279: Ninth-grade alchemy technique!

"I choose option two!"

"Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body!"

Jiang Chen thought silently to himself.

Currently, Jiang Chen's physical strength had already reached three million catties.

At this stage...

...he had already broken through a barrier and arrived at this level.

Even adding another hundred thousand catties of strength might not guarantee victory in a contest at the same level.

But a Saint-Grade Martial Art...

...could very likely decide the outcome.

After all, the power of a Saint-Grade Martial Art was directly capable of crossing level boundaries.

At least so far, Jiang Chen had yet to encounter anyone else who could perform a Saint-Grade Martial Art.

Relying on this technique, he could easily slay some powerful enemies.

This was what Jiang Chen was thinking.

As Jiang Chen's thought settled...

...a surge of energy quickly flowed from the martial arts scroll and poured into Jiang Chen's mind.

This martial art was itself an advanced method of the Cast Profound Golden Body Skill.

Now that he had obtained it...

...Jiang Chen's previous Cast Profound Golden Body Skill was not wasted; instead, it was directly converted into experience for the Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body.

In this moment, Jiang Chen's Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body actually sprinted rapidly to the level of Small Perfection.

When Jiang Chen carefully felt the power and effects of the Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body, he was instantly astonished.

"Good heavens!"

"The power of this Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body can actually double my physical strength to use as defense!"

Jiang Chen's face was suddenly filled with shock.

The power of this Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body had truly reached a terrifying level.

"If I perform the Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body, it's equivalent to having a defense of six million catties of strength."

"Even the turbulent currents gushing out from those spatial rifts could be withstood."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

This was not an effect that a mere hundred thousand catties of physical strength could provide.

However, this did not mean that once one's strength reached the current Realm, subsequent improvements were unimportant.

In fact, the more one reached this level, the more one needed to carefully enhance their strength.

After all, every single improvement was precious.

In this Realm, every step forward meant a significant Breakthrough effect.

Even for Jiang Chen, such a Breakthrough was very important.

It was just that, at this stage, Jiang Chen's cultivation had only just risen to its current level.

He lacked corresponding methods in his hands.

After all, Jiang Chen's cultivation had risen too quickly.

If he lacked the corresponding methods, his options would seem too limited in a contest at the same level.

Although Jiang Chen had killed so many people from the Zhao Family this time...

...so far, that so-called Domain Lord had not made a move.

But in Jiang Chen's view, when he went to wipe out the Zhao Family, the Domain Lord of the Lingcang Domain would surely step out to interfere, and a fight would be inevitable then.

So Jiang Chen also needed to have methods to deal with Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses.

Fortunately, this martial arts scroll did not disappoint him.

Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy.

He took a moment to digest the Zhu Xuan Heavenly King Body in his mind.

Then, Jiang Chen glanced at his status panel.

【enemy killing value: 1178】

【cultivation points: 0】

"Keep opening!"

"Ding... Consumed 360 enemy killing value to open a martial arts scroll."

"martial arts scroll currently offering three choices..."

"One: Ninth Grade Alchemy Technique"

"Two: Ninth-Grade Formation Art"

"Three: Ninth-Grade Artifact Refining"

Previously, Jiang Chen's Alchemy and other auxiliary skills had already been raised to the eighth-grade level through previous Bronze-Grade Treasure Chests.

This time, he was given a ninth-grade level upgrade.

To Jiang Chen, it really felt like a bit much.

After all, under the current circumstances, even Eighth-Grade Alchemy was more than enough.

He hadn't expected a ninth-grade one to come along.

Well, since it's here, it's here.

"Choose one."

Jiang Chen thought about it.

He should still prioritize Alchemy.

If nothing else...

...Eighth-Grade Formation Art was perfectly sufficient for now.

Even this Heaven-Grade Demon Cave could be handled with Eighth-Grade Formation Art.

It wouldn't lead to any overly exaggerated situations.

But for something like Alchemy, the earlier it was upgraded, the stronger the effects of the Medicinal Pills produced would be.

Once Jiang Chen destroyed the Zhao Family and scavenged their treasury, he should be able to gather quite a few medicinal ingredients for ninth-grade pills.

If one Zhao Family wasn't enough, wasn't there also a Song Family?

Although the Song Family hadn't discovered yet that Song Chusheng died at Jiang Chen's hands...

...the matter would inevitably be traced back to Jiang Chen.

There was no guarantee these people wouldn't want his life.

On matters of safety, one could absolutely not afford the slightest carelessness.

If one could strike first, then one should try to strike first.

After all, the first to strike gains the advantage.

As Jiang Chen's decision settled...

...the Ninth Grade Alchemy Technique transformed into a massive amount of information and flooded into Jiang Chen's mind.

After digesting all the content...

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in admiration; Ninth Grade Alchemy Technique was indeed on a different level.

It had already stepped into another Realm entirely.

"There is no end to learning."

Jiang Chen lamented.

At this point, he had 818 enemy killing value left.

The next opening required 370 points.

He could still open it two more times.

Just as Jiang Chen was preparing to continue opening the martial arts scrolls...

...he heard Xue Lianyue's voice coming from outside.

"Lord Jiang? Is it convenient for you right now?"

Xue Lianyue's voice rang out.

Jiang Chen withdrew his focus and looked toward the outside of the tent with a surprised gaze.

Jiang Chen had been afraid it would rain while he was opening the scrolls, so he had set up a tent for himself.

"Lord Xue, what happened?"

Jiang Chen asked curiously.

Hearing Jiang Chen's voice, Xue Lianyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Jiang Chen was at a critical moment of cultivation and that she had disturbed him.

"Lord Jiang, it's a message from Your Majesty. She said news came from a Family within the Lingcang Domain and wanted me to report this to you immediately."

Xue Lianyue said.

Clearly, back at the Royal City...

...Ye Zishan had already taken Lin Youer and the others to see Ye Duling.

So Ye Duling had made a decision at this time...

...to have Xue Lianyue pass the news to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen walked out.

Looking at the handsome youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes before her...

...Xue Lianyue couldn't help but feel her heart stir.

Especially that serious look Jiang Chen had when he was doing things; it was indeed captivating.

Just then, rain indeed began to pitter-patter down from the sky.

"It's raining. Lord Xue, come into my tent and let's talk."

Jiang Chen said.

There was no ambiguity in these words.

It was just a simple tent.

Hearing this, Xue Lianyue also nodded slightly.

Following Jiang Chen into the tent...

...Xue Lianyue told Jiang Chen about Master Qin Yun going to the Zhao Family to take charge.

When Jiang Chen heard this, he gave a relaxed smile.

"Hehe, and here I thought it was some major matter."

"It's just a rat, nothing to worry about."
