Chapter 189: Fortune

Jiang Family, God King Hall.

In a not-so-large incense hall, Chen Ansheng sat at the head of the table, while Jiang Buxu and Jiang Wentian were seated to his left and right.

“Young Master, why not eliminate Feng Yan just now?” Jiang Buxu asked.

Chen Ansheng calmly took a sip of tea and said, “What does it matter to kill a minor minion like him? Can he turn the situation around? Besides, leaving him alive allows me to torment him, which is one aspect, but I also have greater plans for him.”

The two nodded slightly, and Jiang Wentian spoke up, “Young Master, is leaving him alive meant to use him as a hostage?”

“Heh.” Chen Ansheng smiled, “I have no need for such petty tricks. Did you notice the azure shield that Feng Yan created earlier?”

Jiang Wentian nodded and replied, “That’s a small world created using Spirit Stones. Generally speaking, only those in the Great Saint realm and above can create such a construct.”

The Spirit Stones referenced by Jiang Wentian were the same as the Immortal Crystals.

“This is the real reason I’m keeping Feng Yan alive,” Chen Ansheng paused and instructed, “You both increase the number of people to torment him. When his will is completely broken, extract the secret method to create that small world from him. Make sure there are no mistakes.”

The two finally understood that Chen Ansheng’s ultimate goal was to create a small world.

“Alright, I’ll personally order someone to do this. Does Young Master have any other instructions?” Jiang Buxu stood up and cupped his hands.

“You may go. I will send you messages if anything arises,” Chen Ansheng replied.

Jiang Buxu respectfully left.

“Younger Master, even if we obtain the method to create a small world, we won’t have enough resources to sustain it. Moreover, to exert strength in the small world, one must cultivate to a certain realm in the Ancient Spirit Realm, which is quite laborious,” Jiang Wentian said.

Chen Ansheng stood up, took out a handful of Immortal Crystals from his storage bag, and scattered them in front of Jiang Wentian. “Take a look at what this is.”

Jiang Wentian’s expression changed; were these not the Spirit Stones?

There were at least a hundred of them floating in front of him!

In his view, this was no small amount; he had secretly saved up over ten thousand and had only managed to acquire a mere twenty or so himself.

Even the Feng Family, having sought help from several God King families multiple times, had only managed to collect about a thousand.

“I didn’t expect Young Master to have so many Spirit Stones!”

“Is it a lot?”

Chen Ansheng waved his hand again, and a vast number of Immortal Crystals rushed out, amounting to tens of thousands.

“Ah, this!”

Jiang Wentian was left speechless, staring at the overwhelming number of Immortal Crystals in shock.

“So much! It’s just too much!”

After a long while, Jiang Wentian regained his composure, his face flushed as he reached out to touch the floating Immortal Crystals.

It should be noted that Immortal Crystals not only served as resources but could also be exchanged for divine currency in this world. One Immortal Crystal could at least be exchanged for one hundred thousand divine coins.

This enormous sum was enough to buy a piece of divine land and establish a God King family!

At this moment, Jiang Wentian’s heart raced with excitement; he vaguely felt that he had made the right gamble on his family’s future!

After all, if it weren’t for those of imperial lineage, he couldn’t think of anyone else who could afford such extravagance.

If Chen Ansheng truly came from an imperial lineage, then the minor Feng Family was nothing to worry about—not even worth a hair!

“Prosperity and demise indeed lie in a single thought; my Jiang Family is about to rise, hahaha.”

Jiang Wentian inwardly rejoiced, nearly bursting into laughter.

Chen Ansheng collected most of the Immortal Crystals, leaving two thousand behind, saying, “You may use this part as a meeting gift for the Jiang Family.”

Jiang Wentian sensed the quantity and instantly felt a shockwave in his mind!

Two thousand Spirit Stones!

No wonder he remained so calm when Jiang Wentian gave him one as a meeting gift; even if it were refined and wasted, he wouldn’t care. It turned out the fool was himself.

“Such a grand gift, how could an old man like me dare to accept it?”

Jiang Wentian’s face turned red; he was eager yet felt too embarrassed to take it, after all, the amount was too substantial.

“I have a rule here: if you do not accept what is offered, it means you are not giving me face.”

Chen Ansheng said lightly.

“Yes, yes, yes, I understand. On behalf of the Jiang Family, I thank Young Master!”

Jiang Wentian felt panic upon hearing this, quickly bowing and accepting the Immortal Crystals, his heart overwhelmed with gratitude.

Never would he have imagined that the Jiang Family would have such an opportunity!

Speaking of opportunities, Jiang Wentian remembered the Tenth Divine Maiden, Jiang Chuyu, who was the first to make contact with this extraordinary young master.

If Jiang Chuyu had been rude or impolite at that time, this opportunity might have turned into a disaster. Thinking about it, Jiang Chuyu had made a great contribution!

“Young Master, you must be tired today. Why not let this old man call the girl Chuyu to serve you and help you rest?”

This sudden suggestion caught Chen Ansheng off guard.

To send someone to serve him rest?

Was this world so direct?

“This… this doesn’t seem appropriate; after all, she is the Jiang Family’s divine maiden and shouldn’t be treated as a maid.”

Chen Ansheng hesitated for a moment.

“You are being too humble, Young Master. It would be a great fortune for our Jiang Family’s children to have the opportunity to serve you. I am worried that you might dislike it,” Jiang Wentian said with a smile.

Chen Ansheng slowly nodded, “Very well, you may ask Jiang Chuyu for her opinion, but do not threaten her in any way.”

“Young Master’s integrity is commendable; I understand,” Jiang Wentian immediately took his leave to relay the message to Jiang Chuyu.

…

In the Tenth Divine Maiden’s cave.

Jiang Chuyu was sitting at the cave entrance, gazing blankly at the blue sky and white clouds.

Suddenly, a powerful aura descended, startling her awake. When she looked up, she realized it was her grandfather, Jiang Wentian.

Jiang Chuyu hurriedly stood up and bowed, asking, “Not knowing you have come, what is your command?”

Jiang Wentian approached Jiang Chuyu with a smile and said, “Chuyu, I hope I did not disturb your practice.”

Jiang Chuyu felt a jolt of surprise; when did her grandfather become this polite? In the past, he always seemed cold and fierce from a distance, either scolding someone or on the way to scold someone.

“No, not at all.” Jiang Chuyu’s heart raced inexplicably, sensing something significant was about to unfold.

Jiang Wentian nodded slowly and suddenly sighed deeply, saying, “This time, that little brat Feng Yan has caused chaos in our Jiang Family, thanks to Young Master Chen…”

Jiang Wentian rambled on a lot, but the conclusion was clear: our Jiang Family must rely on Young Master Chen.

Jiang Chuyu listened, feeling that her grandfather had something he wanted to say but was hesitant; she urged, “Grandfather, if there is something, just let me know.”

“Good.” Jiang Wentian nodded seriously and said, “Young Master Chen is in need of someone to care for him; are you willing to go?”

“Really?”

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Jiang Chuyu’s beautiful eyes, and she unconsciously showed a look of joy.

Noticing her slip of emotions, her face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and whispered, “I would be very willing, but what if Young Master Chen finds me clumsy?”

“Hahaha.” Jiang Wentian saw through Jiang Chuyu’s thoughts and could not help but laugh heartily. If this girl married Young Master Chen, the future of the Jiang Family would be secure. “Young Master has agreed as well. You should cherish this opportunity.”

“Ah?” Jiang Chuyu was filled with incredible joy, her heart racing as she became flustered, “But… how should I serve Young Master? Will he think I’m awkward?”

Jiang Wentian shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, “No need to worry, I will arrange someone to teach you some secret techniques, ensuring that everything will be fine.”

“Who?” Jiang Chuyu blinked curiously.

“Du Jiuniang. It is said that she possesses extraordinary skills, so you must be eager to learn,” Jiang Wentian said seriously.

Jiang Chuyu’s face turned red as if she may bleed, and she murmured, “Du Jiuniang… isn’t she the one who specializes in… ah, how embarrassing!”
