Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 68: Recruited

In the martial arts arena, Jiang Chen was practicing, and his sparring partner was Shu Tianjiao.

At this time, Jiang Chen was wearing the iron corpse skin, as if he was a reborn iron corpse, with copper skin and iron bones. He completely ignored Shu Tianjiao's attacks and rushed all the way.

Faced with such an unreasonable Jiang Chen, Shu Tianjiao could only retreat again and again, and the corpse fire that fell from time to time made it extremely embarrassed. Several times it exclaimed that its life as a rat was over. Fortunately, it could "luckily" survive at the last moment.

"Using the Iron Corpse's skin as a medium, I can easily transform the Formless Qi into Yin Qi, thereby activating the various abilities the Iron Corpse possessed in life. Perhaps because I completely preserved the Iron Corpse's residual thoughts, the abilities preserved in this demon skin are relatively complete. Although it lacks the Yin Qi armor, the most powerful corpse fire is still there."

Jiang Chen made a rough judgment in his mind by casually wielding the power of the iron corpse skin.

"The Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique left by the Corpse Taoist contains matching spells. I use the Iron Corpse Skin as a medium and carefully comprehend it. It is possible for me to comprehend these spells. This can enhance the combat power of the Iron Corpse Skin to a certain extent, but it is not necessary."

"The potential of the Iron Corpse Skin is ultimately too poor. It's fine for use, but it's not suitable as my natal demon skin. Its greatest use is actually to enhance my physique at this stage. Combined with my own martial arts cultivation, it can allow me to burst out with stronger combat power."

With a thought in mind, Jiang Chen stopped his actions and slapped Shu Tianjiao away.

With a casual wipe, the iron corpse skin turned into a thin piece, and Jiang Chen returned to his original appearance.

There are two ways to use the skin-wearing technique. One is to use it simply. In this case, the monster skin is like a special magic weapon. It has a certain mystery, but the power it can exert is limited. Unless the cultivator himself is stronger, he can basically not exert 80% of the power of the monster skin's original body, and the monster skin basically has no possibility of going any further.

Another way is to use one's own true energy to continuously refine it, and leave a unique mark of one's own in the monster skin, and then refine the monster skin into one's own life. In this case, the monster skin and the cultivator are almost one, not only can they easily exert more than 80% of their power, but they also have the possibility of further growth.

As long as the demon skin has enough potential, the cultivator can completely refine it to a higher level. Even the abilities that were not retained during refining may be supplemented through continuous refining.

"Unlike ordinary demon skins, replacing your own demon skin is quite difficult, so you should be more cautious."

With his thoughts turning, Jiang Chen put the iron corpse skin into his pocket and walked towards the pavilion on the side.

After confirming that Jiang Chen had left, Shu Tianjiao could no longer hold on and simply lay on the ground with his limbs spread out. His face was numb. He was too tired, really too tired. Unless there was an ounce, no, a penny of spiritual sand in front of him, he would never move.

On the other side, seeing Jiang Chen sitting down, Hongyu hurriedly brought up the tea and some snacks that had been prepared long ago.

"Master, the pear blossoms on the island are in bloom, so I picked some and squeezed them into pear blossom juice. I mixed it with cheese and made this pear blossom cheese. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Gentle as water, Hongyu brought a special snack to Jiang Chen.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen became interested and couldn't help but cast his eyes on the pear blossom yogurt. It was served in a celadon cup, like pear blossoms falling on the snow, which looked quite artistic.

“That’s really good.”

After taking a bite, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly. The aroma of cheese blended with the pear blossoms just right. The most important thing was that the fragrance of pear blossoms dissolved the greasy feeling of the cheese very well. The two complemented each other.

Hearing Jiang Chen's praise, the heavy stone in Hongyu's heart fell to the ground quietly. She knew that her previous efforts were not in vain.

After knowing that Jiang Chen loved food, she would often consult the chefs on the island in her spare time, and even asked Wang Yuan to help find some recipes. Of course, she did not intend to learn all the dishes, but chose to specialize in pastries and tea. After all, cooking is the chef's job, and she mainly wanted to get closer to Jiang Chen.

The most important thing is that she came from an settled family and had a certain foundation in this area. After studying hard, she immediately achieved certain results.

After Jiang Chen had enjoyed a good afternoon tea, Wang Yuan hurried over. "Sir, many of the Dangjiang bandit strongholds have been taken down."

With a solemn expression, Wang Yuan shared the relevant information one by one.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged.

"If they hadn't launched an attack, it would have been fine. But once they did, it was like a thunderbolt. In a short period of time, they completely uprooted the Dangjiang bandits' outposts. It seems the government is determined to wipe out the Dangjiang bandits. I think the government fleet has already completed the blockade of Mihun Bay."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen was not surprised by what was happening now, and he had even expected it.

"Sir, what should we do next? According to some information I have received, the ones who took action this time are from the River Governor's Office. Their strength is definitely not comparable to that of the Qinghe County soldiers. If they are determined to wipe out the Dangjiang bandits, the natural fortifications of Mihun Bend alone may not be able to stop them."

The words were low and contained lingering worry.

"Killing people and setting fires to be recruited is a common occurrence in the Nanjing Kingdom. Although there are many disturbances in the Nanjing Kingdom now, the general trend remains the same. There is no future in being a bandit."

Taking a sip of tea, Jiang Chen expressed his thoughts.

The Dangjiang bandits are a complete force after all, and he still has some use for them. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still thin nowadays, there are still spiritual objects in the mountains and wilderness. He needs people to find and plunder them for him. Instead of taking the trouble to build it from scratch, it is better to borrow what is already there.

But before that, the Dangjiang bandits really need to complete a transformation.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Wang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly. Being a bandit is said that you can eat meat and drink wine to your heart's content, but in fact, life is not easy for most of them. It is completely like licking blood on the edge of a knife. The disadvantages are too great. It would be great if you could stop being a bandit. The key to this problem is how to make the government willing to recruit you.

"It's just a matter of strength. You'll know once you fight."

Seeing Wang Yuan's curiosity, Jiang Chen casually said that things in this world seem to be subject to many rules and regulations, but the greatest principle is still fists.

Hearing this and looking at Jiang Chen who was so calm, Wang Yuan's originally restless heart slowly calmed down.

Soon, with Jiang Chen's order, Wang Yuan immediately ordered people to move.

"Without destruction, there is no construction. This is a good opportunity to sort out the Dangjiang bandits."

"There seems to be a treasure on Muyu Island. If it's possible, I won't be in a hurry to leave for now. But if it's really impossible, then I can only escape."

"As for the treasures in Muyu Island, I'll have to wait for the future. After all, the island won't run away. If I miss it in the process, it only means that I have no fate with this treasure."

Looking at the setting sun, all kinds of calculations flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

After becoming a Qi-cultivating cultivator, he needed enough resources to support his practice. Otherwise, if he only breathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would take him an unknown amount of time to open up the 108 acupoints. If he wanted to gain the benefits, he had to show his potential.

In this owned land, no one will willingly share the benefits with you, because if you share, others are destined to get less.
