197: Lightning

It was a scorching power that permeated him from head to toe.

If not for the powerful electromagnetic field suppressing him, Jiang Chen would have jumped up directly.

Fortunately, after the first exhilarating experience, Jiang Chen had gained some experience.

Through the power of his spiritual manifestation, he tried to absorb the energy from the lightning.

Allowing his spiritual manifestation to bathe in the lightning, after a period of refinement, Jiang Chen also felt that his spiritual manifestation seemed to have become more intimate with the power of the world's lightning.

Even when the thunderclouds receded in the early morning, Jiang Chen could still feel the lingering thunderous intent in the air.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Although the sky was clear and cloudless at this moment, Jiang Chen had a feeling that he could summon a bolt of lightning from the sky.

"Should I try it?"

Jiang Chen immediately focused his mind.

"Lightning Summoning Art..."

In an instant, the small spiritual manifestation figure inside his body became like a massive spiritual power vortex, instantly drawing in the surrounding lightning-attributed power.

Through that lightning-attributed energy, a faint arc of lightning quickly condensed in Jiang Chen's palm.

The power of this lightning arc far exceeded the spiritual power level of ordinary Cultivators.

"It worked... and it's Palm Lightning!"

Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed.

The condensed lightning power in his palm gave Jiang Chen a feeling that he had grasped a wisp of the world's mighty power in his hand.

At this moment, it also gave Jiang Chen a feeling that he was truly beginning to come into contact with the world.

"A Martial Artist needs to control the world's mighty power through the power of their spiritual manifestation."

"I understand... eventually, I should be able to achieve a massive spiritual manifestation."

Jiang Chen had an epiphany in his heart.

In the morning, after Jiang Chen had breakfast at Ziyun Villa, he went to the Black Yamen as usual.

He wanted to see if Shen Lingshu and Chu Yun had returned and if they had been injured while on a mission.

Jiang Chen had already taken the time to separate a wisp of each of their Divine Souls and place them in the Yin Yang Life and Death Mirror.

After all, this was the ultimate guarantee of life.

Of course, just because he had this guarantee didn't mean he could recklessly squander his life.

Resurrection and living originally were definitely not the same.

One should cherish life at all times.

Coming out of the Black Yamen, Jiang Chen also went to visit Yang Shishi.

At the same time, he also gave Yang Shishi a soul essence pill.

Currently, in the Soul-Devouring Grinding Disc, only the Demon Emperor Lizard and Jintie City's Divine Soul were diligently grinding.

It basically took three to four days to produce one.

However, this soul essence pill was indeed a good thing.

Jiang Chen had taken it, and while its effect on him was no longer significant, it had a noticeable effect on Yang Shishi.

It could not only enhance her Divine Soul power but also, within a certain period, allow her Divine Soul state to expand to a certain extent, entering a state of clear understanding.

Yang Shishi's daily Cultivation lessons often left her feeling groggy.

With this soul essence pill, she could accelerate her Cultivation progress, creating a mutually beneficial feeling.

Although Yang Shishi really wanted to repay Jiang Chen, Diaoyun Pavilion was, after all, his territory.

So Jiang Chen held back.

Xia Si柠 and Xia Sixuan were currently studying at Bailu Academy, and Jiang Chen did not rashly go to disturb them.

After all, learning required a calm mind.

If they were constantly running out and daydreaming, it would naturally affect their studies.

After strolling around, Jiang Chen went to Spirit Pill Pavilion and sat for a while.

With the Medicinal Pills Jiang Chen had refined before, coupled with Spirit Pill Pavilion's surging reputation, many Alchemists flocked to join, as Spirit Pill Pavilion offered very generous conditions to Alchemists who joined.

Therefore, Spirit Pill Pavilion was bustling.

Zhou Yan had not forgotten what he had said initially.

Half of all profits from Spirit Pill Pavilion belonged to Jiang Chen.

So Spirit Pill Pavilion was essentially half Jiang Chen's, and Jiang Chen naturally had to protect it.

It is worth mentioning that the 'beggar's version' of the heaven burning dragon elephant pill from yesterday, after being purchased by a wealthy man in the city and consumed, directly increased his strength by six thousand catties!

This immediate effect instantly boosted the reputation of the heaven burning dragon elephant pill.

Reservations poured in continuously.

And the price of a single heaven burning dragon elephant pill had already been driven up to 150,000 Spirit Stones.

Just Spirit Pill Pavilion's profit yesterday, after deducting Alchemists' shares and various expenses, in addition to the heaven burning dragon elephant pill's profit, earned nearly 50,000 Spirit Stones in just one day.

This meant that Jiang Chen, without doing anything yesterday, had already received 25,000 Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, Zhou Yan had specifically separated the Medicinal Pills refined by Jiang Chen.

After deducting the costs, all remaining profits from the Medicinal Pills refined by Jiang Chen went entirely to Jiang Chen.

After all, the reputation of Spirit Pill Pavilion was established by Jiang Chen.

How could they still try to make money from Jiang Chen? That would be worse than beasts.

Coming out of Spirit Pill Pavilion, Jiang Chen went to an old establishment, bought two very famous roast geese, and carried them back towards Ziyun Villa.

"These roast geese smell so good."

"They've even attracted so many rats."

Jiang Chen stopped on a mountain path, his gaze fixed on a pavilion ahead.

As Jiang Chen stopped, several figures emerged from the surrounding woods, Before and After, encircling Jiang Chen.

There were five people in total.

Jiang Chen glanced at them.

The strength of these five people was surprisingly all at the Peak of the Earth Martial Realm.

Peak Earth Martial Realm.

The lineup of these five people alone was enough to sweep across the entire Cangzhou City.

In fact, any one of them could easily overpower Cangzhou City.

Yet, a full five of them had gathered.

Their intention was very clear.

"Is this the kid?"

"Heh heh, receiving those 500,000 Spirit Stones was truly free money."

"This Spirit Stone was earned too easily."

The five people exchanged glances.

"Gentlemen, this kid looks tender-skinned. I want his heart and liver, nothing else."

"Alright... then I'll take his feet and legs."

"You wish! At most, I'll give you two legs."

The five people in front of him seemed to completely disregard Jiang Chen.

They openly discussed how to divide Jiang Chen, and even ended up arguing over his eyeballs.

"Alright, stop arguing."

"Take a punch from me first."

Jiang Chen, holding a roast goose in one hand, swayed and charged towards the five people.

Boom!

The person closest to Jiang Chen, seeing him make a move, immediately scoffed disdainfully.

"Heh heh, he truly doesn't know his place, daring to actively court death!"

"Take him down, and let's divide him!"
