Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 48: Perfect
Small courtyard, quiet room.

"It has been confirmed that the fragrance of wolfsbane does help refine the soul. If you want to stimulate this property to the extreme, the best way is to burn it."

Sitting cross-legged, pinching the petals of wolfsbane in his hands, Jiang Chen looked thoughtful.

The outside world has been in turmoil these days, and it's very lively, but all this has nothing to do with him. Although during this process, Iron Man Tu repeatedly asked Jinsha Valley to send more forces, he just asked Skinny Monkey to do it on his behalf, and he himself had no intention of moving at all.

After so many days of research, he has a deeper understanding of the characteristics of wolfsbane. The fragrance of this flower can create illusions and stimulate people's spirits, thereby achieving the effect of boosting the power of the soul. However, this method is also quite dangerous. It is very likely that ordinary people will become mentally ill and fall into madness.

"The reason why wolfsbane can help living beings break through their Qi training is that it essentially hypnotizes them, amplifying their desires, allowing them to invisibly break free from their shackles and unleash more potential, thus creating the illusion of enhancing the affinity between the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"In theory, this method does help cultivators break through the Qi training stage, but the price is also heavy. Not only is the quality of the Qi cultivated low, making it difficult to have a future, but it will also overdraw the potential of the body and even the soul, shortening lifespan."

"It is precisely because of this that the Qi-cultivating Wolf King of the Fierce Wolf Clan died so early."

With a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of wolfsbane, Jiang Chen had a guess about the truth that wolfsbane can help break through Qi training.

Wolfsbane can indeed help people break through the Qi training stage, but the price is quite heavy. Of course, this does not deny the value of wolfsbane. Although this medicine is undoubtedly poison for people like Jiang Chen, it is still an opportunity for many ordinary cultivators.

"It truly lives up to its name, a true medicine for tigers and wolves. However, as long as it is used properly, it still has extremely high value."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Chen threw the petals of the wolfsbane flower into the incense burner that had been prepared long ago.

After a while, as the wolfsbane flowers burned, wisps of green smoke emerged from the incense burner.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately adjusted his state and cleared his mind.

Huh, with a gentle breath, the wisps of green smoke immediately drilled into Jiang Chen's nostrils like little snakes, and as time passed, the medicinal properties of the wolfsbane flower began to take effect, and Jiang Chen suddenly felt that his body was much lighter, as if all his fatigue had been removed, and he felt like he was floating in the air.

In this way, time passed silently. Jiang Chen's face was full of peace and he was extremely relaxed. It was not until the wolfsbane petals in the incense burner burned out and the fragrance dissipated that Jiang Chen opened his eyes again.

"I possess a trace of the essence of a second-order soul. Using the wolfsbane flower to stimulate it does help the growth of my soul. Although I have only formally practiced it once, I can already feel a slight increase in the amount of my soul power."

"If this continues, it won't be long before my total soul volume reaches the ultimate level of a first-order soul, ten times that of an ordinary person."

Feeling the changes in himself, Jiang Chen felt a faint joy in his heart.

The improvement of the soul has never been an easy thing, whether in quantity or quality. However, because of his special abilities, it is much easier for him to achieve a breakthrough than ordinary people.

In fact, compared with the way of cultivating immortals, soul power is not particularly powerful, at least it is true judging from Jiang Chen’s current situation. However, Jiang Chen still attaches great importance to this power. After all, it is precisely relying on this power that he has been able to struggle for so long in the doomsday.

In addition, soul powers and cultivation have a complementary effect. It has actually only been a few months since he traveled through time. To have his current strength, soul powers have played a crucial role.

"I already have a second-order essence. As long as I reach the pinnacle of the first order, returning to the second order will not be difficult. Then it will be a whole new world. Compared to the first order, the second-order soul has many more wonderful uses."

"And the most important thing I have to do right now is to cultivate the wolfsbane vine and strive to harvest more wolfsbane flowers. However, this requires a lot of blood and flesh. It's fine in the short term, but it will eventually become a problem over a long period of time."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen thought about the future direction.

The wolf clan's cultivation of wolfsbane vine is very crude. They just water it with blood and flesh. As long as there is enough blood and flesh, the wolfsbane vine will naturally bloom wolfsbane flowers. However, although this cultivation method is simple and crude, it is also inefficient. This is what Jiang Chen wants to change, but unfortunately Jiang Chen himself is not good at this aspect.

"In the world of cultivation, the cultivation of spiritual plants is a profound subject in itself, with relevant inheritance. I need to pay more attention to it in the future."

"Speaking of which, the wolfsbane vine is still the most precious spiritual object in my hands. Compared to the inferior spiritual spring stone, it can be regarded as a truly high-level spiritual object."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen walked out of the quiet room without thinking any more. At this moment, accompanied by a loud thunderclap, dark clouds gathered and heavy rain began to fall from the sky. "It's raining again. This weather is really a bit weird."

Standing under the eaves, stretching out his hand to catch the falling raindrops, Jiang Chen cast his gaze towards the sky.

This season is relatively dry, so rain is a good thing. However, in the past month, the rain has become quite frequent, which is completely different from the previous climate.

Just as Jiang Chen was staring at the sky in a daze, Wang Yuan, wearing a straw raincoat, hurried in from outside.

"Third Master, a letter from the First Master himself."

When he came in front of Jiang Chen, Wang Yuan took out a letter from his arms.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen took the letter and opened it without any hesitation.

"We've confirmed that Zhao Meng's whereabouts have been discovered. Are you asking me to personally lead a group to intercept him? We must kill all of them, leaving no one behind, and bring back all the treasures?"

After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Chen frowned.

"Did the Iron Butcher find what he was looking for? Or is there something special about this group of people?"

"Take a look."

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Chen casually handed the letter to Wang Yuan.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan took it without hesitation.

"Your words are harsh. I'm afraid the boss is very dissatisfied with your continued stay in the valley."

"Also, according to the news from Skinny Monkey, the Second in Command also showed up on the river a few days ago. Given this situation, the First in Command has repeatedly asked you to personally take action. It's easy to imagine that this fleet must be something more than a simple one."

After a brief hesitation, Wang Yuan spoke directly about his thoughts without any concealment. Although they were all Dangjiang bandits, he knew clearly who he was working for.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was quite satisfied.

"What do you think I should do now?"

Looking at Wang Yuan, Jiang Chen asked again.

Hearing this, Wang Yuan raised his head and met Jiang Chen's gaze.

"May I ask, Third Boss, if you were to face the First Boss, what are your chances of winning?"

In a low voice, Wang Yuan asked the most crucial question.

"Ten percent!"

With a flat tone and without any ups and downs, Jiang Chen gave his answer.

Hearing this, although Wang Yuan had already guessed that Jiang Chen was extraordinary, he still couldn't help but be shocked. At this moment, it seemed as if something was burning in his eyes.
