Chapter 467

He was one step closer to the Realm of Heavenly Immortal.

Then,

he stretched out his palm, and a pill, glowing red all over, appeared in his hand without any warning; at the same time, the entire Ninth Layer of Dengtiange was filled with a faint, delicate fragrance.

Even Jiang Chen,

upon catching this scent, could not help but take a deep breath.

In an instant,

Jiang Chen felt a sudden clarity and refreshment, his whole body wrapped in an indescribable comfort, as if he had grown several years younger all at once.

As for the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, Jiang Chen naturally knew of it — it was the unique miraculous pill of Huang Yaoshi of Taohuadao; after taking it, not only could one refresh the mind and sharpen the wits, it was rumored it could even prolong one's life.

Jiang Chen did not know whether the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills refined by Huang Yaoshi truly had such an effect, but the one now in his hand truly did!

Not only that,

but in Jiang Chen's eyes, its effect could be called heaven-defying!

This enhanced version of the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill before him could actually extend one's lifespan — and by no small amount, a full ten years!

In other words,

even a person whose time had run out, if they took this pill, could live another ten years!

Most crucially,

after taking this Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, the same person could still continue to take more; although the effect would not be as good as the first pill, it could still extend their lifespan.

According to the system's description,

only after consecutively taking about ten pills would the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill completely lose its efficacy.

But these ten pills alone could extend one's lifespan by at least fifty years!

Looking at the pill in his hand,

a flash of joy crossed Jiang Chen's eyes. First there was the Mending Heaven Pill that could enhance talent, and now an enhanced version of the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill — Jiang Chen no longer had to worry that Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo and the others would be unable to break through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm.

In a certain sense,

the lifespan-extending Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill was even more important than the Mending Heaven Pill!

The only slight pity was that the conditions for refining this Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill were far more demanding than those for the Mending Heaven Pill.

Refining the Mending Heaven Pill only required gathering the medicinal ingredients, and one could refine it at any time.

But this Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, even with all the ingredients on hand, required at least a year to refine.

Looking at the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, no larger than a soybean, in his palm, Jiang Chen could not help but think of the Cold Fragrance Pill taken by Xue Baochai in Dream of the Red Chamber.

Jiang Chen placed the pill back into the system space.

There were only three; although he himself had no use for them, they might come in handy later — for instance, to bribe Huang Yaoshi...

· ·Begging for flowers···· ····

Thinking of this,

Jiang Chen could not help but smile.

As for Huang Yaoshi, even if the other party did not agree to let Huang Rong be with him, he had long since thought of a countermeasure.

Speaking of which, among the various great dynasties,

if one were to ask which place's jianghu valued loyalty and filial piety the most, it would undoubtedly be the Great Song Dynasty.

Huang Yaoshi might not possess the great spirit of a true hero like Guo Jing — one who serves the country and its people — but he likewise greatly respected the loyal and the filial; were it not so, he would not have stayed in Xiangyang City to resist the Mongol Yuan kingdom alongside the many jianghu warriors of righteousness.

Moreover,

Jiang Chen also knew that Huang Yaoshi did not actually place much value on traditional rites and teachings — he was even somewhat repelled by them.

Therefore,

in truth, even if he did nothing, as long as Huang Rong persisted, Huang Yaoshi would ultimately have no recourse against her and could only compromise.

But Jiang Chen, as a man, how could he possibly let Huang Rong face this matter alone.

So he had long since thought of how to curry more favor with Huang Yaoshi.

As for how to curry favor,

Jiang Chen had naturally long since figured it out in his heart.

If one were to ask what Huang Yaoshi currently cared about most besides Huang Rong, it would undoubtedly be Xiangyang City.

It could even be said that if Huang Yaoshi were forced to choose between breaking through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm and holding Xiangyang City, Jiang Chen would even suspect that Huang Yaoshi would most likely choose Xiangyang City.

And as for how to help Xiangyang City break out of its predicament, for Jiang Chen it was naturally no difficult matter.

In any case, he had recently been planning to take Li Li Hanyi and Brother Sikong Brother Sikong Qianluo and the others on a trip to the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course,

before setting out, he still had to wait for Xiao Longnu and Li Mochou to challenge Dengtiange a few more times — after all, who knew when they would come over again after returning to the Ancient Tomb this time.
