Chapter 343: Will There Be Another Time?
November 2, 2024
"Alright, let's call it a day here."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the wall clock; it was already past six in the afternoon.
He had spent the entire day guiding these few people's alchemy skills, fulfilling his promise.
"Huh?"
The alchemists suddenly realized that a whole day had passed.
"Master, could you please guide us some more?"
"Yes, yes, Master, why don't you personally refine another batch?"
They pleaded one after another.
Yang Chun, standing nearby, also had a pleading look in his eyes.
"Alright, then."
Jiang Cheng sighed in resignation.
He refined another batch of elixirs in front of them.
After finishing, he looked at them and said, "I've shared all my insights about this alchemy technique with you. To truly master it, you need to go back and practice more."
"Yes, yes."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, feeling they had gained a lot. Some, more eager, planned to stay up all night refining elixirs.
Before leaving, Sun Bo glanced at Jiang Cheng, wanting to say something but unsure what. He could only sigh softly, turn, and follow the group.
"Elder Sun."
Yang Chun stopped him and said with a smile, "I have a few words I'd like to share with you."
Hearing this, the group in front turned around, looking at the two with confusion.
"Okay, okay."
Sun Bo hesitated, then agreed.
The two walked into a conference room and sat down.
Sun Bo opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Elder Sun, if you have any questions, please ask."
Hearing this, Sun Bo whispered, "Was that Master just now the same newcomer with the surname Zhang?"
"Yes."
Yang Chun nodded.
Sun Bo took a deep breath.
After all, guessing was one thing, but getting confirmation from Yang Chun was another.
Immediately, he sighed heavily and smiled bitterly, "Manager Yang, I regret not recognizing the treasure in front of me back then. Now, thinking about it, I truly regret it."
Yang Chun also sighed lightly at these words.
However, he had specifically called the other party here not to hear these words of regret, secretly feeling pleased.
"Elder Sun, I hope you can keep this matter to yourself and not mention it to anyone after you return."
Hearing this, Sun Bo's expression gradually became serious.
He understood the saying, 'The tallest tree catches the most wind.'
"Manager Yang, rest assured. I'll keep this to myself, even if my wife and children ask; I won't say a word."
"That's good."
Yang Chun smiled.
He knew this might not be very useful.
But it was better to give a heads-up than not.
"Elder Sun, if there's nothing else, let's end it here for today. It's getting late; you should also go back and rest early." Yang Chun stood up and said.
"Wait a moment."
Sun Bo reached out, "Manager Yang, will there be another opportunity like today? If so, when will it be?"
"This..."
Yang Chun's heart ached at these words.
Director Gu had borrowed a hundred million for this opportunity.
If they wanted another chance, with that person's appetite, a hundred million might not be enough. But looking at the other's expectant gaze.
"There will be."
Yang Chun nodded, "But the specific date still needs to be discussed."
"Okay."
Sun Bo's face lit up with joy.
If he had a few more opportunities like this, his Alchemy Skill would surely advance to the next level.
...
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
During this time, several Fifth and Sixth Rank Alchemists in the Black Market had improved to varying degrees.
The two Sixth Rank Alchemists had the most significant improvement.
Before receiving guidance from Jiang Cheng, they could only refine one or two High-grade Calming Spirit Pills with two portions of herbs, and even then, it was unstable. Sometimes, they couldn't produce even a single pill.
Now, each furnace produced two High-grade Calming Spirit Pills as a matter of routine, and occasionally, they could even refine three.
As the ones directly involved, they were naturally delighted.
However, the happiest of all were Gu Changkong and Yang Chun.
The higher the Alchemists' skills, the greater the profits for the Black Market.
Having tasted success, the Alchemists united and wanted to treat Jiang Cheng to a meal to express their gratitude and build a closer relationship.
Gu Changkong, taking advantage of the situation, mentioned this to Jiang Cheng.
If the latter was willing to guide them once more, it would be more than excellent.
However, Jiang Cheng refused.
He would rather refine another furnace of elixirs than spend time on that.
Hearing this, the Alchemists felt a mix of reluctance and helplessness.
That day, Jiang Cheng returned home, accompanied by his bodyguards.
In the living room, a woman dressed in a white practice uniform with a ponytail was practicing martial arts techniques with utmost seriousness.
Hearing footsteps approaching, she immediately stopped her movements and turned around. Seeing Jiang Cheng, a flower-like smile bloomed on her face.
"Big Brother Jiang, you're back?"
The woman was none other than Lin Yue.
Compared to a few months ago, her vitality and spirit had improved significantly. If she walked on the street, she would undoubtedly attract plenty of attention.
"Practicing so late?" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The key to martial arts is persistence. As long as you can keep going, that's enough."
After arriving here, his life had become more stable.
He decided to teach Lin Yue the secret martial arts and how to cultivate psychic energy.
When he was with the Dawn Society, doing so would have been a significant burden for him, as even his resources were insufficient for himself.
But now, the resources Lin Yue consumed were negligible to him.
In nurturing Lin Yue, he didn't expect her to become exceptionally powerful, but rather to protect the Elder and Aunt Chen when he left.
It was a way to keep her occupied, and if she truly had talent, her growth would be a pleasant surprise.
As for the Elder and Aunt Chen, they were already at an age where it was too late to start training, just like Nightingale, Yang Chun, and Gu Changkong, who all began their martial arts training from a young age.
"It's too early. I... I can't sleep."
Lin Yue scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Oh, right, Big Brother Jiang, have you eaten? If not, I'll make you something."
"I've eaten," Jiang Cheng said with a warm smile.
"It's getting late; you should get some rest."
"Okay."
Lin Yue glanced at Jiang Cheng and lowered her head as she walked towards her room.
Jiang Cheng watched her retreating figure and shook his head.
He could tell that Lin Yue was eager to start cultivating and sense the presence of Essence Energy, but such matters were still somewhat metaphysical.
"I should also return to my room to refine Essence Energy."
After improving his psychic energy, he refined significantly more Primal Crystal dots each day.
Breaking through to the Ninth Rank was just a matter of one or two days.
