Chapter 315: Endless Aftermath!
Chapter 315: Endless Aftermath!
"Another method is through the use of a Mind Master, who uses their Psychic Energy to compress it."
Yang Chun looked at the Sky Net Umbrella in Jiang Cheng’s hand.
"These three were created this way."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but ask:
"Does it take a considerable amount of time to create one of these Primal Crystals?"
Yang Chun nodded.
"If it’s a Tenth Rank Mentalist, they can create one Primal Crystal a day. For a Ninth Rank, it takes two days. The lower the rank, the longer it takes, roughly doubling the time required."
Jiang Cheng was enlightened.
No wonder the Black Market was always recruiting Mentalists.
It was probably not just to supplement the ranks of Alchemists but also to continuously produce Primal_crystals.
Although the profit from the latter isn’t as high—only about 6 million a month even if one creates one a day—it can’t compare with the profits generated by Alchemists.
However, alchemy, like combat, requires talent, and not everyone is suited for it. But compressing and condensing Primal Energy only requires time and effort.
Any Advanced Mind Master can do it.
Of course, doing so would essentially halt the cultivation of Psychic Energy. I’m sure not many would be willing to do this unless absolutely necessary.
"Alright, any other questions? If not, I won’t disturb you while you’re alchemizing." Yang Chun smiled.
As the person in charge, he had many matters to attend to.
"No."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, expressing his gratitude once more.
For the other party to bring out this treasure and three Primal Crystals, it was indeed a significant investment.
"Hehe, no problem. Just don’t let me down."
Yang Chun closed the door as he left.
Jiang Cheng turned and looked at the Alchemy Furnace in front of him.
Even if Yang Chun hadn’t said so, he would still hurry, as no one was more eager than he was to advance his alchemy skills.
...
Two days passed.
On the morning of the third day, at the Dawn Society Headquarters.
Bing Li listened to the report from the man in front of him, his eyes filled with shock beyond measure.
After considerable effort, he finally learned what had happened that night.
The deaths of Lone Wolf and Invincible were within his expectations.
After all, when Yang Chun said he wanted to capture the two alive, he had his doubts.
But he never imagined that Invincible would die at the hands of that traitor? Was this intelligence real?
Wasn’t the latter only a Second Rank Essence Warrior? How could he possibly kill a Sixth Rank Essence Warrior? He even doubted for a moment if Lone Wolf and Invincible had targeted the wrong person.
"Bing Li, the situation is as I’ve described."
The man beside him sighed and said, "I know what you’re doubting, but I’ve confirmed this information from multiple sources. Invincible was indeed killed by a man named Zhang Cheng.
As for Lone Wolf, he was killed by several Mentalists who came to support. To be precise, he was injured in both legs and, realizing he had no chance of escape, committed suicide."
"Is this Zhang Cheng the same as Jiang Cheng?"
"Very likely."
The man nodded heavily.
"Invincible and his team had been watching for so long and had a Sensory Stone. They definitely wouldn’t have made a mistake in identifying the person. They must have waited for the right opportunity to strike. However, we all underestimated that kid’s strength. He’s not just a Mentalist but also a Sixth, or even Seventh Rank Essence warrior. Invincible was overconfident and had his arm torn off, greatly reducing his combat ability, and ultimately died at the hands of the other party."
"No! It’s impossible!"
Bing Li’s expression was agitated as he shouted:
"He only passed the Second Rank Essence Warrior assessment two months ago, and I was the one who assessed him! How could he break through from Second Rank to Sixth Rank in such a short time? Could he be a genius?"
"The man beside him was also seeing Bing Li lose his composure for the first time.
"Bing Li, calm down," he said.
"At this point, can't you see that he's been deliberately hiding his strength all this time? If not for this time, if he hadn't gone to Pingxi Street and done those things, we might still be kept in the dark by him," he voiced his thoughts.
At the mention of Pingxi Street, Bing Li was struck as if by lightning, and he froze in his chair.
Yes, he had been wondering all along who the knife-wielding killer was.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered Jiang Cheng, but the moment this thought came to mind, he would be dismissed by him.
But now, it seemed like everything made sense.
He had long agreed with the Black Market, then went to the Slum District to kill, and after the killing, he left directly. If he hadn't noticed the clues from the entry-exit records, the other party would have succeeded.
Immediately, a sense of humiliation for being played with surged in his heart.
All along, he thought everything was under his control. A mere Second-Level Force Warrior, what waves could he make? If he dared to disobey orders, he'd be crushed.
But the other party remained patient and silent, making him look like a clown instead. He couldn't wait to take action, to go to the Dinghu Neighborhood right now.
"Bing Li, I have a premonition that with this boy's terrifying growth rate, he will surely become a heart-wrenching threat to our Dawn Society in the future."
The man's voice rang out, his tone extremely solemn.
"We must get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we let him continue to grow, the consequences are unimaginable."
As his words fell, Bing Li suddenly snapped out of his daze.
Indeed.
In just two to three months, he had advanced from First-Level to Sixth-Level. Such a terrifying speed, not just in the Dawn Society, but even in the entire Outer District, there might not be a second person with such progress.
"What do you think we should do next?"
He looked at the man beside him.
"Lone Wolf and Invincible, I think even if we two go, the chances of success are not high. If things go wrong, we might get ourselves caught."
"Do you mean reporting to the President? Asking him to send someone to handle this matter?"
Bing Li's face showed hesitation.
Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to disturb the higher-ups, as it would reveal his incompetence.
But paper can't wrap fire; with Invincible and Lone Wolf in trouble, this matter was bound to be exposed.
"We can only do it this way."
The man took a deep breath.
"That boy might be Sixth-Level, or even Seventh-Level. And after experiencing that night's events, he will definitely be more vigilant from now on. The methods we used before might not work again."
Take the Sensory Stone, for example, as long as the other party places a Breath Suppressing Talisman on their body, it will be rendered useless.
Coincidentally, to ensure the mission's success, both Lone Wolf and Invincible carried one each, and they were advanced ones.
It was like delivering tools to the other party.
Looking at it this way, to capture Jiang Cheng, there's only one way, and that's to send someone stronger than Jiang Cheng, an Eighth-Level, or even a Ninth-Level warrior.
"Bing Li, don't hesitate, make a decision quickly."
"I understand."
Bing Li took a deep breath and picked up the phone beside him.
