425: Chapter 333 425: Chapter 333 Last time during the competition among fellow disciples, Luo Yaxuan proved stronger than all the rest, and those competing at that moment were there as well.
This trip was actually a mutual idea between the two of them, not knowing whether it was the others being too honest or that they were already satisfied with the status quo, having a master to lead them, they felt passionate and didn’t want to venture out.
When they set out, they only told their master they were going to travel and dared not say they were going to rely on anyone.
If they truly succeeded in becoming stronger, it would be somewhat better.
Going out had its pros and cons, and if they had said so in advance, others would accuse them of being too ambitious, yes, disloyal to the sect.
If they went out and failed to make a name for themselves, they would truly have no face to meet their fellow disciples and elders of their own sect.
Their master wasn’t unkind to them, but ever since the advent of supreme elixirs in the Martial World, their master, for his own benefit, also longed to possess supreme elixirs, yet lacked the resources.
In the past, he would privately give some resources to his disciples, but now for his own sake, he no longer attended to his pupils as much.
They did not blame their master; such is the nature of cultivation.
If one has the capability, one can become a Loose Cultivator; unfortunately, without the protection of a sect, it might be even harder.
The many considerations they had were actually all just for the sake of resources, unwilling to be ordinary cultivators, they wished to advance further.
As the two of them enjoyed their meal and drinks, they had no intention of sleeping in their guest rooms, waiting instead for Luo Yaxuan and his family to finish their discussions about searching for the alchemist; they planned to follow them.
Liu Yong and Xiao Xiang took their daughter into the guest room, and the young disciple followed, displaying his skill by personally preparing a delicious meal for the three of them.
After obtaining permission, he joined them in the meal.
The hardships they had faced left them famished, and although they had later consumed some dry provisions to regain some strength, it was not enough.
“Mom and Dad, please don’t leave yet.
Stay here for the time being, I can’t rest easy knowing you might be heading back!”
After this difficult ordeal, Liu Jiaojiao’s previous naivete seemed to have given way to a bit more maturity; she understood that she should care not just for herself, but also for her parents.
“Husband, let’s wait and see what happens here.
We’ve come all this way, and if there’s an opportunity, we might meet the alchemist and attain a supreme elixir.
We’re not looking to trade resources, but as long as he has use for us, we can also do tasks.”
“Xiang’er, just now I thought I heard Luo Yaxuan and his brother discussing that the alchemist is looking to build a sect and might need our help.
We could lend a hand and possibly get something in return.”
With both spouses in agreement they could stay, Liu Jiaojiao clapped her hands in joy upon hearing this news.
Having never left her mother and father for so many years, and just having survived a calamity, she truly did not want her parents to leave.
Their daughter was laughing and jumping with happiness, and the couple also smiled.
Such is the life of cultivators; as long as there’s an opportunity to obtain higher cultivation resources, why not take it, as long as it doesn’t violate their principles?
Listening silently, Sun Zi’an was not at liberty to voice his opinion, but he had already made up his mind.
Having thought it through, he would follow Luo Yaxuan and from then on, he would never leave.
Wherever Luo Yaxuan went, he would follow.
Ever since he received the cultivation technique from Luo Yaxuan, he had made considerable progress.
At this moment, it would be foolish not to accompany Luo Yaxuan if he could reap greater benefits!
With a stronger master, there was a possibility that he could receive even higher instruction in spells.
Luo Yaxuan, along with his father and the already retired grandfather, sat with the three elders of the family in the Council Hall.
As he related what Jiang Tang had said, the members of the family already had an answer.
“Yaxuan, our family has always relied on the Saint Sect.
By putting in some effort when they need people, we stand to gain a lot in the future,” Luo Sheng said, finishing his remarks.
As soon as he spoke, the elders nodded and voiced their opinions in turn.
“I say, with so many young people in our family, it’s about time they went out and did something productive,” the Great Elder commented.
“Hmm, we’re fine just maintaining our position.
As long as the youth are successful, our future rests on the next generation,” said Elder Sann.
“That’s exactly it.
Once our family has support, and the young ones who went out return home, they can’t just sit idle.
It’s perfect for them to go out and experience the world,” Elder Er added.
“Your suggestions are sound, whether our family can ascend to greater heights depends not only on us, the older generation of leaders but also on providing a stage for the youth to grow.
Even I, as the ancestor, am no longer sufficient,” the ancestor expressed his opinion.
Had Luo Yaxuan not gone to the Immortal Sect and seen youths of his age already at the Nascent Soul Stage or higher during the competition among all Immortal Sects, he would have found his previous arrogance laughable, considering that he was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Afterwards, having obtained Supreme Elixirs and cultivated a Golden Core, he still found his abilities far short of his expectations.
Even with the cultivation techniques and spells Jiang Tang had given him, he still felt his own cultivation was not strong enough; it was far from sufficient.
He wondered if he could always stay by Jiang Tang’s side.
Perhaps, with Jiang Tang’s guidance and sharing of his experiences, Luo Yaxuan might become stronger.
Ever since meeting Jiang Tang and his friends, Luo Yaxuan thought this person was extraordinary, attaining his achievements through his own efforts, yet he also seemed incredibly lucky.
This person had too many secrets; being by his side and benefiting from his fortune would be immensely advantageous.
Since Lai Jianlin of the Lai Family happened to be available, why not seek out Jiang Tang and request his help in detoxifying someone, and take the opportunity to participate in this construction of the Immortal Sect?
Although they did not understand construction, they were capable individuals.
Unlike those craftsmen who could learn what they didn’t understand, they sought to learn from this construction experience by following those with abilities, such as setting up Formations for the Immortal Sect’s construction.
Luo Yaxuan’s thought process was such; aside from Alchemy, Jiang Tang’s revealed abilities included teaching spells and cultivation techniques.
What else could there possibly be that he didn’t understand?
Could Jiang Tang be knowledgeable in Formations?
Jiang Tang himself was rather mysterious, and many people were curious about where those herbs on his person came from.
With the numerous Supreme Elixirs he created, even if he had a large storage space like rings or Storage Bags, such items would one day run out.
Jiang Tang was so generous with gifting Supreme Elixirs as if the resources for his pill-making were inexhaustible, like he was engaged in a costless trade.
Many followed him, yet they never saw him creating Supreme Elixirs.
He would occasionally sell or enter seclusion; for a normal alchemist, producing one or two pills per batch was already impressive.
Even if Jiang Tang produced five pills per batch as he had demonstrated, that wasn’t enough to sell to others in such great quantities.
Luo Yaxuan recalled that time when, despite Jiang Tang being far away and accompanied by some beauties, he was still able to protect them.
It showed that Jiang Tang could tear through space.
Following such a magnificent being was indeed their fortune.
In the Nangong Immortal Sect, not to mention seeing the ancestor’s face, they had never even seen the face of the Sect Leader.
The ancestor was said to be in constant seclusion, and the Sect Leader often delegated certain matters to the Elders.
Only occasionally would the Elders manage to see the Sect Leader, who was also frequently in seclusion.
Such minor figures as themselves had no chance of seeing high-ranking individuals.
Meeting Jiang Tang was different; his cultivation was so high and yet he still protected them.
This indicated he was worth following, that he would defend his own, his nature inherently kind.
It was said that Jiang Tang came from a poor family.
His parents had died in an epidemic, and although one would not necessarily say that the poor are kind, he faced such great adversity without changing his nature or blaming the heavens or earth but remained relentlessly self-improving.
He was indeed worth emulating.
At the same age, he had greater abilities than their older generation, stronger than their masters, and could directly teach them cultivation techniques, signifying that his strength was beyond their wildest imaginings.
After discussing with his family and the higher-ups in his clan for an hour, Luo Yaxuan did not return to his own courtyard.
Instead, he went to see his mother and then his grandmother.
Thus prepared mentally, he knew that he might not be able to return for a year and a half.
Even though the place was not far, his family could visit him, but during the construction of a base, it was generally not open to others until a certain phase was complete.
