Chapter 290
The purpose of developing extraordinary meridians was to form all of the holy points in the extraordinary meridians.
There was no shortcut. People had to form them one by one. Even panaceas could only help people strengthen their bodies to enhance the success rate.
And panaceas hardly worked. The Sacred Institute had done an experiment to study panaceas’ effect on forming holy points. One of the two subjects developed his extraordinary meridians with the help of panaceas, while the other had without. It turned out that the results the two had seen were basically the same.
But in Jiang Chen’s opinion, this meant the alchemists in the Nine Heavens Continent weren’t very good.
If their panaceas were only placebos, the breakthrough panaceas he refined could be described as a wonder drug.
He was going to develop all eight of his extraordinary meridians before the fight with Shui Chun.
From his experience fighting with Shui Chun at the Soothing Lake, it would be fine even if he didn’t develop them, although the fight hadn’t been desperate enough for him to figure out all of Shui Chun’s abilities.
Ying Wushuang was afraid Jiang Chen would be injured, but she noticed he had instantly absorbed the wind and lightning.
When he turned around, his fluttering black hair was still flowing in the wind, and the light blue glow of his eyes was slowly disappearing.
“Are you practicing?” Ying Wushuang said in surprise.
“Yep.”
“You absorbed the wind and lightning, keeping them in you, like spirits?”
“I keep them in my extraordinary meridians. They’ll arrive at my Qihai through the extraordinary meridians to manipulate the halo of heaven.” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile complacently after he had finished speaking. It wasn’t difficult to imagine how satisfied he was with himself.
“Is it powerful?” That was the only thing Ying Wushuang cared about.
“You’ll see when I fight Shui Chun. So, what did the Hero Palace say? Are they going to teach me a lesson?” Jiang Chen asked.
“They thought you were going to go back to the Fire Field to do business with the spiritual herbs and raw materials you purchased,” said Ying Wushuang.
“And you explained it for them?” asked Jiang Chen. If she hadn’t, it would’ve been the grand elders who came to see him.
“Yeah. They didn’t completely believe me. They want to see the result,” answered Ying Wushuang.
“They’re so stingy. I even told them the way to develop two extraordinary meridians that applied to the Reaching Heaven States who had developed none. That’s more valuable than what I’ve spent.”
Jiang Chen had experienced a lot of unpleasant things since he had come to the Hero Palace, so he was very unhappy to hear this news.
Ying Wushuang didn’t answer. This wasn’t something she was concerned with.
“Are you really gonna use the power of wind and lightning in a practical fight? You’re not just supposed to defeat your rival. This is a fight to the death. You’ll die if you don’t know your power well enough,” said Ying Wushuang.
“What do you mean?”
Ying Wushuang took her sword out and said indifferently, “All these problems started when you meddled in my affairs with Mu Rongxing. I don’t want you to die.”
“I won’t die, so let me see how powerful the captain of the Department of Discipline is.”
Jiang Chen was happy to have someone to exchange blows with. Due to what she had said, he had also changed his opinion towards Ying Wushuang.
