"Ti may be lengthy."
"Five years, ten years, a hundred years."
"There’s only one purpose for this trip, that is to make a na. But I think your team is a bit too slow, do you think you could split up? Split into two teams, you lead one, and the Taoist Sect Master leads another?"
"That would be more efficient."
"Agreed."
Liu Zide, with a grave expression, said, "But if we are to pursue speed, two teams are not enough, I think we need at least five teams!"
"Five teams?"
Chen Qiu frowned and said, "Chao Tian Sect doesn’t have that many people capable of leading teams."
To lead a team, one firstly needs sufficient strength to hold their ground in the First Grade Continent, and secondly, enough intelligence, otherwise they wouldn’t even know how to make a na, and going would just be a futile effort.
"We do."
Liu Zide counted on his fingers, "I can lead one team, but I need a Chao Tian Sect disciple assigned to , otherwise I might not be able to hold sufficient sway. The Taoist Sect Master is strong enough and has been working with long enough to have the experience; he can certainly lead a team by himself."
"The external service elder Qu Gui from the Chao Tian Sect can also lead a team by himself; he has the strength and is flexible-minded."
"The Heavenly Axe Sect Master can lead one too; he managed the Taoist Sect well enough during the Taoist Sect Master’s absence, and with sufficient strength, he can completely handle a team."
"That makes four teams already."
"For the remaining team, I think the Dragon Clan Patriarch Ao Tian can also lead one by himself. Perhaps you haven’t noticed, Sect Master, but Ao Tian has been feeling rather down lately as he feels he has been of no use. The young dragons also need experience. If the Dragon Clan could have a team of their own, it would suffice in strength and intellect and give them the chance to gain experience."
"These Chao Tian Sect disciples could also be evenly distributed across the other teams to enhance the overall strength and fulfill the needed manpower."
"Besides—"
"I think the scholar can also lead a team himself; the Second Elder likes to travel. Last ti on Dragon Island, the Second Elder went off alone to look for opportunities. That makes six teams."
"Six teams, I think that should be enough."
"Hmm..."
Chen Qiu, thoughtful, nodded his head. There was so truth to it; he hadn’t realized Chao Tian Sect had so many usable people. He imdiately had Xiong Gao gather everyone to announce this matter.
...
"..."
Chen Qiu, with an expressionless face, looked at the jubilant crowd. He had been prepared to do so ideological work, as this trip could potentially an decades away. Without so prior ideological preparation, who knows whether they would remain loyal to Chao Tian Sect or even want to go at all.
But unexpectedly,
Everyone seed very excited; even Ao Tian wore a rare look of excitent, raising his cup and pounding his chest as he shouted, "Sect Master, rest assured, our Dragon Clan will definitely be the most effective team."
"Nonsense."
Qu Gui, standing on a chair, yelled, "My team will certainly be the best at making a na."
It was apparent.
Everyone seed to enjoy this mission and wanted to venture out, and why not... Usually, opportunities all ca his way, and while staying in Chao Tian Sect was safe and resourceful, it indeed lacked the hardships and adventures of the Cultivation Path.
Since everyone desired to strike out, he no longer needed to do any more ideological work.
He imdiately waved his hand.
He had Liu Zide and the Taoist Sect Master teach their experiences to others throughout the night.
...
The next morning, the six teams had already assembled.
That night, these six team leaders had also nad their teams.
The first team, led by Liu Zide called the "Loyalty" team, solemnly saluted Chen Qiu before walking towards Deceit Buddha, who waved his sleeve and the group instantly vanished.
Following were—
Qu Gui led the "Cackling" team.
Ao Tian led the "Heaven and Earth" team.
The Taoist Sect Master led the "Loyal Qiu" team.
The Heavenly Axe Sect Master led the "One Love" team.
After saying goodbye to Chen Qiu, each team moved to stand beside the Deceit Buddha and disappeared on the spot.
"..."
Watching the last team vanish, Chen Qiu glanced around, sighed softly, and remarked that the Chao Tian Sect was always bustling; suddenly, it felt unusually empty, as all the disciples had been dispatched.
Those disciples even took their maids with them.
This resulted in only a few scattered individuals remaining instantaneously at the Chao Tian Sect.
Fat Long, Xiong Gao, his maid, and Xing Dou, along with other logistical support staff.
Honestly, there was so reluctance.
Before their departure, he had given each team leader a Sound Transmission Ring, capable of communication across different grade continents, naturally of great value, not sothing he could possess on his own.
Even the Bai Family Patriarch didn’t have one; the Bai Family Patriarch relied on incense, which wasn’t a permanent solution like the Sound Transmission Rings.
He had asked for these from the Deceit Buddha.
The Deceit Buddha had given them generously, showing that even a cal on the verge of death remains richer than a living horse—the Deceit Buddha still had so resources left.
Chen Qiu subconsciously looked at the Deceit Buddha and just then t his gaze, both seeing the relief in each other’s eyes. Clearly, the deal had satisfied both parties imnsely, solving a long-standing issue each had harbored.
"Chen Qiu."
The Deceit Buddha walked up to Chen Qiu, took a deep breath, and spoke seriously, "So this is indeed a final goodbye, and I’ll await your good news. Rest assured, once the remaining two strands of the Luck of Yin Soul are accounted for, there will be major rewards!"
"Rest assured about your people; leave them to . I’ve already inford the other clan mbers to assist your people if they encounter danger, within their capabilities," the Deceit Buddha reassured him.
"Mhm."
Chen Qiu smiled at the Deceit Buddha, "Then I wish you an early ascent to the position of the Evil God."
"With your good words, I also wish you an early Ascension to Immortal Realm."
...
After the Deceit Buddha had left, the Bai Family Patriarch finally couldn’t hold back, approached Chen Qiu anxiously, and whispered, "Well, Master Chen, I ca to you first, and about my daughter..."
"Don’t worry."
Chen Qiu patted the Bai Family Patriarch’s shoulder, smiling, "You will be prioritized. After all, we’ve known each other the longest, and our friendship is the deepest, right? Your daughter is like my niece, all in the family. How could I not care?"
"That settles it then..."
Reassured by Chen Qiu’s promise, the Bai Family Patriarch breathed a sigh of relief. He had hesitated to speak earlier because of the Deceit Buddha’s presence, and then he rembered another important matter, his brow furrowed as he hesitantly asked, "Master Chen, did the Deceit Buddha just say ’Immortal Cancer’ is a divine affliction that only immortals can contract? What about my daughter...?"
"Hmm."
Chen Qiu nodded and said softly, "That’s why I told you to prepare yourself ntally. I didn’t bring this up before because I was worried any special circumstances involving your daughter might leak and potentially lead to deadly repercussions."
"I think your daughter might be a reincarnated Immortal."
"Or she might have been maliciously inflicted with ’Immortal Cancer,’ but it seems that this affliction cannot be manipulated manually."
"Think carefully about any peculiarities about your daughter."
"Peculiarities." The Bai Family Patriarch pondered anxiously for a mont before speaking uncertainly, "She was born from a fairy; does that count as a peculiarity?"
"A fairy?"
Fat Long’s eyes flickered with a strange light, "Is the term fairy used here as an adjective, or are you talking about a real fairy?"
"A real fairy."
The Bai Family Patriarch took a deep breath and no longer concealed the truth, "That was my greatest opportunity. After my first night with that fairy, I received a powerful Red Entry. It’s a long story..."
