Chapter 2729 - 2732: Not Afraid of an Unstable Foundation?
Crack!
An hour passed, and the door to the private room was pushed open directly.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brow slightly, looked up, and smiled faintly.
"Here!"
Cheng Huang’er came over to sit beside Jiang Chen, handing him a Space Ring.
Jiang Chen looked at Cheng Huang’er in confusion, took the Space Ring, and glanced inside, his expression changed. The Space Ring contained three clusters of Spiritual Fire, two Beast Flames, and an awe-inspiring air of aggression.
"Exchange them for two Heart Demon Flames!"
Cheng Huang’er spoke softly, "Don’t refuse, Jiang Chen, sometimes you’re too kind to your friends. You must remember, helping is okay, but it can’t be excessive. Perhaps this is because of your past identity on Yuan Star and the dangerous situations you faced then, resulting in such a habit.
But this approach is still not advisable. Since you understand Spiritual Treasures can’t be relied upon, you should also understand resources can’t always be given by others. Things you desperately exchange for, giving them away so easily, might make them seem very cheap to others!"
Jiang Chen was slightly dazed, his eyes showing a hint of contemplation, then he gently nodded: "The little princess’s words are instructive. I’ve been reckless!"
He put away the Space Ring, waved his hand, and three Heart Demon Flames enveloped by Great Dao Divine Light appeared in his hand.
With a faint smile, Jiang Chen said softly: "Little princess, I hope you will accept them. I don’t wish to simply complete a transaction with you. Both you, the Crown Prince, and Princess Chang have helped me greatly, which I keep in mind. I can’t help much, but let me do my best for you all!"
Cheng Huang’er looked deeply at Jiang Chen without saying anything, reached out to take out three jade boxes filled with cold air, and contained the three flame light clusters within them.
Two hours passed, and Pang Guang came to take another Heart Demon Flame and conducted a separate auction.
After the auction ended, Pang Guang returned to the private room, handing Jiang Chen a Space Ring: "Brother Jiang, here’s all the proceeds from the auction!"
Jiang Chen took a look, his eyes brightened, he smiled lightly: "I didn’t expect to find two Spiritual Objects!"
The Space Ring contained a vast number of Dao Source Beads, along with two incredibly rare treasures filled with Dao Rhythm.
"Brother Jiang, could you say what you’re planning to do with these things? Even Saint Monarch Strong Ones find it difficult to collect these items. If not for our alliance’s inventory during this special period, I doubt anyone would sell them."
Pang Guang looked at Jiang Chen curiously.
"An elder needs them."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly.
He didn’t intend to divulge anything about Yan Yufei to anyone.
Seeing Jiang Chen didn’t wish to discuss it, Pang Guang didn’t inquire further, he glanced at the door and spoke softly: "Tang Jie and the others are outside, hoping to exchange the third Heart Demon Flame, but none of their families can gather the three items you want."
"Is it that they can’t gather them or they’re unwilling?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "I didn’t expect anyone to actually produce three Spiritual Objects to exchange, having found two is already quite surprising. Let them in, I’ll speak to them."
"Okay!"
Pang Guang nodded, stood up, and opened the door.
Tang Jie, Yue Muchen, Feng Xuan’er, Xiang Wuhui, and Ping Yuehuan entered from outside.
There were more people behind them, but Pang Guang kept them out, knowing whom Jiang Chen was willing to see and who he wasn’t ready to meet.
"Little princess!"
"Greetings, little princess!"
Tang Jie and the five entered the room, saluting Cheng Huang’er before taking their seats.
"Hehe."
Tang Jie plopped down next to Jiang Chen, smiling broadly at him without speaking, just staring.
"What are you smiling at? Don’t think about taking the Heart Demon Flame from me for free."
Jiang Chen cast a glance at Tang Jie.
"Jiang Chen, you’re being narrow-minded, we’re not here to ask for the Heart Demon Flame!"
Tang Jie spoke with righteous indignation.
Jiang Chen blinked, smirked, and stared straight into Tang Jie’s eyes.
"Well... okay, we came to see if we could exchange for it, but if not, then it doesn’t matter. That’s not our main reason!"
Tang Jie, somewhat awkward under Jiang Chen’s gaze, chuckled and spoke.
"That I believe."
Jiang Chen nodded, scanned the group, and chuckled: "Have you come to discuss the Extraterritorial Battlefield?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, and the others showed some astonishment.
"Aside from the final competition and the Extraterritorial Battlefield, what else is there to discuss?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Don’t tell me you are thinking about the post-Extraterrestrial Battlefield matters, that’s still too far off."
"How do you guess everything?"
Tang Jie grumbled.
"Given Brother Jiang’s previous experiences, it’s not surprising he figures it out."
Xiang Wuhui spoke softly: "We’re all heading to the Virtual Refinement Void Region on the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Brother Jiang’s strength seems hard-pressed to suppress anymore. Once on the battlefield, he’ll likely soon break through, and after that, he probably won’t linger in the Divine Infant Realm section, right?"
"No."
Jiang Chen shook his head lightly: "Entering the battlefield, I will directly break through the Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm, then cultivate for some time. After breaking through the Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm, I’ll come out, heading straight to the Virtual Refinement Void Region.
By then, I should have the power to fight against cultivators in the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak. The battle, still best done against well-matched opponents, even though on the Extraterritorial Battlefield we need to suppress the opposition, there’s no lack of me. Little princess will probably remain in the Divine Infant Realm section for some time, right?"
"Right! I will stay there for some time. I initially thought I’d have a strong ally, but now it seems the ally is running away!"
Cheng Huang’er looked at Jiang Chen with some grievance.
She did wish for Jiang Chen’s help, but understood his staying in the Divine Infant Realm section wouldn’t bring much improvement.
"Sorry, I also need to improve. I have tasks to accomplish, and within the ten years on the battlefield, my goal is to reach the Unity Realm Stage."
Jiang Chen looked at Cheng Huang’er apologetically.
"Unity Realm Stage? You’re really daring, breaking through from Divine Infant Realm Peak to Unity Realm Stage in ten years, aren’t you afraid of an unstable foundation?"
Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "If I don’t suppress the realm, I’m confident to instantaneously break through to Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm without affecting my foundation. Over seven years, I’ve cultivated to ensure a stable foundation for breaking through to Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm. Ten years, pursuing advancement to Unity Realm Stage, isn’t that reasonable?"
"You... you’re truly a monster!"
Tang Jie grumbled, pursing his lips.
"Tang Jie, be quiet. Wuhui, you speak."
Ping Yuehuan shot Tang Jie a glance, seemingly annoyed at his dawdling, and constantly changing topics.
Tang Jie shrunk his neck, seemingly a bit intimidated by Ping Yuehuan.
Jiang Chen curiously looked at Ping Yuehuan. Tang Jie would fear someone?
