Chapter 37 Comprehending the Stone Tablet
Clan meetings are nothing more than discussions about achieving a few hundred small goals this year and outlining expectations for the younger generation.
The promises made in his words and actions were enough to feed Jiang He for a hundred years.
It wasn't until the very end of the meeting that Jiang He finally got to hear what she wanted to hear.
"This year, more than a dozen cultivators from the Jiang family participated in the college entrance examination. A total of three entered the written examination: Jiang Shuo, Jiang Yaoyi, and Jiang He. As is customary, Steward Jiang will lead them into the ancestral hall to study the stone tablet. The study time is limited, and they need to leave after 24 hours, otherwise they will be punished according to the clan law."
The meeting adjourned. "
After Jiang Shan, as the head of the family, spoke for a long time on the stage, the meeting finally came to an end.
He walked back to his seat. When Jiang He was brought back, he didn't have much hope for her. Letting her study at Beihuai No. 1 Middle School was considered a preferential treatment for the direct descendants of the Jiang family.
Even if Jiang Yaoyi is not his biological daughter, the Jiang family has already included her in the family genealogy, which can be considered as acknowledging Yaoyi's identity.
Yao Yi is currently the most talented among the younger generation, which will be advantageous for his succession as the head of the family three years from now.
Jiang Shan has always regarded Jiang Yaoyi as his own daughter.
As for Jiang He, if she weren't his biological daughter, Jiang Shan wouldn't have paid any attention to her.
Jiang He's previous actions have impacted the Jiang family's stock and tarnished his image.
Jiang Shan disliked the child even more.
However, despite his dislike for Jiang Shan, he is a qualified family head. As long as Jiang He's spiritual root is ruined, he will not break the clan rules as long as he can enter the martial arts competition.
Jiang He took advantage of her break time to send out all the monsters.
The deliveryman not only handed Jiang He's Old Rabbit Shop a flyer, but also a paper contract. These days, everyone signs electronic contracts, and paper contracts are rare.
Jiang He was dumbfounded when she opened the paper contract.
"Golden Bull Trading Company?"
As she uttered those four words, she suddenly remembered the man handing out advertisements she had met at the entrance of the secret realm that day.
The advertisement seemed to have the words "Golden Bull Trading Company" on it. Jiang He hadn't expected that the owner of Old Rabbit Shop would be so well-connected as to be the owner of a trading company.
In addition to the large characters "Prometheus" on the signature area of the contract, there was also Jiang He's handwritten signature "AAA Tomato Wholesaler Brother Ge".
Citizens of the Empire of All Spirits are allowed to have multiple names. One is their ordinary citizen name, while the others, whether account names on the StarNet or names of various apps, have legal effect when used to sign documents.
The contract was made in duplicate, and Jiang He kept one copy.
In less than a minute, Jiang He handed over the goods and then retrieved a mustard seed bag.
A 20-cubic-meter mustard seed capsule costs approximately 20 Star Coins.
Thanks to the technological advancements in this world, the realization of space compression has driven down the price of mustard seed pouches made by weapon refiners.
Compared to high-tech spatial carriers, such as spatial rings, which have a larger capacity, the price of mustard seed capsules doesn't seem so expensive.
Jiang He examined the elixir manual sent by Prometheus, which included both Spirit Recovery Pills and Immobilization Talismans.
"Young Miss, the stone tablet comprehension will begin soon. Please come this way."
The old butler smiled as he looked at Jiang He, who was standing outside the Jiang family's gate.
Jiang He nodded slightly and then followed the old steward toward the ancestral hall.
There is a chance to obtain secret martial arts techniques by studying the stone tablet.
Three people were studying the stone tablet this time: Jiang Shuo, Jiang Yaoyi, and Jiang He.
The direct line of the Jiang family, starting with Old Master Jiang, is headed by Jiang Shan. Xue Qiu gave birth to two children, Jiang He and Jiang Wei.
Jiang Shuo is the son of an illegitimate child born to Old Master Jiang's concubine. He was found to have dual spiritual roots of wood and fire when he was young, showing good talent. Jiang Xiazhu is Jiang Shuo's younger sister.
Jiang Yaoyi has a good relationship with the Jiang family, and Jiang Shuo and she were chatting and laughing in front of them.
Jiang He walked behind, following the old steward into the ancestral hall and then to a grotto, behind which was another cave.
After the old steward led the three people to this place, he spoke:
"This is the forbidden area of the Jiang family. There are stone tablets behind the three stone caves, and you can choose one to enter. Once you choose, you cannot change it, so this old servant will not go in."
After the old butler finished speaking, he left.
The three of them were left to watch over the cave.
The Jiang family has three stone tablets. After watching Jiang Shuo walk in, Jiang Yaoyi deliberately lingered next to Jiang He.
“Jiang He, don’t think that you can gain Father’s favor just because you’re back. Xie Xing and I grew up together, and he doesn’t even look at a piece of trash like you.”
???
Jiang He rolled her eyes:
"I don't know Xie Xing, and I don't care about any marriage agreement. Only you guys would be so eager to date Xie Xing, this sugarcane guy."
"Jiang He, what do you mean?"
"What else could it mean? It means you're mentally challenged."
Jiang He left those words behind and quickly disappeared into the first stone cave, leaving Jiang Yaoyi standing there.
Jiang Yaoyi clenched her hands around the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with resentment.
All the love and pampering from the Jiang family belonged to her, and Xie Xing was also hers. Jiang He was just a good-for-nothing and didn't deserve to stand with her at all.
Jiang He was unaware of Jiang Yaoyi's inner thoughts; she only discovered the hidden world within the stone cave after entering it.
Inside the cave was a hot spring. After Jiang He entered, the cave door was closed, and then all sight was plunged into darkness.
Jiang He released the fire elemental energy in her hand, accurately striking the candle on the stone cave wall.
Under the candlelight, Jiang He slowly took off her clothes, leaving her in only a single garment.
The wound that was corroded that day has almost healed thanks to the spiritual plant.
A soft light outlined Jiang He's body as she gradually sank into the warm spring.
As the water washed over her chest, Jiang He slowly reached towards the stone tablet.
The moment she touched the stone tablet, a sword strike came toward her.
The swordplay was gentle yet carried a hint of sharpness.
Jiang He's eyes lit up.
It's a sword move based on wood elemental energy.
Jiang He dodged to the side, splashing water from the spring. Under the sword intent, Jiang He began to comprehend the sword moves.
This sword move is called "Slash".
There are twelve styles in total.
As soon as the first move was made, the spiritual energy accompanying the sword strikes seemed to be real, and it attacked Jiang He without any hesitation.
Jiang He could only access sword techniques in the water, essentially fighting against a non-existent person underwater. The resistance of the water made it difficult for Jiang He to dodge, but she was extremely happy.
The sword techniques left on these stone tablets were all left by the ancestors of the Jiang family before their deaths, without any concealment. As soon as the first move was finished, Jiang He's spiritual veins became extremely hot, and she felt that her realm was about to break through.
Jiang He suppressed her desire to break through.
These twelve moves are progressively more difficult than the last.
Jiang He dared not slack off in the slightest.
After she grasped the first move, she failed to grasp the remaining eleven moves.
The stone tablet served as a vessel, containing numerous sword techniques. Jiang He's comprehension ability was average, but her soul was powerful; she simply memorized what she couldn't comprehend.
One sword move after another appeared before her eyes. Jiang He kept dodging, but dared not miss a single one.
She tried her best to memorize all the sword moves.
The temperature of the hot spring water would adjust according to her body temperature. Jiang He was constantly observing the sword moves, and the sweat and water on her body gradually soaked her hair.
As body temperature rises slightly, the hot spring water intelligently cools down.
Sweat mingled with spring water as Jiang He, drenched in sweat, diligently absorbed the essentials of sword techniques.
After she memorized one of the sword moves written on the stone tablet, only one hour remained in the 24-hour countdown on the stone cave.
Jiang He immediately began the next round of touching.
The stone tablet was like an encyclopedia; as soon as Jiang He touched it, several elixir recipes appeared in her mind.
Alchemist's Notebook!
Jiang He was surprised. The Jiang family really had a lot of talented people. He didn't expect that they would even have a pill formula. This pill formula was different from the one Jiang He found on the Star Network. It was obviously a refined version.
She quickly memorized the formulas for the Rejuvenation Pill and the Bigu Pill.
This is an alchemist.
A bronze-level alchemist's personal alchemy notes could fetch hundreds of thousands of star coins if posted on the Star Network, let alone this alchemist who is clearly more than just a bronze-level alchemist.
By the time they finished memorizing the sword moves, almost all the time had passed.
It must be said that this stone tablet is indeed significant. As a family of high rank, the Jiang family has such a large amount of information recorded on the stone tablet in their ancestral hall, let alone other prominent families.
Jiang He clicked her tongue in amazement.
Large families have a strong foundation; relying on the sword techniques that their ancestors have proven to be deadly, their descendants are unlikely to fare too poorly.
It's no wonder that cultivation resources in this world are monopolized by large families.
Now that Jiang He has become the beneficiary, she can't wait to come to the ancestral hall more often. There are also many sword moves on the stone tablet, and even the stone cave that Jiang Yaoyi and Jiang Shuo entered has a stone tablet.
Jiang He was a little reluctant to leave, but she didn't linger so that she could come back next time.
She still has to continue exploiting the Jiang family, so naturally she won't break the clan rules.
Jiang He stood up from the water, and ripples spread out in circles.
In an instant, Jiang He sensed that the water temperature was off!
She turned around and punched him.
