637: Chapter 438 637: Chapter 438 She thought so and generously asked.
Having help was nice, and she didn’t feel that monopolizing this accomplishment would prevent other women from gaining Jiang Tang’s favor!
Su Feifei did not answer directly, only mentioning that she had heard about and learned of such skills within her family before she truly started learning after meeting Jiang Tang.
Hua Xian’er, of course, knew that Jiang Tang had taught many people skills.
The Top Ten Clans, North Cit Immortal Sect, first-rate families, even second-rate families—many had received secret manuals for skills from Jiang Tang or were personally taught by him.
With Su Feifei’s help in alchemy, Hua Xian’er still felt the same heavy pressure, and the workload remained just as immense.
With more people, naturally, the amount of pills they needed to produce doubled.
The herbs provided by the other party were ample; they needed to produce at least 10,000 pills.
Of course, this was assuming that none of the pills were wasted.
She believed that if she were to make these pills, she would be able to produce them at a higher quality and in greater quantities.
Xuanyuan Mengting was among the earliest of women to know Jiang Tang.
Initially, she too was solely focused on cultivation.
Latter on, having seen so many people compete for this man’s attention, each with their own unique skill, she wondered whether she, too, should learn a skill.
She wanted to learn a skill Jiang Tang currently didn’t possess, a skill necessary for fighting.
How could someone in the martial world not need to know how to fight?
For instance, a few days ago, Jiang Tang had simply dispatched his pet, not requiring their assistance, which clearly showed that their abilities were insufficient to be of help.
Thus, Xuanyuan Mengting became more determined over these days to master a skill, talisman crafting.
Xuanyuan Mengting did not ask Jiang Tang whether he had a secret manual for talisman crafting, as she was just a beginner and her family possessed such books.
At that time, she went to her family’s library and made copies of jade slips for various skills, from beginner to advanced, and kept them in her storage bag.
In big families, there were books for all sorts of skills just like those in the sects, where books of various skills were available for study.
Only loose cultivators needed to purchase such books, materials, and pills.
Without a high status or being a capable being, one could only earn them by completing tasks.
Xuanyuan Mengting, mainly due to her birth in an elder’s family and being a young miss within her clan, also held a not insignificant status.
Being diligent and talented in cultivation, she was an elite among the women in the family, not at all inferior to the men.
Now, having the idea to craft talismans, she secretly prepared talisman paper, vermilion sand, and a talisman brush.
As a beginner, she started with talisman drawing, which could waste the high-quality talisman paper just for making peace charms, but she wasn’t short on silver—she could simply buy more materials if needed.
While making the peace charms, Xuanyuan Mengting briefly came up with a new idea.
That was to grind the golden energy stones given to her by Jiang Tang into powder using a magical treasure, and mix it with the vermilion sand.
By doing this, she intended to make the peace charm have a defensive and counterattack feature.
This type of peace charm, ordinarily sought by commoners in temples for divine Buddha’s blessing…
A powerful being could make such a charm that fends off demons, and when attacked, could withstand a fierce strike at least once.
Xuanyuan Mengting, as a beginner, could only manage to create charms that prevented demons from coming near; her ability to counter was quite poor.
Cai Xiangxiang, following Yan Weiwei’s family in building a home, would gaze up at the sky during the day and, even after completing her cultivation at night, would be absorbed in watching the sky.
The man in the sky had grown in her from initial guilt to later fondness, unspoken love, and longing.
Now all she could do was to gaze at him with adoration.
Cai Xiangxiang felt somewhat inferior.
Her status was not high enough to match that man.
To compete with so many outstanding women for a man like him seemed too difficult for her.
But she overlooked one thing—her body, hidden beneath the magical treasure around her neck, was sought after in the dreams of many cultivating men as an excellent supplement.
The unique traits of Cai Xiangxiang’s body, together with the magical treasure she wore, were crafted by Ye Tian when he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm.
With his profound skills, they remained undetectable even beneath the Ocean Wheel.
Cai Xiangxiang, who had not traveled far, was present among many people, but besides Ye Tian, who was aware, Yan Weiwei had not informed anyone else.
Jiang Tang, with his profound capabilities, had already known about them as soon as he welcomed Yan Weiwei, with Cai Xiangxiang following her into his midst.
But he was not the kind of person who needed resources from women to enhance his cultivation; he had many other methods to increase his cultivation level.
Moreover, he was suppressing it, not needing to raise his own level any higher, nor did he need that kind of supplement.
He even dared not get close to women, fearing that he couldn’t control himself and would inadvertently advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
The business he had finally started, how could he just hand it over to someone else?
He must take his business to the pinnacle, play around enough, and having enjoyed his time as the ultimate leader, then he could pass down the business to future generations.
Let those rich scions, the Immortal second generations, enjoy it.
Jiang Tang’s ambition was suitable for being the pioneering wealthy, intending to carry out higher endeavors in this human world, cultivate, perform good deeds—a full package.
He had such an idea; in his previous life, ordinary people suffered from many incurable and debilitating diseases such as heart disease, AIDS, cancer, leukemia, which could easily claim someone’s life with no cure available.
Or it could be epidemics, large-scale infectious diseases.
The base he was now building intended to strengthen the bodies of ordinary folks, much like getting vaccinated, so that these diseases could be prevented and treated after taking the medicine.
Jiang Tang felt that in the Cultivation World, if cultivators could use Pills, why couldn’t ordinary people?
It’s just that ordinary people couldn’t afford those Pills; the same medicine worked faster and better for those in cultivation, but not as well for ordinary people, who mostly couldn’t even afford these medicines, such as the Revitalizing Pill.
In Jiang Tang’s space, some previously missing medicines naturally appeared.
Once he had this idea, his body’s space constantly spawned small Demonic Beasts, and some medicinal herbs that could heal ordinary people began to grow on the mountain.
The herbs from his internal space appeared quite ordinary, but he felt that they were as effective as Immortal Herbs, capable of curing the illnesses of ordinary people.
These medicinal herbs were thus far superior to the well-known herbs of the Cultivation World.
Jiang Tang simply didn’t have time to refine them; once the base was up and running, he would delegate these tasks.
The Avatar he had sent to the Dragon Palace sent back news that the Dragon King and the monkey were locked in an indecisive battle, leaving the fishes on the eastern seas in a sorry state.
Jiang Tang instructed the Avatar to ensure the fish in the ocean didn’t die off – not just for the merit, but also for the natural environment and the fishermen who depended on fishing for their livelihood.
With one Avatar gone, the space that eagerly awaited the Supreme Elixirs and the hungry little Demonic Beasts needed even more Pills to survive.
Fortunately, that Avatar had managed to refine a considerable stock of Pills for storage.
Jiang Tang now profoundly realized that as the supreme leader, one should never try to do everything personally; this could be exhausting to the point of death!
How many Capable Beings, like him, would work days and nights without eating, drinking, or sleeping?
He believed no Highest Beings in the entire Cultivation World would do so.
But then again, nowadays even the powerful seek work, so he, who had just advanced to being a powerful figure, really shouldn’t keep complaining about being too tired.
Let’s stop here, if the two bases are well-built and the dream is half-realized, the rest can be done slowly, and perhaps it’s time for some leisurely indulgence?
Ever since Tang Yanran discovered how much her ancestor needed golden energy,
she kept collecting golden energy.
It wasn’t because she was greedy, but because she was busy refining a poison.
This poison, when mixed with golden energy, emitted a golden mist, and naturally, the antidote required golden energy as well.
Consequently, she found herself in need of more Energy Stones.
So during her recent missions where she made new gains, she traded with others for golden energy and even asked Jiang Tang to give her more golden energy.
If Tang Yanran asked, Jiang Tang wouldn’t refuse, but he guessed she must be crafting poisons.
Therefore, he had a condition: Tang Yanran must not use her poisons to harm ordinary people, relatives, good folks, or anyone from the base.
Tang Yanran hesitated for a moment but still agreed.
Given her nature, she might use it on a love rival, but then she remembered the Vitality Pills Jiang Tang had distributed, which could counter her poison.
Those who had taken such medicine had developed antibodies, effectively becoming immune to all poisons.
Tang Yanran had tested it herself; she used her own poison on herself and found it had no effect whatsoever.
