Divine War Pill Emperor

Zhan Yang’s hands were trembling as he looked at the sheer number of Purple Gold Quality Elixirs.

He still didn’t understand Jiang Chen’s intentions.

He asked uncertainly, ”Are you giving these elixirs to me so I can keep them safe for you?”

That’s right—he didn’t dare to imagine that Jiang Chen was actually giving these elixirs to them.

That would be truly terrifying.

If he were to sell such precious elixirs, it would be no problem to get over a billion yuan crystals.

And Jiang Chen was entrusting them to his care so casually.

’Does Jiang Chen think he’s going to fail and die while assisting the Third Prince?’

This was his guess.

Jiang Chen said nonchalantly, ”No. These are for the four of you.”

”The Foundation Strengthening Pills inside can help you improve your cultivation.”

”For the time being, you don’t need to go out on missions. Just focus on absorbing these elixirs. It won’t be too late to go out again after your cultivation has grown.”

What?

Zhan Yang felt his head buzzing again.

He immediately jumped up in fright and exclaimed in horror, ”What did you say? You’re giving these elixirs to the four of us?”

”Did you misspeak?”

”Jiang Chen, I’ll give you one more chance to say that.”

He truly couldn’t believe it.

It was too terrifying. Nearly five hundred Purple Gold Quality Elixirs! He hadn’t looked closely, but the mere fact that they were Purple Gold Quality was astonishing enough.

He even wondered if he was seeing things.

However, Jiang Chen repeated with a serious expression, ”You heard me right. These elixirs are for you.”

”You’ve been with me all this time, and I haven’t really done much to help you. Consider these elixirs I specially refined a testament to our friendship—a welcome gift, if you will.”

Zhan Yang was starting to panic.

He swept his Divine Thought across the Spatial Ring again.

Only then did he see the contents clearly: a full three hundred Purple Gold Quality Second-grade Foundation Strengthening Pills, along with two hundred others for healing and detoxification.

All of them were Purple Gold Quality.

And it was a level of Purple Gold Quality they couldn’t even have dreamed of.

Not even a Ninth-Grade Alchemist could necessarily refine elixirs of this quality.

With trembling hands, he hurriedly refused.

”Jiang Chen, please don’t. We can’t accept such a gift.”

”Really, take them back. For you to give us this... it’s almost an insult.”

His refusal was utterly sincere.

After all, they were too valuable. It was like holding a hot potato.

If they were ordinary elixirs, he would have taken them without a second thought.

But the value of the elixirs Jiang Chen was offering was simply unimaginable.

Jiang Chen shook his head. ”Friendship is priceless. A few mere elixirs are nothing in my eyes.”

”As an Alchemist, I can refine elixirs of this quality whenever I want. Don’t worry about it.”

”To me, elixirs like these are as common as cabbages.”

This wasn’t Jiang Chen boasting; it was the truth.

These days, any elixir he casually refined would be of Purple Gold Quality.

They were just cabbages, and he could give them to whomever he pleased.

Alchemists could be willful like that.

Zhan Yang could only manage a wry smile.

He still insisted on refusing.

Even if Jiang Chen saw them as garbage, he didn’t dare to take them.

”Zhan Yang, stop refusing.”

Jiang Chen was getting angry.

He said loudly, ”Your cultivation levels are too low. I just want to help you.”

”As my friends, you have the right to my help. If you truly consider me a friend, don’t refuse again.”

”Otherwise, I’ll just pretend I never knew you.”

He wasn’t one for sentimentality, and he hoped Zhan Yang wouldn’t be either.

After all, he sincerely wanted to help Zhan Yang and the others.

Zhan Yang was rendered speechless by Jiang Chen’s words.

It was clear that, based on what Jiang Chen had said, he had no choice but to accept the elixirs today.

Finally, Zhan Yang nodded.

”Jiang Chen, since it has come to this... I, Zhan Yang, accept.”

He suddenly dropped to his knees.

”Jiang Chen, thank you.”

Jiang Chen’s expression changed, and he pulled Zhan Yang back to his feet.

”Zhan Yang, don’t disappoint me. Friends should treat each other with mutual respect. If you dare to kowtow to me again, our friendship is over.”

Zhan Yang was moved to tears with gratitude.

Jiang Chen truly saw them as friends.

To be honest, when he first met Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen’s cultivation was lower than his.

Now, although he was on the verge of breaking through to the Daoist Martial Artist Realm, Jiang Chen was already a Martial King Third Heaven. The gap was simply too vast.

Since Jiang Chen was offering his help, it would be unreasonable for him to refuse any longer.

He was genuinely moved.

”Jiang Chen, I have never regretted becoming your friend.”

”I’m sure JinLing and the others feel the same way.”

The two of them sat together and talked for a long time.

Then, Zhan Yang suddenly said, ”Jiang Chen, to be honest with you... I am actually the Prince of the Warring States.”

”It’s just that the Warring States has already been destroyed. It was conquered by the Wind Sea Kingdom. My sister and I were left adrift, and I have always wanted to restore our kingdom.”

Finally, he had told the truth.

He had always hidden it from Jiang Chen before.

Now, he completely regarded Jiang Chen as one of his own.

Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

”The Warring States... I’ve heard of it.”

”No wonder you named your group the Warring States Mercenary Corps.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t particularly curious about Zhan Yang’s identity.

On the Bright Moon Continent where he now lived, there were the Three Great Empires.

The Divine Wind Empire, the Snow Moon Empire, and the Elf Empire.

Under the Divine Wind Empire were six kingdoms, including the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the Wind Sea Kingdom, the Warring States, the Tang Kingdom, the Qianye Kingdom, and the Snow Kingdom.

Among them, the Warring States had been destroyed by the Wind Sea Kingdom.

In truth, the various kingdoms were constantly fighting amongst themselves.

The borders of these kingdoms changed daily, and it was perfectly normal for one to be annihilated.

Zhan Yang sighed. ”I’ve always wanted to restore my kingdom, but it’s just too difficult.”

”I’d almost given up hope.”

”Jiang Chen, one day, I will restore the Warring States. When that day comes, I will make you the National Preceptor.”

Jiang Chen smiled. ”It’s good that you have confidence.”

”If you need it, I’ll help you as much as I can.”

Although he didn’t want to get involved in restoring a kingdom, if he could be of assistance, Jiang Chen didn’t mind helping Zhan Yang out.

After chatting for a while, Zhan Yang spoke again. ”Lu Beifeng is the descendant of a meritorious official from our Warring States. He has always followed me, hoping to help restore our kingdom. But I’ve noticed he’s always wanted to become your disciple. If you’re willing, you should take him as your apprentice.”

Jiang Chen fell silent.

Taking on a disciple... he originally had no intention of doing so.

But after hearing Zhan Yang’s words, Jiang Chen thought for a moment before saying, ”Alright. I can accept Lu Beifeng as a Registered Disciple.”

”I will guide him.”

A Registered Disciple was not a formal apprentice.

However, Jiang Chen would still be his master.

Lu Beifeng was currently learning Jiang Chen’s Sword Dao, and his own aptitude was quite good.

”Thank you.”

Zhan Yang thanked him again.

Afterward, Zhan Yang went to find Lu Beifeng.

When Lu Beifeng heard that Jiang Chen was willing to accept him as a Registered Disciple, he was ecstatic.

He immediately bowed to Jiang Chen.

”Master, please accept this disciple’s bow.”

His wish had finally come true.

He could learn the Sword Dao from Jiang Chen.

”Rise. From now on, I will guide you.”

”However, I still want you to follow Zhan Yang.”

He had already taken ten disciples in his previous life and didn’t want to take any more formal ones.
