My Nine Female Apprentices Are The Most Powerful People - Chapter 18

“This Tong Mu is quite knowledgeable!”

Jiang Chen glanced at Tong Mu in surprise. He didn’t expect him to be so well-informed about the things that had happened thousands of years ago.

“Alright. You guys try to comprehend the four-way alchemy method. I’m leaving now!”

As Jiang Chen was about to walk out of the pavilion, Tong Mu suddenly spoke up.

“Master, may I ask you something?” Tong Mu cupped his hands and asked hesitantly.

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks and nodded slightly, as if he had given his permission.

“Master, if I stay in the True Martial Sect, will you always give me guidance on my Dao of alchemy?”

Tong Mu didn’t just ask his own question, but rather, he asked what was in the minds of the alchemists present.

After Tong Mu said that, the alchemists looked expectant, eagerly waiting for Jiang Chen’s answer.

“Of course!”

Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Although there aren’t many disciples in the True Martial Sect, I alone can refine many cultivation pills.”

“But I don’t have so much time on my hands. For the True Martial Sect to become more powerful, we need more alchemists. Since I’ve taught you, I don’t have to worry about it anymore!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Mu and the other alchemists were excited. They bowed and thanked him hurriedly.

“We’ll thank you first, Master!”

“We’ll do our best and according to your instructions, Master!”

“That’s enough. You can go back to your work. I have to go back to cultivate!”

Then, Jiang Chen waved his hand and left!

Looking at Jiang Chen’s retreating figure, Tong Mu was inexplicably happy, as well as a little sad.

He was sad because Jiang Chen didn’t intend to take him as a disciple. He was happy that Jiang Chen would still teach them the great Dao of alchemy!

…

The True Martial Sect, the main hall of the sect leader!

Jiang Chen sat on the throne of the sect leader. The spirit gathering array formation was activated. He swallowed the Heavenly Spirit Pill he had just refined and started cultivating!

Time passed bit by bit.

One day later.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound came out of Jiang Chen’s body. He opened his eyes gradually.

“The Heavenly Spirit Pill can’t be compared to the Blood Spirit Pill. How come only one spiritual meridian has been opened?” The more resources he needed to cultivate, the more Jiang Chen frowned about the current True Martial Sect!

Poor!

The sect was too poor!

If he was in the former True Martial Sect before he had ascended, Jiang Chen wouldn’t even have looked at the Blood Spirit Pill, which was just a trash pill, let alone consume it to cultivate. Opening forty-two spiritual veins was just like child’s play.

But the truth was… The current True Martial Sect couldn’t even afford the Blood Spirit Pill!

“Thirty-five spiritual veins. It’s still some distance away from the forty-two spiritual veins of the constellation of nine turns technique!”

“I won’t cultivate for the next few days. I have to make some preparations in case the Yan sect came looking for revenge on the True Martial Sect!”

Jiang Chen informed Ye Qizheng and the others. They arrived in the sect leader’s great hall within a few breaths’ time.

Jiang Chen’s frown became more and more serious after he asked Ye Qizheng a simple question!

“Sect leader, the sect’s protection array really can’t be activated! Even the array’s eye is broken…”

“The eye of the sect’s protection array was broken when the phenomenon of heaven and earth appeared on your body. The statue of the venerable ancestor in the martial arts arena is the eye of the formation…”

“Is it impossible to repair it?”Jiang Chen asked tentatively.

“No. It’s completely damaged. There’s no way to repair it!” Ye Qizheng said helplessly, “If it could be repaired, I would have already asked an array master to repair it with the sect’s resources.”

“I see!”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said, “Guard the sect. I have to go to Sunnywood Town!”

Ye Qizheng and the others didn’t ask any more questions. They nodded and agreed.

Soon, Jiang Chen left the grand hall slowly after giving instructions. He called Tong Mu over and the two hurried to Sunnywood Town.

This time, Jiang Chen’s goal was the Array Pavilion in Sunnywood Town!

There were many first-class and top forces in the Sunnywood Continent.

Among them, the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Pill Pavilion, the Array Pavilion, and the Talisman Pavilion were the four most powerful forces!

And this Array Pavilion was the gathering place for array masters!

All array masters in the Sunnywood Continent cultivated in the Array Pavilion. After they achieved a certain breakthrough in array formations, the Array Pavilion would issue a level token to prove the array master’s level!

This time, Jiang Chen was going to the Array Pavilion to buy the materials needed to set up the array formation.

As for why Jiang Chen brought Tong Mu…

It was because Tong Mu was rich, and Jiang Chen was poor!

“Master, why are we going to the Array Pavilion?” Tong Mu asked as he tagged along with Jiang Chen. Many people in Sunnywood Town would bow respectfully wherever they passed by.

“Why are we going to the Array Pavilion? We’re going to the Array Pavilion to buy some materials to set up the array formation!”Jiang Chen said.

Soon, the two people arrived at the Array Pavilion.

As soon as they entered, a strange voice was heard.

“Hey, isn’t this the third-grade alchemist Tong Mu?”

“I wonder what brings you to the Array Pavilion?”

A man came from the back door of the Array Pavilion and asked rather condescendingly.

This was an old man with a head full of grey hair. He walked towards Tong Mu with one arm behind his back and a walking stick in his other hand.

“Old guy, the grandmaster and I are here to buy some materials. Do you have a problem with that?” Tong Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man unhappily.

“Haha. Not at all.”

The old man suddenly changed the topic. He glanced at Jiang Chen darkly and said with a smile, “It’s just you see, the materials of the Array Pavilion are much more expensive than the offerings of the Pill Pavilion. Can this grandmaster of yours afford it?”

Tong Mu looked at the old man’s strange gaze. He glanced at Jiang Chen subconsciously.

Tong Mu’s mouth twitched.

Because… Jiang Chen’s outfit was too shabby. He looked like an ordinary person who couldn’t cultivate.

“Old guy, you don’t have to bother about that. I’ll cover all of Grandmaster’s expenses here.”

While speaking, Tong Mu moved closer to Jiang Chen. He whispered into his ear, “Master, how about… we get you a proper set of clothes later?”

“Uhh, I’ll list down the materials I need. I’ll leave you to deal with the rest.”

Jiang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. He initially wanted to change his clothes a few days ago but forgot.

Jiang Chen didn’t waste any more time. He cleared his throat and said, “Bring me some paper, pen, and ink. I’ll write down the materials I need!”

The old man from the Array Pavilion didn’t say anything more. He asked someone to bring the paper and pen over. Jiang Chen wrote down the materials he needed quickly.

While Jiang Chen was writing down the materials, Tong Mu and the old man from the Array Pavilion weren’t convinced by each other. They kept glaring daggers at each other.

It seemed that the Pill Pavilion and Array Pavilion had always been at odds with each other..
