Yang Wu rejected the Jiang Clan Head's request on the spot.
He didn't give him any face at all.
The Jiang Clan Head was also stunned for a moment, then he suddenly said, "I forgot that you are going to participate in the Thousand Saints Assembly. Since it's like this, help me refine ten more cauldrons, and I'll let you cultivate. I can also give you some pointers in exchange."
"It's not impossible to refine ten cauldrons, but I want half of the divine pills for each cauldron, or else I won't refine." Yang Wu replied.
"I can't give you a single divine pill." The Jiang Clan Head affirmed, and then he said, "You will leave this place in the future, and it will be very difficult for you to come back. I can prepare more materials for you, and you can refine in other places in the future. Don't talk about conditions with me, or else I will get angry."
"Okay, deal, but I have to refine these ten cauldrons of divine pills in batches. You saw it too, every time I refine a cauldron of divine pills, I have to risk my life. If I'm not careful, I will be struck to death by divine lightning. You can't bear to see me like this, right?"
"Fine, say that within this half a year, according to you, where did you get this cauldron from? Can you lend it to me to take a look?"
"The cauldron is the lifeblood of an alchemist, I can't easily let you see it."
"That's true, but this seems to be my clan's inheritance cauldron, there shouldn't be any problem if I take a look." The Jiang Clan Head said, and directly grabbed the cauldron, and Yang Wu couldn't keep it in time even if he wanted to.
Yang Wu wanted to resist, but there was a powerful force that enveloped his body, suppressing him until he couldn't move.
"Don't worry, I won't take away someone's beloved." The Jiang Clan Head said faintly.
Immediately after, he lightly touched the bronze cauldron, and looked at every part of it. Tears flowed down his face as he said, "This is my clan's cauldron, we finally have the chance to meet again."
In the next moment, blood essence flew out from between his brows, and directly dripped into the cauldron.
The bronze cauldron's spirit appeared.
A bald old man carrying a walking stick appeared with a kind smile, and muttered, "There's actually a living descendant of the Jiang Clan, not bad, not bad."
The Jiang Clan Head knelt down and said, "Jiang Teng greets the ancestor."
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm not an ancestor of your Jiang Clan. I'm just an artifact spirit."
Then, he looked at Yang Wu and said, "Little Master, are you being controlled by this guy?"
Yang Wu helplessly smiled bitterly. The strength of the Jiang Clan's clan leader was too strong, and he was unable to resist.
"Ancestral Artifact Spirit, you are the divine cauldron of my clan. How did you end up in the hands of others? Can our clan's Jiang Clan's Alchemy Manual be passed down? "Jiang Teng asked.
The Artifact Spirit replied, "I have already recognized him as my Master. The Jiang Clan is no longer related to me. However, your Alchemy Codex is still here. However, whether or not it can be passed on still depends on whether the Little Master agrees or not. You should let him go first."
As he spoke, the bronze cauldron shook slightly, and Jiang Teng's restraint on Yang Wu lost its effect.
The origin of this bronze cauldron was astonishing, and its grade was so high that it exceeded Yang Wu's expectations.
Jiang Teng didn't know how to respond.
This was their clan's cauldron, and it actually recognized someone else as its Master. Could it be that he really had to kill Yang Wu and take the cauldron back?
However, the cauldron's Artifact Spirit had awakened and didn't seem to allow him to do so.
"You were once from the Jiang Clan?" Yang Wu asked curiously.
"Not really. Jiang Na just coincidentally obtained me and became my Master. I gave him the inheritance and created the name 'Emperor Jiang'." The Artifact Spirit said lightly.
Jiang Teng was stunned when he heard this.
Yang Wu was also stunned.
Just how ancient was this Artifact Spirit?
Jiang Teng came back to his senses and asked, "Where is my ancestor? Could it be that he has already fallen? "
"The Heavenly Dao is heartless, and the path to Immortality is long. If one doesn't become an Immortal, sooner or later one will turn to dust." The Artifact Spirit responded, and then he said, "Your Jiang Clan and I can be considered to be fated. Why don't I make the decision? You can choose a Jiang Clan disciple to become my Little Master's disciple. My Little Master has hopes of catching up to 'Jiang's' achievements in the future, or even better. It won't be a disgrace for him to nurture your Jiang Clan disciple."
Jiang Teng's gaze flickered, and a scorching look flashed across his eyes as he said, "Can I?"
"Then you'll have to ask my Little Master. This old man is going back to rest." The Artifact Spirit said and went back into the cauldron.
Yang Wu smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "He really knows how to find trouble for me."
Sure enough, Jiang Teng looked at Yang Wu eagerly, his old eyes filled with anticipation.
There were many people in their Jiang Clan who cultivated fire profound qi. It shouldn't be difficult to find a child with talent in alchemy. It just depended on whether Yang Wu was willing to accept it or not.
At this point, did Yang Wu have any other choice?
"I don't have that much time to teach a disciple, so Patriarch, you can choose the disciple with the best talent and comprehension to be my disciple. Moreover, time is limited, so I can't stay here to teach him. Think about it carefully." Yang Wu made a statement in advance.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you." Jiang Teng's tone clearly became much friendlier.
Yang Wu really didn't think that he would be involved in so many things. He was more or less upset.
He also wanted to meditate and comprehend the 《Ox Blood Art》 and 《Star Prayer Art》.
Jiang Teng seemed to see through Yang Wu's thoughts and said on the spot, "Don't worry, you've done so many things for my clan. I won't treat you unfairly. The secret technique you want to cultivate will be taught to you by this Patriarch alone."
Yang Wu's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression as he said, "Really?"
Jiang Teng nodded with a serious expression.
This made Yang Wu's mood much better. Then he asked about Nannan. Why did they bring her here in advance?
"She has a natural Divine Spirit Body. If a young Divine Spirit descends, she might be brought to the Divine Realm. Our Jiang Clan also has people in the Divine Realm, so we hope that she can go to the Jiang Clan and help us replenish our strength. "Jiang Teng said in an incomparably honest manner.
"We still don't know if a young Divine Spirit descending will be a blessing or a curse. I don't think we can be so optimistic." Yang Wu said in a deep voice.
Yue Huai Jin came from the Divine Realm and she had told Yang Wu many things about the Divine Realm. This was why Yang Wu had this kind of worry.
The so called Divine Spirit of the Divine Realm was only born in the Divine Realm. There were countless divine items in the Divine Realm and it was unknown how many times more resources they had compared to the Transcendent Realm. So, their starting point was much higher than the Transcendent Realm. Like Xie Tian and Yang Zaisheng, there were many natural born Holy Infants.
The more they were like this, the more they looked down on the lower races. They would only treat them as slaves, as weeds that could be killed at will.
"Perhaps, but some things can't be changed. We can only let nature take its course." Jiang Teng replied and brought Yang Wu to rest.
Jiang Teng also announced to the Jiang Clan that Yang Wu had become their clan's honored guest. He could walk around as he pleased and was no longer restricted.
Yang Wu's status in the Jiang Clan instantly rose by a lot. Many Jiang Clan members revealed kind smiles when they saw him.
Suddenly, Yang Wu felt that this place had a bit more human touch.
Yang Wu was arranged to stay in the room next to Nannan. The two siblings could finally have a good conversation.
"Nannan, did they make things difficult for you?" Yang Wu transmitted his voice to Nannan with a serious expression.
Nannan twirled her two braids and smiled. "No, the clan leader is very good to me. The people here are actually very kind. Big brother, don't worry too much."
"Mm, that's for the best." Yang Wu relaxed.
He was very afraid that the Jiang Clan had other plans for Nannan.
"Big brother, the Jiang Clan's bloodline is very powerful. Their battle prowess is also very strong. Those two secret arts are worth cultivating. You will have unexpected gains."
"I will study them. However, there's clearly something wrong with their bloodline. You can't be too obsessed with these two secret arts. You have to distinguish the pros and cons."
…
After Jiang Teng received Yang Wu's Blood-Cleansing Divine Pill, he immediately summoned some of the God level experts in the clan and distributed the pills. He also discussed Yang Wu's matters and who would be suitable to visit Yang Wu.
In the end, they gathered the most talented children in the clan and began to choose from them. It was best that they kept three children and let Yang Wu choose.
After all, they weren't alchemists. They didn't know which children were more talented in alchemy. It was best for Yang Wu to choose.
After Yang Wu saw the three children, he didn't choose any more. He took them in as his in-name disciples and taught them some simple alchemy knowledge. He wanted to see who could learn it the fastest. This was the best way to determine a child's comprehension ability.
He would know the result in a month.
Patriarch Jiang Teng also fulfilled his promise and personally taught Yang Wu the 《Ox Blood Technique》 and the 《Star Prayer Technique》.
After Yang Wu received these two ancient techniques, he quickly understood the difference between the two ancient techniques on the stone stele. The incantation on the stone stele was only a simplified version. It wasn't the complete version.
Two different versions would result in different effects when cultivating.
In addition, Jiang Teng also passed on some cultivation insights to Yang Wu. This helped Yang Wu to master these two secret techniques faster.
Yang Wu was overjoyed. He sincerely expressed his gratitude to the Jiang Teng Clan Leader.
These two ancient techniques might not be very useful to him, but they could help him understand more of the mysteries of different ancient techniques. In the future, he might even be able to create new techniques.
Of these two ancient techniques, the one that interested him the most was the Star Prayer Art. The Star Prayer Art had a total of twelve levels. The deeper one's understanding of it, the deeper one's connection with the stars and the greater the power of the stars.
Moreover, the most valuable part of this secret technique was that it didn't limit one's cultivation level. One could cultivate it as a child and be able to sense the mysteries of the stars. It could help a child grow faster.
Yang Wu felt that it was necessary to seriously cultivate this Star Prayer Art.
The incantation of the Star Prayer Art was a little obscure. It couldn't be understood by the ancient people. It was too difficult to understand what it meant.
Fortunately, with Jiang Teng's teachings, Yang Wu was able to quickly learn the technique.
"The Star Prayer Art is to use one's willpower to communicate with the stars. By imagining the stars and resonating with them, one can draw upon the power of the stars to temper one's mind and body …" Yang Wu meditated and studied the Star Prayer Art. He began to visualize the appearance of the stars in his mind. He wanted to understand this secret technique as quickly as possible.
