563: Chapter 401 563: Chapter 401 Of course, there were many who envied them, hoping to follow the Immortals just like the people from Yan Family.
Jiang Tang, seeing these people longing for cultivation, remembered he had some herbs used for refining Spirit Supplement Pills in his storage space.
Normally, he focused on getting more of the Supreme Elixirs for his avatar to practice calligraphy and paid little attention to the ordinary herbs, letting them pile up like mountains.
While everyone was eating and drinking, he thought of giving them some gifts, so he had his avatar urgently refine a batch of Spirit Supplement Pills.
Ordinary people could consume these pills, which would enhance their health without any side effects.
Even a person barely clinging to life could recover their qi and extend their lifespan after consuming one of these pills.
The villagers, as well as the soldiers, had never enjoyed such delicious Spirit Rice or tasted such delightful vegetables and meat.
They ate to their heart’s content, filling their stomachs to the point of bursting, reluctant to waste any leftovers, which they naturally packed up to take with them.
The soldiers had their fill and, when it came time to depart, they bid farewell to Ye Tian and the Immortals.
As they were leaving, Jiang Tang gave each of them a Storage Bag filled with not only money but also pills for cultivation.
The soldiers had only ever envied the people from the Cultivation World for having Storage Bags and such rich resources for cultivation, never imagining that one day, they too would receive such valuable resources.
Their faces lit up with surprise and gratitude towards Jiang Tang, kneeling in thanks.
Upon inspecting the Storage Bags and discovering the abundance of money and even more precious cultivation resources inside, they were ecstatic!
The villagers also felt envious as the soldiers obtained cultivation resources.
After seeing off the soldiers and having eaten their fill, they began to clear the dishes and utensils.
Yan Weiwei and her family said their goodbyes to the villagers, getting ready to leave.
Many villagers found it hard to let go, hoping they would return one day.
Of course, many also harbored selfish desires, hoping the Immortals could lend their aid, allowing the younger generation to cultivate.
Before leaving, Jiang Tang gave these people some gifts, feeling that, as this was his senior sister’s hometown and the ordinary folk lacked cultivation techniques to protect themselves, it was fitting to provide them with cultivation resources and a book.
Yan Weiwei was so moved she was beyond words, never having imagined that one day she’d be able to take her family into cultivation and empower her oppressed villagers to improve their abilities so they no longer had to suffer bullying.
Seeing his senior sister so happy, Jiang Tang felt his effort had been worthwhile.
Ye Tian, watching the woman he loved smile so radiantly, couldn’t help but reflect a tender expression on his own face, his heart warming with her joy.
Among the several hundred along for the journey, there were actually some who came from humble beginnings.
Among them, Mo Wen and Liu Yong, men born into ordinary families, witnessed common folk being given the chance to cultivate and felt a pang of envy.
They began to entertain thoughts and considered asking Jiang Tang if they, too, might bring back such Secret Manuals to their hometowns.
Cai Xiangxiang, with her silent and affectionate gaze, harbored her own thoughts but dared not voice them, fearing that saying anything at all might lead to being left behind.
Cai Xiangxiang felt that with every meeting with Jiang Tang—now their third—her affection for him grew.
Being able to stay beside him, even if only to covertly watch and harbor an unspoken love, felt satisfying to her.
She, of course, also wished for a chance to return home with a Secret Manual that would enable ordinary people to cultivate.
There might be a chance, or there might not be one at all.
Cai Xiangxiang knew that her feelings were like a moth drawn to a flame, fully aware that this man was adored by many women, yet she embraced her secret adoration despite its bittersweet nature, known only to those who have experienced it themselves.
Yan Weiwei’s parents and relatives didn’t make much contact with their family; her elder brother and brother-in-law’s wives didn’t even return to their maternal homes to bid farewell.
They hastily wrote letters, asking the villagers to pass them on to their maternal families.
Such behavior might seem a bit heartless, but having married into their husband’s families, they prioritized those households and worried that lingering too long might mean missing the departure with the Immortal Master—leaving only the women behind.
Yan Weiwei’s family packed their belongings, though there wasn’t much they could take with them.
Seeing her family even preparing to pack kitchen items like pots and bowls, Yan Weiwei stopped them.
Perhaps they would never return to this house, but there was no need to take these household furnishings and utensils with them.
Yan Weiwei only let her family pack a few nicer clothes and some simple luggage to bring with them.
Yan Weiwei’s family, under the villagers’ farewells, boarded a gigantic Flying Artifact.
Even with so many Immortals on board, it didn’t feel cramped at all.
Looking down through the window, as the Flying Artifact slowly ascended, they only saw familiar waving figures turn into dots, gradually bidding farewell to their hometown.
This flight did not stop halfway and did not immediately return to the base.
Instead, it allowed people from the three families, who had been out for half a month, to return home first and also to buy more construction materials in Immortal Lord City.
Jiang Tang observed that the construction of this base was nearly complete and felt that he could leave the rest to some people to handle while taking others to construct another base.
Ever since meeting so many powerful figures today, he felt the faster the construction, the better.
Jiang Tang also felt the need to learn advanced Formations quickly.
The Luo Family, Lai Family, and Jiang Family were delighted to hear that they could return home first.
Not every young person was without a spouse—out of these hundreds of individuals, some already had wives and children.
Jiang Tang let the people from those three families off to prepare for their return home and, of course, provided them with plenty of money to make purchases.
Each person received a Storage Bag and found that, in addition to Spirit Stones and gold, there were also gold and white Energy Stones from the base.
Inside were also Pills.
Using their Divine Sense to investigate, they realized that each bottle contained more than one pill, with ten in each bottle—twenty Supreme Elixirs in total!
Without having completed their task, they were overjoyed to have secured so many resources in just half a month and quickly flew back home.
Those who had followed Lai Jianlin also followed him home, choosing to return with him to his family and seek resources like the others to bring back to the base.
Luo Yaxuan also took his people back home, reaping a full harvest.
While sharing with his family, he, like the others, took two days to gather the needed resources.
With several hundred people sharing so many Pills, it seemed like a significant amount of money was lost, but this was a method of winning people’s hearts.
After all, those were Pills refined by an Avatar, not something he had to make himself.
The resources of the space did not require money to acquire.
Distributing them to others seemingly caused no pain, and yet earned their gratitude!
Jiang Tang did not show favoritism towards anyone in particular.
Right now, left on his Flying Artifact were Yan Weiwei’s family, Ye Tian, and the nine women and one man who had come with him earlier.
After those people landed on the ground, he brought the Flying Artifact high into the air, where he was supposed to visit the three families’ subordinates.
However, Jiang Tang chose not to do so, avoiding public appearance as he wanted to use the two days to study advanced Formations.
You never know when you might encounter those dozen or so powerful figures again and might not be lucky enough to elude them next time.
Jiang Tang was of course afraid that his base might have been discovered and taken over by others.
This fear was unfounded, just a reflection of not being strong enough himself.
If he were stronger, there would be nothing to fear.
Jiang Tang decided to focus on making himself stronger first in order to better manage his affairs.
He left Ye Tian and Yan Weiwei to stay with their family, having time to teach these ordinary people to cultivate over the next two days, acting as their master.
Jiang Tang intended to seclude himself for two days, and the nine women and one man who came with him said they would also go into seclusion.
To facilitate more people having rooms or places to cultivate on the Flying Artifact, Jiang Tang initiated spells to partition the rooms.
When anyone needed to seclude themselves and not be disturbed, the Flying Artifact would automatically provide shielding.
They might be sitting close to each other but would not disturb one another or see each other.
Only the person controlling the Flying Artifact could have the function of choosing whether to see others or not.
Ye Tian, taking advantage of these two days, patiently explained Dao Arts to Yan Weiwei’s family, without showing any impatience.
These common folk had never been exposed to Cultivation and could hardly read any characters, presenting a certain level of difficulty in teaching them.
