Chapter 280 Thirty Years Later
A few days later.
The heads of more than a dozen Jiang family members were hung outside Taixuan Mountain.
This scene immediately caused a sensation in the entire Jiang family and many surrounding forces.
No one expected that the Jiang family would actually do this for real.
Especially when they saw that among the more than a dozen heads, there were also the heads of several core members of the Jiang family, and even the heads of two or three foundation-building elders, the shock and horror in everyone's hearts became more and more intense.
And this also greatly shocked the Jiang family's own children and all the cultivators who came to the market under their Jiang family.
For a time, both the Jiang family's own children and other foreign cultivators became well-behaved.
Even the Shen family, under the personal leadership of the ancestor Shen Yuanlong, conducted a screening of their own clansmen.
Fortunately, the family rules of their Shen family have always been very strict.
Although this screening also found some problems with the children of the family, there was no such thing as killing people and stealing treasures for the time being.
This also made Shen Yuanlong, Shen Daoming and other Shen family purple mansions secretly relieved.
At the same time, their constraints on their family members have become more and more strict.
After all, the current law enforcement elder of the Jiang family is Shen Ruyan, the ancestor of their Shen family.
Once there is a problem on their Shen family side.
As their ancestor, Shen Ruyan will not be polite, let alone have any concerns.
And this is another purpose of Jiang Chengxuan asking Shen Ruyan to personally serve as the law enforcement elder.
At this time.
Taixuan Mountain, Xuanming Peak.
Jiang Chengxuan looked at the information sent by Jiang Renyi and others, and the expression on his face finally eased a lot.
Shen Ruyan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile and said, "Husband, after this, I believe that no matter it is the Jiang family, the Shen family, or other cultivators who come to our Jiang family, they should be much more restrained.
When the subsequent impact of this incident spreads, I believe that the number of independent cultivators willing to choose to come to the market under our Jiang family will probably increase exponentially.
After all, after this incident, the market under our Jiang family should be the safest market within the five countries of Cangnan."
Hearing Shen Ruyan's words, Jiang Chengxuan nodded gently.
"I hope Renyi and the others won't let me down again.
Remind them for me later that if a person's character is not up to standard, even if he is a foundation-building cultivator, he cannot be put in an important decision-making position. At most, he can only be used as a gun.
During this period, I would rather give up some of the benefits I have gained, or even give up and shrink back to the original industry, than let the previous things happen again."
"Yeah."
Shen Ruyan nodded, and then she seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but continue to smile:
"By the way, Renyi and the others heard about the news about the inheritance of the mechanical beast that I released before, and they have sent me many private messages, but I didn't reply. What are you going to do about this matter then?"
"Just drag them like this."
Jiang Chengxuan answered a little unhappily.
"You are still thinking about those things now, so let them continue to worry about it. I will talk about it when I feel better.
By the way..."
At this point, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Shen Ruyan:
"I heard that Ling'er went down the mountain to secretly protect An Ran.
How is it? Have you heard about them during this period?"
Seeing Jiang Chengxuan asking this, Shen Ruyan shook her head gently.
"Not for the time being.
However, both of them have some backups left by you and me.
Now that you and I have no sense, it means that they should be fine for the time being."
"That's right."
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
Next, the couple talked for a while, and then returned to their respective caves to prepare to start retreat.
This trip to Yuzhou, the couple can be said to have gained a lot.
It really takes some time to digest these gains.
Jiang Chengxuan's side.
The first thing is to upgrade his Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd to the fourth level.
Secondly, he had to use the Qiankun True Jade, Yin Yang Tianlian, and Narcissus Treasure Jade to refine his water-attributed life-defining magic weapon into Yin Yang Divine Water Jade.
If there was still time, he could try to use the Longxu Grass to refine his body.
If he could push his body-refining skills to the fourth-order middle grade, it would definitely be a huge improvement for his overall strength.
It can be imagined that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan's retreat this time must not be short.
This is indeed the case.
The couple's retreat this time was thirty years later in a blink of an eye.
In these thirty years.
Jiang Chengxuan successfully upgraded his Thick Earth Desolate Sky Halberd to the fourth-order grade.
At the same time, his water-attributed life-defining magic weapon, Yin Yang Divine Water Jade, was also successfully refined by him.
It reached the fourth-order grade right away.
And at the moment when he successfully refined the Yin Yang Divine Water Jade, the familiar system prompt appeared in his mind again.
[Ding]
[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the refining of the natal magic weapon, the Yin-Yang Divine Water Jade, and obtained the refining method of the natal magic weapon, the Eternal Sun Furnace]
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this natal magic weapon is a fire-attributed natal magic weapon.
This treasure can refine all the filthy and evil things in the world, and is born to be the nemesis of all evil demons.
At the same time, it can also contain all the most yang and strong flames such as the sun's true fire, eternal flames, and pure yang true fire.
And it has the special effect of making all the strange fires in the world disappear.
It is no exaggeration to say that once Jiang Chengxuan refines this life magic weapon, if it is not done well, there is a great possibility that it will directly threaten the Yuanying Zhenjun.
The only problem is that it is not so easy to successfully refine this life magic weapon.
Because many of the materials needed to refine this treasure have reached the top level of the fourth level, or even the fifth level.
Especially the two materials of the sun treasure crystal and the eternal sky crystal.
Its own grade has not only reached the fifth level, but also is very rare.
At least with Jiang Chengxuan's current knowledge, he still doesn't know where these two materials can be found.
In addition.
It is his body refining cultivation.
After using the dragon void grass to successfully refine the fourth-level body refining treasure pill, the dragon void blood pill.
Not only did he successfully push his alchemy level to the fourth level.
And he also used the Dragon Void Blood Pill he refined to successfully push his body refinement to the fourth-level middle-grade level.
At present, with Jiang Chengxuan's strength, let alone the late Jindan, even if he encounters a cultivator at the false infant level, he is fully confident that he can fight with him.
[Ding]
Same.
When his alchemy level reached the fourth level, the system also gave corresponding prompts in time.
[Congratulations to the host, achieving the fourth-level alchemist achievement and obtaining the recipe of the Fantasy God Pill]
[Fantasy God Pill: A pill that can be used to improve the Yuanshen]
Jiang Chengxuan took a closer look and found that the medicinal materials needed to refine this pill were not very precious.
With the current ability of their Jiang family, they are fully capable of collecting them all.
And there is more than one.
This is very remarkable.
Everyone knows that it is the most difficult for a cultivator to improve his Yuanshen.
The biggest reason is that the spiritual objects that can be used to enhance the strength of the cultivator's soul are very rare.
Therefore, it is even more difficult to refine a furnace of elixirs that can be used to enhance the strength of the cultivator's soul.
However, the recipe for the Illusionary Pill that Jiang Chengxuan has obtained has basically solved this problem.
At least the medicinal materials needed to refine the Illusionary Pill are not particularly precious to Jiang Chengxuan now.
Moreover, this kind of elixir should still have some effect even when his cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Realm.
At this time.
Jiang Chengxuan has already walked out of his own retreat cave.
When he came outside, he saw that Shen Ruyan had not come out of retreat yet, so he opened his spiritual sense and roughly scanned the entire Taixuan Mountain now.
Soon he was surprised to find that the entire Jiang family had also changed a lot in the past thirty years.
First of all, Jiang Anran, his and Shen Ruyan's disciple, had returned to the family more than 20 years ago.
And now his cultivation has surprisingly broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
At the age of sixty, he reached the Purple Mansion Realm. He was indeed a person with a natural spiritual root. His speed was extraordinary.
Secondly, there was a younger generation that he was quite optimistic about, Jiang Yuncheng.
Now, he had also broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
Then there was Jiang Yunrou, the daughter of Jiang Renchuan, who had also reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
She could almost try to reach the Purple Mansion Realm.
If successful, then if Huang Ling'er was not counted, the number of Purple Mansion cultivators in their Jiang family would have reached seven.
It had already taken shape.
Finally, there was the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, which had now reached as many as fifty or sixty.
According to this situation, the positions of the senior members of their Jiang family should be changed.
Especially the position of elder.
Now it seems that Foundation Establishment cultivators are no longer suitable for this position.
Only those who have reached the Purple Mansion Realm are qualified to be the elders of their Jiang family.
While he was thinking about this, a man suddenly came behind him.
Turning his head, who else could that person be but Shen Ruyan who had just come out of the retreat cave?
"Ruyan."
Jiang Chengxuan's face suddenly showed a smile.
The couple immediately began to talk about what they had gained from their retreat over the years.
Through communication, Jiang Chengxuan immediately learned that in the past thirty years, Shen Ruyan's cultivation had also broken through two levels, from the original fourth level of Jindan to the sixth level of Jindan.
Once again on par with his Jiang Chengxuan's cultivation.
In addition, Shen Ruyan also used some treasures obtained from the ruins that day to advance her Thunder Spirit True Body to the next level.
At this time, her Thunder Spirit True Body can not only last longer, but also be more powerful than before.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Shen Ruyan fully explodes her own strength, even if she faces a cultivator at the false infant level, there will be no problem at all.
"Let An Ran and Ling Er come with us."
When the couple had almost finished their conversation, Shen Ruyan couldn't help but smile and suggested:
"After all these years, I would like to take a closer look at what changes An Ran has undergone."
Jiang Chengxuan naturally had no objection to this.
Soon, Jiang An Ran and Huang Ling Er, who had received the message, came to them.
After not seeing each other for almost thirty years, both Jiang Anran and Huang Ling'er obviously missed them very much.
Especially Jiang Anran, who chattered non-stop as soon as they met.
Although she is now a genuine Purple Mansion cultivator, in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, she is still vaguely like the little girl back then.
Huang Ling'er looks much more mature.
But in front of the two, she also turned back into the simple and kind girl she used to be.
In this way, the four chatted for a long time on Xuanming Peak.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan also had a clearer understanding of Jiang Anran's experience over the years.
Although he is a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root and has a Jindan fairy clan like the Jiang family as his backing, he has suffered the same hardships, sins, and pitfalls during this period.
Over time, Jiang Anran actually made a name for himself as the Piaoyun Sword and the Piaoyun Fairy.
Almost a few days later.
Suddenly, a very violent spiritual fluctuation was heard from the place where Jiang Yunrou was in seclusion.
Then, a spiritual pressure different from the foundation-building period began to rise continuously.
After a long time, the spiritual pressure reached a peak, and then a surging and turbulent breath emanated from the center of the spiritual pressure.
At this moment, all the cultivators on Taixuan Mountain knew that their Jiang family now had another purple mansion master.
Wait until Jiang Yunrou consolidated her own cultivation.
Jiang Chengxuan immediately sent a message to Jiang Renyi and others. Five days later, all the cultivators of the Jiang family above the purple mansion will gather in the meeting hall.
Jiang Renyi and his people who heard the news were relieved immediately.
They thought that the old uncle was finally willing to see them.
You know, Jiang Chengxuan has not seen them since the last incident.
This may be related to his retreat, but from a certain perspective, isn't this a punishment for them?
Fortunately, all this will pass now.
Wait until five days later.
Jiang Renyi, Jiang Renchuan, Jiang Rendao, Jiang Yuncheng, Jiang Yunrou, Liu Linglong, and Jiang Anran all arrived at the meeting hall early.
Almost subconsciously, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Jiang Anran.
Then Jiang Yuncheng pretended to cough, and then smiled and said to Jiang Anran:
"Aunt Anran, do you know why Uncle Zeng summoned us this time?"
"Xiao Chengzi, how many times have I told you?
Don't call me aunt, call me Sister Anran.
Next time I hear you call me aunt, I'll see how I deal with you!"
Jiang Anran suddenly showed a somewhat fierce expression to Jiang Yuncheng.
The age difference between the two is not much.
Therefore, in terms of relationship, Jiang Anran, Jiang Yuncheng, and Jiang Yunrou are all considered to be quite good.
When Jiang Yuncheng heard Jiang Anran's words, his face immediately pretended to be bitter, and he couldn't help but said:
"Then don't keep calling me Xiaochengzi Xiaochengzi. People who don't know me will think it's someone else."
"What? You still have an opinion, right?"
Jiang Anran immediately said with a somewhat "dangerous" expression: "Others want me to call you that, but I won't."
Speaking of this, Jiang Anran couldn't help but pretend to snort, and then changed the subject and said:
"Master called us here this time, there should be a few more important things to tell us, we just wait."
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, there were suddenly two more people on the main seat over there.
It was Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
