Chapter 356: The Danger of Dachu
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I was just lucky.” Su Chen did not act arrogantly and returned the greetings to everyone.
“Hmm?” At this moment, Su Chen’s expression changed as he looked at the Wang family Patriarch.
Although he had never met the Wang family Patriarch in person, the appearance of the Wang family Patriarch was not a secret. One could find out through many channels. After all, if he came to the Wang family as a guest and couldn’t recognize their family leader when meeting the other party, it would be embarrassing.
The Wang family Patriarch’s cultivation had already reached the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, only a step away from the Saint Realm. However, without any external help, he would likely need to be stuck there for decades.
Thinking of this, Su Chen took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. Inside it was a milky white pill, currently emanating a white glow. The moment this pill appeared, it attracted countless gazes.
“I’m really sorry for disturbing the Wang family before. Today, 1’11 give this Saint Breaking Pill to the Wang family Patriarch.”
Without the Wang family’s Emperor’s Pool, the Azure Dragon Sword could not have advanced. Su Chen was not a petty person. Since the Wang family had done him a favor, he naturally had to repay it.
The Saint Breaking Pill was a very rare pill and was made of materials extremely difficult to find. Alchemists who could refine the Saint Breaking Pill were also rare.
The price required to refine a Saint Breaking Pill was extremely terrifying. Even an imperial clan like the Wang family could not gather the materials needed for the Saint Breaking Pill. That was why the Saint Breaking Pill was priceless. After all, with just one pill of this kind, and with a bit of luck, it was entirely possible to produce a Saint Realm powerhouse.
As for everyone around Su Chen, they all had their eyes fixed on the Saint Breaking Pill. In the depths of their eyes, there was a burning fervor.
Most of those present were at the Quasi-Saint Realm. The Saint Breaking Pill was not only precious for the Wang family Patriarch but also for the other Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses present. It was a pill that could change one’s destiny.
Unfortunately, from Su Chen’s actions, he was preparing to give it only to the Wang family Patriarch.
“Fellow Daoist… Senior Su Chen! Isn’t this a little too precious?” The Wang family Patriarch stared at the jade bottle in Su Chen’s hand, looking quite flattered.
This was the first time he had met Su Chen. However, he never expected Su Chen to be so generous, giving him a precious Saint Breaking Pill right away.
In his eyes, Su Chen seemed able to see through his heart, knowing he had been unable to sense the Saint Tribulation, so specifically giving him a Saint Breaking Pill.
“This Saint Breaking Pill is no longer useful for me, so 1 can just give it to Patriarch Wang.” Su Chen smiled.
As soon as he said this, everyone was speechless.
Now that Su Chen had become a saint, the extremely precious Saint Breaking Pill had completely lost its effect on him. Perhaps, the Saint Breaking Pill in Su Chen’s hand had been prepared for himself earlier, but in the end, he did not use it himself.
“Then… Thank you, Senior Su Chen!”
Hearing this, the Wang family Patriarch took two steps forward. Under everyone’s envious gazes, he accepted the Saint Breaking Pill from Su Chen’s hand and continued, “In the future, if Senior Su Chen needs any help from my Wang family, please instruct me without hesitation.”
“Haha… Alright.” Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.
Soon after, he turned to the other Wang family’s elders and cupped his hands slightly.
“Now that my concerns are resolved, 1’11 take my leave first. I will definitely come to pay you a visit in the future.”
As soon as he said this, many Wang family’s elders hurriedly urged him to stay. The representatives of the other saint-level factions also extended their invitations at this moment, wanting Su Chen to visit their holy lands as a guest.
However, Su Chen politely declined them all. In the end, he waved his hand and summoned the golden chariot. He brought Long Wu along and boarded, speeding off into the distance.
Watching Su Chen leave, Jiang Feng of the Spirit Sword Holy Land couldn’t help but sigh. He had wanted to take this chance to invite Su Chen to their Spirit Sword Holy Land, to build ties with him. But the result was undoubtedly disappointing. Su Chen only wanted to return to the Great Mystery Sacred Sect and had no interest in visiting other places.
“Senior Su Chen became a saint today. Now, it seems Qin Yuan’s earlier challenge was really overconfident!” Someone looked in the direction Su Chen had left and muttered to himself.
As soon as he said this, it immediately attracted agreement from the others.
“Yes, 1 think so!” A powerhouse at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm nodded gently and said with a face full of agreement, “Not to mention ten years, even if Qin Yuan was given a hundred years or even a thousand years, he still wouldn’t be able to surpass Senior Su Chen!”
Qin Yuan was very talented. This was a fact acknowledged across the entire East Barrens and even the Central Plains. But in the end, he had a talent that was not originally his own.
Similarly, Su Chen also had two talents, but those two talents were innate to him. In this way, the difference between the two was clear.
“I heard recently many dark creatures have appeared near the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. Perhaps this is why Senior Su Chen wants to return.” a Wang family’s elder said thoughtfully.
In recent days, some dark creatures had been dealt with, but some were still appearing. Not only did they not disappear, but they gradually became very rampant.
This was what was happening around the Dachu Empire. Dachu had sent many experts to eliminate the dark creatures. Unfortunately, the gains were minimal, and some might even say non-existent. Because the more experts the Dachu Empire sent out, the number and strength of the dark creatures would also gradually increase.
In this way, the Dachu Empire had become passive from the start. Even many dark creatures had already reached the vicinity of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect.
The news of Su Chen becoming a saint swept across the East Barrens like a hurricane and even spread throughout the entire Central Plains.
In the Shadowless Hall, on a giant mountain peak, there were many palaces here, ancient trees lining the area, emanating a smooth and gorgeous glow.
This was where Qin Yuan cultivated daily. This place had become a small forbidden area within the Shadowless Hall. Ordinary disciples could not even set foot here.
At the mountain peak, Qin Yuan sat cross-legged. Although still a youth, he now exuded an aura of invincibility. He stood tall and majestic, with disheveled black hair cascading over his shoulders. His chiseled face had sharp features, and his eyebrows were like two swords, slanting into his temples. In the depths of his eyes, there were flickering patterns, making them appear profound and inscrutable. He was like the reincarnation of an ancient emperor. The aura he emitted was daunting.
“I just received news that Su Chen has become a saint. You can forget about the challenge you previously issued!” An old man stood behind Qin Yuan and spoke slowly, his tone emotionless.
He was an elder of the Shadowless Hall, holding a high position and great power. His strength was also formidable.
It was difficult to see his true strength from the surface..
