Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 422: The Second Layer

Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Second Layer

The newcomer was none other than someone from the Wei Family.

Leading them was the Wei Family Master himself.

"Wei Family Master, you took my spot in the auction house, and now in front of all these people, you’re trying to rob me again?"

Ling Chen said with a faint smile.

After all, he was a student of the Star Academic Palace, and in King City, probably no one would dare confront him openly.

"No, no, no!"

The Wei Family Master quickly waved his hands: "Young Master Ling, you misunderstand. I came to apologize. The matter at the auction house was my fault, please don’t take it to heart. This token is meant as compensation for you!"

With that, he handed over a spirit ring.

Once Ling Chen accepted the spirit ring and identified it as his, he immediately sensed that it contained ten thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones.

"Hmm!"

Ling Chen nodded slightly and said, "Wei Family Master, you have put effort into this."

"A small gift, not worthy of respect."

The Wei Family Master smiled sycophantically.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head back to the Academic Palace."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Please, you two!"

People from the Wei Family immediately cleared a path.

"Let’s go."

Ling Chen casually tossed the spirit ring to Ling Wu.

Ten thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones meant nothing in his eyes.

Just today’s orders after the auction allowed him to make no less than several hundred thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones. Why would he care about such a small amount?

Watching Ling Chen’s disappearing back, the corner of Wei Family Master’s mouth twitched slightly.

Ten thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, just tossed aside to someone else?

That was ten thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones!

Was Ling Chen simply too extravagant?

However, considering that Ling Chen was a distinguished guest of Zhou Tian Trading, he felt relieved.

Zhou Tian Trading making connections with Ling Chen, how could the resources they offered be meager?

...

In the King City, at the Jiang Family.

Inside a secret room.

Jiang Buxiang looked at the person kneeling before him in black garb, asking, "What did the Dark Night say?"

"Reporting to the Family Head, Dark Night said, to assassinate Ling Chen, they would need two hundred thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones!"

The man in black replied respectfully.

"What?"

Jiang Buxiang raged: "For a Ling Chen, at most a ninth stage of the Primordial Pill Realm, they want two hundred thousand high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, why don’t they just go rob someone?"

"Family Head, the people from Dark Night said, Ling Chen’s power is deeply hidden, and he has Arrow God backing him. If they kill Ling Chen, they are sure to face Arrow God’s revenge! That’s why the price is so high."

The black-robed person explained.

"Bullshit!"

Jiang Buxiang cursed: "They, Dark Night, are not even afraid of King You, would they fear Qing Cang who can’t even defeat King You?"

"How formidable Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power is, it’s still easy as flipping one’s hand for a high-grade Divine Thought Master to strike him down!"

"I think this Dark Night is just fucking inflating prices on the spot!"

After Jiang Buxiang vented, the black-robed person finally said, "Family Head, should we request that person from Star Academic Palace to take action?"

"Bang!"

Jiang Buxiang kicked the black-robed person to the ground, scolding, "Are you stupid? Does that old fart even respect me as the Family Head? If he knew, he would surely report it straight to the emperor!"

"Besides, this kind of thing, killing a talent from the Star Academic Palace, must be done by someone else. If it comes out, our Jiang Family can’t escape responsibility!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The black-robed person got up and hurriedly agreed.

After a while, Jiang Buxiang sighed and said, "Forget it, if Dark Night won’t take it, there are other assassin organizations. Contact Moon Shadow!"

I thought Dark Night would be interested in killing a talent from Star Academic Palace.

After all, Dark Night specialized in opposing the Court.

Who would have thought, Dark Night would quote such a high price.

However, in Great Xia, there’s more than one assassin organization.

This Moon Shadow is a very powerful assassin organization.

Even stronger than Dark Night.

Spread throughout the surrounding major dynasties.

And here in Great Xia, it is merely a branch.

"Yes!"

The man in black took the orders and left.

Bamboo Garden of the Academic Palace.

In the room, Ling Chen sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, which faintly emitted a sharp light.

At this moment, he had adjusted himself to his peak condition.

A flash of light in his right hand, and a white jade stone appeared.

It was a thousand-year-old Cold Jade.

Ling Chen passed the Cold Jade to his left hand, and his right hand produced a short blade, infusing it with Spiritual Power before cutting towards the jade.

The blade traced along, and a milky-white liquid slowly started to flow out from the Cold Jade.

This milky-white liquid was Cold Jade Marrow.

Spiritual Power surged from his left hand, enveloping the milky liquid.

Once all the Jade Marrow had flowed out, Ling Chen placed the Cold Jade on the ground.

"Ding!"

However, a crisp sound emerged from within the Cold Jade, as if there was something inside.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen was immediately attracted by the sound.

His right-hand blade cut again, thoroughly splitting the Cold Jade open.

A piece of blue jade, the size of a baby’s palm, appeared in his view.

"Ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade?"

A thick surprise flashed through Ling Chen’s eyes.

Unexpectedly, this piece of thousand-year-old Cold Jade actually contained jade within jade.

And it was ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade!

A stream of Divine Soul Telekinesis shot out from his Heavenly Spirit, directly entering the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade.

"It really is ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow!"

Ling Chen exclaimed with immense surprise.

Merely thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow was not enough for him to elevate his physical body to the second level of the Undying Star Physique.

Unexpectedly, like finding a pillow when dozing off, he actually discovered ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow!

Ling Chen immediately started working, splitting open that small piece of ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade and cautiously extracting the Cold Jade Marrow within.

Afterward, Spiritual Power enveloped the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow, directly entering Ling Chen’s mouth.

"Retract!"

With a thought from Ling Chen, the Spiritual Power enveloping the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow immediately retracted, and the intensely cold Cold Jade Marrow suddenly filled Ling Chen’s entire mouth.

An extremely cold aura instantly spread throughout his body, causing Ling Chen to shiver uncontrollably.

Even a layer of white frost appeared on his skin.

Using ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow to temper the physical body must not be isolated with Spiritual Power, otherwise, it wouldn’t achieve the best tempering effect.

Following that, Ling Chen directly used the spell of the Undying Star Physique, allowing the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow to circulate within his body.

As the Cold Jade Marrow circulated, Ling Chen’s physical body also gradually strengthened amidst the intense cold.

A full half-hour passed before the ten-thousand-year-old Cold Jade Marrow was completely depleted.

"Boom!"

Ling Chen’s body shook, and a strong sensation rose from within his heart.

"Undying Star Physique, Second Level!"

Ling Chen grinned, his eyes brimming with thick surprise.

With a thought, he immediately activated the Undying Star Physique.

Faint starlight emerged from Ling Chen’s body.

Furthermore, in the starlight, a faint blue light twinkled.

Ling Chen clenched his right hand, then launched a punch!

"Boom!"

Immediately, a low bursting sound echoed throughout the room.

"So powerful!"

Ling Chen exclaimed excitedly.

This strike was no less than the casual strike of a Primordial Pill Realm sixth-level cultivator!

That is to say, his physical body now can rival that of a Primordial Pill Realm sixth-level cultivator!
