Free Web NovelChapter 2654: Chapter 2657: You’re Explaining It to Him?
"Jiang Chen, the rewards for this grand competition are extremely important. If you can, you must get into the top three!"
Su Qingluan spoke solemnly.
"What rewards?"
Jiang Chen raised his brows slightly and asked in a low voice.
"For this grand competition, everything else is secondary. The most important thing is that all three in the top can obtain a Battle Array Formation Diagram!"
Su Qingluan said in a deep voice.
"A Battle Array Formation Diagram?"
Jiang Chen looked at Su Qingluan in surprise.
"Yes. I know you once bid for a Formation Diagram of the Five Elements Emperor Slayer Array. You didn’t bid on it just because you’re an Array Master, did you?"
Su Qingluan probed.
"Right. I once led people to form a battle array back in my hometown. I bought that diagram because I wanted to see how this battle array differs from the ones I’ve mastered."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"So? Have you figured it out? Can you set it up?"
Su Qingluan looked at Jiang Chen with anticipation.
"I can. It’s just that I never had a suitable opportunity before, nor people who met the conditions for arranging the array."
Jiang Chen nodded to confirm.
"Now you do!"
Su Qingluan said joyfully, "Once we’re on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, War Array Masters are the most sought-after profession. Any War Array Master on the battlefield is at least a Centurion, even a Chiliarch. With the density of your Primordial Spirit Condensation, controlling a Thousand-Man Battle Formation is no problem. That way, your safety on the battlefield will be greatly guaranteed—everyone will prioritize protecting the War Array Master!"
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up at her words.
What he thought of wasn’t protecting himself, but the importance of a War Array Master on the battlefield.
Back on Yuan Star, he was part of the top-end combat power, with or without a battle array amplification it hardly made a difference. But the Extraterritorial Battlefield is all about confrontations between those of the same realm, and clashes between huge numbers of soldiers.
If he could control a Thousand-Man Battle Formation, then he really could influence the outcome of a war.
As for the Extraterritorial Alien Race, Jiang Chen utterly loathed them. If he had a chance to slaughter more of them, he definitely wouldn’t let it slip by!
"Alright, I’ll take one of the top three!"
Jiang Chen nodded heavily.
"How many Spiritual Seals can you condense now?"
Su Qingluan asked softly.
"About four hundred and seventy plus."
Jiang Chen said quietly.
Condensing Spiritual Seals required Primordial Spirit Power. His Primordial Spirit Power was incredibly refined, and coupled with the enhancement from the Abandoned Plains and his training with Spiritual Seals, Jiang Chen felt he should be able to condense about that many!
"Freak!"
Su Qingpeng, who hadn’t spoken the whole time, suddenly squeezed out a sentence.
There was a flash of strange light in Su Qingluan’s eyes as well, then she said softly, "Even though your progress is already very fast, I’m afraid it’s still not enough."
After pausing for a moment, Su Qingluan said quietly, "From what I know, Zuo Qingfei of the Zuo Clan has been brought over from their branch family and is being heavily cultivated. He can already condense over a thousand Spiritual Seals. Chen Qianyu of the Chen Family can also condense over a thousand Spiritual Seals. And some of the older generation are basically all Thousand-Seal Grandmasters. If you want to rely on just a bit over four hundred seals to take a top-three spot, I’m afraid it won’t be easy!"
"This..."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, then thought of something. "In that case, I’ll compete on speed."
"Not completely dumb."
Su Qingluan chuckled lightly. "Although you can condense fewer Spiritual Seals, your array-setting speed is indeed fast, and the power of the Formations you lay down isn’t weak. When you’re defending an array, that’s one thing, but in the third round, this will be your trump card. So in the first two rounds you absolutely cannot expose your advantage in array-setting speed!"
Jiang Chen nodded lightly.
"There’s one more thing. I heard the rewards for the Alchemy Dao grand competition this time are Solidifying Elixir, Spirit-Infusing Pill, and Bodhi Nurturing Divine Saliva?"
Su Qingluan said with a smile.
Jiang Chen nodded again.
"Solidifying Elixir is used to consolidate the Primordial Spirit. That one is for after you’ve condensed your Primordial Spirit to take. The Spirit-Infusing Pill they’re rewarding shouldn’t be that Fourth-Grade Elixir Spirit-Infusing Pill, but an Eighth-Grade Elixir, the Spirit Nurturing Divine Pill. This Elixir can instantly restore all Spiritual Power for a Integration Realm Peak expert. As for Bodhi Nurturing Divine Saliva, that’s something you can use right now."
Su Qingluan helped explain the Elixirs awarded to the Alchemy Dao grand competition champion, then smiled and said, "This Spiritual Medicine is the main ingredient for the Ninth Grade Dao Elixir Divine Primordial Elixir. It can expand the density of the Primordial Spirit—this isn’t about refinement level, but about its thickness and abundance."
At her words, Jiang Chen and the others all gave Su Qingluan a rather odd look. Lei Ling’er and Su Qingpeng tried several times to speak but held back.
"For example, if a person’s Primordial Spirit’s thickness is ten, then no matter how they temper it, it’s still ten. But your Primordial Spirit’s thickness is already high to begin with. If you use this Bodhi Nurturing Divine Saliva to boost your Primordial Spirit density, it might increase from ten to thirty, or even fifty."
Su Qingluan didn’t notice the others’ strange expressions and went on enthusiastically, "That way, the number of Spiritual Seals you can condense will increase. Paired with your array-setting speed, it’s very possible you can reach a thousand seals. Add in those one-time offensive Formations you’ve mastered, and getting into the top three isn’t impossible!"
Holding back his laughter, Jiang Chen said, "Okay!"
Su Qingluan froze for a moment, swept her gaze over everyone, noticed their odd expressions, and asked blankly, "What is it?"
"Elder Su, Brother Jiang Chen is a Seventh-Grade Alchemy Grandmaster. And you’re explaining the uses of Elixirs and Spiritual Medicine to him?"
Lei Ling’er spoke in a strange tone.
Su Qingluan suddenly realized, her face flushing red. She glared at Jiang Chen, a little ashamed and annoyed. "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and increase your Primordial Spirit density and condense Spiritual Seals, then help me deduce the Ancient Formation—you promised me!"
As soon as she finished, Su Qingluan got up and hurriedly fled the pavilion, her face bright red, her heart filled with shame and irritation. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Pfft!
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha..."
Laughter rang out inside the pavilion.
Su Qingluan being a Formation Dao Grandmaster was true, and she was even a Formation Dao Grandmaster close to the ten-thousand-seal peak. But a Formation Dao Grandmaster explaining the functions of Elixirs and Spiritual Medicine to an Alchemy Dao Grandmaster—this was really a bit like showing off one’s petty skills before an expert.
After laughing for a while, Jiang Chen said quietly, "Alright, everyone stop laughing. I’m heading upstairs to cultivate first. Elder Su is right, I do need to enhance my Primordial Spirit density. My cultivation realm isn’t high enough yet; since I can’t go through Heavenly Tribulation to expand my Primordial Spirit, I can only make do with Spiritual Medicine!"
As he spoke, Jiang Chen walked upstairs.
Reaching the bedroom, Jiang Chen closed the door, set up a simple warning Formation, then went to the bed and sat cross-legged.
With a stretch of his hand, a crystal-clear Jade Vial appeared in his palm. Jiang Chen opened it, and a delicate fragrance immediately wafted out from inside. Jiang Chen instantly felt refreshed and clear-headed.
Inside the Jade Vial were four golden, jelly-like drops. One drop was the reward for the Alchemy Dao championship, and after he refined a Ninth Grade and below Dao-infused Spirit Pill, the Crown Prince rewarded him with three more drops.
Pouring out a drop of Bodhi Nurturing Divine Saliva, Jiang Chen popped it into his mouth, put away the Jade Vial, and closed his eyes to begin refining it.
