Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1671 Yi Wenjun: What are you doing here?
Tianqi Continent, Tianqi City, Jiang Mansion.

"It's been a long time since I've been here," Jiang Chen said with some emotion.

"Is everything resolved?" Wang Manni asked.

"Yes, it's all taken care of." Jiang Chen nodded.

The most important thing about coming to the Fourth World this time is to solve the problem of cultivation resources. Therefore, Jiang Chen has spent most of the past two months in the Tiannan Continent and the Dou Qi Continent. The cultivation resources he has obtained now will be enough for at least a year.

“Currently, the only place to obtain spirit stones is the Tiannan Continent. Although there are quite a few spirit stones on the Tiannan Continent, if we want to provide our family with a long period of cultivation, we must develop our power on the Tiannan Continent,” Jiang Tianlan said.

"I know."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "In the Tiannan Continent, the strongest stage is the Nascent Soul stage, which is equivalent to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, the Giant Spirit Realm, and the Profound Realm. Therefore, relatively speaking, our strength is still low."

"My lord, what are the major powers in the Tiannan Continent?" Shen Cuixi asked.

Jiang Chen said, "The smallest power in the mortal world of Tiannan Continent is the family power. As far as I know, among the family powers in Tiannan Continent, the strongest cultivators in the Huang family, Li family, and Wang family are only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators."

“My lord, as far as I know, the cultivation stages in the Southern Continent are divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation. Under normal circumstances, one can only open a small sect at the Core Formation stage, which is the most basic requirement,” Shen Cuixi said.

“Yes, so these three families are not sects, but small cultivation families with some cultivators in them.” Jiang Chen nodded.

In the drama, when Han Li came out of the Fallen Demon Valley and arrived at Linglin Mountain in Ningzhou, Dongyu Kingdom, Tiannan, he visited these three families to gather information.

Due to the scarcity of spiritual energy on Linglin Mountain, most of the disciples of the three families are low-level disciples at the third level of Qi Refining. Among the three families, the strongest are only three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and only one of them is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Such a family is among the weakest in the cultivation world, only stronger than ordinary martial arts sects like the Seven Mysteries Sect and the Wild Wolf Gang.

After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, "As far as I know, the powerful families at the Core Formation stage include the Yan family and the Fu family. The Yan family is the number one family in the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, and also the only cultivation family in Yue Kingdom with a Core Formation stage cultivator outside of the major cultivation sects."

The Yan family in the drama has at least two Core Formation stage cultivators, plus Yan Ruyan, who possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root and is protecting her Core Formation stage, making them a very powerful cultivation family. Later, Yan Ruyan and one of her cousins ​​reached the Nascent Soul stage, making them even stronger, but by then they were already in the Ghost Spirit Sect era.

The Fu family was a prominent cultivation family in the Yuanwu Kingdom, the very family that was destroyed by Han Li, a Nascent Soul cultivator, in the drama. This family was also quite powerful; Han Li killed three Core Formation cultivators, and the family also possessed a spirit beast, the Iron Rhinoceros, which could fight against Core Formation cultivators, making them very formidable.

“With our strength, we can now compete with the powerful families at the Core Formation stage,” Wang Manni said.

"Correct."

After glancing at the women, Jiang Chen said, "Besides these family forces, there are also forces like Spirit Beast Mountain, Yellow Maple Valley, Qingxu Sect, Huadao Dock, Tianque Fortress, Giant Sword Sect, Tianxing Sect, Divine Weapon Sect, Wanmiao Temple, Baiqiao Academy, and Luoyun Sect. These are mid-level sects in the Tiannan Continent, and each has at least one Nascent Soul level cultivator in charge."

"So, we can rival these forces?" Jiang Tianlan said.

“Yes, given our family’s situation, we can be compared to these forces,” Chen Xin said.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "However, our family doesn't have many people. In the Tiannan Continent, taking Huangfeng Valley as an example, the total number of disciples is about 10,000, of which more than 9,000 are Qi Refining cultivators, about 300 to 400 are Foundation Establishment cultivators, about 3 to 8 are Core Formation cultivators, and one is Nascent Soul cultivator. The strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator is no more than a Grandmaster, and our Star Riders are strong enough to crush them."

“If we all use Star Riders, the forces of Tiannan Continent probably won’t let us off the hook,” Jiang Tianlan pointed out incisively.

"good."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Besides forces like Huangfeng Valley, there are higher-level forces such as the Ancient Sword Sect, Ni Hangzhai, Yanyue Sect, and Blood Slaughter Sect. These sects have at least one mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, and two or three early-Nascent Soul cultivators as well. In addition, there are four sects that are among the six major sects of the Demonic Path: Tian Sha Sect, Blood Flame Sect, Thousand Illusions Sect, and Ghost Spirit Sect."

"The Six Sects of the Demonic Path?" Wang Manni looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

Among the six sects of the demonic path, the Ghost Spirit Sect is the weakest. In terms of apparent strength, the Ghost Spirit Sect has two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, Soul Shattering True Man and Elder Zhong, and one early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Wang Tiansheng, Wang Tiangu, and a deceased Primordial cultivator. Therefore, the other three sects also have two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and three or four early-stage Primordial cultivators.

In reality, the Ghost Spirit Sect's true strength should be slightly greater than the other three sects. This is because the Ghost Spirit Sect has a hidden cultivator at the mid-stage of the Yuan realm, namely the old man surnamed Yun who once ambushed Marquis Nanlong. As for the Ghost Spirit Sect being ranked at the bottom of the demonic path, the old man surnamed Yun should not be included in its strength calculation. Few people in the Ghost Spirit Sect know the true identity of the old man surnamed Yun, and it's impossible for three mid-stage and three early-stage Yuan realm cultivators to be at the bottom of the six sects.

“The stronger forces are the Beiye Sect, Yuling Sect, Tianji Gate, Haoran Pavilion, and Luanming Sect. These sects have six or seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators in charge, and at least two of them are powerful mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators.”

Jiang Chen continued, "Besides these sects, there are also the Tai Zhen Sect, the Hua Yi Sect, and the He Huan Sect. These three sects are the super sects of the Tiannan Continent, each with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge."

"What are the specific situations of the Tai Zhen Sect, the Hua Yi Sect, and the He Huan Sect?" Luo Yue asked.

"Tai Zhen Sect is the number one orthodox sect in Tiannan Continent, and also the sect with the most Nascent Soul cultivators on the Tiannan Continent. Hua Yi Sect is one of the two largest sects in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, but its number of Nascent Soul cultivators is slightly less than that of Tai Zhen Sect. He Huan Sect is the leader of the six demonic sects, and is headed by the He Huan Old Demon, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage."

Jiang Chen said, "These three sects are roughly equal in strength, each with five to eight elders at the early or mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, plus one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, these large sects all possess powerful ancient treasures and talismans. However, although there are many forces in the Tiannan Continent, these forces belong to four major powers: the Righteous Path Alliance, the Six Demonic Sects, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and the Heavenly Path Alliance."

"So, these sects form the four major powers?" Shen Cuixi asked.

“Yes, these four major forces are fighting each other in the Southern Continent, all for the purpose of plundering cultivation resources,” Jiang Chen said.

Wang Manni and the others fell silent.

After practicing cultivation, they deeply understood the importance of cultivation resources.

Without cultivation resources, even cultivating in the Fourth World will result in very slow progress.

While the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique can enhance strength, it is far from sufficient for rapidly improving one's cultivation level.

Moreover, cultivation resources are not limited to spirit stones.

Elixirs, formations, talismans...

These are all essential.

“The spiritual plants cultivated in our spiritual fields and fish ponds are becoming increasingly stable. However, the spiritual stones produced by our spiritual veins are limited, so we must solve the problem of spiritual stone consumption,” Jiang Chen said.

The Jiang family currently controls a low-grade spiritual vein, which produces only a little over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones per year.

These low-grade spirit stones are not enough for Jiang Chen's cultivation alone.

“If it were just a few sects, it wouldn’t be difficult for us to develop in the Tiannan Continent. But it’s different when these sects form four forces. If we make a move, we will definitely be targeted,” Wang Manni said, thinking of what Jiang Chen had just said about the situation in the Tiannan Continent.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

If it weren't for these issues, Jiang Chen would have already led the Jiang family army to conquer the Tiannan Continent.

“If we want to build up our power in the Southern Continent and seize cultivation resources, we must make enemies of those sects,” Jiang Tianlan said.

"Yes, this is the last resort." Jiang Chen has a great need for spirit stones. If you add the Star Riders, Eagle Armor Guards, Embroidered Uniform Guards, and Plum Blossom Inner Guards, the spirit stones needed by the Jiang family can be about the same as those needed by the Hidden Moon Sect in the Southern Continent.

This means that unless the Jiang family's influence in the Tiannan Continent can rival that of the Hidden Moon Sect, it would be enough to change the situation on the Tiannan Continent, and war would likely be frequent.

Although the experts of the Jiang family can rival those of Huangfeng Valley, the foundation of the Jiang family is simply incomparable to that of Huangfeng Valley.

Jiang Chen believed that if the Jiang family fought Huangfeng Valley with all their might, the Jiang family would surely be defeated.

"So, you're planning to go find other continents?" Chen Xin asked.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I plan to explore the new continent or go to the southern part of the Tiannan Continent when I have time, to find new cultivation resources."

After discussing the Tiannan Continent for a while, Jiang Chen inquired about the Tianqi Continent.

Wang Manni and the others recounted what had happened in Tianqi City.

Jiang Chen listened silently.

After Ye Dingzhi abducted the bride, Yi Wenjun was hidden away by Jiang Chen.

Because Jiang Chen hid Yi Wenjun, Xiao Ruojin thought that Yi Wenjun had been taken away by Ye Dingzhi. Therefore, Xiao Ruojin is now trying her best to send people to find Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun.

Not only Xiao Ruojin, but Emperor Tai'an and others are also looking for people.

However, because of Yi Wenjun's affair, the struggle for the throne among Xiao Ruojin and others has become increasingly brutal.

"Husband, should we participate in the struggle for the throne?" Shen Cuixi asked.

"No need now."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "In the Tianqi Continent, the imperial court and the martial arts world are independent of each other. The imperial court is also quite powerful, so let's wait and see. As for the martial arts world, I want to take over the Dark River."

"An underground river?" Wang Manni hesitated for a moment and asked, "The underground river beneath the Shadow Sect?"

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "The Dark River organization originated during the Northern Li Kingdom period. Initially, it was a secret assassination agency established by the imperial court. Its predecessor was a branch of the Shadow Sect founded by Yi Shuihan, the number one assassin in the world. After the Shadow Sect helped Emperor Xiao Yi of the Northern Li Kingdom conquer the country, part of the Shadow Sect stayed in Tianqi City to protect the royal family, while the other part was formed by Yi Shuihan drawing elites from the Su family (skilled in swordsmanship and weapons), the Xie family (skilled in internal energy and knife techniques), and the Mu family (skilled in trickery and medicine) to form the 'Dark River,' specifically responsible for controlling the forces of the martial arts world. After its establishment, the Dark River was directly under the imperial court. On the surface, it was an assassin organization that killed for money, collecting mission notices through the three officials of the Soul-Seizing Hall. However, in reality, it was controlled by the royal family through the Shadow Sect for a long time, carrying out extreme missions such as 'human sacrifice.' After hundreds of years of development, the Dark River's strength expanded, possessing dozens of experts in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm and many experts in the Free and Unfettered Earth Realm. It also gradually accumulated wealth and became economically independent."

The turning point for the Dark River sect in the drama occurs after its patriarch, Mu Mingce, is poisoned and on the verge of death after attempting to assassinate the second master of the Tang Clan. This triggers an internal power struggle among the three Dark River families. Taking advantage of this, the brothers Su Changhe and Su Muyu join forces with the "Other Shore" organization (a reformist faction composed of nameless individuals) to eliminate the Shadow Sect of Tianqi City and kill its leader, Yi Bu, thus completely severing the imperial court's control and transforming the Dark River into an independent martial arts sect. Subsequently, under Su Muyu's leadership, the Dark River implements management system reforms, retaining its weapon workshops, pharmacies, and other industries. By using its powerful Divine Realm abilities to deter opposition forces, it ultimately breaks free from the imperial court's constraints.

The Dark River has not yet separated from the Shadow Sect, but the three major families of the Dark River are already dissatisfied with the Shadow Sect.

"What should we do?" Wang Manni asked.

"Use the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the situation of the three major families of the Dark River, and then sow discord among them, causing the three major families of the Dark River to take action against the Shadow Sect." Jiang Chen knew the specific details of the power struggle among the three major families of the Dark River in the drama, so at this moment he not only had the means to make the three major families fight for power in the drama, but also the means to greatly reduce the strength of the Dark River.

“Our Embroidered Uniform Guard has now established a foothold on the Tianqi Continent. Although its strength is a bit low, it can still do these things,” Jiang Tianlan said.

"Yes, the Embroidered Uniform Guard now has relevant regulations. As long as they can complete their tasks well, they will receive the necessary resources and rewards," Jiang Chen said.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards, after their previous training, were only there to gather information.

In other worlds, even if the Embroidered Uniform Guard's strength is low, it's enough.

But it's different in the Fourth World.

In the Fourth World, the strength of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was still too low.

However, the Fourth World differs from other worlds in the density of spiritual energy.

This also means that these Imperial Guards can better improve their strength, and Jiang Chen, Shi Yi, and others have formulated a strict reward system specifically for them. Low-grade spirit stones and century-old Vermilion Fruits are among the rewards.

Therefore, as long as those Imperial Guards can complete their missions, improving their strength is not difficult.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen arrived at a courtyard.

"you……"

Upon seeing Jiang Chen arrive, Yi Wenjun immediately stood up.

"It's been a while since we last met. Are you surprised to see me?" Jiang Chen looked at Yi Wenjun with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Yi Wenjun forced herself to calm down.

“You.” Jiang Chen approached Yi Wenjun.

Yi Wenjun instinctively stepped back.

But as soon as Yi Wenjun took a step back, Jiang Chen grabbed her waist.

"You, let me go..." Yi Wenjun struggled.

"Do you know why you have no power to resist me? Do you know why you can't defy Emperor Tai'an's bestowed marriage? It's because you have no strength," Jiang Chen said, looking at Yi Wenjun.

Yi Wenjun remained silent.

"Do you want to take control of your own destiny?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What?" Yi Wenjun looked at Jiang Chen.

“I can provide you with cultivation resources.”

Jiang Chen looked at Yi Wenjun and said, "As long as you can cultivate and break through to the Divine Travel Profound Realm, I will set you free."

"Breakthrough to the Divine Realm? How is that possible?" Yi Wenjun exclaimed in surprise.

“What’s impossible?” Jiang Chen naturally knew that in “Young White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze,” not many people had reached the Divine Travel Realm, let alone that the story had only just begun.

However, we are not in the world of film and television now, but in a world where film and television are integrated.

If Yi Wenjun has the cultivation resources of the Jiang family but still cannot break through to the Divine Travel Profound Realm, then there is a problem.

“It’s simply impossible,” Yi Wenjun said.

“If you think it’s impossible, then you have no choice,” Jiang Chen said.

"You'll let me go?" Yi Wenjun snorted.

"Of course not."

Jiang Chen said, "Even if I give you cultivation resources to train you, it's still to ensure you reach your full potential."

Jiang Chen is not Xiao Ruofeng.

In Jiang Chen's opinion, Xiao Ruofeng's attitude towards Yi Wenjun was the act of a fool.

For Jiang Chen, whether it's a woman or anything else, if he wants it, he has to get it.

To obtain at any cost.

"So you really are like this..." Yi Wenjun's expression changed.

“But at least I gave you a chance. Besides, if I wanted to do something to you, do you think you could possibly resist?” Jiang Chen asked.

Yi Wenjun remained silent.

While imprisoned in this courtyard, she did consider escaping, even trying to send a message to the Shadow Sect, but all her attempts failed. Moreover, just as Jiang Chen said, if Jiang Chen wanted to do something, she had no choice but to change her fate and resist.

“Yi Wenjun, I’ll give you time to consider. Will you remain a caged bird, or will you follow my advice and improve your cultivation in exchange for freedom?” Jiang Chen said.

"Then what kind of freedom are you talking about?" Yi Wenjun asked.

“I don’t object to you doing anything,” Jiang Chen said.

Of course, Jiang Chen was just saying it for the sake of saying it.

When Jiang Chen took Yi Wenjun away last time, he had already tasted her lipstick, so he would never allow any man to touch her.

So-called freedom is only relative.

“I’ll think about it,” Yi Wenjun said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled and used his other hand to lift Yi Wenjun's chin.

Yi Wenjun was filled with fear.

This reminded her of what Jiang Chen had done to her a few months ago.

really.

Jiang Chen approached silently.

Yi Wenjun shuddered and instinctively closed her eyes.

I do not know how long it has been.

Just when Yi Wenjun felt she was about to suffocate, she finally got a chance to catch her breath.

Yi Wenjun was panting heavily.

When she saw Jiang Chen's eyes, she felt both ashamed and angry.

"I'm very satisfied," Jiang Chen said in a low voice.

"..." Yi Wenjun.

"Don't think about people you shouldn't think about in the future. Whether it's Xiao Ruofeng or Ye Dingzhi, I'm not a soft-hearted person." When Jiang Chen won over Wei Wei, she was on the phone with her boyfriend.

Therefore, even though she knew that Yi Wenjun was thinking about Xiao Ruofeng and Ye Dingzhi, she didn't care at all.

If you can't even get her body, how can you get her heart?
Jiang Chen didn't believe in the idea of ​​winning her heart first and then her body.

Except for the First World, all other worlds prioritize human beings over their hearts.

This is the benefit of receiving excellent education in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

Upon hearing this, Yi Wenjun felt a chill run down her spine and quickly agreed.
