"Elder Jiang, you've come out of seclusion. How were your gains?"
Seeing Jiang Ping An enter, the many elders who had been arguing took the opportunity to stop.
No one wanted to argue. They were simply all anxious, their emotions somewhat beyond control.
"My gains were quite good."
Jiang Ping An said, "I heard the elders saying that the sect has recently been short on resources. Regarding this matter..."
"There is no need for Elder Jiang to worry about that. Just focus on cultivation; we will handle it."
Before Jiang Ping An could finish, Sect Master Xiao Liangyan interrupted him.
The other elders echoed the sentiment.
"Elder Jiang, hurry and cultivate. Take up the sect's great burden as soon as possible. Leave money-making to old men like us."
"That's right. Elder Jiang has exceptional combat talent; there's no need to concern yourself with such mundane matters as making money. Once Elder Jiang grows stronger, we can wipe out the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode and have all the resources we need."
Everyone had witnessed Jiang Ping An's combat prowess firsthand and did not want him wasting time on such matters.
Before becoming an Immortal, he had slain an Immortal with the body of a mortal. Not long ago, with merely Human Immortal cultivation, he had suppressed and killed more than a dozen Immortals from the Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode, including an Earth Immortal-level powerhouse.
Now, he had even broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm.
It could be said that Jiang Ping An's current combat strength placed him firmly as the number one person beneath the sect master within the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect.
Such extraordinary talent was a precious treasure to the sect.
Only by letting Jiang Ping An continue cultivating could they better protect the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect.
