Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen was surprised to hear that the treasure Murong Xiangming mentioned was actually the Lin Family’s secret manual, the Ten Directions Calculation.

Since last night, Lin Yuan and Lev had made the matter of the Lin Family’s Ten Directions Calculation completely public, and now everyone knew about it.

And now, Murong Xiangming had come to him for the very same thing.

Jiang Chen was already somewhat interested in the Ten Directions Calculation. He always had a feeling there was more to it than met the eye.

And as it turned out, he was right. Even Murong Xiangming was tempted by it.

He fell silent for a moment, contemplating the matter of the Ten Directions Calculation.

If he went to Boluo Tomb, he would have to postpone his revenge on Wen Shixi, which would definitely cause a delay.

Murong Xiangming gracefully tucked a strand of her flowing long hair, and a faint, sweet fragrance wafted into Jiang Chen’s nostrils.

The delicate scent was indeed quite captivating.

”Jiang Chen, you can deal with Wen Shixi after we get back.”

”I know Wen Shiren. I can introduce you to him.”

”For now, you should just consider whether or not you’ll go to Boluo Tomb.”

”Though I must say, I’m very much looking forward to traveling with you.”

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Jiang Chen thought about it and felt she had a point.

’Revenge doesn’t have to be immediate. Besides, it would be to my advantage to be fully prepared before seeking it.’

If this so-called Ten Directions Calculation could help him, that would be even better.

He made his decision on the spot.

”Alright. In that case, I’ll go with you to Boluo Tomb.”

In the end, he had decided to go to Boluo Tomb.

Since Lin Yuan had already made it public, there was no reason not to go.

If he didn’t go, others would.

Besides, Jiang Chen himself felt that this Ten Directions Calculation was very important for him.

”I knew you would go.”

”Jiang Chen, I won’t stay any longer. Let’s meet at the south gate of Gambling City tomorrow morning.”

With that, Murong Xiangming said no more and rose to her feet to leave.

”Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Jiang Chen stood up and saw Murong Xiangming out of the manor.

The two said their goodbyes, having agreed to meet the next day.

Although Lin Ying had already gone to Boluo Tomb, the Lin Family’s secret manual would certainly not be so easy to obtain.

Many others were now heading there to hunt for treasure as well.

Therefore, it didn’t seem to matter much if Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming went a little later.

After Murong Xiangming left, Zhan Yang and the others crowded around.

Zhan Yang asked with a grin, ”Jiang Chen, you two seemed to hit it off. Who was that young lady? How come we’ve never heard you mention her?”

The others all pricked up their ears to listen.

Seeing their reactions, Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

”Just a friend.”

”But if you really want to know her identity, I don’t mind telling you. She’s the young mistress of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.”

What?

Everyone was instantly stunned.

’She’s actually the young mistress of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion!’

They had previously received courteous treatment from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, who had even arranged a tavern for them, all because Jiang Chen knew this so-called ”young mistress.”

They never expected that the person who came looking for Jiang Chen was truly the young mistress of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion herself.

”Jiang Chen, you’re incredible! You even had the young mistress of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion come to see you personally.”

”Impressive, truly impressive.”

Lin Yuan was young, and his words were sincere and simple.

”Brother Jiang Chen, that big sister is a good match for you.”

”When did you become such a grown-up, you little brat?”

Jiang Chen scolded him with a laugh.

Lin Yuan stuck out his tongue.

Only JinLing seemed hesitant, hemming and hawing.

Finally, she managed to say, ”Jiang Chen, you seem to have a good relationship with that young mistress from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.”

”Have you known each other for a long time?”

Jiang Chen nodded. ”Yes, we’ve known each other since my time in Hanwu City.”

A shadow passed over JinLing’s eyes.

But she secretly grit her teeth and said to Jiang Chen, ”Jiang Chen, can you take a walk with me?”

The manor grounds were vast, after all.

JinLing was inviting Jiang Chen for a stroll.

Jiang Chen couldn’t find a way to refuse.

He knew that JinLing had some feelings for him.

Alone with Jiang Chen, JinLing was a bit shy. The once-playful girl now seemed reserved.

”Jiang Chen, do you think... I’m pretty?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

’This is a headache,’ Jiang Chen thought.

Still, he answered truthfully, ”You are very pretty, and very cute.”

JinLing was clearly not satisfied with this answer and pressed on, ”Then who do you think is prettier, me or Murong Xiangming?”

This question truly stumped even a great expert like Jiang Chen.

’This might be the most difficult question in the world to answer.’

He finally said in a deep voice, ”You are both very beautiful.”

JinLing bit her lip, dissatisfied with his answer.

Her gaze fixed on Jiang Chen, burning with intensity.

In the end, however, she just sighed.

”Forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

”Just... walk with me for a bit longer.”

Jiang Chen didn’t say anything more. He already had the Orchid Fairy, and when it came to matters of the heart, he was very loyal.

Moreover, having been reborn, he had a much broader perspective on many things.

Returning to his quarters, Jiang Chen packed a few things.

He then gathered Zhan Yang and the others.

”Zhan Yang, I’m going out for a while to take care of something.”

”It might be some time before I return.”

Since he was leaving, he naturally had to inform Zhan Yang and the others.

After all, he was still technically a member of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, so it was necessary to let them know his whereabouts.

Of course, he didn’t mention he was going to the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

”I see. Well, go on and do what you need to do.”

Zhan Yang naturally understood that Jiang Chen was different from them.

Jiang Chen had only joined the Warring States Mercenary Corps temporarily. In terms of sheer power, it would be very difficult for a Mercenary Team like theirs to recruit an expert of his caliber.

Jiang Chen instructed, ”If you take on any missions, don’t accept any that are too difficult.”

”Prioritize your safety above all else.”

During this time, Jiang Chen had also faintly sensed that Zhan Yang and his group’s goal wasn’t just to take on missions. They definitely had some secret they weren’t talking about.

Zhan Yang’s Cultivation wasn’t the highest in the Warring States Mercenary Corps, yet he could make experts like Lu Beifeng and Niu Tuo willingly serve as his subordinates. That was unusual.

Of course, Jiang Chen wasn’t going to press them for details.

He had indeed only joined the Warring States Mercenary Corps temporarily and believed he would surely be leaving before long.

Zhan Yang and the others surely understood this as well.

”I understand.”

None of them asked where Jiang Chen was going.

The next day, Jiang Chen rose just as the sky began to brighten. Without saying goodbye to anyone else, he left the manor. Outside the south gate of Gambling City, Jiang Chen stood by the side of the main road, waiting for Murong Xiangming.

He noticed a steady stream of Martial Cultivators leaving Gambling City in groups.

He knew that the news of the Lin Family Secret Manual had drawn many experts to make the journey.

He waited for about a quarter of an hour.

Then, a figure in white slowly emerged from the city gate.

Even from a distance, Jiang Chen recognized her as Murong Xiangming.

”Hey, are you waiting for me?”

Murong Xiangming’s face broke into a smile the moment she saw Jiang Chen.

She then quickened her pace and walked up to him.

”Let’s set off.”

Jiang Chen greeted her as well.

Without any more idle chatter, they set off immediately.

A flash of light appeared in Murong Xiangming’s hand, and she handed a map to Jiang Chen.

”This is a map of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb. Take a look.”

Murong Xiangming had come fully prepared; she had even obtained a map of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

In fact, most people were not very clear on the exact location of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

Yet Murong Xiangming had already managed to get her hands on an accurate map.

Her efficiency was truly remarkable.
