178: Qianbao Tower

When Shen Lingshu heard the commotion, she naturally knew it wasn't the time to disturb Jiang Chen.

She just quietly waited in the next room.

"Jiang Chen is truly amazing. I've always known his strength was extraordinary and his future achievements limitless, but I never expected even Revered Master, a Deputy Commander, would..."

"I didn't follow the wrong person!"

Shen Lingshu was very clear-headed, not feeling jealous even in such a situation.

She only felt proud of Jiang Chen.

Shen Lingshu even couldn't help but fantasize.

"If Jiang Chen could win over Her Majesty... on account of being sisters, I wonder if she could give me a General position..."

Shen Lingshu immediately lay down in the adjacent lounge and fell asleep amidst her fantasies.

Recently, her Cultivation has also been very arduous.

Lord Lu Qian had imparted her sect's secret techniques to Shen Lingshu.

These techniques were also from Lu Qian's own sect.

Furthermore, for Lu Qian, her talent had not been able to fully develop her sect's Cultivation Technique, but she saw hope in Shen Lingshu.

With Shen Lingshu's talent, she might truly be able to pass down her sect's Cultivation Technique and unleash its true power.

Of course, her primary Cultivation Technique was still the Great Vehicle Emperor Yin Art imparted by Jiang Chen.

In reality, Cultivators can often Cultivate two Mind-Cultivation Techniques simultaneously, though most people prefer to focus on a single Mind-Cultivation Technique for greater concentration.

"Lingshu? Why are you sleeping here?"

Jiang Chen naturally knew Shen Lingshu had arrived long ago.

After all, his perception was quite strong.

But at the time, he was reporting to Lord Lu Qian, so he didn't stop abruptly.

"Ah... I came to deliver something to Lord Lu. This is a secret letter from the Dynasty."

Shen Lingshu wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

She tidied her messy hair.

She motioned for Jiang Chen to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea.

Mainly, the dream she just had was too wonderful.

Under Jiang Chen's unremitting efforts, she finally ascended to the position of a Great General, and was currently commanding the three armies.

"Lord Lu is probably a bit tired right now."

"Perhaps you should go see her later."

"Alright..."

Shen Lingshu nodded.

"You just... just... um... was it comfortable?"

Shen Lingshu nudged her chin, her watery eyes looking at Jiang Chen.

At the same time, her body involuntarily leaned closer to Jiang Chen.

Her right hand naturally stroked him.

Her dream just now was too wonderful, so Shen Lingshu also thought that if she could live such a life sooner, that would be great.

"Still a bit short..."

Jiang Chen looked at Shen Lingshu's alluring figure and the mischievousness in her bright eyes, and his heart stirred.

So, Shen Lingshu tied up her beautiful hair.

By afternoon.

Jiang Chen finally left the Black Yamen.

Aside from not having much time to spend with Chu Yun, most other matters were settled.

After all, Cangzhou City was in need of people at the moment. Chu Yun had just been promoted to Centurion. Although the Jin family had been eliminated, one Jin family appeared, and there might not be a second. Therefore, Chu Yun was not careless, nor did she let her guard down. Instead, she worked very hard to climb to a higher position.

She wanted to achieve greater merit.

This way, Chu Yun would be able to truly stand at the Peak.

Only then could she control her own destiny.

Only then could she always stay by Jiang Chen's side.

Lu Qian in the Black Yamen.

At this moment, she ignored the secret letter from the Imperial City that Shen Lingshu delivered.

Instead, she was concentrating on experiencing the Mind-Cultivation Technique Jiang Chen had imparted to her.

At this moment, Lu Qian realized how insignificant she was.

She also realized that Jiang Chen's identity was terrifying; Jiang Chen was very likely a Disciple of some ancient Legacy.

"Jiang Chen... he actually imparted such a precious Mind-Cultivation Technique to me."

Lu Qian was deeply moved.

She didn't care how many people Jiang Chen had imparted these Mind-Cultivation Techniques to.

But at least Jiang Chen imparted them to her, which was enough to show how much Jiang Chen valued her.

This instantly made Lu Qian deeply infatuated with Jiang Chen.

After all, Jiang Chen's technique was also top-notch.

In fact, in Lu Qian's opinion, no one should be able to resist being captivated by Jiang Chen's technique.

"He really didn't lie to me."

"If you don't count the head..."

"Indeed, eighteen."

Lu Qian Cultivated the Mind-Cultivation Technique imparted by Jiang Chen, combined with her first harvest.

In an instant, her Cultivation directly achieved a Breakthrough.

She reached the eighth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm!

The Realm that had been stuck for so long finally saw a Breakthrough.

It was all Jiang Chen's credit.

Originally, Lu Qian was willing to follow Jiang Chen not for these things.

But Jiang Chen gave her such good things and helped her improve her Cultivation. For Lu Qian, it was like finding a treasure.

Afterward, Lu Qian opened the secret letter delivered by Shen Lingshu.

When Lu Qian saw it, her eyes immediately lit up.

"It seems Your Majesty has noticed Jiang Chen... And Jiang Chen's opportunity has finally arrived!"

Lu Qian had long felt that with Jiang Chen's abilities, even becoming a Deputy Commander, or even a true Commander, would not be an exaggeration. What he lacked was not opportunity.

Rather, it was for those higher up to see his brilliance!

If no one supported him, then it would be very difficult to continuously rise, as he would encounter obstacles at every level and touch upon the interests of many people.

But as long as someone covers for you, and you are not too useless yourself.

Then you can basically rise rapidly.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen went to the Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Cangzhou City.

The Thousand Treasures Pavilion was a very Advanced establishment.

Its target audience was not everyone, but those who could afford Spirit Stones.

The Thousand Treasures Pavilion did not accept gold or silver, only Spirit Stones.

Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to meet the main person in charge of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

With his status as a Banner Officer, he certainly had the qualifications.

But unfortunately, the person was not there.

Jiang Chen simply left his request.

He asked the Thousand Treasures Pavilion to help him find a seventh-grade Pill Formula.

A seventh-grade Pill Formula!

Even for the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, this was a very exaggerated request.

They had heard of people looking for seventh-grade Medicinal Pills, or even eighth-grade Medicinal Pills.

For such items, as long as you could afford the Spirit Stones, even outside the Great Lan Dynasty, the Thousand Treasures Pavilion had a chance to procure them for you.

But a Pill Formula, especially a seventh-grade Pill Formula...

That would surely only be needed by an Alchemist.

And at least a seventh-grade Alchemist.

There might not even be a seventh-grade Alchemist in the entire Great Lan Dynasty.

However, Medicinal Pills could be found in some ancient ruins and Secret Realms.

Even the price of a seventh-grade Pill Formula was something the Thousand Treasures Pavilion couldn't immediately quote. They could only reply to Jiang Chen that the matter would definitely be reported to the manager, and they would contact him as soon as it was found.

Before leaving, Jiang Chen also selected a Medicine Cauldron in the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Afterward, he visited several pharmacies in Cangzhou City.

He checked the situation of the Medicinal Pills these people were selling.

With the Jin family gone, about half of the Alchemists were removed, but the remaining Alchemists all went to the Blazing Fire Gang. The market they had painstakingly built up naturally needed to be well-maintained.

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry; he didn't have Medicinal Pills yet, so he would wait until he did.
