626: Chapter 433 626: Chapter 433 Cai Xiangxiang naturally followed Yan Weiwei, not only to repay her kindness, but also because among so many people, Yan Weiwei was the person she knew best.
She had a secret crush on Jiang Tang and was aware that, with so many outstanding women around, she didn’t exist in his eyes.
She wanted to quietly improve her own abilities, hoping that one day she would be good enough to stand by his side.
Just being by his side as a maidservant would satisfy her.
Jiang Tang hadn’t released the powerful figure from the North City Immortal Sect from his Magical Treasure; he felt it was troublesome.
He decided to wait until the people were settled before letting the old master out.
Steering the flying arrow, he headed to another base, his expression relaxed, and finding himself with free time, he was able to chat with the women by his side.
“Jiang Tang, are we going to another place for construction now?
Or to gain more experience?” Lin Dandan asked.
“For now, we’ll just get everyone settled.
They’ve already bought some materials, so we’ll start constructing there first.”
He always felt that the Elves could no longer hold back those powerful beings, sensing them wandering the skies of the Cultivation World.
This time, Jiang Tang’s attempt was to use his own skills in Formation to fend off those powers.
If his subordinates controlled the Formation, it could give those adults a chance to intrude.
He hoped that they were not united, for if a dozen powerful beings attacked the Sect’s Formation together, even the most robust Formation could possibly be destroyed.
Jiang Tang decided to lead with stealth; by shrouding the area in black mist, it might mislead those powerful beings into thinking there were no resources here.
But if he wasn’t there to guide them, how could they leave?
It wasn’t feasible for the people of the two bases to stay inside indefinitely, living in obscurity.
Yet, if these people were free to come and go, they might bring in spies who could create chaos within the base.
Also, the other base, where the common people were more numerous, could easily fall to invaders.
Jiang Tang felt that as the highest authority, it was best to delegate some responsibilities to his subordinates.
Regardless of which base it was, each needed a leader to manage it effectively on his behalf.
Jiang Tang did want to expand his enterprise and make his Saint Sect well-known, but he couldn’t handle everything himself; that would be too exhausting.
He believed that among these few hundred people, all could be trained.
Each one had the potential to stand on their own and become leaders for others.
The male leaders could manage the male Cultivators, teaching and taking on disciples.
The female leaders had another mission; they could govern the female Cultivators and form a women’s organization, thereby providing support if any woman faced difficulties.
After two days of pill concoction, Hua Xian’er hadn’t finished processing the medicinal herbs in the Storage Bag.
She was both admiring and envious of Jiang Tang.
To be able to accomplish so much, distribute Pills to so many people—such strength was rare in this world.
Hua Xian’er felt that despite her diligent study and hard work, she aspired to finish her tasks quicker and to breakthrough during the process of Alchemy.
Thanks to the Alchemy taught to her by Jiang Tang, her Alchemy Skill had improved, yet she was still far from producing Supreme Elixirs like Jiang Tang; her Pills were between average and high-grade quality.
She hadn’t managed to produce more than five Pills per batch, nor could each Pill be of high-grade quality.
Even so, providing her Pills to those less skilled Martial Artists was an honor for them.
She was entirely devoted to serving Jiang Tang; as a daughter of a wealthy family, the work she did, though not comparable to Jiang Tang’s, was top-notch.
Ordinary people could not afford her services.
Hua Xian’er put her utmost effort into each Pill, striving to do her best.
The Marquis spent a short amount of time teaching his clansmen language and survival skills.
Especially the martial arts of their clan; even without Magic Wands, they mustn’t forget their ancestors’ martial skills.
The Marquis was deeply concerned; these people could hardly practice martial arts and felt very deficient in strength.
His Magic Staff could only heal external injuries, not internal damages or the overall depletion of their bodies.
Those people were so cruel, having ensured for years that none of his clan could practice martial arts, treating them like ordinary laborers, farmers, and miners.
Reflecting on his worries, the Marquis then realized that the skills his people had learned before could be put to good use.
He hoped the base had mineral resources; those experienced in mining could continue to work, and metallurgists could resume their former roles.
As for the farmers, it was even simpler; they could use their skills to clear land for cultivation.
With so many people to feed, only through farming could they ensure an adequate supply of food.
The Marquis decided to move his clan here too so that they could lead these people.
The most important aspect, the management of these individuals, would be best handled by members of his own clan.
Once the Marquis had the people settled and the area developed, his clan could start migrating here.
With Jiang Tang so busy, it was always trouble to disturb him.
If they didn’t seek his help, his family’s large-scale migration might encounter difficulties.
Su Chang’an and Su Feifei met and discussed the recent situation of their family.
Su Feifei told Su Chang’an that she would continue to stay here and confided in her brother that she was also practicing Alchemy.
Although she wasn’t as skilled as Hua Xian’er, she promised to work hard and improve.
