furnace requires a quiet environment in order to completely consolidate the cultivation.
So Jiang Chen took the alchemy furnace to the courtyard.
He threw the Dragon-Tiger Pills into the furnace one by one, causing the furnace to boil.
The pill slowly melted.
Boom!
Suddenly, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and strong winds blew.
"Dan tribulation!"
Jiang Chen said in surprise.
The Dragon-Tiger Pill is a top-grade elixir, so the pill tribulation it produces is naturally powerful.
Unfortunately, the level of the Dragon Tiger Pill is still a little low.
"This pill tribulation should not last long."
Jiang Chen murmured.
The amount of pills in the furnace became less and less, and finally it stopped working.
There were a total of four Dragon- Tiger Pills suspended in the air.
Jiang Chen put the pill away and took out another one. This pill was emerald green all over and filled with a peculiar medicinal fragrance.
Jiang Chen swallowed it without hesitation and immediately felt the pure medicinal effect.
"It's actually a sixth-grade elixir!"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
He originally thought he could condense a fifth-grade elixir, but unexpectedly he could directly refine a sixth-grade elixir.
"I am very close to becoming a seventh-grade alchemist."
Jiang Chen said excitedly that he would be able to advance to the seventh rank soon.
"Huh?"
Just when Jiang Chen was excited, he suddenly discovered that his strength had actually increased!
Jiang Chen checked carefully and found that his strength had increased a lot.
This situation is because his strength has reached innate perfection!
In other words, Jiang Chen's current realm can be said to be the peak of the ninth level of Martial Emperor.
"I didn't expect that a sixth-grade elixir would allow me to reach the ninth level of Martial Emperor."
Jiang Chen was ecstatic. He didn't expect the Dragon Tiger Pill to have such an effect.
"It seems that we have to complete the mission and return as soon as possible."
"Not only can it help me break through, but it can also help me break through again in strength."
Jiang Chen thought about it, and he now urgently wanted to return to Xuanhuang Continent and find a way to Shenzhou.
Soon, Jiang Chen prepared to leave .
“Buzz.”
Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt a tremor in his waist.
"Could it be Zhao Qing's message?"
Jiang Chen thought to himself and took out the token from his waist. A message came into his sight.
"What's wrong with her?"
Looking at this message, Jiang Chen's face changed drastically.
Zhao Qing told him that she was in danger and hoped he would go and save her.
This made Jiang Chen frown, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Without delay, Jiang Chen immediately headed for the Zhao family.
When we arrived at Zhao's house, the door was closed and there was a plaque on the door with the words "Zhao Mansion" written on it.
Outside the Zhao Mansion, there is tight security.
Jiang Chen was discovered as soon as he approached here.
"Who?"
The guard shouted, blocking his way.
"Get out of the way." Jiang Chen said indifferently.
The guards looked displeased, as they could see that Jiang Chen was at the innate realm.
"Go away."
Jiang Chen's tone became more serious and he kicked the two guards in front of him away.
"There's an assassin! Protect the ancestor!"
The two guards screamed and fell to the ground wailing.
The guards of the Zhao Mansion reacted immediately and rushed into the Zhao Mansion.
Jiang Chen took a step inside and was instantly surrounded in the center.
"Stop! Or you will be killed without mercy."
The guards of the Zhao residence drew their swords and shouted loudly.
They could see that Jiang Chen was a martial artist at the innate level, but they were not afraid.
"Get out of the way."
Jiang Chen spat out two words coldly, and his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Bang!
Several dull noises were heard.
All the guards of the Zhao Mansion were knocked to the ground.
Jiang Chen went straight into the depths of the Zhao family, leaving behind a group of guards groaning in pain.
Deep inside the Zhao family, in a quiet villa, a woman was sitting in a pavilion drinking tea.
Opposite her stood two old men, dressed in black and exuding murderous aura.
These two old men are both fifth-rank alchemists and the Zhao family’s highest fighting force.
The woman put down the teacup in her hand and looked up at the two old men.
"Ma'am, this is not your fault."
The two old men bowed their heads and said respectfully.
"No matter what, the Zhao family has lost three fifth-grade alchemists."
The woman said, her beautiful eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"Madam, this kid dared to break in. He must be killed!"
An old man in black gritted his teeth and said this, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Do you think he can be killed easily?"
The woman shook her head, with a smile in her eyes, as if she saw through everything.
"lady?"
The old man in black looked at her in confusion.
"Since he dared to break in, he must have made every possible preparation," the woman said calmly.
"Madam, what you mean is..."
After hearing this, the two old men understood.
"His background is definitely not ordinary. Now that the Zhao family has suffered a devastating disaster, perhaps we can use this opportunity to win him over." The woman looked into the distance.
"But that boy is only a second-grade alchemist."
"Humph, I think you are blinded by anger. How can a second-grade alchemist give away a bottle of Dragon Tiger Pill casually?"
The woman said disdainfully, she knew what the old man in black was thinking.
"Let's follow that young man first and find out where he came from."
"yes."
The old man in black nodded in agreement, and took two companions to follow Jiang Chen's trail.
…
Jiang Chen came to the Zhao Mansion's treasure house, which was the Zhao Mansion's secret base.
There are many guards guarding around the treasure house.
In addition, a depressing atmosphere shrouds the place, giving people tremendous pressure.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed that there was a bed in the corner with a wooden box next to it.
