Chapter 259: Feigning Weakness!
However, Qin Jiang's face darkened.
"That's it?"
This elixir bore no fragrance at all, and in Qin Jiang's eyes, its quality was at most mediocre or slightly below average—hardly alluring to him.
Compared to the Qi Sea Elixirs he had refined, it was far from close.
"What's with that expression?" Ye Longchen was somewhat displeased. "Do you know how many in the Martial Arts Bureau would kill for a Transformation Realm Elixir and can't get one? I even paid out of my own pocket to give you one, and you're still not satisfied?"
Seeing Ye Longchen get angry, Qin Jiang didn't dare say much more and hurriedly stowed away the elixir. "It's better than nothing, better than nothing. I'll unceremoniously take it then."
Although the quality of this elixir was average, he estimated that after refining these two elixirs, he could at least equal to two months of his own cultivation. After the refinement, perhaps, his strength could reach the realm of Chu Zhenxiao!
That was considerably stronger than an average practitioner in the latter stages of the Transformation Realm, matching the prowess of those on the Tiger Ranking in the late Transformation Realm!
With time pressing, although the elixir was lackluster, it still came as essential aid amidst the snow.
"Alright! Then you had better prepare yourself," Ye Longchen said indifferently. "I will notify you in advance when the time comes."
Qin Jiang nodded.
After Ye Longchen left, Zhao Yuefei's face was serious. "Qin Jiang, are you sure you want to get involved in this mess? Escorting a Gene Potion is no easy task!"
Qin Jiang took a deep breath. "Anyway, by that time the ban on Jiangcheng will have been lifted, and Chu Junlin and his ilk will find us sooner or later! Even if I don't help, would I be safe and sound?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yuefei fell silent, and only after a while did she speak up. "I'll go with you then."
Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "There's no need! There might be danger on this trip; it's better for you to stay in Jiangcheng."
"I'm not afraid," Zhao Yuefei retorted proudly, lifting her head. "Have I, Zhao Yuefei, ever been afraid?"
Qin Jiang paused. "You would only slow me down."
These words deflated Zhao Yuefei like a balloon, draining all her enthusiasm in an instant. Find more to read at empire
"In your eyes, am I just a burden?"
Qin Jiang didn't speak and turned to leave, only speaking flatly moments later, "Just wait for any news in Jiangcheng."
After Qin Jiang left, Zhao Yuefei finally lifted her eyelids. "Qin Jiang, you this damn straightforward man, do you think that by acting this way you will make me want to give up? The harsher your words, the more they prove you care!"
Zhao Yuefei was no fool; she knew that Qin Jiang's harsh and decisive words were not because he feared she would hinder him but rather he just wanted her not to follow him.
"I'm no longer the Zhao Yuefei I once was..." she muttered to herself.
Qin Jiang returned home and began to meditate and cultivate.
After swallowing the two Transformation Realm Elixirs, a night passed, and when he opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashed!
"My cultivation has become a few notches stronger!"
"It seems that this elixir does indeed have some effects..."
"However, what a pity."
"The method of elixir refinement is too inferior; the full efficacy of the elixir was reduced to less than half its potential."
He could sense that the recipe for the Transformation Realm Elixir was sound, and its effects should have been far greater.
It was just that the person who refined the elixir had a crude technique that affected its efficacy.
Still, it was better than nothing.
Qin Jiang hurriedly had breakfast and was about to head out when Xu Muge's call came through.
"Muge, what's up?"
Xu Muge's voice came slowly, "Qin Jiang, the Rong Family Father and Son just called me, saying they want to make an apology and offered a billion as compensation, asking for our forgiveness."
"They want to get some White Jade ointment from the Jiangge Group to quell this storm."
"The Rong Family? Caving in?" Qin Jiang sneered. "I wonder if they are sincere, or if they have some other schemes up their sleeves?"
Xu Muge hesitated. "Should we meet with them?"
"Meet!" Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes. "I want to see what exactly these two are trying to sell in their gourd."
