Chapter 1410
The reason they were willing to offer two valuable treasures to win over Xuan Shuize and bring him into the tribe was that they planned to discuss this matter after he became one of their own.
Upon hearing Elder Long's words, Xuan Shuize was completely bewildered. With such generous rewards from the Immortal Fate Conference, the competition for first place would inevitably be fierce and bloody. Yet Chen Xuan had sent a message back seven years ago, instructing Elder Long to begin cultivating talent.
If Xuan Shuize hadn't known Chen Xuan's background, he would have suspected that Chen Xuan was Emperor Xuanxiao's illegitimate son who had been living away from home.
That's not how you do it. That's a bit too arrogant, isn't it?
Of course, it's normal for Xuan Shuize to think this way, but Elder Long doesn't care about that. He chooses to trust Chen Xuan unconditionally—since Chen Xuan said he would get first place, he would definitely get first place. He has been preparing for seven years without hesitation.
“Since Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan is so confident, then we only need to follow what the letter says and cultivate talent. We are not at a high enough level to know how a king can govern and manage such a vast territory.” Xuan Shuize said solemnly after pondering for a while.
“That’s what I think too.” Elder Long nodded and added, “Three months from now, it will be the annual public disciple-acceptance ceremony of the major sects in Qingtian County.”
Elder Long smiled as he spoke, "This group of 36 youths are all geniuses whom our clan rigorously selected and heavily trained after settling here. They will be the first group to leave Qushan and the tribe to study under various sects in Qingtian County..."
There was longing and expectation in Elder Long's eyes. "I hope that with the cultivation that the tribe has provided over the years, they can make a name for themselves in the major sects and add high-level combat power to our tribe."
Xuan Shuize used to be in seclusion, while also keeping an eye on the enemy's invasion of Zelinhai. When he wasn't in seclusion, he would occasionally visit the Confucius Pavilion, Zhantian Pavilion, Longxia Pavilion, and Inheritance Hall set up by Longxia, and give some pointers to the younger generation of the Longxia clan. He knew that some of the new generation of Longxia had truly extraordinary talents, and he had even considered taking them as disciples.
"In that case, let's go and see these 36 people, and also give some pointers to these juniors." Having received such a great benefit, Xuan Shuize naturally needed to contribute—Chen Xuan wanted to accomplish something big, and if he succeeded, he would also have a share of the credit. So he immediately began to cultivate the clansmen that Elder Long valued.
"Excellent." Elder Long smiled with satisfaction, feeling that this deal was worthwhile given Xuan Shuize's dedication. The two then flew together towards the direction of Ze Lin Hai Long Xia Jiu Cheng.
In a palace within the inner city of Chongxiao City, the Nalan Clan was in a rather boring place. "How boring! I never expected that this time the assignment would be to guard the Soul Lamp Pavilion." A young man with delicate features and a clean appearance, dressed in a robe embroidered with the Nalan totem, sat cross-legged on a stone platform, complaining to another dark-skinned young man beside him, "We ambitious young people are currently in the process of improving our strength; how can we waste our time here?"
No matter how much the boy complained, the other dark-skinned boy remained seated, simply closing his eyes to cultivate.
"You're called a stone, and you really are a stone! Give me something!" The boy was getting increasingly bored. "We are merely a collateral branch of the tribe, not even worthy of the Nalan clan's surname. Being able to enter the clan's inner circle to obtain resources and guard the Life Collection Pavilion is already a great blessing. What more do you want?" The dark-skinned boy seemed somewhat impatient and said coldly. "You are truly unambitious and beyond redemption."
"Hey, I heard from one of my cousins that when he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was lucky enough to be assigned to the tribe's mining area. He was only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm when he went there, and he broke through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm in just twenty years. He said that the resources there are endless, the spiritual energy is incredibly rich, and you can get a lot of good things from those mine slaves." The boy said with longing in his eyes, "I wish I could be assigned to the tribe's mining area too."
Just then—snap!
Inside the quiet main hall.
A sound like wood breaking clearly reached their ears.
