Divine War Pill Emperor

Mr. Qiu Shui fell silent.

After a long while, he sighed. ”You’re right. I can’t go back to the Alchemy Master Guild now.”

”It’s a shame. After a lifetime of success, I’ve fallen at the hands of Chang Mao and Wenzhu.”

”It’s all thanks to you this time.”

Jiang Chen suddenly asked, ”Do you still want to return to the Alchemy Master Guild?”

Mr. Qiu Shui nodded. ”The Alchemy Master Guild is the only place I have left to go. But even with me gone, Chang Mao and Wenzhu won’t be able to take the President’s seat.”

”Because I have both the Silver Crown and the President’s Badge.”

He had spent nearly his entire life at the Alchemy Master Guild in Gambling City. It was his home.

If not for the treacherous plot by Chang Mao and Wenzhu, he would never have hesitated to return to the Alchemy Master Guild.

Of course, the politics at the Alchemy Master Guild ran deep.

Even with his Cultivation at the Martial Arts Sect Ninth Heaven, he still fell victim to a plot.

”I suggest you wait until you break through to the Martial Emperor Realm before returning to the Alchemy Master Guild,”

Jiang Chen said.

Although they were strangers, Jiang Chen had a good feeling about him. At the very least, Mr. Qiu Shui wasn’t some heartless, depraved man.

A man like that was a worthy President for the Alchemy Master Guild.

Even Jiang Chen didn’t want the presidency of the Alchemy Master Guild to fall into the hands of someone like Chang Mao.

He decided to help Mr. Qiu Shui.

But Mr. Qiu Shui gave a bitter smile. ”Breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm is an incredibly difficult feat.”

”I wouldn’t dare to dream of it.”

He had been stuck at the Ninth Heaven of Martial Arts Sect for a decade, yet he still couldn’t break through.

He even felt he might be trapped at the bottleneck of the Martial Arts Sect Ninth Heaven for the rest of his life, unable to advance.

He shook his head, having lost all hope for himself.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, ”How about this: you follow me for now, and I’ll figure out a way for you to break through.”

’What?’

Mr. Qiu Shui was taken aback once more.

At first, he couldn’t quite process it.

’This is ridiculous,’ he thought. ’Jiang Chen’s Cultivation is only at the Martial King Third Heaven, far below my own. How could he possibly help me break through? It’s utterly preposterous.’

A sense of resignation washed over him.

’Jiang Chen is so young. He must just like to brag.’

However, he didn’t refute Jiang Chen right away. Instead, he asked, ”Are you certain you can help me break through?”

He was deeply skeptical.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to believe Jiang Chen, but that it was simply unbelievable.

’Believing him would be a grave mistake.’

He wasn’t a fool; he knew Jiang Chen couldn’t help him.

However, Jiang Chen seemed very confident.

”I know you don’t believe me, but how will you know I can’t do it if we don’t even try?”

In his past life, Jiang Chen had been an expert on the level of a Divine Emperor with an incredibly profound understanding of the dao of cultivation. Even in this life, he wouldn’t face any bottlenecks.

If all went smoothly, he could break through directly to the level of Divine Emperor Cultivation.

Therefore, with his experience in cultivation, giving Mr. Qiu Shui a bit of guidance would be effortless.

”This...”

Mr. Qiu Shui hesitated for a moment.

Then he said, ”If you can truly help me break through, you will be my benefactor.”

”Of course, you’ve already saved my life, so you’re my benefactor already.”

”Alright then. If you don’t mind, I’ll follow you for the time being. This old man and his weary bones might still be of some use to you.”

Jiang Chen nodded. ’With such a powerful expert on my side,’ he thought, ’helping the Third Prince secure the position of successor to the Sovereign of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom should be no problem.’

”Alright. In that case, you can follow me for now.”

With that said, he waved his hand.

The Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat both entered the Dragon-locking Realm.

With Mr. Qiu Shui around, Jiang Chen no longer had to worry about being ambushed on the road.

The two of them headed straight for Gambling City.

”I’ve currently thrown in my lot with the Third Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. I’m going to help him become the successor to the Sovereign.”

”So, while you’re with me, I’ll need you to step in and help out when you can.”

Jiang Chen laid out the situation for Mr. Qiu Shui.

Mr. Qiu Shui was quite surprised.

”Of the three princes in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the Third Prince’s faction is currently the weakest.”

”By the way, our Alchemy Master Guild is backing the Crown Prince, Wen Shixuan, so you’d best be careful.”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

’So even the Alchemy Master Guild is one of Wen Shixuan’s backers.’

’No wonder the Third Prince is in the worst position.’

The Crown Prince has the support of the Alchemy Master Guild.

The Second Prince has the backing of two masters, the Sovereign and the National Preceptor. Meanwhile, the Third Prince is basically all alone. If Jiang Chen hadn’t entered the picture, he would have had absolutely no standing to compete for the succession.

He shook his head slightly.

”Looks like the waters in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom run deep,” Jiang Chen sighed.

Even so, Jiang Chen wasn’t the least bit afraid.

He had plenty of experts on his side as well.

He had the Flame Dragon and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and now Mr. Qiu Shui. He even had a dormant Black Fire Crow at his disposal.

His overall strength now slightly surpassed that of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

Although Mr. Qiu Shui accompanied Jiang Chen, he disguised his appearance.

After all, as the President of the Alchemy Master Guild, many people in Gambling City would recognize him.

For the time being, Mr. Qiu Shui’s identity had to remain a secret.

Mr. Qiu Shui had used a Disguise Technique to transform into a frail, haggard old man following by Jiang Chen’s side.

Like an old servant.

He coughed from time to time.

”COUGH, COUGH... Young Master, we’re almost at Gambling City.”

Mr. Qiu Shui said, coughing.

Gambling City was now visible in the distance.

Jiang Chen nodded.

He and Mr. Qiu Shui flew to a spot outside the east gate of Gambling City, then entered the city on foot.

However, upon entering Gambling City, Jiang Chen’s keen senses picked up on the numerous spies positioned around the gate.

They seemed to be looking for someone.

”Young Master, they must be looking for me. They’re the men Chang Mao and Wenzhu sent.”

Mr. Qiu Shui instinctively sensed the spies were looking for him.

Unfortunately for them, he had changed his appearance, so no one could recognize him. Jiang Chen had even used a Secret Technique to alter his aura.

So, even if Chang Mao and Wenzhu saw him in person, they wouldn’t recognize him.

”It’s fine. They won’t recognize you.”

Jiang Chen simply walked on.

The two of them headed straight for the Third Prince’s Traveling Palace.

Soon they arrived at the Third Prince’s Hall.

”Jiang the Military Advisor, you’ve finally arrived.”

The Third Prince was overjoyed to see Jiang Chen.

He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then he noticed the old man accompanying Jiang Chen.

He asked, slightly surprised, ”And this gentleman is...?”

Jiang Chen explained, ”Your Highness, this is an expert I’ve brought with me. With him standing guard at your residence, things should be much safer.”

The Third Prince was immediately stunned.

’According to Jiang Chen, this man must be an unfathomably powerful expert.’

’And Jiang Chen brought him! It was then that he truly understood: Jiang Chen was his savior.’

He hurriedly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture toward Mr. Qiu Shui.

”Welcome, honored sir.”

Mr. Qiu Shui gave a detached nod, acknowledging the greeting but clearly not wanting too much interaction with the Third Prince.

His demeanor was anything but warm.

’But experts were all like that.’

Sensing the Third Prince had something important to discuss with him, Jiang Chen had Xiao Jun take Mr. Qiu Shui to his quarters to get settled.

”Your Highness, whatever important matter you have, you can speak freely now.”
