My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 119 Grandpa, it's me, Jiang Chen!

The garrison commander was named Jian Zhao, a disciple of the Jade Mountain Immortal, and was stationed at Changyuan Mountain year-round.

He is quite old, now over 160 years old, and his chances of forming a core are slim.

As soon as Jiang Chen and his group arrived at the garrison headquarters, they saw an elderly man with graying temples, accompanied by several stewards, waiting for them outside the gate.

The old man's magical power fluctuations were extremely strong, far surpassing Wu Jianyun's, indicating he was at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Wu Jianyun stepped forward first to greet him: "Greetings, Senior Brother Jian. We've been acquaintances for many years. Why did you personally come out to greet me?"

Jian Zhao glanced at him: "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just bored and have nothing better to do than go for a walk. I'm not coming to pick you up."

"Didn't we hear that Junior Brother Jiang is here? Thanks to Junior Brother Jiang, we outsiders don't lack Foundation Establishment resources."

A few days ago, one of my sons consumed a Foundation Establishment Pill and successfully established his foundation. I benefited greatly from this; how could I not come to welcome him?

Jiang Chen also stepped forward and bowed: "I am humbled that Senior Brother Jian has come to greet me."

Jian Zhao casually took out a silver token: "Junior Brother Jiang is truly a handsome man. If I had your looks, I would have become a live-in son-in-law of the direct lineage more than a hundred years ago."

"I heard that Junior Brother Jiang is coming, so I have prepared a position and token for you. You will temporarily serve as the manager of the Hundred Arts Department, and you can take office today."

"With this token, you can freely enter and leave Changyuan City. If you want to go out and kill a few monsters to practice, that's fine with you too."

However, now that you're famous, those bastards from the direct line will probably pass on information to the demonic sect through some rogue cultivators.

To be on the safe side, you'd better not go out easily.

"You can accumulate merit by drawing talismans and refining elixirs in Changyuan City. After a year or two, you can return to the mountain gate."

"By the way, your accommodation has also been arranged, and your location information is in the token."

Jiang Chen never expected that he would be so popular.

He immediately accepted the token, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Jian."

This token is different from the tokens of the Golden Cauldron Sect disciples; it has no Golden Cauldron Sect logo on it at all.

This is also a means for outsiders to prevent the infiltration of the direct line. The tokens on Changyuan Mountain are specially made and are not interchangeable with the tokens of the Jin Ding Sect disciples.

Without the consent of the outsiders, the direct disciples cannot even enter Changyuan City, let alone cause trouble.

After the group of people who came with him registered at the garrison headquarters, Wu Jianyun completed his escort mission.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen went to the Hundred Arts Department to report for duty alone.

The head of the Hundred Arts Division was also a member of the Guard Hall, and he was equally enthusiastic towards Jiang Chen.

After completing the procedures, Jiang Chen officially became the manager of the Hundred Arts Department, in charge of alchemists and talisman masters.

After handing over the duties, Jiang Chen hurriedly went to the Talisman Room under the Hundred Arts Division.

The jurisdiction within Changyuan City is extremely strict, and the same applies to the recruitment of cultivators.

Whether they were disciples of the Golden Cauldron Sect or recruited rogue cultivators, they were all subject to strict discipline.

Without a legitimate reason, one cannot even wander around the streets, let alone leave the city.

Inside the talisman room, more than a hundred talisman masters were bent over their desks, busy drawing talismans.

According to the task assigned by the Bureau of Arts and Crafts, they need to spend six hours a day drawing talismans in order to complete the task.

Of course, they also receive a considerable amount of compensation.

Jiang Chen, as the manager of the talismans, was their immediate superior.

He made no attempt to conceal his divine sense, probing the situation of these talisman masters.

Soon, he detected a familiar fluctuation of magical power.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was an elderly man dressed in shabby clothes.

This person was disheveled and filthy, making it impossible to discern their features.

But Jiang Chen recognized him at a glance as his grandfather.

He immediately walked over and said softly, "Come with me for a bit; I need your help with something."

Jiang Yun raised her head and looked at Jiang Chen carefully, her face full of doubt.

He bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

The grandfather and grandson left the talisman room and came to a small courtyard not far away, which was the place that Jian Zhao had arranged for Jiang Chen to stay.

Jiang Chen used the token to activate the array in the courtyard, and after entering the courtyard, he activated all the arrays.

The two arrived at the training room in the backyard, where Jiang Chen activated the isolation and detection array.

At this moment, Jiang Yun asked somewhat uneasily, "Steward, what are your orders?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Yun examined his face closely: "Ah? Jiang Chen? Oh my, it really is Jiang Chen! I almost misjudged him; I thought he was some important figure from the Golden Cauldron Sect!"

Jiang Chen helped him to a chair and asked, "Grandpa, how have you been all these years?"

Jiang Yun sighed: "Back then, I explored the ancient cultivator's cave with a few other rogue cultivators and obtained some treasures. I never expected that there would be such an extraordinary inheritance here."

Since the inheritance was divided among several people, the news was bound to leak out, so I didn't dare go back to Blackrock Mountain Market and planned to hide outside for a while.

"We'll return to Blackrock Mountain Market once things have calmed down."

"But I never expected to be targeted by a pack of mad dogs who wouldn't let me go."

I guessed they would capture you to force me to show myself, thinking that as long as I didn't go out, you wouldn't die. So, I came to Changyuan Mountain on my own initiative.

Those mad dogs are just rogue cultivators; with their abilities, they wouldn't dare cause trouble in Changyuan Mountain.

"I just didn't expect that in less than ten years, you would have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"Now that you've become the manager of the Talisman Room, your problem of your divine consciousness disappearing for no reason should be cured, right?"

Jiang Chen strongly agreed with his grandfather's choice.

South of the Golden Scale River, dense forests abound, teeming with monstrous beasts.

Without Foundation Establishment cultivation, it is impossible to survive in the wild for a long time.

Blackstone Mountain Market is not safe enough; the best option is Changyuan Mountain.

Jiang Chen also briefly recounted his experiences over the past few years.

"Now that I've reached the Core Formation stage, those people don't dare to cause me any trouble."

I've already figured out their general situation. Once I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll personally go and kill them.

"I'm still the head of the Hundred Arts Department, and I'm in charge of the Talisman Room. I'll transfer you here to be the head housekeeper later, so you won't have to worry about it."

After hearing his words, Jiang Yun was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time.

"I never imagined that I, Jiang Yun, a mere rogue cultivator, would have such a grandson."

Even if I die now, I can close my eyes in peace.

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized jade tripod with three legs and two handles.

"Back then, I went to explore an ancient cultivator's cave with a few other rogue cultivators, and that's how we got this thing. It almost cost my father and me our lives."

The heritage here is extraordinary; it should be useful to you.

Jiang Chen immediately took the jade cauldron. This thing, in terms of both shape and decoration, was exactly the same as Zhang Yaoling's natal magic weapon.

"This jade cauldron definitely comes from the Creation Sect, but that ancient cultivator's cave was left behind by a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

It seems that the previous owner of this jade cauldron was a disciple of the Creation Sect who had fled.

Of course, he might not be a disciple of the Creation Sect, but rather he might have unearthed this item from some ruins of the Creation Sect.

"I learned from Black Wolf's memories that the inheritance recorded in this jade cauldron should be some kind of foundation-building secret technique, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of foundation building."

I want to see what's so unique about this tradition.
