Jiang Chen left. The moment he saw Old Zhang's grave, he understood that if the old man wanted to hide, he would never find him.
Besides, since the old fellow had gone to such lengths to manufacture "traces of his death,"
there were only two possibilities.
First, he was avoiding enemies he could not deal with.
Second, he was plotting something that could not be known to too many people.
Either way, searching for him before he chose to show himself would only cause unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Chen was still quite rational. He understood that in a situation like this, there was no need to panic. All he had to do was quietly grow stronger.
Once you were strong enough, even difficult problems became easy points.
As he neared the urban area of Jiangbei City, he stopped and headed into the deep mountain forests. He chose a secluded spot, let the ghosts out of his hammer one by one to guard the surroundings, and began drawing cards.
"System, draw a Five-Star Card for me."
"Ding. Spend one million Ghost Qi to draw a Five-Star Monster Transformation Card?"
"Yes!"

Jing River Dragon King;

Jiang Chen stared at the final Monster Transformation Card and spotted a line of system notes, discovering that the monkey was divided into several stages.
Accomplished, after the Eight Trigrams Furnace, suppressed for five hundred years, and Victorious Fighting Buddha.
He rubbed his chin
