Chapter 135

The clansman on duty cupped his hands in acknowledgment, then turned and walked out of the great hall.

Not long after.

A series of footsteps came from the hall entrance.

Jiang Daoxuan was about to rise when he turned his head to look.

But just at that moment, the system's prompt suddenly rang out in his mind!

【Ding~ Red-grade clansman detected. Host may initiate an investment.】

Red?

A trace of surprise surfaced in Jiang Daoxuan's eyes.

One had to know that the two current Heaven's Favorites in the clan were only gold-grade at best.

What extraordinary qualities did this clansman, who had reached the red investment grade, possess?

With a heart full of intense curiosity, Jiang Daoxuan slowly rose from the meditation cushion and turned his head to look behind him.

At the same time, Jiang Han followed Jiang Yan into the great hall, his heart uneasy.

He instinctively raised his head and glanced ahead, just in time to see Jiang Daoxuan's gaze sweep over.

Their eyes met.

Those deep eyes, as if capable of seeing through everything, made Jiang Han's heart clench tight!

At this moment, for some unknown reason, a strange feeling suddenly welled up from deep within his heart.

It was as if he had been seen through, with no secrets left to hide!

So this is the Clan Chief? Why does he feel far more terrifying than the rumors said?

Facing this sudden, awful feeling, Jiang Han silently lowered his head, no longer daring to meet that gaze, and could only mutter softly in his heart.

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan paid little attention to Jiang Han's expression, instead placing all his focus on the illusory panel before him.

【Name: Jiang Han】

【Cultivation Base: Bone-Forging Realm, Ninth Layer】

【Root Bone: Inferior】

【Comprehension: Heavenly Prodigy】

【Fortune: Red (ill fortune turns to blessing)】

【Talent: Mortal Body】

【Fortuitous Encounter: Reincarnation of the incomplete spirit artifact of a mysterious supreme treasure; obtained the inheritance of the Huang Quan Great Emperor; mastered the Huang Quan Demonic Art, capable of plundering others' essence, qi, and spirit to nourish oneself and accelerate cultivation】

Gazing at Jiang Han's lavish panel, Jiang Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, greatly surprised.

He had not expected that this red-grade Heaven's Favorite clansman possessed only an inferior root bone aptitude.

One had to know that among the entire Cangwu Jiang Clan, one could not even find five people with root bones this poor!

After all, ninety-nine percent of Jiang Clan members had middle-grade root bone aptitude, the level of ordinary people.

Yet the other's comprehension was extremely high, conspicuously reaching the Heavenly Prodigy level.

One should know that even Jiang Chen, who had already completed his metamorphosis, was only at this level — one could see how outstanding the other's comprehension was.

As for the Huang Quan Demonic Art the other had mastered, it made Jiang Daoxuan's expression gradually turn strange.

This kind of demonic art that plundered others' essence, qi, and spirit to nourish one's own cultivation, once leaked out—

One could well imagine just how tremendous an upheaval it would cause!

At that time, with countless cultivators as his food, Jiang Han would likely be destined to become a great demon hated by the whole world, drawing siege and slaughter from countless factions!

However, even though Jiang Daoxuan was aware of the consequences, he still had no intention of interfering, of making Jiang Han abandon the Huang Quan Demonic Art and switch to another cultivation method.

After all, every clansman had their own path to walk; he had no interest in meddling in such things.

While his thoughts churned, the system's prompt rang out once again.

【Ding~ Current target: investment can trigger a red-grade return.】

【Invest one strand of Jin Wu Qi, obtain one strand of Sword Saint Power.】

【Invest a Tongxuan Golden Core, obtain special physique: Innate Sword Body.】

【Invest Earth-grade top-tier cultivation method "Great Sun Body Refinement Art," obtain special divine ability "Great Collapse Art."】

【Invest Earth-grade top-tier martial skill "Purple Thunder Palm," obtain special physique: Lei Lingti.】

Gazing at the rich rewards before him, Jiang Daoxuan smiled, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the members of the branch family before him.
