697: Chapter 468 697: Chapter 468 Others who were assigned to recruit disciples in different places, we were all released from Jiang Tang’s flying artifact at a specific location.
Two or three people together would have company; what they had in common with the lower cultivators was that they sought disciples in more remote areas.
After all, in the presence of higher sects and the Top Ten Clans, their abilities did not count as elite, and they would not gain adoration.
If they went to the mortal area, then their current abilities would already be considered those of immortals.
Gathering some with a bit of potential and nurturing them from there is just the same.
Moreover, what their two bases lacked the least were Pills—provided there were enough herbs planted, wouldn’t an infinite supply of Pills raise talents?
Jiang Tang is an example, becoming such a formidable figure in just a few short years.
The people he trained also rapidly accelerated in cultivation, and many wished to become his disciples.
Not just for the Pills but also to learn powerful Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
Jiang Tang took the flying artifact on a tour around the Ancient Xia Country, and gradually, he opened the windows, allowing everyone to appreciate the country’s beautiful scenery.
To let everyone see how grand and magnificent their homeland’s landscape was.
Jiang Tang marveled that such a fast flying artifact existed in the Cultivation World, allowing him to circle the entire Ancient Xia Country in less than a day.
Even the modern airplanes of his previous life couldn’t achieve such speed, and flying artifacts had another more convenient feature: they didn’t require fixed routes and weren’t afraid of colliding with other objects; as long as you decided on a location, it would get there.
Jiang Tang’s flying artifact, after a day’s journey with everyone on board eating, drinking, and making merry, ultimately arrived at the Imperial City.
This day of sightseeing also revealed to Jiang Tang that many places were impoverished.
He wanted to help but couldn’t just do so directly; besides, he wasn’t a messiah.
He hoped through some planning, he could give some people work, bring capable beings into his base, or employ them in some of his shops in various places.
The result of the beauties drawing lots came out; however, he needed to visit Ye Tian’s family with Yan Weiwei.
The nine beauties had never been in the same Imperial City before or befriended men from the Ye Family or visited their estate.
Previously, they were regarded as mere warriors, although as Guardian Gods they were venerated by the whole nation, yet had no relation to the Top Ten Clans.
The Four Noble Clans looked down on the kingship, preferring the pursuit of Cultivation, with power and resources not being controlled by the King or the officials but rather freely available for Cultivation.
Cultivators aimed for the path to Immortality, with the more capable ones prioritizing resources and focusing on diligent cultivation.
Only those with lesser abilities were bogged down with such worldly issues.
Ye Tian had already informed his family, that today he would bring old friends and his girlfriend back home.
When their arrow flew above his clan’s skies.
The guardians on the city gates didn’t notice, such a fast flying artifact quietly bypassed the Imperial City from above.
Jiang Tang didn’t let Ye Tian alert the officials, as he wanted to find out if someone else would notice the arrival of his flying artifact in the Imperial City.
As one might expect, aside from the Ye Family and the families of the nine girls, no one else knew of his arrival in the Imperial City.
Jiang Tang also didn’t let Ye Tian inform the King or other officials to avoid additional trouble for himself, preferring to appear in the Imperial City with a secret identity.
The house he bought also didn’t require the authorities to know the homeowner’s identity.
The flying artifact descended at a place where the family Formation had already been activated, and the disciples could not clearly see what artifact it was before it had already landed on the ground.
Just as they were shocked as to who it could be, realizing that someone had penetrated their family’s powerful Formation—if it were an enemy, they could have been annihilated.
Ye Tian and Ye Qiu emerged from the flying artifact, accompanied by some strangers.
Recognizing the Young General and mission personnel, the family’s disciples relaxed their expressions and respectfully greeted their kinsman and the guests.
Ye Tian didn’t say much to the disciple guarding the gate or the patrolling guards; he merely informed them that all these people were his honored guests, indicating through his words that the people from their Family must not surveil them.
All the disciples respectfully nodded; possessing such powerful flying treasures and being able to enter their Family without having to ask for their help in lifting the seal meant these individuals were capable beings, and they indeed felt immense pressure from them.
Among this group, there were lower-level cultivators and the highest level of pressure emanated from a young man.
This young man was younger than them, and while the Young General appeared youthful, this young man’s imposing presence was even greater than that of the Young General, clearly possessing abilities surpassing those of the Young General, without deliberately showing off his energy.
The natural aura of nobility flowed from some of the men and women; except for one family with lower cultivation, who seemed very ordinary, they dared not show any disdain in their hearts, as these were the distinguished guests brought by the Young General.
Ye Tian, being accompanied by his distinguished guests and future father-in-law, naturally had to meet with the Family Head, so he brought out his father and the elders—who were busy within the Family—to the reception lounge to greet the guests.
With guests of high status coming from afar, figures of a somewhat higher standing within the Family also returned from the main streets outside the Imperial City, and this naturally included Ye Tian’s brother, Ye Shi.
Ye Tian introduced each member of his Family one by one, and upon seeing the beautiful women among them, it was noted that nine of them were daughters of the Ten Great Clans.
Their Young General’s future companion turned out to also be a beauty with considerable strength, already possessing Golden Core cultivation.
Although such was quite ordinary within their kind of Family, they did not disdain Yan Weiwei.
They were even more aware of Jiang Tang, the alchemist with such formidable abilities.
His cultivation had been so low a few years ago, and still relatively low a few months prior, but after several months of fortuitous transformations, his capabilities might now be on par with their ancient ancestor.
This young man of only twenty-some years could possibly stand at the same height as their old ancestor, who took many more years to reach such a level.
Jiang Tang felt very much at ease with the warm hospitality shown by the Ye Family.
Yan Weiwei and her family received hospitable smiles from Ye Tian and other Family members.
Their anxious hearts relaxed a little, especially for Yan Weiwei’s parents and family who were originally ordinary farmers; their worried hearts calmed slightly at seeing Jiang Tang leading the way to this place, confirming it as a clear choice.
The nine daughters from the Top Ten Clans observed that the Divine General’s Mansion in the Imperial City was well-guarded, and the hospitality was first-rate; aside from the stern expressions, the head of the Household seemed like a good parent.
Luo Yaxuan, Lai Jianlin, and a few other subordinates who had come along were merely bystanders.
It seemed the General’s Mansion Family might be more formidable than their own families, with both the younger and older generations boasting higher capabilities, truly deserving of being a formidable Family outside the Top Ten Clans.
The title of Guardian God General was no exaggeration, judging from their righteous expression, one could trust them and sense a heroic spirit.
“Older brother, sister-in-law is so beautiful, not bad at all, how come you didn’t bring more beauties?” Ye Shi said to Ye Tian with a mischievous smile.
In the short time since they had sat down, Ye Shi could already tell that the nine daughters of the Ten Great Clans fancied Jiang Tang.
He also saw Ye Qiu, a Family member who was supposed to be on a mission outside; Ye Qiu had returned from his mission and could have reported for another, but instead was firmly kept in the lounge.
And he was sitting next to a beauty, which made Ye Shi feel like he’d greatly missed out.
Shouldn’t he have taken this mission outside?
Wasn’t this letting an outsider benefit?
Beauties from outside are better after all.
Recently, while he strolled the streets, he felt that the women within the Imperial City, some daughters of noble families who were out playing and socializing every day, were not simple or innocent.
Ye Shi disliked such women; he preferred those like the ones his older brother favored—gentle, beautiful, and generous in character, blushing in the presence of their Family members.
It seemed he and his older brother had similar tastes in women.
He wished his sister-in-law had siblings, but unfortunately, this beauty had caught the eye of a Family member.
“Are you the alchemy master, Jiang Tang, whose name resonates throughout the Martial World?”
The old General looked at Jiang Tang with admiration; this young man had abilities that were even higher than his own.
It seemed that the rumors of this powerful figure were true.
He had previously worried that his son could be exploited, but meeting someone like Jiang Tang eased those fears.
And seeing that Jiang Tang’s face bore no excess of slaughter, from his many deeds, it appeared he indeed had a strong sense of justice.
