Chapter 237: Chapter 235: Cyan Silkworm Pill

Elder Qi was finally able to settle into the Jiang Family, his mind at ease.

Jiang Han arranged for a residence where Elder Qi could recover from his injuries.

At the same time, he took out an elixir and handed it to Elder Qi.

"Elder Qi, this is the Foundation Strengthening Pill my son wanted you to have."

"Take it. With this Foundation Strengthening Pill, I trust it won’t be difficult for you to break through in your Cultivation."

What?

Elder Qi’s eyes widened once again.

He had initially underestimated the Jiang Family’s strength. The current Jiang Family was clearly no longer the minor family it once was.

Their foundation had grown much deeper.

And now, having just arrived at the Jiang Family, he had actually been given a Foundation Strengthening Pill.

He naturally knew of the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Looking at the Foundation Strengthening Pill in Jiang Han’s hand, Elder Qi’s body trembled slightly.

"This..."

"Then... I am most grateful."

He hesitated for a moment but still accepted the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

From that moment on, he was completely devoted to the Jiang Family.

"Alright, I’ll leave you to it. I wish you a speedy breakthrough."

Jiang Han said his farewell and left Elder Qi’s residence.

Only then was Elder Qi left with his complex feelings.

Jiang Chen had fulfilled his promise so quickly. Although he didn’t have the Bone Healing Pill yet, he knew this Foundation Strengthening Pill was enough for his Cultivation to break through to the Martial King realm.

After all, a Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill was an incredibly rare treasure in this world.

After Jiang Han left, he looked at the Foundation Strengthening Pill again.

Its brilliant golden appearance was truly mind-boggling.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Elder Qi let out a soft sound of surprise.

He stared intently at the Foundation Strengthening Pill, nearly jumping to his feet.

’This isn’t just Gold Quality... it’s a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill?’

’Oh, heavens.’

Elder Qi was stunned by the Jiang Family time and time again.

The Foundation Strengthening Pill in his hand, besides its golden luster, actually had flashes of purple light.

In other words, this Foundation Strengthening Pill was a Purple Gold Quality Elixir.

An Elixir of such high quality might not even exist in the entire Fire Sparrow Kingdom, let alone Hanwu City.

He was truly and utterly shocked.

Thinking about it, he suddenly gave a wry smile.

’I’ve still underestimated Jiang Chen.’

He knew that Jiang Chen was far more powerful than he had imagined.

He immediately consumed the Foundation Strengthening Pill, simultaneously recovering from his injuries and breaking through in his Cultivation.

As for Jiang Chen, he paid Elder Qi’s matter no more mind. His father would handle all the arrangements for him.

He returned to his room.

He quickly calmed his mind.

’This time, I’m going to refine a Cyan Silkworm Pill.’

’With the Cyan Silkworm Pill, the City Lord’s Mansion will no longer be a threat to the Jiang Family.’

Jiang Chen had considered it before; a direct confrontation with the City Lord’s Mansion would be very disadvantageous for the Jiang Family.

With a few tricks up his sleeve, he could easily resolve the conflict with the City Lord’s Mansion.

Everything depended on the Cyan Silkworm Pill.

SWOOSH!

With a flick of his hand, the Cyan Silkworm landed in his palm.

At this moment, the Cyan Silkworm seemed to know Jiang Chen’s intentions.

It immediately began to tremble in fear.

At the same time, a sliver of thought was transmitted into his consciousness.

"Please, don’t kill me..."

Jiang Chen could feel the Cyan Silkworm’s fear and consciousness; it seemed to be begging for its life.

He reached out and stroked the Cyan Silkworm’s head.

Jiang Chen said lightly, "Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to kill you. I will let you exist in another form. For you, this will be a huge stroke of fortune."

But the Cyan Silkworm was still terrified.

Because Jiang Chen was going to refine it into an elixir.

He wouldn’t allow the Cyan Silkworm to resist. Jiang Chen wasn’t going to kill it; even though it would be refined into an elixir, it would still be alive.

He would make the Cyan Silkworm even more powerful.

He immediately lit a brazier, and the charcoal began to burn.

’To think I have to use charcoal every time... for an Alchemist, this is an absolute disgrace.’

Although he had always wanted to obtain a Fire of Heaven and Earth, they were exceedingly rare.

Not only were they hard to find, but they were also difficult to subdue.

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had possessed several types of Fire of Heaven and Earth.

Unfortunately, in this life, he could only rely on ordinary charcoal for Alchemy for the time being.

There was nothing to be done about it.

He had been keeping an eye out for news about any Fire of Heaven and Earth, but even the Treasure Elephant Pavilion had none.

This just went to show how incredibly rare a Fire of Heaven and Earth truly was.

Afterward, Jiang Chen took out his Pill Furnace.

The Pill Furnace slowly floated above the charcoal fire.

Jiang Chen looked at the Cyan Silkworm in his hand.

"Little Cyan Silkworm, I’m afraid you’ll have to bear with what comes next."

The Cyan Silkworm trembled in fear, desperately trying to dodge.

But how could it possibly escape Jiang Chen’s demonic clutches? He reached out and pinched the Cyan Silkworm’s soft body.

Amidst the Cyan Silkworm’s terrified shrieks, he tossed it straight into the Pill Furnace.

Only the Cyan Silkworm’s screams remained, but Jiang Chen was unmoved.

’I’m just refining you into an elixir, not killing you.’

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Ignoring it, he took out the other ingredients.

For the Cyan Silkworm Pill, the most indispensable ingredient was, of course, the Cyan Silkworm.

Jiang Chen had already prepared all the other materials.

He began the Alchemy, tossing the ingredients into the Pill Furnace one by one.

Although the Cyan Silkworm kept screaming, its cries gradually grew fainter as the temperature inside the Pill Furnace rose.

Finally, they faded into nothingness.

The Cyan Silkworm’s body also began to melt.

It started to merge with the ingredients Jiang Chen had added.

Eventually, all the ingredients and the Cyan Silkworm melted into a liquid.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed. With extreme concentration, he made the Pill Furnace rotate slowly while constantly adjusting the temperature of the charcoal fire.

Refining the Cyan Silkworm Pill naturally had its own set of rules.

Fortunately, none of it was a challenge for Jiang Chen.

The materials inside the Pill Furnace were continuously refined.

Impurities turned into green smoke and vanished.

Finally, a green pill appeared in the Pill Furnace.

The Cyan Silkworm Pill itself was green.

However, the current Cyan Silkworm Pill was surrounded by a black pill-halo, which clearly represented Black Iron Quality.

Black Iron Quality was far from Jiang Chen’s goal.

He had to refine it to at least Gold Quality.

Jiang Chen became even more cautious.

He continued to refine the impurities.

The black pill-halo slowly turned into a silver one.

It had clearly become a Silver Quality Cyan Silkworm Pill.

’Still not enough. Continue.’

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, his expression stern.

Alchemy was like creating a work of art to him; he wouldn’t stop until it was absolutely perfect.

High quality was a standard Jiang Chen pursued in all his elixirs.

After some time, the green Cyan Silkworm Pill became even greener.

It even began to show faint traces of a jade-like green luster.

And the silver pill-halo gradually began to turn golden.

Gold Quality. The Cyan Silkworm Pill was evolving toward Gold Quality.

After a short while, a layer of gold completely covered the surface of the green pill.

It was now completely Gold Quality.

But Jiang Chen knew that the higher the quality of the Cyan Silkworm Pill, the better, as it possessed a miraculous ability.

’The Cyan Silkworm Pill is an elixir that can evolve.’

It could evolve from a Second-Grade Elixir to a Third-Grade Elixir, and could even continue evolving beyond that.

As long as the quality was high enough, it could even evolve into a Ninth-Grade Elixir.

It was this miraculous effect that made Jiang Chen determined to refine the Cyan Silkworm Pill.

BUZZ...

At a certain moment, the Pill Furnace trembled. The Cyan Silkworm Pill had actually reached Purple Gold Quality.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed and continued to refine the impurities. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

A faint, purplish-gold light appeared around its green surface.
