2: Chapter 2: With my old bones, I'll create a cultivation world for the Jiang family!

Inside the main hall of the Jiang Family.

The Family Head, Jiang Nan, sat in the main seat.

The spirit tea by his side had long since turned cold.

His eyes were bloodshot, revealing his exhaustion.

On the grand armchair to his right, Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan sat with his eyes half-closed.

This only Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in the Jiang Family was permeated with a grey, decaying Death Qi.

His vitality was fading, and his Lifespan was nearing its end.

For the sake of the Jiang Family, he dared not gamble on the one-in-a-hundred chance of the Foundation Establishment breakthrough.

He could only endure, acting as the Family's final pillar of stability.

In the shadows at the end of the table sat the young man, Young Master Jiang Chen.

With a three-element Spiritual Root Aptitude, he was thirty years old and at Level 7 Qi Refining.

He had once been the hope that the Jiang Family had exhausted all resources to cultivate.

At this moment, he hung his head low, like an old man who had lost his faith.

"Was the matter regarding Jiang Feng handled?" Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan opened his eyes.

His voice sounded somewhat parched.

"It is done." Jiang Nan's voice was dry. "Last night, he consummated the marriage with Su Wan."

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan closed his eyes again.

"After sixty years of bitter cultivation, he has finally accepted his fate. Marrying a Mortal woman and living a stable life is for the best."

Jiang Nan stood up.

"Jiang Feng has worked harder than anyone! If only the Family had enough resources..."

"Enough." Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan interrupted him.

"The Cultivator world does not care about hard work; it only looks at Spiritual Root talent."

"With a mixed Five Elements Spiritual Root, at sixty years old and only Level 5 Qi Refining, this is his fate."

Jiang Nan's chest heaved, and for a long while, he could not utter a word.

He sighed and slumped back into his chair.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

They were neither hurried nor slow.

The three of them turned their heads in unison to look at the entrance of the main hall.

The person who entered was Jiang Feng.

He held his lower back with one hand, his gait slightly unsteady.

There was exhaustion on his face.

But his eyes were exceptionally bright.

The caution and timidity of the past sixty years were completely gone.

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan sat up straight, looking at Jiang Feng, who was different from usual, with suspicion in his heart.

"Second brother, are you feeling unwell? Sit down and speak." Jiang Nan quickly walked down from the main seat.

Jiang Feng did not take a seat.

His gaze swept over the three people in the main hall.

His eldest brother, Jiang Nan, had protected him for sixty years.

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan, though stubborn, was devoted to the public good.

Young Master Jiang Chen was once the hope of the Jiang Family.

These three were the core of the Jiang Family and the foundation he could trust.

"No need to sit."

Jiang Feng spoke, his voice steady.

"Eldest brother, Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan, Young Master Jiang Chen."

"I have come today to bring the Jiang Family a stroke of fortune."

Young Master Jiang Chen, in the shadows, twitched the corner of his mouth.

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.

"Jiang Feng, if you are feeling unwell, go back and rest."

Jiang Feng did not explain.

He raised his right hand.

His Divine Sense connected to the System space.

"Clatter!"

A pile of round, plump Medicinal Pills appeared out of thin air.

They crashed onto the Eight Immortals table nearby.

There were exactly ninety-nine of them.

Piled up like a small hill.

A rich Medicinal Pill fragrance instantly filled the main hall.

Jiang Nan was the closest.

He inhaled just one breath of the fragrance.

His Level 8 Qi Refining Bottleneck, which had been stagnant for many years, faintly felt like it was loosening.

He stared at the pile of Medicinal Pills on the table.

Each one was perfectly round, with spiritual light flowing on the surface.

There were no Impurities.

"This... this is..."

Jiang Nan reached out, his hand trembling in mid-air.

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan stood up abruptly.

The spiritual power that had been silent within him for many years roared into motion.

He took one step to the table.

His withered palm grabbed three Medicinal Pills.

He brought them up to his eyes.

"A spirit gathering pill!"

"A top-grade spirit gathering pill!"

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, whose Golden Core Sect treasury did you steal from?!"

Although this sounded absurd, with so many high-quality spirit gathering pills, none of the three major Cultivator families in Jiangyuan City could produce even one of such quality, let alone nearly a hundred.

Young Master Jiang Chen in the corner stood up.

He looked at that pile of glowing Medicinal Pills.

With these, he was confident he could attempt the breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining before the age of fifty.

"Second Uncle!" Young Master Jiang Chen shouted.

Jiang Nan grabbed Jiang Feng's arm.

His grip was extremely tight.

"Second brother, is the origin of these Medicinal Pills legitimate?"

"If you have provoked a Sect, leave quickly; I, your eldest brother, will take the fall for you!"

Jiang Feng patted the back of Jiang Nan's hand in return.

"Rest assured, eldest brother, the origin is clean."

"I consummated the marriage last night and accidentally awakened an ancient Bloodline Legacy."

"As long as I produce offspring and expand the Family line, I can receive the nourishment of the world's Luck and be bestowed with miraculous treasures."

Jiang Feng packaged the existence of the System as a Bloodline Legacy.

The System was too outrageous, and it was not suitable for others to know.

Jiang Nan's mouth hung open.

The spirit gathering pill in Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan's hand nearly fell to the ground.

"Ancient Bloodline? Getting rewards for having children?"

How absurd, unheard of.

But the one hundred top-grade spirit gathering pills on the table were truly emitting spiritual light.

"So..." Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan swallowed his saliva, "Did you conceive last night?"

"Su Wan is the one who conceived." Jiang Feng corrected him.

"Good, good, good." Jiang Nan slapped his thigh hard.

"Su Wan is a great contributor to our Jiang Family!"

"I will immediately send people to buy the best Spirit Beast meat to nourish her body!"

Jiang Feng raised his hand to stop his excited eldest brother.

"Eldest brother, don't be in such a hurry."

"These spirit gathering pills are just an appetizer."

The movements of the three of them froze at the same time.

Nearly a hundred top-grade spirit gathering pills are just an appetizer?

Then what is the main course?

Jiang Feng flipped his wrist.

Three snow-white Medicinal Pills floated quietly in his palm.

No Medicinal Pill fragrance leaked out.

No spiritual light flickered.

They looked like ordinary white mud pellets.

But the moment these Medicinal Pills appeared.

The spiritual power within Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan completely stopped circulating.

His withered fingers tightened abruptly.

"This is..." Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan's voice was very low.

Jiang Feng looked at the mortal shedding pill in his palm.

"This pill is called the mortal shedding pill."

"It has only one effect."

He raised his head and swept his gaze over the three people in front of him.

"It allows a Mortal born without a Spiritual Root to awaken a Spiritual Root."

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan's figure swayed, and he grabbed the edge of the table.

Jiang Nan took a half step back, his back pressing against a wooden pillar.

Those without Spiritual Roots are all Mortals.

Never had they heard of anything that could allow a Mortal to grow a Spiritual Root.

This was defying the heavens and changing one's fate.

If news of this Medicinal Pill leaked out.

Let alone Jiangyuan City.

Even the Nascent Soul old monsters of the Thirteen Provinces of the Spirit Realm would swarm over and tear the Jiang Family to shreds.

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan grabbed Jiang Feng's wrist.

Madness and fear were intertwined on his old face.

"Seal the news! Even if you die, you must not say a word!"

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan turned his head abruptly to look at Young Master Jiang Chen.

"Young Master Jiang Chen! If you dare to leak even half a word about today's events, I, this old man, will personally extract your soul and light you as a sky lantern!"

Young Master Jiang Chen did not waste words.

He pulled out the dagger at his waist and slashed his palm.

Fresh blood dripped onto the bluestone bricks.

"Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan, rest assured!" Young Master Jiang Chen's eyes were full of ruthlessness. "If I leak even half a sentence, may I be struck by lightning! Whoever dares to target Jiang Feng, I, Young Master Jiang Chen, will be the first to skin him alive!"

Jiang Nan walked forward.

Looking at Jiang Feng, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

"Second brother, how do you intend to handle these Medicinal Pills?"

"Naturally, they are for the Family."

"As long as I continue to reproduce, such Medicinal Pills will continue to flow endlessly."

Jiang Feng looked at the three of them.

"Eldest brother, Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan, I need the Family's help."

"From today on, all of the Jiang Family's resources will be tilted towards me."

"I want to take concubines."

Fourth Ancestor Jiang Yuan frowned tightly.

They had just said they needed to seal the news, and now taking concubines with great fanfare would inevitably attract attention.

Jiang Feng saw his concerns.

"In the name of the Family."

"Use the excuse that I have become completely decadent and want to enjoy my old age to help me take concubines."

"I want to make the Jiang Family rise and become an eternal, long-lasting clan."

Jiang Feng tucked his hands into his sleeves.

"With these old bones of mine."

"I shall give birth to an Immortal world for the Jiang Family."
