538: Chapter 389 538: Chapter 389 Luo Yaxuan faced his junior sister with such a warm enthusiasm, adoring and pampering his innocent and romantic junior sister, he gave her flowers, and he also gave her gifts.
The gifts, of course, were jewelry.
Luo Yaxuan was a son of a prestigious and wealthy family; almost anything he casually took out could be seen as highly valuable to others.
Of course, he would not just casually give things away to just anyone.
The only women who received his gifts, besides his grandmother and mother, was this junior sister, whom he cherished.
His master’s wife was also with his junior sister, but it would be inappropriate to give his master’s wife gifts, fearing that his master might get jealous.
However, giving gifts to his master, who could then offer them to his master’s wife as a respectful gesture, would make the master’s wife happy!
Since arriving here, every day for Luo Yaxuan was fulfilling.
Apart from working with the junior sister’s family, he spent the rest of his time in romantic endeavors, listening to Jiang Tang’s lectures.
Having previously received cultivation techniques and spells as gifts from Jiang Tang, he had benefited greatly, but his abilities were not yet strong enough; there was still room for significant improvement.
In the past few days, listening to Jiang Tang’s lectures, he felt that his understanding of the cultivation techniques and spells Jiang Tang had given him was not powerful enough, not profound enough, and there were still some weaknesses.
After the lectures, he reflected on his own cultivation techniques and spells and realized there were deficiencies in his practice.
So, as their abilities all improved, they had to learn even more potent cultivation techniques and spells, which meant they needed a deeper understanding of the methods.
Luo Yaxuan touched Liu Jiaojiao’s hair and inhaled the fragrance of the young girl, thinking he would be very devoted in this lifetime.
Luo Yaxuan could not be sure if he would always be devoted, but one thing he was sure of was that he liked his junior sister.
She was still young now; who knew, when she grew up a bit more, he might feel he wasn’t the one for her.
He wasn’t sure if he would choose to let go, but he would still wish his junior sister happiness.
Bi Renchuan stood beside Fan Dingding, feeling that for them, the so-called “single dogs,” maybe there was a perk to not having a woman by their side—no worries!
Bi Renchuan overlooked one thing: usually, when seeing others paired up, he could only drink with Fan Dingding, comforting each other in their solitude.
They were actually quite handsome; it was just that they didn’t fancy anyone else.
The three women they had saved last time seemed to have noticed their positive qualities; the girls were indecisive, but always invited the two of them to eat together.
However, Bi Renchuan was not very willing to join them; he didn’t have high regard for those girls; their cultivation was weak, and importantly, through several interactions, he always felt their characters were lacking.
As for why he felt this way, it wasn’t entirely because of the woman who had been captured.
The women didn’t care about her and fled with him.
He felt their eyes always carried greed; a common female cultivator, why should they look down on other female or male cultivators?
If they had discovered his strengths now, that still wasn’t his cup of tea.
He believed his true love had not yet arrived.
Among the several hundred people who came here, there were other family’s female cultivators, but their focus was only on cultivation and construction; they did not pay attention to them.
That’s the way people from large families are, different from ordinary people; they view more significant interests, not short-sighted, just for the moment!
Bi Renchuan and Fan Dingding spent more time drinking and eating together, always inseparable like brothers.
It couldn’t be helped.
Here came hundreds of people and their friends from various families.
Many people were cliquish; those three family members might know each other well, having perhaps recognized each other from before, but there had been competition among the families, which still existed secretly now.
Even though they seemed very united here, they were actually competing to win prizes, to gain more resources; why would they bother with them?
Caught in the midst of so many gazes, Jiang Tang only felt helpless amidst the disrupted romance but was not annoyed.
Helplessness meant not having much personal space, no way to pause time—always busy with lecturing and business, with beautiful women for company, but no more personal space for a passionate love life.
However, with their presence, the questions asked by those women earlier conveniently diverted the topic, sparing him from having to answer which one he loved or when he was going to marry them!
Unable to give them a definitive answer, he would continue to drag on.
In a sigh of relief, Jiang Tang believed that as affection deepens, it’s natural to come together, and everyone would find a partner.
However, with so many interests intertwined, he wasn’t just dealing with a woman, which was the problem giving him a headache.
When unloved, perhaps what he desired was for a beautiful and adorable woman to fall in love with him, but when more than one woman took a liking to him and claimed to love him, he found it difficult to choose, especially when they said they were willing to share him.
Truth be told, as a man, he was experiencing this sense of vanity for the first time.
Outwardly, he seemed helpless and troubled, but like most men, he was secretly delighted in the envious glances of others.
He absolutely reveled in the entire process of being adored by beautiful women, without a shred of rejection!
Jiang Tang admitted he was fickle-hearted, and in the entire Cultivation World, none could be like him.
Perhaps there were capable men with one or two wives or multiple partners, but those were ordinary family men.
The women around him were from nine out of the ten great families—each one a cherished daughter!
A man of low status like him—if it weren’t for his fortuitous rise in cultivation and the numerous Magical Treasures he possessed—would never have the credentials to accept the love of these women.
In the ensuing time, Jiang Tang, along with hundreds of people, came to a flat plaza to teach in the darkness of night.
He shared some of the insights into the cultivation techniques he had realized with these hundreds of people.
Jiang Tang’s rapid advancement in cultivation wasn’t solely due to his intelligence; rather, it was the consumption of items from the Spirit Field Space that transformed his physique.
Then, after a brush with disaster, he gradually forged a stronger constitution.
He enhanced his alchemy skills and absorbed energy from the sun and the moon.
Moreover, he obtained an exceptional cultivation technique and used his hands to perform the Star-absorbing Spell.
In all the places he stayed, he restrained himself with spells, refraining from naturally absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy with his hands.
There was no helping it—in the vicinity of hundreds of miles, there were only their group of a few hundred people.
If he didn’t limit his abilities, he might end up absorbing the power of his subordinates completely.
He might as well go play in the Hell Palace instead!
The reason he collected the monkey’s body and soul without taking care of them wasn’t to reserve energy for himself for some future use.
If he wanted to advance more rapidly at that moment, he wouldn’t have restrained his own abilities; the energy of the sun and the moon in his body’s space and the Supreme Treasure Lingtian Space was sufficient for absorption.
The last time those frenzied rats were taken into the Hell Palace, the Artifact Spirit pulverized them into dust and ashes and buried them in the soil of the space.
Furthermore, it sprinkled the water of the Vitality Flower on the soil of the space for disinfection and detoxification.
Jiang Tang knew there were two enemies in the Hell Palace, but he didn’t bother to deal with them, feeling that evildoers don’t require his punishment and will naturally be punished by heaven or by others.
As long as they couldn’t leave the Hell Palace, whatever havoc they wreaked inside was within his control.
After all, as a person in the Great Power Mahayana Phase, his teachings helped others gain a lot of insight.
Besides instructing them in cultivation, he also taught them various skills.
For example, his alchemy skills.
Among the few hundred people who came here, some had a rudimentary understanding of alchemy, and some were proficient in it, yet they benefited greatly from the alchemy spells he imparted.
Improving alchemy skills is another capability cultivators can develop aside from cultivation itself.
How could a family or any individual lack other skills?
Many people seek to learn additional skills by all means, hoping to exchange their expertise for resources necessary for cultivation.
They also hope to exchange the products of their skills for other required items.
An individual who has yet to transcend mortality, regardless of how high their realm of cultivation is, does not merely rely on consuming pills to pass their days.
They also need to live, but living often requires money.
Even if the family provides for them, support is only given if they are considered elite.
