Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 182: Delving into the Precious Pill Seeking Record

Chapter 182: Delving into the Precious Pill Seeking Record

Upon parting ways with Ji Mingxiu, Jiang Chen first reached out to Ji Ruxue, communicating to both her and Xie Xiaojing his intention to repair Fang Yuan's foundation.

Thereafter, he propelled the Purple Orchid Meteor Leaf, charting a course directly towards the central Healing Hall.

En route, he pondered, 'I ought to begin by studying the Precious Pill Seeking Record.'

With this objective at the forefront of his thoughts, he promptly embarked on the task of recalling the content of the Precious Pill Seeking Record.

The Precious Pill Seeking Record was a Dao Palace realm pill manual, its complex nature posed a substantial challenge for its practitioner.

The sum of qi and blood energy that Jiang Chen had amassed at this juncture was inadequate to cultivate it to the perfect-level stage.

Nonetheless, even if the energy stored within the Wordless Heavenly Jade was insufficient to cultivate a cultivation method to the perfect-level stage, it could still be leveraged.

It wasn't necessary for Jiang Chen to immediately cultivate it to the perfect-level stage. All he needed was to master a handful of the techniques contained within, with no immediate obligation to acquire all the required techniques in a single attempt.

In that instant, as Jiang Chen recalled the Precious Pill Seeking Record, the Wordless Heavenly Jade instantaneously sprung into action!

A surge of miraculous energy sprang forth from the Wordless Heavenly Jade, enabling him to progressively master the initial technique, and subsequently, the second technique.

By the time Jiang Chen had completed the initial five techniques of the Precious Pill Seeking Record, the energy housed within the Wordless Heavenly Jade was finally exhausted.

'Five techniques, they should suffice for now.'

A grin subtly surfaced on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.

Just then, a majestic palace nestled amidst a mountain range entered his view - it was the central Healing Hall.

All of a sudden, a streak of radiant light surged towards him from the distance.

With a quick sweep of his divine sense, Jiang Chen identified the incoming presence as Wenren Kang.

This was an individual he had previously scrutinized with the Villain's Eye.

Wenren Kang's Fate Value was considerably high; based on the 'original plot' guided by the Heavenly Fate Value, he was unquestionably a subordinate of Fang Yuan.

"This humble one pays respect to the Holy Son!"

Upon laying eyes on Jiang Chen, Wenren Kang immediately greeted him with reverence.

He had been informed by Ji Mingxiu that Jiang Chen possessed a method capable of swiftly repairing Fang Yuan's foundation!

In addition to this, Ji Mingxiu had provided him with a list of requisite materials.

A mere glance at this list was enough for Wenren Kang to surmise that Jiang Chen's method was unequivocally far superior to his own.

Consequently, confronted with the fact that Jiang Chen had mastered such an inconceivable secret technique, Wenren Kang found himself oscillating between awe and disbelief.

Yet, when he attempted to indirectly glean more information, he was met with a severe admonition from Ji Mingxiu!

Wenren Kang was instantly taken aback, recognizing that Jiang Chen was an enigma far more complex than he had initially presumed!

"Greetings, Mr. Wenren!"

Jiang Chen reciprocated the greeting with a courteous disposition, "Have you brought the requested materials, Mr. Wenren?"

"Indeed!"

Wenren Kang promptly presented a storage ring, "The materials required by the Holy Son are all prepared by this old man. They are all stored within this."

"Your efforts are much appreciated, Mr. Wenren."

"As for this list of materials, if you commit it to memory, you shall receive the corresponding secret technique in due course."

With a smile gracing his lips, Jiang Chen accepted the ring and dropped a hint.

"Ah!"

"Yes, yes, this old man expresses his gratitude to the Holy Son!"

Hearing this, Wenren Kang was initially taken aback. His face registered surprise, which quickly morphed into immense delight as he bowed in salutation to Jiang Chen.

After receiving Ji Mingxiu's warning, Wenren Kang understood how exceptionally fortunate he was to know about this list of materials. He didn't dare to harbor dreams of acquiring the corresponding method or witnessing Jiang Chen restore Fang Yuan's foundation.

Hence, he promptly handed over the materials to Jiang Chen.

However, what he hadn't anticipated was Jiang Chen's promise to share the secret art with him in a short while!

The worth of this secret art was utterly immeasurable!

This was a secret art that even the entirety of the Purple Heaven Holy Land hadn't managed to decode over a span of a hundred thousand years.

"I shall make my way ahead then."

With a gentle smile, Jiang Chen propelled himself towards the main Healing Hall.

Wenren Kang saluted once more, standing ramrod straight with his head bowed, his respect for Jiang Chen was evident.

"Greetings to the Holy Son!"

"Greetings to the Holy Son!"

"The Holy Son has graced our main Healing Hall once again."

"The Holy Son must be here for Fang Yuan. That Fang Yuan really ought to engage in some introspection."

"..."

Jiang Chen alighted in the main Healing Hall's plaza, before proceeding through the hall. Every disciple he encountered along the way offered him a respectful bow.

As reverential gazes followed Jiang Chen's departing figure, some individuals couldn't help but quietly admonish Fang Yuan.

Unperturbed by this, Jiang Chen continued straight towards Fang Yuan's chamber.

With a light tap on the protective formation, he waited for three breaths. Gradually, the formation dissipated and the door swung open automatically.

Fang Yuan's intense gaze landed on Jiang Chen, his emotions inscrutable.

Acknowledging Fang Yuan with a slight nod, Jiang Chen shut the door with a sweep of his hand and reactivated the formation.

"How is it?"

Nangong Wan's voice emanated from the Soul Embodying Ring.

"Senior Nangong, Senior Shangguan."

"I have procured the materials required to mend Fang Yuan's foundation."

"However, the challenge posed by the Precious Pill Seeking Record is quite formidable. I only have a rudimentary understanding of the initial technique as of now."

With a gesture of respect towards the Soul Embodying Ring, Jiang Chen earnestly added, "Therefore, I continue to seek guidance from both seniors."

"It's promising that the materials have been procured."

"The depth of the Purple Heaven Holy Land's resources is indeed impressive."

Shangguan Ning responded with a smile, "Regarding the Precious Pill Seeking Record, do not fret overly. We will undoubtedly provide you with wholehearted guidance."

"Agreed."

Nangong Wan also voiced her concurrence.

"Thank you, esteemed seniors."

"I understand that tutoring me can be quite an exhaustive endeavor."

"Especially given that both seniors have recently used the soul condensing technique multiple times."

"I wonder if the seniors require any treasures to replenish their soul power?"

Jiang Chen's face radiated sincerity and seriousness, "I will strive to procure them while ensuring discretion."

His words struck a chord with Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

Since their awakening, they had ceased absorbing power from Fang Yuan's cultivation base.

Instead, they sporadically guided Fang Yuan in his cultivation, distilling various cultivation techniques and secret arts. For them, in their current state, it was indeed an energy-draining task.

In the 'original plot', with Fang Yuan's smooth ascent, they surely didn't expend as much energy.

But under Jiang Chen's covert meddling, Fang Yuan's path was strewn with hardships, and they were nearly exhausted from their efforts on Fang Yuan's behalf.

"We'll have to impose upon you then,"

Shangguan Ning conceded, "We won't let your efforts be in vain, there will certainly be a substantial reward."

"At the current stage."

"The natural treasure that is most beneficial for us and relatively easy to obtain is the Yin-Yang Soul Grass."

Nangong Wan elaborated, "The specific appearance of the Yin-Yang Soul Grass is documented in the Precious Pill Seeking Record."

"Yin-Yang Soul Grass?"

"Understood, I'll keep it in mind!"

Jiang Chen affirmed with a nod and a smile.

Shangguan Ning and Nangong Wan also felt a sense of relief and contentment in their hearts.

However, not everyone present shared their sentiments.
