339. Chapter 339 True Martial

It includes even more advanced True Martial.

Compared with Heaven Martial, True Martial can open more acupoints, more comprehensively, and among them are external rare points; although they are extremely scarce, once opened, the boost far exceeds that of other acupoints.

Moreover, it is said that some powerful Secret Martial Arts require opening specific acupoints before they can be cultivated; these Secret Martial techniques involve the use of energy, allowing one to convert the Force within the acupoints into attribute‑bearing energy that adheres to the body and weapons.

Thus its destructive power and attack range far surpass ordinary martial techniques, but if the corresponding acupoints are not opened and one forces its use, not only is the power weak, it also easily harms the user.

The price of ordinary Heaven Martial ranges from one million to ten million.

The price of True Martial is probably around several tens of millions.

With his current monthly income, buying a True Martial is more than enough.

Thinking of that, Jiang Cheng couldn't stop the upward curl of his mouth.

The only drawback is.

Even earning a hundred million a month is still insufficient when it comes to the money needed to boost Spiritual Power.

To raise the Gold Bell Visualization Method to Entry level requires an investment of seven to eight hundred million; he would have to toil in alchemy for over half a year to achieve it.

"If only I could refine Awakening Pills, that would be great."

At this thought, Jiang Cheng let out a sigh.

A basic Awakening Pill costs one hundred thousand each.

If it's top‑grade, it can reach one million! One furnace of top‑grade Awakening Pills has a market price of ten million; even if he can only refine three furnaces per day, with the same profit share, he can earn about twelve million per day, which over a month is over three hundred million! What a speed!

What a pity.

Gu Zhangkong also made it clear that, at present, he cannot muster a cost of one to two billion, and moreover, he is eager to see results, so attempting to refine Awakening Pills in a short time is out of the question.

Turning to Gu Zhangjun? Not everyone is as easy‑going as Gu Zhangkong, willing to give up so much profit.

He even suspects that after Gu Zhangjun trains him, he will turn him into a mere alchemy tool, trying to squeeze his value every second.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Jiang Cheng sighed.

There is currently no other way.

……

Two more days passed, and within the Dawn Society, Bing Li listened to the report from the man beside him, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes before he blurted out:

"He didn't die?"

After being expelled from the ward that day, he called Jin Xinpeng, using the opportunity of reporting Tian Lan's injury to inquire about the mission.

The latter said, "You don't need to handle this," and hung up.

He first felt joy upon hearing that, but then thought it was off, because if the mission were completed, the leader would simply announce it.

Yet the result was that he didn't need to handle it.

This suggests that some variable likely arose; combined with Tian Lan's situation that day, the mission probably failed.

Puzzled, he dared not say more, and after a few days sent someone to inquire what actually happened.

"Hmm."

The man beside him wore a solemn expression.

"Although that day the Black Market lost a few people, they all died while blocking Tian Lan; the person he assassinated did not die. In other words, Jiang Cheng is still alive and well."

"How could this be!"

Bing Li's complexion turned ashen.

"Even if he is a senior Force Warrior, how could Tian Lan's attack leave any chance of survival?"

"I'm not sure about that," the man shook his head, "I've also wondered whether Tian Lan targeted the wrong person, but thinking carefully, that possibility seems small. After all, he infiltrated for many days and acted directly in the alchemy room, a place full of people; without absolute certainty he wouldn't do it. Bing Li, could there be a possibility that Jiang Cheng's true strength far exceeds our imagination?"

He understood the meaning behind his companion's words.

Tian Lan is already, within the Society, the top master aside from the leader.

Even he wasn't successfully assassinated.

Could it be that Jiang Cheng's strength surpasses Tian Lan's?

A Level 10 Force Warrior? "Impossible!"

The next second, Bing Li, emotionally agitated, denied, "No matter how deep he hides, he couldn't be hidden to this extent. Moreover, if he were truly that powerful, why would he have fled in cowardice at that time?"

"That's true."

The companion nodded.

If Jiang Cheng truly possesses Level 10 Force Warrior strength.

Then there would be no need to fear even a few of them, and even the leader of their own society would have to be courteous upon seeing him.

"In my view, he must have some extraordinary treasure on him; even the attacks of a Ninth-level Spiritual Thought Master can be blocked."

Bing Li squinted.

"Even able to block a Ninth-level Spiritual Thought Master's attack? Then it must be at least a high‑grade Third‑grade defensive treasure, perhaps even top‑grade Third‑grade?"

The man exclaimed.

They in the Dawn Society have only a few of such items, let alone him.

Ordinary people can only purchase them from the Black Market, but the price is terrifying; if it's top‑grade Third‑grade, it still costs a few ten‑million.

He doesn't think Jiang Cheng could afford it.

Therefore, there is only one explanation: the Black Market gave it to him.

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously thinking of this point.

But immediately, a greater confusion struck.

A traitor, even if a Seven-level Force Warrior, has no reason to be valued so highly by the Black Market, right? What crucial information is still hidden here? Actually, the two don't need to guess here; just ask Tian Lan and they'll know the general situation.

But judging from the situation of the past few days, the latter wishes he could strangle them to death.

"Bing Li, in my opinion, since the President told us not to interfere in this matter anymore, we should stop worrying about it, right?"

The man let out a long sigh.

"After all, even Tian Lan suffered a loss at the other side's hands; as for the two of us, there's no need to say more."

Bing Li remained silent, merely clenching his fists.

He is unwilling!

Unwilling to just watch a traitor live well.

Besides being unwilling, there is also deep regret.

Not long ago, killing the other party was as easy as stepping on an ant on the ground; but only a short time has passed, and the other party has already grown to the point where he feels somewhat helpless.

If we let him continue to grow...

"Will there be a day when he can easily trample himself like stepping on an ant? "No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!""

Thinking of this, Bing Li frantically shook his head.

Right now I can't do anything to him, merely because he is in the Black Market, under its protection; but if he dares to come out, I have a hundred ways to kill him! (End of chapter)
