The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

“You are truly a great talent. I have decided to recommend you to the General. If the General accepts you, we will be colleagues from now on. If you ever become successful, Mr. Jiang, please don’t forget to look after me.”

Jade Tiger's words were purely polite.

As one of the Four Fiends of the Night, Emerald Tiger was favored by Jiang Chuan after he rose to prominence. Doesn't that mean that Jiang Chuan must at least be one of the Four Fiends?

Afterwards, led by Emerald Tiger, Jiang Chuan went to the General's Mansion.

After such a long time since arriving in Xinzheng, he finally got to see Ji Wuye.

There's not much to say about their first meeting.

After the meeting, Jiang Chuan officially became a member of Nightfall.

Because of his exceptional business acumen, he was placed under Emerald Tiger's command to assist him in his business endeavors.

In this way, Jiang Chuan has finally established a firm foothold in Xinzheng.

……

The sun and moon pass swiftly, and spring and autumn alternate in their order.

Time flies and never returns.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Jiang Chuan finally truly understood the feeling of time flying by.

Fortunately, it has only been a few months, so he doesn't have to worry about things like plants withering or beauties fading in age.

Over the past few months, he has brought many business methods from later generations to this world, thus helping Emerald Tiger make a lot of ill-gotten gains. Although some of these methods are criticized by people in later generations, Jiang Chuan used them in this world without any psychological burden.

This led to his status by Emerald Tiger's side constantly rising.

Although Jiang Chuan is a member of the Nightfall organization and, strictly speaking, is Ji Wuye's subordinate, Ji Wuye has allowed Jiang Chuan to temporarily follow Emerald Tiger. Now, Emerald Tiger has clearly regarded Jiang Chuan as a strategist.

It's hard to imagine that just six months ago, Jiang Chuan was a villager living in a mountain village in the State of Wei.

In the past few months, besides consolidating his position by Emerald Tiger's side and constantly improving his own value, Jiang Chuan has spent most of his time practicing martial arts.

After all, this world ultimately belongs to the "sword," and only the strong can control the discourse.

When Jiang Chuan first arrived in Xinzheng, with the help of his mysterious golden finger and his dual cultivation with Ru Shuang, his internal strength was close to the second-rate level. If you count the sword techniques and moves that Ru Shuang taught him, he already had first-rate combat power.

Now, several months have passed.

His internal strength has officially reached a first-class level.

Besides the fact that he cultivated with Ru Shuang, Jiang Chuan also gained wealth and acquired many precious medicinal herbs and tonics by following Jade Tiger.

Over this long period of time, Jiang Chuan has basically figured out the use of his cheat ability.

Although it's a bit outrageous.

But probably, with the help of that mysterious misty space, he can quickly master various martial arts techniques and skillfully perform them. However, some profound martial arts require an extremely strong foundation of internal energy to perform. Even if he can master them, whether he can use them is another matter.

In addition, his internal energy circulation speed will increase when he engages in dual cultivation.

It seems that the practice of dual cultivation resonated with some profound principle of the universe, thereby unlocking a function of his cheat ability, which made his cultivation speed faster and his perception of the power of the universe stronger.

It was precisely for this reason that, despite his fixed physical constitution and narrow meridians, he was still able to condense internal energy so quickly.

Internal energy is not generated out of nowhere; rather, it is generated by transforming more of the power of heaven and earth during the process.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Death of the Emerald Tiger

So, besides transforming the power of heaven and earth into internal energy through dual cultivation, is there a way to speed up this process?

Naturally there is.

That is, to take those precious medicinal herbs for nourishment.

Then, during the dual cultivation process, Jiang Chuan absorbed the power of heaven and earth and refined his own medicinal power. With double acceleration, his internal strength progressed faster and faster.

Of course, there are also drawbacks.

That is, like frost, it cannot withstand conquest.

Jiang Chuan's combat power was already growing stronger, and with the added effect of the medicine, his combat power immediately soared.

Ru Shuang did want to arrange a concubine for Jiang Chuan, but unfortunately, she had only talked about it for the past few months and hadn't found a good opportunity. So, for now, she could only bear Jiang Chuan's attacks alone.

in the room.

After another fierce battle.

Jiang Chuan felt the changes within his body; his internal strength had improved a little more.

It's already at a top-tier level.

If you progress further, you'll reach the innate level.

If he could open the bridge between heaven and earth, communicate with heaven and earth through his spiritual power, and circulate the power of heaven and earth, given the special nature of his cheat ability, his progress might be even faster.

"Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Jiang Chuan looked down again at the exhausted Ru Shuang beside him and said something to her with some pity.

Ru Shuang was completely exhausted. Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, she simply rolled her eyes at him.

They all know I work very hard, yet they still treat me so harshly.

Jiang Chuan knew he had let Ru Shuang down, but when the mood struck, he couldn't help himself and found it hard to control himself.

After circulating his internal energy for a while...

Jiang Chuan then said to Ru Shuang, "I do need your help with something, Madam."

"What is it?" Ru Shuang asked Jiang Chuan with a forced effort.

"Kill the Emerald Tiger!"

Jiang Chuan casually mentioned something.

Ru Shuang's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Jiang Chuan said, "In the past few months, I have been working under Emerald Tiger and have given him a lot of advice. He has indeed made a lot of money by using those methods, but he has also attracted the hostility of many of his peers. Moreover, his crazy methods of accumulating wealth have caused the poor to cry out in despair and their families to be destroyed. In other words, he has many enemies."

"Over the past few months, I have now completely gained the trust of Ji Wuye and Fei Cuihu, but if I want to continue climbing the ranks, it will be difficult. The biggest obstacle is Fei Cuihu."

"Ultimately, it was Jade Tiger who made money for Ji Wuye."

"Therefore, only when he dies, and Ji Wuye loses someone who can make money for him, will I have the opportunity to go further and take his place."

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Ru Shuang also understood the reason for the matter.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Once upon a time, the man before me was just an ordinary villager from the mountains.

But now, the other party has begun to change.

All these changes stemmed from the fact that the other person encountered them.

Ru Shuang wasn't sure if this change was good or bad, but now, she and Jiang Chuan were in a life-or-death relationship.

Jiang Chuan has a request, and she will certainly do her best to fulfill it.

The next day.

Ru Shuang donned her long-sealed metal armor, took out the renowned sword "Jing Ni" from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), and finally put on her silver-white mask before heading out.

During the fierce battle with Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan greatly improved his strength through the process of dual cultivation.

But there was one thing that Ru Shuang didn't tell Jiang Chuan: during that process, she actually perceived the power of heaven and earth more clearly than ever before. After reaching the Grandmaster realm, if she wanted to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm, she needed to understand her own Dao.

See the world, see all living beings, see yourself.

As for her own path, Ru Shuang had long ago gained a clear understanding.

That is "freedom," breaking free from all constraints, seeking true freedom and ease, and allowing myself and my daughter to live a peaceful life, living for ourselves.

However, even if one understands one's own path, becoming a Grandmaster is not so easy.

Understanding one's own path is merely completing the process of "seeing oneself." Beyond that, one also needs to see the world and all living beings.

To understand the universe, to understand the mortal world.

Only in this way can one step into the realm of a Grandmaster.

During her dual cultivation with Jiang Chuan, Ru Shuang gained a clearer understanding of heaven and earth, thus completing the process of seeing heaven and earth.

She has already passed two of the three thresholds before becoming a Grandmaster, and there is only one threshold left.

In other words, she is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

On this day, Jade Tiger was drinking and discussing business with a wealthy merchant in a pavilion.

He claimed to be discussing business, but in reality, he was asking the other party to sell their assets to him at a low price.

Jade Tiger has done this kind of thing quite often over the years.

With Ji Wuye as his backer, he ruthlessly swallowed up the rest of the merchants. It was through this method that he became the biggest merchant in Xinzheng and even the whole of Korea.

Faced with Jade Tiger's aggressive demeanor, the wealthy businessman opposite him looked quite displeased.
