Chapter 307: Stabilizing Development
Chapter 307: Stabilizing Development
In the Alchemy Chamber.
Jiang Cheng had just finished cleaning the herbs and was about to begin pill crafting when his phone rang.
Seeing that the caller was Yang Chun, he hurriedly answered the call.
After all, his success in becoming an Alchemist of a certain rank was inseparable from the other's strong support.
As soon as he answered, before he could speak, Yang Chun's voice sounded first, with a more solemn tone.
"Brother Jiang, I have some not-so-good news. The people from Dawn Society have discovered you here."
"What?"
Jiang Cheng's voice turned anxious, "How did they find out?"
In fact, several days ago, when he made this choice, he had already anticipated such a situation.
So these past few days, he had been continuously improving his pill crafting skills, allowing Yang Chun to witness his value.
It was a realistic situation, but there was no other way; the entire society was just that realistic.
And from the current situation, Yang Chun's initiative in making this call had already achieved its purpose.
Because if the other party wanted to betray him, they wouldn't have gone through the trouble.
"I'm not too clear about the specifics, but they might have discovered some clues, leading them to conclude that you've joined the Black Market. Just now, Bing Li called me and asked me to hand you over to him."
After Yang Chun finished speaking, he paused.
Jiang Cheng understood his meaning and cautiously asked, "Then, Brother Yang, what do you think? Are you going to hand me over?"
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Yang Chun laughed twice.
"What kind of joke is this? The Black Market values its reputation the most. You joined us, so you're one of us. How could I possibly do such a thing? Think about it, if this kind of news gets out, what would others think?"
Jiang Cheng curled his lips.
That's easy to say.
What if he hadn't demonstrated his exceptional pill crafting skills?
"But if we do this, won't it cause trouble for you?"
Jiang Cheng's face showed his dilemma.
"So what? The Black Market isn't a pushover. Whoever wants to squeeze us will face the consequences."
Yang Chun coldly snorted.
"Brother Jiang, just stay here and focus on pill crafting. As for the Dawn Society, I'll handle them."
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Jiang Cheng hurriedly responded.
"It's nothing. The Black Market will never mistreat its own people."
Yang Chun smiled.
He called Jiang Cheng to let him know that the Black Market was willing to offend the Dawn Society to protect him, hoping to touch his heart. Jiang Cheng's reaction also satisfied him.
"I understand, Brother Yang. Rest assured, I will diligently study pill crafting and refine high-quality pills. However..."
Jiang Cheng stammered.
"However, what?"
"I'm worried that the Dawn Society won't give up easily. After learning that you refuse to hand me over, they might secretly send people to infiltrate this place."
"Yes, that's very likely."
Yang Chun nodded.
"So, Brother Yang, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you help my family move to a safer place?"
Jiang Cheng said.
The place he currently lived in had enough space, but the security was not strong.
Grandma, Aunt Chen, and the others were all ordinary people. If he wasn't there and people from the Dawn Society infiltrated the neighborhood, the consequences would be dire.
"A safer place? Then it's only the Central District. There are array formations there, and once an outsider breaks in, it will be detected immediately. Within three seconds, high-level experts will arrive. However, the Central District has limited space, and only those with significant contributions to the Black Market are qualified to live there."
"Yang Chun paused for a moment, but unlike before, he didn't wait for Jiang Cheng to bring it up. Instead, he continued, "But considering your special circumstances, I'm willing to make an exception."
"Really? Thank you, Brother Yang!"
Jiang Cheng's gratitude was sincere this time.
"Haha, don't mention it. These days, people who value relationships like you are hard to come by. We're all family here, so it's the least we can do."
Yang Chun laughed heartily.
"Brother Yang, we shouldn't delay. Can we move in now?"
"Sure, I'm just outside. Come over. By the way, for your safety, I plan to assign you a personal guard to ensure your well-being."
"Huh?"
Jiang Cheng was taken aback.
"Although alchemists are also mind masters, their primary focus is on pill crafting, so they may not excel in combat like other mind masters. That's why they usually have more than one personal guard when they go out."
"Here, it's generally safe, and you might not need one, but given the current situation, I'll arrange one for you to prevent any potential ambushes on your way to and from your residence."
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.
"Brother Yang, what's the strength of the guard you're assigning to me?"
"The highest available is a Seventh Rank. So, I'll assign you a Seventh Rank guard. That Ice Force guy is only a Seventh Rank; he wouldn't dare to come after you himself, right?"
"Alright, thank you, Brother Yang."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh at the situation.
A mere Seventh Rank didn't seem impressive enough.
These past few days, he had been crafting pills during the day and practicing his martial arts at night. Now that his Cloud Piercing Technique was perfected, he was still a Seventh Rank Primordial Energy Warrior, but he was undoubtedly among the top tier.
Starting today, he would begin cultivating the Shadowless Heart Sutra.
Once he mastered the Shadowless Heart Sutra, he would become a Grandmaster, and even without the protection of the Black Market, he wouldn't have to worry about being hunted by the Dawn Society. In fact, it would be the Dawn Society that should worry about his revenge.
Of course, this would take some time.
Due to his pill crafting, he no longer had the opportunity to actively absorb energy and could only rely on the open acupoints to absorb Primordial Energy for cultivation.
Fortunately, with the perfection of the Cloud Piercing Technique, the amount of energy absorbed through the acupoints daily had increased significantly, from around 100,000 to 160,000.
In about two months, he would successfully master the Shadowless Heart Sutra and become a Grandmaster.
If he didn't use his psychic energy for pill crafting and actively absorbed Primordial Energy twice a day, he could increase his cultivation by 120,000 units daily, meaning he could achieve mastery in just over a month.
Naturally, it wasn't feasible to do so right now. Yang Chun had high expectations of him, and even he himself wanted to improve his alchemy skills quickly to craft Second Rank Calming Spirit Pills and advance his psychic energy to the Second, Third, and Fourth Ranks...
In any case, he didn't plan to cause trouble outside during this period. Instead, he would focus on steady growth within the Black Market.
Once he became a Grandmaster, he would go out and deal with some people.
First on his list was the owner of the Gale Martial Arts Academy.
He remembered clearly the bounty placed on him.
The MacKen Club was also on his list.
Additionally, if the Dawn Society persisted in harassing him during this time, he wouldn't mind eradicating them first.
