The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

13: Chapter 13 Cave Mansion”How about this: you serve my Family for 100 years. After that, you are free to stay or leave as you please.”

Jiang Chen stated his requirement.

”I agree.”

However, Ling Xuanye’s response was even more decisive. Currently, the situation was beyond his control, and both of these men were in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Joining a Family with two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators was much better than being alone.

Hearing Ling Xuanye agree so readily, Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. He had thought the other party would take the opportunity to make some demands.

But since he had agreed, it was time to deal with the Savage Boar Ox in front of them.

Watching the Savage Boar Ox draw closer, Jiang Chen didn’t wait for Jiang Suhai to act. He flicked a finger, and a bolt of spiritual power flew out, sinking into the Savage Boar Ox’s skull with lightning speed.

The Savage Boar Ox, which had been charging toward the three, suddenly froze before crashing down. A hole the size of two fingers appeared in its skull, with a trickle of red blood flowing down.

It turned out that Jiang Chen’s finger had pierced straight through the Savage Boar Ox’s skull, completely shredding everything inside.

Seeing the Savage Boar Ox killed by a single finger from Jiang Chen, Ling Xuanye was momentarily dazed. Was this the same Wild Beast that had been hunting him? How could it not even survive a single finger from this young man!

Jiang Suhai was also quite surprised. Although he knew his grandson had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining and should be able to handle this Wild Beast, he hadn’t expected it to be so effortless.

”Alright, let’s go.”

Jiang Chen spoke nonchalantly, casually putting the Wild Beast into his Storage Pouch before flying forward.

A Wild Beast at the eighth level of Qi Refining was still a treasure. Bringing it back for the Clan Members to consume would help them achieve a Breakthrough in their cultivation levels faster.

As Jiang Chen left, Jiang Suhai grabbed Ling Xuanye and chased after him.

Near evening, the two finally returned to the Ancestral Land.

At this moment, all the Jiang Family Clansmen were working fervently. At the highest point, the outline of the Ancestral Land had appeared, and some residences had already been built.

Below the Ancestral Land, five Immortal Caves had been carved into the mountain wall, with rocks and soil being thrown out from time to time.

”Clan Chief.”

”Clan Chief.”

”Greetings, Clan Chief.”

...Seeing Jiang Chen return, the Clan Members bowed one after another, filled with joy.

Being able to find the Ancestral Land so quickly this time was all thanks to the Clan Chief.

”Alright, get back to work. Grand Elder, come with me.”

Immediately, all the Clan Members resumed their work, while the Grand Elder followed Jiang Chen to the side.

”Here are the Spiritual Materials needed for construction. Distribute them as you see fit.”

After saying this, Jiang Chen handed him a Storage Pouch.

”Understood, Clan Chief. Oh, by the way, your courtyard is finished. I’ll take you to see it.”

Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting took the Storage Pouch, speaking as he swept his Divine Sense inside.

”*Hiss*, so many.”

Seeing the Spiritual Materials inside the Storage Pouch, Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at Jiang Chen as if he were a monster.

He didn’t know how Jiang Chen had obtained so many Spiritual Materials. He had thought it would be good if Jiang Chen could bring back a few tens of thousands of units.

But these materials in the Storage Pouch were worth at least three to four hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. However, he didn’t plan to ask; after all, the other was the Clan Chief, and he was just an Elder.

”Let’s go take a look.”

Jiang Chen spoke. He had been away from Tianlin City for several days, sleeping in the open. Having his own courtyard would be much better.

”Yes, Clan Chief. Follow me.”

Jiang Xuanting led the way, and Jiang Chen followed him toward the east.

Several neatly constructed courtyards came into view. Jiang Xuanting led Jiang Chen toward the largest one.

Entering the courtyard, the furnishings were neatly arranged. There was a pool of water in the yard, with a small stream trickling into it.

This made him even more satisfied with the Grand Elder. It seemed that if he got a foundation establishment pill in the future, he could give it to the Grand Elder first.

There were as many as six or seven rooms, which were more than enough for him. Thinking of this, he felt he could bring his parents and sister over to live together.

Before, he had no way, but now he had the System. Even if his parents were ordinary people, he could pile up resources to push them up and extend their Lifespan.

”Old Patriarch.”

Just then, Jiang Suhai arrived with Ling Xuanye.

”This kid just arrived. Arrange a place for him to stay first.”

Jiang Suhai pointed at Ling Xuanye and spoke to Jiang Xuanting.

”Understood.”

Jiang Xuanting finished speaking and left with Ling Xuanye.

”Grandfather, please sit.”

Jiang Chen stepped forward and sat down with Jiang Suhai at a square table in the courtyard.

”The construction of our Jiang Family Territory is almost done; it’ll be finished in two or three days. Are you sure there’s a Spiritual Vein down there?”

Jiang Suhai looked at Jiang Chen and asked solemnly.

Although they had discovered many Spirit Medicines on the mountain yesterday, indicating a high probability of a Spiritual Vein, what if?

One must know that Spirit Medicines don’t necessarily grow where there is a Spiritual Vein; as long as they absorb enough Spiritual Qi, they can become Spirit Medicines.

So-called 100-year or 300-year Spirit Medicines are judged by the amount of spiritual power they contain.

In places with thin Spiritual Qi, it might take three to six hundred years to grow into a 300-year Spirit Medicine, but in places with abundant Spiritual Qi, it might only take a few decades.

The main thing was that he had inspected this mountain before and hadn’t found any possibility of a Spiritual Vein.

”Don’t worry, Grandfather. Trust me.”

Jiang Chen said with certainty.

Seeing Jiang Chen so certain, Jiang Suhai could only believe him for now. If there wasn’t one, then building the Ancestral Land would be a waste of effort. By then... thinking of this, Jiang Suhai didn’t know what to say. If there really was a Spiritual Vein, fine, but if not, Jiang Chen might not be able to keep his position as Clan Chief.

”Clan Chief! Clan Chief!”

Just then, a shout came from the entrance, and soon, Second Elder Jiang Liejun appeared before them.

”What’s wrong?”

Jiang Chen asked, looking at the Second Elder.

At this moment, the Second Elder was covered in dust from head to toe, making Jiang Chen frown.

”Can’t you use your spiritual power to clean the dust off yourself?”

”Right away, right away. I forgot.”

Jiang Liejun said with a sheepish smile as Spiritual Qi surged through him. Soon, not a single speck of dust could be seen on him.

”Second Elder, what is it?”

Jiang Chen asked.

”Clan Chief, it’s like this: the Immortal Caves have been dug. Take a look—how should we draw the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Vein up?”

Jiang Liejun stated his purpose directly. Since the Immortal Caves were built, they should guide the Spiritual Qi up as soon as possible; otherwise, what kind of Immortal Cave is it without Spiritual Qi?

”Let’s go take a look together.”

Hearing Jiang Liejun say this, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and decided to go see. The three left the courtyard and walked down a small path.

Before long, they arrived at an Immortal Cave. It was already clean inside, with very simple furnishings: a stone table and a stone bed.

”Clan Chief, how do you think we should proceed?”

Actually, the best way would be to dig a tunnel directly from the Immortal Cave deep into the Spiritual Vein; that would yield the best results.

But the problem was that this was a fifth-tier spirit vein. Digging through would expose it, unless the Jiang Family didn’t plan on leaving and intended to stay here to Cultivate until someone reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.
