329: Chapter 285 329: Chapter 285 Jiang Tang’s refusal was well known; everyone was aware that he was reluctant to teach his secret techniques to others.
The Sect Leader and the Elixir Peak Master shared a glance, their thoughts in sync, both keen on keeping Jiang Tang within the Immortal Sect to reap more benefits.
“Elder Jiang Tang, why not stay a few more days with us at the Immortal Sect?”
“Yes, Elder Jiang Tang, you’ve only taught a few disciples in the Alchemy Room.
There are many more who need your teaching.”
Jiang Tang shook his head at the two of them; he knew what they were thinking.
He had no intention of stopping here and had many more things to do.
“I have imparted the foundational skills to those people; they can become masters and teach others who don’t know.
I won’t steal this honor,” he said.
“But…
Elder Jiang Tang, in the time you are here, teach them more spells and Cultivation Techniques, please!”
The Sect Leader could only hope for the next best thing, as this man’s spells and Cultivation Techniques were so formidable.
Even the spells and Cultivation Techniques casually demonstrated by him were of a higher class.
The North City Immortal Sect, despite its size, was actually lacking in advanced Cultivation Techniques.
Over these ten thousand years, the high-level Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion had become unsuitable for them.
The deficiency of Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation World was their greatest shortcoming; yet Jiang Tang had managed to surge in cultivation amidst such weak Spiritual Energy.
This man had many secrets, and if he could impart just a fraction, it would benefit many others.
Not to mention others, even the Sect Leader himself yearned for high-level spells and Cultivation Techniques.
Under the expectant gaze of the Sect Leader, Jiang Tang felt a tinge of softness in his heart and searched for appropriate spells and Cultivation Techniques for the inexperienced disciples to try.
He recalled that in this period, apart from the Star-absorbing Spell, which he must not teach, there indeed were some spells he could teach.
They had applications from the Foundation Establishment Stage up to the Spirit Mansion, and although he only had the cultivation of a Spirit Mansion, the Secret Manuals from the Supreme Treasure Lingtian Space might have even higher levels.
However, this was already enough to boast about.
Even the Sect Leader in front of him could potentially become his disciple.
“I can teach them, but I’ll only provide them with Jade Slips.
I’m too busy to teach personally.
Sect Leader, you should consider rewarding those who contribute to the Immortal Sect!”
Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader’s face broke into a smile like a scalded dog’s head; his expression was such that the remaining Peak Masters at the scene could hardly bear to watch.
“Elder Jiang Tang, could you also bestow some spells and Cultivation Techniques upon this old man?
Ah, no, I mean, your disciple,” the Sect Leader said.
The Sect Leader had indeed gone to great lengths, humbling himself and even referring to himself as a disciple, all for the sake of learning spells and Cultivation Techniques.
Aside from the Peak Masters who had gone into seclusion, there were only two left on site.
These two Peak Masters, who had drunk with Jiang Tang just yesterday, had only come out of a minor realm consolidation and were in no hurry to resume their cultivation, opting instead to watch the excitement.
With the Sect Leader lowering himself to this extent, the cunning pair perceived a good opportunity and thus watched Jiang Tang intently, hoping to receive his teachings.
“It’s not out of the question.
Let me have a search and I’ll give you an answer shortly.
Please bring some blank Jade Slips early,” he said.
“Indeed, indeed!” The Sect Leader pulled out a mountainous pile of blank Jade Slips from his Storage Bag.
Jiang Tang was taken aback by the sight of all those Jade Slips; he heard that this old fox had been waiting here for him, already setting a trap for him to fall into.
This old fox was too crafty, and he himself was still too naive.
Jiang Tang understood that it wasn’t just about his lack of worldliness; in fact, he also wished for the Immortal Sect to grow stronger.
Gathering the blank Jade Slips, he made no further comment.
Over the past three years, all the Secret Manuals he had obtained from the space, apart from those he couldn’t share with others, could be replicated.
Taking the blank Jade Slips, Jiang Tang closed his eyes and sat down on the cushion, settling into a posture of silent meditation, seemingly an elder in deep contemplation.
Others were puzzled about what he was doing but felt it improper to disturb him.
…
Luo Yaxuan returned to his family and, after consuming a Supreme Elixir, felt both his soul and body grow significantly stronger.
Having consumed the Supreme Elixir and boosted his cultivation, he had entered the early stage of the Golden Core.
The strength of his soul had reached the Nascent Soul Stage when a Pseudo Nascent Soul appeared in his mind.
He felt that such cultivation was still not enough; he had Supreme Elixirs on his body, which she had intentionally left for him to advance more quickly.
He did not feel guilty about this selfish desire.
Bringing the Supreme Elixirs home this time had almost cost him his life.
Fortunately, people sent by Jiang Tang had protected him.
He couldn’t rely on others to protect him for his entire life.
If he wanted his family to become stronger, he must become stronger himself.
Their Luo Family was a first-rate family; they must stand firm.
While they grew stronger, other families would also become more powerful, and they needed to stay ahead of the times.
Luo Yaxuan had not left seclusion after advancing; he continued his cultivation and had reached the Golden Core Stage.
He took out the Secret Manual for the Golden Core Stage given by his master, to cultivate spells and techniques.
Waiting for the right opportunity to advance once again.
Other senior members of the Luo Family had taken a Supreme Elixir and advanced, solidifying their cultivation before leaving seclusion; they were naturally in high spirits.
Only a few high-ranking members had the privilege of doing so; other elites and members of the family could only look on with envy.
Supreme Elixirs were so expensive, and even if they were to be given as gifts, they were given to the Young Family Head.
The Young Family Head had not yet left seclusion, and the young people waiting for news were all gathered outside Luo Yaxuan’s courtyard.
Previously, the Luo Family was a first-rate family; its members and elites felt proud of their high level of cultivation.
But suddenly, with the appearance of Supreme Elixirs in the Cultivation World, those who could afford them advanced quickly, and watching others elevate their cultivation, their desire and envy grew.
The Luo Family also heard that smaller families were mobilizing.
They were equally elite, and in their urgency, some sought out the Family Head, others the Elders.
Those who dared not disturb them, could only gather around the Young Family Head’s courtyard.
Three Elders had received two Supreme Elixirs each, having thought they would never advance in this lifetime.
Besides these two elixirs, the hope they had once given up rekindled, and they advanced a minor realm, regaining their confidence.
With so many people coming to them, they had no solution; the Supreme Elixirs had been brought back by the Young Family Head, and the news they received was that the Young Family Head had not yet left seclusion.
Everyone in the family knew about the available resources; hoping for another chance at a Supreme Elixir, where would they distribute it to those lower in quality and status?
Those who went to the three Elders and did not get a Supreme Elixir felt that the Elders were not being righteous enough.
They had received a good thing but did not share it with others.
Those who usually flattered the Elders now harbored grievances against them.
This wave of desire for Supreme Elixirs caused discord among a family that used to work together in unity.
It became known that the Family Head’s entire household could obtain Supreme Elixirs, and even the Old Madam and the Lady, who did not manage affairs, could advance their cultivation.
It was said that the Young Family Head gifted them the Supreme Elixirs.
Alright then, the Young Family Head was very filial, and nobody dared to speak out, especially upon hearing even the ancestral patriarch had elevated his cultivation.
This was a sign of hope for the family’s growth, yet it also made some long for the family’s recognition and to receive a Supreme Elixir.
Those well-informed knew that the Cultivation World was now a little chaotic; those who went to buy Supreme Elixirs could be tracked, robbed, and possibly killed for their treasures.
The Young Family Head had also faced such dangers; it must be said that such affairs were a bit troublesome.
Those with a few resources at hand, who were originally somewhat tempted, became timid after hearing this news and could only wait…
for the Young Family Head to leave seclusion.
“Ha ha…” The ancestral patriarch had left seclusion.
He thought he would spend the rest of his days waiting to pass away, but after consuming the Supreme Elixir, the strength of his soul and body increased, he advanced a level, and his lifespan grew.
As long as he didn’t die, he would have more opportunities ahead.
With the appearance of Supreme Elixirs in the Martial World, if he could buy it once, he could do so again.
As the patriarch with abundant resources, he could not wait to leave seclusion and considered sending someone to purchase Supreme Elixirs.
With more Supreme Elixirs, he, an old man not long for this world, would no longer be such.
This time, his advance turned his gray hair black again after his lifespan increased, and his appearance grew much younger.
The ancestral patriarch’s excited laughter made the entire Luo Family hear his joyful voice.
His wife heard her husband’s laughter; correct, her husband had invited her over for dinner.
Luo Yaxuan’s grandmother had also just left seclusion.
With the Supreme Elixir given to her by her filial grandson, she too advanced a level, and her white hair turned black.
Her wrinkled old face transformed into that of someone 20 years younger.
