Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 211 Fame and fortune
In Xinjiabao, a chilling aura rises, standing out starkly from its surroundings.

"Is this the jujube tree that the Xin family built their fortune on? Its aura is truly remarkable."

In the spirit herb garden, looking at the fire jujube tree that was ten feet tall, with small leaves, covered with tiny thorns, and its branches spreading out in all directions, showing its tenacious posture and fearlessness of wind and frost, a strange light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

The Xin family specializes in fire element, and this fire jujube tree was obtained by the Xin family patriarch through a fortuitous encounter. Although it is currently only at the first rank, after so many years of cultivation by the Xin family, it has approached the upper limit of the first rank. If there is enough opportunity, it may become a second-rank spiritual object in the future. Compared with ordinary spiritual objects, this fire jujube has much greater potential.

"The Fire Date grows by absorbing the fire energy of heaven and earth. After sedimentation, its medicinal properties are extraordinary. It can not only help cultivators enhance their true energy, but also cleanse the poison in their bodies and further condense their true energy. It can be said to have many mysteries."

As various records related to fire dates flashed through his mind, Jiang Chen knew that his trip had not been in vain.

With his current strength, he is not afraid to face Huang Feng Sanren head-on. Both his sword techniques and the bloodline of the Mist Dragon give him the confidence to compete with Huang Feng Sanren. However, he does not intend to confront Huang Feng Sanren directly until he is confident enough.

One Yellow Wind Hermit is one thing, but if there are a dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators added to the mix, then it will be really difficult for him to deal with them.

It was precisely because of this that, after anticipating that the Yellow Wind Sect would not let go of Wujin Mountain, he chose to exchange targets with the Yellow Wind Sect. In the end, the result was quite good. Without the support of the great formation and without many strong people, the Yellow Wind Sect cultivators who stayed here could not stop him at all.

"I don't have any problems with pill poisoning, but with the help of fire dates, my cultivation speed should be faster, and perfecting the Qi Condensation Technique will no longer be a problem."

Looking at the few jujubes on the tree that were about to ripen, Jiang Chen had a variety of thoughts flashing through his mind.

"The fire date is resilient and transplanting it is not too difficult. Although I am not good at this, I can temporarily seal its life force with the Qi of Formlessness and then bring it back to Muyu Island."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen immediately dug out the fire date tree.

After doing all this and making sure nothing was missed, he turned and left again, leaving behind only a patch of frost.

Five days later, Huang Feng led the group back. Looking at the scene before them, which was exactly the same as Wujin Mountain, everyone fell silent.

"They really did scrape the ground three feet deep."

"These monsters are truly hateful!"

Knowing that this must be the work of Frost Flood Dragon, the faces of the members of the Yellow Wind Sect were not good. They had originally gone there to ambush and kill Frost Flood Dragon, but they did not expect to be tricked by Frost Flood Dragon instead, which was really infuriating.

"Clean this place up and speed up the mining of the Wujin Mountain vein. At the same time, have someone keep a close eye on Yanqiu and confirm the movement of the Frost Dragon as soon as possible to see if it has returned."

Unfazed by the situation, Huang Feng Sanren calmly issued his orders, having anticipated it.

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in agreement.

While Huang Feng was busy cleaning up the mess, Jiang Chen returned to Yanqiu.

He had been entrenched here for a long time, and the Mist Swamp Technique had long since affected the surrounding area, forming a natural array. Here, he held an absolute advantage and was not afraid of the Yellow Wind Sect's encirclement and attack. If the Yellow Wind Sect really launched a large-scale attack, he could save a lot of effort.

"Go there yourself and give this to Tao Yao."

Back in Yanqiu, Jiang Chen found Rat Tianjiao and handed it a storage bag containing the sealed Fire Jujube Tree.

Upon hearing this, Rat Tianjiao immediately stretched out his tail and wrapped it around the storage bag.

A moment later, it burrowed underground and silently left Yanqiu. "The condensation of the Flood Dragon Pearl is itself a process of gathering people's thoughts, which is similar to the cultivation of the Golden and Silver Qi-Inducing Technique. However, with the Flood Dragon Pearl as a special carrier, the Flood Dragon can more easily get rid of the influence of these distracting thoughts."

"However, no matter what, reputation is indeed very important to a dragon. Whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, it can help the growth of spirituality. Once enough spirituality has been accumulated, it can integrate spirituality through the Dragon Walking Secret Method and make the final leap."

"Of course, walking on water is a common method used by dragons, but it is not the only one."

As Jiang Chen watched the direction where Rat Tianjiao had left, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

“Du Zhong, you go and talk to those cultivation families on my behalf. If they are willing to make offerings to me, I can give them some protection.”

With a low voice, Jiang Chen gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Du Zhong, who had just been summoned, was taken aback. He had considered that Jiang Chen was expanding his power to deal with the Yellow Wind Church, but he never expected that Jiang Chen would choose to recruit those cultivation families, since there was a natural barrier between humans and demons.

However, it is merely offering sacrifices, not submission. This is not impossible, since those cultivation families have no other way to go. If they can obtain the protection of the dragon by offering sacrifices, it would be a good thing. Consider it as spending money to avert disaster.

"Ok?"

Sensing Du Zhong's hesitation, Jiang Chen lowered his gaze.

Feeling Jiang Chen's gaze, Du Zhong immediately came back to his senses.

"Yes, King Jiao, I will take care of it immediately. The Du family has good relations with several families before, and I will use this as a breakthrough to achieve good results as soon as possible."

"At this time, the Yellow Wind Sect is rampant, and those cultivation families are filled with fear. Even if they keep those treasures hidden, they are of no use. I will make them bring them out as much as possible. I think they will make a wise choice between the treasures and their family heritage."

With a deep, resonant voice, Du Zhong immediately explained his plans.

At this moment, he couldn't help but admire the wisdom of his own dragon king, who had come up with such a way to take advantage of the chaos. Once successful, he could immediately reap huge profits. Although it wasn't as direct as robbing by force, this subtle approach was more sustainable and less risky.

As for offending the Yellow Wind Cult, that doesn't matter at all, since Yanqiu and the Yellow Wind Cult are already on opposite sides.

Hearing this, and seeing Du Zhong like this, Jiang Chen remained silent for a moment, and said nothing more.

He had Du Zhong contact those families of spiritual practitioners and have them worship him, but in reality, it was more for fame. He wanted to gather spiritual energy in this way, but it would be even better if he could gain both fame and fortune.

"This is the Crimson Flame Bracelet, a mid-grade magic artifact I obtained from the dealer. Take it and refine it. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

With a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Chen presented a bracelet to Du Zhong. It was made of flaming iron and exuded a fiery aura.

Upon hearing this, Du Zhong was startled.

"Yes, King Jiao."

After a slight hesitation, Du Zhong accepted the bracelet. For him now, a mid-grade magic artifact was a rare treasure, not to mention that the Crimson Flame Bracelet could gather fire energy, which would be of great help to his daily cultivation.
