230: Refining the Jadeite Ice Fruit, everyone's talents are improved

The Red-Robed Youth saw Chu Jiang flying towards him, and his smile instantly vanished. He said awkwardly, "Chu Garrison Envoy..."

"Stop with the nonsense. Hand over the items!" Chu Jiang said coldly, his hands radiating a chilling aura.

The Huangquan Pavilion Master beside him showed great joy. This evil person truly needed an evil person to deal with him; he had been completely robbed.

With Chu Jiang, this harbinger of misfortune, in the Secret Realm, who besides Wang Xuance would dare to challenge him? It was truly satisfying.

The Red-Robed Youth's Face was grim. He could only decisively throw out the several Storage Pouches in his hand. He knew that if he didn't hand them over, he would certainly Face unpleasant consequences.

Chu Jiang saw the Heaven And Earth Treasure piled up like mountains in the Storage Pouches, the most precious of which were naturally the thirty-odd Jade Marrow Ice Fruits.

With these items, combined with vast resources, the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division would have dozens of transcendents in a short period.

Their strength would skyrocket, making them the Demon Suppression Division second only to Huangzhou in the west.

Killing and arson bring wealth.

It's faster to rob others.

The treasures others painstakingly collected all benefited him.

Chu Jiang put all these items into his purple gold gourd, then returned the empty Storage Pouches to the Red-Robed Youth, saying, "You may leave!"

Such a perfect treasure-delivering boy should naturally be used a second time; otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.

He would bear the bad reputation.

He would take the benefits.

After receiving his Storage Pouches, the Red-Robed Youth's Face was terrifyingly red. He immediately ran away without looking back, having worked hard to rob all day for nothing.

Damn it.

No, I must stay far away from him.

I can't deal with him yet.

Seeing the Red-Robed Youth leave, the Huangquan Pavilion Master laughed, "Thank you, Chu Garrison Envoy, for your great kindness; otherwise, that brat would have succeeded!"

He was naturally exceptionally excited to see the person who robbed him get humiliated.

"Chu Garrison Envoy, shouldn't you return my share? It's not valuable, and with your status, you probably wouldn't care for it," the Huangquan Pavilion Master said with a fawning smile.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jiang said sternly:

"I ask you, who robbed you?"

Huangquan Pavilion Master: "It was that show-off in red robes, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this.

Chu Jiang's Face instantly turned cold. "You know who robbed you, yet you don't go find him and instead come to me. Do you think this seat is weak and easily bullied!"

His serious expression made him look completely like a golden statue.

Huangquan Pavilion Master: "..."

Damn it.

It's true I was robbed by him.

But the items ultimately ended up in your hands.

And...

You, weak and easily bullied???

Ten thousand profanities instantly flashed through his mind.

In the entire Tai Xuan Secret Realm, you are the most overbearing!

However.

Chu Jiang ignored his little schemes. His figure flickered, and he flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"Damn it, he can still fly so fast even when suppressed? What a monster!"

If I can't provoke him, I can at least avoid him.

With that said.

He directly flew in the opposite direction of Chu Jiang. It wasn't that he couldn't fly, but the suppression of Heaven And Earth consumed too much magical power.

...

Chu Jiang flew all the way, searching a thousand-mile radius, but found nothing, not even a shadow of a demon.

On the first layer, any decent Heaven And Earth Treasure was guarded by demons.

But there were none on the second layer.

It was truly strange.

It was as if they were waiting for people to take them.

"Let's see if these Jade Marrow Ice Fruits can improve Aptitude first."

Logically speaking.

For someone who can step into the Faxiang Realm, second-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure should have no effect on him. Let's try it first, eat a few of them.

He held a Jade Marrow Ice Fruit and opened his panel.

[Year One, you circulate the Azure Wood Emperor Skill and refine the Jade Marrow Ice Fruit. Your Aptitude slightly improves.]

[Year Two, you refine the second Jade Marrow Ice Fruit. Your Aptitude slightly improves.]

...

[Year Nine, you refine the ninth Jade Marrow Ice Fruit. Your accumulation reaches its limit, and your talent evolves again.]

[Year Ten, you refine the tenth Jade Marrow Ice Fruit. No improvement.]

...

Chu Jiang looked at the talent column; it had risen another level.

[Realm: Faxiang First Layer]

[Talent: Prodigy (First-Class)]

Feeling good.

Actually.

Just one Jade Marrow Ice Fruit can give someone the Aptitude of a transcendent. The main reason is that Chu Jiang's Realm is too high, requiring a huge expenditure.

This is easy to understand.

Increasing the energy of a cup of water to Spirit Liquid and increasing the water of an entire lake to Spirit Liquid naturally cannot be compared in terms of resources consumed.

This type of spiritual object that enhances talent is more effective the younger the age and the lower the Realm.

Conversely, the same holds true.

Chu Jiang's figure disappeared again, returning to the main group.

Soon after.

In the snowy ground.

A group of Demon Suppression Guards were busy scavenging everywhere with their Storage Pouches, having a great time.

"Sir, you're back!"

Wang Chao and the others showed joyful expressions.

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, then looked at a figure in the distance.

"Fu Yunxuan!"

"Your subordinate is here, what are your orders, Sir?"

Fu Yunxuan smiled faintly, her short hair fluttering in the biting cold wind, like a proud plum blossom in the snow, heroic and spirited.

"These are Jade Marrow Ice Fruits, which can improve Aptitude. I will be your Protector; refine them as quickly as possible!"

Chu Jiang took out several Jade Marrow Ice Fruits and handed them to Fu Yunxuan.

"Yes!"

Fu Yunxuan's eyes lit up. Knowing the preciousness of the Jade Marrow Ice Fruits, she immediately sat down cross-legged, preparing to refine them.

As the Jade Marrow Ice Fruits entered her mouth, Fu Yunxuan felt an exceptionally cool Qi, like surging waves, flowing down her throat and into her body.

It was like a massive tide of energy, churning and rushing within her body.

She fully circulated her Cultivation Technique, attempting to guide this Spiritual Qi. However, the effect was minimal; this Spiritual Qi was like an unbridled wild horse, crashing everywhere.

"So cold!"

An extreme coldness swept over her completely.

"Mmm..."

Fu Yunxuan instantly felt a pair of warm hands touch her back, dispelling the extreme cold. All the energy was instantly broken down and guided, steadily nourishing all her bones and roots.

Then came the second, the third...

She refined a total of five Jade Marrow Ice Fruits before stopping.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, her Face filled with surprise.

"Thank you, Sir!" Fu Yunxuan felt her Aptitude improve, several times more than before, like a Phoenix undergoing Nirvana, Rebirth from the ashes.

Chu Jiang showed a satisfied smile and called out several more names.

"Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhao Hu!"

"Your subordinates are here!"

"Sit down and refine!"

"Yes!"

The three showed joyful expressions, understanding this was a great Opportunity.

Chu Jiang also acted as their Protector.

Soon.

The talents of the three of them all stepped into the ranks of the transcendent.

As for why it was so slow on the panel.

Nothing else.

A minimum of one year was required.

In any case, ten years of Lifespan was a drop in the bucket.

Afterward.

According to the order of the merit book and their talents, six more Demon Suppression Guards were selected.

The entire personal army had ten people with transcendent Aptitude.

As for the remaining few, they were naturally for others in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

They would be given to Commander Zuo and the others to distribute.

At this moment.

All the Demon Suppression Guards looked at Chu Jiang with determined eyes.

How could they not pledge their lives to follow a superior who knew how to seek benefits for his subordinates?

Under Chu Jiang's command, even the most ordinary Demon Suppression Guard received treatment at the Centurion level.

Chu Jiang's expression was calm.

He was never stingy with those who followed him; his subordinates' strength growing.

He would also have Face when he went out.

One day.

A loud bang echoed in the sky.

"By a certain decree, exterminate the rebels!"

Full of swagger.

...

At this moment.

In the Secret Realm, even after Chu Jiang had plundered a portion, a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure still fell into the hands of others.

And it was very easy.

They encountered no resistance whatsoever.

Everyone's desire was piqued, believing that the Tai Xuan Secret Realm was nothing special.

There was no danger at all.

Everyone began to advance towards the forbidden third layer of the Tai Xuan Secret Realm...
