Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Astonishing Changes

He had already refined ten Martial King Pills, enough to create ten Martial King Experts.

The materials in Jiang Chen’s hands were enough to refine a total of sixty pills.

Since this was his first time refining them in this lifetime, he had been afraid of failure and hadn’t dared to attempt more.

But now that he had succeeded, Jiang Chen was much more confident.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he resumed his Alchemy.

After three full days, Jiang Chen had refined all sixty Martial King Pills.

’Heh, sixty pills. This is enough to make the Jiang Family’s defenses impregnable.’

’For now, this is the most I can do for the Jiang Family.’

Jiang Chen clasped his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

He now possessed a full sixty Martial King Pills.

Enough to create sixty Martial King Experts.

Sixty Martial King Experts would be a terrifying force anywhere.

He was currently unable to refine any higher-grade Elixirs.

With that, Jiang Chen walked out of the room.

He stretched lazily in the fresh air.

"Young Master, you haven’t left your room in three days and three nights! I made you some porridge. Please have some."

Liang Yiyi immediately ran over, acting just as she always had.

It was as if she had already forgotten about the night the Bai Family was massacred.

"Alright."

Jiang Chen nodded at Yiyi. The porridge she made was truly delicious.

He downed two bowls in one go.

"Yiyi, thank you."

Jiang Chen reached out and quite naturally stroked Liang Yiyi’s slender, fair, and lovely left hand.

Liang Yiyi snatched her hand back as if she’d been zapped. Her face instantly flushed red as she looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of playful reproach.

"It’s what I should be doing."

Seeing Liang Yiyi blush only made her seem more adorable to Jiang Chen.

He laughed.

Then he stood up and left.

’He’s so annoying, teasing me on purpose.’

Liang Yiyi stuck her tongue out at Jiang Chen’s retreating back, but her heart felt as sweet as honey.

In the open area of the Hall of Death Warriors, Jiang Chen stood with his father, Jiang Han.

Jiang Han looked confused. "Chen’er, what was so urgent that you had to call me over?"

Although Jiang Han was very busy, the moment he heard his son needed him, he dropped everything and rushed over.

Jiang Chen held out a black Elixir.

"Father, take a look at this."

Jiang Han took the Elixir from Jiang Chen. The moment he saw it, his jaw dropped in shock.

He gasped in astonishment, "This... Is this a Purple Gold Quality Elixir?"

Jiang Han was, once again, stunned.

He could see a golden halo ringing the black Elixir. But upon closer inspection, he was startled to find a trace of purple-gold light within the golden glow.

This meant that the pill Jiang Chen had given him was of Purple Gold Quality.

The exact same Purple Gold Quality as the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

He was profoundly shaken.

He quickly asked, "Son, what kind of Elixir is this?"

Jiang Han knew a little about Elixirs, but his knowledge was limited.

He had never even seen a Martial King Pill before.

He had only heard of them by reputation.

Jiang Chen didn’t hide the truth, as his father needed to know what he was about to do.

He had already mentioned this to his parents.

He said, "This is a Martial King Pill. My master had someone deliver them to me."

Jiang Chen was already used to trotting out his non-existent master at critical moments.

Sure enough, his father Jiang Han’s jaw dropped again.

"It’s really a Martial King Pill?"

A few days ago, Jiang Chen had mentioned getting Martial King Pills. He hadn’t expected that just a few days later, he would actually have them.

Thinking of the Martial King Pill’s effects, Jiang Han trembled with excitement, his entire body shaking violently.

Jiang Chen nodded. "It’s a real Martial King Pill."

"I wouldn’t joke about something like this."

He glanced at the forty Death Warriors standing before them.

Jiang Chen was filled with anticipation, eager to see the power of the Infinite Sword Array when wielded by forty Martial King Experts.

Clutching the Martial King Pill tightly, Jiang Han was practically buzzing with excitement.

He, too, looked toward the forty Death Warriors.

His voice trembled.

"Son, you’re truly incredible. You’ve contributed more than anyone to the growth and prosperity of the Jiang Family."

’Once these forty Death Warriors become Martial King Experts, the Jiang Family will fear no enemy in Hanwu City... no, in the entire Fire Sparrow Kingdom!’

’They’ll be terrifyingly powerful.’

Jiang Chen shook his head. He had been born into the Jiang Family; this was simply his responsibility.

He took out fifty Martial King Pills and handed them to his father.

"Father, these are for you. Please distribute them."

With a trembling hand, Jiang Han accepted the Martial King Pills from Jiang Chen.

Tears nearly welled up in his eyes.

’The Jiang Family’s transformation is all because of my son,’ he thought.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Jiang Han beamed, clutching the Martial King Pills.

He walked before the forty Death Warriors and announced loudly, "Starting today, you will all take a Martial King Pill."

"The Martial King Pill will allow every one of you to raise your Cultivation to the Martial King Realm in the shortest possible time!"

At that moment, the eyes of all forty Death Warriors burned with a fiery passion.

To be frank, they were Martial Cultivators who had already hit their limits. They would have considered themselves lucky to break through to the Warrior realm in this lifetime.

Now, suddenly faced with an opportunity to become Martial King Experts, their hearts were naturally stirred.

Even for Death Warriors like them.

In fact, it was precisely because they were Death Warriors that they understood better than anyone what immense power represented.

"One for each of you. Pass them out."

Jiang Han had the Pills distributed.

This left him with ten pills.

He planned to keep them in reserve. If any of the Death Warriors were to fall, he could use the remaining Martial King Pills to create new Martial King Experts as replacements.

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

The forty Death Warriors shouted in unison.

Their voices were high and resonant, revealing their excitement.

"After you take the Martial King Pills, resume your drills with the Infinite Sword Array."

Jiang Han already knew that after consuming a Martial King Pill, one didn’t need to actively absorb it; the pill would automatically convert into a Martial Cultivator’s Cultivation Power.

And so, the forty Death Warriors consumed the Martial King Pills at the same time.

All that was left was to wait for the Martial King Pills to take effect.

The change in the forty Death Warriors began on the very first day after they took the pills.

Jiang Han watched as one at the Martial Artist Third Heaven reached the Fourth Heaven in a matter of hours. The speed of their Cultivation increase was terrifying.

Although it wasn’t as rapid as the Bloodthirst Pill...

...this rate of Cultivation improvement was still astounding.

By the fifth day, all the Death Warriors had broken through to the Warrior Cultivation realm.

Watching the Death Warriors break through so quickly, Jiang Han nearly jumped for joy.

"Astounding! Simply astounding!"

He was so excited he could barely think straight.

As the Death Warriors practiced the Infinite Sword Array, its might grew more terrifying with every increase in their Cultivation. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Jiang Han had a feeling that if he were to face the current Infinite Sword Array, he would be killed instantly.

’From now on, no one will be able to shake the Jiang Family’s position.’

Jiang Han was filled with confidence for the Jiang Family’s future.

He wasn’t talking about dominating Hanwu City outright, but at the very least, with forty Death Warriors and the Infinite Sword Array, the Jiang Family’s ability to protect itself was more than guaranteed.

What shocked Jiang Han the most was that as the Death Warriors’ Cultivation advanced, the range of the Infinite Sword Array began to expand continuously.

It even seemed poised to envelop the entirety of Hanwu City.

’The Infinite Sword Array is powerful enough to defend all of Hanwu City.’

However, he still had the Death Warriors suppress the Sword Array’s power so as not to alarm anyone.

The Infinite Sword Array and these Death Warriors were the Jiang Family’s greatest secret.
