Chapter 1667: Robbery, Si Teng escapes

Spirit Beast Mountain Market.

"This is the Spirit Beast Mountain Market."

Jiang Chen strolled around the Spirit Beast Mountain Market while taking in the sights.

After strolling around the market, Jiang Chen felt somewhat disappointed.

Most of the items on these stalls were low-level spiritual materials, talismans, and spirit beast eggs, which were of little use to him.

Especially those talismans, which are far inferior to those carved by the Jiang family.

These talismans here take a full three seconds to activate, making them practically useless to him. After all, the very purpose of talismans is to conserve spiritual energy and activate quickly. Three seconds to activate?
Those spirit beast eggs were just ordinary spirit beast eggs.

For Jiang Chen, these spirit beast eggs would be useless even if they hatched, and trying to raise them would be a waste of time.

"Never mind, I didn't come here to take a look anyway."

Jiang Chen walked into the largest shop in the market.

The shopkeeper was an elderly man with white hair. When he saw Jiang Chen enter, he immediately came forward and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you need?"

Jiang Chen said calmly, "Do you buy talismans?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes: "Of course I will buy them, but the price will depend on the quality of the pills. I will never let you suffer a loss."

Jiang Chen nodded, waved his hand, and some talismans appeared on the counter: "How much are these talismans?"

"Elementary level 1 talismans..." the old man began to explain.

Jiang Chen estimated that the price would be similar to that of the Huangfeng Valley market.

At that moment, Jiang Chen handed the old man a storage bag: "There are 30,000 talismans here, including beginner-level talismans, intermediate-level talismans, and advanced-level talismans. Give me an estimate."

The old man took the storage bag and examined it, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

“Okay.” Jiang Chen took out a jade box: “Boss, take a look at this.”

"Hmm?" The old man opened the jade box to take a look.

next moment.

"This, this is a ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos?" the old man exclaimed in shock.

“That’s right, this is a 10,000-year-old Poria cocos. I wonder if you will accept it or not?” Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, of course I'll take it," the old man said quickly.

"How much?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Four hundred… no, five hundred mid-grade spirit stones,” the old man replied.

“Too little,” Jiang Chen said. “Six hundred mid-grade spirit stones.”

The price of medicinal herbs that are thousands of years old also varies.

The prices of Poria cocos and Ginseng are different.

"This..." The old man hesitated.

"Then forget it." Jiang Chen prepared to put away the Ten Thousand Year Poria.

"Then six hundred mid-grade spirit stones," the old man said.

“I have twenty plants,” Jiang Chen said, waving his hand.

Nineteen jade boxes appeared on the counter.

"Twenty ancient Poria cocos plants?" The old man was shocked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen said coldly, "So, are you going to accept it or not?"

“I’ll take it.” The old man said quickly, “Twenty ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos, twelve thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Add the three thousand mid-grade spirit stones for the talisman. The total is fifteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.”

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen walked out of the shop.

The next moment, Jiang Chen walked into another shop.

Over the course of three hours, Jiang Chen went in and out of the shops in the Spirit Beast Mountain Market.

Within those three hours, Jiang Chen successfully sold over 100,000 talismans, several thousand pills, and fifty each of the ten-thousand-year-old Poria cocos, ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

Jiang Chen obtained 130,000 mid-grade spirit stones and 1.3 million low-grade spirit stones.

This is because Jiang Chen bought quite a lot of things.

"It's time to leave."

Jiang Chen walked out of the Spirit Beast Mountain Market.

"As expected, we've been targeted."

Jiang Chen took a moment to process it, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.

He was being watched as soon as he left the first shop.

If his strength hadn't broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he wouldn't be so arrogant.

A moment later, Jiang Chen arrived at a place two hundred miles away from the Spirit Beast Mountain Market.

"Come out, everyone." Jiang Chen steadied himself.

"I didn't expect you to find out." A sinister voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures appeared around Jiang Chen.

"With so many people, you're not all in cahoots, are you? I wonder who I'm giving my things to?" Jiang Chen sized up the crowd.

"Kid, enough nonsense, hand over the storage bag," a middle-aged man said.

"Hand it over?" Jiang Chen sneered, flipping his hand to reveal the Tai'a Sword.

An overwhelming killing intent erupted.

"Go to hell."

Jiang Chen flicked his wrist.

The Tai'a Sword transformed into dozens of sword beams, shooting towards those figures.

A terrifying sword intent tore through the void.

"What..." The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.

Not only the middle-aged man, but everyone else's expression changed drastically upon seeing Jiang Chen's attack.

"Sword Intent?"

"He actually comprehended the sword intent."

"Who are you……"

"not good."

"Help……"

Many people felt the power of Jiang Chen's attack and turned to run.

But it was too late.

Pfft, pfft...

More than a dozen figures were instantly killed.

The rest were severely damaged.

"Who, who are you?" the middle-aged man asked.

"You don't need to know." Jiang Chen sneered, and the Tai'a Sword attacked again.

Although the strongest of these cultivators was only at the early stage of Core Formation, Jiang Chen still went all out.

After killing these cultivators, Jiang Chen first cut off their heads, then crushed their skulls, then crushed their hearts, and finally burned their bodies.

You can never go too far wrong.

Cultivators have many methods, so Jiang Chen had to be careful.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen left with more than twenty storage bags.

Why are there more than twenty storage bags?

Because not everyone is a storage bag.

"By the way, the protagonist of 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality' is from Wuligou, Qingniu Town, Jingzhou, Yue Kingdom in the south of the world."

"Should we go take a look?"

"If he's still alive, then kill him."

A murderous glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

So what if he's the protagonist?
It's not like he hasn't killed before.

Jiang Chen decided to go and take a look.

The reason he didn't kill Xiao Yan in the Dou Qi Continent was because Xiao Yan had powerful figures around him, and he wasn't confident in his abilities. But Han Li didn't have any powerful figures protecting him.

Soon, they arrived at Wuligou, Qingniu Town, Jingzhou, in the southern part of the Yue Kingdom.

"No more?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

If Han Li were here, he would have to kill him.

After leaving Wuligou, Qingniu Town, Jingzhou, Tiannan Yue Kingdom, Jiang Chen did not return to Chenzhou City, but went to Taiyue Market.

In Taiyue Market, Jiang Chen once again sold Wannian medicinal herbs.

Ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old poria cocos, ten-thousand-year-old Tian Shan snow lotus, ten-thousand-year-old he shou wu... a total of twelve kinds.

These medicinal herbs all come from the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden.

During his visit to Taiyue Market, Jiang Chen selected over a dozen shops and sold one hundred of each of these ancient medicinal herbs. He earned a total of 700,000 mid-grade spirit stones and 3.5 million low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, Jiang Chen also bought a lot of things.

After leaving Taiyue Market, Jiang Chen encountered Jie Xiu once again.

None of the cultivators in this tribulation were at the Core Formation stage; they were all instantly killed by Jiang Chen.

After being robbed three times, Jiang Chen obtained forty-eight storage bags.

On February 3rd, after changing his identity several times, Jiang Chen returned to Chenzhou City.

"Husband, you're finally back." Zhao Rong'an rushed over as soon as he saw Jiang Chen.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "This time we mainly went to the Spirit Beast Mountain Market and Taiyue Market, which are too far from here."

If it weren't for the low-level spirit boat, it could travel 240,000 li (120,000 kilometers) in a day and a night.

It should be noted that the Yue Kingdom in the southern continent is 15,000 li from north to south and more than 20,000 li from east to west.

"Is this how the deal went?" Zhao Rong'an asked.

“Very good. We sold a lot of medicinal herbs, and even all the extra talismans were sold,” Jiang Chen said.

I obtained 130,000 mid-grade spirit stones and 1.3 million low-grade spirit stones at the Spirit Beast Mountain Market. I obtained 700,000 mid-grade spirit stones and 3.5 million low-grade spirit stones at the Taiyue Market, for a total of 830,000 mid-grade spirit stones and 4.8 million low-grade spirit stones.

These spirit stones look numerous, but they aren't actually that many.

Even with a mid-level spirit cannon, it won't last long.

However, as long as they don't use the intermediate-level spirit cannon, these cultivation resources will be enough for the Jiang family to use for a long time. After all, in "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality", disciples in the Qi Refining stage of sects like Huangfeng Valley receive a monthly task allowance, which is equivalent to about 24 low-grade spirit stones per year, while elders in the Core Formation stage can receive an annual salary of several hundred mid-grade spirit stones (1 mid-grade spirit stone ≈ 100 low-grade spirit stones).

A mid-stage Core Formation cultivator typically possesses over 100,000 spirit stones, while a late-stage Core Formation cultivator may have hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

"Did you encounter any thieves?" Zhao Rong'an asked.

“I’ve encountered them, and quite a few.” Jiang Chen nodded, taking out seventy-three storage bags and three storage rings.

"Buying storage bags?" Pei Yin walked over and happened to see Jiang Chen take out a storage bag.

"No, these are all from the Tribulation Cultivator." Jiang Chen wiped away the marks on them.

Thirty high-grade spirit stones, one million five hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones, fourteen million three hundred and thirty thousand five hundred and forty low-grade spirit stones... various magical artifacts, treasures... various spiritual herbs...

"This……"

Jiang Chen, Zhao Rong'an, and Pei Yin looked at each other in silence.

"Indeed, murder and arson bring wealth."

"They killed dozens of cultivators, and yet they have so much stuff."

Jiang Chen was filled with emotion.

"Are cultivators in the Southern Continent really that wealthy?" Zhao Rong'an couldn't help but ask.

“The more robbers there are, the richer they become. Besides, these robbers aren’t rogue cultivators.” Jiang Chen pointed to the token that represented their identity.

"What should we do with these?" Pei Yin asked, looking at the token.

“I plan to throw it in the Black Corner Region,” Jiang Chen said.

“…” Pei Yin.

The Dou Qi Continent is millions or even tens of millions of kilometers away from the Tiannan Continent.

Even if it was sensed.

It's also impossible for them to fly to the Dou Qi Continent.

Jiang Chen put away the tokens, then picked up a magical artifact: "I'll refine some magical artifacts first."

"Are these flying magical artifacts?" Pei Yin recognized them.

“Yes, these magical artifacts only need slight modifications before they can be used. You will be able to use these flying magical artifacts then,” Jiang Chen said.

A day later, Jiang Chen had crafted dozens of flying magical artifacts.

This is because Jiang Chen had previously purchased courses on basic formations and basic weapon crafting.

Of course, this was also thanks to Jiang Chen's advanced comprehension.

As Jiang Chen stood up, he saw Zhao Rong'an and the others flying around the courtyard on various flying magical artifacts.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's lips twitched.

"Did you have fun?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm happy. This is different from flying on a sword; it's comfortable."

"It's just a little slow."

Zhao Rong'an and the others said.

"The main problem is that the level is too low. I will collect materials and refine a higher-level flying artifact in the future," Jiang Chen said.

“Refining flying magical artifacts is something that weapon refiners do. Husband, are you really a weapon refiner?” Zhao Rong’an asked.

“It’s not difficult,” Jiang Chen explained. “Besides, even if I don’t know how, Jiang Baoning and the others can refine it without any problem.”

Various weapon crafting knowledge is given priority to Shenji Pavilion.

Especially Jiang Baoning.

His talent in weapon crafting is the strongest in the Jiang family.

"It seems you can each choose one flying artifact, and I'll take the rest with me," Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.” Zhao Rong’an and the others naturally had no objections.

After all, their cultivation system differs from the cultivation talents of the Tiannan Continent, and these magical artifacts require some rule changes to be used. Although these rule changes are not numerous, not everyone can make them.

"By the way, have you sent anyone to the mortal realm?" Jiang Chen asked.

“No, what’s wrong?” Grace asked.

“The Tiannan Continent is so vast, with the mortal realm occupying most of it. But the mortal realm still has things we need. For example, food,” Jiang Chen said.

"Grain?" The women were slightly taken aback.

“Yes, whether it’s Jiangzhou in the Central Continent, or the Warring States Continent or the Wind and Cloud Continent, what our Jiang family lacks is food,” Jiang Chen explained.

“That’s true. In the mortal realm, gold and silver are traded,” Ye Caiwei said.

"What we earn on the Dou Qi Continent is gold coins, but gold coins can't be used for cultivation; they can only be used to buy various resources. However, if we buy food on the Tiannan Continent, we can supply places like Jiangzhou City," Jiang Chen said.

“Then we’ll make arrangements right away,” Ye Caiwei said.

"No rush, I need to recover first," Jiang Chen said.

"Husband, you should go into seclusion," Zhao Rong'an said.

"I mean, use the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique to recover." Jiang Chen looked intently at the women.

"..." The women.

Can it be restored using the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique?

After Jiang Chen explained, they understood.

But will they refuse?
Of course not.

On the path of cultivation, one must naturally find something one enjoys.

Cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique is no different.
"Let's go." Jiang Chen smiled.

Bai Kao'er and the others followed behind Jiang Chen.

……

After leaving the Tiannan Continent, Jiang Chen went directly to Haiyang City in the Black Corner Region of the Dou Qi Continent.

"What has the Rakshasa Sect been up to lately?" Jiang Chen asked Shi Yi and the others.

"The Rakshasa Sect has sent three groups of people recently, but they have all been dealt with by Si Teng." Shi Yi explained the details as she spoke.

"This is one million mid-grade spirit stones."

Jiang Chen took out a storage ring and handed it to Shi Yi, saying, "These mid-grade spirit stones are for using the mid-level spirit cannon, just in case."

"Okay." Shi Yi took the storage ring and said, "This is a storage ring?"

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

"What's the difference between this storage ring and your spatial ring?" Shi Yi asked.

“My spatial ring has all the functions that your spatial bracelets have, while this storage ring is just a storage ring,” Jiang Chen explained.

“That’s true.” Shi Yi nodded knowingly.

"I'm planning to go check out the Rakshasa Gate," Jiang Chen said.

"Go to Rakshasa Gate?" Shi Yi was taken aback.

“Yes, I’ll go take a look.” Jiang Chen nodded and said, “It’s only polite to reciprocate. I’ll go to the Rakshasa Sect; maybe I can resolve this trouble.”

"You broke through?" Shi Yi had been in Haiyang City for some time and was unaware of Jiang Chen's breakthrough.

"Yes, you've broken through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm," Jiang Chen said.

"That's good." Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Martial God Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm are only one realm apart, their strength is immense.

"Has nothing else happened in Haiyang City lately?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.

“As Haiyang City expands throughout the Black Corner Region, more and more people are coming to Haiyang City. Our talismans are the most sought-after items,” Ren Duomei said.

“Yes, there are more and more people drawing talismans now, and I will have Nie Xingchen and the others deliver the talismans on time. However, you can also barter,” Jiang Chen said.

"Barter?" Li Weiyang thought for a moment and said, "Use talismans to exchange for spiritual herbs?"

“Yes, not only spiritual herbs, but also various ores. The ores in the Dou Qi Continent include common iron ore, black iron ore, cold crystal stone, and sun gold ore, etc., with the quality increasing from low to high. Among them, sun gold ore is extremely rare and is mainly used for fine cultivation and resetting.” Jiang Chen explained what he knew, and then said, “In this regard, it’s okay even if we suffer losses in talismans.”

The Jiang family now has quite a few spirit fields, so making basic talisman paper is not troublesome, and inscribing basic talismans is not difficult.

"I've got it." Ren Duomei was in charge of selling talismans in Haiyang City.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen met Si Teng.

"Si Teng, you've broken through to the Martial God Realm?" Jiang Chen sensed the aura emanating from Si Teng.

“I have recovered to the Martial God Realm,” Si Teng said.

"Restored to the Martial God Realm?"

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and then he asked, "Si Teng, what was your strength back then?"

"Want to know?" Si Teng glanced at Jiang Chen.

"Mmm." Jiang Chen certainly wanted to know.

Si Teng is now at the Martial God Realm.

He is the second member of the Jiang family to break through to the Martial God Realm.

Therefore, he was even more eager to figure it out.

"Does the patriarch think I would tell you?" Si Teng countered.

"When do you want to tell me?" Jiang Chen didn't answer Si Teng's question at all.

"The patriarch will find out then," Si Teng said.

"I want to know now." Jiang Chen stepped forward, looking intently at Si Teng.

"Patriarch, is there anything else?" Si Teng was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

"I have a way that might help you recover faster," Jiang Chen said.

"What method?" Si Teng asked.

“Of course…” Jiang Chen chuckled and said softly.

Jiang Chen's method was very simple.

That is to cultivate the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique.

Cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique can increase one's cultivation level.

same.

It can also be used to heal injuries and restore cultivation.

Si Teng was already beautiful, but now that her cultivation has recovered to the Martial God Realm, her aura is even more difficult to conceal.

Although Si Teng is not human, Jiang Chen still wanted to try out what it felt like to be from a different race.

Although I've watched countless short films in my past and present lives, watching a movie and trying it yourself are completely different.

Moreover, Si Teng's cultivation has recovered to the Martial God Realm, and there might be unexpected benefits to cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with her.

"Master, please don't joke around." Unable to bear Jiang Chen's gaze, Si Teng turned and left.

Jiang Chen watched Si Teng's retreating figure and smiled meaningfully...
