In the year or so that Jiang Yuchuan was away, the Jiang family's development was booming and thriving.

With the protection of Jianmen Palace and the pills and talismans given by Jiang Yuchuan, it can be said that Jiang's shop has become one of the most famous and prosperous shops in Baichuan City in just over a year.

With such a thriving business, the Jiang family naturally made a fortune every day.

Following Jiang Yuchuan's instructions, Jiang Kai quickly converted all the money he earned into resources for cultivation, thereby increasing the strength of his clansmen.

It is precisely because of this that the overall strength of the Jiang family has significantly improved compared to before they moved into Baichuan City.

However, sometimes being too famous and having too much business is not entirely a good thing.

After all, the reason why their Jiang Clan Chamber of Commerce was able to make a name for itself and attract so many customers was mainly due to the pills and talismans left behind by Jiang Yuchuan.

However, after more than a year of sales, the stock of pills and talismans had long been exhausted.

This forced Jiang Kai to take out the portion he had left for the Jiang family to maintain the shop's reputation and operation.

However, this is not a long-term solution. The talismans and pills he can provide can only last for another two months at most.

Two months later, the two most famous products of their Jiang family shop will be completely sold out.

Just as Jiang Kai was frowning in worry, a clansman rushed in, his face beaming with joy, and reported:

"Ancestor! Senior Jiang, he, he's back!"

"--What?!"

Jiang Kai never expected Jiang Yuchuan to return so promptly. He was both surprised and delighted, and quickly got up to go out and greet him personally.

Upon receiving news of Jiang Yuchuan's return, Jiang Zhenbang immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed out the gate with Jiang Kai.

While the Jiang family was busily preparing to welcome Jiang Yuchuan, Jiang Yuchuan led Xiao Xun into Taiping Town.

Although Xiao Xun was very depressed throughout the journey, he had no choice but to accept the reality before him.

Soon the two arrived at the front of the Jiang family mansion.

Jiang Kai, Jiang Zhenbang, and others had already been waiting in front of the door.

Compared to before Jiang Yuchuan left, the Jiang family mansion has now expanded by a whole size.

Upon first glance at Jiang Kai and the others, Xiao Xun clearly discerned their cultivation levels using his heterochromatic eyes.

When he saw that Jiang Kai, the one with the highest cultivation level, was only at the early stage of True Embryo, he felt a sense of disbelief and inexplicable disappointment.

To be honest, the overall strength of the Jiang family was much weaker than he had expected.

He originally thought that a bronze-level family that Jiang Yuchuan would take a liking to should at least have experts at the late True Embryo stage or even the peak True Embryo stage. Who would have thought that the strongest one was only the same as him.

Jiang Kai, Jiang Zhenbang, and the others were naturally unaware of Xiao Xun's thoughts. They showed great enthusiasm for the handsome young man that Jiang Yuchuan had personally brought back.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Yuchuan took special measures before setting off to cover up Xiao Xun's particularly conspicuous heterochromatic eyes.

To outsiders, Xiao Xun's eyes are no different from those of an ordinary person, but the effects of his heterochromia have not disappeared.

Besides his heterochromia, Xiao Xun's cultivation level was also the same.

The inconspicuous jade pendant he wore on his chest effectively concealed most of his aura.

No matter how outsiders investigate, Xiao Xun's displayed cultivation level is only at the peak of the Intervention Realm.

After entering the Jiang family home, Jiang Zhenbang and Jiang Kai split up into two groups.

Jiang Zhenbang was responsible for finding Xiao Xun, while Jiang Kai invited Jiang Yuchuan into the study and subtly explained the predicament the Jiang family was about to face.

Jiang Yuchuan had anticipated this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally brought Xiao Xun back to Taiping Town; instead, he would have let Xiao Xun come to him on his own.

After listening to Jiang Kai's report, Jiang Yuchuan didn't waste any more words. He simply waved his hand and threw out four large iron boxes and six large wooden barrels from the Chu Wu bracelet.

The iron box contained not only the weapons, techniques, and martial arts manuals he had obtained in the secret realm, but also the pills and talismans he had prepared to replenish Jiang Jiaxin's supplies. The six large wooden barrels contained the blood of ferocious beasts he had collected.

Jiang Kai stared blankly at the iron box and wooden barrel in front of him, so excited that he didn't know what to say.

He never expected that Jiang Yuchuan would bring out so many good things this time!

With these treasures, the Jiang family is already superior to those established bronze-level forces!

Amid Jiang Kai's shock and delight, Jiang Yuchuan spoke again: "If the Jiang family wants to develop in the long term, it cannot rely solely on me to provide pills; it must cultivate its own alchemists."

"Train your own alchemists?"

Jiang Kai was taken aback.

To be honest, he had thought about the point Jiang Yuchuan raised, but not now.

It should be known that martial artists are easy to find, but alchemists are rare.

The resources required to train an alchemist are several times that required to train a martial artist!

Let alone bronze-level forces, even some iron-level forces may not have their own alchemists.

Therefore, given the current resources and strength of the Jiang family, they are willing but unable to implement the plan to cultivate alchemists.

However, Jiang Kai did not voice his concerns.

In his view, since Jiang Yuchuan brought up this matter on his own initiative, there was probably a solution.

After all, Jiang Yuchuan knew the strength and foundation of the Jiang family all too well.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Kai heard Jiang Yuchuan say again: "I will personally select the alchemists. The age limit is set at under twenty and over ten. All clansmen who meet the requirements can participate. As for the selection time, it will be set for half a month from now."

"I will follow your instructions completely!"

Jiang Kai said no more and immediately set off to convey Jiang Yuchuan's request.

The tribespeople were in an uproar upon hearing the news.

Those who met the age requirements were summoned back by their elders to prepare for the alchemist selection in half a month.

This alchemist selection is open to both legitimate and illegitimate members, which is a rare opportunity for some members of the Jiang clan from collateral branches to rise to prominence.

If they are selected, their branch will rise rapidly, and it is not impossible for them to be promoted to the direct line!

Therefore, after half a month, nearly a hundred young men aged between 20 and 10 gathered at the Jiang family mansion.

These young clansmen knew that this was a moment that would determine their fate, so they were both nervous and excited. They obediently lined up in order of age from youngest to oldest, waiting for Jiang Yuchuan's arrival.
