Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2734: Chapter 2737: Attending the Meeting

"Teacher, I’m sorry for causing trouble for the academy!"

After the three deans left, Jiang Chen clasped his fists towards Jian Cangqiong and the others.

"You brat, if you say that again, I’ll beat you!"

Sang Zhenye gave Jiang Chen a sidelong glance.

Jiang Chen grinned, introduced Jian Cangqiong to everyone, and they all took their seats.

"Jiang Chen, did these things cost a lot?"

Jian Cangqiong shook the Space Ring.

"It’s nothing. The academy has lost its pseudo-Dao treasures, and without some resources, it can’t attract students."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and then changed the subject: "I was originally thinking of inviting a senior to accompany us back to the academy after the final competition ended, but now that Teacher Jian has made a breakthrough, we won’t have to trouble anyone else."

Lifting a finger to point at the Space Ring: "I asked around and learned that a million Dao Source Beads, once shattered, are enough to create a pseudo-Dao treasure, although a Saint is needed for the shattering and condensing process. Inside here, there are thirty million Dao Source Beads, which, including cultivation, should support the academy for about ten years. After all, the students, teachers, and elders in the academy are all Below the Saint."

"What?! Thirty million..."

Everyone was shocked and stood there stunned.

Jiang Chen obtained over a hundred million Dao Source Beads at the Canghai Auction House, and Pang Guang didn’t take a single cut, giving it all to him.

After repaying Si Huang’er ten million Dao Source Beads and allocating these thirty million, he still had over seventy million Dao Source Beads reserved for tomorrow’s auction, or else most of it would likely have gone to Jian Cangqiong.

Upon hearing this, Jian Cangqiong’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly extended his Divine Sense into the Space Ring.

Inside the ring, there were not only the items Jiang Chen had just taken out but also a vast amount of Dao Source Beads, some Jade Vials filled with Elixirs, and a few Spirit Treasure Level Divine Weapons.

Most importantly, there was a frozen jade box, from which a faintly enticing heat seemed to emanate.

Heart Demon Flame?!

Jian Cangqiong’s eyes bulged as a shocking realization struck him, causing him to suddenly look up at Jiang Chen.

"Teacher, I still have more myself, so please take these!"

Jiang Chen spoke with a double meaning.

Jian Cangqiong took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "You brat... You don’t want me to have any peace, do you? With these, I’m afraid I’ll be on edge the moment I leave Canglan City, worried someone might rob me!"

"It’s not that bad."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "After all, you’re a Saint. Stay calm."

Not that bad, you clueless fool! Without that Heart Demon Flame, I could remain calm about the Dao Source Beads, but damn it, you put a Heart Demon Flame inside there that even Saint Monarchs and Supreme powerhouses would covet, and you expect me to stay calm? You’re dreaming!

Jian Cangqiong really wasn’t calm at all, feeling as if millions of beasts were rampaging inside him. He couldn’t voice his concerns and had to suppress them, feeling uncomfortably pressured, and could only glare at Jiang Chen to release some tension.

Sun Changming didn’t find anything unusual. In his view, thirty million Dao Source Beads would be challenging even for an average Saint Monarch Strong One to produce, so Jian Cangqiong’s reaction was natural.

However, Sang Zhenye felt something was off. He looked at Jian Cangqiong, then at the Space Ring, and finally Jiang Chen, concluding that Jiang Chen must have placed some significant treasure inside the ring. Yet, he didn’t dare to imagine it would be the Heart Demon Flame.

"I haven’t finished yet. The pseudo-Dao treasures condensed from the shattered Dao Source Beads contain attribute-less Power of the Great Dao, or rather, embody the Power of the Great Dao of the Seven Fundamental Great Paths and Two Fundamental Extreme Paths, allowing all cultivators to comprehend and practice."

Jiang Chen continued from before: "Henceforth, Changlin Academy doesn’t have to only admit students of the Five Elements Great Path. The ring contains various related Cultivation Techniques and Combat Skills, as well as records on Formations and Alchemy. Now that the academy has separated from Changling Academy, it should develop comprehensively!"

"Good!"

Jian Cangqiong finally came to himself and nodded heavily.

They chatted for a while longer before Jian Cangqiong and the other two elders left, allowing the younger ones to talk freely.

...

The next day.

As the sun rose, Jiang Chen left the courtyard where Changlin Academy was staying and headed towards the Tang Royal Mansion alone since Tang Jie didn’t invite anyone else.

"Hey, did you hear? A cultivator named Jiang Chen fought a life-and-death duel in the imperial city and killed the heirs of the Zheng Royal Mansion and the Qingwang Residence!"

"Whoa, really? Are you sure?"

"Of course I’m sure. My cousin’s husband’s younger uncle’s sister-in-law works at the Qingwang Residence! The most important thing, do you know what it is? I heard this Jiang Chen is only at the Divine Infant Realm Peak."

"What? That’s impossible!"

"I know who you’re talking about. It’s that Jiang Chen who won first place in the Alchemy Dao competition and the Formation Dao competition, right? It’s long been said that he’s exceptionally powerful, and he reportedly even killed..."

Walking down the street, Jiang Chen heard many conversations about recent events, most of which centered around him.

Amused, he shook his head, ignoring the surrounding chatter, slightly surprised at how quickly his affairs had become so widely known.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Tang Royal Mansion, he spotted two familiar figures. He wasn’t deliberately looking for them; their towering forms were just too conspicuous.

"Miss Xuan’er, Brother Gu Lin."

Jiang Chen called out, stepping forward.

Feng Xuan’er and Gu Lin, who were about to enter the gate, turned and smiled upon hearing his voice.

"Brother Jiang."

"Young Master Jiang."

The three met at the gate, and Feng Xuan’er turned to the guards stationed at the entrance of the Tang Royal Mansion: "This is Jiang Chen, also invited by Young Master Tang Jie."

"The Young Master has informed us, please, all three of you, come in!"

The guard smiled kindly, casting a curious glance at Jiang Chen. Even he was intensely curious about this legendary figure.

Jiang Chen clasped his fists towards the guard as he entered the Tang Royal Mansion with Feng Xuan’er and Gu Lin.

Upon entry, a brilliant sea of flowers spread before them with a cobblestone path winding through it. In the center stood an integral hilltop, seemingly carved from elsewhere, with an Old Locust Tree growing crookedly atop it.

"A bold choice to plant a locust tree in a sea of flowers!"

Feng Xuan’er commented with a light laugh.

"It’s for setting up a Formation."

Jiang Chen glanced around, appreciating its design: "Here, I’m afraid there’s a terrifyingly formidable Formation, perhaps reaching the limit that a Spirit Array Grandmaster can arrange, and..."

He paused slightly, glancing up at the sky and surrounding buildings: "The entire Tang Royal Mansion might be enveloped by a super Formation composed of multiple large Formations."
