"East Master, how should we treat the new recruits of five hundred?" Xu Lun, having been assigned to oversee logistics, immediately took on his role.
"These five hundred should receive slightly better treatment than those in the Outer Valley. However, when it comes to exchanging battle merits, they should be on par with the Inner Valley cultivators."
It's worth noting that the treatment for Inner Valley cultivators is quite high. Wang Hong possesses a large number of Spiritual Objects that aren't convenient to distribute freely. Inner Valley cultivators can exchange a significant amount of cultivation resources every month using contribution points.
So, while the talents of Inner Valley subordinates may not be particularly outstanding, their progress in cultivation is relatively rapid. Those who don't know the details might think they all have exceptional potential.
"After you have trained these five hundred people, I will lead everyone to attack a mountain peak," Wang Hong said after pausing for a moment.
"What? We're going there?" Everyone was a bit surprised, as the current situation didn't seem conducive to major actions.
"I am preparing Spiritual Herbs for refining into a Golden Core. I have already collected most of them, but I'm still missing three types of Spiritual Herbs. I have obtained information that these three Spiritual Herbs are being cultivated in the Chuyun Sect. However, Chuyun Sect has already been wiped out by Demonic Beasts, and now their old site is occupied by a group of Purple Flame Lions. After some time, we will prepare to attack the old site of Chuyun Sect to search for the Spiritual Herbs."
Refining into a Golden Core is of significant importance, and although it carries some risks, it's something he must do.
"During this time, you should all work on strengthening your abilities as much as possible. I will provide another batch of Green Spirit Peach, and I'll also bring out all the Essence Core Pills from our stock for everyone to exchange and use."
After Wang Hong finished speaking, he disbanded the meeting, and everyone had their tasks to attend to.
Xu Lun had to prepare supplies, while Zhang Chunfeng and the others were planning to recruit personnel from the Outer Valley.
After the meeting, Wang Hong went to the warehouse and retrieved a large pile of blank Jade Scrolls. These blank Jade Scrolls were made from jade stones imbued with Spiritual Qi and refined using special techniques to create them.
Back in his cultivation chamber, he entered the spatial realm with these Jade Scrolls.
He planned to replicate all the knowledge he had learned in the Qingxu Sect for his subordinates to study. Although they had a library before, it was relatively small, and the materials they could collect were all common knowledge. Even a fool knew that the cultivation techniques and secret manuals readily available outside couldn't be of much value.
This was one of Wang Hong's original goals when he wanted to join the Sect. Without becoming a Sect Disciple, there was no chance to access those profound secret manuals.
Therefore, during his years in the Qingxu Sect, he treasured this opportunity for learning, using the passage of time in the spatial realm to solidify his theoretical foundation in every aspect of cultivation.
Before, he dared not easily disseminate Sect knowledge, but now that even the Qingxu Sect was no more, he no longer feared being traced.
He also slowly removed the golden ring left by the Blood Contract in his Nascent Soul. He was no longer afraid of the Blood Contract backlash.
With these Jade Scrolls, he believed that his power would truly begin to grow.
Inside the spatial realm, Wang Hong painstakingly duplicated each Jade Scroll using his Divine Sense. When he got tired, he rested for a while within the spatial realm, and if he couldn't endure it any longer, he would step out and have a cup of Qiu Long Tea.
Perhaps it was due to the aging process or the mutation of this kind of Spirit Tea, but he felt that the current Qiu Long Tea was different from before.
The current Qiu Long Tea had greatly improved effects on recovering Divine Sense.
After his Divine Sense had recovered, he continued to replicate the Jade Scrolls.
Unfortunately, most of the Jade Scrolls Wang Hong replicated from the Sect Scripture Tower bear his imprint, making them unreadable to others. They would need to be replicated again individually.
It took Wang Hong over a month to replicate only one-third of the scrolls. For now, he decided to store these in the library. To accommodate the growing collection, he had Yin Ze build a tall tower for housing the scrolls. The Qingxu Sect's library had accumulated knowledge for tens of thousands of years, so one can imagine the sheer volume of materials.
During the time Wang Hong was replicating the Jade Scrolls, Zhang Chunfeng and others had already successfully recruited personnel. They had recruited more than thirty Foundation Building cultivators in total, with the rest being in the Qi Cultivation stage. Most of them were individuals who had originally sought refuge when retreating from the first defensive line.
These people were accustomed to this style of training, having practiced it before, and now that they were reorganized, their progress was relatively swift.
Wang Hong personally inspected their progress and found that, at the very least, they understood discipline and cooperation, and they could follow orders.
Satisfied with their progress, he bid them farewell and left the Mountain Valley.
The residence where Liu Changsheng was located had been transformed, and from the outside, it appeared uninhabited. The surroundings were filled with Devilish Vine and Red Powder Skull Flowers.
"East Master! According to intelligence reports, during the recent major battle with Qingxu Sect, two Nascent Soul ancestors were injured and fled, while the Sect's leader died in battle. Most of Qingxu Sect's several hundred thousand cultivators were slaughtered by Demonic Beasts, except for those who managed to break free from the encirclement. There are scattered survivors among the cultivators, some of whom have disappeared, but the majority have gone into hiding in this area. The death toll from this battle is estimated to be Ninth Layer or higher."
Liu Changsheng paused after delivering this information. Although he was not a Qingxu Sect Disciple and had no emotional attachment to the sect, the tragic fate of his fellow cultivators stirred a sense of empathy within him.
"What is the current situation with the Demon Clan?" Wang Hong inquired.
"About ten days ago, the main forces of these Demonic Beast groups started moving southward. Currently, the old Qingxu Sect site is jointly guarded by several Demonic Beast factions from the West Zhou Demon Realm. Due to the inability to approach and observe closely, the exact number is unknown," Liu Changsheng reported.
"Alright, as long as we know that the main forces of the Demonic Beasts have left, we can learn more about the situation around the old Qingxu Sect site later. There's no rush; safety comes first."
Wang Hong had never considered the idea of attacking the old Qingxu Sect site. Since the Demon Clan had worked so hard to take it over, they wouldn't give it up easily and would undoubtedly station many high-tier Demonic Beasts there.
What he was concerned about was that once the main force of the beast horde left, the density of Demonic Beasts in the vicinity would decrease, making travel safer.
"What about the intelligence on the old Chuyun Sect site?" he asked.
"According to the investigation, within that old site, there is a three-tier Purple Flame Lion and over a hundred second-tier Purple Flame Lions, along with... Do you need our assistance?" Liu Changsheng asked.
"No, your primary task is still to collect various types of information."
Since Liu Changsheng excelled at gathering information, assassinations, and covert operations, using him for direct combat would be a waste of his talents. Additionally, keeping the immortal way trading company at a certain distance from Mountain Valley would maintain an air of mystery, making it easier for Wang Hong to deflect blame.
Wang Hong helped them adjust and reinforce the formations in this area and left them with ample resources before departing.
Back in Mountain Valley, he took out a hundred Foundation Establishment Pills. He intended to select a hundred individuals from the training teams and grant them Foundation Establishment Pills to help them reach the Foundation Building stage.
This announcement stirred most of the people in the mountain. Those who received the Foundation Establishment Pills were naturally thrilled, while those who didn't couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy, sparking various emotions.
In secret, most of them redoubled their efforts in training, hoping to have their chance next time.
