Chapter 2507: Chapter 2510: Jiang Chen Is a Walking Fortune

Jiang Chen’s explanation was understood by everyone present.

Everyone present knew of Jiang Chen’s extraordinary nature; he must have cultivated extraordinary techniques.

However, no one questioned him about it, as each person’s cultivation technique is considered a cultivator’s secret, even though some people’s techniques are bestowed by their families or are rewards from their sects or academies, known to many.

But the cultivation technique Jiang Chen practiced had always been a mystery. Since he didn’t speak of it, no one asked.

"Alright, Brother Jiang, thank you!"

Pang Guang didn’t hesitate this time and reached out to take the pseudo-dao fruit.

A regular pseudo-dao fruit auctioned here likely wouldn’t result in a loss. The various forces coming to this abandoned plain usually bring along things to buy or trade for desired items at the trading town.

Stowing away the pseudo-dao fruit, Pang Guang earnestly looked at Jiang Chen: "Brother Jiang, do you need anything? If I have it here, I’ll reserve it for you. If not, we can emphasize it during the auction."

"Is that possible?"

Jiang Chen’s eyes glimmered instantly with a hint of delight: "I need the eighth-grade spiritual herb Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng, along with a massive quantity of Thunder Path Necro Spheres!"

"Eighth-grade spiritual herb Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng!?"

Pang Guang looked at Jiang Chen with astonishment.

"Jiang Chen, what do you need Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng for? It’s the main ingredient for crafting the Saint Source Pill!"

Su Qingluan looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

"I want to gather the ingredients for crafting the Saint Source Pill. My master suffered a century-long setback in cultivation due to primordial spirit injuries and has now recovered to the Integration Realm Peak, but breaking through the Saint Realm might still take a long time."

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly as he spoke: "If it weren’t for what happened back then, he might already be a Saint by now. Knowing that old man, though he never admits it, he probably feels somewhat regretful in his heart, so I want to gather the ingredients for the Saint Source Pill as a gift for my master!"

"You..."

"This..."

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen with complex expressions, deeply moved by Jiang Chen’s filial piety.

Sigh!

Su Qingluan exhaled long and remarked: "Elder Jiu is truly fortunate to have a disciple like you... No wonder Elder Jiu is so fond of you. If I had a disciple as considerate as you, I’d hold him dear to my heart."

At these words, Liu Mei’s expression changed slightly, but she showed no sign of discontent; even she was filled with admiration for Jiang Chen for what he had done for Hu Yiqiu.

"Brother Jiang, crafting the Saint Source Pill requires a vast amount of materials. Just the eighth-grade spiritual herbs and fruits alone require seven types, all exceedingly rare. Are you sure you only need Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng?"

Pang Guang asked solemnly.

"Yes! That’s the only thing I need; preparing a single batch for the old man is enough. I don’t have the capacity to prepare multiple batches."

Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

"A single batch!?"

"You’ve almost gathered a complete set!?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief, as if gazing at a marvel.

"Goodness, you’ve only got one Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng left to complete the ingredients for crafting a Saint Source Pill?!"

Zhuo Bufan looked at Jiang Chen in shock, filled with envy: "You fellow, are you really that wealthy? This is something even the Inner Court struggles to assemble; I feel like robbing you!"

"Senior Zhuo, if you want to rob me, let’s talk once we’re out of the abandoned plain. Here, who robs whom is still uncertain!"

Jiang Chen chuckled as he spoke.

Zhuo Bufan hesitated at these words, his eyes showing stubbornness, about to retort. However, recalling that Jiang Chen had severed a Semi-Saint strongman Qi Shan’s limb, he swallowed his rebuttal.

In this abandoned plain, he wasn’t entirely confident he could defeat Jiang Chen. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"How did you manage to gather the rest?"

Zhuo Bufan was nearly in disbelief; as Pang Guang mentioned, the main ingredients for crafting the Saint Source Pill were exceptionally rare. Even Changling Academy’s Inner Court struggled to gather a single batch, yet Jiang Chen managed by himself and only needed one more Xuan Yuan Spiritual Herb to complete it—indeed surprising.

Everyone stared at Jiang Chen, eyes filled with curiosity.

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly: "Actually, gathering the ingredients for crafting the Saint Source Pill was somewhat coincidental. Back when Changlin Academy was attacked, I used the academy’s Protecting Institute Great Formation to slay a strongman at Integration Realm Peak, who was collecting ingredients for crafting the Saint Source Pill."

"Later, during the Mingqian Realm competition, Princess Chang rewarded me with a collection from a great family, though I gave those items to the academy; I received several herbs from Sword Master."

"Recently, didn’t I sever Qi Shan’s arm? His space ring was on that hand; after erasing his mark, I found he was also collecting ingredients for crafting the Saint Source Pill. Here and there, observing the situation, I’m just one herb short of completing a batch!"

Everyone finally understood upon hearing this.

Jiang Chen had obtained from an Integration Realm Peak strongman, who was collecting ingredients, the first benefactor of the Domain Lord’s Mansion, a top family in the outer ring realm, a family of Inner Ring Twelve Sect Spirit Sword Sect’s Third Elder, and a Semi-Saint strongman who was collecting ingredients for crafting the Saint Source Pill.

With so many serendipitous encounters coming together, managing to gather everything but one Xuan Yuan Spiritual Ginseng for the Saint Source Pill isn’t unreasonable.

"By the way, I also have some Earth Rank basic and intermediate combat skill techniques and a few spiritual treasures and divine weapon artifacts. Everyone, see if there’s anything you can use; don’t be shy if it can be useful."

Speaking of Qi Shan’s storage ring, Jiang Chen suddenly recalled items inside that could enhance everyone’s strength, taking them out from the space ring:

"Being able to face off those Six Major Forces with us means you don’t see us brothers as outsiders, so no need for pretentious courtesy. If something can’t be used, Pang Guang can take them for auction!"

"Here are some elixirs, divide among yourselves for use during battles."

With these words, nearly ten jade slips, several dozen weapons, and dozens of jade vials appeared in the room.

Most of these items were from Qi Shan’s space ring, with some elixirs crafted by Jiang Chen himself.

Everyone hesitated momentarily but quickly took without reservation. Jiang Chen had already said as much; further politeness would be insincere.

However, everyone chose prudentially, selecting what suited them and then dividing up the elixirs.

"Pang Guang, take the rest to auction!"

Glancing at the remaining jade slips and weapons, Jiang Chen turned to Pang Guang.

"Why do I suddenly feel like I’ve encountered a wealthy magnate?"

Pang Guang laughed and looked at Jiang Chen, gathering the items on the ground.

"Haha!"

"Haha..."

"Jiang Chen is certainly a magnate!"

Everyone burst into laughter.
