The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

16: Chapter 16 Redistributing PillsSensing Jiang Chen’s cultivation, Jiang Suhai realized it hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet Jiang Chen claimed to have had a Breakthrough. This... thinking of this, Jiang Suhai didn’t quite know how to speak.

The Tenth Level of Qi Refining is the Great Perfection, the limit of Qi Refining. If he can still Breakthrough now without reaching Foundation Establishment, could there be an eleventh or twelfth layer?

How could that be possible!

At this moment, Ling Xuanye’s gaze toward Jiang Chen was also a bit strange. He had originally thought Jiang Chen was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but today he learned that this Clan Chief was actually still in the Qi Refining Realm.

Being able to fly while still in the Qi Refining Realm gave him quite a shock; it was terrifying.

“Grand Elder, make the arrangements. From now on, our clan grounds will be built using azure wood. The remaining mysterious iron wood will be saved for building the market,”

Jiang Chen ordered directly.

He had originally wanted to keep a low profile for a while, but the state of the housing wouldn’t allow it. Since that was the case, he would use the better azure wood to build the clan grounds to save the trouble of replacing it later.

In any case, it seemed his Breakthrough speed would be very fast, and with the System’s help, more and more Clan Members would Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in the future. Before long, houses built of mysterious iron wood would eventually be unable to withstand the pressure.

As for using even better materials—wealth should not be flaunted. It’s never good to be targeted by others.

“Understood, Clan Chief.”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s instructions, the Grand Elder hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Regardless, these Spiritual Materials were obtained by the Clan Chief himself; he would do whatever the Clan Chief said.

He quickly halted the ongoing construction. Those already built were left alone, but everything planned for construction was switched to azure wood.

Soon, the Grand Elder returned and approached Jiang Chen.

“Clan Chief, although azure wood is indeed better, our Clan Members’ cultivation is too low. The construction speed simply can’t keep up.”

The Grand Elder said to Jiang Chen.

“Distribute these Medicinal Pills and raise their cultivation levels first.”

Jiang Chen casually handed him two porcelain bottles.

“One contains 100 mirror-breaking pills; give one to each Elder. In the future, anyone who Breakthroughs to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer can receive one. The other bottle contains yellow dragon pills—there are only about thirty. You decide how to handle them.”

“Also, here is a Cultivation Technique. Have someone transcribe copies; all Clan Members will Cultivate this technique from now on.”

After speaking, Jiang Chen casually tossed the Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art to the Grand Elder.

“And don’t disturb me unless it’s important.”

Jiang Chen turned and left after finishing his instructions.

Watching Jiang Chen leave, everyone stood dazed for a moment. Soon, everyone’s eyes burned with heat as they looked at the items in the Grand Elder’s hands.

Medicinal Pills and a Cultivation Technique—this was too powerful.

They didn’t have a feel for the mirror-breaking pills yet, but the yellow dragon pills were genuine treasures. Just yesterday, every one of them had broken through at least one Realm.

“Alright, you all heard the Clan Chief’s words. Each Elder gets one. As for the yellow dragon pills, there are only dozens, so we can’t give one to everyone. Those who don’t receive one should not hold a grudge; everything is for the Family. Do you hear me!”

“For the Family.”

“For the Family.”

...Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, they all calmed down. Yes, all of this was brought to them by the Clan Chief. Without the Clan Chief, they couldn’t have broken through a Realm so quickly.

The Clan Chief had done so much for them; what reason did they have for resentment?

To gain is my luck, to lose is my fate. So what if there are no pills? One can still Breakthrough without them. My fate is determined by me, not by heaven.

Soon, several Elders each received one. Then it was the yellow dragon pills: the three at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining each got one, the remaining fifth-layer Clan Members each got one, and only a dozen or so of those at the fourth layer received them.

At this point, two pills remained in the Grand Elder’s hand.

“Jiang Feng, Jiang Xueqin, come here.”

Soon, two children around eleven or twelve years old stepped forward.

“Grandfather.”

“Grand Elder.”

The two bowed respectfully.

Indeed, Jiang Feng was the Grand Elder’s grandson. He hadn’t expected his grandson to be so talented.

Last time, he had used a single yellow dragon pill to Breakthrough directly from the first layer to the third layer of Qi Refining.

This time, he recommended the worthy without avoiding his kin. Since his grandson had this talent, giving some special treatment was appropriate. Moreover, based on his previous performance, giving him another yellow dragon pill this time wasn’t a violation of the rules.

“Keep these two yellow dragon pills safe and Breakthrough to the fourth layer of Qi Refining as soon as possible.”

After saying this, the Grand Elder handed each of them a yellow dragon pill.

“Thank you, Grandfather.”

“Thank you, Grand Elder.”

Seeing the yellow dragon pills in their hands, the two children were instantly excited, vowing to Cultivate hard and become useful people for the Family.

These two were precisely the young Geniuses who had used the yellow dragon pills to Breakthrough two layers directly the night before last.

Having discovered such good prospects, and with one of them being his own grandson, the Grand Elder naturally did not skimp on nurturing them.

Seeing the two children each receive a yellow dragon pill, everyone showed expressions of envy.

“You few, follow me. The others, Cultivate first.”

The Grand Elder pointed to the dozen or so Clan Members who hadn’t received pills and walked into a courtyard.

“Each of you transcribe two copies of this Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art. From now on, our Clan Members will all Cultivate this technique.”

After speaking, the Grand Elder took out the Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art and handed it to the group.

On the way over, he had taken a glance; it was actually a Profound Rank technique. One must know that the Qi Induction Art they used to Cultivate was only a Yellow Rank Low Grade technique, which at most increased cultivation speed by nine times.

After handing the technique to them, the Grand Elder left the courtyard and returned to his own to consume a mirror-breaking pill.

On the other side, the Clan Members who received pills sat down to Cultivate without a word, striving for an early Breakthrough.

Seeing the Jiang Family Clansmen sitting and Cultivating one by one, it was impossible for Ling Xuanye not to be envious. He also longed for a mirror-breaking pill, but unfortunately, he was not a member of the Jiang Family.

He soon thought that if he helped the Jiang Family refine more pills in the future and integrated with them as quickly as possible, he might be able to get one then.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly full of energy. No longer watching the Jiang Family Clansmen Cultivate, he turned and left, returning to his own courtyard.

Jiang Chen came to the cliff, looking down at the open space halfway down the mountain, then looked at the bottomless darkness at the very base.

This was his Jiang Family’s clan ground, the first step in the Jiang Family’s rise.

When the market halfway down the mountain opened and another city was built at the foot of the mountain, it would be perfect.

When night fell and the lights of ten thousand homes were lit, standing here and looking out again, perhaps things would be different.

“What are you thinking about?”

Jiang Suhai appeared behind him.

“Grandfather.”

Seeing Jiang Suhai appear, Jiang Chen bowed.

“You deserve the most credit for the Jiang Family being able to find this clan ground so quickly. The Grand Elder is steady but lacks initiative. The Second Elder has the drive but is too impulsive. The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Elders are all much the same. In the future, the Jiang Family will still have to rely on you.”

Jiang Suhai said seriously to Jiang Chen.

“I will.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

“I wonder how Father, Mother, and my little sister are doing. Are they alright?”

Looking into the distance, Jiang Chen murmured.

Although they had only been gone for a few days, and the City Lord’s Mansion said it would protect the Jiang Family for three years, who knew if anything would happen.

Other families might take action against the ordinary people of the Jiang Family after seeing all the cultivators leave. While their lives might not be in danger, difficulties and harassment would be inevitable.

Jiang Suhai also fell silent.

Jiang Chen’s father, his son Jiang Chenghe, was tested to have no Aptitude since childhood. Although he had practiced the Qi Induction Art, it had no effect at all.

Later, he saw this son less frequently, only appearing when Jiang Chenghe got married.

After that, Jiang Chen was born. When it was detected that Jiang Chen had excellent Aptitude, he took him to his side to be nurtured.

So many years had passed that his impression of this son had become somewhat blurred.
