The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

86: Chapter 86 Deep Affection Between Grandparents and Grandchildren, Gift of Spirit Stones to RelativesTen days later, Jiang Chen, with his abundant resources and Divine Grade Aptitude, naturally and without surprise, achieved a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

As Jiang Chen successfully broke through to Nascent Soul, the Aura unique to the Nascent Soul Stage erupted, and for a time, the entire Qingyun Mountain shook once again.

This time, however, the Jiang Family Clansmen were not alarmed. Instead, they showed expressions of excitement, knowing that their Clan Chief had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

With Jiang Chen’s Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, they had already become the most powerful Family in the Yuan Kingdom apart from the Imperial Family. Lu Xin was another matter, but because she shared the Family’s Spiritual Vein, she could not go beyond a hundred li of Qingyun Mountain.

Of course, Jiang Chen’s Breakthrough was a different story for the Qingyun Market. Lu Xin’s previous eruption had already caused some people to leave the market, and this time, Jiang Chen’s renewed eruption made those who were still hesitating immediately depart.

So, when Jiang Chen walked out of his Immortal Cave and his Divine Sense swept over Qingyun Mountain, he found that half the people in the market were gone.

However, he didn’t care. Now, with his Nascent Soul Cultivation, whether the market could continue to operate was irrelevant.

Returning to the Jiang Family’s main hall, upon receiving Jiang Chen’s notification, all the Elders gathered once again.

Jiang Chen looked at the Elders; not bad, they had all broken through.

The Elders’ Auras were condensed, and as Spiritual Qi flowed around them, a faint Spiritual Light occasionally flickered, indicating that they had all broken through their Bottlenecks with the nourishment of the Spiritual Vein and the resources he had given them.

”Congratulations, Clan Chief, on entering the Nascent Soul Stage!”

The Grand Elder was the first to rise and cup his hands, his voice filled with excitement.

”We, too, have advanced thanks to the Clan Chief’s great fortune. The rise of the Jiang Family is just around the corner!”

Jiang Chen raised his hand to quiet them, his gaze solemn: ”Your Breakthroughs are the result of your own diligent Cultivation. The Spirit Stones I gave you were merely icing on the cake; there’s no need for thanks.”

”The reason I called you here today is to inform you that tomorrow, I will lead the Clan Members participating in the Qingfeng Martial Meet to the capital city. I am very confident with Lu Xin overseeing the Jiang Family, but you, Grand Elder, will need to manage the Clan’s affairs yourselves.”

Jiang Chen said, looking at the Grand Elder. Lu Xin hadn’t come this time; she was still too young, and participating in such Family meetings would be torture for her. Jiang Chen didn’t mind; Lu Xin’s main role was deterrence.

”Yes, Clan Chief.”

The Grand Elder bowed in response.

”This time, Fifth Elder, you will come with me. Notify the Clan Members in secluded Cultivation, and have all those at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Realm come out of seclusion. We depart tomorrow.”

Jiang Chen said, looking at the Fifth Elder.

”Yes, Clan Chief.”

Hearing that Jiang Chen only called the Fifth Elder and not them, the Second Elder immediately became anxious. He also wanted to go and see.

”Clan Chief.”

The Second Elder stood up, preparing to say he wanted to go along.

”Second Elder, the War Hall is entrusted to you. If you leave, what will happen to the Disciples in the War Hall? They can’t just stay in the Family and not go out to hunt desolate beasts, can they?”

Jiang Chen directly refused.

”Yes.”

The Second Elder could only respond helplessly.

”Alright, you all go and make arrangements. We’ll gather at the Family square tomorrow.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he instantly disappeared from the main hall.

Appearing again, Jiang Chen had already arrived at Immortal Cave Number One.

At this moment, Jiang Suhai slowly finished his Cultivation Technique, opened his eyes, his face full of joy.

”Congratulations, Grandpa, on your Breakthrough to Golden Core.”

Jiang Chen’s voice sounded, and only then did Jiang Suhai look at Jiang Chen.

”Chener, why are you here?”

Jiang Suhai was also very happy to see Jiang Chen. His Breakthrough was thanks to a condensing gold pill Jiang Chen had given him earlier. After breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, he didn’t immediately come out of seclusion but continued to take the condensing gold pill, thus achieving a Breakthrough in one go.

Feeling the vast Spiritual Power within him and the strength of a Golden Core expert, Jiang Suhai couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his laughter full of unrestrained joy.

”If not for the condensing gold pill you sent, Chener, this old man might have been trapped at Peak Foundation Establishment for the rest of his life, sighing at the sight of the Golden Core!”

He quickly walked up to Jiang Chen, patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with unconcealed satisfaction. His previous Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment was also due to Jiang Chen giving him a supreme grade foundation establishment pill, and this Breakthrough was similarly due to Jiang Chen giving him a condensing gold pill. With such a grandson, what more could he ask for?

Jiang Chen, however, smiled slightly, reaching out to support his grandpa’s slightly trembling arm, his tone carrying a rare gentleness.

”Grandpa, you’re too kind. You are my grandpa; it’s only right for a grandson to give what he has to his grandpa.”

”You’ve done so much for the Jiang Family and to protect me. These are just a small token of your grandson’s appreciation.”

”Good, good, good!”

Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Jiang Suhai laughed even more happily.

”Grandpa, tomorrow I will lead some young Clan Members of the Jiang Family to the capital city to participate in the Qingfeng Martial Meet. I came here today to inform you of this.”

Jiang Chen said to Jiang Suhai.

”Good, you are the Clan Chief of the Jiang Family. You can decide whatever you want; I am very relieved with you overseeing the Family. With the abundant Spiritual Qi in this Immortal Cave, I don’t think it will take too long for me to break through to the Late Stage of Golden Core.”

Jiang Suhai said.

”Oh right, Grandpa, here are some Spirit Stones. Take them and use them.”

Jiang Chen took out a storage ring and handed it to Jiang Suhai.

Jiang Suhai accepted it. He was already accustomed to Jiang Chen frequently giving him resources. Although he was curious where Jiang Chen got these resources, he didn’t actively ask.

Taking the storage ring, Jiang Suhai swept it with his Divine Sense. He was immediately stunned.

The storage ring was densely packed with over a hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones—yes, all High-Grade Spirit Stones. With these Spirit Stones, the time it would take him to break through to the Ninth Layer of Golden Core could be reduced by half.

”Chener, this—”

Jiang Suhai couldn’t hold back this time; it was too much. How could he refuse?

”This is too much!”

Jiang Suhai suddenly looked up, his voice trembling slightly, his fingers tightening around the storage ring.

”High-Grade Spirit Stones are already rare, and over a hundred thousand of them... How can you give them to me so easily?”

Jiang Chen merely smiled faintly, his tone light and unconcerned:

”Grandpa, there’s no need to be surprised. These were just things I obtained by chance; they’re not very useful to me. Your Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Golden Core and solidifying the Jiang Family’s Foundation is more important than anything else.”

”Good.”

Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Jiang Suhai no longer hesitated.

”Grandpa, since you’ve broken through to Golden Core, let’s go out and take a look. Staying in seclusion all the time isn’t good; it’s about balancing work and rest.”

Jiang Chen said to Jiang Suhai.

”Good, let’s go.”

Jiang Suhai readily agreed upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, and the two returned to the courtyard.

”Brother, Grandpa.”

As the two appeared, Jiang Siyao, who was playing in the courtyard, quickly spotted them and rushed into Jiang Chen’s arms.

”Haha, Ya’er, do you miss Grandpa?”

Watching Jiang Siyao rush into Jiang Chen’s arms, although she called him Grandpa, her actions were unfamiliar.

He understood that in the past, apart from Jiang Chen who had Cultivation talent and was taken in by him, the other three members of Jiang Chenghe’s Family had no impression of him.

When they occasionally met, it was mostly out of fear, and this was even more true for the young Jiang Siyao.

This situation only eased after Jiang Chen gave them heaven-grade aptitude pills, but it couldn’t change overnight.

So, seeing Jiang Siyao’s behavior, Jiang Suhai wasn’t annoyed. Instead, he stroked his beard and laughed, his eyes full of kind affection.
