489: Chapter 365 489: Chapter 365 The group, upon hearing Jiang Tang discuss the resources present, were half in doubt.
Yet they had no choice but to strive and compete because even just standing before this person made them feel immense pressure.
Jiang Tang radiated a natural aura of coercion that everyone could feel, clearly showing that the level of his cultivation was not something they could aspire to reach.
Previously, Liu Yong’s family had only heard about Jiang Tang’s capabilities from Luo Yaxuan, saying how extraordinarily talented he was, possessing abilities not even the ancient ancestors of the Immortal Sect had.
But they hadn’t anticipated that Jiang Tang, who they now saw with their own eyes, was so young, even more so than Luo Yaxuan, resembling a pretty boy.
Rumors in the Martial World even claimed that the Ten Great Clans had offered their daughters to be his wife.
It appeared the rumors weren’t wrong at all; not only did Jiang Tang have high cultivation levels, but he was also skilled in alchemy.
Who knew what other skills he had up his sleeve?
With such skills, he alone was worth an entire Immortal Sect’s manpower, and one of his Supreme Elixirs could possibly be the entire wealth of a small Noble Clan.
Even the Golden Core Elders like themselves couldn’t afford such expensive Pills.
Even if they were immensely capable, they lacked the means to purchase Immortal Pills.
But, following him, if they had the chance to access resources, they absolutely had to take it!
No sooner had they arrived than Jiang Tang promised resources—if they built up the Immortal Sect and unlocked this place devoid of Spiritual Energy, providing them with cultivation resources.
When such an expert made a move, it was the Supreme Elixirs that they coveted as cultivation resources!
They had come here to acquire skills and access cultivation resources and Supreme Elixirs.
Jiang Tang had already painted a big picture; the men began setting up tents on the mountain since, aside from caves, there were no other dwellings.
The girls started picking fruit all over the mountain, not wanting to waste any; they could gather them into Storage Bags, to later use for making juice or wine.
The girls felt it would be a shame to cut down all the fruit trees on the mountain, especially since they bore flowers and fruits all year round.
If it was necessary to dig caves to build palace-like structures, they could remove the trees in the required areas.
If they could save some, it would add to the scenery.
Jiang Tang thought the girls’ suggestions were sensible.
If the mountain were blessed with Spiritual Energy, these trees would transform, and the abundant fruits would create a beautiful landscape.
Although this was the main mountain, they could just as well construct the sect entrance on another mountain and build additional houses elsewhere—houses for living, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talisman Crafting, and more.
Jiang Tang tasked everyone with devising a plan and mapping out the area; they were to develop each mountain within the hundreds of miles so that each one would be functional.
He further explained that this place was merely for crafting advanced Magical Treasures.
They would have a separate site for crafting more ordinary, yet powerful items.
The others didn’t know what those other places were like, but seeing this location, they could imagine if it truly contained vast resources, why would they have any reason to refuse to do more?
This time, they brought people with various skills and cultivations, some in construction, others in Formation, Alchemy, Talisman Crafting, Artifact Refining.
This was but house building and cave digging—something they could easily achieve by employing Magic Artifacts.
Among them, the highest cultivation was at the Golden Core Stage, and the lowest at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Several hundred people working together on dozens of mountains covering hundreds of miles was a formidable force.
These Capable Beings were powerhouses compared to ordinary people, thanks to their speed and abilities to use Storage Bags for transporting items and their capacity for flight—unmatchable by mere mortals.
Ordinary people would require horse-drawn or oxen-pulled carts for transportation, which was incredibly cumbersome.
For an ordinary person, it might take a month just to travel a hundred miles in a horse-drawn cart, and the physical labor demanded to haul items up mountains would require enormous manpower and resources.
These individuals were different; a single Storage Bag could hold vast quantities.
Moreover, those with more substantial wealth didn’t just rely on Storage Bags; they also had storage rings and Storage Necklaces.
The capacity of their storage items varied, depending solely on their own strength!
With hundreds of people present and only dozens of mountains to manage, not every mountain needed to house palatial residences.
The accommodations for Disciples, for instance, might be built more modestly.
More often, they’d dig holes as mice would, saving resources in the process, work suited for both men and women alike!
Jiang Tang was far from idle.
He had improved the former abode of the monkeys, the cave in the mountain, turning it into a temporary lodging, while contemplating the construction of a greater palace on the mountaintop—a location that lent itself to both a high vantage point and prowess, atop the tallest and most resource-rich mountain among all spanning tens of miles.
Besides observing the ongoing work, Jiang Tang was vigilant for any outsiders approaching this area.
Shortly after the beam of light had brought this group of people here, a few more had ventured into this mist-enshrouded place, only to leave discreetly.
He didn’t believe their presence was coincidental.
Although he didn’t recognize these people and saw no further moves from them, they seemed to vanish as if they no longer existed.
Whether they had left or were hiding somewhere nearby, given time, their true nature would surely be revealed!
Luo Yaxuan had fully embarked on his mission along with his master, mistress, and junior sister, responsible for one of the mountains.
With everyone assigned tasks, the hundreds of individuals were divided into teams, each taking on a mountain, and the tasks began in earnest.
