Chapter 181: Five Years of Change
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
In the past five years, be it Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, or the entire Jiang family members, they had all changed greatly.
First was Jiang Chengxuan.
At this moment, he had already successfully refined the dark golden iron rod and the Six Directions Pagoda.
At the same time, he also used the Azure Dragon Wood Crystal to increase the power of his divine power, the Azure Emperor’s Heaven-Slaying Saber.
In addition, during this process, his accumulation of Dharmic power reached an upper limit. He actually successfully broke through to the third level of the Violet Palace without any external help.
The total amount of Dharmic power had increased by more than 30% compared to before.
With all the treasures in his possession, not to mention facing a cultivator at the fourth level of the Violet Palace, he could even fight a cultivator at the fifth or even the sixth level.
The only unsatisfactory thing was his soul.
So far, he had not found a way to improve the soul.
This was also something Shen Ruyan was thinking about.
Originally, she wanted to use the Essence Soul Fruit that Huang Wenyu had given her as the main ingredient to refine the Essence Soul Pill.
Unfortunately, up until now, she had not been able to find the other indispensable spiritual item to refine the Essence Soul Pill, the Cloud Spirit Purple Water.
Hence, this matter was pushed back.
After some time, she and Jiang Chengxuan would try to find the Cloud Spirit Purple Water.
If they still could not find it, they could only consume the Essence Soul Fruit directly.
At that time, when the strength of their souls increased, they could consider obtaining the corresponding Spirit Refinement Technique.
After her cultivation broke through to the third level of the Violet Palace, she recovered another portion of her memory.
She could follow her memory and find the inheritance and treasures she had left for herself in her previous life with Jiang Chengxuan.
Just like how they had found the Five Elements Lightning Pool back then.
Something had to be mentioned here.
After her cultivation broke through to the third level of the Violet Palace, not only did Shen Ruyan recover some of her memory, but she also learned a divine power called the Fire And Water Divine Lightning.
This divine power combined two opposite attributes, fire and water.
Once it was used, its offensive power would definitely be the strongest among all of Shen Ruyan’s current methods.
In addition, she also used the demon core of the Level 3 Cyan Lightning Wind Bird and the Lightning Essence Stone to raise her Five Lightning Immortal Slayer to that of a mid-grade Level 3 Dharma treasure.
It had to be known that the power of any intrinsic Dharma treasure was a grade higher than ordinary Dharma treasures.
In other words, Shen Ruyan’s Five Lightning Immortal Slayer was already comparable to a high-grade Level 3 Dharma treasure.
Furthermore, intrinsic Dharma treasures were connected to their owners and were extremely compatible. Therefore, the consumption of Dharmic power would be much lower than ordinary Dharma treasures.
Finally, the entire Jiang family had also undergone a change.
In five years, the cultivation and strength of many members in the family had increased to varying degrees.
The family head, Jiang Renyi, had broken through to the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment.
Second Elder Jiang Renchuan broke through from the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment to the fifth level.
Third Elder Jiang Rendao refined his body and True Essence in preparation for the Violet Palace Realm that might come in the future.
As for Fourth Elder Liu Linglong, her cultivation had also broken through to the eighth level.
In addition.
Because of resources like the Foundation Establishment Pill, three new Foundation Establishment elders were nurtured in the Jiang family in five years.
They were Jiang Renchuan’s daughter, Jiang Yunrou, Jiang Rendao’s second son, Jiang Yuncheng, and Jiang Renxue, who was of the same generation as Jiang Renyi.
At this moment, on the main peak of the Jiang family, Tianjiang Peak.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were listening to the reports of the three brothers, Liu Linglong, and the three new Foundation Establishment elders.
According to them, because Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had returned to the family, the industries and businesses that the Jiang family had lost had been taken back.
Some of them were voluntarily returned by those who snatched them.
However, some of them were only taken back by the Jiang family after they went in person.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not say anything.
They believed that the three Jiang brothers, Liu Linglong, and the others could handle such matters very well. They did not need to worry too much.
“By the way…”
At this moment, the family head, Jiang Renyi, seemed to have thought of something very important.
He solemnly took out a jade box from his body.
Inside the jade box was a spiritual herb that was completely blue. On its leaves and roots, there were specks of starlight.
‘What is this?’
When they suddenly saw the spiritual herb that Jiang Renyi took out, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes narrowed.
Jiang Renyi explained,
“Granduncle, Grandaunt, this mid-grade Level 3 Glorious Star Grass was sent over by the You family.”
“The You family?”
Hearing Jiang Renyi’s words, not only Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, but even the others present were surprised.
“What exactly happened?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan sat up straight.
Then, Jiang Renyi told them about how the new head of the You family, You Changsheng, came over to apologize.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan heard this, they subconsciously narrowed their eyes.
This new head of the You family was not simple.
He could actually humble himself to that extent.
Most importantly, he did not deny the things the You family had done to the Jiang family over the years.
This was rare.
He was responsible, sincere, and compensating, making it impossible to find fault with him.
With such a person in charge, it seemed that the You family would not fall so easily in the future.
The You family’s ancestor was also quite impressive.
He was actually willing to take out such a mid-grade Level 3 treasure to appease the Jiang family’s anger.
He was really decisive.
After Jiang Renyi and the others left, Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but look at Shen Ruyan and ask,
“Wife, what do you think about the You family?”
