246: Born Chaotic Body

Old Master Jiang and Steward Jiang were both shocked. “This... could it be true? Xiaoyu is an Innate Chaos Body?”

One must understand that an Innate Physique is incredibly rare and hard to come by, and the Chaos Body is an existence coveted by countless Cultivators.

If Jiang Shuyu truly is an Innate Chaos Body, this is absolutely a priceless treasure for the Jiang Family.

Feng Ming stood to the side, smiling without a word.

Without a doubt, Jiang Shuyu was the Innate Chaos Body. When he had just investigated, he already sensed the affinity that her Qi had for his own aura.

In the end, it even completely swallowed his aura.

That is why Feng Ming felt this was a case of the Heavens chasing after someone to feed them.

Although he also possessed the Chaos Body, his was given by the System, a Physique he obtained after diligently doting on his wife.

But Jiang Shuyu was different; she was born with the Chaos Body inherently.

Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, there is a huge difference between an Innate Physique and an Acquired Physique.

This is also why, despite both being Chaos Bodies, Jiang Shuyu's aura could swallow his.

To put it simply, she was just stronger.

However, Feng Ming didn't particularly care about Jiang Shuyu, as she only had the Chaos Body and couldn't compare to a Cheat like him, who possessed the System.

But one thing was certain: once Jiang Shuyu's Physique was exposed, even the Jiang Family's Old Ancestor, Jiang Qinghe, would regard her highly.

The Jiang Family really stumbled upon a treasure this time!

Steward Jiang excitedly asked, "Old Master, why don't we test it?"

Old Master Jiang was somewhat hesitant, but thinking of the legendary Innate Chaos Body, he finally nodded.

Old Master Jiang tapped his finger between Jiang Shuyu's eyebrows, and instantly, Jiang Shuyu fell into a deep sleep.

Steward Jiang placed Jiang Shuyu's small hand onto his palm. Although he felt reluctant, he still gently nicked her tiny finger.

A tiny scratch appeared on Jiang Shuyu's pink, tender finger, and blood seeped out.

Everyone, including Feng Ming, focused their gazes on the wound. Unexpectedly, after only three seconds, the wound began to heal automatically, as if by a miracle.

Five seconds later, the wound had completely vanished. Aside from a drop of squeezed-out blood that hadn't dried yet, there was no trace of the injury left.

Seeing this scene, Pill Obsessive couldn't help but exclaim, "The Chaos Body! This is the Innate Chaos Body!"

"Congratulations, Old Master Jiang! Hearty congratulations!"

Feng Ming also praised, "An Innate Chaos Body! The Jiang Family is set to flourish for a thousand years!"

First, there is Jiang Qinghe with the Dual Pupils, and now Jiang Shuyu with the Chaos Body. As long as these two remain, they can guarantee the Jiang Family peace for a thousand years.

The Innate Chaos Body made Feng Ming incredibly envious.

This was clearly a case of the pirated version meeting the genuine article.

However, Feng Ming wasn't too bothered. By the time Jiang Shuyu grew up, he would definitely already be a powerhouse in his own right.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Old Master Jiang was also overwhelmed with excitement, hugging Jiang Shuyu and reluctant to let go.

After a long while, he finally allowed Steward Jiang to take Jiang Shuyu back to rest.

Meanwhile, Pill Obsessive sidled up to Feng Ming. "Master, when are we leaving?"

Feng Ming said speechlessly, "Who is your Master? Don't tell me you plan to follow me?"

Pill Obsessive said, "You are my Master. If I don't follow you, where would I go? Master, you wouldn't abandon your disciple, would you?"

"Your disciple is all alone, utterly desolate. Can you bear to leave me?"

Feng Ming cursed, "You're seventy or eighty years old, and you're still desolate? Why don't you ask for your mommy?"

"I don't want a mommy, I want a Master!"

Feng Ming was truly speechless.

However, this guy was at least a Ninth-Rank Alchemist now. If he could really recruit him for his own use, that wouldn't be bad!

This matter couldn't be rushed; he had to take it slow.

Thinking this, Feng Ming immediately said, "Old Master Jiang, since the matter has been resolved and I have received the items, if there is nothing else, this Junior will take his leave..."

Before Feng Ming could finish, Old Master Jiang grabbed his wrist. "Young friend, don't rush. If you hadn't intervened today, this old man still wouldn't understand my granddaughter's Physique condition. Such a great kindness cannot be repaid with just one stalk of Ninth-Rank Medicinal Herb."

"To be honest, whether because of what happened today or your superb Alchemy skills! I, this old man, truly wish to befriend you and become close friends! What do you think, young friend?"

Hearing this, Feng Ming cupped his hands and bowed.

"Since Senior regards me so highly, how could this Junior possibly refuse!"

Old Master Jiang laughed, "In that case, to show my gratitude to the young friend! How about I invite you to my residence in two days for a banquet?"

Hearing this, Feng Ming appeared somewhat hesitant.

"Does the young friend have some difficulty?"

Feng Ming said awkwardly, "To be honest, I have a Trial coming up in a few days! The banquet might have to wait three months!"

"Three months? No, no, that's too long!" Thinking aloud, Old Master Jiang said, "How about this: we schedule our banquet for the day of the Expedition Banquet?"

Hearing this, Feng Ming was even more shocked. "Absolutely not, Old Master Jiang."

"What's wrong? Does the young friend think my banquet is inferior to the Expedition Banquet? To tell you the truth, that Expedition Banquet is just a formality!"

"The food there is just mass-produced slop; it's not delicious at all. You'd be better off coming here to my place, where I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Feng Ming quickly waved his hand. "Senior misunderstands. That's not what I meant. In fact, I wasn't planning on attending the Expedition Banquet myself. I wanted to use that time to accompany my wife to have a reunion dinner with her mother."

"Old Master Jiang, I won't hide it from you. My wife is a daughter who married out of the Jiang Family residence, but her status is low, and her mother has no say within the residence. On the day of the Expedition Banquet, they definitely won't be among the invited, so we wanted to take advantage of the convenience when fewer people are around."

Old Master Jiang nodded, then asked with some confusion, "Then why don't you go during these two days?"

Feng Ming shook his head. "My wife is indeed eager to see her mother and anxious to visit. However, the Family Head established a rule that visitors must submit a Visiting Card, even daughters who have married out. The Visiting Card was submitted yesterday, but we don't know when it will be approved."

"We heard that the residence where my mother-in-law lives caught fire last night, which made my wife even more worried. Therefore, I fear I must decline your kind offer and wait for news at home!"

Of course, by this point, Feng Ming was no longer just speaking casually.

Feng Ming had long suspected that Old Master Jiang's status was extraordinary, but the Jiang Family had a large population and complex relationships, so he couldn't determine the other party's exact identity. However, judging by his age, he could guess he was of the same generation as Jiang Qinghe.

Even if he was just an uncle, the Jiang Family Head would have to address him respectfully. The reason he told him all this was indirectly to seek justice for Jiang Shuwan and her mother.
