Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen paid no mind to what happened to Kang Shou.

Chief Steward Xiao personally escorted him to the VIP lounge on the fourth floor.

Zhan Yang and the others were, of course, also treated with courtesy by the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

"Are these your friends?"

Chief Steward Xiao asked, looking toward Zhan Yang and the others.

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes."

"They are my best friends."

They had been through life and death together, so their bond was extraordinary.

Jiang Chen truly regarded Zhan Yang and the others as his closest friends.

Understanding dawned on Chief Steward Xiao.

He then smiled. "Our Young Miss was quite pleased to hear you had arrived in the Gambling City."

"I heard that you helped our Treasure Elephant Pavilion branch back in Hanwu City and that you saved our Young Miss’s life. The Treasure Elephant Pavilion will never forget this kindness."

"By the way, is there anything you need this time, Young Master Jiang? Please feel free to ask for anything at all from our Treasure Elephant Pavilion."

Since he was the Young Miss’s friend, Chief Steward Xiao dared not show the slightest neglect.

There were truly very few people their Young Miss kept in her thoughts.

In fact, as far as they knew, Jiang Chen was the only one.

Although Jiang Chen’s Cultivation wasn’t particularly high, the fact that their Young Miss held him in such regard meant he was definitely extraordinary.

Besides, his ability to subdue a Martial King First Heaven Purple-Haired Demon Wolf with a mere Sixth Level of Martial Master Cultivation was proof enough of his remarkable nature.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen spoke again. "I want to buy a manor."

"Preferably one that faces north and south."

"But your Treasure Elephant Pavilion only has two east-west facing properties at the moment, which don’t meet my requirements."

Chief Steward Xiao immediately made a decision. "Leave this to us. Rest assured, with the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s influence, I will absolutely find a manor that satisfies you in a short amount of time."

"Please trust our Treasure Elephant Pavilion. As for those petty troublemakers, don’t give them a second thought."

Chief Steward Xiao was clearly still talking about Kang Shou.

He was well aware of Young Master Jiang’s status. Though not exceptionally powerful himself, he had saved their Young Miss. Moreover, the Young Miss valued him, which made all the difference.

As the saying goes, when one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

If their Young Miss wanted to help Jiang Chen, his future would surely be glorious.

Listening to Chief Steward Xiao, Jiang Chen realized Murong Xiangming was truly something else. Within the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, she could blot out the sky with one hand; her power was astonishing.

This made him deeply suspicious of Murong Xiangming’s identity.

The Chief Pavilion Master of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was surnamed Murong—Jiang Chen knew this from his previous life.

Therefore, he now had a faint feeling that Murong Xiangming was definitely connected to the Murong Clan.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Chief Steward Xiao."

Jiang Chen clasped his hands in a slight bow. Since Chief Steward Xiao was being so courteous to him, he responded in kind.

"Not at all. It’s my duty."

They chatted for a while, after which Chief Steward Xiao immediately sent people to search for suitable properties.

At the same time, he contacted Murong Xiangming.

However, he soon received a message from their Young Miss. Chief Steward Xiao gave a wry smile. "Young Master Jiang, I’m very sorry, but our Young Miss will likely be busy for the next few days and won’t have time to meet with you."

"How about this? We can arrange for you to stay at a hotel for now."

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised. Murong Xiangming was a busy person; running a massive organization like the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was naturally a demanding job.

It didn’t matter that he couldn’t see Murong Xiangming. It wasn’t as if he absolutely had to meet her.

After leaving the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, Jiang Chen and his friends temporarily moved into the hotel arranged by the pavilion.

It seemed to be another one of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s properties.

"Jiang Chen, you actually know the Young Miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion?"

Inside their hotel room, Zhan Yang, JinLing, Niu Tuo, and Lu Beifeng all stared at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

They all started asking questions at once.

"I suppose you could say that. She was at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion in Hanwu City before. We met a few times."

The four of them gaped.

But JinLing pressed, "It seems like your relationship with the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s Young Miss is anything but ordinary."

As she spoke, she felt a little pang of jealousy.

"Not at all. We just have a normal relationship, like regular friends."

Jiang Chen explained.

They had food and drink at the hotel and were living quite comfortably.

For three consecutive days, there was no news.

「On the fourth day.」

Word finally came from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

"Young Master Jiang, our Chief Steward Xiao requests your presence."

"There’s news about the manor you wanted."

Jiang Chen was overjoyed. Without a manor, he had no way to enter secluded Cultivation here.

Moreover, he also needed to practice Alchemy, which was impossible without a quiet environment.

He immediately rushed over to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion with Zhan Yang and the others.

They met with Chief Steward Xiao.

"Young Master Jiang, you’ve arrived."

Jiang Chen greeted him.

Chief Steward Xiao said, "You’ve come at the perfect time. We have a client who wants to sell his manor. It faces north-south, just as you requested, and he’s here at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion right now."

"Please, follow me."

Jiang Chen and his friends followed Chief Steward Xiao.

They soon arrived at a reception room and saw a middle-aged man.

"Chief Steward Xiao."

The man was also very polite upon seeing the chief steward.

It was clear that Chief Steward Xiao held considerable influence in the Gambling City.

Chief Steward Xiao nodded. "Mr. Lin, you wish to sell your manor, and my friend here happens to be in need of one."

"What a coincidence. Why don’t the two of you discuss it now?"

With Chief Steward Xiao acting as a go-between, things became much simpler.

Jiang Chen greeted Mr. Lin.

The man was slightly taken aback by Jiang Chen. After all, he wondered if a young man with such a modest Cultivation level truly had the resources to purchase his manor.

He immediately asked, "Young Master Jiang, since you wish to buy a manor, I’ve brought the deed and everything with me today."

"You can take a look."

Jiang Chen directly asked Chief Steward Xiao to look at it for him. He wasn’t familiar with the Gambling City, but he trusted Chief Steward Xiao, as he was one of Murong Xiangming’s people.

After examining it, Chief Steward Xiao nodded. "The deed and related documents are all in order."

Jiang Chen felt relieved.

He said in a clear voice, "In that case, I will consider this manor."

Mr. Lin was naturally quite pleased.

"Then, I’ll take you all to see the manor today."

"After you’ve seen it, if you’re satisfied, we can close the deal."

Seeing that Mr. Lin was also a straightforward person, Jiang Chen was also very satisfied.

"Alright, let’s go to the manor and check out the environment."

Although Jiang Chen wasn’t short on money, he still needed to inspect the manor. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease living there.

"Young Master Jiang, this old man won’t be going. After you’ve had a look, if you’re satisfied, just come back to our Treasure Elephant Pavilion to sign the agreement."

Since the transaction was being brokered by the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, they would normally collect a commission.

This was the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s standard procedure.

After saying their goodbyes to Chief Steward Xiao, Jiang Chen, Zhan Yang, and the others followed Mr. Lin straight to his manor.

Jiang Chen had also discreetly assessed him. This Mr. Lin was also an expert, his Cultivation at the Martial King Realm. It seemed he had only recently broken through to become a Martial King.

From this, Jiang Chen could see that the Gambling City was, after all, the capital of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. Experts were as numerous as clouds, and there were clearly many Martial King Experts.

Unlike their Hanwu City, which had very few Martial King Experts.
