"City Lord never comes to me for no reason. Just get straight to the point."
Jiang Chen smiled. He knew very well that Yan Dongliu wouldn't come to him for no reason. Since Yan Dongliu had come, he must have something to ask of him.
"Grandmaster Jiang is really a straightforward man. In that case, I'll get straight to the point. Here's the thing …"
Yan Dongliu wasn't a man who liked to waste time. Immediately, he told Jiang Chen about the ore mine outside Yan City. Naturally, the most important part was the competition between the Prefecture and the Huang Family.
"I suppose City Lord wants me to represent the Prefecture in the competition, right?"
Jiang Chen was a smart man. Plus, he was very interested after hearing about the ore mine. He had just arrived in the Immortal World not too long ago and needed a lot of Immortal Meta Stones. As the saying goes, everyone knows their own business. Unlike others, he had already witnessed the scariness of the dragon transformation skill. The further one cultivated this skill, the more Immortal Meta Stones would be consumed. "That's right.
There are three geniuses in the Huang Family, known as the Three Heroes of the Huang Family of Yan City. All three of them are very powerful, having reached the late Earth Immortal realm, especially Huang Ying's son, Huang Haofei. Apart from Qingcheng, there's only Yuan Chengjun left in the Prefecture. There's no third genius in the young generation. Although Grandmaster Jiang is young and is only a late Human Immortal expert, your talent is amazing. Even Huang Xiong, a late Earth Immortal expert, was killed by you. Apart from you, there's no one else in the Prefecture who can compete with you. "
Said Yan Dongliu.
"Oh?"
Jiang Chen knitted his brows, seeming to be in a dilemma, but inwardly, he was incomparably happy. This was a business that he couldn't miss.
"Grandmaster doesn't need to worry too much. Chengjun and Qingcheng will fight in the first and second round. As long as they win, Grandmaster doesn't need to fight in the third round. As long as Grandmaster agrees to it, I will certainly give you some benefits."
Yan Dongliu thought that Jiang Chen was in a difficult position because of fear, but in his point of view, it was normal. Although Jiang Chen was powerful, he was only a late Human Immortal after all. He hadn't even reached the half-step Earth Immortal realm. Although he was able to kill Huang Xiong, how could Huang Xiong be compared to geniuses like Huang Haofei? If Jiang Chen wasn't afraid, he wouldn't have let Huang Haoran insult him.
"Since City Lord has put it this way, I won't stand on ceremony. Let's be clear about some things first. If Yuan Chengjun and Miss Qingcheng are able to win, there's naturally no need for me to act. I won't ask for any benefits either. If they lose the first round and I help the City Lord's Mansion win the third round, I want 20% of the mine."
Jiang Chen.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Dongliu almost exclaimed. Asking for 20% of the Immortal Meta Stones? Wasn't this Jiang Chen's appetite a little too big?
"City Lord, you can consider it. If it's possible, I will agree to it."
Jiang Chen smiled. At this point, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.
Yan Dongliu thought for a while and said, "Alright, as long as Grandmaster Jiang can help the Prefecture win the mine, I will give you 20%."
Yan Dongliu was a shrewd man. After regaining his composure, he felt that Jiang Chen's condition wasn't too excessive. After all, Jiang Chen had to fight and win the first round. In other words, if Yan Qingcheng and Yuan Chengjun lost the first round, they must win the third round. Otherwise, the mine would belong to Huang Family and the Prefecture wouldn't get a single strand of it.
If Jiang Chen could win the third round, even if Jiang Chen was given 20%, the Prefecture would still get 60%. More importantly, he didn't believe that Jiang Chen could defeat Huang Haoran. As a matter of fact, his real hope was still on Yuan Chengjun and Yan Qingcheng. He didn't have too much hope for Jiang Chen. After all, Jiang Chen's cultivation base was too low. If Jiang Chen could really defeat Huang Haoran, it would be worthwhile for the Prefecture to spend a fortune to befriend a monstrous genius like Jiang Chen, because Jiang Chen's future achievements would be limitless. Befriending him would only bring benefits to the Prefecture.
"When is the competition?"
Asked Jiang Chen.
"Tomorrow, outside the mine."
Said Yan Dongliu.
"En, no problem."
Jiang Chen smiled. No matter what, his smile was always full of confidence. Yan Dongliu didn't know where Jiang Chen got his confidence from, but such confidence could always affect the people around him, making them feel hopeful.
After Yan Dongliu left, Jiang Chen continued to refine the spiritual marks. He knew his own strength very well. Although Huang Haoran and the other two were stronger than Huang Xiong, Jiang Chen wasn't afraid of them at all. Putting aside the fact that he would advance to the half-step Earth Immortal realm tomorrow, his trump cards would be enough to deal with anything even if he didn't advance to the half-step Earth Immortal realm.
Early the next morning …
The higher ups of the Prefecture had gathered outside the gate of the Prefecture. There were more than a dozen of them. All of them were very strong. Apart from Yan Qingcheng and Yuan Chengjun who were late Earth Immortal realm, the rest were already half-step Heaven Immortal realm. They were the true higher ups of the Prefecture. Today's competition with Huang Family could be considered as a major event in the Prefecture, not only because of the competition of Immortal Meta Stones, but also because of the competition between the young generation of Yan City. The losing side was destined to have a severe impact on their morale.
Jiang Chen, clad in a white robe, walked out of the Prefecture leisurely.
"Humph! How could the Prefecture send a late Human Immortal to participate in such a major event? What a joke. Fighting alongside him is an incomparably shameful thing. "
Yuan Chengjun said sarcastically, displeased at the sight of Jiang Chen.
"Why does Big Brother Yuan always pick on Big Brother Jiang? Although Big Brother Jiang is only a late Human Immortal, he has killed Huang Xiong with his own hands. Isn't such strength enough to represent the Prefecture?"
Yan Qingcheng was incomparably dissatisfied.
"Chengjun, Qingcheng is right. We can't find a third genius to represent the Prefecture. The two of you are the most important participants in this competition. As long as you two can win the first two matches, Master Jiang won't need to do anything."
Yuan Hong said.
Yan Dongliu shook his head and didn't speak a word. He knew that Yuan Chengjun liked his daughter for a long time, but his daughter seemed to be more interested in Jiang Chen. In this case, it was normal for Yuan Chengjun to have a prejudice against Jiang Chen. However, this was the relationship between young people. Yan Dongliu wouldn't get involved in it.
Under the lead of Yan Dongliu, the group of people headed towards the ore mountain. Basically, no one had any objection to the choice of choosing Jiang Chen to represent the Prefecture. After all, they knew the situation of the Prefecture very well. Apart from Jiang Chen, they couldn't find a third genius. Besides, Jiang Chen was a famous alchemist. They had seen Jiang Chen's alchemy skills. It could be said to be superb and shocking. Even if they were half-step Heaven Immortal experts, they wouldn't offend a powerful alchemist for no reason. On the contrary, it would be beneficial for them to befriend Jiang Chen.
When the people from the City Lord Mansion arrived at the ore mountain, the people from the Huang Family and Yi Yuan Association had already arrived ahead of them. This was a grand meeting between the three major forces, and the strength of the three forces could be said to be unprecedentedly strong.
Among the people of Huang Family, there were three dignified young men with a face full of pride. They were Huang Haofei, Huang Haoran and Huang Haoming, the three heroes of the Huang Family. They were also the three contestants of the Huang Family.
Seeing the arrival of the people of the Prefecture, the people of Huang Family and Yi Yuan Association immediately looked over. Naturally, their eyes were focused on the young men of the Prefecture and the contestants. Putting aside Yan Qingcheng and Yuan Chengjun, the appearance of Jiang Chen was the most eye-catching one.
Almost without introduction, they had already guessed the identity of Jiang Chen. This new senior alchemist of the Prefecture had gained quite a reputation these days.
"Is this man Jiang Chen?"
Huang Haoran's knife-like eyes fell on Jiang Chen. He didn't conceal his killing intent at all. He had been cursing outside the Prefecture for two days, but in the end, he didn't even get to see Jiang Chen's face. It was impossible for him not to feel depressed.
"Dad, Yan Dongliu really let Jiang Chen fight. This is the chance to avenge Sixth Uncle. Today, no matter what, we must kill him and get rid of future troubles for the Huang Family."
Huang Haofei said in an incomparably cold tone.
"Let me deal with him. Brother Fei, Brother Ming, you two go first. As long as you win one of the battles, I will definitely kill this Jiang Chen."
Huang Haoran said with incomparable confidence.
"Alright. Among the three of us, Brother Fei's combat strength is the strongest, but the most difficult one to deal with is Haoran. The Prefecture wouldn't have thought of this. This time, not only will we kill Jiang Chen, 80% of the ore mine will also belong to our Huang family. It's time for our Huang family to establish our prestige."
Huang Haoming said with a sneer.
"Brother Yan, this time, Huang Haofei, Huang Haoming and Huang Haoran will be the representatives of the Huang Family. I wonder if your Prefecture has chosen their representatives?"
Nie Yiyuan said with a smile.
"Of course. Yuan Chengjun, Yan Qingcheng and Jiang Chen will be the representatives of the Prefecture."
Yan Dongliu said.
"Haha! Sure enough, the Prefecture doesn't have anyone to send. Sending a late Human Immortal to fight? But it must be tough on you."
Huang Ying burst into laughter. He wouldn't let go of any chance to ridicule Yan Dongliu.
"The Patriarch of Huang Family is indeed a hero. I really admire you for being able to laugh so happily after the death of your own brother."
Jiang Chen said in an indifferent tone. Although it was an indifferent remark, it was extremely lethal and poked at Huang Ying's sore spot.
The smile on Huang Ying's face froze in an instant. He stared at Jiang Chen with killing intent.
"Brat, you should continue to be a cowardly tortoise. Since you dare to show up today, it will be the day of your death. You will know what will happen to you after killing my men."
