Divine War Pill Emperor
Chapter 47: Big Trouble
"I was the one who gave you the Golden Healing Pill for your son."
The Jiang Family were still a bit confused by Jiang Chen’s words.
But they all knew that the Golden Healing Pill was a Holy Medicine for healing.
They were completely bewildered. After all, where would Jiang Chen get a Golden Healing Pill?
The Jiang Family certainly didn’t have any.
Besides, wasn’t it said that Ximen Gong’s son, Ximen Jianren, had died?
"What?"
At first, Ximen Gong couldn’t quite process it, but then, he understood instantly.
His eyes suddenly shot wide open.
His eyes blazed with fire.
"It was you?"
"It was actually you?"
Hearing that the Golden Healing Pill came from Jiang Chen, he trembled all over with rage.
In other words, Jiang Chen had plotted to poison his son, and he himself had personally fed the Golden Healing Pill to him.
His body quivering, he pointed at Jiang Chen.
He felt this person was utterly vicious, making his chest tighten. He pointed at Jiang Chen, unable to speak.
But Jiang Chen sneered, "How does it feel? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment, having poisoned your own son with your own hands?"
"You killed your own son."
A chill ran through Ximen Gong’s entire body.
Endless regret welled up in his heart.
Jiang Chen’s words shattered his spirit, one by one.
"You..."
He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with fury.
THUD!
Finally, trembling, he fainted.
He had been angered by Jiang Chen to the point of passing out.
"Patriarch."
"Patriarch Ximen."
Seeing this, the members of the Ximen Family were all aghast.
They rushed to help Ximen Gong up, but he had lost consciousness.
Even Ling Xuan, who had just left the Jiang Family, let out a cry of alarm.
He even felt a little uneasy inside.
He finally understood. Not only had Jiang Chen broken Ximen Jianren’s limbs, but he had now directly poisoned him to death—and the poison had been personally administered by Ximen Gong to his own son.
When he looked at Jiang Chen, he felt a chill run down his spine. This boy was too vicious.
Just moments ago, he had been verbally driven out of the Jiang Family by this boy, and now, in the blink of an eye, the boy had poisoned Ximen Gong’s son to death.
’How terrifying.’
He hurriedly followed the Ximen Family members, fleeing in disarray.
Jiang Han stopped the clan members who wanted to give chase.
"Enough. Let them leave."
Right now, although the Ximen Family is in disarray, they are all Ximen Jiai experts. A fight would indeed be unwise.
Besides, Jiang Han had many questions he wanted to ask his son.
The other Jiang Family members all stared at Jiang Chen as if they were seeing a ghost.
Ximen Jianren was dead, poisoned by Jiang Chen.
First, Jiang Chen had broken Ximen Jianren’s limbs. This guy... he was truly unbelievable.
"Back to the main hall."
"Son, you come too."
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Han led the Jiang Family back to the Jiang Family’s clan hall.
No one could sit still; they all looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity.
Finally, someone couldn’t resist asking, "Jiang Chen, are you sure it was you who killed Ximen Gong’s son, Ximen Jianren?"
"Is this true or not?"
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean *I* killed him? I just gave Ximen Gong a Golden Healing Pill with a bit of poison inside."
"As for the Golden Healing Pill, Ximen Gong fed it to his son himself. So, I didn’t kill him."
He said, with great innocence.
The Jiang Family members didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"How is that not you killing him?"
"What’s the difference between that and you killing him?"
Suddenly, someone else chimed in with another question.
"Right, where did you get the Golden Healing Pill?"
"That Golden Healing Pill is a Holy Medicine for healing. You can’t even find one in Hanwu City. Where did you get it?"
Everyone knew that the Jiang Family definitely did not possess any Golden Healing Pills.
Jiang Han also understood. His son was truly impossible to figure out.
’Could it be that mysterious master of his?’
Jiang Chen had told them before that he had a mysterious master who taught him a great deal. They had even cultivated the Spirit Art he provided, and its effects were miraculous—its healing properties were even better than Elixirs.
Now, he also asked, "Son, where did you get the Golden Healing Pill?"
Jiang Chen grinned. "Dad, my master left it for me."
"But I’ve given it to the Ximen Family now. What a waste."
The Jiang Family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
Quite a few people already knew that Jiang Chen had a mysterious master.
Previously, his Martial Vein had been dug out, yet it had recovered completely. He was nearly hacked to death by Ximen Gong’s sword, yet he miraculously recovered in just two short days.
Now, it was even better—he even had Elixirs like the Golden Healing Pill.
It was simply enviable to no end. Having such a powerful and mysterious master was truly a blessing.
The crowd had no doubt about Jiang Chen’s words.
After a wry smile, Jiang Han suddenly said to Jiang Chen, "Son, now that you’ve poisoned Ximen Gong’s son, they will definitely come looking for trouble."
"You shouldn’t go out for a while."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"I know."
The Ximen Gong of today has probably gone mad, biting anyone he can like a rabid dog.
Jiang Chen’s current Cultivation was only at the Second Realm of Martial Artist, so he did indeed need to avoid him for now.
After this was said, the Jiang Family once again fell into silence.
Moreover, the atmosphere grew heavy.
Finally, it was Jiang Men who spoke.
He looked at Jiang Han and asked helplessly, "Big Brother, now that Ling Xuan has left, our Jiang Family has lost its Alchemist."
"We can’t continue the Elixir business. What is the Jiang Family going to do?"
This was the critical issue.
Without an Alchemist, their economic pillar was gone. The Jiang Family would be finished.
They all knew this.
That was why they had tried so desperately to keep Ling Xuan.
But now Ling Xuan was gone, and the Jiang Family was in deep trouble.
One by one, the clan members looked to Jiang Han, hoping he could come up with a plan.
"Patriarch, this concerns the future of our Jiang Family."
"We must think of something."
Jiang Han’s expression was grave, and a fine sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He was truly starting to panic.
The Elixir business was a matter of survival for the Jiang Family.
He took a deep breath.
And said, "Then we must quickly find a way to hire a new Alchemist."
"The Jiang Family cannot be without an Alchemist."
A clan member in charge of the family business added, "Based on the current situation, with Ling Xuan gone, our inventory will only last for ten days."
"If we can’t find another Alchemist within ten days, the Jiang Family will run out of supplies."
"I don’t need to state the consequences. Everyone should understand."
Instantly, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone felt their heads buzzing.
They were all trying to think of a solution, but Alchemists were not so easy to hire.
"Hiring an Alchemist within ten days is impossible."
"That’s right. There are only a few Alchemists in Hanwu City, and they’ve all been hired by the other major powers."
"As for those outside Hanwu City, it’s not our turn to hire them. They would have already been snatched up by the major powers."
Jiang Han felt even more bitter.
He sat silently in his chair, feeling powerless. He had no solution either.
The severity of the situation had far exceeded his expectations.
Just then, a clan member suddenly ran in, frantic with panic.
"It’s bad! Clan Leader, something terrible has happened!"
Everyone turned to look at the clan member.
Jiang Han also had a bad premonition.
He barked, "Speak quickly, what is it?"
