Divine War Pill Emperor

"Don’t get all worked up and scare yourselves."

"I mean, yes, I’m going to save it, but I’m not stupid enough to put myself in danger."

"I can subdue it and make it submit to me."

Jiang Chen already had a plan.

Since the Black Fire Crow was so tenacious, he might as well save it.

Then, he would take the opportunity to forcefully subdue it.

This Black Fire Crow was, after all, a Demon Beast at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens. If he saved it, it would be beneficial for him.

At the very least, he would have another expert by his side.

"Right, you can subdue it."

Zhan Yang and the others were immediately thrilled.

They had worried for nothing.

Indeed, with the Black Fire Crow so severely injured, it was the perfect opportunity to forcefully subdue it.

By then, even if the Black Fire Crow made a full recovery, it would already be under Jiang Chen’s control and would naturally be unable to threaten him.

JinLing followed up, asking, "It’s so badly hurt. Can you really save it?"

They had all checked it repeatedly. The Black Fire Crow’s Primordial Qi was severely depleted, and its spirit was nearly scattered.

Now, its only remaining trace of Life Force was also slowly fading away.

With injuries like these, it would be impossible to recover without a Heaven-defying Level Elixir.

They all turned to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen fell silent.

’It’s impossible to save the Black Fire Crow all at once. The Elixirs I can refine right now aren’t nearly enough to save it. However, I can stop its Life Force from fading away. I have a way to do that, and I can do it right now. Besides, I have the Black Fire now. With it, I can definitely refine a Third-Grade Elixir in a short amount of time. And it just so happens that among Third-Grade Elixirs, there’s one that can restore the Black Fire Crow. It’s all just a matter of time.’

"Don’t worry, I’m confident I can save it."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen immediately took out a Golden Healing Pill.

At the same time, he took out all sorts of useful Elixirs—for healing, stopping bleeding, regenerating blood, and so on.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing?"

"Why are you taking out so many Elixirs?"

When they saw that all the Elixirs Jiang Chen produced were Gold Quality, the jaws of Zhan Yang and the others dropped in unison.

Jiang Chen always managed to astound them.

"Enough talk. Quick, get me a large barrel."

"Fill it with water."

Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng went to do it without a moment’s hesitation.

In just a moment, they appeared carrying a large barrel.

Jiang Chen crushed all the Elixirs and threw them into the water.

The Elixirs quickly dissolved.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen directly tossed the Black Fire Crow into the barrel.

"You’re soaking it in a solution of so many Elixirs."

"What a waste."

JinLing exclaimed, thinking that Jiang Chen was a spendthrift and far too wasteful.

Of course, she didn’t know that in Jiang Chen’s eyes, these Elixirs were practically worthless.

"You’re wrong. If we save the Black Fire Crow, with its Combat Power, it’ll be unstoppable."

"It’s worth it. Absolutely worth it."

Lu Beifeng immediately retorted to JinLing.

JinLing glared at Lu Beifeng.

Lu Beifeng awkwardly shut his mouth, not daring to talk back to JinLing.

Jiang Chen offered no explanation. The Black Fire Crow would indeed be of great use.

The Black Fire Crow would need a few days to absorb the medicinal liquid, which would be enough to keep it from dying. Afterward, Jiang Chen would need to refine a suitable Elixir for it to swallow, enabling its recovery.

"Do you guys have anything urgent to do?"

"If not, wait for me for a few days. I still need to bring the Black Fire Crow under control."

Zhan Yang hurriedly waved his hands.

"No rush, no rush. We don’t have anything important right now."

"The only thing we need to do is go to Gambling City, turn in the Moyang Flower mission we completed, and at the same time, upgrade our Warring States Mercenary Corps to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps."

Speaking of this, Zhan Yang couldn’t help but get a little excited.

After so much hard work, they had finally qualified to become a Three-Star Mercenary Corps.

They had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

"Alright then. When the time comes, I’ll go with you."

Jiang Chen’s business wasn’t finished yet.

He thought about Wen Shixi, Qin Muxue, and Mr. Gu escaping. They had obviously also gone to Gambling City, the Capital of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Gambling City had become a necessary stop for him.

"Yay, that’s great!"

"Jiang Chen can team up with us again!"

JinLing was overjoyed and couldn’t contain her excitement.

Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng also broke into smiles.

Jiang Chen let a few drops of his own blood drip into the barrel.

The blood quickly mixed into the medicinal liquid.

He wanted to control the Black Fire Crow, and now was the perfect time.

The Black Fire Crow had no chance to resist.

As long as the Black Fire Crow absorbed the medicinal liquid along with Jiang Chen’s blood, he would be able to successfully control it.

Sitting cross-legged beside the barrel, Jiang Chen began to chant a Spell.

To control the Black Fire Crow, he needed to refine his own blood and merge it completely with the creature.

While Jiang Chen was subduing the Black Fire Crow, it seemed Zhan Yang and the others weren’t idle either.

They began to discuss their own plans.

"I was thinking, since we’re going to Gambling City, why don’t we pick up a mission while we’re here?" Zhan Yang said.

In fact, whatever Zhan Yang said was basically the final decision.

As expected, no one objected.

Lu Beifeng agreed, "Yeah, it’s on our way. We can take on a mission and earn some Primordial Crystals, right?"

"Heh heh, I’ve grown to like adventure."

Niu Tuo also raised his hand in agreement.

JinLing didn’t say a word, clearly acquiescing to her brother’s decision.

So, JinLing and Niu Tuo stayed there to watch over Jiang Chen.

Zhan Yang and Lu Beifeng left the courtyard to ask around about available missions.

As a Mercenary Team, taking missions and earning bounties was their only way to make a living.

After all, Zhan Yang and the others didn’t have Jiang Chen’s Alchemy skills, so they could only earn Primordial Crystals by taking missions.

This was how all Mercenary Teams survived.

「About four days later.」

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"HUUFF!"

He let out a breath.

Then he looked into the barrel.

The water in the barrel had already diminished by nearly half.

The half-dead Black Fire Crow floated on the surface.

However, Jiang Chen could sense that the Black Fire Crow’s Life Force was now completely stabilized.

At the very least, the Black Fire Crow wouldn’t die within the next five years.

’I won’t even need five years. In half a year at most, I’ll bring you back to life.’

He fished the Black Fire Crow out of the barrel.

The wounds on the Black Fire Crow’s body had also mostly recovered.

All that was left was its incomplete Life Force, which kept it from waking up.

Even the Black Fire Crow’s consciousness was still dormant.

"Jiang Chen, how is it? Is it done?"

JinLing and Niu Tuo quickly came over to ask.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"It’s all finished. The Black Fire Crow’s life is saved for now."

"The rest will come in time."

JinLing and Niu Tuo were overjoyed.

"Does that mean you’ve controlled it too?"

Their only worry was that the Black Fire Crow would seek revenge on them after it recovered.

Jiang Chen naturally dispelled their worries.

"Don’t worry. It’s already under my control. No matter how strong it becomes in the future, it will never escape my grasp."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out a Spirit Beast Bag. These were spatial bags specially designed for holding Spirit Beasts, and he had specifically asked JinLing and the others to buy a few back in Guyue City.

They had cost a large sum of Primordial Crystals.

"Huh? Where did Zhan Yang and Lu Beifeng go?"

Noticing that Zhan Yang and Lu Beifeng weren’t there, Jiang Chen asked curiously.
