"There."

Jiang Chen released his hand.

It was as if he had just done something trivial.

As for Jiang Zuo, he was completely stunned.

Everything that had just happened felt like a scene from a dream—it was so unreal.

It was surreal, like a dream.

He stared blankly at his own arm.

"This..."

"It’s unbelievable."

His broken arm was now perfectly intact, without a single injury.

And Jiang Chen had accomplished this recovery in only two hours.

Normally, an injury like a broken bone would take several months to heal.

And although Martial Cultivators healed faster than ordinary people due to their stronger physiques,

even they were nowhere near capable of recovering in a matter of hours.

Jiang Zuo was flabbergasted.

In all his seventeen or eighteen years of life, he had never encountered something so bizarre.

’It’s really healed.’

He repeatedly touched his arm. Not only was it fully recovered, but it was also smoother than before.

It seemed he still couldn’t quite believe it.

Jiang Zuo first cautiously wiggled his hand. There was no pain at all.

’What a relief.’

Then, he slowly increased the force.

Finally, he realized there was no pain whatsoever. It was a complete and total recovery.

"Whoa..."

Finally, Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but cry out in astonishment.

"Big Bro, I’m healed! Heavens, I’m really healed!"

"This is just too miraculous."

His jaw dropped, and he couldn’t close his mouth.

He was just that shocked.

After all, for someone who had been preparing to spend a month recuperating, to have his injury healed in two hours...

How could he possibly remain calm?

Jiang Chen observed all of this without the slightest change in his expression.

He had long understood the wonders of Spirit Art.

In fact, he was already used to it.

He waved a hand at Jiang Zuo and said, "Don’t tell anyone what happened here, not even your parents. Understand?"

He didn’t want any extra trouble. If everyone with an injury came looking for him to be healed, he wouldn’t have that much free time.

So, he wanted as few people as possible to know.

"Big Bro, I know. I definitely won’t tell anyone."

Jiang Zuo readily agreed, but the shock in his heart still hadn’t subsided.

Looking back, he saw that the plants in the surrounding garden had suddenly grown much taller in just two hours, their Life Force more vigorous than before.

He swallowed hard.

Understanding that this was Jiang Chen’s secret, he naturally didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Moreover, in his heart, he was now in complete awe of his Big Bro Jiang Chen, seeing him as a god-like figure.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied that Jiang Zuo had recovered.

He said to Jiang Zuo, "Jiang Zuo, I have a task for you."

"I need you to handle it for me."

Hearing this, the current Jiang Zuo didn’t hesitate in the slightest. Never mind one task from Jiang Chen; he would have agreed without a second thought even if it were ten.

He puffed out his chest and declared loudly, "Big Bro, what’s the task? Just say the word, and I guarantee I’ll complete it."

"I’d climb a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of fire without hesitation."

He spoke with such bravado entirely because he had been awed by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen clapped Jiang Zuo on the shoulder.

He shook his head. "It’s not as serious as you’re making it sound."

"I need you to go out and gather some information on the Ximen Family."

"Anything related to the Ximen Family, no matter what it is, bring it back to me."

This Jiang Zuo had been an unruly person before, making quite a few bad-news friends in Hanwu City.

This was precisely why Jiang Chen had healed Jiang Zuo.

He didn’t want to attract the family’s attention, so he tasked Jiang Zuo with the job.

He believed that after this series of events, Jiang Zuo would definitely not act recklessly.

He would be completely obedient to him.

"Hehe, just that? That’s what I’m best at."

"Big Bro, leave it to me. Don’t worry."

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo was overjoyed.

He was now desperate to prove himself to Jiang Chen.

Gathering information, especially, was a piece of cake for him.

He guaranteed it with a firm nod.

"Good. Go now. Come back and tell me as soon as you have news."

Jiang Chen’s killing intent toward the Ximen Family surged.

He had almost been killed by Ximen Gong before. He was lucky to have survived; otherwise, he would have long been dead.

He walked out of the garden with Jiang Zuo and saw Jiang Men waiting outside.

When Jiang Men saw that his son’s arm was healed, 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

he looked as if he’d seen a ghost.

"How is that possible?"

His mind reeled in shock as he looked at Jiang Chen in horror.

Obviously, this was Jiang Chen’s doing.

Jiang Chen said to Jiang Men, "Second Uncle, please keep this a secret for me."

Jiang Men was stunned. The Jiang Chen of today was exceedingly mysterious and unfathomable.

His Cultivation was also far higher than that of the previous, profligate version of Jiang Chen.

Warrior Second Heaven, far above his son’s level.

No wonder his son had lost.

He could see that the current Jiang Chen was shrouded in endless mystery.

And now that he had healed his son, he was even more grateful.

He said hurriedly, "Xiaochen, don’t you worry. Your Second Uncle here is very tight-lipped."

Afterward, Jiang Men watched as Jiang Chen and Jiang Zuo walked away.

He stood there, completely dumbfounded.

’Why did this kid get stronger after having his Martial Vein dug out?’

’He doesn’t seem like he’s lost his Martial Vein at all.’

’And this miraculous healing ability... I’ve never heard of such a thing.’

’This fellow... I fear he’ll become an extremely dangerous person in the future.’

He felt a lingering fear. It was a good thing he hadn’t tried anything reckless; otherwise, he felt he would have been killed by this nephew of his.

Jiang Chen returned to his courtyard alone.

He then quietly resumed his Cultivation of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, Visualizing the Vermilion Bird to condense the Vermilion Bird Seal.

For the time being, he held off on Alchemy, waiting for news from Jiang Zuo.

As for Jiang Zuo, he was truly an expert at gathering information.

His efficiency was also very high.

Around afternoon, Jiang Zuo appeared in Jiang Chen’s courtyard.

"Big Bro, I’ll tell you the news I’ve gathered so far."

He was extremely excited, as if he had just accomplished something monumental.

He was eager to show off in front of Jiang Chen.

He immediately launched into a torrent of information about the Ximen Family.

"After that Ximen Gong escaped, he was seriously injured and has already gone into seclusion."

"Oh, right! And Big Bro, I almost forgot."

"That bastard, Ximen Jianren. After you broke all his limbs, he’s been bedridden and can’t get up. Now the Ximen Family is searching all over for an Elixir called the Golden Healing Pill."

"They’re offering a hundred thousand for a single Golden Healing Pill. Tsk tsk, the Ximen Family is really willing to spend money on that cripple."

Jiang Zuo was amazed. The Ximen Family was really going all out for Ximen Jianren.

Jiang Chen had no interest in the other news.

But when he heard that the Ximen Family was searching for a Golden Healing Pill for Ximen Jianren, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Like stars flashing in the night sky.

A sharp glint shot from them.

’Golden Healing Pill, hm?’

he muttered to himself.

"Very good. You can go back for now. Come find me tomorrow morning. I’ll have another job for you."

A plan had already formed in Jiang Chen’s mind.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was satisfied, Jiang Zuo left cheerfully.

As for Jiang Chen, he sat in the courtyard.

The corners of his mouth lifted into a slight curve.

His eyes were incomparably cold.

"Ximen Family, I’m going to give you a huge surprise."

"I hope you like it."
