Chapter 6 Jiang Mansion
Yin-Yang Longevity Elixir.
According to legend, it was made from 3,681 kinds of immortal medicines, refined over 30 years by the Dao artifact "Cloud Thunder Heavenly Wind Furnace", and personally crafted by the sect leader.
One pill can increase one's lifespan by ten cycles of sixty years and can also help one enter the realm of supernatural powers.
The sect leader only crafted six in total, each one a rare treasure, a sacred artifact of the sect.
So as soon as these words were spoken, the square of the Immortal Academy erupted in discussion, with everyone's eyes lighting up.
After the five Taoists finished speaking, they took to the air and returned to the Feathered Heavenly Palace deep within.
The other disciples had already huddled together in twos and threes, discussing how to get to Blue Moon Kingdom.
The Blue Moon Kingdom is tens of thousands of miles away from the Feathered Gate; even a thousand-mile horse would need ten days and ten nights to travel there.
Of course, this is just what worldly people do. Immortal disciples with connections can borrow cranes to fly from the various True Transmission Peaks, and they can arrive in just two or three days.
Moreover, you can rest along the way.
Jiang Yuan is also making preparations to go to the Blue Moon Kingdom.
"Jiang Yuan, what are you planning to do?" Fang Han asked, bewildered, as he saw Jiang Yuan directing the flying crane to fly to other places.
This bird isn't going to the Blue Moon Kingdom, is it?
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Let's go home."
"Or to be more precise, it's returning to China."
He also has a background; he didn't spring from a stone. The place he comes from is called the Southern Wu Kingdom.
It is a small country.
He was adopted by a general there, fought his way through the border army, and obtained some opportunities to come to the Feathered Kingdom to participate in the outer disciple assessment.
"Fang Han, how did you get the opportunity to participate in the outer disciple assessment?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.
Fang Han honestly replied, "I was originally a stable boy in the Fang family, but I was appreciated by the young lady and had the opportunity to participate in the outer disciple assessment."
"Well, you're better off than me. I managed to come to the Feathered Ascension Sect because I snatched an Ascension Token from the Tomb of the Dead."
Jiang Yuan sighed. He stood on the flying crane, gazing at a line in the sky. Opportunities were everywhere in the Xuanhuang Great World.
The Feathered Ascension Sect doesn't only recruit members of the royal family as disciples; their elders can also exchange contributions for an Ascension Token.
Then their descendants will be able to rely on this Ascension Token to join the Feathered Gate and turn the tide.
Unfortunately, the tomb he encountered already had a "our family has fallen" feel to it.
So at that time, he did everything he could to snatch the Ascension Token from among a group of tomb raiders.
Then he immediately ran to the Feathered Ascension Sect to participate in the external disciple assessment.
After all, that was his only chance in his life.
Fang Han scratched his head. Was the outside world really that wonderful? He had only ever heard about these things in some folk tales and legends.
"So, are we going to continue tomb raiding?" Fang Han asked.
"No, we're going to rob someone," Jiang Yuan laughed.
"I discovered this tomb with a group of rivals. I stole the box containing the Ascension Token, and my rivals took the rest of the treasures."
Fang Han breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a robbery, something he was very familiar with.
But he wasn't familiar with tomb raiding.
The two people and the crane flew over mountains and rivers for a full three thousand five hundred miles, and finally saw a city appear at dusk.
The city was brightly lit, dazzling in the night, and occasionally elite soldiers stood guard on the city walls, their eyes sweeping across the wilderness outside the city like tigers.
But they didn't know that birds could fly overhead.
Jiang Yuan and Fang Han rode flying cranes to a mansion in the east of the city, which was inscribed with the words "Jiang Mansion".
"Who goes there?!"
A furious shout rang out, and dozens of soldiers armed with crossbows appeared inside the Jiang residence, drawing their bows and aiming them at Jiang Yuan and Fang Han.
There was also a middle-aged general, with a powerful and imposing gait, whose expression changed slightly upon seeing Jiang Yuan's appearance.
The other soldiers only then recognized Jiang Yuan and exclaimed in surprise, "It's General Jiang!"
"What? General Jiang? He's a traitor! He's the one who killed General Jiang!" the middle-aged general shouted angrily.
"Jiang Yuan, you killed the Great General, and now you dare to come back? Are you courting death?!"
Jiang Yuan ignored him and instead looked at every plant and tree in the mansion with a touch of nostalgia.
The general who adopted him was the owner of this mansion, but that was in the past.
He should now be considered dead at his hands, and his memorial tablet should be enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Thinking of this, he said to Fang Han, "Come with me to a place first."
Fang Han nodded. As for Jiang Yuan killing the general, he didn't believe Jiang Yuan would do such a thing.
Even if he did, he doesn't know that general, so why should he bother with him?
Inside the ancestral hall.
Smoke filled the air, and the tablet at the front of the memorial was dedicated to General Jiang Lingkong. The incense was burning brightly, suggesting that a grand ceremony had been held just before today.
Jiang Yuan took out three incense sticks, lit them on the candle flame, and bowed to his godfather.
Dozens of elite soldiers and a middle-aged general watched warily from outside.
They dared not stop him, because Jiang Yuan had already reached the Divine Might Realm before he left.
He is currently only at the Inner Strength Realm, one realm lower than him, and is no match for him.
"Have you already notified General Jiang Qianyun?" the middle-aged general asked in a low voice.
Just as the soldier was about to answer, a commotion arose behind him, and a burly man in his thirties walked over.
He said indifferently, "No need, I'm already here."
"General!"
"Greetings, General!"
The soldiers quickly and respectfully made way for them.
Jiang Qianyun ignored them completely, instead squinting at Jiang Yuan, who was offering incense inside the ancestral hall.
"Jiang Yuan, I didn't expect you to dare to come back so quickly."
"But it was no use. You have no idea what kind of opportunity I had in that cemetery."
"There are Essence Pills there, enough to push my cultivation to the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm!"
"Now I possess the strength of five horses, and even five horses could not tear me apart. Your return this time means certain death!"
Jiang Qianyun sneered, stretched out his arms, and a powerful force emanated from them, as if the air itself was about to burst.
Fang Han's expression changed slightly. Peak of the Physical Body Realm?
He looked at Jiang Yuan, wondering how to fight this.
Jiang Yuan snapped out of his reverie while offering incense. He looked at Jiang Qianyun, then, as if introducing him to Fang Han, said:
"This man is Jiang Qianyun, my godfather's eldest son. He is quite mean-spirited and thinks I will hinder him from becoming the Grand General."
"They deliberately poisoned my godfather and tried to send troops to hunt me down."
"Then, by chance, we stumbled upon a mysterious tomb with supernatural powers. There, I obtained the Ascension Token, and Jiang Qianyun and the others moved all the other treasures back to the mansion."
"Now they're trying to pin the blame for my godfather's death on me."
Jiang Yuan said softly.
Jiang Qianyun's expression changed drastically, and he coldly retorted, "Nonsense! You killed my father, and now you want to slander me? What else do you have to say?!"
"Yes," Jiang Yuan recalled.
"But my godfather is dead, and I no longer care to distinguish right from wrong."
