365: Chapter 303 365: Chapter 303 Not only curious about what they were trading, but also knowing what they were planning to do, one feels at ease.
Knowing their intended plans put the mind at ease.
Jiang Tang didn’t need someone to guide him, he already knew which room those people were in, and he was the first to leave the Council Hall through the main entrance.
There was still a crowd around the entrance of the Council Hall when Jiang Tang appeared; they saw Jiang Tang, bowed respectfully, and moved aside to leave a path for him to pass through.
“You all with things to do, go ahead!
Let me tell you some good news, Jiang Tang, the Family Head, has already granted some Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
As long as you make contributions, you’ll be able to learn these techniques and spells.
As for the rest, wait for Jiang Family Head to distribute the rewards.”
The Elder, who had collected the Jade Slip, announced this to the crowd, and upon hearing the news, they all dispersed following the Elder’s lead.
Making contributions to the family, that’s indeed their bread and butter.
Some even chased after the Elder, inquiring about the criteria set by Jiang Family Head and what kind of achievements would be rewarded with Supreme Elixirs.
The Elder replied to their questions, saying that once Jiang Family Head had chosen the location for the Saint Sect, there would be rewards for family members helping with the construction and rewards for working in the sect too.
The people of the Jiang Family, having heard that there were now Cultivation Techniques and Spells available, naturally wanted to possess their own techniques and spells; becoming stronger was something everyone desired to achieve.
Some had learned a few techniques and spells from the Sects outside but were unsure whether the techniques and spells from the Great Power Holder Jiang Tang’s Secret Manuals could truly enhance their strength.
Jiang Tang led so many people into the receiving room, where there simply were not enough seats for everyone.
The already seated Lai Family Head and Luo Family Head rose up with their people and offered their seats.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, there was a bit of a delay just now.”
Jiang Tang spoke to the Luo and Lai families, who were from first-rate families and showed good manners upon arrival, understanding this didn’t mean they were submitting to the Jiang Family, but likely out of respect for him.
“Are you the venerable Jiang Tang?” Luo Sheng felt the innate pressure emanating from this young man; he had a gentle countenance, yet such immense pressure radiated from him that it left those of lower cultivation struggling for air.
One could tell without guessing – this man had far greater abilities than them, a pressure they had never experienced before, belonging to a realm they had never encountered.
Jiang Tang nodded at the Luo Family, confirming, “Yes, that’s me.”
After speaking, Jiang Tang, undisturbed, took a seat at the head, and not all the guests had a chance to sit down.
With the Jiang Family Head and the ancestor seated, no more stools were available, so the rest had to stand while speaking.
The others from the Jiang Family looked to Jiang Tang as their leader.
At this moment, Jiang Tang, an outsider, had become the authoritative Family Head in the room, earning everyone’s admiration and willing allegiance.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin had met Jiang Tang before; they clasped their hands and gave a respectful bow towards Jiang Tang, their eyes fixed on him, feeling a surge of emotions within.
It had only been just over half a month since they last saw this man; they had thought that with their own cultivation growth over the past month, they had taken steps forward, closing the gap between them and this man.
But now, seeing this man again, they realized he had increased his cultivation so significantly, becoming a giant in their eyes once more.
This man was too much like a Demon – could his strength have been amassed using Supreme Elixirs?
Only he had the ability to do so; to others, even a single Supreme Elixir was hard to come by.
“Immortal Master Jiang Tang, we meet again.
If it had not been for your escort before, we would have succumbed to others’ greed.
We have not yet had the chance to express our gratitude in person, so thank you very much.”
As soon as Luo Yaxuan finished speaking, Lai Jianlin followed, saying:
“Immortal Master Jiang Tang, you are truly incredible.
Despite our strenuous efforts in cultivation over the last half a month, we’ve only improved slightly, but your cultivation has advanced so significantly, you are truly our idol.
I share the same gratitude as Luo Yaxuan for your timely assistance.”
The rest of the crowd, upon hearing these two young men, didn’t quite understand why they were thanking Jiang Tang, but from their words, it could be inferred that they had met with Jiang Tang before and possibly, as the rumors suggested, these two families’ young ones knew Jiang Tang and had purchased Supreme Elixirs from him.
No wonder the people from the Luo and Lai Families have all increased their cultivation levels.
Members of the Jiang Family thought they had secured the highest realm among the first-rate families, only to find that the younger generation of the Luo and Lai Families surpassed their own in terms of cultivation by such a significant margin.
The Jiang Family Head thought of his son and daughter, who had not yet been given the Supreme Elixirs to improve their cultivation levels since they returned home.
The younger generation of the family was falling behind, but fortunately, they had Jiang Tang.
With the cultivation techniques and spells he had just provided, they should be able to improve the cultivation of the younger members even without the Supreme Elixirs.
Jiang Tang smiled and shook his head in response to Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin’s words:
“Since we’re acquainted, let’s not stand on ceremony.
I’m pleased with our cooperation.”
“Immortal Master Jiang Tang, our families have gathered some resources and would like to exchange them for some Supreme Elixirs.
We also heard about establishing the Saint Sect.
Could our family join your Sect and become a dependent clan under your Sect?”
No sooner had Luo Yaxuan finished speaking than Lai Jianlin added:
“We have discussed it and decided to follow you, Jiang Tang.
We hope you will take us under your wing.
Whatever you plan to do, we will support you.
We just want to exchange resources for Supreme Elixirs so that some of our elite disciples can enter the Sect for study and contribution, in the hopes of earning rewards.”
Jiang Tang had only thought that these two families would exchange resources for some Supreme Elixirs, and he could be of help to them as friends.
But he had not expected that on his visit to the Jiang Family, after mentioning the establishment of the Saint Sect, these two families would also want to join.
The Luo Family was a first-rate clan in Immortal Lord City, while the Lai Family was a second-rate one.
With this, his following would include two first-rate families and one second-rate family.
Having two major families from Immortal Lord City as dependent clans under his Sect and adding more disciples was undoubtedly a good thing for the establishment of the Saint Sect.
The site he had mentioned earlier was a bit over a hundred li from Immortal Lord City.
Cultivators of Qi Cultivation level six and above, who could fly with magical treasures, could reach the intended site in about an hour’s flight.
After hearing what the Jiang Family Head had to say, Jiang Tang only wanted to assess the site for the Sect and see if both locations could be suitable for establishing the Saint Sect.
Now, with the addition of more families, if both sites were viable, one could be the headquarters and the other a branch.
What Jiang Tang was truly considering was that he wanted to recruit not just these people for the Sect, but to become the largest Sect in the cultivation world.
Thus, by widely accepting disciples and establishing multiple locations as the Sect’s bases, he could enlist more people into the Sect.
“That’s possible, but did just a few of you discuss this?
Have you not spoken with your family?
Better go back and discuss this with your entire family.”
What Jiang Tang meant was that if only a few high-ranking members decided on this, it might be too overbearing.
What if the lower-ranking members were not willing?
If one day there was a revolt among them, it would cause a lot of trouble for him.
A Sect could only have one voice, yet the higher-ups could not be the sole decision-makers, leaving the rest in the dark.
“Immortal Master Jiang Tang, we understand your point.
Could you please exchange some Supreme Elixirs with us, so we can take them back to our family and discuss further?”
“Yes!
Once we bring the resources back, we believe the members of our clans will not oppose our decision.”
Both the Luo Family Head and the Lai Family Clan said this, and their esteemed ancestors were present as well.
“Alright then!
Let’s exchange the resources first.”
Jiang Tang just happened to have some Supreme Elixirs on him, which his avatars had recently concocted during the meeting and his flight over here.
The Supreme Elixirs were no longer plentiful in stock.
Despite his generous distribution, the two avatars tirelessly crafting them around the clock were not enough to meet the demand — even if they could produce ten pills per batch.
Jiang Tang took out two storage bags from his chest, which in reality, he retrieved from the space where his avatars had concocted the Supreme Elixirs.
