From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 199 Entering the Marrow
When Nan Yanhujun took the demon pill, even though it had been soaked in the soul cleansing liquid for a few days, he could still smell a faint smell of blood when he held it in his mouth.

Strands of Chixiao's essence gushed out from the tip of the tongue, wrapping around the Eight-Pattern Demon Pill in his mouth and transforming into lines of burning heat.

It continuously dissolves into strands of elixir liquid, mixes with the saliva in the mouth, and flows into the stomach.

Even with Jiang Chen's current strong physique and digestive ability, when the elixir flowed into his stomach and dissolved, the vast amount of blood and energy still made him feel a sense of "fullness".

By practicing the "Furnace True Blood Method", the five internal organs turned into a rolling furnace, and the blood in the whole body became the firewood under the furnace, refining the power of the demon pill.

Then the "marrow fluid" is condensed in the body.

In fact, the last three stages of the ninth level of martial arts are all moving towards the same goal.

In the blood moving realm, the blood in the whole body is transformed, and in the marrow condensation stage, the goal is to transform the bone marrow with the spinal cord as the core.

Moving blood refines the Qi and blood, condensing marrow refines the bone marrow,
To achieve the Transcendent Realm, one must "achieve success in one go".
All the foundation in the body is transformed into "transcendence", and finally enter the "mud embryo realm" above the ninth level of martial arts, also known as the "grandmaster realm".

At this stage, the body is reshaped, as if Nuwa had recreated it, and it becomes a condensed precious body with the power to turn rivers and seas upside down, and the true meaning of magic can cover the sky and the sun.

Living to a thousand years old and remaining young forever is real, just like a god in the eyes of ordinary people.

……

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and practiced silently to transform the power of the Eight-Pattern Demon Pill and condense it into his own blood and marrow.

Starting from the spinal bone marrow, transformation little by little...

[Marrow Condensation Experience +1]

[Talent: Transformation (Eight Patterns) Experience +1]

……

Two hours later.

The night sky gradually darkened, the sun set in the west, and the Tiancang Demon Abyss in the distance, which was already shrouded in dark clouds, fell into complete silence.

Outside the tent came the flag captain of the main camp's low greeting: "Sir, it's time for dinner."

"Yes." Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and spit out the demon pill that had shrunk a little, "Come in."

"Yes." The flag officer outside the door lifted the curtain and walked in carrying a sumptuous meal and wine.

When he got closer to Jiang Chen, he became more respectful and carefully placed the food on the table, "Enjoy your meal, sir."

A few nights ago, although many of the soldiers in the main camp were seriously injured and unconscious,
But there were also many people who were not seriously injured, and they saw with their own eyes the Southern Tiger Lord who almost killed their leader.

But under Jiang Chen's hands, he was as vulnerable as tofu...

In the eyes of the main camp soldiers today, Jiang Chen's status is no less than Zhuo Jin's.

The flag officer left the tent, and Jiang Chen picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

In addition to some expensive spiritual medicines, the plate also contained various dishes cooked by the Eight-Striped Tiger King.

Tiger bone soup, braised tiger leg meat...

"tasty."

For other people, the flesh and blood of the eight-patterned demon is a great tonic, but no matter how it is cooked, it is as tough as cowhide and difficult to swallow.

But for Jiang Chen, it was just right, with the meat being quite chewy.

With a thought, the panel slowly unfolded before my eyes.

[Talent·Transformation (Eight Patterns): 48/100]

[Marrow Condensation: Getting Started (545/1000)]

……

After practicing for two hours with the help of Nan Yanhujun's demon pill, the experience value of [Condensing Marrow] increased from four hundred and thirty-nine to five hundred and forty-five, a total increase of eighty-five points.

At this rate of progress, it shouldn't take more than a few days for me to successfully enter the marrow condensation stage.

Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly upwards.

The experience value of the eight-patterned demon's innate magical power, [Transformation], increased by a total of three points.

After all, it is the magical power of the eight-pattern demon. Even Lord Nanyanhu himself has not practiced "transformation" to this level. Being able to gain three points of experience at a time is already quite good.

Jiang Chen withdrew his thoughts, closed the panel, and continued eating.

……

Jinpengwei City, Lin Mansion.

Lin Wanru sat on the jade chair in the main seat of the lobby, holding a small and exquisite purple clay teapot in her hand.

The fair and tender wrist tilted slightly downward, and a stream of tea like nectar slowly poured out from the spout of the teapot, and the faint tea fragrance filled the lobby.

She took a sip of the tea in the cup, turned to look at the maid who had just walked into the hall, and asked calmly: "What's the situation?"

"The news has been basically confirmed. The one who attacked the Golden Roc Guards was the Eight-Striped Tiger King on the Nanyan Mountain in the Tiancang Demon Abyss."

"Before, Zhuo Jin led his men to ambush and wipe out thousands of demons on Nanyan Mountain. Now they are back to seek revenge."

Lin Wanru nodded: "What's the result?"

The maid whispered, "Zhuo Jin is seriously injured now. I'm afraid he won't recover for several months. And the Southern Tiger Lord was killed by a lieutenant under Zhuo Jin's command."

"You also know this lieutenant general, he is Jiang Chen."

Lin Wanru was slightly stunned, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, "It turned out to be him."

Although the Jinpeng Guards blocked all information in the main camp, they could not withstand the investigation of those who were interested.

It was impossible to conceal the fact that Zhuo Jin was seriously injured, but there was actually someone in the Jinpeng Guard who was able to kill the Eight-Striped Tiger King.

This kind of strength is already a force that cannot be ignored in Jinpengwei City, so it is natural to investigate it thoroughly.

Most people in the city believed that Shen Baixuan had broken through from the Blood Moving Stage to the Marrow Condensation Stage and was able to kill the Southern Yanhu King.

Lin Wanru also made such a guess.

Unexpectedly, the one who killed Nan Yanhujun was Jiang Chen, who had just joined the Golden Peng Guard not long ago.

"I really didn't make a mistake..."

Lin Wanru suppressed the surprise on her face, silently picked up the jade teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and thought in her heart.

"Since my Lin family can find out this information, then I think the Zhu family should be able to find it too..."

Thinking of this, Lin Wanru smiled and said, "I'm sure the Zhu family must be very troubled when they hear this news. They suddenly have a mortal enemy whose strength is comparable to that of the Condensed Marrow Realm."

The feud between Jiang Chen and the Zhu family before was one that would never end.

It was only because of the protection of Zhuo Jin and Feng Yanghua that the Zhu family did not act rashly.

But who could have thought that in such a short time, such a ferocious tiger would be released...

The Zhu family and the Lin family are both dragon vein families, so there are natural conflicts.
What's more, the two families are in the same Jinpengwei City, and there have been considerable frictions in their business, and they have long been at loggerheads.

Lin Wanru was naturally happy to see the Zhu family in trouble, and now she was expecting Jiang Chen to bring even greater trouble to the Zhu family, or even...

With Jiang Chen's terrifying growth rate, he might be able to destroy the Zhu family one day.

Then even if the Lin family just followed behind and had a bowl of soup, they would still make a lot of money...

Of course, it’s too early to say that right now.

It is only as powerful as an eight-patterned minor demon, but it is not enough to destroy the Zhu family.

Lin Wanru tapped the table lightly with her fingertips and looked up at the maid beside her: "The Zhu family will definitely not sit still. They will definitely find a chance to test and confirm Jiang Chen's strength."

"Now that Zhuo Jin is seriously injured, there is no one to take over the position of leader of the Golden Roc Guard for the time being. This is an opportunity."

"Go check again. If you can confirm it, send the news to the Golden Roc Guards."

"Yes." The maid bowed slightly and turned to leave.

……

One day later.

Jinpeng Guards, main camp.

Jiang Chen finished his practice for the day, slowly exhaled, and raised his eyes.

[Marrow Condensation: Getting Started (867/1000)]

[Talent·Transformation (Eight Patterns): 52/100]

There is about half of Nan Yanhu Jun's demon pill left, which is enough for him to break through to the minor stage of marrow condensation.

It should be just two or three days.

The speed of improving "Transformation" has slowed down. It seems that the further you go, the harder it is to improve... "Sir, there is a woman visiting the main camp. She claims to be a maid of the Lin family and wants to see you."

Outside the door, a flag captain from the main camp said respectfully.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he thought about it.

The Lin family... that boy who gave away money last time...

Although there is someone like Lin Tiannan, Jiang Chen still has a good impression of Lin Wanru.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

……

After a while.

Jiang Chen raised his eyes from the envelope in front of him.

In the envelope was a letter written by Lin Wanru to herself, informing her of the Zhu family's recent movements, which might be aimed at the position of leader of the Jinpeng Guards.

Who knows, maybe a powerful Zhu family member who has reached the pinnacle of marrow condensation will come.

He also said that if necessary, his Lin family could also send powerful marrow-condensing masters to help him.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then glanced at the experience points on the panel that were about to enter the minor stage of marrow condensation.

After a brief estimation of my current strength,

He raised his eyes and looked at the maid of the Lin family in the tent: "Thank you Miss Lin for telling me this, but there is no need for you to help."

Introducing a strange Marrow Condensation expert into the Golden Roc Guards for no reason was somewhat cumbersome, and there was no need for it.

The maid of the Lin family was slightly stunned, then she reacted and said without saying anything more, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, I will take my leave first."

The tent became quiet.

"Zhu family..."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slowly.

"I haven't bothered you yet, but you guys are the first to bring trouble to me..."

……

Two days later.

The Acropolis was calm. Because of Zhuo Jin's assassination, the various forces that had been restless for several days finally calmed down.

The main camp of the Jinpeng Guards has returned to order, the dilapidated tents have been repaired, and Zhuo Jin has recovered from his serious and dying state, and his injuries have stabilized.

At least from the outside, it seems to have regained its former strength.

Deep in the mountains 200 miles away from the main camp.

On a huge rock three meters high.

The top of the rock had been cut into a platform. Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on top of the rock, took out the remaining half of the Tiger King Demon Pill, and put it into his mouth.

Today, I should be able to break through to the marrow condensation stage...

He then activated the Furnace True Blood Method, and the Qi and blood in his body surged, transporting the power of the demon pill and converging towards his own blood and marrow.

[Marrow Condensation Experience +1]

……

Time passed slowly, and the elixir liquid continued to transform.

The bone marrow in Jiang Chen's bones, in this blood, essence, and demon pill,
And on the panel, the experience value of [Condensation of Marrow] is also constantly increasing, gradually approaching the one thousand mark.

click -

There seemed to be a faint crisp sound coming from the body, and then, all the bones in the body seemed to make a series of fine cracking sounds.

It seemed as if something had broken out of its former skeleton.

A faint pure white halo shone through the bones, and it contrasted with the red light emanating from mercury and blood, illuminating the entire valley.

The overwhelming pressure involuntarily spread out from his body.

This terrifying pressure from above the level of life made the entire vibrant valley fall silent in an instant, and even the air became solidified.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and restrained his breath.

On the panel, the line "Condensate Marrow" has changed into a new appearance.

[Marrow Condensation: Minor Success (1/1000)]

Finally, I have successfully moved from blood transfer to marrow coagulation...

Jiang Chen moved his body slightly.

The powerful body, which was already like that of an eight-patterned great demon, was further enhanced.

A surging force like the ocean flowed through every inch of his body, as if every move he made had the power to overturn rivers and seas.

Of course, Jiang Chen knew that this was just an illusion caused by his own excessive strength. With his current strength, it would be no problem for him to destroy a few mountains, but it would be impossible for him to overturn the rivers and seas.

That is something that only a master warrior above the ninth level can do.

After entering the stage of marrow condensation, in addition to the meridians that serve as pathways for the flow of essence and energy, now even the bone marrow can circulate essence and energy.

The efficiency of the circulation of Qi, blood, essence and energy has been greatly improved, and the efficiency and power of performing major techniques have naturally also been enhanced to a certain extent.

"Condensing the marrow..."

Jiang Chen clenched his fist slightly, and the tremendous force directly exploded the air in his palm!

Bang!
The air waves spread out in all directions, covering an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius.

If I were to meet Lord Nan Yanhu now... I guess it wouldn't take so long.

One punch is enough to smash his head!
……

In the valley, he adjusted his body after entering the marrow condensation stage, and tested some great techniques and the changes in the intensity of his magical powers.

Even though he didn't use much force, he still almost blew the entire valley into pieces.

Then they left the valley and returned to the main camp of the Guards.

As soon as I entered the main camp, a flag officer came hurriedly over.

"Sir, Commander Zhu of the city garrison has arrived and is now in the main camp tent."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

City garrison, Zhu Hongyi...

There are two military camps in Jinpengwei City, the garrison army and the Jinpengwei army.

The Jinpeng Guards are mainly engaged in fighting in the Demon Abyss, while the troops stationed in the city are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the city.

Although the two military camps are parallel, there is a big gap in the strength and number of troops. The garrison troops stay in the city all year round and have never fought, so their combat effectiveness is weak.

Zhu Hongyi was the commander of the garrison troops and also a member of the Zhu family.

He came here today, either for the position of the commander of the guards, or as Lin Wanru said, he came for himself.

Jiang Chen turned his eyes to the big tent in the center of the main camp:
"How did he get in?"

Without orders from himself and other generals of the guards, the soldiers in the main camp would never dare to let an outsider in.

The flag officer beside him hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It was General He Yuan who brought him in."

He Yuan, also one of the generals of the Jinpeng Guard, has been in the guard longer than Zhuo Jin and has accumulated a considerable network of contacts in the army.

He has always been perfunctory in carrying out Zhuo Jin's orders.

Whether it was the last battle at Nanyan Mountain or the sneak attack on the main camp a few days ago, this person was not seen.

And now,
When you eat inside and outside, it comes pretty fast...

Jiang Chen's eyes were calm as he walked towards the main camp tent.

Before entering the tent, I heard the indifferent voice of a middle-aged man coming from inside the tent.

"The files are in a mess, and the camp is like a slum. It seems that Zhuo Jin is not a good commander."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen raised his hand, opened the curtain, and walked into the big tent.
