310: Chapter 246 310: Chapter 246 The two disciples guarding the gate both looked at Jiang Tang, with one of them saying,
“Elder Jiang Tang?
You used to be a servant disciple?
Now you’ve become a role model for all of us, everyone envying and jealous that you could become an elder overnight.”
The other one glanced at Jiang Tang, noting his skin that was even better than a woman’s, and with the beautiful Yan Weiwei by his side, one could feel that even a girl’s skin was no match for his, like that of a true pretty boy.
“Elder Jiang Tang, how did your skin become even better than a woman’s?
Did you eat the Beauty Preserving Elixir?”
Smiling, Jiang Tang replied, “The Beauty Preserving Elixir is something women play with.
Although I can refine it, I wouldn’t waste my time on such a common pill.
As for how my skin got so good?
I, too, would like to know.
Maybe it’s because my cultivation is high that my skin is good!”
The two guardians nodded.
It really is incomprehensible when you compare people to one another.
Yan Weiwei also followed up, “Don’t say you guys want to know why her skin is so good, even as a woman, I want to know too.”
“Hahaha, Sister Weiwei is joking.”
Jiang Tang only entered the main gate of the mountain.
When they climbed the steps and reached the mid-mountain Alchemy Hall,
Jiang Tang showed his medallion to the guard for another look.
The guard saw his medallion and bowed respectfully, saying,
“We welcome the elder’s return.”
“Hmm, I am here on the orders of the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader.
May I know where your Peak Master is at?
Should I meet him first?”
“Elder, the Peak Master said that once you arrive here, we should first arrange your accommodation.
After you’ve settled in, you can then report to the Alchemy Hall.”
“Oh, I’m not planning to stay here long-term, just arrange any lodging for me.”
“How can that be?
We’ve already arranged a place for you.
Please follow me.”
These two disciples weren’t as enthusiastic as those guarding the mountain-top; one stood there arrogantly without speaking.
Perhaps under orders from superiors, the other had to complete his mission, chatting with Jiang Tang and leading him to his accommodations.
Jiang Tang had thought these people would value him highly for rushing to the Immortal Sect, and he anticipated being urgently called upon to help refine pills or teach disciples alchemy.
Seeing such cold treatment from the gatekeeper disciples, Jiang Tang figured someone within the Alchemy Hall held dissatisfaction towards him, or perhaps they didn’t want him interfering with the Alchemy Hall matters.
But Jiang Tang didn’t care and followed the disciple towards the direction of the mountain peak, stopping at a yard built on top of it.
“Elder Jiang Tang, this is your residence.
If the Alchemy Hall needs you, they will come to find you.
If there’s nothing needed from you, you don’t have to visit the Alchemy Hall.”
“Alright, that works for me.
After all, I’m just a nominal elder, but I won’t be staying long either.
I’ll leave in three to five days at most.
During these three to five days, if there’s anything, you can come to me.
After that, I’ll leave on my own.
It might be difficult to get me to come here in the future.”
“Elder Jiang Tang, I will convey your words to the superiors.
There are servant disciples in the courtyard.
You can order them around if you need anything done.
And you’re also allowed to have direct disciples.
It’s up to you how to arrange that.”
“For now, I don’t need anything else.
There’s no need for others to do anything for me.”
The guardian nodded and left upon hearing this.
Jiang Tang walked into the yard, which was a rather lavish one with flowers, plants, trees, and four or five rooms.
“Jiang Tang, what do they mean by this?”
Yan Weiwei had been silent all this while, sensing something was amiss.
“Heh, I understand their feelings.
Some think I, as a newly parachuted elder, would take their positions.
No matter, I won’t be staying here long anyway; I’m just a titular elder after all.”
Previously a servant disciple at the North City Immortal Sect, Jiang Tang had transformed into an elder overnight.
Perhaps there were those who wished to become elders but couldn’t, and his sudden elevation might have provoked their taboo.
“Won’t the Sect Leader say something about them doing this?”
“Let it be.
I just considered this to be my former Immortal Sect and wanted to do something for them.
If someone doesn’t want me to do so, then I can only say it’s a pity.”
“Such a shame!”
“No matter, you’ve seen my place.
Now show me to your accommodation!” Jiang Tang didn’t want to enter the rooms.
“Hmm…”
They descended the mountain and headed towards the Artifact Refining Peak.
While the people there didn’t recognize Jiang Tang, they did know Yan Weiwei.
This direct disciple of the Artifact Refining Peak had become the disciple of a Peak Master in that one competition.
“Sister Weiwei is back?”
“Junior Sister Weiwei, you’re back?”
Yan Weiwei nodded to these ever-enthusiastic body-refining men.
The men noticed Jiang Tang, and upon seeing the pretty-boy appearance of this man, their expressions were wary and unwelcoming.
If it weren’t for Jiang Tang’s higher cultivation, some might even have challenged him.
Jiang Tang saw a group of bare-chested men cultivating on the training field.
He glanced at Yan Weiwei again.
Among these people, wouldn’t it be a bit awkward for her as a senior sister?
Were all the men in Artifact Refining this rough?
If they dressed like this while refining artifacts, even she felt it was improper amidst their group.
Jiang Tang thought of Ye Tian, the only handsome man from Artifact Refining Peak, and by the look in Yan Weiwei’s eyes, it was clear that she fancied Brother Ye.
Amidst the calls of her fellow brothers, Yan Weiwei entered her abode; in fact, she had also felt embarrassed just moments before.
