From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 142: Zhicao Juyuan Pill

The examiner in the examination room announced the test results.

Zhu Yongze, who was now unconscious, flew out of the examination room and was carried away by the doctor.

Jiang Chen also jumped off the field and prepared to return to the stands.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a pair of cold eyes staring at him not far away.

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked.

In the northwest corner of the martial arts arena, there was a tall figure in red clothes, staring at him intently.

His eyes were deep, with an indescribable meaning.

Jiang Chen naturally knew who this person was, the son of the third branch of the Zhu family, Zhu Guanyu.

Seeing Jiang Chen turning around and looking at him, Zhu Guanyu slowly withdrew his gaze.

"..."

Looks like this guy has been targeting me...

Jiang Chen slowly narrowed his eyes.

It's a bit troublesome. I can't deal with the huge Zhu family behind Zhu Guanyu for the time being...

Forget it, I’ll talk about it after I pass the Doukui.

By becoming a disciple of the Longxiang Sect, he had gained a status in the city of Longxiang County.

They will no longer be so easy to control like the warriors from the hundreds of cities in other counties.

Jiang Chen temporarily suppressed his thoughts and returned to the edge of the martial arts arena, waiting for the end of the third round of fighting.

About a quarter of an hour later, more than a hundred fights finally ended.

Among more than a thousand candidates for the Doukui competition, more than a hundred were selected to pass the first round of the Doukui competition and remain in the martial arts arena.

Among them, most are descendants of noble families from Jinpengwei City, and only a few are from the county’s Wei City.

Feng Ruxin also successfully passed the third round of Doukui.

In the third round of Doukui, she also encountered a child from an aristocratic family, but fortunately, he did not have a perfect organ forging, but a great achievement.

As a result, he passed the Doukui exam, but his right arm was fractured and it would probably take some time to fully recover.

In addition to her, many warriors in the training ground were seriously injured.

At this time,

At the top of the tall and exquisite pavilion, there is an eagle-like terrace.

Feng Yanghua, who was in the middle of a group of officials, stood up and glanced at all the warriors present.

"The first round of the Doukuei competition has ended. All of you who have stood out from this are geniuses in our Longxiang County."

"However, the number of places for admission is limited. Fifty people will be screened out of the 150 people present."

"You all have ten days to rest and recuperate. After ten days, you will participate in the second round of Doukui and go to the Demon Abyss to collect herbs."

"The ranking will be determined by the amount of herbs collected. The top 100 can join our Dragon Elephant Sect, the top 30 can choose any one of their techniques, and the top 10 can directly serve as city lieutenants!"

"Okay, now please line up to receive the Small Marrow Cleansing Pill, and then you can leave."

……

After saying that, Feng Yanghua turned and left the terrace.

The other officials in Jinpengwei City also dispersed.

Walking down the stairs, Feng Yanghua waved.

A servant walked quickly to his side.

"grown ups."

Feng Yanghua said, "What's the name of the warrior from Baicheng who just defeated the Zhu family's disciple?"

"Tell him to come find me after he gets the small marrow cleansing pill."

The servant nodded slightly and bowed, then turned and left.

……

On the martial arts field.

The attendants that Feng Yanghua brought from the main city placed several gold and stone tables in the open space in front of the martial arts arena, took out jade bottles one by one, and handed them to the warriors who had passed the first round of the Doukuei.

Small Marrow Cleansing Pill, a precious pill that can improve one's talents and speed of cultivation.

Even if the improvement is not much, it is still a good thing that warriors dream of.

Perhaps it is this improvement that will allow them to break through and reach a level that they have not been able to break through for a long time.

Jiang Chen also came to the back of a team and lined up, waiting to receive the Small Marrow Cleansing Pill.

At this time.

A blue-clothed attendant, dressed elegantly and no less handsome than the children of aristocratic families, walked out of the exquisite pavilion.

He walked straight to Jiang Chen.

"Young Master, is this Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "That's right, I'm wondering what this gentleman wants to see me about."

The servant smiled kindly and said, "It's not me who is looking for you, it's my master who is looking for you."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment.

Judging from his attitude, he should not be from the Zhu family.

Moreover, the clothes this person was wearing were the same as the person who distributed the "Small Marrow Cleansing Pill" in front.

Something moved in his heart.

Is this person Feng Yanghua's subordinate?

He thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, please wait for a moment, sir. I will follow you after I get this small marrow cleansing pill."

"No need to bother."

The servant chuckled, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it over.

The appearance of this jade bottle is no different from the small jade bottles of marrow cleansing pills distributed by other servants in front of the team.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then nodded and took the jade bottle.

Ok?
Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong as soon as he got the jade bottle in his hand.

The reward for passing the first round of Doukui is a small marrow cleansing pill.

Therefore, the jade bottle obtained by other warriors only contained a small marrow cleansing pill.

But the jade bottle in my hand,

While moving, he could clearly sense that two pills were colliding in the jade bottle. He raised his head and glanced at the green-clothed attendant in front of him.

The blue-robed attendant's expression did not change, and he only had a gentle smile on his face.

Jiang Chen understood and bowed, "Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome."

The blue-robed attendant nodded and said.

It is obvious that Jiang Chen has won the favor of his master at this moment, and he may have to deal with him in the future.

It’s not a bad thing to make friends in advance.

Moreover, the rewards distributed by the Dragon Elephant Sect have certain backups to avoid unexpected situations.

These backups are in his hands. If he gives him one more small marrow cleansing pill, no one will find out.

"Come with me."

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded, then followed the green-clothed attendant and walked towards the exquisite pavilion.

Behind him, the warriors who were queuing up looked at Jiang Chen's departing back with different expressions.

"This is, I was chosen by a big shot..."

"Tsk, isn't it just that I hit him hard enough? If I had known earlier, I would have hit him harder..."

"Haha, that's a member of the Zhu family. If it were you, regardless of whether you could beat him or not, even if you could, would you dare to use such heavy hands?"

"..."

……

Jiang Chen followed the green-clothed attendant and entered the exquisite pavilion.

The entire pavilion is built with precious golden wood. The beams and pillars are majestic and exude a faint wood fragrance.

Bead curtains and screens are used as partitions to separate the paths and rooms.

Go up to the third floor and there is a side room.

The blue-robed attendant knocked gently on the door.

"Sir, we have already arrived."

"Well, come in."

The blue-clothed attendant gently opened the door, then turned around and led Jiang Chen into the room.

On the east side of the wing, near the window, there is a low desk. A young man in white clothes is sitting on a velvet cushion, flipping through a book in his hands.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen who walked into the room.

"Jiang Chen, right? Please sit down."

Jiang Chen naturally recognized that the man in front of him was the Dragon Elephant Sect's true disciple, Feng Yanghua, who had just spoken on the terrace.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."

Then he lowered his body and sat opposite the desk.

Feng Yanghua picked up the tea tray on the left side of the table, took out a teacup, placed it in front of Jiang Chen, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Drink some tea and see how it tastes."

"Yes."

The faint fragrance of tea permeates the room, and smelling it can make people feel refreshed.

The tea leaves in the cup are as crystal clear as pieces of jade, reflecting a bright color under the light from the window.

Jiang Chen picked up the teacup, not worrying about any problems with the tea.

Given Feng Yanghua's strength and status, if he wanted to take action against me, he would naturally resort to this method.

He took a sip of the tea and commented, "It's sweet and mellow, and leaves a lasting aftertaste."

Feng Yanghua nodded:
"This tea is called White Jade. It tastes elegant and sweet and is good for your health."

"Drinking tea for many years can even slightly improve one's talent, so it is very popular among the warriors of Jinpengwei City... The only drawback is that it is too expensive."

Feng Yanghua changed the subject.

"Since discovering that white jade has the effect of improving talent, the aristocratic families in the county city quickly occupied the production area of ​​white jade and divided it up. Only a small amount of white jade was released and sold at a very high price."

"Do you think their behavior is appropriate?"

Jiang Chen's heart moved.

Is this...taking sides?
It seems that Feng Yanghua has some irreconcilable conflicts with the aristocratic families in Jinpengwei City...

No, it can't be just Feng Yanghua. It should be said that there is a conflict between the main lineage of Longxiang Sect and the families within Longxiang Sect.

He had already offended the Zhu family of Jinpengwei City, so it was naturally impossible for him to stand on the side of the aristocratic family.

Jiang Chen thought about it and said, "It's not right. If everything is like this, in the long run, all resources will be occupied by the noble families, and ordinary people will have no way to practice martial arts even if they are talented."

Hearing Jiang Chen's answer, Feng Yanghua nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Yes, indeed."

Jiang Chen's words expressed his true feelings, and Feng Yanghua was naturally satisfied.

"It is not easy for you to have such strength and insight at such a young age. Once you pass the Dou Kui, you don't need to worry about the follow-up matters. I will take care of it."

Jiang Chen bowed again and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."

Feng Yanghua added: "You have offended the Zhu family now. When you enter the Demonic Abyss to collect herbs, the sect will not supervise you in detail. I am afraid that the Zhu family may target you, so you need to be more careful."

"If you find that something is not right, hide first. Even if you can't make it into the top ten, it doesn't matter. Within three years, you will still have the opportunity to be promoted to city lieutenant."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes."

After Feng Yanghua finished speaking, he opened a drawer under the desk, took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"This is?"

Jiang Chen took the medicine bottle and asked doubtfully.

Feng Yanghua smiled and said, "This is the Zhicao Juyuan Pill."

When Jiang Chen heard this, he immediately recalled the use of this pill.

The Zhicao Juyuan Pill has a similar effect to the "Linglu Pill" that he got from Chen Yun, the owner of the Yunfeng Inn. They are both a kind of pill specially used to break through the Zhuzang level and the small realm.

However, the value and efficacy of this "Zhicao Juyuan Dan" far exceeds that of "Linglu Dan".

"Practice hard. Although you are quite powerful, your realm is still too low."

Jiang Chen immediately said: "Thank you, sir. Jiang Chen will definitely work hard to practice and live up to your trust."
