75: Mediation Pill

"Father, Aunt, let me take a trip to Yunzhou. I will capture him and bring him to the Royal Family to answer for his crimes, avenging Brother Hao."

Eldest Young Master Yang Xuance spoke up.

He secretly clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. The look of grief and indignation on his face was chilling, and tears shimmered in his eyes.

Deep down, he sneered.

Ever since his father married this Fei Ruji, he had been completely bewitched by her, even naming him as the Heir, set to inherit the throne in the future.

For the offspring of a concubine to inherit the throne was simply absurd.

Even if he hadn't been killed by Chu Jiang today, he would have found a way to finish him off himself.

Now that Chu Jiang had killed him, it saved him the trouble.

"Eldest Young Master, your status is noble. Let me make the trip instead!"

"The Heir of the Zhennan Royal Family cannot die in vain."

"I will make him pay the price he deserves."

A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a chilling Aura of killing intent stood there. His entire body radiated a powerful Aura; he was clearly a Late Stage Grandmaster.

Just at this moment.

Prince Zhennan suddenly spoke.

"No one is allowed to go!"

"That rebellious son harmed the common people and colluded with demons; he deserved to die!"

"Are you not embarrassed enough? Get out, all of you! Get out..."

Prince Zhennan looked decrepit, yet his Aura remained imposing, and every word was filled with majesty.

"Husband, he was your own son..." Fei Ruji said, her face streaming with tears.

"You get out too! I do not have such a son. Colluding with demons—he deserved to die!"

"Pass down my royal decree: from this day forth, Yang Tianhao is expelled from the Zhennan Royal Family. He is no longer a member of the Zhennan Royal Family, nor is he my son."

Prince Zhennan said coldly.

Fei Ruji was a bit bewildered; she did not know what kind of madness had taken hold of the old man.

Usually, he was completely obedient to her, and this was the first time she had seen him turn hostile like this.

But a Prince is a Prince.

Once an order was issued, no one dared to disobey, and they all withdrew from the hall one after another.

Outside the hall.

Fei Ruji found the Grandmaster expert, "Jin Rilun, you must bring back that boy's head to pay tribute to my son! This old man is acting very strange today. Could he have discovered the affair between us?"

After the intense battle with old Prince Zhennan that night, she had engaged in another battle with him the next day. She wasn't even sure whose Bloodline the child in her womb truly was.

However, Jin Rilun firmly believed that the child was his own flesh and blood.

The reason was that old Prince Zhennan's time was too short, while he had continued the output for a full hour.

Jin Rilun shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible. If he had really discovered something, given his personality, he would have been furious long ago."

"That's true."

Inside the Royal Palace.

A figure suddenly appeared, like a towering mountain, with an overbearing Aura, standing with their back to Prince Zhennan.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Old Prince Zhennan lowered his head.

Sword King Sect.

Gu Hongchen's entire body trembled after hearing the subordinate's report.

Damn it.

Chu Jiang's kick had shattered his leg bone, and it still hadn't recovered. The hope of reaching the Martial Grandmaster realm was slim, yet Chu Jiang was living it up.

"I will not let you have it easy, Chu Jiang. I will make you pay the price!"

Gu Hongchen's roar echoed from inside the room.

Ten days later.

Chu Jiang walked out of the Heavenly Origin Pool.

"Chief Chu, Lord Pacification Envoy wants you to go to the Demon Suppression Hall." A Demon Suppression Guard stepped forward to report.

"Alright, I understand."

Chu Jiang nodded and headed to the Demon Suppression Hall.

It just so happened that he had something to ask Lord Pacification Envoy. He didn't know how to control the Demon relic he had obtained, so he could let him take a look.

When Chu Jiang stepped into the hall, Ye Lingkong looked at him with a slight flicker in his eyes:

"Middle Stage Grandmaster!"

This kid's talent is truly Heaven-Defying.

"Ahem... Lord Pacification Envoy, I have something to tell you. I've drained the Heavenly Origin Pool dry!"

Chu Jiang smiled awkwardly.

"What?" Ye Lingkong stood up.

The pure energy within the Heavenly Origin Pool had accumulated over time, slowly condensing. For these years, it had basically been in a state of accumulation, rarely used.

The accumulated energy was enough for a person to go from nothing to Cultivating to the Great Grandmaster realm.

No wonder he broke through directly to the Middle Stage Grandmaster realm; it turns out he had squeezed the Heavenly Origin Pool dry.

Chu Jiang asked: "Can this be restored?"

"You don't need to worry about that. The energy of the Heavenly Origin Pool will recover automatically after being drained, but it will be slow. If you want to use it effectively again, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few years."

Ye Lingkong said slowly. He didn't feel pained by the resources spent on Chu Jiang, but he was surprised that Chu Jiang could actually absorb all the energy of the Heavenly Origin Pool.

"That's good!"

"The reason I called you here this time is that your Creation-Turning Pill has arrived!"

Ye Lingkong said with a faint smile.

As he spoke, he handed a treasure box to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang put the treasure box away.

He took out the Demon relic from his embrace: "Lord Pacification Envoy, this is the Demon relic I obtained after destroying that summoning altar. Is there a way to control it?"

Ye Lingkong took the purple glowing bead and examined it for a moment, then said: "This is called the Void Demon Eye Bead. It can escape into the Void Realm, but only high-level demons know how to control it. Human Race Martial Artists cannot control it."

"You can leave it with me for now. I will consecrate it for you to see if I can change its demonic attributes. You can come and retrieve it after I succeed."

Chu Jiang looked happy and said: "Then I thank you, Lord Pacification Envoy."

"Mm, I will go study it first!"

After speaking, Ye Lingkong instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Chu Jiang shook his head.

It seems Lord Pacification Envoy is quite interested in this bead. Letting him study it is fine; if it stayed with him, he couldn't control it anyway, so it wouldn't be able to unleash its power.

Leaving the Demon Suppression Hall.

Chu Jiang thought as he walked.

If he wanted to fuse a Grandmaster-level martial art, which would be a peak martial art, those few manuals from the Cao Gang simply weren't enough.

The Cao Gang's martial arts were mostly palm techniques, with very few blade techniques.

The same went for movement techniques.

He calculated that to fuse one Grandmaster-level martial art, he needed at least eight martial arts of the same type.

He came to the Scripture Pavilion once again.

He exchanged for over twenty martial arts from the first floor, a dozen or so each of movement and blade techniques.

As for fist and palm techniques, he wouldn't consider them for now, because the Fusion process would consume Lifespan, and he was afraid he wouldn't have enough.

"Seeking inspiration for a Breakthrough from low-level martial arts—your idea is quite good!"

This time, when the Scripture Pavilion Elder saw Chu Jiang exchanging for so many low-level martial arts, he no longer tried to dissuade him, guessing that it might be because his martial arts had hit a Bottleneck.

Anyway, the thinking of a Genius is unusual. If he were like ordinary people, he wouldn't be called a Genius.

Chu Jiang laughed and didn't explain.

The Scripture Pavilion Elder's assessment wasn't actually wrong.

The total price was 530 points, and he spent 265 contribution points to take them.

Remaining contribution points: 1,485.

Back at his residence, Chu Jiang opened the treasure box given to him by Lord Pacification Envoy.

A round, jade-like precious pill appeared before his eyes, surrounded by blue and yellow colors, looking extremely extraordinary.

He picked up the Creation-Turning Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

A moment later.

His body had absolutely no reaction.

After the Creation-Turning Pill entered his stomach, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, not causing even a ripple.

"It seems Lord Pacification Envoy was right. The greatest utility of this Creation-Turning Pill is resurrection; it will only take effect at a critical moment."

"After swallowing it, it can also slowly change one's constitution, so there is no need to rush."

Chu Jiang said in a low voice, then looked at the martial arts manuals he had brought back from the Scripture Pavilion.
