The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

41: Zhang Lingxuan went into seclusion.Jiang Chen handed the storage ring to the Grand Elder, who took it without any surprise.

Over this period of time, Jiang Chen had occasionally brought out resources that the Jiang Family could not possibly possess; at first, he had questions, but as it happened more often, he became accustomed to it.

As for why Jiang Chen only gave 50 mirror-breaking pills and yellow dragon pills, it was because his parents had now embarked on the path of cultivation, so some of these resources inevitably had to be set aside for them.

Do not blame him for showing favoritism; people are like that, and Family is what matters most.

As for the Nirvana Sword Art, Jiang Chen thought about it and decided to wait a few days; right now, the most important thing for the Clan Members was to raise their cultivation, though he could give it to the War Hall Disciples to practice first.

Currently, the Second Elder was in seclusion to heal his injuries; next, he planned to lead the War Hall Disciples to clear the area within fifty miles of Qingyun Mountain to claim the rewards given by the System.

Jiang Chen was quite interested in this reward; the previous rewards had all been ten foundation establishment pills, so the next one shouldn’t be bad.

Previously, when Jiang Chen received foundation establishment pills as rewards, he gave them to the Third Elder and Fourth Elder; it looked like they would be able to Breakthrough in a few days.

Then there was Ling Xuanye; he was willing to join the Jiang Family, and Jiang Chen would announce this once all the Elders were present, though he had been busy lately.

”Alright, Clan Chief.”

Jiang Xuanting took the Storage Pouch and swept his Divine Sense over all the items inside; although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was extremely unsettled.

With these resources, it would be difficult for the Clan Members not to make rapid progress.

”However...”

Just then, the Grand Elder wanted to say something but suddenly stopped himself.

”What is it? Don’t be so secretive.”

Jiang Chen asked directly.

”It’s like this: currently, the lowest cultivation in our Family is already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, creating a gap below that level. I wonder if the Clan Chief has a solution.”

Jiang Xuanting no longer hesitated and directly voiced his concerns.

Although Jiang Chen had a mysterious source of resources that could quickly turn an ordinary person into a cultivator...

...it still takes time regardless; it’s fine in the early stages, but in the Late Stages, this gap will become more and more apparent.

Hearing Jiang Xuanting’s concerns, Jiang Chen also fell into thought.

It was true; the main issue was that there were too few Clan Members. If there were more, it would be better. Hmm, more people... that would be easy to handle.

”Grand Elder, first build the market town as quickly as possible. Once it’s built, many people should come during this time. Remember, all our shops are only for rent, not for sale, and the Qingyun Pavilion and the Restaurant will be controlled by our Jiang Family.”

”But what about the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower?”

The Grand Elder asked with some hesitation.

One must know that in eighty to ninety percent of all market towns, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower is controlled by the tower itself; now, it would be difficult for the Jiang Family to control it themselves.

As for the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, the resources it consumed were simply not something the current Jiang Family could afford.

”It’s fine. If the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower comes, we can cooperate, but we cannot let them move in. We are surrounded by the Great Wilderness; if we want resources, we can just go and get them ourselves.”

Jiang Chen said grandly.

”Yes.”

Hearing Jiang Chen say this, the Grand Elder could only helplessly agree.

”Alright, you go ahead and get busy.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand, and the Grand Elder left the main hall.

After the Grand Elder left, Jiang Chen went to Ling Xuanye’s small courtyard once again.

”Clan Chief.”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s arrival, Ling Xuanye hurriedly stood up and bowed; since he had agreed to join the Jiang Family, he had begun to accept his identity as a Jiang Family Member.

”Hmm, you actually broke through.”

Jiang Chen was quite surprised to see Ling Xuanye’s Breakthrough; he hadn’t given him any cultivation resources, and the Grand Elder certainly wouldn’t have given him any.

Yet the aura currently emanating from Ling Xuanye was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

It seemed there was nothing wrong with bringing him into the Family; moreover, he was an Alchemist, and it looked like it wouldn’t be long before he could become a Grade Two Alchemist.

”I wonder what important matter brings the Clan Chief here?”

Ling Xuanye hurriedly invited Jiang Chen to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked.

”This is a mirror-breaking pill, which can quickly help you Breakthrough to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. Go directly to Immortal Cave No. 8 to enter seclusion and Breakthrough; once you reach Foundation Establishment, you’ll be busy.”

Jiang Chen spoke slowly, as if mentioning a trivial matter.

Looking at the mirror-breaking pill that appeared in his hand, Ling Xuanye trembled with excitement.

As an Alchemist, how could he not understand the value of this pill? This was a Medicinal Pill that everyone in the Late Stage of Qi Refining dreamed of; just one could allow a Breakthrough in a minor Realm without side effects.

Furthermore, the recipe for this pill had long been lost, and the remaining mirror-breaking pills were extremely rare.

”Clan Chief, this is too precious, I cannot accept it.”

”If I tell you to take it, then take it. Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.”

Jiang Chen looked at Ling Xuanye and spoke seriously; if it were before, a Grade One Alchemist like Ling Xuanye would have been incredibly noble, but now that Jiang Chen was in the Golden Core Realm, he truly looked down on a mere Grade One Alchemist.

However, if the other party could quickly Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and become a Grade Two Alchemist, it would be a significant help to the Jiang Family.

”Thank you for the reward, Clan Chief. Ling Xuanye will certainly not disappoint.”

Ling Xuanye bowed again in gratitude.

Although he thought that as long as he worked hard for the Jiang Family, he would eventually be rewarded, he didn’t expect it to come so soon.

Foundation Establishment! That was a Realm so many people dreamed of, and now, the path to the Foundation Establishment Realm was right before his eyes; as long as he wanted to, he could completely pass through.

And all of this was given by the person in front of him.

”Go ahead then, don’t disappoint me.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he left directly.

Previously, the Jiang Family was unstable and resources were barely enough to be self-sufficient, but it was different now. Starting tomorrow, resources would surely be sent back in a continuous stream.

Jiang Chen looked into the distance toward the Deep part of the Great Wilderness, where endless resources lay; unfortunately, he could only stay nearby for now, but he knew that sooner or later, he would go to the Deep part of the Great Wilderness to see how the scenery there differed from here.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, several Clan Members were on guard at the intersection leading to the summit.

Since the natural Formation surrounding Qingyun Mountain had long since vanished without a trace, without the Formation’s barrier, there was a fear that some wild beasts might accidentally wander in, so placing several Clan Members on guard at the intersection could prevent such occurrences.

Although Jiang Chen could directly activate the fifth-grade Nine Star Chain Formation and, with his resources, could keep it running 24 hours a day, it would be too high-profile.

It would be fine if the Jiang Family were a Hidden Family, but now they were establishing a market town; it wouldn’t do to keep people thousands of miles away.

Returning home, his mother had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him.

”Chener, come and eat quickly, it’s getting cold.”

Qin Xiangwan hurriedly invited Jiang Chen to take a seat.

”I know, Mother.”

Jiang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat down to start eating.

Seeing this, Qin Xiangwan revealed a bright smile.

Now she was able to Cultivate and had already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining; if she didn’t have to look after Jiang Siyao every day, her progress would have been even faster than Jiang Chenghe’s.
