Chapter 208 - 208 198

208: Chapter 198 208: Chapter 198 Jiang Tang nodded in agreement to what Yan Weiwei had said, and an idea formed in his heart.

Serving as a nominal Elder in the Immortal Sect, free from the burden of menial tasks, was something he could accept.

He then shared his inner thoughts with Yan Weiwei, who was accompanying him:

“Sister, I can’t believe that our generation cannot achieve ascension.

As long as we work hard, we will surely succeed.

That’s why I am searching for this opportunity.

I cannot stay in the Immortal Sect forever.”

“Indeed, Junior Brother, you are correct.

We must also strive to grow stronger,” Yan Weiwei agreed with what Jiang Tang was saying.

With his superior pills and her strong desire to become more powerful, it definitely wouldn’t be as difficult as before.

Jiang Tang faced Yan Weiwei and didn’t dare to reveal the matter of the space or his parents’ situation to her, as speaking about it to another person would only increase the risk.

It was not that he didn’t trust Yan Weiwei but rather that his parents’ affair was of utmost importance.

With so many family souls at stake, if others learned about it, they might target him as a devil to be eliminated.

Having died once before, Jiang Tang was no longer the fool who would brag about everything.

To preserve his own strength, he certainly couldn’t reveal all his skills to others.

Since arriving in Immortal Venerable City these past few days, he dared not practice the Star-absorbing Spell within the city, fearing that any stir might alert others.

He believed that more Great Power Holders were paying attention to Immortal Venerable City.

The Star-absorbing Spell, being such a domineering cultivation technique, would cause others to see him as a devil to be eliminated if they found out about it, and there would also be those with ill intentions who might try to seize it.

Jiang Tang did not believe he had reached the peak of his capabilities.

In the Cultivation World, he hadn’t seen any of the Great Power Holders who were in seclusion.

They had arrived at the North City Immortal Sect to join the competition and were staying at a temporary residence.

From the moment he entered the door, there were people who came to watch him, as if he were a rare spectacle.

Jiang Tang sensed that the Senior Brothers, once beyond his reach, could now or in the future possibly become his Junior Brothers.

In the Cultivation World, strength was everything.

Regardless of how long you had been a member, if your cultivation was higher than others’, you could become an Elder or even hold a more advanced position.

Others would also respect you, addressing you as Senior Brother, Elder, or even Peak Master.

Jiang Tang even felt that these Senior Brothers were treating it like watching a monkey show, and he was like a monkey being watched.

“Jiang Tang?

Weren’t you that very arrogant Servant Disciple before?

How come your cultivation is so high now?

And you can refine such good pills?

Dead and then revived?”

“Is your luck simply too good?

Is this the result of virtues accumulated in a past life, or do you have some unspeakable secret?

Are you faking your identity, or was your cultivation always that high?

Hiding in our Immortal Sect, are you playing us now, right?”

“Hey, Jiang Tang, I’ve seen you before, and I thought you were so arrogant when those people were chasing you.

I didn’t expect you to still be that arrogant and to have become so powerful in cultivation.

Just what level is your cultivation?

We can’t even see through it.”

The people chirped and chattered, with many being disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In the past, Jiang Tang only had the cultivation of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Facing those at the Foundation Establishment Stage was like looking up at the unreachable and not to mention conversing with them.

Now that he had reached the Ocean Wheel, seeing those Senior Brothers three steps lower than him, he did not have the admiring gaze of the old days but wore a look of indifference.

“In the past, you all were my Senior Brothers, and my cultivation is indeed real.

Just as I said that day, it was after a disaster that I encountered a fortuitous opportunity which improved my cultivation.

I came back this time at the behest of an Elder to discuss some matters.”

“Jiang Tang, you haven’t mentioned your cultivation yet.

I heard your pills are selling for a lot.

Could you, considering our connection as fellow disciples, offer us some?

We’ll buy them with our own money.”

“Senior Brothers, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

As the herbs are quite expensive, I have to conduct business and can’t sell to you at a low price, only to auction them to others later.

As long as the immortals provide the herbs, I would consider refining pills for the Immortal Sect, but even that requires a certain quantity.

I can’t be refining pills all the time instead of cultivating myself.”

Jiang Tang did not compromise.

If it had been before, those people might have grumbled, but facing him, who had a much higher cultivation, they dared not express their anger and could only think about it in their hearts.

“Don’t make a racket outside, let Jiang Tang come in,” the voice of an elder came from the meeting hall.

The disciples had to clear a path, some reluctantly watching Jiang Tang’s back as he went in.

Jiang Tang entered, leaving Yan Weiwei behind.

She had wanted to return to her room, but a clever person stopped her.

“Yan Weiwei, impressive.

I never thought a former servant disciple, now you can enhance your cultivation through him.

Can you tell us, how many Pills did Jiang Tang give you?”

“This senior brother, he only gave me one.

I heard that anyone who bought a Vitality Pill and ate it had their cultivation increase.

I am one of those people.”

Yan Weiwei had already become a Golden Core, and in a moment she couldn’t change her way of speaking, and she had not yet obtained the Golden Core Elder’s token from the Law Enforcement Elder.

“Really?

No wonder I can’t perceive your cultivation.

So you’ve already entered the Golden Core Stage.

Elder Yan Weiwei, you’re too amazing.

Can you ask Elder Jiang Tang to sell me a cultivation-increasing pill?”

“Senior brother, this is something that the Immortal Sect will have to discuss with Jiang Tang.

If necessary, he would do so, just as he said earlier.

If the Immortal Sect can provide the herbs, he is willing to help with the alchemy.

But if it’s his own possessions, definitely not.”

“I’m saying sell it cheaper, I didn’t say I wouldn’t pay.”

Yan Weiwei could only shake her head.

She still had Pills, but didn’t dare say so, fearing more ‘wolves’ would come asking her for them, seeing their wolf-like expressions.

Some people were surrounding Yan Weiwei, and some were waiting at the entrance to the meeting hall.

Jiang Tang entered the meeting hall, where an elder was sitting in the central seat, with four elders on each side.

When Jiang Tang walked in, everyone looked at him.

The Golden Core Elders couldn’t even clearly perceive his cultivation level.

The elder sitting in the main seat was somewhat restless.

As the person in charge, his cultivation was not higher than that of the disciple; he appeared barely able to hold his position.

“Jiang Tang, please tell us about your cultivation.

The highest here are the Golden Core Elders, so we’re only able to offer little, but once you return to the Immortal Sect, you will be our leader.”

“Ocean Wheel, first layer.”

“What?

Ocean Wheel?” Everyone showed a horrified and surprised expression.

Their lips trembled a little, in disbelief.

“Uh-huh.”

“According to the records, your previous cultivation was at the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Stage, if the data isn’t wrong, and you have Mixed Spiritual Roots,” the main elder articulated everyone’s doubts.

“I’ve explained it time and time again, and I believe people from the Immortal Sect thought I was dead.

It was that time, during the Liusha Sea City oasis training, when I was attacked for my treasures and thrown deep underground.

When I awoke, I found myself in another space, filled with Spirit Flower Exotic Grass, and even more dangerous were the demonic beasts and ghost cultivators.

It was not easy for me to survive, facing them, I had to keep getting stronger,” said Jiang Tang, mixing truth with lies.
