281: Chapter 231 281: Chapter 231 “Have you seen the person who controls the space?
What kind of person is it?” Su Feifei asked with curiosity.
“It seemed like when I came out, many people in Immortal Venerable City were fighting over a Magical Treasure, and then there was someone who momentarily controlled the Magical Treasure.
In such chaos, I came out of that space.
I didn’t know where that space went later, though.
The person controlling it must be a demon.”
“Immortal Venerable City was after a Magical Treasure?
Oh, we know, it was after the terrifying incident occurred that a Magical Treasure suddenly appeared.
Many highly cultivated individuals pursued it, wanting to snatch this Ancient Treasure.
They chased and fought over the Magical Treasure, but somehow, it disappeared again, and when they returned, someone in Immortal Venerable City released poison, and those people hurried to save others,” Su Feifei added.
“It seems to be the case.
People from the Ten Great Clans went after the Magical Treasure, but they didn’t expect that the Magical Treasure would contain Jiang Tang,” Yuan Baozhu said thoughtfully as she looked at Jiang Tang.
“Yes, I followed those people back to Immortal Venerable City and entered the Magical Treasure.
I couldn’t tell day from night, nor did I know where I was.
Only by following those chasing the Magical Treasure could I return to Immortal Venerable City.”
Jiang Tang, who had previously spoken vaguely to others, was now sincerely admitting this to the beauties.
“Jiang Tang, weren’t your Secret Manuals also picked up from that Ancient Treasure?” Lin Dandan wondered, thinking of the powerful manuals Jiang Tang had given her, knowing only Ancient Manuals could be so formidable.
“Sort of!
I was also indiscriminately collecting them inside.
After concocting a Supreme Elixir, I fought with Demonic Beasts and Ghost Cultivators for about a month.
In the presence of such strong Spiritual Energy, I could improve so quickly, and with the aid of the Pills, it would be hard not to become stronger.”
Jiang Tang said half-truthfully.
“Jiang Tang, no wonder you improved so quickly.
It turns out you were cultivating inside an Ancient Treasure.
The Spiritual Energy there can’t be compared to the Cultivation World, can it?” Dugu Yi spoke in his hometown dialect.
“Dugu Yan’er, what did your brother say?” Jiang Tang and the others couldn’t understand his language, so they naturally asked his sister Dugu Yan’er to interpret.
Dugu Yan’er explained her brother’s words to everyone, and then they understood what the Dugu sibling meant.
“Right?
With the right time, place, and people, if one person has it all, but it’s a lucky individual.
Once, I was at the North City Immortal Sect where even three years were not enough for me to advance my cultivation significantly, one key factor being my Mixed Spiritual Roots.
Another is that over the past ten thousand years, the Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation World has been getting weaker.
Perhaps everyone’s families with a Spirit Vein could also sense this.
After entering that Magical Treasure, not only was the Spiritual Energy stronger, but there were also auxiliary Spirit Grasses.
Later, I concocted those Spirit Grasses into Supreme Elixirs, which was like adding wings to a tiger.”
Everyone felt enlightened by Jiang Tang’s explanation and envied that Jiang Tang had such a serendipitous opportunity.
Having heard about the strength of the Magical Treasure, they even more so wanted to find out more news about it.
At this moment, guided by Su Feifei’s directions, the flying arrow had already arrived above her family’s residence.
Landing high above the grand gates of the Sword Sect Su Family, these gates were of course where the Clan Leader lived and was also the location of the Family Council Hall.
The most magnificent building was erected in a suburb south of the Imperial City.
They had not established the great families within the Imperial City because many places here were inhabited and operated by members of the Sword Sect families.
As the flying arrow descended, Su Feifei explained the situation here, mentioning that Su Chang’an was also inside.
Su Feifei, leading so many people into the family compound, was allowed in by the guarding protectors, aside from seeing so many beautiful women, there were also two men.
The family members were wondering which of the two men was Jiang Tang—one with a handsome appearance, one with higher cultivation and the other with slightly lower cultivation.
Seeing is believing, as they said.
The famed Alchemist they had never seen turned out to be a handsome face.
The skin of the man with somewhat higher cultivation was even smoother than that of their Young Master.
The people of the Su Family still thought that Su Chang’an was the elite of the Cultivation World, the most handsome and dashing person, but they still held this belief now.
These two in front of them were just handsome faces and, of course, couldn’t compare to their Young Master.
This self-praise and self-protection was entirely the guards’ own thoughts, which they exchanged in whispers.
Su Feifei, of course, wouldn’t explain Jiang Tang’s identity to the family guards, nor the identities of those she brought with her.
She held a token and had a face that everyone in the family recognized; showing the token was enough for her to enter.
Bringing so many people to the Council Hall, Su Feifei would report to her family first after being away for several days, and then she would go to see her parents.
Su Feifei led Jiang Tang into the Council Hall, where the Family Head and Young Master were present, along with his father and some other Elders.
After paying her respects to the Family Head and the Elders, Su Feifei also introduced the person she had brought with her.
While Su Feifei was making the introductions, Zhu Chang’an had already come up to Jiang Tang.
The two of them high-fived tacitly and then sat down together, not even waiting for the elders to invite them to do so.
The people Jiang Tang brought with him saw that he was sitting down, so, naturally, they found seats for themselves as well.
“Jiang Tang, getting you to come to the family was not easy.
It took several days just to see you,”
Su Chang’an was still dressed in his crimson-purple robe, seemingly wearing the same outfit forever.
Jiang Tang always saw him dressed like that.
Jiang Tang himself didn’t change clothes often either.
People in the Cultivation World, except when their clothes are torn from fighting, don’t need to wash them; a simple cleaning spell would make both their bodies and clothes spotlessly clean.
Boys’ attire is naturally simpler, saving even more on clothes.
“What can I do, when I, your junior brother, am so beloved?
I’ve been hustling every day to the point where I haven’t slept in days.
It’s quite exhausting, you know.”
In front of Su Chang’an, Jiang Tang didn’t hide anything and spoke whatever was on his mind with direct and candid frankness.
“That’s the trouble with being capable, luckily I don’t have so many talents and can enjoy a lot more peace,” Su Chang’an said with a smile.
Ever since he met Jiang Tang and received Supreme Elixirs, he too had benefited.
He was at Nascent Soul Great Perfection and consumed a Supreme Elixir.
Without needing to consume Ocean Wheel Grass he had prepared, it significantly hastened his assimilation of the Ocean Wheel.
This made him even more determined to spend time on cultivation, entrusting mundane affairs to others.
Even the expansion of the Holy Pavilion’s branches had been delegated to family members.
He was without burdens.
If it weren’t for Jiang Tang’s visit, he would still be in seclusion.
The arrival of Jiang Tang was even better, bringing more resources to the family and also providing him with a good number of pills.
Su Chang’an had the personality of an Immortal Venerable, but before his mentor, he too would be just a commoner.
When Jiang Tang and Su Chang’an got together, the two men could talk about anything and everything, leaving no room for others to interject.
The Su family watched these two get along so well, and they couldn’t help but smile.
They thought it was a good thing, as seeing for oneself was better than hearing from others.
The two appeared as harmonious as real brothers.
Everyone in the room observed Su Chang’an and Jiang Tang chatting.
Aside from Su Feifei, eight young women compared Su Chang’an with Jiang Tang.
Perhaps it’s true that love is blind—their hearts had their princes already set in stone, and they remained indifferent to the outstanding Su Chang’an.
Just like charming and handsome men, they were more fond of Jiang Tang’s sweet-talking, generous nature.
Su Chang’an might be a great man, but he hadn’t brought any benefits to their families.
After chatting with Su Chang’an for a while, Clan Head Su finally began discussing the reason for inviting Jiang Tang here.
He mentioned that the Su Clan Sword Sect also had an Alchemy Hall, but their alchemy skills were lacking.
They wanted Jiang Tang to become an Honorary Hall Master and give some guidance to the alchemists.
Jiang Tang felt that leading one ox or a herd was the same, so he agreed to the request and had Su Chang’an and Su Feifei lead him to the Alchemy Hall.
The eight girls who came with Jiang Tang followed as well, and so did the Dugu brothers.
Normally, the Alchemy Hall of the Su family was not open to outsiders.
Jiang Tang was an exception, but exceptions were made for special cases.
The people of the Noble Clan believed these girls and the Dugu brothers posed no threat.
They might even have the idea of a mutually beneficial relationship, sharing the mindset of winning over Jiang Tang together as a united front.
