Chapter 359: Give Up That Thought of Dying

359. Chapter 359: Just give up that thought of dying

Night.

In the Lian Dan Shi.

Just like a few days ago, Jiang Cheng and Yang Chun were counting the pills refined today.

Neither more nor less, exactly ten bottles of Top Grade An Shen Pill.

In fact, with Jiang Cheng's Spiritual Power, he could refine a few more batches, but that would inevitably cut down the time spent on cultivation, making it somewhat not worth it.

"Thanks for your hard work, little brother."

Yang Chun collected the pills and enthusiastically patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder.

"You're being polite, big brother, this is within my duties, not a matter of hard work or not," Jiang Cheng smiled.

Yang Chun laughed heartily.

He looked around, then leaned close to Jiang Cheng's ear and whispered, "Little brother, I know you're refining these Second-grade Material pills, which is a bit dull, but tomorrow a surprise awaits you."

"?"

Curiosity flickered in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

Yang Chun withdrew again.

"Anyway, you'll find out tomorrow. Now, it's getting late; go back and rest early."

After speaking, he patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder again.

Jiang Cheng watched his departing back, wanting to grab him and ask what the surprise actually was.

Seeing his expression, he knew he wouldn't say.

"Could it be that I'm to start refining Third-grade Awakening Pills?"

A bold thought surfaced in Jiang Cheng's mind, but it seemed unlikely.

Having been here for several months, he also knew that Gu Zhangkong at the Gu Family is not highly regarded; being able to produce one or two hundred million is already his limit.

He thought for a moment and could only shake his head.

He hates those who start riddles and stop halfway.

He returned home.

Jiang Cheng saw Xu Jing again.

He was no longer surprised.

Although the latter tried to talk to him, bridging the gap between them.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Lin Yue ran up to him, excitement on her face, and said, "I sensed the Force!"

"You sensed the Force?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

"Hmm!"

Lin Yue nodded heavily, then couldn't wait to demonstrate.

Under her deliberate control, some Force Light Points around gathered toward her body.

Although they weren't absorbed into her body, it was enough to show she truly sensed the Force.

"Not bad, not bad."

A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Cheng's face.

Even though Lin Yue took a bit longer—almost two months in total—many people, even with more time, cannot achieve this.

"Xiao Yue, what reward do you want?"

"No need."

Lin Yue shook her head, "Jiang Cheng, you've taken great care of me. From now on, I'll keep working hard to become a Level One Force Warrior. By the way, Jiang Cheng, I can sense the Force, thanks also to Sister Jing's guidance."

She turned and glanced at Xu Jing.

"These days, Sister Jing has been constantly guiding me, even neglecting her own cultivation."

Xu Jing smiled, shook her head, and said, "Xiao Yue is exaggerating; I only give occasional pointers. Sensing the Force is her own achievement."

"No, that's not—" Lin Yue hurriedly explained.

"Alright."

Jiang Cheng smiled, interrupted her, and looked at Xu Jing, "My time guiding Xiao Yue is limited; her ability to sense the Force truly owes to your help."

Xu Jing heard this, said she hadn't, but was secretly delighted.

Indeed. Without Jiang Cheng, she couldn't have spent so much time and effort on such an unrelated person.

"How about this: after you go back, tell your grandfather to come find me tomorrow. I can let him observe from beside me, and any questions he has can be raised."

"Thank you, Master Jiang. After I go back, I'll tell my grandfather; I'm sure the old man will know and will be so excited that he won't be able to sleep that night," Xu Jing hurriedly said, "but..."

"But what?"

"Master Jiang, I'm also interested in refining alchemy; could I also observe tomorrow?" Xu Jing's eyes were full of pleading.

"As you wish."

Jiang Cheng saw what she was thinking.

But taking him as a disciple is absolutely impossible.

Meanwhile.

In a villa not far away.

Gu Zhangkong held a glass of red wine, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the scene inside the complex, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Right after he finished that call, the family quickly sent someone with Awakening Pill ingredients worth two billion.

At this moment, he could already picture the surprised expression on Jiang Cheng's face tomorrow morning when he learns the news.

If Jiang Cheng were to bring the Awakening Pill technique to perfection, the daily profit it would bring, he wouldn't even dare imagine.

Even if at that time he could only stay here, it wouldn't matter, because with enough money he could buy all kinds of Cultivation Resources.

Just then, the phone on the coffee table beside him rang.

Gu Zhangkong frowned slightly, reached for the phone, and upon seeing the caller, his brow furrowed even tighter.

Annoying fly.

He muttered a line and answered.

"Third elder brother, it's me. Calling you this late—did I disturb you?"

Gu Zhangjun's voice sounded.

"It's fine."

Gu Zhangkong, expressionless, said, "Fifth junior brother, calling me this late shouldn't be just to exchange a few words, right?"

"Hahaha, third elder brother, you're really sharp, guessed it instantly. Yes, I'm calling to congratulate you—no mistake, that Jiang brother truly is a genius, having perfected the Calming Pill Alchemy Technique."

"Fifth junior brother's information is very well‑connected."

Gu Zhangkong hummed and said.

The last time he had just removed Gu Zhangjun's eyes here, and now this is arranged again.

"Not at all."

Gu Zhangjun laughed heartily.

"Third elder brother, as for me, I still want to borrow that person from you for a while…"

"I recall last time you said he was a waste, right?"

Gu Zhangkong cut him off.

"Hehe, isn't that being foolish?"

Gu Zhangjun gave an awkward smile.

"Third elder brother, please be kind and hand that person over to me; saying something that might displease you, keeping him with you is a bit wasteful."

Gu Zhangkong laughed in anger.

"So you mean, sending him to you would no longer waste talent?"

"Exactly."

Gu Zhangjun said proudly, "Third elder brother, you, my fifth junior brother, we have nothing else, but plenty of money; he is here with you, at most he can refine Second‑grade Material pills, but if he comes to me, I can have him refine Third‑grade Material pills."

"Is that so?"

Gu Zhangkong sneered.

"What if I could do it here as well?"

"What? You?"

Gu Zhangjun was startled, then snorted and said, "Third elder brother, you're not joking with me, right? It's not that I look down on you; can you actually produce that much money?"

"That's none of your business. In any case, I will never hand that person over to you; you can just give up on that idea." Gu Zhangkong, too lazy for further politeness, hung up directly. (End of chapter)
