751: Chapter 495 751: Chapter 495 Jiang Tang could only think of another method, the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space inside had fruit trees specifically grown for wine-making.
Besides the fruit used for making wine, other fruits were treated as snacks by Eryao and Green Ox on a regular basis.
Jiang Tang’s Divine Sense stirred, and he picked a lot of grapes to materialize so that everyone could enjoy the fruit.
Then, he picked some apples and used an Alchemy Furnace as a tool to juice them, putting the apples inside before taking the Alchemy Furnace out.
Under Jiang Tang’s handiwork, a large cup appeared in front of each child, all made by Green Ox from the clay of the space.
These were specially made utensils, usually used for storage and all supplied by Jiang Tang when hosting guests outside.
The children only saw an Alchemy Furnace suddenly appear in front of them, which flew and when it reached them, it poured some juice from the spout into the cups.
The children watched, mesmerized and dazed, as the Alchemy Furnace flew, far more useful than they were.
In front of the Saint Master, they had seen too many strange and unusual experiences that they had never encountered before.
The fragrance and spiritual energy of the fruit juice instantly captivated the kids, making them feel like drooling.
Jiang Tang was so considerate, even the children had fruit juice to drink.
The beauties accompanying their boyfriends felt that if they couldn’t drink that much wine, they might try some fruit juice instead.
Apple juice, also rich in spiritual energy, was certainly worth a taste, especially since it was made by their boyfriends!
With both fruit wine and juice ready, now they only lacked a furnace-roasted whole sheep.
While Jiang Tang was busy at work, he was already silently controlling the Alchemy Furnace.
After pouring wine for the few beauties, he gave them a look and then lifted his cup, gesturing for a group toast with them.
The beauties giggled and together picked up their cups to clink with Jiang Tang.
“Jiang Tang, what are we celebrating?” Lin Dandan asked.
“Isn’t that obvious?
Of course, we’re celebrating our senior sister’s engagement!” Xuanyuan Mengting said like a caring big sister.
Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Mengting, Lin Dandan, and then their gazes turned to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang nodded and said, “Xuanyuan Mengting is right, we are celebrating our senior sister’s engagement in advance.”
“This toast, we should drink a bit more with our future brother-in-law!” Dugu Yan’er playfully suggested.
“Hehe, then tomorrow, let’s take action together!” Tang Yanran said mischievously, uncharacteristically.
“Haha, it seems our future senior brother-in-law can’t hold his liquor, how unlucky!”
As Jiang Tang spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
In their hearts, they already had a plan: at tomorrow’s engagement party, they would first pull a prank on the future groom.
While still drinking, Jiang Tang remembered that he hadn’t yet prepared the clothes for Yan Weiwei and her family to wear tomorrow.
An engagement was different from a wedding; the man’s side would send gifts over, but the woman’s side didn’t need to prepare a dowry yet.
Jiang Tang still didn’t fully understand the customs of the Cultivation World or the large families.
He sent his subordinates, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin, to quickly prepare the dowry in a hurry.
In fact, he had received some fine items previously from the royal families of other countries in his space.
All these could be used for Yan Weiwei’s dowry, but she still needed to personally pick out her clothes.
His base in the Imperial Capital was not yet fully established, and the engagement banquet was being held at the Ye Family’s General’s Mansion, where they were temporarily staying.
Therefore, in terms of etiquette, there weren’t so many traditional formalities.
What needed to be done must be done, and Jiang Tang was concerned that Yan Weiwei’s parents, wanting to provide for her, would find that they didn’t have enough gold and silver.
Jiang Tang didn’t care about the value of these items but also couldn’t let Yan Weiwei appear less well-off than the daughters of other noble families.
Gold and silver were merely numbers to him.
All the items that Yan Weiwei wore were gifts from him, along with the presents sent by Ye Tian.
The wealth that Yan Weiwei’s family possessed also came from his giving during this period.
While these items could facilitate their cultivation, they were not enough for a dowry.
Although Yan Weiwei came from a common family, she was marrying a rich family’s son, and with him, a capable junior disciple, her dowry would definitely not be inferior to that of princesses and noble daughters when they married.
Even ten times larger than their dowries.
As for the bride price the Ye family offered, it wasn’t something Jiang Tang considered important, a higher bride price simply indicated that the groom valued the bride a bit more.
Children of the martial world shouldn’t focus on these things; after all, that was the Capital City, and Yan Weiwei was marrying a son from a noble clan, a candidate even princesses would wish to marry.
Yan Weiwei had to marry off splendidly in others’ eyes, a hefty dowry foundation was a must.
Having no sisters of his own, Jiang Tang treated Yan Weiwei like an elder sister; therefore, it was only natural for him to want to gift her the best things as she got married.
If he could buy nice things with money, he would definitely do so.
That was why he hadn’t had the time to return to the Imperial City himself, and could only send his subordinates to handle it.
First, he needed his subordinates to purchase some important items on the list.
As for some of the valuable dowry items, there were ones he could refine overnight.
Jiang Tang wanted to use the gems from his Spirit Field Space, to create jewelry with the stones he had obtained from the Dragon King, jewelry that the noblewomen of the Capital City didn’t even possess.
Jiang Tang took the roasted whole lamb out of the Alchemy Furnace, giving one to the children to cut and eat, encouraging them to be hands-on from a young age.
His girlfriend was by no means a nanny for these kids.
Jiang Tang personally made lamb for the ladies to eat; a whole lamb for ten of them was actually more than they could finish.
He also shared some of the lamb with the children.
Following this Saint Master, they had feasted on seafood before, and now they had lamb to savor.
Considering the type of food they ate, some of the children born into wealth had never experienced such delicacies.
The spiritual energy in the food, the flavors locked in by the seasonings, made it delicious to eat.
After consuming the food, the spiritual energy would flow into their bodies, and drinking a mouthful of fruit juice, they could feel the rich spiritual energy within them.
It gave them the sensation that this one meal could enhance their cultivation progress.
The children’s feelings were accurate; while they were devouring the roast meat and felt the spiritual energy circulating, they ran their spiritual energy through a complete cycle.
Their master had told them to store spiritual energy within their meridians and to expand all their pathways and meridians.
By increasing the strength of their bodies, using their abilities to enhance their cultivation, it would double the strength of their bodies.
The children remembered their master’s words, and resisted the urge to immediately increase their cultivation, eating while practicing at the same time.
This diligent training pleased both their master and Jiang Tang.
Genius also needed diligent cultivation, and a mediocre person could become a genius through hard work.
Those born with genius who do not utilize resources to strive will someday be surpassed by the diligent average.
All these children were carefully selected by that beautiful beast organization as the best among them; they had intelligence roots, their cultivating abilities might not rank as genius.
Yet, they possessed excellent memory, remembering their master’s words after hearing them just once, had a good understanding, and showed well-behaved qualities.
Jiang Tang and the beauties ate meat and drank wine.
Meanwhile, he assigned tasks to those who could perform alchemy, artifact refining, talisman crafting, and preparation of formation materials or to some beauties who lacked such talents, asking them to assist the others.
Jiang Tang wanted all of the beauties to learn these skills to help him prepare the dowry for his senior sister that night.
The beauties also thought about it; as Jiang Tang’s senior sister was getting married, they, too, should present a gift.
Jiang Tang’s senior sister was also their sister, and naturally, they wanted to give the best gift as she got married.
Jiang Tang’s suggestion didn’t just involve those born with the capabilities for alchemy, talisman crafting, refining, and formation; Tang Yanran, Yun Duoduo, and Yuan Baozhu, who lacked these skills, joined their team in preparing the dowry.
Having not learned other skills before, they knew they should start from that moment, just like Jiang Tang said, to become all-around talented women.
Thus they needed to acquire these skills, and they received the foundational books Jiang Tang provided.
After a satisfying meal and drinks, Jiang Tang created separate spaces for each person inside the Flying Artifact, allowing them to work independently.
Jiang Tang observed that the Flying Artifact would reach the Imperial Capital in half an hour.
He informed them of their arrival in half an hour, asking them to get ready.
Jiang Tang also took advantage of this half-hour, which was enough for him to accomplish many things.
For artifact refining, he planned to craft a jewelry necklace for Yan Weiwei.
In his memory, a female celebrity from his previous life boasted about jewelry her husband bought for her worth three billion.
Jiang Tang thought he had plenty of gems, including Moonlight Stones, gems from the Dragon Palace, and he used these three types of stones to make a necklace that glittered with golden light.
