Chapter 263: Extremes
Chapter 263: Extremes
Upon hearing Ye Ying's question, Jiang Cheng nodded.
"I trust your words. You wouldn't do such a thing."
Warmth filled Ye Ying's heart, but she quickly turned away and whispered, "I still advise you to reconsider."
Seven or eight million transferred to her account; saying she wasn't tempted would be a lie.
However, as Jiang Cheng said, she couldn't bring herself to betray her friends.
Not to mention, she had earned so much in just a few days, all thanks to him. If she did such a thing, she would be worse than a pig or a dog.
"No need to think further, I've made up my mind. But you're right, it would be hard not to attract attention if I exchanged several million worth of An Shen Dan all at once. So, could you help me exchange them in smaller amounts? Two or three million each time, wouldn't that be better?"
"Yes, that would indeed be much better. Although it might still attract some attention, but I just broke through to the 6th Rank. They won't make a big deal out of it."
Ye Ying nodded in agreement.
"That's true."
Jiang Cheng recalled the past, when Bing Li treated him differently than Ye Ying.
Now that Ye Ying was stronger, she would naturally receive more attention.
"I'll transfer seven or eight million to you first. It should be enough to buy Intermediate An Shen Dan, right? If there's Advanced, buy that."
"There's no Advanced, only Intermediate. The best is Intermediate An Shen Dan, which costs 200,000 each. Above that are Third Rank medicines, but only 7th Rank Mind Masters have the privilege to purchase them, and..." Ye Ying trailed off.
"And what?" Jiang Cheng asked after waiting for a while, as she didn't continue.
"And I heard that even the headquarters can't refine Third Rank medicines. Keep this between us."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret," Jiang Cheng assured with a smile.
Indeed, there seemed to be no Third Rank medicines in the Black Market's auctions.
Advanced An Shen Dan, however, was available.
This further confirmed a conclusion: the Black Market was indeed more powerful than the Dawn Society.
"I wonder which is stronger, the Black Market or Stormhold?" Jiang Cheng pondered.
After more than an hour's journey, the two finally arrived at the headquarters.
To avoid attracting attention, they parted ways after getting off the vehicle.
Jiang Cheng returned to the headquarters with the sniper rifle and then went back home with the secret potion.
He planned to go to White Pine Camp early the next morning to continue hunting, so he spent as much time as possible with his family.
As for the potions, Ye Ying would contact him by phone when she was ready.
Ye Ying called Hong Cha to inform her of her return but mentioned she still had some preparations to make. Hong Cha didn't ask further, only urging her to hurry and preferably leave in the afternoon.
So, at noon, Jiang Cheng met Ye Ying at a coffee shop.
They briefly chatted, and then Jiang Cheng left with a box.
At home, Jiang Cheng arranged fifteen bottles of Intermediate An Shen Dan alongside the ten bottles of Primary An Shen Dan he had purchased earlier.
He then took out the Lotus Meditation Chart.
Under his gaze, his mental energy in his mind rapidly depleted, while on the panel, the experience points for the Lotus Meditation Technique soared at a rate of 2 points per second.
As the mental energy was nearly depleted, Jiang Cheng began taking the potions.
With each An Shen Dan taking effect, his mental energy rapidly recovered, especially after taking the Intermediate An Shen Dan, almost catching up to the depletion rate.
After an unknown period, the calming spirit pill had long been consumed, and the recovery speed of mental energy in his mind had slowed significantly.
On the panel, the experience bar for the Lotus Meditation Technique had increased by slightly more than a third.
Jiang Cheng could feel that his mental energy had improved, but he wasn't sure by how much. He would have to wait until his mental energy fully recovered to know the exact amount.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Jiang Cheng came to a conclusion.
His mental energy had increased by about 0.5 times the original amount.
In the past, he could absorb 20,000 Essence Light Points by actively absorbing them twice a day, but now he could absorb around 30,000.
Including the acupoints he had unblocked, the number of Essence Points he could refine daily reached over 90,000.
The improvement wasn't significant, but it was still an improvement.
It was similar to cultivating the Cloud Piercing Skill; the speed of cultivation would increase by more than ten percent.
Jiang Cheng let out a bitter laugh.
He didn't want it to be this way either.
If he had enough pills, his mental energy would increase threefold, and the time needed to cultivate the Cloud Piercing Skill would be cut in half! In other words, the time required to reach the 7th Rank would be halved.
But what else could he do?
Even with the three million in his account, he could only wait a few days for Nightingale to complete her mission and ask her to make the purchase.
Fortunately, by then, the 1.8 million gap could be filled.
At that time, he could directly cultivate the Lotus Meditation Technique to Mastery Level and become a First Rank Mentalist.
"Next, I'll continue cultivating the Cloud Piercing Skill. After refining all the Essence Points, I can start practicing the Shadowless Blade Technique."
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, focusing on absorbing and refining the Essence Points.
Time passed, and soon it was evening.
At the dinner table, Jiang Cheng once again mentioned that he had to go on a business trip for a few days.
The elderly couple, Aunt Chen, and the others were naturally reluctant to let him go, but they also knew there was no other way. They reminded him to be careful.
Jiang Cheng reassured them that it wasn't a dangerous task and that, like the last time, he would be back in a few days.
After spending some time watching TV with his family, he returned to his bedroom to refine the remaining Essence Points. Then, he took out the alloy battle knife and began practicing the Shadowless Blade Technique.
He tried it out and found that the experience gain was very slow.
If he practiced for six hours a day, it would take almost a year to reach the entry level.
After applying the Golden Orchid Ointment, which cost 30,000 per bottle, the experience gain increased tenfold, just like when he was cultivating the Shattering Jade Fist.
At this rate, it would take just over a month to reach the entry level with six hours of practice daily.
If he practiced for longer, the time required would be even shorter. With twelve hours of practice daily, it would take less time, and with eighteen hours of practice, he could reach the entry level in about ten days.
But the last option was too extreme.
If he did that, he would be practicing the knife all day, leaving no time for absorbing and refining Essence Points.
"Five or six hours of practice seems more reasonable. This is a 30,000-yuan secret potion. If it were a 50,000-yuan potion, five or six hours of intense practice would be equivalent to eleven or twelve hours. If it were the top-tier 100,000-yuan potion, it would be even better, but unfortunately, I can only buy it at Stormhold."
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
He could go there, but it would be better to wait until he became a Master.
After becoming a Master, he would need even more cultivation resources.
Buying from there would save him more money.
For now, he decided to use the 50,000-yuan Snow Lotus Ointment, practicing the knife for five or six hours daily, and he would reach the entry level in about half a month.
He already had eleven bottles of the secret potion, and he needed just seven or eight more. At 50,000 yuan per bottle, it would only cost 400,000 yuan, which wasn't much.
