My Nine Female Apprentices Are The Most Powerful People - Chapter 24
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the clear sky. He couldn’t help but exclaim.
“It’s daytime. How can there be thunder… I can’t practice without thunder!”
“This endless formula is a masochistic technique!”
There were only two ways for Jiang Chen to practice in the absence of thunder!
The first way was to set up an array formation so that he could practice the lightning attracting array formation!
However, Jiang Chen soon gave up the idea!
The reason was simple. Setting up the protection array would take too much time. If he had the time to set up the formation, he might as well just practice it honestly!
One of the reasons was that the True Martial Sect was too poor to afford the materials.
The last way was to carve talismans. Although it would take a lot of time, it was cheaper!
Jiang Chen did it as soon as he thought of it. He first found a pen and paper and wrote down the knowledge of alchemy that Tong Mu and the others required. Then, he handed it to them to study on their own.
The array masters of the North Mountain City were also there.
After giving them the alchemy formula, Jiang Chen came to the alchemy room.
“How is the preparation of materials going?”Jiang Chen asked.
“Almost all of them are ready, except for one ingredient. I was not able to find that either in the Pill Pavilion or the town…”
Tong Mu looked at Jiang Chen with shame. After all, Jiang Chen had taught him so many things, and he had yet to return the favor…
“Master, this ingredient can only be found in the depths of the Dark Forest. But it’s very rare. Whether you can find it or not depends on your luck!”
There were many beasts in the Dark Forest. There were even monster kings in the doctrine state, but ordinary people rarely entered.
Those who entered the Dark Forest mostly wandered in the outer area. Only a few powerful people were brave enough to go into the depths.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown and think about it.
“Without the fiery herb, I can’t refine Fiery Torrent Pill to help Jiang Yan unrival his Primordial Divine Physique!” Jiang Chen sighed. He had a plan. Then, he walked out of the alchemy room.
When the group of alchemists saw Jiang Chen walk out with a heavy heart, they all asked him in confusion.
“Master, where are you going? Do you need help?”
Tong Mu ran up to him and asked. Most importantly, Tong Mu wanted to make up for the regret he had felt when he was in the Array Pavilion!
Jiang Chen waved his hand at him when he heard this.
“No need.” Jiang Chen didn’t say anything after he finished speaking.
Jiang Chen’s destination this time was the Dark Forest. There were a lot of powerful beasts in the Dark Forest, so it must be very dangerous.
Although Tong Mu had a high cultivation base, Jiang Chen had a strange feeling that he would be a burden if he tagged along!
However, what Jiang Chen was most worried about was his own secret.
The more dangerous the place was, the more likely Jiang Chen was to expose some of his tricks. If Tong Mu was with him, it would be a problem whether Tong Mu could keep his secret or not!
If some of the top experts of the Red Sun Continent knew about these tricks, the True Martial Sect, which hadn’t fully developed yet, would be completely destroyed. Even Jiang Chen himself might die.
Therefore, Jiang Chen had to be careful!
Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at Sunnywood Town on his mount, and one of the places beside Sunnywood Town was the Dark Forest!
At this moment, Jiang Chen was stopped by two people!
“Sect leader of the True Martial Sect, wait!”
“Humph! People of the True Martial Sect, stop!”
Jiang Chen was a bit confused, but he still turned around and looked over.
As soon as he turned around, he saw two resentful, dissatisfied faces.
“The True Martial Sect, right? They kidnapped the alchemists of the Pill Pavilion, including even the pavilion master! What are your intentions?”
“Great. Now that you’ve brought yourself to us, we don’t have to go all the way to the True Martial Sect!”
The middle-aged man looked gloomy. His gloomy face and the resentful look in the woman’s eyes were very discordant. It was obvious that the two were at odds.
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded for a moment. No matter how he looked at them, he didn’t recognize them!
“Damn it. It’s one thing for you to deceive the Pill Pavilion, but why did you deceive the Array Pavilion too?”
“Deceive?”
Jiang Chen finally understood. These two people were definitely from the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion.
However, it would be too much to say that Jiang Chen had deceived the alchemists and array masters.
They were the ones who wanted to stay in the True Martial Sect. It could be said that they deceived him!
“You two, you’ve gone too far. I’ve never lied to any of them!”
“They’re in the True Martial Sect. You can go to the True Martial Sect and ask them to go back with you. I won’t stop you!”Jiang Chen said mockingly.
For a moment, the two were at a loss for words.
After a while, the woman spoke up angrily, “It’s not about whether they go back or not!”
“They are both the pavilion masters of the Array Pavilion and the Pill Pavilion, and both pavilions are unguarded at the moment. If the investigation is carried out, your True Martial Sect will surely be unable to bear the consequences!”
Although what she said made some sense, since they were already at the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen couldn’t do anything about it!
The most important thing was that even though Jiang Chen wanted to chase them away, he wouldn’t be able to chase them away!
In the next second, Jiang Chen’s defense was broken by their words.
“There’s a way to solve this!”
“Let Lou Shan and Tong Mu come back to guard. I’ll go to your True Martial Sect!”
“That’s what I meant!”
Jiang Chen almost couldn’t help but laugh when he saw how worried they were for the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion.
After talking for a long time, Jiang Chen finally understood their purpose!
“If you want to go to the True Martial Sect, just say it. Besides, just because we are the True Martial Sect doesn’t mean we can leave the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion.”
When the two heard this, they were overjoyed.
“Great!”
“Then… Should we go now?”
Just as Jiang Chen had expected, the man and woman didn’t stop Jiang Chen anymore to make things difficult for him. They just wanted to enter the True Martial Sect.
However, the reason for all this was probably that when Jiang Chen had asked Tong Mu and Lou Shan to come to Sunnywood Town to buy herbs and array materials, he had told the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion about Jiang Chen.
Whether it was the ancient four-way alchemy technique or the incomplete Nine Mystics Array, which had surpassed the heaven-grade, they were very attractive to these people.
Jiang Chen estimated that some alchemists and tactical formation masters had definitely thought of leaving the Pill Pavilion, the Array Pavilion, and joining the True Martial Sect after hearing these two things.
The man and woman in front of Jiang Chen were the first ones to have such thoughts.
“By the way, if you want to go to the True Martial Sect, you must pay the rent.”
“The True Martial Sect’s temple is small, so we can’t support so many people.”
The two were stunned.
Was the True Martial Sect so stingy?
“Your Excellency, I’m the Vice Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion, and she’s the Vice Pavilion Master of the Array Pavilion. Do we have to pay the rent as well?”
The middle-aged man spoke in a displeased tone.
“Lou Shan and Tong Mu pay rent in the True Martial Sect too. Do you think you can enter the True Martial Sect for free just because you have a high status?”Jiang Chen asked disdainfully.
After a while, the two compromised.
After all, as Pavilion Masters, they had to pay rent, and since they were only Vice Pavilion Masters, there was no reason for them not to pay rent.
“In that case… we will pay it..”
