Chapter 219: The Adaptable City Lord Ding, and Jiang Daoxuan's Smile

Not long after.

Relying on the powerful comprehension of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus, combined with the influence of the Nuwa Visualization Map, his spiritual sense far surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator.

Therefore, when cultivating this Nine Revolutions Yin-Yang Art, Jiang Daoxuan immediately felt like a fish in water, his progress astonishingly swift.

In no time at all, he stirred the power of the ultimate yin, tempering his spiritual sense and swiftly transforming it into Supreme Yin spiritual sense!

Once the Nine Revolutions Yin-Yang Art is cultivated to its utmost, it can even rival an Emperor-grade technique, so naturally its cultivation difficulty goes without saying.

Even he could only complete one revolution within a short period.

By his estimate, completing the second revolution would require at least another month.

However, even having completed only one revolution—

Jiang Daoxuan keenly sensed that the strength of his spiritual sense had already surged fivefold.

Just one revolution had brought about such a tremendous transformation.

One could well imagine—once all nine revolutions were complete, to what extent would his spiritual sense surge?

Not to mention, once he broke through to the Sun Wheel realm, he could also master the equally terrifying Solar Origin Power!

Feeling the changes within himself, Jiang Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.

In such an extremely dangerous fantastical world, only by possessing sufficient strength could one obtain a sufficient sense of security.

As his thoughts churned, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Within the Supreme Yin spiritual sense he emanated, he suddenly sensed the Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang walking into the hall.

At this moment, feeling the powerful aura radiating from Jiang Daoxuan,

Jiang Hongguang's face was moved, full of astonishment.

He secretly remarked that the Clan Head had grown stronger again.

Yet he did not know that the other party had already broken through an entire major realm, reaching the Moon Wheel.

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan rose from the meditation cushion, turned to look at the Grand Elder, and said softly, "What is it?"

Jiang Hongguang came back to his senses, immediately took out a letter, and presented it with both hands: "Just now, City Lord Ding sent someone to deliver this letter. That person said it was extremely important and required your personal review."

"Oh?"

Jiang Daoxuan let out a soft exclamation of surprise, feeling mildly curious.

He then released a tendril of Origin Power to lift the letter from Jiang Hongguang's hands.

The letter hovered in midair, stopping before his eyes.

At a thought from Jiang Daoxuan, the letter opened on its own, revealing dense, ink-black small characters.

At this moment, Jiang Hongguang kept his head lowered, silent.

Accompanying the various incredible battle achievements his Clan Head had created,

his current prestige was already far beyond comparison with the past!

Even without emanating any aura, that overwhelming presence of boundless authority still exerted tremendous pressure.

But just at this moment, a burst of hearty laughter rang out: "Hahaha, interesting. Our City Lord Ding is indeed one who knows when to yield and when to advance—a truly rare talent...."

As the words fell, Jiang Hongguang's expression relaxed, yet he couldn't help feeling a touch of confusion, completely at a loss.

It was not until Jiang Daoxuan handed the letter to him.

Jiang Hongguang brought the letter before his eyes and examined it carefully.

Gradually, his expression began to turn strange, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

The matter of his Clan Head annihilating the Tang Family of Tiandou had long become an untransmitted secret of the entire Jiang Family.

Therefore, he felt no surprise whatsoever at the arrival of the Tiandou Prefecture envoy.

Rather, it was City Lord Ding's choice that was truly somewhat unexpected.

Every line between the words revealed a yearning toward the Jiang Family, an eager desire to serve the Clan Head and become a hound under the Jiang Family's banner.

It seemed the other party did not wish to serve the Tiandou Prefecture Lord, but rather wanted to transfer allegiance under his own Clan Head!

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan's laughter ceased, and he asked casually, "How are things at the ancestral estate recently?"

Because Jiang Daoxuan had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, most of the family's affairs had been temporarily handled by Jiang Hongguang.

As the Jiang Family's Grand Steward, he naturally had a thorough understanding of all the many matters that had occurred recently.

After pondering for several breaths, Jiang Hongguang cupped his fist and said, "Not long ago, news came from the ancestral estate that City Lord Ding had personally dipped into his own pocket to fund a renovation of the ancestral estate...."

Jiang Daoxuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "City Lord Ding has shown some thoughtfulness. Since that is the case, prepare gifts tomorrow and send Jiang Chen down the mountain. After visiting the City Lord's residence, he may also go pay a visit to those people left behind at the ancestral estate...."

"Clan Head, how much of a gift would be appropriate?"

"Then reward him with three Marrow-Washing Pills. Working for our Jiang Family naturally warrants giving him some sweetening."

Over the past few months, accompanied by frequent triggers of green or blue grade investments,

he had obtained a large quantity of elixirs that would be extremely rare in the outside world.

And these elixirs were stored by Jiang Daoxuan in the family treasure vault, convenient for the Grand Elder to distribute as rewards.

At the same time, because the Divine Fluid was too precious, it was inconvenient to directly exchange it for spirit stones.

Therefore, the Jiang Family's various expenses nowadays were generally covered by using these rare elixirs to establish trade relations with surrounding powers.

Exchanging small quantities of elixirs for spirit stones, then using these spirit stones to purchase various supplies to maintain the Jiang Family's operations.

In short, for the current financially robust Jiang Family, three Marrow-Washing Pills were nothing at all—equivalent to merely three candy beans.

But for City Lord Ding, who was only at the Purple Mansion realm, they were genuine, solid precious treasures!

At this moment, hearing the Clan Head's instructions, Jiang Hongguang already understood what to do and immediately responded, "As you command!"

Having said that, he immediately turned and left.

After the Grand Elder had completely left the family great hall,

Jiang Daoxuan's face revealed a playful expression.

He felt no worry or surprise at the exposure of his identity.

Even his initial arrival at the Tang family of Tiandou Prefecture and his decision to release the Bai family members had been deliberate.

Once the matter simmered and his identity was revealed, it would be enough to make the entire Cangwu Jiang family famous throughout Tiandou Prefecture!

After all, he deeply understood the principle: "Strike one punch to avoid a hundred."

Thus, in his eyes, annihilating the Tang family of Tiandou served not only to eradicate the threat but also to make an example of one to warn a hundred!

Without such deterrence, always lurking and developing in obscurity would cause the family's reputation to remain unseen.

When clan members ventured out for cultivation trials and fell into danger, even revealing their name would be useless, unable to instill fear.

But if the Cangwu Jiang family's name was large enough, it could become a protective umbrella for all clan members who ventured out.

As long as clan members stepped out for cultivation trials bearing the name of Cangwu Jiang.

They would surely gain countless advantages, causing enemies to fear them, hesitate to offend, and thus avoid disaster!

This was one of his goals!

Then, Jiang Daoxuan calmed his mind and turned his gaze toward the hall's entrance.

After breaking through to the Moon Wheel Realm, he was no longer in a hurry to cultivate and planned to step outside for a while.

As the head of the clan, if he remained sealed in seclusion and ignored clan affairs, what kind of leader would that be?

Thinking of this, Jiang Daoxuan smiled faintly, and in an instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he stood atop the very peak of the clan's grand hall.
