80: Formations, alchemy, and weapon refining!

"One: Flame Dragon Emperor Slaying Saber (Heaven Rank Low Grade, with True Intent Diagram)"

"Two: Dao Intent Bead (Special Item)"

"Three: Divine Soul Cultivation increased by three cauldrons."

When Jiang Chen saw these three options, he couldn't help but gasp.

A Heaven Rank Saber Technique!

Divine Soul Cultivation could directly increase by three cauldrons, which was equivalent to directly reaching the Nine Cauldrons Realm!

As for the second option, the Dao Intent Bead was even more miraculous.

After using it, one could enter a time-limited Domain space.

Within this Domain, your comprehension speed for any power's true intent would greatly increase.

However, the final Realm you could reach would depend on your own potential.

For example, if your Saber Technique was currently at Major Achievement, after using the Dao Intent Bead, it was highly possible to advance to the Grandmaster Realm!

Alternatively, there was no Restriction to only comprehending one true intent of power.

As long as your talent was strong enough, you could even elevate your Fist Technique, Saber Technique, and Archery Technique all to the Grandmaster Realm during this process!

Jiang Chen pondered in his heart.

It was indeed a difficult choice.

If the Dao Intent Bead was used well, it would be equivalent to choosing several options simultaneously.

But Jiang Chen couldn't control the duration of the Dao Intent Bead. What if the time wasn't enough, and in the end, it only improved his Realm by a small amount? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Furthermore, this item clearly wasn't very useful in the early stages.

It would be more effective to use it after one's true intent of power reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Then, it would be highly possible to advance beyond the Grandmaster Realm!

"It's a pity, although I really want to choose it, this item currently doesn't help me as much as the Heaven Rank Saber Technique."

Jiang Chen only mastered an Earth Rank Fist Technique and already possessed such power.

If he were to use a Heaven Rank Saber Technique, let alone leapfrogging to kill a Spirit Martial Realm cultivator, even an Earth Martial Realm cultivator might not be able to withstand it.

As for the third option, although it was also very good, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry.

If he didn't have the Soul Devouring Ring, he might consider it.

But now, it was a no-brainer to choose the Saber Technique.

"Choose one!"

With a thought from Jiang Chen, the content of the Flame Dragon Emperor Slaying Saber Saber Technique was poured into his mind.

The True Intent Diagram, on the other hand, appeared in Jiang Chen's System space in the form of a scroll.

Perhaps it was because his Divine Soul power had increased, or the System's efficiency had improved when Jiang Chen received information.

He quickly accepted all of it, imprinting it in his mind.

Jiang Chen didn't examine the Secret Manual in detail, only roughly comprehended it.

He found that the power of this Flame Dragon Emperor Slaying Saber was at least ten times stronger than the Ming Long (Dragon's Cry) Fist.

The Ming Long (Dragon's Cry) Fist, even cultivated to Great Perfection, could only produce a five-hundred-zhang flood Dragon's Cry phantom.

But the Flame Dragon Emperor Slaying Saber, upon entry, manifested a three-hundred-zhang Flame Dragon phantom!

Their power was simply not on the same level.

However, Jiang Chen wasn't in the mood to study Saber Technique at the moment.

He summoned the martial arts scroll again.

"Ding... 80 points consumed to open the martial arts scroll."

"martial arts scroll: Current three-choice-one"

"One: Fifth-Grade Formation Spell."

"Two: Fifth-Grade Alchemy."

"Three: Fifth-Grade Artifact Refining."

Three skills, almost considered the strongest auxiliary skills for Cultivators, were neatly arranged before Jiang Chen.

Formation, Alchemy, Artifact Refining.

Choosing any of them would not be a loss.

"Choose one."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Whether it was Fifth-Grade Medicinal Pills or Fifth-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, as long as you had enough Spirit Stones, you could buy them; it was just a matter of price.

But Fifth-Grade Formations, as far as Jiang Chen knew, were extremely rare.

Within the Great Lan Dynasty, many ancient ruins and Immortal Caves left behind by powerful individuals would contain various Formation Restrictions.

For example, the Immortal Cave Jiang Chen found last time was actually relatively peaceful, without any danger, only restricting the conditions for entry.

Therefore, being able to master Fifth-Grade Formations in the early stages should bring many benefits.

He currently already had Third-Grade Alchemy.

At least at the current Xiantian Realm level, he wouldn't lack Medicinal Pills.

In terms of Formations, it could not only assist in Cultivation, construct defenses, and explore ruins, but also provide great help.

At this very moment, the Nine Yang Spirit Gathering Array placed in Purple Bamboo Manor was the best embodiment of its value.

However, even if Jiang Chen now had Fifth-Grade Formation Spell, he could at most create some Fourth-Grade Formations. To reach Fifth-Grade, he still needed corresponding Formation Secret Manuals.

As for refining Formation Magic Treasures, that would require the cooperation of Artifact Refining.

"A Fifth-Grade Formation Master is probably even rarer than a Fifth-Grade Alchemist."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Even a Genius in this field would probably need the better part of their life to reach Jiang Chen's current level of understanding.

Most importantly, in Jiang Chen's estimation, even if he, alone, was incredibly strong and had immense power, the number of Demons he could kill would always be limited.

If he had Formations, then harvesting would be much faster.

It would be like a trap, allowing these prey to willingly enter the Formation!

He could just sit still and reap the rewards.

When he had a chance to go to Cangzhou City, he would look for a Fifth-Grade Formation Secret Manual.

"Only five more points, and I can open it again."

Jiang Chen thought to himself, this speed was quite fast.

The reproduction speed of these Demons was extremely rapid.

If it weren't for powerful Seals suppressing them, these Demons would have long since devoured the entire Great Lan Dynasty, leaving no bones behind.

Subsequently, Jiang Chen also rummaged through the Storage Rings he had collected.

If an item wasn't immediately useful, Jiang Chen would take it back and have Cheng Yurou help organize it.

Just reselling these Storage Rings would be enough for Jiang Chen to live a wealthy life.

Finally, after Jiang Chen had briefly studied the Flame Dragon Emperor Slaying Saber, the sound of horses' hooves shaking the Lei Family Mountain came from all directions.

The garrison army had finally arrived!

After all, such a long journey indeed required some time to travel.

When Wang Fusheng led three thousand city guards and arrived below the high wall, he saw Jiang Chen slowly walking over from the drawbridge.

"Greetings, sir."

"Most of the criminals in Lei Family Fortress have been executed, and some escaped in the chaos."

"Oh, and the Lei Family Fortress colluded with the Tian Po Sect; the evidence is conclusive."

Jiang Chen came before Wang Fusheng, cupping his hands and saying.

Most have been executed!?

Wang Fusheng was immediately shocked. Who exactly was this young man?

Soon, when Wang Fusheng led his men into Lei Family Fortress and dragged out the Demon corpses, all the soldiers of the garrison army were deeply shaken.

All these Demons were killed by Jiang Chen alone?

"You, young man, you've hidden yourself quite well!"

Wang Fusheng looked at Jiang Chen.

However, he didn't ask further, merely playing with a bottle of potion in his hand.

This was precisely the potion researched by the Lei Family Fortress group.

"Do you know how much merit this item alone can earn you?"

"It's all thanks to your excellent leadership, sir."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Stop being so modest, young man."

"This official will record all this merit for you."

"Given your situation, you'll start as at least a First Class Little Flag!"

Wang Fusheng said, not taking credit for himself.

Suddenly, a token on Wang Fusheng's waist vibrated slightly.

Jiang Chen saw that this token was similar to the Black Yamen's, but not entirely the same.

When Wang Fusheng saw the token stir, his expression immediately became solemn.

Subsequently, Jiang Chen also felt a powerful Divine Soul aura emanating from Wang Fusheng, seemingly acquiring information from the token.

"Such a strong Divine Soul aura!"

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He had never noticed before that Wang Fusheng was actually a powerful Soul Cultivator.

"Not good!"

"One of the Earth-Rank Demon Caves in Cangzhou City has fallen!"
