After a grueling battle channeling both his Spirit Art and the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, Jiang Chen’s Cultivation finally broke through to the Warrior Seventh Heaven.

HUFF!

He let out a heavy sigh of relief.

His Cultivation had broken through. Although he had consumed a great deal of Cultivation before, the breakthrough immediately replenished it to its peak.

His entire body was brimming with inexhaustible energy.

Next, Jiang Chen dispersed the Spirit Art.

The Life Force of the plants returned to them.

Many of the plants evolved a little once more.

The Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, however, continued to circulate ceaselessly within Jiang Chen’s body.

After all, Jiang Chen had to maintain a state of Cultivation at all times.

The Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique was his foundation.

SWISH!

Jiang Chen opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

Although he was an Alchemist, Jiang Chen had never consumed any of the Cultivation-enhancing Elixirs he refined himself.

There was a reason for this.

For a Martial Cultivator, the period before reaching Martial King Cultivation was a time for laying a solid foundation.

Using external forces to raise one’s Cultivation during this period would lead to an unstable foundation.

An unstable foundation could cause many complications in later stages of Cultivation.

In mild cases, one might suffer from cultivation deviation; in severe cases, one’s Cultivation would stagnate completely.

Therefore, Jiang Chen would never use Elixirs in the early stages.

Even in the later stages, unless he refined an Elixir of exceptionally high quality, he would not rely on an external force like an Elixir to achieve a breakthrough.

Those who used Elixirs to raise their Cultivation generally had limited potential for further advancement.

The more solid the foundation one built in the early stages, the more beneficial it was for later Cultivation.

’I’m not far from the Martial Master Realm.’

Jiang Chen got up, tidied himself up a bit, and walked outside.

CREAK...

He opened the door, and the dazzling sunlight forced him to narrow his eyes.

He had been healing, after all, and three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these three days, his Cultivation had broken through to the Warrior Seventh Heaven. It was a decent gain.

’Who on earth sent those people to hunt me down that day?’

This was a question to which Jiang Chen still had no answer.

But since he hadn’t died, the other party would surely not let the matter rest.

’Heh, no matter who you are, I will hunt you down.’

A cold glint flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

Anyone who wanted to kill him, he would send to hell first.

"Young Master, have your injuries healed?"

Seeing Jiang Chen come out, Liang Yiyi immediately walked over and asked with concern.

At the same time, she looked him up and down, checking on his condition.

Jiang Chen was now dressed in a Black Robe.

He was full of vigor.

"They’ve healed."

Jiang Chen nodded at Liang Yiyi.

He then casually patted Liang Yiyi’s head.

This made Liang Yiyi blush beet red.

"Has anything been happening in the family recently?"

Jiang Chen stretched and asked.

Liang Yiyi nodded earnestly. "No, everything in the clan is fine."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

He looked at Liang Yiyi with some astonishment.

Looking her up and down, he asked in surprise, "When did your Cultivation break through to the Warrior Third Heaven?"

"I remember you only had a Warrior Cultivation two days ago."

He was stunned. How could Liang Yiyi’s Cultivation have improved so much in just three short days?

This wasn’t normal.

Liang Yiyi immediately became excited, her face lighting up as she spoke. "Young Master, it’s all thanks to you! Don’t you know?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He pressed on, "Did you take an Elixir to rapidly raise your Cultivation?"

He had previously warned Liang Yiyi not to casually use Elixirs to increase her Cultivation.

’It seems Liang Yiyi didn’t listen to me and secretly used a Cultivation-enhancing Elixir.’

Liang Yiyi felt wronged.

"No, I didn’t take any Cultivation-enhancing Elixirs."

"You really don’t know?"

She was even more puzzled, having assumed Jiang Chen knew what had happened.

But seeing Jiang Chen shake his head, she finally explained.

"While you were healing, a very dense Life Force appeared here. The plants in the courtyard grew like crazy toward your room."

"I sensed a great opportunity for a breakthrough, so I cultivated Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers. As a result, by borrowing that Life Force, I broke through directly to the Warrior Third Heaven in two days."

She was practically trembling with excitement as she spoke.

After all, breaking through three consecutive levels of Cultivation wasn’t something easily achieved.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen had a sudden realization.

"I understand now. It seems this was your fateful opportunity."

He knew that the Life Force from the plants had taken effect when he was performing his Spirit Art.

With that, he was no longer worried about Liang Yiyi.

Liang Yiyi made him some food. After eating and drinking his fill, he headed outside.

He went to check on his parents.

He found everything was as usual. His mother, Xiao Yun, was still in seclusion, using the Foundation Strengthening Pill to rapidly increase her Cultivation.

Only his father was out and about, handling the family’s affairs every day.

He strolled leisurely around the family estate for a while.

He also checked on the Death Warriors in their secret hall.

The fifty Death Warriors had all made significant progress in their Cultivation.

The Infinite Sword Array was even more powerful.

He believed that before long, once all the Death Warriors broke through to Martial King Cultivation, the Jiang Family would be able to hold its own even against the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

He was confident.

Moreover, he would continue with his Alchemy. If he refined even more powerful Elixirs, he would naturally supply them to the Jiang Family first.

He had to ensure the Jiang Family was well-protected.

’I should go see how Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling are doing with their Alchemy.’

The thought spurred him into action, and Jiang Chen left the Hall of Death Warriors.

He headed toward the hall where Jiang Ling and Jiang Xuan practiced Alchemy.

He strolled along with his hands behind his back.

The Jiang Family’s estate was quite large.

Walking at a leisurely pace, Jiang Chen made his way directly to where Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling practiced Alchemy.

’I’m the President of the Alchemist Guild now. I should find an opportunity to get Jiang Ling and Jiang Xuan into the Alchemist Guild to improve their status and standing.’

Jiang Chen considered the Jiang Family in everything he did.

If both Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling joined the Alchemist Guild, their status would rise. In the future, he might even find a way to make one of them the President of the Alchemist Guild.

He soon arrived at the hall where the two practiced Alchemy.

Jiang Chen saw Jiang Ling busily working by herself.

She was practicing Alchemy with extreme diligence.

She was studying pill recipes and materials.

After watching from a distance for a long time, Jiang Chen still hadn’t seen Jiang Xuan.

"Ahem..."

He coughed deliberately.

Then he walked over.

"Ah, Young Master, you’re here."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Ling looked up and saw it was Jiang Chen. She hurriedly stopped what she was doing and greeted him.

Jiang Chen nodded.

He asked, "What Elixir are you refining?"

Jiang Ling gave a sweet smile.

"I’ve been studying the Second Grade Blood Stopping Pill recently."

Jiang Chen was very pleased. "It seems you’re about to refine a Second-Grade Elixir. Not bad, not bad at all."

Both Jiang Ling and Jiang Xuan were talented in Alchemy, so under his guidance, their progress was remarkably fast.

Jiang Ling said humbly, "That’s only because you’re a good teacher." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Oh, Young Master, I have a few more questions I’d like to ask you."

She then raised the questions she didn’t understand for Jiang Chen to answer.

Jiang Chen gave Jiang Ling serious and pointed advice.

It was a moment of sudden enlightenment for Jiang Ling.

Jiang Chen’s guidance almost always cut straight to the heart of the matter with a single sentence.

After they talked for a while, Jiang Chen asked, "Why don’t I see Jiang Xuan? Where is he?"
