The matter of the Nether Candle can only be dealt with this way for now. Jiang Wang cannot move it out of the Tongtian Palace, nor does he have a guaranteed method to burn it completely and eliminate Jiang Yan.

Conversely, Jiang Yan’s forced extinguishing of the Divine Soul Flame Flower proves that he at least has the ability to severely injure Jiang Wang’s divine soul.

Therefore, compromise is inevitable for Jiang Wang – and it must be said, Jiang Yan truly understands him.

In the end, he can only temporarily reach an agreement with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan promises never to try to dominate Jiang Wang’s decisions again, and promises never to leave the Nether Candle easily, though he may not even be able to leave.

Jiang Wang will not completely trust Jiang Yan’s words. He trusts his own thinking more.

Based on the current situation, Jiang Yan can slightly influence his thoughts, but he cannot perceive his thoughts. Otherwise, before he tried to ignite the Nether Candle, Jiang Yan should have tried to avoid this situation. Yet, he did nothing.

This shows that, even if everything Jiang Yan says is true, they are now two independent individuals, and their thoughts and memories are not shared.

Nevertheless, Jiang Wang intends to conduct all future thinking involving Jiang Yan in the Taixu Illusory Realm.

This concerns himself, so he must be cautious.

The path of cultivation is indeed like walking on thin ice. Who could have imagined that simply using the White Bone Dao technique would lead to contamination by the White Bone Divine?

In any case, Jiang Wang will never use the secret techniques of the White Bone Dao system again.

One Jiang Yan is enough to give him a headache. What if some other monsters pop up…?

On the other hand, the reason Jiang Wang agreed to Jiang Yan’s conditions is that the White Bone Dao is his target for revenge, and the White Bone Holy Master is an unavoidable target. Whether he agrees to Jiang Yan or not makes no difference. At least they are aligned in the general direction. It’s even better if he can solve his own hidden dangers along the way.

However, Jiang Wang will not really ignore Jiang Yan from now on. Seizing the White Bone Holy Master’s body is just a long-term option. If he has the opportunity to expel him earlier, he will never hesitate.

There are two paths to this: one is to find a way to drive the Nether Candle out of the Tongtian Palace, and the other is to strengthen his own divine soul power. If he can reach a point where he can eliminate Jiang Yan without harm, he naturally doesn’t need to worry about his threat.

He has no idea about the former now. As for the latter, isn’t the Rouge Mirror precisely a treasure that can enhance divine soul power? Although the process is dangerous…

In any case, although the Nether Candle has not been resolved, at least he understands what is influencing his thinking.

The remaining problem is simply how to deal with it.

Problems placed before him will be solved sooner or later. Relatively speaking, the unknown danger is always more terrifying.

Walking out of the room, Jiang Wang summoned a group of confidants.

That is, Xiang Qian, Zhu Biqiong, Zhang Hai, and Dugu Xiao, these four people.

Twenty days have passed in a flash. He needs to grasp the overall situation.

The five people sat down in order of importance, quietly listening to Dugu Xiao give a complete introduction to the recent situation – he was busy dealing with the Nether Candle before, and only heard a few words from her in general.

“…The overall situation in Jia City is still improving. But for some reason, the Four Seas Merchant Alliance is finding it increasingly difficult to allocate supplies. Of course, our Qingyang Town’s supply of goods is still not a problem. The number of plague sufferers has decreased to seventy-six. There have been no new cases for three days. It can be said that in Qingyang Town, this plague has been completely controlled,” Dugu Xiao concluded.

Her information is limited to Qingyang Town, at most Jia City. She cannot grasp the situation of the entire Yang State.

Jiang Wang was about to speak.

Fluttering sound.

A cloud crane deftly squeezed into the window.

“It’s been flying down once at noon every day these past few days,” Xiang Qian said abruptly.

The cloud crane would not leave until he received a letter.

“An’an must miss me,” Jiang Wang thought. He reached out and let it land in his palm.

He said, “You’ve all worked hard during this time. For the three who are in the extraordinary level, each of you gets twenty Dao Yuan Stones as a token of my appreciation.”

One Dao Yuan Stone a day is not small-minded, of course, but it is also what they deserve. When he cannot be in charge, the town is still operating according to his will, which in itself is a manifestation of these people’s loyalty.

Zhu Biqiong and others will not refuse.

The cloud crane turned into a letter in his hand. Jiang Wang did not look at it for the time being. Looking at Xiao Xiao, he said, “Don’t slack off in your cultivation during this time. When you have a good foundation, I will buy you a Pulse Opening Pill.”

He cannot get a perfect Pulse Opening Pill now. That is a priceless and unavailable item, but buying an ordinary Pulse Opening Pill is no problem. Even if he buys it from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, his Dao Yuan Stones are enough.

This is a step to the sky. Dugu Xiao was surprised and delighted, “Thank you, Master!”

The others can see Dugu Xiao’s performance, and whether they have any opinions or not, they cannot deny that this is the reward she deserves.

In the Daoist merit system of the Zhuang Country Daoist Academy, the merit points themselves have circulation attributes in the Zhuang Country.

But outside of Zhuang Country, Dao Yuan Stone is the widely accepted transcendent currency.

The Daoist merit system of Zhuang Country is doing very well. Prices are very stable, and basically ten Daoist merits can be stably exchanged for one Dao Yuan Stone.

Here is a more direct reflection:

Five hundred Daoist merits in the Zhuang Country Daoist Academy can be exchanged for a low-level basic magic weapon, which is equivalent to fifty Dao Yuan Stones for a basic magic weapon. This price is very reasonable. Jiang Wang estimated that the dagger that Su Xiuxing had destroyed by the Pig Bone Noodle Eater was worth about one hundred and twenty Dao Yuan Stones. (This can also show how generous Jiang Wang was to take out two hundred Dao Yuan Stones for Xiang Qian.)

In the Zhuang Country Daoist Academy, according to the quota, one hundred Daoist merits can be exchanged for an ordinary Pulse Opening Pill.

But this is the Daoist Academy’s resource support for transcendent disciples. The real price of an ordinary Pulse Opening Pill is 1,500 Daoist merits. Converted, it is one hundred and fifty Dao Yuan Stones, or one and a half Ten Thousand Yuan Stones. (One Dao Yuan Stone is a Hundred Yuan Stone, and one hundred Dao Yuan Stones are equivalent to one Ten Thousand Yuan Stone.)

Whether Dugu Xiao’s work is worth one hundred and fifty Dao Yuan Stones is a matter of opinion.

For many people, a common maid can be bought and sold with ordinary gold and silver, and one Dao Yuan Stone can probably be exchanged for dozens of them.

But for Jiang Wang, loyalty and dedication are more valuable than Dao Yuan Stones.

No one showed any dissent to Jiang Wang’s decision. Xiang Qian stared at the letter paper in Jiang Wang’s palm for a long time with his dead fish eyes, and rarely showed curiosity: “This is a secret Daoist technique of Lingxiao Pavilion, right?”

Jiang Wang did not deny it, but asked, “Have you been to Yun Country too?”

This disheartened guy is really a person with a story.

“I’ve been there.” After knowing the answer, Xiang Qian seemed to have lost all interest and muttered, “It’s just like that.”

“Yun Country is a very nice place,” Jiang Wang said casually, and said, “Let’s do this for now, everyone go busy with your own things. Zhu Daoyou, please stay for a while, I have something to trouble you with.”

Everyone filed out, Dugu Xiao couldn’t stop her light footsteps, and her heart was filled with great joy.

“I also have a chance to become a transcendent cultivator!”

She only felt that the sun had never been so bright, and this world had never been so beautiful!

After everyone else had left, Jiang Wang took out the Rouge Mirror from the storage box and handed it to Zhu Biqiong, who remained in her seat: “Zhu Daoyou, take a look at this mirror. Does it look familiar?”

He now has a need to strengthen his divine soul power, and the exploration of the Rouge Mirror must also be put on the agenda. This thing was obtained from Hu Shaomeng. He thought that Zhu Biqiong, who also came from Diaohai Tower, might know something about it.

“I have seen it before.”

What Zhu Biqiong said was naturally when Jiang Wang was trapped in the world in the mirror. She had studied it at that time, but got nothing.

She didn’t take the mirror, but only asked, “What is its name? What is its origin?”

“It’s called Rouge. I got it after killing Hu Shaomeng,” Jiang Wang said frankly. This is not something that cannot be shown to others.

“Rouge Mirror…” Zhu Biqiong murmured repeatedly, “I seem to have heard of it, but I can’t remember where I heard it for a while.”

She vaguely touched a ray of inspiration, but she could never grasp it specifically.

Frowning and pondering for a long time, she still gained nothing.

“It seems to be a treasure,” Jiang Wang said with a smile, and then put away the Rouge Mirror again.

He is not completely unreserved to Zhu Biqiong. He did not say the fact that he had initially explored the Rouge Mirror.

“It’s okay, when you remember something, tell me again. Also, please keep it a secret for me.”

Jiang Wang finally said, “After all, innocence invites crime.”

“That’s natural.” Since she couldn’t remember, Zhu Biqiong simply stopped thinking about it and said crisply, “This girl keeps her word!”
