791: Chapter 515 791: Chapter 515 “””
These people’s techniques were not flawed, it was just that their abilities were not as good as my own and their Alchemy Furnaces were not Treasured Furnaces.
They themselves were not of the Fire Spirit Root and even if one or two among them were, the fire source within their bodies could not be harnessed effectively.
Jiang Tang this time directly replicated some Jade Slips and chose to give each beautiful lady’s family a Jade Scroll Tube filled with various skill sets.
As for how many copies they made for other people to practice, it was neither his concern nor his interest.
Jiang Tang still kept some of his skills hidden; he did not share the superior Alchemy Skills with others, nor did he share his top-notch abilities – these secret manuals were reserved for his own practice.
For the people in the Cultivation World, to have advanced skills was already a boon.
Jiang Tang briefly explained to them that this kind of fire source could not be enhanced any further; their practiced methods weren’t wrong, it was only possible to improve through the Alchemy Furnace, fire source, and then their personal abilities.
When Jiang Tang said so, none of the Alchemists harbored any thoughts of rebuttal.
In the presence of someone with such high abilities, his Alchemy skills and his Cultivation were not something they could possess.
The issues raised by Jiang Tang were also issues they had considered, but they had not taken them seriously enough to address them, restricted as they were by their family obligations.
The Secret Manuals Jiang Tang provided were received with joy, allowing for better practice and improvement, as well as better skill transmission to their disciples.
Since the abilities of these Alchemists were not yet high enough, it could affect their alchemy.
The lowest among these people were at the Golden Core Stage, and the highest at the Nascent Soul Stage.
This was many times more advanced than when he had practiced Alchemy three years prior, and even a few months ago he had not possessed such high abilities.
Perhaps as his abilities grew higher, the Secret Manuals produced by the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space became better.
It was these that had established his identity as a top-notch Alchemist and contributed to his wealth.
Jiang Tang did not linger too much in the Alchemy Room, instead visiting several different Mission Halls.
Each time, he would take a look and then, after delivering the Secret Manuals, he would move on to the next place.
Jiang Tang was not neglectful in teaching at the respective Mission Halls; it was just that he himself had not yet mastered those skills to a superlative degree.
He did not want to pretend to possess expertise he lacked or to elaborate on skills as a teacher when some people had been doing the job for dozens or even a hundred years, their skills already honed to proficiency.
They simply lacked higher-grade Secret Manuals to advance further.
Jiang Tang felt that the various Mission Halls of his great clan were already quite advanced.
The staff were also experienced, after all, they were the leaders of the Top Ten Clans, and their abilities would not be lacking.
Jiang Tang followed the Clan Leader and several Elders, with Xuanyuan Mengting accompanying him.
Gradually, their entourage grew to include a few young elites, among whom was Xuanyuan Jie.
At each Mission Hall that Jiang Tang visited, he left Secret Manuals, and Xuanyuan Jie along with the young people made copies of the Jade Scroll Tube for their own use.
The Clan Leader and the Elders did the same, copying Jade Slips, and each Mission Hall had personnel specifically for copying the Jade Slips.
Their first stops were the Alchemy Hall, Talisman Hall, Artifact Refining Hall, Formation Refinement Hall, Beast Training Hall, Cultivation Practice Hall, Spell Hall…
and so on!
To others, it seemed that Jiang Tang did not spend much time at each Hall, yet it still took an entire morning.
By lunchtime, after having visited these Halls, the Clan Leader and several Elders, along with a few young people, once again invited the two of them to join a luncheon gathering.
They all knew Jiang Tang was a busy man of status; he had already said that they would take their leave after lunch!
The Xuanyuan Family’s lunch gathering also served as a farewell and celebration!
This gathering included not only the more senior figures but also staff from various Mission Halls; those with a bit more ability had participated.
Everyone considered Jiang Tang to have been their mentor.
Even if the mentorship had lasted only fifteen minutes, he was still their mentor.
Someday, when they had learned and improved their abilities, upon meeting their mentor again, there might be new Secret Manuals for them to study and further enhance their abilities.
Thus, it was natural to honor and interact more with such a mentor, to leave a stronger impression so that perhaps he would teach them his ultimate techniques.
During the lunch gathering, Jiang Tang generously brought out a lot of wine and fruit juices.
“””
Bring out his two alchemy furnaces to squeeze juice.
The alchemy furnace that Jiang Tang brought out was one that he discovered for alchemy, this furnace that his master took out for juicing was even more advanced than the ones they used for alchemy in the clan.
Without comparison, you wouldn’t know, but compare them and it was quite startling.
If the clan’s alchemy furnaces were not advanced enough, they could only apply to have the Artifact Refining upgrade the alchemy furnaces, which could also improve the quality of their alchemy.
Jiang Tang still sat with some elders, and they talked like peers about the mysteries of cultivation techniques and the secrets of the Path of Cultivation.
The elders naturally asked about Jiang Tang, this young man whose cultivation they couldn’t see clearly, they felt somewhat inferior in front of this young man.
If it were not for the status of Xuanyuan Mengting, where would they stand as elders?
In the Cultivation World where strength is respected, it’s not about them receiving salutations from the groom, they should be saluting the groom.
The groom gave them face, in the presence of this young man, their original confidence also became unconfident.
Every time they saw Jiang Tang, they realised he had improved his abilities, which made them feel ashamed and inferior; their former arrogance turned into frustration in their hearts.
How could such a monstrous talent exist, leaving no room for ordinary people to live?
In front of Jiang Tang, the elders acted like students seeking teaching, a humble demeanor far from the way they normally behaved when taming speech.
They were merely students obediently learning; with the elders behaving like this, needless to say, the young people of the same age as Jiang Tang, their pride went down a notch after he showed up.
All that was left was a heart wanting to become stronger and striving relentlessly.
While Jiang Tang was talking with the elders, the young people at the gathering were also chatting, but they had already extended their Divine Sense outward, listening intently to the conversation between this powerful figure and the elders.
Xuanyuan Mengting still sat with the girls, surrounded by her close friends, and of course, there were women who wanted to sit by her side.
But they were forcibly dragged away by the girls who were trying to ingratiate themselves with those women.
If they couldn’t ingratiate themselves with Xuanyuan Mengting, they shifted their target to be near Xuanyuan Mengting’s mother.
They chatted endlessly by her mother’s side, mostly wanting to know about the interesting things that happened when Xuanyuan Mengting and the groom traveled outside.
Xuanyuan Mengting’s mother didn’t have much time to spend with her daughter either, as most of the time she returned, outsiders and the groom occupied her.
It was good enough to see each other at the banquet, and she couldn’t chat quietly with her daughter.
The daughter that was raised is not easy to keep, the grown daughter would become someone of another household.
This is something every parent will experience, when children are little, they might spend the most time with them, sticking to them when they are babies.
As they grow up, whether they are sons or daughters, they all have their own affairs to attend to, their own responsibilities to bear.
Those in the Cultivation World, as parents, often set their children aside to be cared for by others during their cultivation.
That’s how they experience the Cultivation World, their familial love isn’t as deep, not overly burdened by affection for their children.
They believe that family love, friendship, romantic love, all of these could hinder their progress, could prevent their abilities from advancing quickly.
It could be an obstacle on their Path of Cultivation, a hindrance to their Ascension!
The banquet dispersed after half an hour, with others drinking wine or juice, taking advantage of the moment to store the best wine and the best juice.
When the next gathering would be, nobody knew.
The elders had already discussed the marriage affair between Jiang Tang and Xuanyuan Mengting, and the date had not yet been set, which was also a subject of their concern and gossip.
After the banquet, Jiang Tang and Xuanyuan Mengting were asked to stay, with the highest-ranking elders inviting them to the council hall, finally to decide when to have their engagement and wedding discussion.
Jiang Tang wanted to spend the afternoon alone with just the two of them, but they were interrupted, and he could only sit with Xuanyuan Mengting by the side of the elders, helplessly.
