Chapter 2437: Chapter 2441: Shocking
Thump thump thump!
As Hu Yiqiu and his disciple were conversing, the sound of footsteps echoed, and two figures appeared at the entrance of the great hall.
"Come over."
Hu Yiqiu swiftly turned his head to look at the two figures, softly calling out.
Everyone turned to look.
Standing at the entrance were two burly youths, one carried a broad heavy sword on his back, the other had a cold expression, with an occasional flash of lightning in his eyes.
These two were Yun Tao and Yan Hu, who had arrived after receiving Hu Yiqiu’s Sound Transmission Jade Slip.
Hu Yiqiu had given the Transmission Jade to Yun Tao, asking him to bring Yan Hu along.
"Greetings, Chancellor, greetings..."
"Greetings..."
The two approached Hu Yiqiu and company, performed a round of salutes, and then looked at Hu Yiqiu.
Taiyuan Chancellor and others also looked over in confusion, not understanding why Hu Yiqiu had summoned these two Divine Infant Realm youths at this moment.
"Yan Hu, have you always been following Young Jiang?"
Hu Yiqiu stared into Yan Hu’s eyes, speaking softly.
Yan Hu was slightly startled, glanced at Jiang Chen who was refining the Spirit Grass, and gently nodded.
"Then you must know him well?"
Hu Yiqiu’s eyes lit up, asking again.
"Yes."
Yan Hu revealed a hint of confusion in his eyes, nodding again, and regarding Jiang Chen, apart from Ye Jingyi and the three women, he knew him best, even better than Jiang Chen’s parents.
"So, just now..."
Hu Yiqiu recounted what had happened earlier, detailing Meng Changde’s words, Meng Youyuan’s actions, Taiyuan Chancellor’s words, his own words, Elder Zhu’s actions, Su Ruoyun’s words, and Jiang Chen’s subsequent reaction.
Everyone looked at Hu Yiqiu in bewilderment, their eyes filled with extreme confusion.
"Based on your understanding of Young Jiang, what is he planning to do?"
Hu Yiqiu anxiously looked at Yan Hu.
Planning to do what?
Everyone paused, glancing at Jiang Chen with surprise, was he planning to do something?
Taiyuan Chancellor slightly furrowed his brows, and also glanced at Jiang Chen, wondering, wasn’t this matter already over? What else was left to do?
After hearing Hu Yiqiu’s recount, Yan Hu fell silent, his expression changing to a look of indifference that perfectly mirrored Jiang Chen’s final expression, even his gaze was identical.
"Is it like this?"
Yan Hu spoke softly, staring straight at Hu Yiqiu.
"Yes, yes, Young Jiang ended up with that expression, that gaze."
Hu Yiqiu nodded repeatedly, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes, figuring that Yan Hu must have guessed something, since he could imitate Jiang Chen’s expression and gaze so vividly.
Yan Hu suddenly sneered, glanced mockingly at Taiyuan Chancellor, then turned to look at Jiang Chen, without uttering another word.
Taiyuan Chancellor was slightly stunned, glanced at Yan Hu in surprise, and lightly furrowed his brows.
What did that kid mean with that look just now?
"Hey, speak up! What is Young Jiang thinking?"
Hu Yiqiu grew impatient, pulling Yan Hu aside.
"Elder Jiu, it would be best to wait for the Young Master to tell you himself, I cannot speak on his behalf."
Yan Hu apologized, glancing at Hu Yiqiu, then turned back to look at Jiang Chen.
"Speak? What speak?"
Hu Yiqiu furrowed his brows, the ominous feeling in his heart grew deeper.
But Yan Hu did not respond further, he merely watched Jiang Chen.
"You..."
Hu Yiqiu showed a hint of anger, then turned it into a sigh, no longer pressing the issue, frowning as he watched Jiang Chen’s back.
Time slowly passed, and the Spiritual Liquid floating before Jiang Chen increased in number, and when it reached over thirty strands, Jiang Chen stopped refining, having gathered enough Spirit Grass for the God Concealing Pill.
"Teacher Sang."
Jiang Chen called out softly, slowly closing his eyes, and began to quietly meditate.
Upon hearing this, Sang Zhenye’s expression became serious, he stepped behind Jiang Chen and sat down cross-legged, waiting patiently.
"What is he going to do?"
"The Spiritual Liquid is already refined; is he really going to try it himself?"
"Why did he summon Elder Sang?"
Everyone was confused by Jiang Chen’s actions, their eyes showing signs of misunderstanding.
"What is this for? Are they planning to refine together? Can you actually refine it?"
Meng Changde mocked with a laugh.
"Be quiet!"
Hu Yiqiu glared at Meng Changde, "Don’t you know not to disturb during alchemy?"
"You..."
Meng Changde’s face changed, angrily glared at Hu Yiqiu, and turned to look at Jiang Chen who had closed his eyes before the Alchemy Cauldron, feeling indignant.
Just wait! I’ll wait for you to beg me, then I will repay the humiliation you and your master experienced!
Heave!
Jiang Chen adjusted his state, exhaled deeply, and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Teacher, Dao Seed!"
Jiang Chen called out in a low voice.
Whoosh!
Sang Zhenye’s expression tightened, he closed his eyes firmly, a bright flame glowed from his brow, and a crystal-like fiery red Dao Seed flew out from his brow, circling Jiang Chen’s head before flying towards his brow.
"This... what are they doing!?"
"Inserting a Dao Seed into another’s Sea of Consciousness? Is Elder Sang really trusting Jiang Chen this much?"
"What does this mean? I can’t understand this at all. Wouldn’t Elder Sang’s Dao Seed burst Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief as they looked at Jiang Chen.
"Little drinker, what are they doing? Can Jiang Chen withstand Elder Sang’s Dao Seed?"
Elder Zhu turned to Hu Yiqiu, asking in a low voice.
"He can."
Hu Yiqiu replied irritably, his gaze still fixed intensely on Jiang Chen.
Elder Zhu showed a hint of surprise, turning to look at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with wonder.
Buzz!
Jiang Chen’s brow trembled, a surge of Divine Sense emerged, absorbing Sang Zhenye’s Dao Seed.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Sea of Consciousness tremored intensely, Jiang Chen quickly closed his eyes, mobilized the suppression power within the blood-red liquid to first suppress Sang Zhenye’s Dao Seed, then Dao Rhythm emerged from the Divine Infant, enveloping the fiery red Dao Seed.
Buzz buzz buzz!
A chaotic aura of Great Dao emanated from Jiang Chen, everyone’s eyes showed a deep confusion.
But before their confused expressions were fully apparent, that chaotic aura of the Great Dao stabilized, transforming into a majestic aura, which was exactly Sang Zhenye’s Great Dao Aura.
"What!?"
"How is this possible?!"
"How did he do that?"
"He has actually controlled Elder Sang’s Dao Seed? How is this possible?!"
Exclamations rang out, everyone looked at Jiang Chen with disbelief, their eyes widening.
Meng Changde’s face changed, seemingly realizing something, his eyes showing a hint of disbelief.
"What is he planning? Is he using Elder Sang’s Dao Seed to refine pills? That’s impossible!"
Meng Changde shouted in astonishment: "Using the power of another’s Dao Seed to refine pills was a technique from Ancient Alchemy Art used by extremely high-level Pill Masters from ancient times, how could he possibly know it?"
