Chapter 272
In a back room at the Sacred Institute…
The top management of the Sacred Institute was gathered together. Jiang Chen stood in the middle of them.
Their eyes were sparkling as if they were looking at a priceless treasure.
“Jiang Chen, have you really found a way to develop extraordinary meridians in the Reaching Heaven State?” Shi Gandang was the first one to speak, and the most qualified to pose the question.
“Yep.” Jiang Chen didn’t deny it.
The top figures of the Sacred Institute couldn’t help but beam. They were eager to ask him questions, but in the end, they didn’t. They were considering the right way to put it.
“How?” Shi Gandang asked.
The top management even started to wonder whether Jiang Chen had intentionally led them to this point.
He had told them he had only developed two extraordinary meridians, then he had mentioned how there would be more problems to work on so he could win the Sacred Institute’s attention.
If that was true, Jiang Chen would definitely be a person to fear. Although it was justifiable for him to receive a handsome reward, he was so sophisticated at such a young age that it was stunning.
“Jiang Chen, the Sacred Institute will grant you a scholarship of ten million upper-grade yuan stones every month,” the old dean said suddenly after some consideration.
It seemed like other people were more excited than Jiang Chen. They all looked towards the old dean, but he was very calm. He had made the decision, and he wouldn’t change his mind.
“Ah…”
Jiang Chen hadn’t expected the Sacred Institute to be so generous. He said excitedly, “I’ll try my best to work out the problem as soon as possible.”
In fact, Jiang Chen had told a lie about the problem.
He knew fairly well how to develop the eight extraordinary meridians, but as the old dean had said, this method was too stunning for him to offer a price. In addition, he would expose his secret.
However, he hadn’t expected the Sacred Institute to be so generous. Ten million upper-grade yuan stones was equivalent to 100 million middle-grade yuan stones.
He would be able to afford the herbs he needed for the detoxification.
Yet, Jiang Chen also knew that once he accepted the offer and used these upper-grade yuan stones, he would owe the Sacred Institute a lot and would have to stand together with them.
Fortunately, the Sacred Institute had a good reputation. It was everyone’s dream to stand with them, so Jiang Chen agreed immediately.
After Jiang Chen left the back room, the others couldn’t sit still anymore. They began a heated discussion, thinking the scholarship offered to him was too much, especially if they took Jiang Chen’s identity into consideration.
“It sounds like a lot, but a year only has twelve months, and the scholarship will add up to about 100 million upper-grade yuan stones. If Jiang Chen can’t show us results in a year, we’ll just tell him we have to cancel his scholarship due to opposition from the Hall of Heroes,” the old dean told them his plan.
“Right.”
One hundred million upper-grade yuan stones wasn’t much at all compared to a method that could change the fate of all Reaching Heaven States.
“Besides, I don’t think he could use up 10 million upper-grade yuan stones every month.”
