Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Advancing to Middle-stage Inquiring Journey Realm Chapter 193: Advancing to Middle-stage Inquiring Journey Realm “This is the complete list of spiritual plants!” Jiang Chen declared, channeling his Origin Power to manifest a scroll.

It displayed the names of spiritual plants at the Dao Comprehension and Dao Palace ranks.

The spiritual plants of the Inquiring Journey rank were no longer relevant.

Only those of the Dao Comprehension and Dao Palace ranks held any real power now!

After all, those ‘two seniors’ were formidable powerhouses at the Void Tribulation realm-how could they settle for lesser spiritual plants?

As expected, they were after the very best!

“Excellent!

I’ll contact the Elder in charge of the alchemy sector right away and instruct him to send out the spiritual plants!” Ji Mingxiu, having memorized the list of spiritual plants, nodded eagerly, unaware that he had been deceived by his own disciple.

“My gratitude, Master!” Jiang Chen responded with a deep bow, his face alight with delight.

“For the future prosperity of our Purple Heaven Holy Land, it is crucial that you build a strong relationship with those two!” Ji Mingxiu advised earnestly.

In the presence of the two great Void Tribulation realm powerhouses, the importance of the Purple Heaven Holy Land was almost insignificant.

He had no fear that these mighty figures would covet the relatively minor Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Instead, his worry was about failing to build a good relationship with them.

If that happened, there could come a day when, on a whim, they might decide to wipe out the Holy Land.

And in such a grim scenario, who could they turn to for justice?

“Your disciple understands!” Jiang Chen nodded with sincere agreement.

Shortly after, thanks to Ji Mingxiu’s intervention, the Alchemy Hall Master quickly sent over the spiritual plants from the list.

However, only half of the required plants had been gathered.

Outraged, Ji Mingxiu immediately ordered the Holy Land to acquire the remaining spiritual plants at any cost!

At once, the entire Holy Land, like a massive organism, stretched out countless tendrils, searching everywhere for the listed spiritual plants!

Naturally, this process took time.

After all, the spiritual plants Jiang Chen had requested were not ordinary items that could be easily obtained; they were rare plants of the Dao Comprehension and Dao Palace ranks!

However, Jiang Chen was in no hurry.

He assured Ji Mingxiu that the ‘two seniors’ had not set a deadline, which allowed Ji Mingxiu to breathe a sigh of relief.

With that, Jiang Chen collected the gathered spiritual plants and took his leave for the moment.

…

After leaving Ji Mingxiu, Jiang Chen went straight back to his residence-the Autumn Water Palace.

As a Holy Son, he naturally had his own mansion.

However, it was still under construction.

According to tradition, each generation of Holy Sons was not allowed to use the mansion of the previous one, so a new one had to be built.

For now, he stayed in the mansion given to him as the Holy Lord’s direct disciple.

He chose not to stay at Ji Ruxue’s place because he wanted privacy for his cultivation.

Entering the meditation room, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the floor and expanded the shielding powers of the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring to their fullest extent.

He carefully unpacked all the spiritual plants, lining them up one by one before his eyes.

In total, there were fifty spiritual plants of the Dao Comprehension rank and three of the Dao Palace rank!

‘Heh, this truly shows the benefits of having great influence,’ Jiang Chen chuckled to himself.

‘If I had to rely solely on Villain Value for these, I wonder how many points would be needed to get such an abundance of high-level spiritual plants!’ Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Jiang Chen eagerly tossed one of the Dao Comprehension rank spiritual plants into his mouth.

The moment the plant reached his stomach, an immense and powerful surge of medicinal energy burst forth.

But Jiang Chen was no longer the man he used to be; his ability to endure such energy had grown tremendously.

A single spiritual plant of the Dao Comprehension rank only left him feeling slightly full.

Soon, the vast medicinal energy gathered in his Dantian and was completely absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus!

Without delay, the Burning World Red Lotus regained a trace of its vivid red hue.

Moreover, a surge of peculiar energy flowed back into Jiang Chen, instantly raising his cultivation base by another notch!

Not only did his cultivation level increase, but his aptitude also improved slightly.

Though it seemed minor, this enhancement was, in truth, incredibly precious!

After that, Jiang Chen continued consuming the spiritual plants without pause.

By the time he had ingested thirty Dao Comprehension rank spiritual plants, the Burning World Red Lotus absorbed an even stronger surge of medicinal energy.

The once withered lotus petals began to regain their luster, growing more vibrant and moist!

At the same time, Jiang Chen’s aptitude and cultivation base were further nourished.

At this point, his cultivation base had risen to the peak of the Early-stage Inquiring Journey realm!

‘I’ve hit a bottleneck!’ Jiang Chen noted quietly, a faint smile forming on his lips as he reached for a breakthrough-type pill of the Inquiring Journey rank.

Ji Mingxiu, Mo Yu, and several others had given him a generous supply of pills, including those specifically meant for overcoming minor realm bottlenecks within the Inquiring Journey realm.

And they were all of the highest quality.

They were exactly what he needed right now!

Popping the pill into his mouth, Jiang Chen began channeling the full power of the Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture!

Instantly, a tremendous wave of medicinal energy surged, merging with the Origin Power within his Dantian, and continuously flowing into his Dao Core.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation radiated from Jiang Chen’s body, followed by a stronger aura naturally emanating outward.

Feeling his cultivation base finally advance to the Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm, a jubilant smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth.

He turned his focus inward, gazing into his Dantian, only to see his sun-like Dao Core glowing with an even brighter radiance!

The vast and powerful Origin Power flowed into it, transforming into a more refined Dao Origin Power.

This enhanced energy then flowed back into Jiang Chen’s Dantian, coursing through his meridians and permeating every corner of his body, enhancing his abilities on all levels.

In a short span, Jiang Chen felt a significant surge in his strength.

‘System, display my panel!’ With a single thought, Jiang Chen summoned his attribute panel.

As someone who had only practiced cultivation methods of the Inquiring Journey rank, he knew that no matter how many techniques he mastered, they couldn’t make up for the difference in quality.

Jiang Chen chose another spiritual plant and popped it into his mouth.

To raise his true combat power to the Dao Comprehension realm, increasing his cultivation base was the most fundamental and effective approach!

The next step would be to practice cultivation methods of the Dao Comprehension rank.

However, he was currently low on qi and blood energy and didn’t have the time to train on his own.

He would have to find opportunities to gather qi and blood energy later.

Given the current situation of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, he anticipated that there would be unrest soon, which would inevitably lead to conflicts-and with them, a surge of qi and blood energy for him to harvest!
