660: Chapter 450 660: Chapter 450 Jiang Tang teased the elders of North City Immortal Sect in his room, chatting with them as if they were of the same generation, even though the age gap between him and the sect’s ancestors from North City Immortal Sect was vast.
The ancestors from North City Immortal Sect had some differing opinions, such as which among the various Sects, the Top Ten Clans, first-rate clans, second-rate clans, and the smaller clans were truly the most powerful.
The ancestor from North City Immortal Sect claimed they belonged to the number one Immortal Sect under the heavens and that with the two of them as ancestors, they were not inferior to the Top Ten Clans at all.
Jiang Tang, on the other hand, said that although the Top Ten Clans and the big Sects each had their own Magical Treasures and capabilities in the past, if they didn’t strive for progress, it was possible for first-rate clans or even smaller Sects to surpass them.
“Old man, do you realize that today the Saint Sect and the Top Ten Clans face challenges from many leading Sects, and in the future, these clans and Sects may not match in financial and material resources?”
Of course, the ancestor from North City Immortal Sect didn’t believe it, as he had only heard that the Saint Sect owned just a few shops and had only Jiang Tang, a young man, holding it up by selling Supreme Elixirs for money, but he didn’t have many disciples.
“Young man, this Jiang Tang you speak of is only at the Cultivation level of Ocean Wheel.
At present, the Top Ten Clans and many Sects recognize him for formulating Supreme Elixirs.
What they really value is the Supreme Elixirs in his possession.
Without more disciples under his wing, no matter how much money he has, how can he compare with the primary Sects among the Top Ten Clans?”
Upon hearing the words of the ancestor from North City Immortal Sect, Jiang Tang let out a mysterious smile and said:
“You’re only aware of his Ocean Wheel level of Cultivation, and you all boost your Cultivation using the Supreme Elixirs he possesses.
How could he not rapidly improve as well?
Have you heard that he could ascend several major steps in just two months?
And how would you know whether he won’t gather forces and build his base, the Saint Sect, during this time?”
After hearing the words of this young man, the ancestor from North City Immortal Sect felt there was some sense in them.
With money, it’s possible to recruit people—money makes the world go round.
Many people in the Martial World were able to enhance their abilities after consuming the Supreme Elixirs, so why wouldn’t the person who researches and develops these Supreme Elixirs benefit as well?
Moreover, the fact that Jiang Tang advanced several levels in just over two months was an honor for their Immortal Sect, and many people envied the Xiamen for having such a disciple, and later on, Jiang Tang was even nominated as the Master of the Alchemy Hall and an Elder.
He taught the disciples in the Alchemy Hall his exquisite Alchemy Skills, elevating the Alchemy Skill of their North City Immortal Sect by a significant step.
At this moment, he began to have doubts about the young man in front of him.
Previously, he had only assumed this young person had such high Cultivation; it couldn’t possibly have been Jiang Tang, so he never guessed it would be him.
“Young man, could you be that genius Jiang Tang from our Immortal Sect, the Elder and Master of the Alchemy Hall?”
Jiang Tang… had inadvertently let his own affairs slip to this old man, and now he wondered whether to admit it or not.
He had always conducted himself openly and uprightly, locking away the elder from North City Immortal Sect, perhaps just because he didn’t want him to interfere with his affairs outside.
“Old man, you’re only guessing now?
Aren’t you a bit too slow on the uptake?”
“You, are you really our Elder Jiang Tang from North City Immortal Sect?”
The ancestor from North City Immortal Sect went from skeptical to jubilant; it didn’t matter how this person had previously treated him, as he hadn’t suffered any real harm.
How could there be no harm in their challenges?
Jiang Tang had merely concealed his identity, perhaps only to carry out some tasks without interference.
Jiang Tang… why is this old man so excited?
Just because he knows your identity, should he now call you an ancestor?
Jiang Tang knew the rules; no matter how old you are, if your Cultivation level is lower than another’s, you must address them as a senior.
His Cultivation was higher than that of the old ancestor’s, so of course, he wouldn’t address him in that manner.
According to the rules of North City Immortal Sect, he had already become one of the ancestors of North City Immortal Sect; he simply didn’t want to admit to being that old.
“Old man, now that you know, I don’t have any rewards to give you, so why are you getting so excited?”
“Hahaha, of course, I’m thrilled and excited.
Our North City West Gate has gained another ancestor, and it’s the glory of our North City Immortal Sect!
How could I not be happy?”
The ancestor from North City Immortal Sect was as delighted as a child, jumping and clapping, the very image of a playful old child.
“Old man, you haven’t become a child again in your old age, have you?”
Jiang Tang felt helpless; he couldn’t stay here any longer and needed to go out for some fresh air and give the Dragon King a hard time.
“Elder Jiang Tang, please bestow some Supreme Elixirs on me; I need them so much!”
The ancestor from North City Immortal Sect knew that the other party was from the same Immortal Sect and even more capable than himself.
Could he let the other party call him ancestor?
He could only change his way of addressing himself from ‘this old man’ to ‘I’.
The use of ‘I’ felt a bit awkward, having not referred to himself in such a manner for many years.
But he would slowly get used to it, as he didn’t wish to be called an ancestor all the time.
Being considered of the same generation as the young folk didn’t seem so bad.
It felt nice to be called younger.
Jiang Tang… what a loss, admitting his identity had led to a disadvantage, and although Supreme Elixirs were not valuable to him, they were his creation, made by his Avatar and himself.
“Old man, if you want me to bestow something upon you, surely you have something to trade?
We’re from the same sect, but we still need to follow the rules.
I’m willing to exchange something with you for a lower price!”
Jiang Tang was aspiring to acquire some treasures from the old man’s collection spanning over a thousand years.
