After returning to the small building, Jiang Yan did not continue studying the Metal-Element Golden Elixir Method.
Instead, he began taking stock of his current trump cards.
By now, Jiang Yan had quite a few good things on him.
Before his departure, Senior Sister Ying Leng and his two Senior Brothers, Fenghuo and Liaoyuan, had given him three Cold Flame Talismans, each comparable to an upper Eighth Grade Daoist's full-force strike.
His Tenth Senior Brother, Spitting Fire Daoist, had also given Jiang Yan three pieces of Divine Thunder, specialties of the Scale Feather Clan. According to him, they were powerful enough to threaten an Eighth Grade Daoist.
