25: Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array

Bancheng Inn.

When Cheng Yurou saw Jiang Chen return with two girls, she was truly startled.

She had thought that Jiang Chen had run out late at night to abduct innocent girls.

However, Xia Sixuan quickly explained the situation, which immediately made Cheng Yurou feel extremely sorry for the two girls.

"From now on, you two can follow our Xiao Chen. We'll take care of this little home together and look out for each other," Cheng Yurou said softly.

Of course, there was one more thing she didn't say. Cheng Yurou thought to herself that now there would finally be someone to help share Xiao Chen's 'firepower'.

Although Xia Sixuan was strong, after experiencing so much, and then suddenly entering such a warm environment, she quickly fell asleep.

Cheng Yurou gave the bed in the bedroom to the two sisters.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, went into the bathroom to wash up.

Before long, Cheng Yurou also came in, poured Jiang Chen a cup of tea, and then obediently went behind Jiang Chen to scrub his back.

"Don't worry, I've already settled all the Black Tiger Gang's debts. From now on, the Black Tiger Gang won't come looking for trouble with us anymore."

Jiang Chen held Cheng Yurou's small hand and pulled her directly into the bathtub.

"Ah..."

Cheng Yurou tumbled into the bathtub, frantically hugging Jiang Chen.

Amidst their tenderness, Jiang Chen said to Cheng Yurou, "I heard the Black Yamen is recruiting reserves. I plan to give it a try. If I can get an official position in the Black Yamen, it would provide more security for you all in this chaotic world."

"Black Yamen... Xiao Chen, no matter what you do, I support you. I only have one request: you must pay attention to safety."

"Okay, I promise you."

Afterward, Cheng Yurou dried herself, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"I'm going to check on the two younger sisters."

"Alright, I'll just sleep in the living room."

Jiang Chen cleaned up and changed into the bathrobe provided by the inn.

He found a cushion in the living room and sat cross-legged.

Despite a night of busyness, Jiang Chen seemed exceptionally energetic.

Not only did he gain a deeper understanding of his own strength through actual combat, but also because he was able to open the martial arts scroll twice tonight.

As long as he had enough Kill Value, he could continuously open the martial arts scroll.

Although the Kill Value requirement for the martial arts scroll would become higher and higher, by the time he reached higher levels, Jiang Chen's strength would have already reached a peak of perfection.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Chen's mind sank, and he brought up the martial arts scroll.

"Open!"

"martial arts scroll: Current three-choice selection."

"One, ten thousand taels of gold."

"Two, Major Achievement Realm spear technique."

"Three, Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array Plate."

Three options flashed before Jiang Chen's eyes.

He skipped the first one directly.

The second, Major Achievement Realm spear technique, was also a good choice, allowing one to save thirty years of effort in cultivating the Dao of the spear.

Of course, these options were not as good as the third.

"I choose three."

As his thought settled, a Magic Treasure resembling a Bagua Formation Plate appeared in Jiang Chen's System Space, emitting a soft glow.

His gaze focused on this Formation Plate.

【Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array: A fifth-grade Formation that can increase the Spiritual Qi density within its covered area and can also draw upon Nine Yang Lightning Fire to repel enemies. The Formation Plate can be used by simply opening and placing it, and closed to retract the Formation. There is no limit to the number of uses.】

After reading the introduction to the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array, Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

This item was simply essential for home and travel!

Not only could it increase Spiritual Qi density, but it also had an enemy-repelling effect!

Of course, this item also had its limits; it couldn't possibly be Heaven-Defying.

A fifth-grade Formation.

Combining it with Martial Arts Realm, Jiang Chen could roughly guess that this Formation could at most withstand Earth Martial Realm experts.

He also really liked the convenience of this Formation; it was like a switch, open to use, close to take away, completely unconstrained by the environment.

This item could wait until he bought a courtyard tomorrow.

Originally, Jiang Chen had wanted to be low-key and buy an ordinary, inconspicuous house.

But now with the two Xia sisters, and who knew if there would be others in the future, it was necessary to buy a large manor.

The opened martial arts scroll did not dim, but it now displayed a requirement of 30 Kill Value to open again.

Jiang Chen still had 32 Kill Value left.

He opened it directly.

"martial arts scroll: Current three-choice selection."

"One: Breaking Cauldron Spear Fist Manual (Profound Rank Low Grade)"

"Two: Limit-Breaking Pill (Third Grade)"

"Three: Sasha Three Mad Transformations"

The rewards this time, while not having a Heaven-Defying reward like the hundredfold Physical Body enhancement, nor an auxiliary Divine Artifact like the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array, were still very good.

You can't have New Year's every day, after all.

"A Profound Rank Low Grade fist manual!"

"If it's just a fist manual, I don't know if a Profound Rank Low Grade one can be found in Dongfeng Town, but I remember the selling price should be around three hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Unless this fist technique is a unique, out-of-print item, otherwise, it's not as valuable as ten thousand taels of gold."

While fist manuals also had value, in the Great Lan Dynasty, what many martial cultivators truly needed were the true intention diagrams condensed by powerful experts.

A corresponding true intention diagram could allow you to quickly grasp a martial art, and even quickly master and comprehend it.

Therefore, fist manuals were usually sold in conjunction with true intention diagrams.

If it were a Profound Rank Low Grade true intention diagram, then the selling price would be at least three times that of the fist manual.

Unfortunately, true intention diagrams required extremely strong power to condense.

Furthermore, one needed to have a very proficient grasp of that particular martial art oneself.

It was equivalent to a variant of power transmission, conveying one's insights to others through a true intention diagram.

A true intention diagram could shorten the time required to comprehend a martial art that would otherwise take five, or even ten years, to a tenth of that time, or even less, depending on one's own Comprehension Ability.

However, Jiang Chen felt that his need for true intention diagrams was not great.

After all, when he Cultivated martial arts, he would have a feeling of profound comprehension.

Perhaps, he might even be able to hand-craft true intention diagrams himself then.

"Limit-Breaking Pill: Can break through one's own limit once. For a third-grade pill, the upper limit is the Xiantian Realm."

"That is to say, after I exchange for this item, I can directly raise my Physical Body cultivation to the Xiantian Realm!"

Jiang Chen's heart stirred.

The barrier between Realms was extremely difficult to Breakthrough relying solely on oneself.

Physical Body Xiantian Realm.

Within the entire Dongfeng Town, he should be able to sweep through everything.

However, Jiang Chen looked at the last option, Sasha Three Mad Transformations.

Before choosing, he could only see some basic information.

The description Jiang Chen could now see indicated that this Sasha Three Mad Transformations was a secret technique that could temporarily enhance Physical Body cultivation.

"It's something similar to a forbidden technique, I guess," Jiang Chen mused.

After weighing his options, Jiang Chen made his choice.

"I choose three!"
