374: Chapter 308 374: Chapter 308 Jiang Tang finished a meal with everyone and bid farewell to the Lai Family.
The people of the Lai Family felt reluctant to see off this Great Power Holder as they set aside their tasks to bid him goodbye at the main entrance.
It could be said that they had never seen someone with such a high cultivation level before Jiang Tang’s visit; the highest cultivation they had seen was their Elder, who had only advanced his cultivation level after consuming a Supreme Elixir.
In front of this visitor, their family Elder appeared as insignificant as an ant, which attested to this person’s strength.
It was only when they used their cultivation techniques to facilitate their breathing that they felt at ease in this person’s presence.
Jiang Tang took out a flying arrow, and everyone jumped onto the magic artifact with him.
The flying arrow shot into the sky, leaving only a trail of smoke behind as it vanished from sight with astonishing speed.
This occasion once again astounded the Lai Family members, as they had never seen such a fast flying artifact before, which moved as though it were a legendary Immortal Artifact.
After seeing off Jiang Tang, Lai Jianlin didn’t selfishly rush to cultivate but sent a message to Luo Yaxuan first, informing him, of course, that Jiang Tang had left him a jade slip with cultivation spells.
When Luo Yaxuan received the message from Lai Jianlin, he was dining and chatting with the key members of his family, naturally discussing their future development.
After joining the Saint Sect, they still needed to develop their previous industries, not to mention compete for resources, something they must strive for at any time.
They believed that joining the Saint Sect and becoming an affiliated family merely meant having a powerful backer.
The younger generation could go to the Saint Sect to become disciples and undertake missions, but the older generation and those involved in the family business would still hold their positions back home.
By joining the Saint Sect and gaining resources and Supreme Elixirs, they were simply taking bold strides forward fueled by their ambition.
Many things could not rely on others; more often, it relied on one’s own efforts, with others providing merely a form of moral support.
Whether they could become more prosperous entirely depended on their own strategy.
The members of the Luo Family also wished to become a family of the era like the Top Ten Clans—without their heritage but having a powerful backer, nothing was a problem.
Luo Yaxuan’s youthful arrogance and confidence were evident on his face.
Among the three major families, he remained an elite among elites.
To match the elites of the Top Ten Clans, he knew he had to work even harder in the days to come.
Jiang Tang was incomparable; his opportunities, his luck, one dared not underestimate him.
As Luo Yaxuan and the other family members were wrapping up their conversation, preparing to return to their courtyard to consume Supreme Elixirs and enter seclusion for cultivation, he decided not to return to Nangong Immortal Sect for the time being, having resolved to join the Saint Sect.
In the days ahead, he would undoubtedly need to make a good impression in Saint Sect.
The location of the Saint Sect had not yet been determined, and he could use this time to enrich himself.
He had left two elixirs for himself before, and this time he had purchased another one hundred, which of course, could not be distributed among every member of the family—only the elites among them, as well as those who had contributed to the family and provided resources, would have a share.
This decision disappointed some; one hundred elixirs were far from enough for their family of over a thousand members, not to mention having two types of Supreme Elixirs each.
This situation was not unique to them; the Lai Family likely faced the same issue.
With their resources, to have obtained one hundred Supreme Elixirs was a bargain already.
The resources exchanged were merely monetary wealth on the surface; their main industries remained untouched, and their foundations unshaken.
After some time, they would have resources to exchange for Supreme Elixirs again.
It was at this moment that Luo Yaxuan heard the news from Lai Jianlin and couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise, his youthful face breaking into a delighted smile.
Luo Yaxuan was having a meal with his parents and grandparents, joined only by the three Elders.
Seeing his smile, Family Head Luo asked, “Son, what happy event has occurred?”
“It must be our son’s girlfriend who has contacted him,” Madam Luo said.
“That’s right, grandson, you’re not getting any younger; it’s time to settle down and start a career,” Madam Luo remarked.
“At my age, it wouldn’t be too late to become a great-grandfather, haha,” Elder Luo said.
“Congratulations, Mr.
Luo, we’ll soon have a Young Madam,” the three Elders chimed in.
Before Luo Yaxuan could clarify, the elders began chattering amongst themselves; was he always supposed to be encircled by marital affairs at his age?
Could his smile not hold any other meaning?
Did a man have to settle down and start a family?
Luo Yaxuan hadn’t ruled out having a partner, but another person meant another concern, another division of his attention.
He believed the path of cultivation was long and that he shouldn’t tie himself to someone else.
He wasn’t interested in experiencing romantic relationships yet, not because there was anything abnormal about him.
He had his needs and desires too, just that he focused more on certain aspects.
As the Young Master of the Luo Family, he had to work several times harder than others.
How was he to bear the responsibility of an entire family?
During his recent excursion for competitions, He had seen many Great Power Holders, many of whom were young and already above the Nascent Soul stage.
In their own family, the highest was only at the Golden Core Stage, without even a single Nascent Soul among them.
In the battles of Immortal Lord City, they fought tooth and nail, yet in the grander scheme, they were mere specks.
The pride and complacency of the past were nothing more than self-consolation.
Luo Yaxuan’s thoughts were fleeting, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the elder’s remarks.
