Chapter 13
Choosing a Cave Abode
Jiang Chengxuan quickly returned the greeting.
“You flatter me. I was just lucky.”
The two sides exchanged pleasantries.
Only then did Shen Daoming smile and continue, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, let me introduce you.”
As he spoke, he pointed at a green-robed man among the three.
This is my brother, Shen Daofeng. He’s currently an elder of the Shen Immortal family’s Hall of Impartation.
This is Ruyan and my cousin, Shen Rushuang. She’s a Level 2 alchemist.”
Shen Daoming pointed at the only woman among the three.
Finally, he pointed at the only man among the three with a long saber on his back and introduced with a smile,
“As for this person, just like you, he’s an elder who joined the Shen family from the outside.
He is Xiong Wandao, now an elder of the Shen Immortal family’s Law Enforcement Hall.”
Huh, an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall?
Jiang Chengxuan was slightly surprised and subconsciously looked at Elder Xiong.
It seemed that this Elder Xiong was really trusted by the Shen Immortal family. Otherwise, it was unlikely for an outsider to be the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
After all, everyone knew that places like the Hall of Impartation and the Law Enforcement Hall were the core of a sect or family.
People in these positions were definitely the core and most trusted group of people.
At this moment, Elder Xiong seemed to have sensed Jiang Chengxuan’s gaze and immediately smiled and nodded at him.
“Elder Jiang, when you have time, you must come and drink with me.”
His words were sincere.
It was obvious that this Elder Xiong was friendly to Jiang Chengxuan.
It made sense.
Any cultivator who could reach the Foundation Establishment realm was not a fool.
They would always try to make more friends, especially the ones with the same or higher realm.
Who would be so stupid as to deliberately offend a cultivator of the same realm as them for no reason?
Moreover, it was a cultivator like Jiang Chengxuan who reached the Foundation Establishment Realm on his own.
As they spoke, they arrived at a hall.
Shen Daoming took out a token, a map, and a storage bag and smiled at Jiang Chengxuan.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, from now on, you’re the guest elder of the Shen Immortal family and the ninth Foundation Establishment Realm elder of the Shen Immortal family.
Take this token that represents your identity. From now on, in the Shen Immortal family, other than a few special areas, you can use this token to enter and leave as you please.”
As he spoke, he handed the storage bag to Jiang Chengxuan.
“In this storage bag is your salary as a guest elder this year. There’s a total of 550 spirit stones and some daily items. You can take a look later.
As for this map…”
Shen Daoming handed the map to Jiang Chengxuan.
It includes all the empty Level 2 cave abodes in the Shen Immortal family. You can choose which cave abode you want on this map to use as a place to cultivate in the future.”
In addition, this map also marks the entire Flat Land County and some of the surrounding areas. In your free time, Elder Jiang, you can go and explore it yourself.”
After that, the few of them chatted for a while.
Shen Daoming smiled and looked at Shen Ruyan. “By the way, Ruyan, Elder Jiang just came to the Shen Immortal family, so he is not very familiar with many places in the Shen Immortal family. Why don’t you show him around?”
“Good.”
Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded.
A while later.
Shen Ruyan left the hall with Jiang Chengxuan.
Looking at the two of them disappear, Shen Daoming turned to look at the three people present and asked.
“Daofeng, Cousin Rushuang, and Elder Xiong, what do you think of Jiang Chengxuan?”
Shen Daofeng, who was dressed in green, nodded and said simply.
“Good.”
Shen Rushuang pondered for a moment before saying, “I can’t tell for the time being, but it should be fine to let him be the guest elder.”
In the end, Xiong Wandao chuckled.
“Leader Shen, why are you worrying so much?
As time passes, we will naturally be able to tell what kind of a person he is.
Are you afraid that he will elope with your sister?”
Hearing this, Shen Daoming couldn’t help but laugh.
He couldn’t help but reach out and tap Xiong Wandao.
“Old Xiong, you just won’t stop making fun of people.”
…
At the same time, Shen Ruyan brought Jiang Chengxuan around the entire Shen Immortal family to familiarize him with the environment. Then, according to the map in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand, she brought him to a few empty Level 2 cave abodes to take a look.
“How is it? Elder Jiang, is there any cave abode you like?”
Jiang Chengxuan looked at the map in his hand and thought for a moment before pointing at the most secluded area.
“Let’s do it here.”
Shen Ruyan looked surprised.
“Elder Jiang, are you really sure you want to choose this place?
After all, this Level 2 cave abode is not the best unoccupied Level 2 cave abode the Shen Immortal family has at the moment.”
“Yes, I’m sure. I’ve made up my mind.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded firmly.
Before he came, he had already thought it through.
This time, he joined the Shen Immortal family because he wanted to find a relatively stable cultivation environment for himself.
He had just taken a look at the other cave abodes.
Indeed.
Those cave abodes were not bad.
One or two of them could be said to be top-grade.
However, in Jiang Chengxuan’s opinion, those cave abodes did not meet his requirements.
To put it bluntly, it was not remote enough.
Unlike the one Jiang Chengxuan chose now, it was located in the deepest part of the Shen Immortal family. It was also quite far from the other Level 2 cave abodes, and most of the surrounding environment was still relatively primitive.
Unless there was really something urgent, no one would come to disturb him.
“All right, then.”
Shen Ruyan felt a little helpless.
She did not expect Jiang Chengxuan to choose such a place in the end.
There were clearly other better cave abodes to choose from, but…
Shen Ruyan shook her head and said to Jiang Chengxuan with a smile, “In that case, I’ll take you there.”
“Ok, sorry to trouble you, Elder Ruyan.”
In the Shen Immortal family, it was obviously no longer appropriate for Jiang Chengxuan to call Shen Ruyan Fellow Daoist Shen.
There were so many people with the surname Shen, so calling her Elder Shen was not appropriate either.
In the end, Shen Ruyan asked Jiang Chengxuan to call her by her name or just Ruyan.
However, after thinking about it, Jiang Chengxuan decided to add a prefix before her name.
