The Brilliant Fighting Master Chapter 10

Chapter 10
The method Jiang Chen was going to practice was called the "Devouring Sky Formula . " It was easy to tell by its name that it's a sky level method . The method this body practiced before was only a black level .
I believe I can achieve the Gathering Yuan State with the help of this sky level method .
"Young Master, I've brought you the Gathering Qi Pill . " A maid came to him with a jade bottle in her hand . Not until this moment did Jiang Chen recall that this was the award of the winter hunt . Five Gathering Qi Pills for five general level beasts .
"Just in time . Give it to me . "
Panaceas have seven classes, from one to seven—the higher the better . The Gathering Qi Pill was class one . In the Sacred Zone only children from poor families would take it . But from the reaction of the Jiang Mansion, it seemed this ordinary class one panacea was a precious resource .
"Hum . " Jiang Chen took the bottle, tipped one pill onto his palm and frowned . "Who is in charge of refining panaceas in the mansion?"
"Young Master, how noble those alchemists are! It's impossible for the Jiang Mansion to have them . We usually prepare medicinal materials by ourselves and then go to the Whitewater City to invite an alchemist over to help us refine panaceas . "
"I see . "
Powerful forces needed huge amounts of panaceas, so they usually had their own alchemist . But the Jiang Mansion didn't have one and had to employ one from outside . They must have spent lots of money on that .
Nevertheless, the alchemist they employed wasn't good at all . Maybe he was just irresponsible because the alchemist didn't have to worry about the materials, and he had already gotten paid, so he just allowed himself to do a bad job .
Jiang Chen could tell just from one look how many raw materials of the five Gathering Qi Pills in his palm could have been used to refine class two panaceas . It was a waste to have used these materials to refine class one panaceas . Of course, the advantage of doing so was that the success rate of panacea refining could be guaranteed .

People of the Jiang Mansion totally had no idea of this . They were appreciating the alchemist even though they were cheated .
Was it simply because he was unskilled that he used higher-class materials to refine or was he making fun of the Jiang Mansion? Probably the former, since the latter did the alchemist no good . It's such a waste to take these pills .
Jiang Chen felt it was necessary to do something . He told the maid, "Fetch me a basin of water . I want well water . "
"Sure . "
The maid didn't know what he was going to do, but she didn't hesitate . Soon a basin of fresh water was brought to Jiang Chen . Jiang Chen closed his fist with the five Gathering Qi Pills in his palm and put the hand into the water . With his eyes closed, he started to guide the spirits of the universe to gather in his fist .
Little by little, his palm started to glisten weakly . In the meantime, there were precipitates overflowing through his five fingers . When he finished, the pills in his hand became one size smaller, as though a layer of useless impurities had been removed .
How easy it is!
Jiang Chen didn't turn them into class two panaceas, since that would require an ability to refine out of thin air . He only enhanced the quality of the panaceas . The quality of each class of panaceas differs by the ability of alchemists and the quality of medicinal materials . For example, first-class average panacea, first-class super panacea, first-class genuine panacea and first-class holy panacea .
Although the alchemist misused the materials, he refined the average panaceas successfully . Jiang Chen enhanced them to the super class, one of them even genuine class . Jiang Chen, who was about to enhance his state, was delighted to see this result .
…
Seven days later, Jiang Chen, who locked himself in his room to practice, smiled knowingly when he heard horses whinnying from the yard . Then he heard Fan Tu's cheerful laugh .
Fan Tu pushed the door open to let himself in . He said, "Hahaha, Young Master, the fist method you gave me is amazing . I punched the hell out of that Li Hong only by a smattering practice of it . "

Jiang Chen wasn't surprised to hear it .
"One hundred Fiery Dragon Horses . Now we have something to boast . And the winter life will be much easier . " Fan Tu started to admire his young master .
"Uncle Fan, pick a good one for me . I happen to be in need of a mount . "
"No problem . Trust me . I'll pick a good one for you . " Fan Tu thumped his chest to assure him and went to pick a horse right away .
He heard another piece of news in the afternoon . Gao Yue, who went to ask for help, had come back . Hopefully there is some good news, Jiang Chen thought .
Jiang Chen went to the main hall of the east courtyard to receive Gao Yue . He knew right away that things didn't go well when he saw Gao Yue's face .
Mother is so easy to read . Jiang Chen asked while he was thinking, "What happened, mother?"
Gao Yue would rather not tell him . She looked sad, angered, and extremely helpless, "Son, your mother is so useless . Alas!"
Jiang Chen knew that his mother was lachrymose . Fortunately the maid Cher couldn't keep a secret .
"Cher, you tell me . "
"Young Master, the Su's are so loathsome!"
As expected, Cher couldn't hold herself anymore and erupted in angry words . She started to accuse the Su's . It shouldn't have been a difficult thing for Gao Yue to ask for the Su's help .
"At first we didn't see the lord of the Su Mansion . Su Qian took us to a side hall and we waited there for a full hour . Then a man came and claimed that he was Su Qian's boyfriend . He asked us not to trouble Su Qian and said that the current east courtyard was casting beyond the moon . At first, Lady and I thought Su Qian came up with this idea because she wanted a disengagement . So we wanted to meet the lord of the Su Mansion so that we could talk it over and keep on good terms . However, that Su Qian drove us out of the door directly!"
Su Qian was Jiang Chen's fiancée . That woman used to show much respect to Gao Yue when she came to the Jiang Mansion and used to be a sugar sweet girl . The way in which she treated Gao Yue only proved this saying: cats hide their claws .
The Su's wanted Jiang Chen to be their son-in-law since he had a powerful father and was the Jiang Mansion's successor . But by then, he had lost one of them, and was losing the other . The Su's were not fools . How would it be possible for them to marry their daughter to Jiang Chen? It was logical that this had happened .
Jiang Chen felt very sorrowful when he heard his mother not only failed to get help, but also got humiliated . It was fine for them to be mean, but they were too heartless .
"In the end you didn't see the lord of the Su Mansion?"
"No . But their lord sent us two letters on our way back . It says in one letter that Su Qian is too young to be thoughtful and they hope Lady wouldn't mind . But since the cards have been laid on the table, they expect a good ending . As long as we sign the disengagement agreement, they will come to lend us a hand for the sake of the old days . "
Jiang Chen squinted . "The disengagement agreement?"
The engagement was something big . A verbal or a unilateral disengagement didn't count . To break the engagement, it would require the two interested parties to sign the paper .
"So it was not only Su Qian's idea, but the whole Su family's idea . But the Su's are not very powerful in the Hundred Thousand Mountains . Why would they have had the nerve to refuse the Jiang Mansion in such a terrible manner?" This was what Jiang Chen didn't understand .
"Young Master, Su Qian also celebrated her Pulse Invigorating Ceremony . It turned out she had great potential . Many powerful forces and powerful people have offered them the olive branch . The Su's are rising rapidly . "
"Cher!" The silent Gao Yue suddenly shouted at her .
Jiang Chen was confused about his mother's reaction for a second and then realized why . "Doesn't matter . Even if she has the holy pulse, I won't mind . "
