Chapter 780: 780

The news that Young Master Shenji had been killed spread quickly around the Three Middle Realms .

Like last time, it created a great disturbance, because it was a heroic undertaking that Jiang Chen, a Celestial Venerable in the preliminary stage, had killed one in the late stage, and he was also a follower of the Martial Sovereign .

It suddenly dawned on people why Jiang Chen was so great . A Martial Sovereign’s follower certainly had to be great .

Jiang Chen didn’t try to clarify this misunderstanding . He even preferred that others saw him this way . This way, he would have a justifiable reason if he exerted some method or secret skill in the future .

There were less than three months left to go until the Title Battle . Jiang Chen had just become a Celestial Venerable . Since he needed more time to get used to his new strength, he wouldn’t make any big improvements for the moment .

As a result, he wasn’t very confident about the Title Battle .

It wasn’t Jiang Zhe or his other future rivals that made him unconfident—he was just afraid that he wouldn’t be the most brilliant star in the Title Battle . Since his apprentice sister could show up, Jiang Chen needed this confidence, even if it was false .

Let nature take its course . Maybe those talented Spirits aren’t as great as they’re said to be . Besides, I have the evil flame .

Jiang Chen estimated that it was already time for him to go to the Elixir Association to finish what he had promised .

Before leaving, he went to say goodbye to Venerable Fengyu . The latter said, “Are you going to the Three Emperor Territory?”

“Yes . “

“What a coincidence . I would like to ask you for a favor . “

“Just tell me, master . ” Jiang Chen shook his head with a bitter smile . Ever since he had announced to the world that he was a follower of the Flame Emperor, the treatment he received was completely different . Even Venerable Fengyu was more courteous to him .

“Haha . Okay . I’ll stop beating about the bush then . ” Venerable Fengyu told Jiang Chen about the favor he wanted to ask .

He had wanted to ask this favor when he had seen Jiang Chen save lives through acupuncture . “I have a good friend in the Three Emperor Territory . Something went wrong when he was practicing . He has been haunted by this problem for years . No elixirs or doctors can help him . I hope you can pay him a visit . “

Venerable Fengyu continued, “Even if in the end, you draw the conclusion that it’s an untreatable problem, it will be okay . Just pay him a visit, if you have the time . If you don’t have the time, just go ahead with your business . “

“Master, I will certainly go . “

Jiang Chen had no reason to decline him . He had been feeling guilty about the palm attack that Venerable Fengyu had received from the Ping Tian Martial Emperor . He had always wanted to do something for Venerable Fengyu to pay him back .

“Great . I’ll write a letter to him right away . Just go there directly when you arrive . “

Then Jiang Chen visited the Fengyu Duo to say goodbye to them .

“So, see you at the Title Battle,” Zhou Jianfeng said .

“Sure . ” Glancing at the Fengyu Duo, Jiang Chen found they were only one step away from Celestial Venerables . There was a good chance that they would see a breakthrough in the Title Battle .

“I have a sword method that’s meant to be practiced by two people, and it will work better for you since you two are complementary . Try it after you become Celestial Venerables,” Jiang Chen said .

“How can we take your sword method?” The Fengyu Duo was interested, but still, they declined him with good intentions .

“Are you for real? It belonged to the Flame Emperor . It has to be practiced by two people . I won’t need it anyway,” Jiang Chen said .

The Fengyu Duo’s eyes lit up when they heard that it had belonged to the Martial Sovereign . They were eager to have a look at it .

Jiang Chen took out the sword method that he had written down a long time ago . Written on the cover was the name of the sword method: Two Rites Divine Sword Method .

The Fengyu Duo took it and turned over a few leaves excitedly . Their eyes were caught right away . They just couldn’t stop reading it .

“Amazing . This sword method is amazing . “

They didn’t know how much time had passed, but when Zhou Jianfeng lifted his head, he found Jiang Chen had left .

. . .

Jiang Chen left the Cliff Mountain . Grasping the Heaven Alchemist badge in hand, burning flames appeared in his palm .

The badge that looked like a silver coin absorbed all of the flames . Before long, Yang Jingchi came up to him in an airship .

Besides him, the elders of the Elixir Association and the great Venerables responsible for protecting them were also on the ship .

“You never fail to amaze the world, no matter what disguise you wear,” Yang Jingchi said in a teasing tone . Apparently, he had heard about what had happened to Young Master Shenji .

“Young Master Shenji asked for it . It wasn’t my fault . ” Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen expressed how little he could do .

“Hahaha, I’ve never seen a person good at both martial arts techniques and elixir refinement . People who work on both usually aren’t an expert of either,” Yang Jingchi said, laughing .

The stronger Jiang Chen was, the happier he felt, because it was he who had discovered Jiang Chen, and it was also he who had recruited the latter into the Elixir Association .

As the president of the Elixir Association of Wing Prefecture, he wouldn’t have had the chance to take care of Jiang Chen during the competition, but since they knew each other, this task had been assigned to him .

If everything went smoothly, this task would help Yang Jingchi be transferred to the division of the Elixir Association of Nine Territories, which would be a promotion .

“How will the competition between the Elixir Fire Union and the Elixir Association go?” Jiang Chen asked with much curiosity .

The competition among alchemists was different from that among practitioners . It wasn’t easy to decide who the winner was .

Since the process of elixir refinement was under the influence of Qi, it wasn’t really fair to decide the result only by elixirs . Sometimes if they had another round, the result could be the complete opposite .

“I thought you would have asked about the Title Battle first,” Yang Jingchi said with interest .

“One thing at a time . But since President Yang has brought it up, let’s talk about it . “

In fact, Jiang Chen knew about the Title Battle, but others thought he didn’t, so he had to pretend he knew nothing about it . His visit to the Three Middle Realms in his previous life had been exactly to collect information about the Title Battle .

The Title Battle had a long history that could even be compared to the Sacred Institute of the Nine Realms . Regarding the Title Battle, it was inevitable to mention the Title Palace, because it was at the Title Palace that the Title Battle started .

Not belonging to any force, it was the most ancient and best-kept building in the Nine Realms . It was said that its start could be traced back to when the world had still been intact, and the Nine Realms hadn’t come into existence .

According to the research of some forefathers, the Title Palace had once been used to confer titles on the disciples of the force that existed then . It was for conferring the title of duke or kinds of military ranks in a dynasty .

However, for practitioners, the titles conferred by the Title Palace mattered more, like titles such as Sword King, Sword God, and Sword Saint . It wasn’t just for fun that people were so keen on getting these titles .

The force to which the Title Palace had belonged was the oldest and most powerful before the start of the Nine Realms . Its remains could still be found all over the Nine Realms .

Those who had those titles would get instructions similar to a map that would take them to explore the remains . The more advanced one’s titles were, the more detailed the instructions were .

All of the forces hoped their disciples would be titled, and the Eight Spirits even offered all kinds of privileges to titled practitioners .

Since the Title Palace existed to confer titles to up-and-coming youngsters, only people whose state was below great Venerable could take part in it . What Yang Jingchi told Jiang Chen was more or less the same as what he had already known .

However, Yang Jingchi thought it was thanks to him that Jiang Chen had learned about the Title Battle so well .

“If you can win a top-grade title, your name will be known throughout the whole Three Middle Realms . No one will doubt your abilities anymore,” Yang Jingchi said .

“Hopefully,” Jiang Chen said, smiling . However, he had as much wildness in his eyes as other youngsters .
