Divine War Pill Emperor

Despite some trouble, Jiang Chen temporarily joined the team.

JinLing explained the situation to Jiang Chen.

”Let’s move out!”

Zhan Yang didn’t seem pleased, but he still called for everyone to set out, heading deeper into Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

To complete their task and retrieve the Moyang Flower, they had to venture deep into Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

JinLing walked alongside Jiang Chen.

After explaining the situation, she asked, ”Jiang Chen, what are you doing all alone in a dangerous place like Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?”

”And with your Cultivation level, you could easily lose your life here.”

She was very direct, but she wasn’t wrong—the dangers of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were well known.

Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’This woman is certainly frank,’ he thought.

”I’m looking for some materials.”

”I know it’s dangerous, but it should be fine if I’m careful.”

As he spoke, he also thought about the group’s objective.

He asked casually, ”What about you?”

JinLing smiled.

She seemed very approachable, yet she was also competent and decisive.

”It’s no secret. Our Warring States Mercenary Corps accepted a task to pick a Moyang Flower.”

”Once we complete this, the Warring States Mercenary Corps will be promoted to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps.”

She said, her voice full of excitement.

Zhan Yang, however, was displeased with his gossipy sister.

He shot her a glare but didn’t stop her.

He let her tell Jiang Chen every last detail about their team’s business.

Realization dawned on Jiang Chen.

So, the Warring States Mercenary Corps was a Two-Star Mercenary Corps. To get promoted to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps, they needed to complete ten Two-Star Tasks.

They had already completed nine Two-Star Tasks, and this was their tenth.

To pick a Moyang Flower.

If they succeeded and reported their completion at the Mercenary Castle, they would have their ten Two-Star Tasks, and the Warring States Mercenary Corps could be promoted to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps.

A Three-Star Mercenary Corps would naturally have the right to accept Three-Star Tasks, which offered higher commissions than Two-Star Tasks.

Having understood all this, Jiang Chen asked, ”Where did you guys come from?”

Without hesitation, JinLing said, ”We’re from Gambling City. If it weren’t for the Moyang Flower, we probably wouldn’t have come here.”

”What about you?”

”Me? Hanwu City.”

Jiang Chen chatted with JinLing. She was a very frank woman.

She never hid anything and always spoke with tact.

But when he saw the wound on her leg from a Black Ghost Ant bite, he couldn’t help but ask, ”Your leg is injured. Why haven’t you treated it?”

He had experienced it himself; a bite from a Black Ghost Ant caused muscle paralysis.

JinLing didn’t seem too affected, but Jiang Chen could tell she was gritting her teeth and enduring the pain.

Although a wound from a Black Ghost Ant bite would heal over time, the victim would definitely suffer in the meantime.

The other three members also seemed to have various injuries.

They just weren’t severe enough to impede their movement.

JinLing sounded helpless. ”We didn’t bring any Antitoxic Pills.”

”It’s fine. It doesn’t affect me much and will heal in two or three days.”

She said it nonchalantly.

But Jiang Chen noticed that the others looked just as helpless.

’This doesn’t seem like a well-equipped Mercenary Team. A well-equipped Mercenary Team would definitely prepare an ample supply of Healing Elixirs, and even Antitoxic Elixirs. Those are essential when undertaking tasks in the wild. But they have none.’

Finally, after a moment of silence, Jiang Chen suddenly said, ”I have some Antitoxic Elixirs here. If you don’t mind, you can use them to treat your injuries.”

As he spoke, he took out four dark-looking Antitoxic Pills.

After all, he had just met them, so he didn’t dare to take out any high-quality Elixirs.

He was carrying some low-quality Elixirs he had taken from the Jiang Family.

They would be perfect for this.

Since he was traveling with them, he didn’t want the four of them to slow him down.

So he generously took out his Elixirs.

’In his eyes, these Elixirs weren’t worth much anyway.’

”Ah....”

JinLing’s mouth fell open in astonishment.

She stared in shock at the four Antitoxic Pills Jiang Chen had produced.

She recognized them. She had suggested her brother buy some before, but for some reason, he hadn’t.

Now that they truly needed them, she regretted not buying any.

And now Jiang Chen, someone she had known for less than an hour, was offering them Antitoxic Pills of his own accord.

The gesture deeply moved her.

”You... you’re really giving them to us?”

she asked, still a bit cautious.

After all, a single Antitoxic Pill cost dozens of yuan crystals. She even glanced at the pills in Jiang Chen’s hand; their quality was relatively high for Black Iron Quality.

They had to be worth at least two or three hundred yuan crystals each.

All four together would be over a thousand yuan crystals—an extremely valuable sum.

Even Zhan Yang, Lu Beifeng, and Niu Tuo, who were walking ahead, all turned around the moment they heard Jiang Chen offer the Antitoxic Pills.

They saw that Jiang Chen had indeed taken out four Antitoxic Pills.

Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng swallowed hard.

It was clear they were desperate for the Antitoxic Pills.

They had all been bitten by Black Ghost Ants, and the numbing itch all over their bodies was excruciatingly uncomfortable.

While it didn’t severely affect their movement, it was definitely unpleasant.

But they still had to wait for Zhan Yang’s decision.

However, the hopeful look in their eyes clearly revealed their longing for the Antitoxic Pills.

Zhan Yang was also shocked.

He never expected Jiang Chen to produce four Antitoxic Pills just like that.

’They’re too important for us.’

But he was a man who cared deeply about his pride. He forced himself to turn away, too proud to look at Jiang Chen.

Only JinLing remained, staring eagerly at the Antitoxic Pills in Jiang Chen’s hands.

She knew all four of them needed the pills.

She even had to think on her brother’s behalf, because she knew he was the type to let his pride get in the way.

And now, Jiang Chen was offering them these four precious Antitoxic Pills.

She found it hard to believe.

”Of course. I just happened to have some with me.”

”Here, take them.”

Jiang Chen took JinLing’s hand and pressed the four Antitoxic Pills into her palm.

He had a good impression of this woman named JinLing.

After all, she didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives.

She was very sincere.

JinLing clutched the Antitoxic Pills tightly and gave Jiang Chen a deep bow.

”Jiang Chen, thank you.”

”I never thought... you’d be our saving grace.”

Previously, she hadn’t thought Jiang Chen could be of much help, other than completing the Five-Heart Array.

But now, she saw that Jiang Chen had solved a major problem for them in such a short time.

”It’s nothing. We’re all in this together, so it’s only right that we look out for each other.”

Jiang Chen said humbly.

At that moment, JinLing was incredibly grateful to Jiang Chen.

Without further pleasantries, she took the Antitoxic Pills and quickly trotted over to Zhan Yang, Lu Beifeng, and Niu Tuo.

She said excitedly, ”Brother, these are the Antitoxic Pills Jiang Chen gave us.”

She was exceptionally excited and didn’t overthink it.

But Zhan Yang said, ”We can’t just take things from others.”

”Give them back.”
