My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 111 Taking Preemptive Action to Eliminate Future Problems

Everyone knows that the storage jade pendant is a valuable item, and it may very well contain the entire fortune of the guardian of Yunze Blessed Land.

But Jiang Chen didn't have the ability to open it, so he couldn't possibly hide the item inside.

Even if Jin Guang Zhenren wanted this storage jade pendant, he wouldn't have any reason to ask for it.

He snorted and began rummaging through Jiang Chen's storage bag.

They did find quite a few good things, but they were all talismans and magical artifacts, which had nothing to do with Yunze Blessed Land.

They wanted to pin the blame on Jiang Chen, but found they couldn't do it at all.

After searching for a long time, Master Jin Guang found nothing.

He then released his divine sense to examine Jiang Chen's entire body, but still found nothing.

Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Jiang Chen really didn't hide anything else."

After saying that, he looked at the storage jade pendant again: "Senior Brother Iron Sword, it seems that this storage jade pendant may contain the inheritance of an ancient sect, or even clues to the location of other ancient relics."

It's best to hand these things over to the sect.

Master Tiejian sneered: "The agreement we reached beforehand only concerned the Shennong Garden."

"Any spiritual object obtained outside of Shennong Garden belongs to whoever finds it."

"If Jiang Chen has hidden the spiritual objects in Shennong Garden, they should indeed be distributed according to the pre-agreed shares."

However, this storage jade pendant was obtained from the garrison headquarters and was not among the items to be distributed. Logically, it should belong to Jiang Chen.

"If you want what's inside the jade pendant, you can exchange it for something else."

Yuanfu Zhenren, who was standing to the side, did not participate in the competition. He just looked at the jade pendant and then at Jiang Chen, his eyes full of resentment.

Unable to obtain the storage jade pendant, Jin Guang Zhenren then turned to discussing the share of the token.

Iron Sword Master obtained the seal and was in the right, so his attitude was very firm.

"According to the original agreement, your loyalists only get 10%, while we outsiders get 90%."

"My Guardian Hall has more men, and the seal is also in my hands. My Guardian Hall will take 60%, and the Talisman Hall will take 30%."

"As for the areas outside Shennong Garden, according to the original agreement, whoever gets them gets them."

"The seal is in my hands, and the token is in Senior Brother Yuanfu's hands. Your direct lineage has no right to participate."

He then looked at Master Yuanfu: "Senior Brother Yuanfu, what do you think?"

Although Master Yuanfu's expression was not very good, the Talisman Hall still benefited quite a bit from this distribution.

He nodded anyway: "I have no objection."

After agreeing on the share, the next step is to go to Yunze Blessed Land to take over the assets.

Both sides sent messages to summon their respective disciples who were in charge of the accounts, to calculate the assets within the blessed land and distribute them according to the agreed proportions.

The disciples, including Jiang Chen, who were exploring the blessed land, were escorted away by experts from within the sect.

……

[Day 25 of the Dream]

Wu Jianyun, the chief of the Guardian Hall, went to the Talisman Hall to retrieve Jiang Chen's file, but was refused by the Talisman Hall.

After much effort, neither side was able to retrieve Jiang Chen's file.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately ended the dream.

-----------------

Back to reality, it is now the twenty-third day before entering the ancient ruins, and the eighth day before the news was announced.

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly: "Although this time I entered the dream quickly and passed through the ancient ruins, I also secretly kept three sets of Foundation Establishment Pills."

I gave Yuanfu Zhenren a token, but gave the more valuable seal to Tiejian Zhenren. I was indeed being dishonest in doing so.

If I were Master Yuanfu, I would certainly feel resentment as well.

"Master Yuanfu is weak-willed and vain. My actions are tantamount to publicly slapping him in the face."

Even with Iron Sword Master protecting me, he can't directly cause me trouble, but for a mere Qi Refining cultivator to be hated by a Core Formation Master is definitely a huge danger.

"The open and covert struggles between Master Tiejian and Master Yuanfu will inevitably lead to a split within the outside faction."

I need to find a way to nip this risk in the bud.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen came up with a solution.

Jiang Chen had one more chance to enter a dream, and he immediately chose to do so.

-----------------

[First day of entering the dream]

Jiang Chen immediately went to the Standing Committee of the Guardian Hall and told Wu Jianyun, the person in charge, that he wanted to switch sides to the Guardian Hall.

Wu Jianyun was also a disciple of Master Tiejian. Although his talent was not as good as Li Wusheng's, he was still far superior to ordinary cultivators and was highly valued by Master Tiejian.

He also managed all the affairs of the Guardian Hall.

He is only in his sixties now, but he is already a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and not far from the late Foundation Establishment stage. He is definitely a potential Core Formation cultivator.

Upon hearing that Jiang Chen wanted to come to the Guard Hall, Wu Jianyun, who was originally dealing with official business, immediately stood up.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you've finally come to your senses! In Master's eyes, you've long been his disciple."

He immediately patted his chest and assured them, "You don't need to worry about the matter at the Talisman Hall. I've heard that Master Yuanfu doesn't value you much."

"If I ask them for the person, the Talisman Hall won't refuse."

"Give me your disciple token and your residence token, and I will personally lead a group to Iron Case Mountain."

I promise I'll get this done before nightfall. Not a single bit of your previous achievements will be lost.

That afternoon, Wu Jianyun transferred Jiang Chen's file from the Talisman Hall to the Guard Hall, and also sent someone to help him move.

In just half a day, Jiang Chen became a disciple of the Guardian Hall and was transferred to the Pill Department as a manager, second only to the head of the department, Wei Lin.

In addition, the Guardian Hall also allocated a cave dwelling on Heavenly Sword Peak, a privilege reserved for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After returning to his cave, Jiang Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, in Master Yuanfu's mind, I am still an ordinary Qi Refining disciple with low talent and no future.

Even if I join the Guardian Hall, he won't take it too seriously.

Even if I later shine brightly in Yunze Blessed Land, he will only think that he misjudged me.

From beginning to end, I did not deceive him. Later, I will give Zhao Changzhou some things as repayment for his kindness.

Although Master Yuanfu is not very magnanimous and has a weak personality, he cannot be considered a villain.

He won't hold a grudge against me for what I've done. Even if he is petty, with his loyalists stirring things up, he might not really resent me.

But since I gave Fu Lu Tang a very generous gift, he couldn't cause me any more trouble.

This was the method Jiang Chen had come up with: by joining the Guardian Hall in advance, he could avoid a lot of trouble.

……

[Day 23 of the Dream]

After joining the Guardian Hall, everything else continued as before.

Besides cultivating, Jiang Chen devoted himself to refining pills and drawing talismans every day, and sold them to disciples from other sects at market prices, earning a great deal of reputation.

Early that morning, Jiang Chen, along with a group of Guardian Hall disciples, led by Master Iron Sword, headed to the ancient ruins.

Just like last time, Jiang Chen volunteered to go and scout ahead, and Master Tiejian agreed.

He also specifically instructed Qiao Song and Shen Yi to take good care of Jiang Chen.

After entering Yunze Blessed Land, Jiang Chen felt the same way he did in his dream last time.

However, this time when he entered the dream, he did not intend to quickly reach the Cloud Marsh Blessed Land.

This time, his goal was to torment Zhang Yaoling and try to obtain some of the Creation Sect's inheritance from him.

The Creation Sect perished countless years ago; even its name has vanished from the world, and its lineage has likely been severed.

The inheritance that Zhang Yaoling remembers may be a one-of-a-kind inheritance.
