Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen knew that refining Elixirs would take a great deal of time.

But he could just treat it as practice for his Alchemy Skill.

”Store!”

He spoke softly, and with a flick of his Spirit Beast Bag, the Zombie and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf were stored away, leaving him alone in the secret chamber.

With a flash of his hand, Jiang Chen summoned a white fan.

It was the Spirit Treasure Divine Wind Fan.

The Divine Wind Fan was one of Jiang Chen’s more surprising Magical Treasures.

At the same time, a pitch-black coffin materialized above his head.

It was the Spirit Treasure Yang Coffin.

He and Murong Xiangming each possessed one coffin; he had the Yang Coffin, and she had the Yin Coffin.

The two could be combined to form the Yin-Yang Coffin.

Jiang Chen quickly put the Yang Coffin away.

He focused his mind, feeling the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique and the Shadowless Sword Technique circulating within him.

’Oh right, there’s also the Ten Directions Calculation.’

Jiang Chen had recovered his memories of the Ten Directions Calculation from the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

The Ten Directions Calculation was a Secret Technique for divining the will of the heavens.

It was naturally quite miraculous.

He immediately activated the Ten Directions Calculation, his hands forming a strange Technique seal.

’I’ll try to divine whether attacking Wen Shixi would bring fortune or disaster.’

’What are the odds of success?’

As he quietly performed the calculation, an illusory, circular Compass gradually materialized before him.

On the Compass were markings for good fortune, bad fortune, blessings, and calamities.

Its needle began to spin rapidly.

WHIRRRRR...

The needle spun so fast it became a blur of afterimages.

After spinning for a while, the needle abruptly slowed to a stop.

”Ominous. Greatly ominous!”

Jiang Chen’s expression shifted as he looked at the result of the Ten Directions Calculation.

Killing Wen Shixi was actually ominous.

This meant it would be disadvantageous for him.

Still unwilling to accept it, he asked angrily, ”If I try to assassinate him tonight, will it be auspicious or ominous?”

The Compass immediately began to spin again.

”Ominous. Greatly ominous!”

The Compass once again pointed to the ”greatly ominous” position.

Clearly, assassinating Wen Shixi now would be very unfavorable for him.

He might even risk death.

”Damn it. Is one Wen Shixi really that hard to deal with?”

Jiang Chen’s expression was incredibly dark. He was irritated that the result was ”greatly ominous” twice in a row.

Finally, with a thought, he stopped the Ten Directions Calculation.

He took another moment to compose himself before stopping completely.

Once he was ready, Jiang Chen left the secret chamber.

’I can’t act too hastily.’

「Meanwhile, at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.」

A lavishly dressed man sat across from Murong Xiangming.

The man cupped his hands in a salute to Murong Xiangming and said, ”Miss Murong, I need your help.”

Murong Xiangming looked at the man before her and smiled faintly.

”Does the great Third Prince truly need help from a humble woman like me?”

That’s right, the man before her was none other than the Third Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, Wen Shiren.

Wen Shiren had come on his own initiative this time.

Wen Shiren had always maintained an amicable relationship with the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

He had also been consistently trying to win them over to his side.

Now, he had appeared once again, seeking out Murong Xiangming.

After all, Murong Xiangming was the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, a person of noble status. Wen Shiren knew that her position was even higher than that of the Pavilion Master.

Wen Shiren also smiled amicably, his attitude very cordial.

”Miss Murong, you jest. Do you think I’m not familiar with your Treasure Elephant Pavilion?”

”In terms of strength, even our Fire Sparrow Kingdom might not be a match for you.”

He was telling the truth. The Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s public-facing strength seemed ordinary, but even Wen Shiren knew that its hidden power was unfathomably deep.

Therefore, even though he harbored feelings of admiration for this young miss who had risen to fame in such a short time, he could only suppress them in his heart, not daring to speak them aloud.

He knew that with his current status as the Third Prince, he couldn’t have any kind of substantial development in a relationship with Murong Xiangming.

He had indeed come today to ask for her help.

”Alright. If you need help with something, just say it. But whether I can actually help you is not something I can decide on my own.”

Murong Xiangming had a vague idea of Wen Shiren’s purpose.

Sure enough, Wen Shiren didn’t stand on ceremony and spoke bluntly.

”It’s like this. As you know, the competition within our royal family is fierce.”

”Above me, I have my eldest and second brothers, and they are both vying for the future King’s throne.”

”My eldest and second brothers are both stronger than me. I don’t stand a chance.”

”So, I’m asking you, Miss Murong, to help me. As long as this succeeds and I become the future King of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, I will give the Treasure Elephant Pavilion my full support. I’ll let you open more branches and give you all sorts of preferential treatment.”

He was going all in.

He was daring to make a deal with the Treasure Elephant Pavilion to obtain the position of Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

He was even willing to cede significant benefits to them.

The reason for this was that, compared to his two older brothers, he was indeed lacking in strength.

Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi both had powerful experts by their side, and neither of them paid any attention to him, their third brother.

It could be said that both Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi had a significant advantage in becoming the future Sovereign. Only Wen Shiren’s chances were slim.

Murong Xiangming listened and gave a small smile.

She was well aware that the struggle within the royal family was extremely intense right now.

Unfortunately, the Third Prince’s faction was the weakest.

She immediately asked, ”Why not just withdraw from the struggle? Being a Prince would also be a fine choice.”

She didn’t say that she would support Wen Shiren.

As for the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, no matter who became the Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, it wouldn’t shake their foundation.

It was only a matter of how many benefits the Treasure Elephant Pavilion would receive.

It wouldn’t have a major impact on them.

So, she offered Wen Shiren a piece of light advice.

A trace of unwillingness immediately flashed in Wen Shiren’s eyes.

”If I don’t even put up a fight, I can’t accept just handing the Sovereign’s throne over to my two brothers.”

”Miss Murong, help me.”

Murong Xiangming fell silent.

Having the Treasure Elephant Pavilion step in to help was clearly inappropriate. The Pavilion had branches throughout the Lower Realm and never involved itself in the struggles between any factions.

This was the very reason the Treasure Elephant Pavilion had endured for so long.

It was considered a neutral power.

”Please, help me.”

Seeing Murong Xiangming’s silence, Wen Shiren spoke again, his tone sincere.

Murong Xiangming raised her head and said indifferently, ”It’s not realistic for you to expect the Treasure Elephant Pavilion to openly help you.”

”After all, our long-standing neutral position is unchangeable.”

”How about this? I’ll introduce you to someone who can help you.”

At that moment, Murong Xiangming knew that Jiang Chen’s opportunity had arrived.

Letting Jiang Chen participate in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s internal strife was also his goal. In the midst of the struggle, Jiang Chen would have a chance to kill Wen Shixi.

Relying on his current Cultivation alone, Jiang Chen was naturally unable to kill Wen Shixi.

Wen Shiren was taken aback.

At first, he was naturally a bit disappointed. If the Treasure Elephant Pavilion wouldn’t help, he really couldn’t think of anyone else who could.

”Miss Murong, who are you introducing me to?”

”Are they reliable?”

”I’m trying to achieve something great here. An ordinary person would be of little help to me.”

This was a matter of seizing control of the kingdom; it wasn’t something an ordinary person could accomplish.

Murong Xiangming smiled. ”I can’t guarantee whether he can help you or not, but the person I’m introducing you to certainly possesses extraordinary abilities.”

”If you think it’s a possibility, you can go meet him yourself and then decide.”

Having gone through the incident at the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb with Jiang Chen, Murong Xiangming had a better understanding of his strength.

So, she told Wen Shiren Jiang Chen’s address.
