Chapter 71: Back to the Alchemist Room
Jiang Chen felt proud of himself when he was promoted to senior disciple . But after learning that Ning Haotian ranked the first on both lists, this proud feeling disappeared . He started to think about the current situation again and plan what to practice .
Undoubtedly, he had to achieve the Mental Wander State .
But if he wanted to enhance his state in a short period, he had to make good use of every resource he had .
First of all, the benefits for senior disciples .
Senior disciples had three enviable resources that could benefit their practice .
The first was the Transdragon Pool .
Each entry in it cost a million contributions . One would see fabulous changes after bathing in the Transdragon Pool . Besides enhancing their state, they would progress rapidly in their future practice .
"The top ten disciples on the Talent List get one free chance to bathe in the Transdragon Pool every month . " Jiang Chen felt complicated when he remembered this rule .
The second was the Deity Elixir .
It was similar to the Pure Yang Pill refined by Jiang Chen, a super helpful object for a Gathering Yuan State to achieve the Mental Wander State .
The third was the Martial Arts Technique Department .
The importance of martial arts techniques was obvious . As long as you spent some time in the Martial Arts Technique Department, your attainments of martial arts techniques would be greatly enhanced .
Among the three resources, Jiang Chen was only interested in the Transdragon Pool .
"Contributions… Without contributions, there is no difference between the top ten sects and schools and the Hundred Thousand Mountains," Jiang Chen thought to himself .
At that moment Meng Hao told him the good news . "Jiang Chen, the alchemist room is done . "
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up . As long as he could refine panaceas, all his problems would be sorted out .
"I think the princess likes you," Meng Hao said abruptly .
"What?" Jiang Chen thought he had misheard . Then he understood what Meng Hao meant .
It was Wen Xin who paid for the construction of the alchemist room . She had also paid for the herbal garden which was still under construction .
Wen Xin had never fulfilled a single task . She simply exchanged rose gold coins for contributions .
Although Jiang Chen had claimed it was due to the contributions he borrowed from her, he wasn't a fool and knew exactly how difficult it was to borrow money . And the princess had never shown any hesitation .
However, Jiang Chen had never thought of that possibility .
Frankly speaking, he was unwilling to consider a romantic relationship before he met that woman again in the Sacred Zone .
Most importantly, he had lost his confidence in women .
Jiang Chen felt most natural when he regarded Wen Xin as a friend, but if it wasn't friendship between them, he would feel a bit weird .
"Stop that foolish talk . I'll show the Natural Law School the charm of an alchemist!"
As a senior disciple, Jiang Chen didn't have to behave cautiously anymore . So he taught Meng Hao a class-one method, which excited him .
For the time being, Jiang Chen would go back to the alchemist room .
Class-one panaceas couldn't satisfy him anymore since he was in a higher state . Jiang Chen was going to refine class-two panaceas .
More than one kind!
He was going to refine Black Yuan Elixir, Revival Elixir, and Sky Yuan Elixir .
Black Yuan Elixir was similar to a Gathering Qi Pill . It could help a guy in the Gathering Yuan State double his results with half the effort in practice .
Revival Elixir wasn't for practice, but it could help one recover his strength quickly .
This kind of panacea wasn't less popular than panaceas at all . In a fight, as long as the two opponents didn't have a huge difference in states, usually the one who could last longer won .
Some powerful people were besieged and died of exhaustion . There were many such examples .
For example, Jiang Chen's father Jiang Qingyu was caught by the Black Dragon City because he was stuck in a battle that wore him down and then was subdued by a tactical formation .
The thing was, although the whole world knew how important it was to recover strength, there were only a few of this kind of panacea .
And the current ones didn't work so well . They could only recover a little strength, and it took a long time . This was fatal in a battle .
In this sense, Revival Elixir was different . It was one of the best among the recovery panaceas used in the Sacred Zone .
Even in a desperate fight, one could see obvious changes, even if he only took one elixir .
The last one was Sky Yuan Elixir . It was used for practice . What made it special was its ability to purify the genuine yuan of a guy in the Gathering Yuan State .
Once these three panaceas were refined successfully, Jiang Chen would make a great fortune without having to leave the house .
When Jiang Chen was about to refine the panaceas, he felt the advantages of a top ten sect and school . He could find whatever medicinal materials he needed here and the amount was abundant .
Jiang Chen borrowed money from Wen Xin again . This time, he said, "It's about time . As soon as I get the panaceas ready, the Redcloud Peak will be the richest peak among the senior disciples' . "
"These are the last fifty thousand contributions my family gave me . Take them . " Wen Xin was resolute as always . She gave him her disciple token immediately .
The disciples' contributions were recorded in their disciple tokens .
Just then, Jiang Chen recalled what Meng Hao had said . He hesitated and didn't take the token right away .
He thought for a while, and said, "Meng Hao told me you liked me . "
If Meng Hao were here, he would definitely kick Jiang Chen .
Wen Xin was frozen . Coldness showed in her eyes . She said emotionlessly, "I'm gonna kill him . "
Then she looked up to Jiang Chen and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Jiang Chen looked serious and terribly rational . "I want to say I am wholeheartedly looking to achieve the peak of martial arts techniques . I don't have extra time for—"
"Enough!" Wen Xin interrupted him and said discontentedly, "Don't worry . I don't like you . I moved here because I wanted you to instruct my swordsmanship and I want to see more progress quickly . Like you, I am also wholeheartedly trying to reach the peak . "
"That's great . " Jiang Chen grinned, as if he had removed a huge burden from his back . He took the disciple token and left Wen Xin's room .
As soon as he left, Wen Xin's whole face turned red, even her neck .
"Bastard!" she scolded while watching him leave .
Jiang Chen sneezed and scratched his head .
Then he asked Meng Hao to purchase the materials he needed, and went into the alchemist room when he got them .
Meng Hao was guarding outside . In a short while, he heard fire burning inside . Then there was smoke coming through the window, along with the slight aroma of medicine .
An hour later, Meng Hao started to worry about Jiang Chen .
He could sense the high temperature in the alchemist room even from outside . One would imagine it was like a steamer inside .
He hesitated to knock, but the door was opened from the inside . The heat wave rushed at him like a fiery dragon, forcing him to step back .
Jiang Chen walked out of the smoke like a celestial being descending to the earth . He was totally drenched in sweat .
"Have you succeeded?" Meng Hao asked .
"Of course," Jiang Chen smiled confidently . He wiped the sweat off of his face and said, "I'll deploy a cooling formation in the alchemist room later . Otherwise I'll die from overheating . "
"Take this . "
Jiang Chen gave Meng Hao a jade bottle with the three kinds of panaceas inside .
"They are equivalent to three months' disciple benefits," Jiang Chen said .
Meng Hao beamed . He thanked Jiang Chen while taking the bottle . He opened the bottle and smelled it . Suddenly, he felt refreshed .
"Jiang Chen, it seems to me that you are incapable of nothing," Meng Hao exclaimed .
Jiang Chen found three wooden boxes and filled them with the three kinds of panaceas . Then he headed for the chamber of commerce for senior disciples with Meng Hao .
