Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 190: Hunting Demonic Beasts for Qi and Blood Energy

Jiang Chen escorted Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing back to Ji Ruxue’s dwelling. Once they arrived, he set off to find Ji Mingxiu.

He had now reached a status where he could seek out Ji Mingxiu whenever he pleased.

It wasn’t long before Jiang Chen found Ji Mingxiu by a cascading waterfall.

"Is sothing on your mind?" Ji Mingxiu asked with a gentle smile, his eyes resting calmly on Jiang Chen.

Getting straight to the point, Jiang Chen stated his intentions, "Master, I just visited Junior Brother Fang Yuan. His spiritual root is badly damaged, making his recovery extrely difficult. I plan to ask the two revered seniors for a solution."

"You an to plead with the two great cultivators who have reached the Void Tribulation realm, just to find a cure for this young one, Fang Yuan?" A flicker of surprise crossed Ji Mingxiu’s eyes. "Does Fang Yuan truly deserve such effort from you? It seems like you are repaying enmity with kindness."

"I don’t see it as repaying enmity with kindness," Jiang Chen replied quickly. "Junior Brother Fang Yuan is also a promising talent of our Purple Heaven Holy Land, a future pillar, who is simply reckless because of his youth."

"As a disciple, I cannot ignore the future of the Holy Land over minor conflicts." He spoke with a calm yet firm expression, pressing his hands together in a respectful gesture.

Hearing these words, a look of satisfaction and pleasant surprise spread across Ji Mingxiu’s face. He praised, "Well said! You truly are the young man I hold in high regard!"

"If only Fang Yuan had even a fraction, just one-tenth, of your foresight, it would be wonderful!" he lanted, shaking his head with a hint of regret.

Jiang Chen’s broad vision and deep insight went beyond his expectations, clearly marking him as a promising leader.

"Master, your praise is too kind," Jiang Chen replied with a modest smile. "I plan to leave imdiately to seek out the two revered seniors."

Since Jiang Chen had already made up his mind, Ji Mingxiu didn’t press the matter further and simply nodded. "Very well."

With a slightly worried expression, he then brought up another topic. "Lately, things have been a bit unsettled outside. Even though you’ve reached the Inquiring Journey realm, you must stay alert!"

Saying that, Ji Mingxiu pulled out a long sword from his storage artifact and handed it to Jiang Chen. "Here, take this. This is the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, a top-grade magical treasure, perfect for soone at the Inquiring Journey realm. Use it to protect yourself."

Afterwards, as if sothing had suddenly co to mind, he quickly asked, "Do the two seniors require any specific treasures from us? If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to ask."

Jiang Chen didn’t answer Ji Mingxiu right away. The mont he took hold of the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, feeling its cold touch and subtle weight, a surge of power flowed from the sword into him, a force that seed capable of piercing the heavens and reaching beyond the celestial realm. It sent a wave of enlightennt through his being.

Yet, the feeling was fleeting.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Chen looked at Ji Mingxiu with a rueful smile and said, "The two esteed seniors clearly have no need for offerings. Perhaps they simply don’t require anything we could provide. After all, they are powerful beings who have endured the Void Tribulation, a realm nearly beyond our understanding."

"Heh, that makes sense." Ji Mingxiu chuckled awkwardly and shook his head. "Our greatest strength here in the Purple Heaven Holy Land only reaches the Transcendence realm."

Seeing there was nothing more he could offer, Ji Mingxiu decided not to keep his disciple any longer. "Well then, go on your journey. If the two seniors have any requests, let know imdiately."

"Yes, Master!" Jiang Chen responded with a smile, gripping the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword as he turned to leave.

As he walked away, cheerful thoughts danced through his mind.

’What a pleasant surprise! I truly didn’t expect to receive another magical treasure from Ji Mingxiu.’

’With this, I won’t need to trade for a weapon in the System Mall. The Peerless Sky Piercing Sword is perfect for my current level.’

’Haha, it really is an advantage to stand on the shoulders of giants.’

With this thought concluded, Jiang Chen summoned the Purple Orchid teor Leaf and soared away from the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

While en route, he made sure to instruct Rong Liangcai and his other subordinates to keep a close watch on Fang Yuan.

By now, most of the people within the Purple Heaven Holy Land were under his command.

Even those he barely knew would, at a single word from him, wear themselves out without a hint of complaint!

As a result, Jiang Chen could maintain perfect surveillance over Fang Yuan’s movents within the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

...

As Jiang Chen guided the Purple Orchid teor Leaf forward, his flight path was far from random.

His current route mirrored the one he had taken earlier when he had gone to ’visit’ the two powerful beings of the Void Tribulation realm, under the guise of providing treatnt for Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.

When it ca to details that could raise suspicion if not handled carefully, Jiang Chen made sure not to overlook any of them.

As Jiang Chen flew across the sky, he used his divine sense to scan the lush mountains below.

He was in urgent need of qi and blood energy.

Given this rare chance to be outside, he decided to hunt so demonic beasts—enough to master the nineteen techniques required from the Precious Pill Seeking Record.

Throughout his journey, Jiang Chen ca across many demonic beasts.

So of these creatures were fairly ordinary, while others were like the ones in the Red Maple Heavenly Valley—lacking reason and driven purely by primal instincts.

For these beasts, as long as they were above the Mysterious Platform realm, Jiang Chen showed no rcy.

During the entire expedition, Jiang Chen’s speed never slowed. He casually dispatched the demonic beasts and collected them.

Since he was continuously monitoring Fang Yuan’s movents and no urgent matters needed his attention, Jiang Chen decided to extend his ti outside and hunt more demonic beasts.

After all, while the nineteen techniques in the Precious Pill Seeking Record made up less than a tenth of the entire cultivation thod, they still required a vast amount of qi and blood energy to master in a short ti.

...

As the hours passed, Jiang Chen’s relentless pursuit and ruthless slaughter brought disaster upon countless demonic beasts.

No longer burdened with the responsibility of protecting Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing, he was free to unleash the full extent of his true power, making his efficiency in execution truly terrifying.

In just a single day, he had wiped out a number of demonic beasts equal to the entire population of the Red Maple Heavenly Valley.

Of course, he hadn’t yet gathered the required amount of qi and blood energy, but he decided to stop here, feeling it was the right ti to start his return to the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

As for helping Fang Yuan fully restore his spiritual root, Jiang Chen was in no rush.

After all, his offer to assist Fang Yuan was just a pretext to achieve his two true goals: first, to keep Fang Yuan within the bounds of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, and second, to strengthen his connections with Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

The opportunity to nd Fang Yuan’s spiritual root provided an excellent reason to deepen his interactions with Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

Thus, Jiang Chen would be a fool to rush into healing Fang Yuan’s spiritual root.

After another day’s journey, Jiang Chen finally returned to the Purple Heaven Holy Land. The first thing he did was to seek out his master, Ji Mingxiu.

Upon seeing his disciple, Ji Mingxiu smiled and asked, "Why did it take you so long this ti? Did those two seniors keep you?"

"Mm-hmm," Jiang Chen replied with a smile after respectfully greeting Ji Mingxiu.

He then went on to explain, "To quickly restore Junior Brother Fang Yuan’s spiritual root, a unique healing thod is needed, one that is quite difficult to master."

"I see," Ji Mingxiu nodded, a look of understanding crossing his face.

If he said he wasn’t intrigued by a secret technique that could rapidly repair a cultivator’s spiritual root, it would be a lie.

However, since the healing thod belonged to two great powerhouses of the Void Tribulation realm, he dared not have any lofty ambitions.

Unless Jiang Chen chose to bring it up, Ji Mingxiu would refrain from asking further questions.

Jiang Chen continued, "Besides the healing thod, we still need the right ingredients if we want to quickly nd Junior Brother Fang Yuan’s spiritual root." With that, he began to carefully list the materials required for the repair.

Ji Mingxiu listened closely, taking note of each item on the list. Once Jiang Chen finished, he replied, "While so of these materials are indeed rare, they can still be found within the Holy Land."

"I’ll have Wenren Kang deliver them directly to the main healing hall later," he promised, eagerly taking on the task of procuring the materials.

The quick-witted Ji Mingxiu imdiately recognized that these materials ford part of a recipe, one provided by a Void Tribulation realm powerhouse, capable of fully restoring a cultivator’s spiritual root.

Even without the accompanying secret technique, he believed these materials could still offer so benefits after a thorough study over ti.

"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Chen quickly expressed his gratitude. With a satisfied look, having secured the necessary materials, he added, "I’ll take my leave now," and turned to go.
