Chapter 490
Before arriving in this world of cultivation, Chen Xuan had some guesses. For this world, top-grade spiritual fields might be extremely rare, but for a hegemon like the Jiang family, spiritual fields should be considered normal assets.
It was precisely because of this overestimation and preconceived notions that Chen Xuan did not take many precautions and directly led Jiang Ming into the Tangwu Mountain area. However, when Jiang Ming learned that the area stretching for hundreds of miles below was actually the legendary rare asset—spirit fields—possessed only by sects and large tribes with profound foundations, the atmosphere of the entire space instantly changed.
Upon learning that the land below was a spirit field, Jiang Ming was utterly shocked. His eyes darted around. As a member of a powerful family that had ruled this land for millennia, he knew the value of a spirit field was immeasurable. Furthermore, he had witnessed firsthand the weakness of the Longxia clan. Although Jiang Ming was generally upright, he was born into a large tribe, especially a massive one like the Jiang clan, where members had a strong sense of belonging. Given these circumstances, considering all factors, it was understandable that Jiang Ming might have harbored thoughts of seizing it.
At this moment, not only was Jiang Ming's gaze shifting, but even Chen Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. As the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted, especially after the weakness of the Longxia clan had just been revealed. Secondly, Chen Xuan was also very clear about the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
"How is it?" Chen Xuan squinted at Jiang Ming, his eyes so sharp they seemed to see right through Jiang Ming's heart.
Jiang Ming was startled by Chen Xuan's calm words, then shook his head and said with an apologetic smile, "Unexpected, truly unexpected! This trip has certainly broadened my horizons."
Jiang Ming felt guilty for his previous fantasies. He looked at Chen Xuan and said solemnly, "When I was young, I went out to make my way in the world, and I have naturally seen spirit fields. The reason I asked Brother Chen Xuan what this is is because the spirit fields I have seen are far inferior to these."
Chen Xuan stared intently at Jiang Ming, and after confirming that his state of mind was indeed completely calm, he nodded: "Legend has it that spirit fields are also divided into high and low levels. The level of my spirit field is probably higher than the one you saw before."
"Alas, let me remind you, brother, that when outsiders come in the future, never reveal this place to them. You have done me, Jiang Ming, a great favor. I dare not speak of anything else, but my Jiang clan will absolutely not covet the treasures of your Longxia tribe." Jiang Ming spoke with righteous indignation, having already made his decision. Although his words alone could not fully represent the entire Jiang clan, he held a crucial voice among the Jiang clan's higher-ups.
"However, I have a request, and I hope Brother Chen Xuan will agree." Although the Jiang family cannot seize the precious land before them, they can try to obtain the Spirit Valley.
"Oh? But it doesn't matter."
After hearing Jiang Ming's heartfelt words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect. It's said that the world of cultivation is incredibly cruel, but in reality, it's related to the decisions made by the higher-ups of a power.
Of course, Chen Xuan could not yet determine the specific follow-up to this matter.
After all, Jiang Ming was the only one here at the moment. If he were to go back and bring this news back, perhaps Zelinhai would gather a large number of Jiang family experts tomorrow.
However, Chen Xuan was not afraid at all. There are two different things: having no sword to use and having a sword but not using it. Having personally visited Jiangshan City, the core of the Jiang Clan, Chen Xuan could vaguely sense that the formation of Jiangshan City was somewhat dangerous, but if he were to disregard everything and break the formation, with his mastery of formations, it should only take some time.
Without the protective array that had blessed Jiangshan City for a thousand years, those so-called high-ranking members of the Jiang clan at the Foundation Establishment Realm were nothing more than bargaining chips in his eyes. Chen Xuan had considered that if the Jiang clan dared to gather a large number of experts this time in an attempt to seize his spiritual land, then he would go all out and directly occupy this land, becoming the new overlord.
