Chapter 37

The air within the dantian rumbled incessantly, the four clear blood-red dragon patterns wriggling like four blood vessels. The fifth shadow also began to flicker.

With a casual movement of the dragon patterns, a dense blood qi overflowed from Jiang Chen's body. If outsiders saw such a vast amount of blood qi, they would surely gape in astonishment.

For a person's blood qi to be so vigorous, it could almost be compared to those ancient savage beasts.

"The Dragon Transformation Technique is indeed terrifying. With each dragon pattern formed, my blood qi increases, and my physical body becomes even more solid and formidable. However, to truly transform into a dragon and fly, that is still an incredibly distant matter. If I could obtain the true blood of a dragon and refine it, integrating it into the dragon patterns, the Dragon Transformation Technique would be truly perfect. Unfortunately, true dragons are divine beasts that only existed in ancient times; the Holy Yuan Continent no longer has the presence of dragons."

Jiang Chen thought to himself. True dragons are divine beasts, supreme among all beasts, but the Holy Yuan Continent no longer has the presence of true dragons. Jiang Chen's wish to obtain dragon blood to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Technique can only remain a luxury.

Jiang Chen stood up. This trip to Chicheng was highly rewarding. Joining the Yan Rain Tower's caravan was indeed the right decision. Otherwise, obtaining a Qi Soul Essence Pill would have required a great deal of effort.

Now, not only was his soul completely repaired, but his cultivation had also advanced to the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm. With his current strength, he could resist an initial-stage Human Dan Realm expert, and as for Qi Sea Realm cultivators, he could kill them with a wave of his hand, leaving them powerless to retaliate.

Jiang Chen walked out of the courtyard and saw two elders from afar. They were clearly arranged by the Yan family to wait for Jiang Chen to emerge from seclusion. Jiang Chen recognized them; they were the two who had accompanied the caravan, Yan Xing and another. They were standing about a hundred steps away.

Jiang Chen smiled, thinking that Yan Zhan Yun was indeed thoughtful.

He strode forward, and the two also saw Jiang Chen walking out of the courtyard, their faces immediately showing great joy.

"Brother Jiang Chen, you have emerged from seclusion?"

Yan Xing hurriedly approached and bowed, showing respect to Jiang Chen. In the past two days, they had already learned that Jiang Chen was to treat Yan Chenyu, so they were naturally very courteous.

Jiang Chen's identity was known to only a few in the Yan family. After all, he had not yet truly cured Yan Chenyu, and Yan Zhan Yun, knowing of Jiang Chen's relationship with the Li family, had not publicized it.

"En, how is your young miss?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"The condition of our young miss is getting worse day by day. Her state today is even worse than yesterday."

Yan Xing replied.

"En, go inform your family head to bring the young miss here. Also, bring the ingredients for the Purification Pill."

Jiang Chen said, then turned and walked back towards the courtyard.

Hearing this, Yan Xing was overjoyed and hurriedly left.

Soon, Yan Zhan Yun and other initial-stage Human Dan Realm experts rushed over, along with Yan Chenyu.

Yan Chenyu looked even more haggard than before. The cold and yang qi within her body were clashing, rapidly depleting her vitality. If she were not treated soon, she would not live past fifteen years old.

Yan Zhan Yun and the others directly entered the room and saw Jiang Chen sitting calmly on a chair.

"Brother Jiang Chen, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Yan Zhan Yun asked.

"En, have you brought the ingredients for the Purification Pill?"

Jiang Chen, seeing Yan Chenyu's haggard appearance, felt a bit of sympathy.

"They have been brought."

Yan Zhan Yun waved his hand, and over a dozen ingredients were taken out from his storage bag and placed on the table.

"En, they are all high-quality ingredients. I am about to start refining the pill. Either leave or stand here without speaking."

Jiang Chen slowly stood up, and a surge of yuan force emerged from his body. Under the control of the yuan force, the dozen ingredients flew up automatically.

With a flip of his palm, a red flame spread in the air. Under Jiang Chen's control, the flames rolled like wriggling fire dragons.

"Such exquisite fire control."

An elder was incredibly surprised. He was the Yan family's alchemist, already at the middle stage of the Human Dan Realm, but he could not control a single type of flame like Jiang Chen, and refining pills still required a pill furnace.

Buzz...

Soul power spread, merging into the flames. Jiang Chen threw all the dozen ingredients into the sea of fire.

"What?"

The alchemist almost exclaimed. Purification was the most crucial step in refining pills, especially for special pills like the Purification Pill. Purification was extremely difficult. If he were to refine it, he would need to refine each of the dozen ingredients one by one. To throw them all in at once, as Jiang Chen did, was almost unbelievable. This required an extremely high level of soul control.

Yan Zhan Yun and the others were also incredibly surprised. Although they were not alchemists, they had seen alchemists refine pills, and they had never seen anyone do it like Jiang Chen.

They looked at each other, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. It was hard to imagine that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth could have such terrifying alchemy skills.

A remarkable person!

Clap, clap...

The ingredients crackled under the flames, impurities quickly being removed. Jiang Chen's face was calm, his eyes never leaving the sea of fire, his expression extremely serious.

Yan Chenyu, with her beautiful eyes, stared at Jiang Chen refining the pill, completely captivated.

A serious man is the most charming. Jiang Chen's every move exuded a unique masculine aura. Due to the cold qi tormenting her, Yan Chenyu had been confined to her home, never even leaving the Yan family compound, let alone meeting men from outside. Jiang Chen was the first, and he was here to save her life.

Huh!

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Chen lightly shouted, abruptly withdrawing his soul power and the flames. A milky white pill hovered in front of his face.

"Heavens, it's a perfect Purification Pill. He actually refined a perfect Purification Pill in just twenty minutes. Even I can't help but admire him."

The Yan family's alchemist was so astonished that he felt as if he had wasted his years.

A genius of the ages!

This was what everyone thought. This person's future was boundless. Regardless of other aspects, just in alchemy, he would surely become a great master.

The reason Jiang Chen displayed his alchemy skills was also to showcase his value. After all, the Jiang family did not have a true Human Dan Realm expert. If he could gain the Yan family's help, the Li family would be nothing to fear.

"Next, I will treat Miss Yan. Everyone, please leave. During the treatment, no matter what happens, do not enter."

Jiang Chen said coldly.

His gaze swept over everyone, and they all felt a sense of awe, a strange feeling that made them look up to this young man.

Yan Zhan Yun turned to Yan Chenyu: "Yuer, follow Brother Jiang Chen's instructions."

"Don't worry, Father. Yuer will be fine."

Yan Chenyu smiled.

"Brother Jiang Chen, I entrust Yuer to you."

Yan Zhan Yun bowed deeply to Jiang Chen, then led everyone out of the room, closing the door tightly.

"Head of the family, don't worry. This Jiang Chen is full of mystery and is certainly not rash. He will surely cure Yuer."

Yan Hongtai patted Yan Zhan Yun's shoulder. Yan Zhan Yun nodded heavily, taking a deep breath. To say he was not nervous would be a lie.

Several initial-stage Human Dan Realm experts stayed in the courtyard, not daring to leave.

Inside the room, Jiang Chen and Yan Chenyu stood facing each other.

"Miss Yan, please take the Purification Pill first."

Jiang Chen handed the Purification Pill to Yan Chenyu.

"Sir Jiang, please don't be too formal. Call me Xiaoyu."

Yan Chenyu took the Purification Pill, her hand trembling slightly when it touched Jiang Chen's fingers.

"Don't worry too much. I won't let anything happen to you."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"En, I believe you."

Yan Chenyu nodded. This was only their second meeting, but for some reason, this young man gave her a strong sense of security.

Yan Chenyu swallowed the Purification Pill and looked up at Jiang Chen.

"Sit cross-legged and adjust your state to the best. Focus your mind and don't think about anything else."

Jiang Chen said seriously.

"En."

Yan Chenyu sat down on the ground.

Jiang Chen also squatted down, sitting opposite Yan Chenyu. Their eyes met, and a blush rose to Yan Chenyu's cheeks.

"Xiaoyu, I will use a special method to help you expel all the yang qi from your body. The process might be a bit painful, so you need to endure it."

Jiang Chen said.

"En, Xiaoyu can endure it."

Yan Chenyu nodded. She had endured the cold qi for eight years.

"Cough, Xiaoyu, the Purification Pill cannot eliminate the essence of the yang qi in your body. It will only force out the yang qi lurking deep within. To thoroughly clear it, I need to guide it through your Shenque point. I have no intention of offending you, please don't be angry."

Jiang Chen explained.

Hearing about the Shenque point, Yan Chenyu's face turned red. The Shenque point is a vital point, located at the navel.

The Dragon Transformation Technique can absorb any energy. Jiang Chen's method was to use the Dragon Transformation Technique to guide the yang qi from Yan Chenyu's body through her Shenque point into his own body.

"En."

Yan Chenyu lowered her head, almost burying it in her chest. This person was going to touch her navel, which was so embarrassing. No one had ever touched her there, and he was going to touch her Shenque point. Oh, how embarrassing!

Jiang Chen, unaware of Yan Chenyu's thoughts, pointed directly at her Shenque point. He felt a softness at his fingertip, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.

Ah!

Jiang Chen's sudden action made Yan Chenyu's body tremble, and she couldn't help but exclaim. Her face flushed, and she looked at Jiang Chen with a resentful gaze. How could he be so abrupt, not even giving her a warning, and she wasn't even prepared.

"Hold your breath and completely relax your mind and body."

Jiang Chen shouted, as Yan Chenyu's condition was very critical, and the process could not have any mistakes.

Yan Chenyu didn't dare to delay and quickly closed her eyes.

A stream of yuan force containing Jiang Chen's divine consciousness flowed into Yan Chenyu's body through the Shenque point.
