The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

45: Zhang ShangyiBang.

”Boom.”

As the last Wild Beast fell to the ground, not a single trace of a Wild Beast could be found within a fifty-mile radius of Qingyun Mountain.

Just then, the System’s notification sounded in Jiang Chen’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: three condensing gold pills.]

[condensing gold pill]: Tier 3 High Grade. Significantly increases the success rate of Core Formation, stabilizes Spiritual Qi, and protects Spiritual Veins.

Seeing the reward, Jiang Chen felt a bit helpless. It was a good item, but unfortunately, he couldn’t use it.

As for the Clan Members, they had basically just broken through to Foundation Establishment, so the Golden Core stage was still a long way off.

”Clan Chief.”

”Clan Chief.”

At this moment, a group of War Hall Disciples stepped forward, waiting for Jiang Chen’s instructions.

Over the past three days, they had swept through a fifty-mile radius around Qingyun Mountain. These three days of combat had not only enriched their battle experience but also fostered a tacit understanding among everyone in the War Hall.

”Not bad. You all performed very well. Those at the seventh level of Qi Refining will be rewarded with a mirror-breaking pill, and everyone at the sixth level of Qi Refining will be rewarded with a yellow dragon pill.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, Medicinal Pills appeared around him one by one, then turned into streaks of light and landed in the hands of all the War Hall Disciples.

”Thank you, Clan Chief.”

...Seeing the pills in their hands, they were all immediately excited. With these pills, they could all take a step further.

”This is what you deserve. Clean up and return to the Family.”

Jiang Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling everyone to clear the scene.

Subsequently, everyone followed Jiang Chen towards Qingyun Mountain.

Stepping into the main hall, Jiang Chen found that all the Elders had arrived.

”Greetings, Clan Chief.”

Seeing Jiang Chen enter, the Elders stood up one after another to pay their respects.

Jiang Chen looked at the Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder. He found that they had all broken through. The Third and Fourth Elders had both entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the Fifth Elder, Jiang Beiyuan, had actually broken through to the eleventh level of Qi Refining instead of Foundation Establishment!

This made him look at Jiang Beiyuan in a slightly different light.

”You’ve all broken through. Very good. Second Elder, how are your injuries?”

”Reporting to the Clan Chief, I have fully recovered. Even if I encounter another Foundation Establishment Wild Beast now, I can still fight.”

Jiang Liejun said fiercely. The injury had left him with a pent-up fire in his heart. Now that he had come out of seclusion, he was determined to lead the War Hall Disciples to flatten the Great Wilderness and avenge the grievance of that day.

Jiang Chen strode to the main seat and slowly sat down.

”What were you all discussing earlier?”

Jiang Chen looked at the Grand Elder at the front and asked.

”We were discussing the System the Jiang Family should establish next. Also, the Market Area can now be opened, but no merchants have come yet.”

Jiang Xuanting voiced his concerns.

Primarily, their Jiang Family was too far from the cities, a distance of nearly two thousand kilometers. Ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators didn’t dare to come, mainly because it took too much time.

As for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, there weren’t many in peripheral cities like Tianlin City to begin with. They didn’t need to do anything in the city; their Family Disciples would help them find the resources they needed, so there was no need for them to take action personally.

As for Golden Core True Persons, forget about it. They were Elder-level figures in Sects; why would they come here to suffer?

The main issue was that the Jiang Family didn’t have enough reputation. Some people didn’t quite trust the Jiang Family, and others might be waiting to see if the Jiang Family could hold their ground.

Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, everyone fell silent. Indeed, they had been over-optimistic. The market was built, but whether it could be defended was one thing; even if it could be, if no one came, what was the point of establishing it?

”Let’s put that aside for now and talk about the Family System first.”

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

”Clan Chief, we have discussed it. The fact that we were able to break through so quickly recently is entirely dependent on the resources you provided. But this might make the Clan Members take it for granted and expect gains without effort.”

”Now that our Jiang Family has stabilized and you, Clan Chief, are in the Golden Core Realm, a Family’s development cannot rely on you alone. Therefore, we have decided that the Family will use Contribution Points from now on, and Clan Members will need to exchange contribution for your resources.”

Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting spoke eloquently.

”So, what are your thoughts?”

Jiang Chen asked.

”This is the result of our discussion. Please take a look.”

After speaking, Jiang Xuanting handed Jiang Chen a booklet. Jiang Chen took it and flipped it open.

On it were written the Jiang Family Rules.

1. This System applies to all Jiang Clan Members. Clan Members must prioritize the Family’s interests. It is strictly forbidden to betray the clan, collude with enemies, hoard resources, or harm fellow clansmen. Violators will be stripped of their clan status, have their cultivation base abolished, or be expelled from the Family.

2. Contribution Points are the Family’s only circulating currency. They can be exchanged for cultivation resources, techniques, and cultivation privileges. Private trading is prohibited. Violators will have the corresponding points deducted and be banned from exchanges for 3 months.

3. Clan Members can obtain Contribution Points by breaking through Realms in their cultivation, guarding defense lines, or completing Family missions.

Jiang Chen took a glance. It was quite concise and clear at a glance.

”Fine, let’s go with this. Announce this to the whole clan later.”

Jiang Chen said, looking at the Elders.

”Yes, Clan Chief.”

”Also, I intend to have Ling Xuanye join our Jiang Family. What do you all think?”

Jiang Chen asked. Although he had already agreed to let Ling Xuanye join, he still needed to let these Elders know.

”But Clan Chief, Ling Xuanye is not a member of our Jiang Family. This...?”

The Grand Elder said somewhat hesitantly. Everyone here was surnamed Jiang; having an outsider with a different surname was quite unusual.

”Indeed, Clan Chief. Our Jiang Family as a whole has already grown strong. Several of us Elders have already broken through to Foundation Establishment. Why do we need an outsider to join?”

The other Elders also chimed in with their concerns.

”Enough.”

Seeing the Elders clamoring in such an unseemly manner, Jiang Chen interrupted them directly.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s anger, the Elders immediately fell silent, not daring to make another sound.

”I know what you’re thinking, but you must understand that this is the Deep part of the Great Wilderness, and we are in danger at all times. Although I have swept through this fifty-mile radius, there’s no guarantee that other Wild Beasts won’t come from elsewhere. Our Jiang Family’s personnel are currently too sparse.”

”In such a vast Great Wilderness, relying solely on our Jiang Family’s own people is far from enough. Even now, we are stretched thin.”

”So, when possible, we still need to recruit some outsiders. We can hire them as Guest Elders of our Jiang Family. Once our Jiang Family grows stronger, we can also recruit Outer Sect Elders.”

”I think you all know that Ling Xuanye is an Alchemist. Until now, our Jiang Family hasn’t had a single Alchemist. Why? Because our Jiang Family simply couldn’t get in touch with one before.”

”Now we have one ready. Once he becomes a Rank 2 Alchemist, our Jiang Family will have a Tier 2 Alchemist. As long as our Clan Members are willing to stay by his side for a while, I believe Alchemists belonging to our Jiang Family will soon appear.”

Jiang Chen spoke slowly, explaining his thoughts.

”My perspective was too narrow.”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s explanation, Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting stepped forward and bowed his head in apology.
