The technique that Jiang Chen is going to practice is called "Swallowing the Sky", and you can tell from the name that it is the Tianji technique.
The techniques practiced by this body before were only at the Xuan level.
"With the Tianji Kung Fu, I don't believe that I won't be able to reach the Juyuan realm before the Chinese New Year."
"Master, the Qi Gathering Pill has been delivered."
At this time, a maid came to him, holding a jade bottle in her hand.
Jiang Chen then remembered that it was the reward from the winter hunt, five general-level beasts and five Qi Gathering Pills.
"Just right, bring it."
The grades of elixirs are divided into grades one to seven.
The Qi Gathering Pill is a first-grade pill. In the Holy Land, only children from poor families can take this kind of pill. However, judging from Jiang Mansion’s reaction just now, this ordinary first-grade pill is a relatively rare resource.
"Huh?" Jiang Chen took the bottle, poured one pill into his hand, and frowned immediately.
"Who refines the elixir in the house?" he asked.
"Young Master, the alchemist is so noble. How can there be an alchemist in Jiang Mansion? They prepare the medicinal materials themselves and then go to Baishui City to ask the alchemist to come and help refine it."
"So that's it."
A force needs a huge amount of elixirs, and usually has its own elixir master.
But Jiang Mansion didn't have one. It needed to hire outsiders. You can imagine how expensive it would be.
The most important thing is that Jiang Chen found that the person who refined the elixir was not good at all, or was not careful.
Maybe because he was being paid and the alchemist didn't have to worry about the materials, he was a little messy.
Jiang Chen could tell at a glance that among the five Qi Gathering Pills in his hand, some of them had ingredients that could be used for second-grade elixirs.
It can be said to be a waste to use it on the first grade.
Of course, the advantage of doing this is to ensure the success rate of alchemy.
The people in Jiang Mansion knew nothing about this, and they were extremely grateful to the spiritual alchemist after being deceived.
"Is it because the quality is not good enough to be refined with better materials, or is it a deliberate trick?"
The possibility of the former is higher, because the latter will not do any good to the alchemist.
"It's really a waste to take it like this."
Jiang Chen felt it was necessary to do something and ordered: "Bring me a basin of water. I want water from the well."
"OK."
The maid didn't know what he was going to do, but she didn't hesitate.
Not long after, a basin of water was brought to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen held the five Qi Gathering Pills in the palm of his hand, then stretched his hand into the water, closed his eyes slightly, and guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gather in his hand.
Slowly, his palm emitted a faint light, and at the same time, sediment overflowed from the gaps between his fingers.
When it was over, the Qi Gathering Pill in Jiang Chen's hand was one size smaller, as if a layer of useless impurities had been peeled off.
"It's so simple."
Jiang Chen did not turn it into a second-grade elixir, which required the ability to make something out of nothing, but only improved the quality of the elixir.
The quality of each elixir is different depending on the level of the person who made the elixir and the medicinal materials.
For example: a first-grade ordinary elixir, a first-grade ultimate elixir, a first-grade genuine elixir, and a first-grade divine elixir.
Because the elixir master previously wasted materials and still refined ordinary elixirs, Jiang Chen was upgraded to the best elixir, and one of them even reached the level of genuine elixir.
Jiang Chen, who was about to reach the next level, was very happy to see this result.
………
………
Seven days later, Jiang Chen, who was practicing in seclusion, heard the sound of horses neighing outside the yard and smiled knowingly.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Tu's hearty laughter was heard.
Fan Tu pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Hahaha, young master, that set of boxing techniques you gave me was amazing. I just touched the surface and beat Li Hong so hard that I didn't even recognize him."
Jiang Chen was not surprised by this result.
"With a hundred fire dragon horses, the east courtyard will have a lot of faces now, and the winter will be much better." Fan Tu began to admire his young master.
"Uncle Fan, choose a good horse for me. I'm missing a mount."
"No problem, I'll leave it to Uncle Fan." Fan Tu assured him, patting his chest, and immediately went to choose a horse for him.
In the afternoon, another news came that Gao Yue, who was looking for help, was back.
"I hope there is good news."
Jiang Chen came to the main hall of the east courtyard to greet Gao Yue, but when he saw the latter's face, he knew that things were bad.
"Mom, you really show everything on your face."
While Jiang Chen was thinking about it, he asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
Gao Yue was reluctant to say anything, with an expression full of grief, anger, grievance, and deep helplessness, and said: "Chen'er, mother is really useless."
"well."
Jiang Chen knew that his mother had a tendency to cry, but luckily Xue'er, a maid, couldn't control her mouth.
"Xue'er, tell me."
"Master, the Su family is so abominable!"
Sure enough, Xueer couldn't help but burst out and accused the Su family.
It shouldn't be difficult for Gao Yue to go to Su's house to ask for help this time.
"We didn't see Master Su Mansion when we first went there. Su Qian led us to a side hall and waited for a full hour."
"Then a man came over and said that he was Su Qian's boyfriend. He told us not to worry about Su Qian. He said that the current situation in East Hospital is simply delusional."
"My wife and I thought at first that Su Qian came up with this method because she wanted to regret her marriage, so we wanted to see Palace Master Su to make things clear so that we could get together and part ways."
"As a result, Su Qian just asked people to drive us away!"
Su Qian is Jiang Chen's fiancée. When that woman came to Jiang Mansion as a guest, she was very respectful and filial to Gao Yue, and her mouth was also very sweet.
Treating an elder like this now really proves that saying, knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts.
The Su family had taken a liking to Jiang Chen because Jiang Chen had a father and was able to become the master of Jiang Mansion.
But now one of these two things has been lost, and the other is being lost.
The Su family is not idiots, so why would they marry their daughter? So everything happened naturally.
Hearing that his mother not only failed to invite anyone, but was instead humiliated by the Su family, Jiang Chen felt very aggrieved. He was just a cold and cold person, but he did something so cruel.
"Didn't you see the master of Su Mansion in the end?"
"No, but on our way back, the master of the Su Mansion sent two letters. One of them said that Su Qian was young and ignorant. I hope Madam won't be offended. But since I have explained what I said, it's easy to get together and leave. All we need to do is sign
If you submit the letter of annulment, the Su family can come and help for the sake of past friendship."
"A document to cancel the engagement?" Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
An engagement is a big deal. It cannot be denied verbally, or it can be terminated unilaterally. It must be signed by both parties on the paper to be considered void.
"It seems that it is not only Su Qian, but also the entire Su family. However, the Su family has no prominent power in Shiwandashan. How dare they reject Jiang Mansion so openly?" This is what Jiang Chen doesn't understand.
"Master, Su Qian also performed the pulse-opening ceremony, and the potential unleashed is amazing. Many forces and powerful people in Shiwandashan extended their olive branches. The status of the entire Su family is rising rapidly."
"Xue'er!" Gao Yue, who was silent, suddenly shouted.
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood, "It doesn't matter, I won't mind even if it's a divine vein."
