After Jiang Chen finished refining the Blood Corpse Pill, he didn't move on to the Spirit Feeding Pill.
Jiang Chen still lacked some of the materials for the Spirit Feeding Pill.
He couldn't even refine the Celestial Destiny Pill for the Black Fire Crow.
The Celestial Destiny Pill was an extremely rare elixir used to extend one's life, and its ingredients were incredibly difficult to find.
So, the plan to save the Black Fire Crow had to be put on hold for now.
He decided to focus on cultivating a batch of powerful Zombies first.
He walked out of his seclusion.
"Sir, you've come out of seclusion."
Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao had truly committed to following Jiang Chen.
All the members of their Mercenary Team had died in the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb. Their team now existed in name only, leaving them with no choice but to follow Jiang Chen.
Although they could have formed a new Mercenary Team, the two of them decided to follow Jiang Chen instead.
Xiao Jun, in particular, knew that Jiang Chen was protected by a Martial Arts master like the Golden-haired Zombie and possessed formidable potential himself.
He was more than willing to follow.
He had volunteered to be Jiang Chen's attendant.
They stood guard outside Jiang Chen's seclusion room.
"Mm!"
Jiang Chen simply nodded.
Since the two were willing to follow him, and he happened to be short on manpower, it was a good fit.
As for the Warring States Mercenary Corps, he had no plans to go on missions with them for the time being.
After all, his plan was to kill Wen Shixi.
"You two, come with me."
"From now on, you'll follow me."
Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun were both overjoyed.
"Yes!"
The two replied in unison.
Jiang Chen was walking ahead when he suddenly paused.
Then, two streaks of golden light shot from his hands, flying straight toward Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao.
"Hm?"
Seeing the golden light hurtling toward them, their expressions changed slightly.
Of course, they knew Jiang Chen certainly wasn't trying to kill them.
They both reached out, grabbing for the golden light in front of them.
They were curious. It seemed Jiang Chen was giving them something, but they didn't know what it was.
WHOOSH!
With a quick motion, they each snatched the golden light out of the air.
Then, they both stared at the luminous golden objects in their hands.
In an instant, they looked as if they'd been struck by lightning, completely stunned.
Xiao Jun's jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Whoa..."
He wanted to cry out in shock but found himself speechless, utterly dumbfounded.
Even Mr. Jiao, with his Martial King Fifth Heaven Cultivation, was trembling all over.
His eyes widened with excitement as he stared intently at the object in his hand.
After taking several deep breaths, he turned to look at Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun looked over at the same moment.
The two of them gasped in unison.
Then they exclaimed.
"Whoa..."
"Heavens, this is a Gold Quality, Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill!"
"Oh my god, a treasure! A real treasure!"
The two of them howled with excitement, their voices booming.
That's right. What Jiang Chen had given them were Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pills.
A Second-grade Foundation Strengthening Pill was enough to allow a Martial Cultivator's Cultivation to break through to the Martial King Realm.
And a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill, of course, was even more precious.
With enough Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pills, a Martial Cultivator could go from being an ordinary person all the way up to the level of Martial Emperor Cultivation.
That's right, Martial Emperor Cultivation.
This was an exceptionally precious elixir.
Having been part of mercenary teams, the two of them naturally understood how precious this kind of elixir was; its value was frightening.
A single pill could sell for tens of millions, or even over a hundred million, primordial crystals.
One Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill was worth an entire estate from the Lin Family.
One can only imagine how precious it was.
And now, each of them held a Gold Quality, Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill in their hands.
"Huuuh..."
Xiao Jun's mouth felt dry. He suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Chen, whose back was turned to them.
He couldn't calm down for a long time.
Finally, he turned to look at Mr. Jiao.
"Mr. Jiao, this is a Gold Quality, Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill! It's something money can't buy. It would be hard for either of us to ever afford one."
"Tsk tsk, looks like we've thrown in our lot with the right person this time."
Mr. Jiao's face was also ecstatic.
"My Cultivation is on the verge of a breakthrough. With this Foundation Strengthening Pill, I can definitely break through to the Martial King Sixth Layer Heaven."
"From now on, I will follow you with unwavering loyalty, Sir."
He was so shocked by the single elixir that he was at a loss for words.
Not only could one Pill help him raise his Cultivation by a whole layer, but the Foundation Strengthening Pill also wouldn't leave behind any negative side effects.
It was a miracle drug among Third-Grade Elixirs for advancing one's Cultivation.
With their abilities, it was nearly impossible to obtain an elixir of this Level. As soon as a Foundation Strengthening Pill like this appeared on the market, it would be instantly bought up by the wealthy, no matter how exorbitant the price.
Because at this tier, the value of an elixir could no longer be measured by money.
'I know my choice to follow Jiang Chen was the right one.'
Xiao Jun was also filled with emotion.
His eyes shone with a brilliant light.
"This Foundation Strengthening Pill is enough to make me a master at the Martial King Second Layer Heaven."
Then, the two of them bowed deeply toward Jiang Chen's back.
"Thank you for the gift of this Pill, Sir."
Jiang Chen waved his hand. "It's nothing. Just a single elixir."
He said it so casually, as if he thought nothing of such an elixir.
Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao were even more speechless.
Jiang Chen actually thought nothing of such an elixir.
'What did that mean?'
They faintly guessed that Jiang Chen must be an incredibly skilled Alchemist.
Immediately, the two silently followed Jiang Chen, their hearts now completely devoted to him.
An Alchemist, it could be said, held an incredibly high status no matter where they went.
And Martial Cultivators understood even more clearly what it meant to be a powerful Alchemist.
Building a good relationship with an Alchemist was extremely important.
「They arrived at the place where Zhan Yang and the others were staying.」
At that moment, Zhan Yang, JinLing, Lu Beifeng, and Niu Tuo were all there.
Seeing Jiang Chen enter with Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao, the four of them stood up.
"Jiang Chen, you're out of seclusion."
Zhan Yang was the first to speak. Seeing Jiang Chen, they knew that the gap between them was only growing wider.
Only JinLing's eyes held a look of adoration for Jiang Chen.
She just didn't feel it was right to say it out loud.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"Since everyone is here."
"I have something to announce."
He naturally couldn't keep running with Zhan Yang and the others in the Mercenary Team. Revenge came first.
"Are you trying to kick us out?"
JinLing asked, her eyes welling up with tears.
Jiang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What are you thinking?"
"I was going to say that I'll be going to the Royal Palace soon to assist the Third Prince, Wen Shiren."
"So, for a while, I probably won't be able to go on any mercenary missions with you."
"Of course, if you're willing, you can join me in assisting the Third Prince."
He didn't hide anything. He had already made up his mind to assist the Third Prince.
And his revenge could only begin with the Third Prince's help.
Zhan Yang and the others were stunned for a moment.
Then it suddenly dawned on them.
They were overjoyed. "Haha, and here we were wondering what was going on."
"You're going to assist the Third Prince? That's wonderful news!"
"Haha, Jiang Chen, you really are full of surprises. No wonder people from the Royal Palace came looking for you. They must have been from the Third Prince, right?"
