248: Chapter 215 248: Chapter 215 Hua Xianâer finally asked the question everyone in the family wanted to know, saying:
âJiang Tang, how are you able to refine Supreme Elixir?
And how did you obtain the Alchemy Prescription for the Supreme Elixir?â
âThis was a fortunate encounter of mine, a secret for now.
As for my previous abilities, your brother Hua Sheng has competed with me before; he knows what I am capable of.
I didnât have the alchemy skills I have now, but I wasnât weak either.
Perhaps itâs because my cultivation has increased, giving me more ability to control alchemy skills, that Iâve been able to improve my alchemy techniques.
This might just be based on individual ability!
Actually, I wouldnât say Iâve gotten hold of a Supreme Alchemy Prescription, but the pills I refine now are ones Iâve come across by chance.â
As she looked at Jiang Tang speaking with such confidence, Hua Xianâerâs adoring eyes became even warmer.
In her questioning, Jiang Tangâs answers were vague yet filled with confidence, perhaps he had his own secrets, secrets from an extraordinary adventure.
She longed to explore this mystery, but when Jiang Tang didnât want to share, her mouth twitched but she couldnât bring herself to utter the words to press someone into revealing their secrets.
The other girls, initially sent by the family to invite Jiang Tang, had only heard of this personâs extraordinary ability to refine Supreme Elixirs and his high level of cultivation, heights they dared not even contemplate.
They started out disbelieving that such a powerful person could exist, someone who in such a short time had attained such high levels of cultivation; they thought they were listening to someoneâs exaggerations.
When the family sent them out, there was another purpose: to have her, as a woman, become Jiang Tangâs girlfriend and invite him to their clan, where all the daughters of large families are so proud.
They wished for a man stronger than themselves, yet also handsome and dashingâdefinitely not ugly.
Before meeting him, who would know if that person possessed such martial strength?
What did it matter if he was powerful in pill refining if he was unpleasant to look at, which would be a drawback?
Guided by Hua Xianâer, Jiang Tang arrived above the Medicine Sectâs residence and descended from high above.
The closer they got to the ground, the clearer it became: the location of the Medicine Sect was amidst many fields, you could say an array of constructions filled with medicinal garden spaces.
All disciples of the Medicine Sect must learn to refine pills, and even if they are untalented, they must also know how to farm, cultivating Spirit Grass, selling medication in their family shops.
As the flying arrow descended, Hua Xianâer saw Jiang Tang curiously looking at their familyâs many herb gardens, and she felt a sense of pride, presuming that Jiang Tang had never seen such a vast Spirit Herb Garden before!
It was said that Jiang Tang, while at the North City Immortal Sect, was just a Servant Disciple tasked with cultivating Spirit Grass.
Hua Xianâerâs proud gaze made the other girls smile lightly; which large family didnât have its own foundations?
As the flying arrow descended to the ground, Jiang Tang shrank it and put it away.
With one man and so many women, Hua Xianâer entered the familyâs main gate; they had the Family Headâs orders to let them pass, and also sent out a message to the clan, which of course mentioned not only that Jiang Tang had come but also brought back many women.
Hua Xianâer directly led the group to their familyâs guest hall, which was naturally a place to receive important guests.
She initially intended to take Jiang Tang aside in there alone, but the other women pointed out that it was not any sort of secret within their family, right?
Everyone had the same idea; the next stop might just as well be their own clans, where they would also be received in this manner.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Mengting added, âDidnât you, Hua Xianâer, just meet the host in our familyâs guest hall?
When Jiang Tang was there, didnât you likewise take him away?
Did I say anything?â
Hua Xianâer brought the people into the clanâs guest hall, where their Family Head was present, as well as their Elder, and the elite of the Medicine Sect, Hua Sheng, was also there.
Hua Sheng was waiting on purpose today, keen to meet Jiang Tang and spar with him once again.
Knowing his abilities were not sufficient, he was willing to be a student and learn from this master of Supreme Alchemy.
The clanâs Elder and Family Head were particularly interested in letting Hua Sheng stay; itâs easier for young people to talk and become friends.
After introductions by Hua Xianâer, Jiang Tang met the Family Head and Elders, exchanged a few words with Hua Sheng, and then they sat down on the chairs to the side.
The Medicine Sectâs Family Head exchanged pleasantries and then got down to business, saying their alchemy techniques were not up to par and asking if Jiang Tang could possibly teach themâcould they exchange some Spirit Grass for a bit of Supreme Elixir?
Throughout the family and Eldersâ discussion, Jiang Tang agreed to teach them, but noted he was short on time, with so many womenâs clans yet to visit.
He couldnât stay in one place for too long as he had other matters to attend to; as for exchanging his Supreme Elixir with Spirit Grass, that was possible as long as the value of their Spirit Grass was high enough.
The Medicine Sectâs Family Head also requested that Jiang Tang demonstrate refining a batch of Supreme Elixir in front of them.
Jiang Tang fell silent for a moment, then agreed to this request and mentioned that he did not require any fire to make his pills, as he used his own Spiritual Fire.
His words stirred curiosity among those in the hallâwas it possible that Jiang Tang had his own Spiritual Fire, which made his alchemy so proficient, akin to giving wings to a tiger?
If one had Spiritual Fire to aid the process, the resulting pills would indeed be superior to those made with other fires.
And if there were a better Cauldron involved, then here lied the secret to Jiang Tangâs success, prompting everyone to wonder how he could agree to reveal it; werenât they afraid of others coveting his treasure?
Ever since the word got out about Jiang Tangâs fortunate encounters and his ability to refine Supreme Elixirs, he had become shrouded in secrets.
Yet, Jiang Tang did not request to go elsewhere to demonstrate his abilities.
