153: Chapter 153 Elder-level Resources and Benefits?!

Leaving Yunqi Courtyard.

Under the attentive guidance of Steward Li.

The group headed towards the Resource Hall.

Along the way.

Steward Li did not forget to dutifully introduce the layout of the Su Family's main residence, his posture completely treating Jiang Yun as a member of the Family's core.

"Son-in-law, please look. To the east is the Martial Arts Practice Area, where Family Disciples usually spar and practice. It is equipped with Advanced protective Formations. That mist-shrouded mountain range to the west is the Beast Taming Garden, where the Family raises and breeds various tamed beasts. One cannot enter it easily."

"The tallest tower over there is the Scripture Pavilion. It houses various beast-taming cultivation methods, beast-taming secret techniques, and records of the continent's lore collected by my Su Family over hundreds of years. One can enter the corresponding levels to read with an Identity Token."

"Right! Son-in-law! In the future, you still need to be a bit careful within the Su Family. Besides the Clan Chief and the four core Elders you just met, you also need to pay attention to two other masters among the Family's main members."

Steward Li lowered his voice slightly.

With a hint of warning.

"They are the Clan Chief's biological brothers, respected in the clan as First Master Su Qinghai and Second Master Su Qingshan. They each manage their own factions and have deep roots within the Family. Even the Clan Chief must sometimes give them some face. If you encounter them in the future, just maintain your etiquette; do not easily get involved in their disputes."

Jiang Yun listened silently.

Keeping this information in mind.

Where there are people, there are schemes and factional disputes.

Inside this Su Family.

It was indeed not a monolithic block.

He nodded, indicating he understood.

During the conversation.

The group arrived in front of a magnificent hall.

Above the hall entrance hung three gold-leafed characters: 'Resource Hall.'

Su Family Disciples were constantly entering and exiting.

It appeared quite busy.

Steward Li was clearly a frequent visitor here.

When the gatekeeping Disciples saw him.

They immediately bowed respectfully.

Entering the hall.

A deacon in charge of daily affairs quickly came forward to meet them.

With a warm smile on his face.

"Steward Li, how do you have the time to come here personally today? Does the Clan Chief have some instructions?"

His gaze then fell upon Jiang Yun and the others behind Steward Li.

Especially lingering for a moment on the young faces.

With a hint of curiosity.

"Who are these people?"

Steward Li chuckled.

Stepping aside to reveal Jiang Yun.

Introducing him.

"Deacon Wang, these are Genius Disciples who just arrived from a branch. Their status is special. The Clan Chief specifically instructed me to personally arrange everything."

"The Clan Chief's instructions? You're personally attending to them?"

Hearing this, Deacon Wang.

His smile turned serious.

The look in his eyes as he watched Jiang Yun changed instantly.

To have Steward Li describe him as having special status and personally accompany him, this youth must surely be extraordinary! He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly led them to a quiet inner room, serving Spiritual Tea.

"Steward Li, whatever needs to be handled, please just give the word."

Deacon Wang's attitude was respectful.

Steward Li took out a prepared list from his robe.

Handing it to Deacon Wang.

"This is their identity information. First, process their Identity Tokens and record their information."

"Alright!"

Deacon Wang took the Jade Slip with both hands.

Opening it to check.

The first thing he saw was Su Qingxue's information.

"C City Branch, Su Qingxue, seventeen years old, Bronze Fifth Tier..."

Deacon Wang nodded inwardly.

"Hmm, a seventeen-year-old Bronze Fifth Tier. In a place like C City, she can indeed be considered a Genius. No wonder she was sent to the Main Family."

He continued reading down.

"Jiang Yun..."

Seeing this name.

He was slightly stunned.

Subconsciously, he looked up at the steady-looking Jiang Yun.

Murmuring in his heart.

"Surname Jiang? Not Su? Could he be a Disciple from another Family? This... did Steward Li take the wrong one?"

He glanced at Steward Li.

Seeing the other's calm expression.

Without any explanation.

He suppressed his doubts.

And continued checking.

"Age, sixteen years old..."

"Hmm, a year younger than that girl. His talent should be slightly inferior... right?"

He thought habitually.

His gaze swept to the Realm information on the next line.

When the words Gold First Tier entered his sight.

Deacon Wang felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

His whole body trembled violently.

The Jade Slip in his hand almost slipped and fell!

"Holy crap! G... Gold First Tier?!"

He cried out in shock.

His voice sounded exceptionally piercing in the quiet room.

Drawing the curious gazes of some Disciples in the outer hall who were handling affairs.

Deacon Wang then realized he had lost his composure.

Hurriedly covering his mouth.

The color instantly drained from his face.

Filled with terror and disbelief.

He lowered his voice.

Leaning in close to Steward Li.

Trembling as he asked.

"Stew... Steward Li! Is... is this information wrong? This Young Master Jiang Yun is... only sixteen years old? Gold First Tier?! How is this possible?!"

Steward Li seemed to have anticipated his reaction.

A proud look of sharing in the glory appeared on his face.

He stroked his short beard.

"Deacon Wang, calm yourself. The information has been verified; it is absolutely true, without any error. Just continue with the processing and do not make a scene."

Deacon Wang took several deep breaths.

Only then did he barely manage to calm his turbulent emotions.

But the hand holding the Jade Slip was still shaking slightly.

He sank his Divine Sense back into the Jade Slip.

His heart was already in an uproar.

A sixteen-year-old Gold Rank!

What kind of concept was that?

Even in the history of the Su Family's Main Family, such a Prodigy had never appeared!

He forced himself to stay calm.

And continued processing.

However.

When his gaze swept over the identity remarks column.

His pupils contracted violently again.

As if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world!

"Ah—! This... this..."

He once again uncontrollably let out a short cry of alarm.

Like a rooster having its neck squeezed.

Steward Li frowned slightly.

Somewhat displeased.

"Again? What is it now?"

Deacon Wang pointed at the Jade Slip.

His fingers were trembling.

His voice carried a hint of a sob.

"Stew... Steward Li! This... this inclusion in the Ancestral Hall Tablet List... was it... was it entered incorrectly?! This... this..."

Ancestral Hall Tablet List!

Is that something a living person can enter?

That was the supreme honor of being listed alongside the ancestors of past generations and the Old Ancestors of great merit, receiving the incense offerings of future generations!

A sixteen-year-old youth.

Even if he was a Gold Rank.

This was too... too ridiculous!

Too exaggerated, wasn't it?

Steward Li looked at his appearance.

Somewhat helpless.

To be honest, he also felt it was a bit too exaggerated.

They simply didn't know that their Clan Chief was taking a massive gamble.

On the surface, however, Steward Li feigned a serious scolding.

"What's the panic! This is the Clan Chief's personal decree; how could there be a mistake? Do what you're told to do, why so many questions! Hurry up and make the Identity Tokens!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Deacon Wang was jolted by the scolding.

He didn't dare ask another word.

Only the look in his eyes as he watched Jiang Yun.

Was now filled with endless awe.

As if he were looking up at a living ancestor.

Jiang Yun was also made somewhat uncomfortable by this gaze.

Deacon Wang began to operate with nimble hands.

Activating the Formations.

Recording the information.

Manufacturing the Identity Tokens.

Throughout the process.

His hands trembled slightly due to excitement and fear.

Soon, two Identity Tokens of special quality, shimmering with a faint light, were completed.

One was engraved with Su Qingxue.

Its edge had silver patterns representing a branch Genius.

The other was engraved with Jiang Yun.

The token was dark gold in color.

On the back, it not only had the Su Family's crest.

But also an extremely subtle, ancient rune representing tablet qualification. The authority and symbolic meaning it contained were worlds apart!

Deacon Wang carefully handed the tokens to Su Qingxue and Jiang Yun respectively.

His attitude was respectful beyond measure.

Once the formalities were done.

Deacon Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Respectfully inquiring.

"Steward Li, the information has been recorded, and the tokens have been made. I wonder, what standard should be used for the monthly resource allocation for Young Miss Su and Young Master Jiang Yun?"

Steward Li was well-prepared.

"For Young Miss Su Qingxue, just issue it according to the highest standard for branch Genius Disciples."

"Understood."

Deacon Wang nodded.

Then he looked at Jiang Yun and asked tentatively.

"Then... what about Young Master Jiang Yun?"

Steward Li heard this.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Deacon Wang.

Word by word, he spoke clearly.

"The Clan Chief's verbal command!"

"For Young Master Jiang Yun, all future resource expenditures shall be at the same level as a Family Elder!"

"Wha... What?! El... Elder-level resource treatment?!"

Deacon Wang's eyes bulged.

His mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

His whole body was like it had been hit with a freezing spell.

Frozen in place!

His mind was a complete blank!
