Chapter 292: Arrangents
After Wang Hong heard Yang Tiezhu's explanation, he no longer paid attention to the matter of nas, considering it trivial.
"Why are you not interested in other skills?" Wang Hong asked.
"In our village, people say that a true hero is soone with strength, soone who can defeat a great tiger. My father didn't believe it; he was the best carpenter in ten miles, but in the end, he was still eaten by a tiger. So, I think it's the sa for Immortal Cultivators. The best heroes are the ones who can fight the best. I want to beco a respected hero too," Yang Tiezhu replied.
Wang Hong thought that she would never beco a hero in her lifeti, but now was not the ti to discourage young people.
"Good! You have determination! Although the Cultivation World doesn't classify combat as a separate skill, I can help you specialize in combat techniques."
Cultivation combat encompassed a wide range of skills, involving various aspects. While combat was a necessary skill for every cultivator, few focused exclusively on it. This was because survival in the Cultivation World involved nurous distractions, making it challenging to concentrate on one thing.
The reason Taihao Sect's sword cultivators were powerful was because they focused solely on the sword. However, not everyone in Taihao Sect specialized in swords; they also needed extensive logistical support and assistance from other types of cultivators.
If everyone only focused on swords, where would their resources for cultivation co from? Where would they obtain their swords?
Wang Hong handed Yang Tiezhu over to Luo Zhongjie for instruction, and in the future, she would be taught by others skilled in combat. He wanted to see how far Yang Tiezhu could progress.
Now that everyone had chosen the skills they wanted to learn, the next question was how to teach them.
In truth, Wang Hong was proficient in most skills, but if he personally taught each skill one by one, it would be too ti-consuming and exhausting.
The Pill Recipe could be taught by the Ma Brothers. These two brothers had beco second-tier Alchemists, and although their character was a bit lacking, their Alchemy skills were excellent, more than sufficient to teach these newcors.
Skinny Monkey could help teach Spirit Wine and Spirit al. They could also provide so assistance in his Spirit Wine workshop.
However, there were several skills left, and no one among his subordinates was proficient in them.
Fortunately, in Azure Void City, many clans allowed loose cultivators to pay Spirit Stones to listen in while they taught their disciples. The content covered a wide range, including Cultivation Techniques, Alchemy, refining tools, and more.
When Wang Hong was still a loose cultivator, he had initially learned Alchemy through this thod.
For the remaining skills, Wang Hong could have Luo Zhongjie arrange for them to listen in and purchase additional Jade Scrolls related to these skills to allow everyone to gain insights on their own. In the future, when he had ti, he could explain the content to them.
With these arrangents in mind, Wang Hong entrusted the task to Luo Zhongjie and moved on.
For the ti being, Wang Hong worked with a dozen of his subordinates who were learning refining tools, guiding them in refining wooden boxes. This type of refinent was straightforward and perfect for beginners.
After three days of instruction, Wang Hong left behind a large pile of first-tier spirit wood for them to experint with refining on their own before departing.
He then disguised himself as Wang Kun and went to Liu Changsheng's Immortal Way Trading Company. Currently, there were also more than ten Foundation Building stage subordinates here, as Liu Changsheng had previously recruited one hundred new recruits.
The Immortal Way Trading Company still operated as a covert and secretive force because it dealt with significant resources, and the pressure it would face in the future was bound to be imnse.
As early as two years ago, Wang Hong had arranged for two Foundation Building cultivators to be promoted from this side every year.
The initial group of fifteen people he recruited had all successfully reached Foundation Building now.
The new batch of one hundred recruits was currently not planned to learn Cultivation skills but rather to focus on improving their cultivation realms.
"East Master, it seems like soone has been secretly investigating East Zhou Trading Company recently," reported Liu Changsheng.
Liu Changsheng had been involved in covert activities for a long ti and was experienced in such matters. He had also trained many subordinates who had been lurking in the shadows, and they were no pushovers.
"Who are these people, and have they found anything?" Wang Hong inquired.
"It should be people from the Ten Store Alliance. They can only find out what we want them to know. If we don't want them to know sothing, with their thods, they will never find out," Liu Changsheng confidently replied. He had previously served as the highest-ranking figure of the Shadow Kill in a city, dealing with several businesses in secret.
After all, businesses did not have Liu Changsheng's level of expertise in such matters.
"For now, issue a discreet warning to them. If we can avoid a direct conflict, we should. I don't think we're powerful enough to challenge the Ten Store Alliance, especially Myriad Treasures Tower, their leading force. Myriad Treasures Tower has a presence wherever Immortal Cultivators gather. Our current force would be crushed quickly if we directly confront them."
"Understood," Liu Changsheng agreed. To be honest, he also didn't want to face off against a massive force like Myriad Treasures Tower head-on.
As for how to issue the warning to make them back off, Wang Hong didn't specify. He left it to Liu Changsheng's discretion. With the enemy in the light and himself in the shadows, there were countless ways to achieve the desired outco, especially since the Ten Store Alliance primarily focused on business.
"After you've dealt with these matters, recruit another one hundred newcors in the Mortal Realm. I'm afraid we'll need more manpower in the future," Wang Hong instructed. His recent journey with the caravan had involved two dangerous battles, and although they had erged victorious, the process had been perilous.
He felt that the number of cultivators among his subordinates was still insufficient. In the future, they would need to travel between various cities, which carried significant risks. He had already instructed Luo Zhongjie to have all one hundred new recruits learn various skills.
If they excelled and beca skilled, they would no longer participate in combat, and the manpower would be insufficient.
After Wang Hong had settled most of the affairs in Azure Void City, he returned to Qingxu Sect.
Upon returning to the sect, he first paid a visit to his master, Gu Qingyang.
As a disciple, it was essential to visit the master from ti to ti, and it also allowed Wang Hong to maintain a good rapport with his master while seeking guidance on various matters.
"Wang Junior Brother, you're back! I tried to find you recently, only to learn that you were away. Look, I've finally reached Foundation Building!" Gu Wei, the master's only son, who had co to greet Wang Hong, said with a cheerful smile.
"Congratulations, Gu Junior Brother! I have a little sothing for you, specially brought back this ti," Wang Hong said, taking out an exquisitely crafted puppet from his storage bag and handing it to Gu Wei.
Wang Hong had a positive impression of Gu Wei. As the descendant of a Golden Core cultivator, he had an outgoing personality and was not arrogant. Instead, he was friendly and sowhat innocent in his interactions with others.
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother! Now that I've reached Foundation Building, can you take
with you next ti you go out? Ji Junior Sister went out a few days ago and didn't take
with her," Gu Wei looked at Wang Hong with a hopeful expression.
"Well... we would need Master's approval for that," Wang Hong replied, thinking that Gu Qingyang might not agree.
