Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 295 - 295 284 Zhang Ling takes the elixir

295: 284 Zhang Ling takes the elixir 295: 284 Zhang Ling takes the elixir They weren’t lines of darkness, but armored riders clad in black, charging towards Qingcheng Mountain on their steeds, their battle banners raised high.

An enormous surge of vitality poured out from them, coalescing in mid-air like a tumultuous tidal wave, engulfing the nine layers of the Yun Xiao and radiating an astonishing might.

This was the million-strong cavalry of the Great Han state.

Without Jiang Chen, they would have been the saviors of the souls of the Shu Region.

The horror, represented by the countless evil spirits of the Shu Region, was to be suppressed by them.

In this million-strong cavalry, the weakest of them all have achieved perfection in the acquired stage.

Among them were many Innate masters and strong Yang Gods, and there’s no shortage of those from the Immortal Dao.

They were the ultimate foundation, the indestructible cornerstone of the Great Han state.

The vitality exuded by a million warriors was enough to stop even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Enhanced by the national fate of the Great Han and the fate of the human race, it would even make the mighty Daluo Dao venerable frown.

As long as this million-strong cavalry was prepared to make any sacrifice, they could definitely suppress the ghosts of the Shu Region in a short time.

Even if the six great ghost gods were to intervene, they would not evade the fate of being suppressed.

Although the Great Han was declining, it had not been extinguished.

Being the orthodox of the human race, with the support of the fate of the human race, it was not something insignificant Great Luo Golden Immortals could offend.

Regrettably, the strongest part of the Great Han cavalry arrived too late.

The plague of the wicked spirits in the Shu Region has been solved by Jiang Chen single-handedly.

This for the Great Han cavalry was also a silver lining.

Without Jiang Chen to suppress the plague of wicked spirits, even though this million-strong cavalry could have also suppressed the ghost problems, not to mention the cost in terms of energy and time, there would also likely be significant loss in human and horse power.

Jiang Chen coming into action could be said to have done them a huge favor.

These cavalrymen from the Great Han came to the Shu Region and especially sought to meet Jiang Chen to express their gratitude.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Innate Eight Diagrams turned once, Jiang Chen became aware of the purpose of these men, but he did not intend to meet with Han generals.

He simply called for Zhang Ling to handle the matter.

Zhang Ling was proficient in both literary and military matters.

If he had not been wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, he could have secured a position among the three rulers of the court.

Therefore, it was most appropriate to leave such mundane matters to him.

Following orders, Zhang Ling directly went down the mountain.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, took out his disciples’ name list and began to ponder quietly.

In his possession, Jiang Chen had nine mysterious pills that could instantly turn a mortal into a Golden Immortal.

These nine mysterious pills, born of the fate of the Shangqing Palace, were naturally to be used on the disciples of the Shangqing Palace.

However, besides the three direct disciples of Zhang Ling, the Shangqing Palace had over three hundred ordinary disciples.

With three hundred disciples and only nine mystical pills, there was clearly not enough to share.

Therefore, deciding who should get the pills and who shouldn’t was a headache for Jiang Chen.

Although he is the master of Shangqing Palace, to tell the truth, Jiang Chen basically has no impression of the disciples in the Palace.

He also has no idea about their character and abilities.

Asking Jiang Chen to select the eight most outstanding disciples out of these three hundred and give them the mysterious pills to help them achieve the realm of immortality was a difficult task indeed.

After pondering for a while, he couldn’t come up with a good solution, so Jiang Chen decided to stop thinking about it.

When Zhang Ling reported back, he would give the nine mystical pills to him.

When it comes to familiarity with the disciples, all these disciples were accepted by Zhang Ling, so he must know them well.

After all, Jiang Chen was planning to be a laissez-faire leader for the Shangqing Palace.

In that case, it was better to let Zhang Ling handle everything.

This would also save Jiang Chen a lot of trouble.

Thinking this way, Jiang Chen was no longer annoyed.

He casually took out the Dao guide, gained insight into the Dao rhyme of Pangu inside, and waited for Zhang Ling to return.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen heard footsteps coming and rubbed his somewhat swollen head to regain his senses.

The Dao rhyme of Pangu was too mystical.

Jiang Chen had thought that after breaking through, he would gain some insight into the Dao rhyme of Pangu in the Dao guide, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

After studying the Dao rhyme of Pangu for a while, Jiang Chen had a headache rather than any other feelings.

His state of mind in the Heavenly Human Realm was still too low to comprehend the Dao rhyme of Pangu.

At this time, Zhang Ling’s voice came from outside the hall, “Disciple Zhang Ling, requesting to see the master.”

Jiang Chen cleared away the mess in his mind and replied in a deep voice, “Come in.”

Zhang Ling entered the hall as instructed, came to Jiang Chen, and reported in a low voice, “Master, the Han general has led the cavalry away.”

Jiang Chen nodded, “I already know.”

Then, Zhang Ling said, “Master, after the Han general learned about your deeds, he decided to ask the emperor to grant you the title of the state-protecting deity and establish our Shangqing Palace as…”

Jiang Chen impatiently interrupted Zhang Ling, “You take care of these mundane matters yourself.

You don’t have to involve me.”

“I won’t be staying on the Nanbuzhan Continent for long.

Shangqing Palace will eventually be given to you.

You should learn to handle this by yourself.”

Before Zhang Ling could respond, Jiang Chen said, “Let’s not talk about these annoying things, I have a matter of creation to give you.””

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling perked up instantly, asking with anticipation, “What benefits does the master want to give me?””

Jiang Chen laughed softly, took out the nine mysterious pills, and said, “I have nine mystical pills here.

If a mortal consumes one, they can at the very least reach the Golden Immortal realm or aim for the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.”

“Now, I grant these nine mystical pills to you.

You can consume one first.

Save the remaining eight pills.

If you encounter a suitable disciple or one who has achieved a major feat, you can reward this mysterious pill to them.”

A pill capable of transforming a mortal into a Golden Immortal?

Hearing this, Zhang Ling began to pant.

He was merely a Mysterious Immortal, which was the moment when he would benefit most from the mysterious pill.

If he consumed this pill, he could not even begin to imagine how many years of arduous cultivation it would save him.

Watching Zhang Ling’s expression, Jiang Chen knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, “Alright, since I’m free anyway, I’ll help you refine the pill here.”

Jiang Chen took out a mystical pill, pointed at Zhang Ling, and called out, “Open your mouth!”

In response to Jiang Chen’s command, Zhang Ling unconsciously opened his mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen flicked his finger, shooting the mystical pill into Zhang Ling’s mouth.

The mystical pill turned into a warm current as soon as it entered his mouth.

It flowed down his throat, first entering his abdomen, then diffusing into the rest of his body via his meridians.

Seeing Zhang Ling’s somewhat vacant expression, Jiang Chen shouted: “Sit down, face down, calm your mind, and try your best to refine the pill’s power.”

Zhang Ling came back to his senses immediately and did as Jiang Chen instructed.

He sat down in a meditative posture and circulated his internal magical power to fully refine the power of the pill.

At this moment, the statue formed by the divine being of Upper Qing Saints sensed something and emitted a bright Upper Qing immortal light that fell into Zhang Ling’s body, helping him condense his magical power to refine the medicine.

The radiance of the immortal light illuminated Zhang Ling’s body thoroughly.
