242: Fengyun Palace

The matter of the Heaven-Grade Demon Cave required careful preparation.

This was also the first major task after Lu Qian took office.

Jiang Chen was certainly going as well, not only to slay demons but also because he had previously promised Wang Fusheng to help him search for medicinal Materials to repair his Divine Soul.

There was still some preliminary work to be done, so Lu Qian took Chu Yun along to investigate a Heaven-Grade Demon Cave within Nanyan Commandery.

After the situation was clearly understood, they would notify Jiang Chen.

Shen Lingshu also set off with Lu Qian.

After all, traveling in that direction allowed them to reach the Capital City faster, and Lu Qian and the others might also need to head to the Capital City.

Jiang Chen returned to Ziyun Villa first, waiting for Lu Qian's summons.

The usually lively Ziyun Villa suddenly became deserted.

Fortunately, Cheng Yurou was still there.

Jiang Chen did not indulge in Cheng Yurou's embrace.

Instead, he took out the tongtian wood.

The auxiliary skills he possessed, such as Talisman Making Art, Alchemy Art, and Artifact Refining Art, had all been raised to Eighth-Rank, which was perfect for the task.

"This piece of tongtian wood looks massive, but in reality, it can only make about a hundred Talismans at most."

"The advantage, however, is that these Talismans can be reused."

Jiang Chen weighed it in his hand.

Regardless of whether the demons slain by these Demon Suppression Talismans counted towards his enemy killing value, having Demon Suppression Talismans carved from tongtian wood would significantly reduce the pressure on the Black Yamen.

Jiang Chen found the records of the Demon Suppression Talisman within the Black Yamen, observed them briefly, and then proceeded to improve the Demon Suppression Talisman.

Unfortunately, the tongtian wood he possessed was of limited Rank, and as Materials, it could only be crafted into Sixth-Rank talisman slips.

These could deal with demons in the Heavenly Martial Realm.

If they encountered demons in the Martial King Realm, they would suffer a great loss.

But there were only three Heaven-Grade Demon Caves in the entire Great Lan Dynasty, so even making a dozen or so Demon Suppression Talismans would be enough.

If all hundred Demon Suppression Talismans erupted simultaneously, even Martial King-Grade demons wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Inside the Cultivation secret chamber.

Jiang Chen split the tongtian wood using the thunder flame desolate breaking saber in his hand.

Although tongtian wood was excellent for refining talisman slips, the Fenglan Sword Sect likely didn't intentionally hide it in a corner; rather, it was difficult to segment, and furthermore, they didn't have such an Advanced Soul Cultivator to refine talisman slips.

This conveniently gave Jiang Chen an opportunity.

Otherwise, who knows how these people might have ruined the tongtian wood.

Jiang Chen activated his Divine Soul and attempted to refine a talisman slip for the first time.

The entire process was simpler than Jiang Chen had imagined.

After all, the Soul Devouring Ring in his hand could not only absorb Soul Power to improve Jiang Chen's Divine Soul Cultivation, but it also provided a certain strengthening effect on Jiang Chen's Divine Soul in daily life, giving Jiang Chen excellent results in refining talisman slips, refining Medicinal Pills, and even setting up Formations.

Although the refining process was simple, it still consumed a certain amount of time.

It took nearly half an hour to refine just one!

This was due to his initial lack of proficiency.

A Sixth-Rank Demon Suppression Talisman appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.

After being used, this Demon Suppression Talisman could be restored using Spirit Stones, making three full-power uses possible without issue, or more if dealing with weaker demons.

Releasing it five or six times would also be fine.

Over the next three days.

Jiang Chen crafted twenty Demon Suppression Talismans.

The effect of the Demon Suppression Talisman was not limited to slaying demons; it could also be used to slay enemies.

Therefore, Jiang Chen first prepared some for Cheng Yurou, the Xia Sisters, and Yang Shishi.

In the meantime, Jiang Chen also found some free time.

He refined two Seventh-Rank Medicinal Pills and gave them to Sheng Lingyao and Sheng Yuntian.

Back then, Sheng Lingyao had traveled thousands of miles on horseback just to find Jiang Chen and relay information.

Jiang Chen kept this friendship in mind.

Naturally, he had to give something back.

Even if they hadn't come for these items, Jiang Chen still needed to provide the gifts appropriately.

He still needed to accept this gesture.

As for Sheng Lingyao.

She hadn't realized right away that Jiang Chen had so many female companions.

Thus, it was difficult for her to accept in a short period.

Sheng Lingyao even understood that given Jiang Chen's strength, status, and current circumstances, it would likely be very difficult for him to take a liking to her.

Therefore, after mentally preparing herself, Sheng Lingyao spent all day thinking about how she could pursue Jiang Chen and have the chance to truly stand before him.

Sheng Yuntian was incredibly excited upon receiving the Seventh-Rank Medicinal Pills from Jiang Chen.

He truly was a master who had destroyed the Fenglan Sword Sect.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen's Cultivation had already stepped into the Heavenly Martial Realm level.

The influence such a young Heavenly Martial Realm master could bring was terrifying.

However, in Sheng Yuntian's opinion, Jiang Chen was not only a young Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse but also an extremely terrifying and mysterious Alchemist!

His defeat of the Aotian Pill Pavilion last time had already demonstrated formidable skill and strength.

Now, he even delivered Seventh-Rank Medicinal Pills right to their doorstep.

What reason did Sheng Yuntian have not to accept them?

Since it was Jiang Chen's generosity, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it. However, his daughter seemed preoccupied after meeting Jiang Chen.

Sheng Yuntian did not interfere much with Sheng Lingyao's thoughts.

Even if Sheng Lingyao truly ended up with Jiang Chen one day, it would be the Sheng Family marrying up, and Sheng Yuntian absolutely dared not act rashly. This was such a young Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse, and it was hard to say how far he might go in the future.

Young people's matters should be solved by themselves.

Jiang Chen, however, did not have many other thoughts.

Instead, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to continue increasing his enemy killing value so he could keep activating the martial arts scroll.

Besides refining the Demon Suppression Talismans for everyone's self-defense.

Jiang Chen also refined the Magic Treasure he had obtained from the Main Peak of the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Over the past two days, he had also found some Materials and repaired it.

However, the Formation Inscriptions within the fengyun precious hall were too ancient, making it difficult even for Jiang Chen to repair them.

Even so, Jiang Chen managed to restore the fengyun precious hall in his hand to seventy percent of its original power.

As a ninth-grade spirit tool.

And being a defensive Magic Treasure, the power it could unleash was naturally terrifying.

Besides its inherent defensive Formations.

Now, under Jiang Chen's repairs, it could also unleash Domain Power comparable to that which only a Martial Emperor-Grade powerhouse could deploy.

However, the duration was only three breaths of time.

Within these three breaths.

Anything within the Domain that has not reached Martial Emperor-Grade strength can be instantly obliterated!

As for Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses, no matter how many come, they will all be killed!
