340: Chapter 291 340: Chapter 291 Jiang Tang also informed Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan to wait for him at Immortal Lord City, telling them he would arrive in two days.
Maybe she wouldn’t need two days to reach Immortal Lord City, so there was no need to hurry.
He wanted to see those expressions of gratitude from those who had obtained Supreme Elixirs from him and enhanced their cultivation.
Perhaps this was also a kind of vanity peculiar to an Alchemist, and Jiang Tang had this vanity as well.
If he had no vanity, he could have developed Supreme Elixirs, found a place to hide, and then ascended silently, without a cloud in tow.
But he had vanity, did more deeds worthy of the Holy Mother, and founded the Saint Sect.
He felt that, before his ascension, it was necessary to establish the Saint Sect, using the descendants of the Jiang Family to live on as such a sect.
Before ascending, he would impart all the secret manuals he had acquired, save the Star-absorbing Spell, to others; the Magic Artifacts he had obtained could either be sold or left to his descendants.
The Holy Pavilion was surrounded tightly, but Jiang Tang and the others didn’t rush to leave; he made tea for the beautiful women and the Dugu brothers, enjoying tea comfortably in the room.
Time passed, and half a day went by, and as darkness fell, those people’s mass ascension reached a critical moment, such a large-scale mass ascension of so many people.
It was truly a spectacular sight, with many people ascending together; from afar, one could see the rosy clouds constantly flickering, as if treasures had appeared.
Seeing the flickering rosy clouds, people began to suspect that an Immortal Artifact might have appeared, and they all rushed over to this place.
These people’s ascension wasn’t like other cultivators who needed the attraction of outside Spiritual Energy for a faster ascension.
They ascended with ease simply by consuming the Pills they had ingested, leaping from one small step to a much larger one.
Jiang Tang, with his sensitive spiritual awareness, realized that more and more people were rushing toward them; he certainly did not want to be surrounded and trapped here.
“We can leave now,” Jiang Tang said to everyone.
The men and women drinking tea with him, despite not having his high level of cultivation, also felt as if more people were approaching them.
Jiang Tang gave instructions to his employees: if anyone came causing trouble, let them; they were to sneak out and take the important items with them.
The employees didn’t know what was happening, but upon hearing that the boss was leaving, they knew they couldn’t handle a crowd as crazy as this one if they came smashing things and looking for the boss who wouldn’t be there.
Jiang Tang led everyone out of the shop, passing by like a gust of wind, a flash of shadows, and then they were gone without a trace.
The employees made their way through the secret passageway and left the shop on the North City Immortal Sect’s main street, caring not whether the shop was smashed or robbed, only wanting to leave this place of trouble.
After Jiang Tang and his group left, many people arrived.
They found that the source of the rosy glow was just a shop on the street, a shop many knew by the name “Holy Pavilion.”
Arriving people asked what had happened here?
Why was there rosy light?
Those who knew the story explained that the rosy light was the result of many people ascending together, which was so spectacular because they had all used Supreme Elixirs.
They had been watching on the main street, receiving heavenly messages in the rosy light, and operating their cultivation techniques to absorb such an opportunity.
Hearing the explanation, others learned that Supreme Elixirs were being sold here, and those who had resources wanted to exchange for the elixirs.
Those without resources sought the chance to obtain Supreme Elixirs.
“Where is the owner of the shop, the one who sold you the Supreme Elixirs?”
Nobody believed that the owner had gone; more people entered the shop, squeezing out those who had been there before.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be disappointing, the owner was not there, and even the employees were gone.
Some people knew that Jiang Tang was originally from North City Immortal Sect.
Could it be that Jiang Tang had gone back there?
So, many people went to the entrance of North City Immortal Sect, specifically wanting to see Jiang Tang.
The guarding disciple said that Elder Jiang Tang had left the sect and not returned.
Desperate for Supreme Elixirs, nobody believed the guard’s words and started shouting loudly, demanding to see Jiang Tang.
If Jiang Tang refused to meet them, they would have no choice but to storm into North City Immortal Sect.
North City Immortal Sect was the premier sect, but many there were not its members; their cultivation was generally higher than that of the North City Immortal Sect’s ordinary disciples.
Some Loose Cultivators even had cultivation above Nascent Soul.
How could the guarding disciples stop such high-level cultivators?
All they could do was report to their higher-ups.
After receiving the report, the clueless leaders didn’t dare make decisions on their own, only escalating the situation through more reports.
The reports went up the chain, eventually reaching the Sect Leader, who had just received Supreme Elixirs and was planning to seclude himself for cultivation again.
Not wanting to be burdened with public duties and meet these people, he ordered the activation of the Mountain-Sealing Formation, closing the gates to visitors as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The sudden mountain-sealing by North City Immortal Sect caught those clamoring to meet Jiang Tang by surprise; they couldn’t breach the formation and could only shout angrily at the bottom of the mountain, refusing to believe that Jiang Tang wasn’t in North City Immortal Sect.
The unexpected sealing might very well mean Jiang Tang was inside.
These people refused to leave, staying outside North City Immortal Sect’s gates, occasionally beating up returning disciples they encountered.
North City Immortal Sect’s sudden sealing trapped many disciples who had been out on missions or who had ventured into the city for fun, now unable to return to the sect.
