The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

144: Chapter 144 The Elder Goes into Seclusion, Jiang Chen Heads to the Depths of the Great WildernessAtop Qingyun Mountain, the scent of sandalwood in the Jiang Family Main Hall had not yet dissipated. Jiang Chen stood at the main seat in the hall, his fingertips lightly tapping the cold jade armrest, his gaze sweeping over the Clan Members, Elders, and Guest Elders below, all wearing different expressions.

The pressure from the Nascent Soul Stage Guest Elders flickered in and out, while the Golden Core Stage guest deacons possessed even more condensed auras. In contrast, the few Elders of his own Family, though already at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, inevitably appeared constrained under such a powerful atmosphere.

His grandfather Jiang Hong’s Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation had actually become the only confidence the core Clan Members could offer. This made the sense of urgency in Jiang Chen’s heart grow stronger.

”Alright, everyone, Guest Elders and deacons, the matters discussed today will end here. If something comes up, someone will naturally find you. You may leave first.”

Jiang Chen looked at the newly joined Guest Elders and deacons, his tone unhurried but brook no refusal.

Soon, in the entire hall, only the core Elders of the Jiang Family remained seated.

”Elders.”

Jiang Chen’s voice was calm but carried an unquestionable power.

”Absorbing Guest Elders recently was to build momentum for Qingyun Mountain, but if the core Clan Members’ strength is insufficient, I fear the cart will be put before the horse. Although the Guest Elders are for our use, if their strength surpasses the main Family, it is not a long-term solution.”

The several Elders below all showed expressions of shame. Grand Elder Jiang Xuanting bowed and said:

”What the Clan Chief says is absolutely correct. It is we who have dragged the Family down. Being unable to share the Family’s burdens makes us truly ashamed.”

Jiang Chen raised his hand to signal him to rise, his tone softening slightly.

”It is not the fault of you all. In the past, the Jiang Family lacked resources and the Spiritual Veins were thin, which limited your cultivation progress. Now it is different; the Family treasury is full, and we have heaven-grade aptitude pills as a Foundation. As long as we concentrate resources to fully support you, your Breakthroughs to the Golden Core Stage are just around the corner.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Suhai stood up, his Golden Core Middle Stage spiritual energy fluctuations slowly spreading out, suppressing the faint restlessness in the hall.

”What Chener says is exactly right.”

The old man’s gaze was deep.

”That our Jiang Family could have today is entirely thanks to Chener’s hard work. But if the Clan Members are not up to the task, they will sooner or later be backlashed by the Guest Elders. I fully support this tilt in resources. I myself will also strike for the Nascent Soul Stage to hold up the sky for the Family.”

Jiang Chen nodded and then gave the order.

”Starting immediately, all Spirit Stones above the third tier, thousand-year Spirit Medicines, and Enlightenment Immortal Plants in the Family treasury are to be taken out. Priority will be given to the Elders and core disciples of the clan. Every Foundation Establishment Late Stage Elder will be allocated ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones, three Thousand-Year Purple Reishi, and one barrier-breaking pill. Grandfather will additionally receive a heaven-grade Spirit-Nurturing Pill to help you stabilize your Golden Core and strike for the Nascent Soul Stage.”

The heaven-grade Spirit-Nurturing Pill was just obtained from a check-in these past few days. It belonged to the fourth tier of Medicinal Pills, but having reached the Heaven Grade, it was only a matter of time before Jiang Suhai broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

As soon as these words were spoken, the clan Elders in the hall all showed wild joy, and a burning light ignited in their eyes.

High-Grade Spirit Stones were already rare, let alone Top-Grade Spirit Stones. The Clan Chief actually had such legendary existences, and he even gave ten to each of them.

The Thousand-Year Purple Reishi was a Saint Grade item for healing, consolidating Foundations, and assisting in Breakthroughs. The barrier-breaking pill could directly reduce the risk of breaking through Bottlenecks. Such a grand gesture was something they wouldn’t have even dared to imagine in the past.
