Sage smiled at all these familiar faces in the room taking a mont to appreciate their achievents both internally and then verbally, I am so very proud of how much youve all accomplished. I visited Golden Cricket Cove before returning and Im quite happy to see that you not only implented the plans we discussed but also made further improvents. Youve all done a great job. Ive also co bearing many gifts, but rather than explain them all one by one it will be far easier to just bring you all to your birthplace for a while.
As he spoke he looked to each of his children and finally stopped on Yating, Can you schedule a week for everyone in the clan to enter my Inner World? You can spread it out over a few months so nothing is compromised.
The Clan Head nodded to him, Shall we consider it as a reward for our actions against the Yi Yang Group?
Sage smiled, That would be perfect. Those who perform better will receive their gifts sooner than the others.
Perfect.
Yating called the eting to an end after a few more miscellaneous things were brought up. After the eting he left quickly to avoid getting sward by everyone at once. Instead he went directly back to his own house, one that he had only lived in a few years before leaving for the Depths. His wives usually stayed here and there was a whole staff taking care of the place even if neither of them were present. After hearing about the plans targeting the Yi Yang Group, Sage assud Jiao was there personally plotting and Ling could be on any number of business trips. He could send them a ssage, but he was sure hed have his hands full with private etings for the next few days. After living together for hundreds of years, being apart for a few decades was nothing for them.
Walking into what should be his private study, Sage realized he wasnt alone. He smiled and looked over to a shadowed corner, Why do you always have to sneak up on , Yahui?
The person in question stepped out of the shadows and shook his head, Its not fair that you have people on duty being more alert of your surroundings than you are. I always used to scare you in your world.
The two of them laughed and quickly moved on to the reason that Yahui had co here directly before the others even realized hed left. Sage passed him a Storage Ring filled with ssaging Jades and ciphers for all the agents that hed left in the Depths as well as contacts within the Prosperity Company branches hed started there. As the spymaster of the Lang Clan, Yahui would take over everything hed left down there.
Im quite liking being the irresponsible grandpa type. Its so nice to have a big responsible family to take over and do all the tedious work for .
Outside of that deal for the Oyster growing technique, Sage didnt really have any specific plans or plots for the agents hed left in the Depths. They were mainly there to continue gathering information that the Lang Clan could use later. Not only was it a place where they could likely collect a lot of wealth from, the presence of so many other types of cultivators made it a great place to collect information on these other powers. The only real downside was the undersea environnt ant they couldnt get a real asure of the other cultivators abilities. There was no telling how many capabilities were made useless when they were all fighting under the sea. There were many of Sages abilities that were extrely weak or ineffective in the Depths and he was sure he wasnt the only one.
They had to keep in mind that their intel on these other cultivators was limited in that way. Even so, it was a good source of information considering they had basically zero on these other groups otherwise. Sage was sure the ancestors knew more in this regard but they certainly werent sharing it. Since Sage still had no idea where theyd all co from or technically where the Depths even was, it wasnt that unusual for them to be kept in the dark. It seed that there was no worry of running into them in the Dou Kingdom or likely even in the whole of the Tianxia Empire. Sage could only guess it was one of those things deed above his pay grade, information that was withheld from the whole of the Lang Clan for who knows how long because it was sothing out of their reach and would only serve to act as a distraction.
For all I know maybe so old head of the Lang Clan was tired of the comparisons and destroyed all the info so the later generations could feel they were at the top. Maybe the knowledge of how small they were in the world demoralized them?
Whatever the reason was, he always felt that knowledge was power. Collecting information on these other groups was never a bad thing in his eyes. What was more interesting was these other types of cultivators had their own equipnt and consumables. It was highly possible that there were so interactions that could be used to their advantage. What if these other types of cultivators had weapons or items that could circumvent Formation Arrays or defensive Talismans? Not only would they need to be on guard against them, they could also use these weapons against their enemies in the Dou Kingdom. Even if it was unlikely for them to produce these items on their own without using other types of cultivation, they could still try and purchase them for ergencies.
They might also look into trading resources. There was a good chance that wherever these other cultivators were from, theyd have different common resources than the Lang Clan had access to. There was likely to be at least one or two resources that were common for these other cultivators that were rare for the Lang Clan and vice versa. The fee for a trip to the Depths was quite substantial, but as long as they could bring along enough storage treasures he was sure it could be worthwhile. It would be even easier if he were to go, but it runs into the sa issue he had before. Sage didnt want anyone to find out about his capabilities so hed have to restrict his trades to more reasonable amounts. So of the Lang Clan on the Inner World had discussed sending out proxies from their world to act as interdiaries to do the trades. Then he could collect far larger volus without giving away his identity, but Sage was worried that even trading such large amounts of goods in a short span would be suspicious. He was already able to collect a large number of Spirit Pearls at every city of the Depths he visited. If he were to completely clean them out then he was pretty sure the locals would start talking to each other and realize sothing unusual was going on. It was perfectly acceptable to just do things in a normal fashion. Their profit margins might not be as high, but it would be much safer.
After Yahui left, the rest of his children started showing up one by one. Turns out theyd been arguing after the eting left and finally had to draw straws to decide the order they got to visit him. He was actually pleasantly surprised to find out that out of the six who were paying him a visit tonight only two of them tried to push a secondary objective on him. Funny enough, it was Bingqing and Yujie, two of Jiaos daughters.
