Chapter 2622 - 1511

Jiang Congtang hadn’t run away like a coward afraid of trouble; he just didn’t want to clash with others and stir up more hatred before he had avenged his great enmity.

Those people definitely had backing behind them.

He still didn’t have the ability to provoke these people, or the ones behind them.

Jiang Congtang used the movement technique he’d learned from the Deity, left like lightning, then went to the Mission Hall to take another task, and erased the lecture task from his list.

He took on a task to go to a certain place and look for some Spirit Grass.

He only needed to accept this task; when it was over he could come back here to hand it in.

Jiang Congtang had also planted this kind of Medicinal Herb in the Planting Space; he wasn’t going to that place at all, he was just using this as a reason to go outside once.

As for once he got outside, where would he go?

Of course he’d look for a place with no one around, enter the Planting Space, and stay there for a while.

Just like that, Jiang Congtang escaped from the Spirit Immortal Sect, with people still waiting at his quarters outside.

For the moment he hadn’t drawn the attention of more people.

But those people spreading rumors were doing it because they were unwilling to accept it.

Jiang Congtang had left the Spirit Immortal Sect, and he’d left with a mission.

It was only after a day that those people found out.

When the students who had been listening to Jiang Congtang’s lectures these past few days heard that their classroom teacher had been changed,

and then sat in class to listen, they realized that after the teacher was replaced, the new teacher’s lecturing didn’t seem nearly as good as their previous one.

Even though Jiang Congtang had only taught in the classroom for a few days.

Alchemy hadn’t yet reached the stage where others could practice hands-on; it was just simple Alchemy, simple introductions of various Medicinal Herbs.

In just these few lessons, Jiang Congtang had already explained a lot.

As long as these people bought a Pill Furnace and used a single portion of Medicinal Herbs to refine, it might fail the first time, but with multiple attempts it would definitely succeed.

When Jiang Congtang first learned the skills, he hadn’t been that amazing either, able to succeed in one go.

Back then, before he got the Secret Manuals Jiang Tang gave him, he was learning skills strictly according to the books in the Scripture Pavilion.

If you want to read in the Scripture Pavilion, of course you have to do more missions at the Mission Hall to earn points, only then do you get a chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion to read.

You can only read inside; the reading process also has a time limit.

But if you want to make a copy from inside, you have to pay extra money.

People who aren’t short on wealth really cherish the time spent reading inside; they all choose the books they need to read.

They try to memorize all the contents of the books in their minds; without recording, they can still learn the contents as if they were in their phones.

For this kind of free lecture class, they attend for free, so naturally they won’t miss it.

Because these experiences, once they listen, they can take notes and avoid taking many detours in Cultivation.

These experiences are wealth.

Take Alchemy for example: when they are unfamiliar with the process, if the Pill Furnace explodes, they waste a portion of Medicinal Herbs, and may even scrap the Alchemy Furnace itself.

Every single thing has to be bought with money.

Learning a skill isn’t easy either; learning skills means wasting a lot of materials for learning.

Back when Jiang Congtang hadn’t yet received the Planting Space gifted by Jiang Tang,

he was using Spirit Grass he found in the Medicine Garden—wasted Ye Zi, or roots and such—to practice.

Even though the medicinal effect wasn’t great, it was still fine for practicing skills.

Especially when he used them to practice making anti-parasite medicine and Nutrient Solution.

These skills were also practice in refining liquids.

After Jiang Congtang obtained the Planting Space and it was filled with a lot of Medicinal Herbs, practicing various skills later on became very easy; even if some batches were ruined, the residue could be used to feed Spirit Beasts he was raising.

Jiang Congtang left the Immortal Sect, but he didn’t go very far; he just found a deserted corner and entered the Planting Space.

The place he picked was just on the main street outside the Immortal Sect gates; here there were many shops as well as residential houses.

A market had already formed here, and every day Cultivators came out to stroll.

Those who came to stroll might be people coming out from the Spirit Immortal Sect, or they might be people who wanted to come out and buy some items.

Or they might be people from elsewhere who only wanted to come to the shops here to buy supplies, sell supplies.

There were also houses on this street occupied by people from other places; as long as you had money, you could live here.

Jiang Congtang hadn’t chosen to live here, and he had his reasons.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t come out onto this street in the past ten-plus years; it was just that the people here were complicated.

If a cultivator’s ability isn’t high, no matter whether he has valuables on him or not,

once he shows up on the street, he’ll be targeted; if he’s alone, he’s even more easily targeted.

Doesn’t matter if you’re from the Spirit Immortal Sect Disciple residences; there will always be people striking secretly.

Those few times Jiang Congtang appeared on the street, he was following some Servant Disciples; even though they ostracized him,

at least they didn’t drive him away.

Jiang Congtang knew there were gangs on this street—bandits.

He’d been targeted before; at that time his luck was decent. When he was targeted, he ran toward the crowd of Spirit Immortal Sect Disciples who had higher abilities.

He didn’t even buy anything, just quickly rushed back to the Immortal Sect.

Those people only dared make a move on the street, only dared act outside; they didn’t dare chase into the Spirit Immortal Sect, since there were Disciples guarding the mountain gate.

Jiang Congtang spent a month inside the Planting Space, while outside only a few days had passed.

In that month he finished eating all the stored food and started to feel hungry.

Jiang Congtang prepared to slaughter a sheep and roast a whole lamb.
