"Since it has been confirmed that whale glue has such miraculous effects, this Sect Master has decided to personally go to the sea to hunt those whale Spirit Beasts in the near future to obtain more whale glue resources. As for you, you must acquire some whale glue through various secret channels as much as possible, to lay a foundation for the young ones in our Sect."
Chu Shanhe, sitting in the main seat, seemed to have been reborn at this moment, exuding a vibrant youthful energy that did not match his age.
Hua Shuwen, Second Elder, titled 'Jade Skin', standing by his side, also showed a relaxed smile and said softly, "Coincidentally, I've been free lately, so I might as well go with you. Perhaps we might even have some unexpected gains." With that, his gaze turned to the group of impatient young men below, and the smile on his face grew even brighter.
"But not everyone can go; some must stay to guard the home. Don't you understand the situation in the Yuntian Mountain Range?"
The Yuntian Mountain Range is close to the extreme north, not only is its terrain complex, but it is also a veritable barren land. Because of this, there are no powerful Spirit Master forces here.
However, this also makes the Yuntian Mountain Range a paradise for desperadoes and degenerates. These people might not be able to survive elsewhere, but in an environment like the Yuntian Mountain Range, they can act wantonly.
"Yuan Hua, Chen Zhen, Huang Qiyi, Zhou Zheng, and Han Xiang, the five of you are responsible for guarding the home. While we are away, you must be extremely vigilant. I do not wish to return to find that there is no home left." The speaker's gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on the five people whose names were called.
The five people whose names were called all responded, "We obey the command!"
Just as everyone was enthusiastically discussing what preparations were needed for going out to sea, a figure like a small transparent person suddenly raised his hand, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"That… last year, when I was stationed in Balak City, I heard that Duke Fisman seemed to have a fifty-thousand-year-old whale glue in his possession." Seventeenth's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet atmosphere.
"Fisman? The beastly Duke of the Balak Kingdom?" Chen Zhen rubbed his stubbled chin, his tone ambiguous. "Are you sure they have a fifty-thousand-year-old whale glue?"
Duke Fisman's mansion, a name notorious throughout the Douluo Continent.
The successive Dukes of Fisman could be said to have wantonly killed the innocent, bullied men and women, and committed all sorts of evil deeds.
The crimes they committed in the Balak Kingdom were simply too numerous to count.
However, because their Family had controlled one-third of the Balak Kingdom's military power for generations, the victims dared not speak out in anger.
Even when Spirit Hall caused trouble, it came to nothing due to the intervention of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Balak Royal Family, which only made them more rampant.
"Confirmed." Seventeenth nodded with great certainty, then recalled, "Last year, that old Fisman somehow got an Opportunity and actually Broke Through to level eighty. That old fellow, for some unknown reason, decided to go hunting sea Spirit Beasts in the ocean and actually succeeded in hunting a fifty-thousand-year-old Evil Demon Orca. After returning, he hosted a grand banquet and even showed off that piece of whale glue. This matter is known throughout Balak City."
"Evil Demon Orca? If I remember correctly, they are a gregarious species, aren't they? How did that old fellow manage it?" Han Xiang, who was petite, asked with a look of astonishment and an incredulous tone.
"Heh!" Yuan Hua, sitting on the right, curled his lip into a cold sneer and responded disdainfully, "Who cares how he did it? Since we know about it, we should help the Continent get rid of this menace."
"The Second Elder is absolutely right. Those beasts have been doing evil in Balak for many years and should have been killed long ago. This matter is the Body Sect's undeniable responsibility; we shall act on behalf of the Heavens."
Seventeenth's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly. He secretly calculated that a fifty-thousand-year-old whale glue, its effect would probably be no less than the legendary immortal-grade treasures, right?
However, just as his words fell, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him was somewhat strange. Everyone present was looking at him with speechless expressions.
Before Seventeenth could react, he heard a "bang," and Chu Shanhe unceremoniously gave him a sharp rap on the head, making his eyes sparkle with stars.
"You little brat, how many years have you been out there? Why have you learned so many tricks? If you're going to rob, then rob. Why be so hypocritical?"
The Spirit Master's world has always been about the strong preying on the weak, big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp. Back then, Yu Yuanzhen forcibly took someone's Family heirloom for his useless son, and no one said anything.
"Exactly, if Fisman hadn't Broken Through to level eighty, he wouldn't have gotten this whale glue. And our Body Sect is about to go hunting Spirit Beasts at sea, so that Evil Demon Orca is very likely to fall into our hands. Therefore, we are merely taking back what is rightfully ours."
Jiang Wu, standing by, had a righteous expression, which made everyone frequently cast sidelong glances at him. They had never noticed how shameless he was before!
"Alright, since we know the whereabouts of a top-grade whale glue, let's make a trip to Balak City first. Since ancient times, Heaven And Earth Treasure has belonged to those with affinity, and that whale glue has an affinity with our Body Sect." Chu Shanhe said calmly, his words full of a sense of entitlement.
Everyone looked on with admiration. It had to be the Sect Master, not blushing or skipping a beat.
"The Realm is still not enough!" a group of people sighed in their hearts.
Chu Shanhe ignored the thoughts of these young men. His gaze was like a torch, falling directly on Chen Zhen in the crowd, and then he spoke:
"As for Yi'er, his ability to discover the efficacy of whale glue is a great contribution to our Sect! According to the Sect's rules, he should be heavily rewarded. However, considering his young age, this reward will be temporarily put aside. It will be given to him when Chen Yi Awakens his Spirit in the future."
At this point, Chu Shanhe paused slightly, seemingly giving Chen Zhen some time to digest what he had just said. Then, he continued, "However, this Sect Master specially permits him to enter the Body Sect Secret Grounds to consult the Sect's ancient texts."
As soon as Chu Shanhe finished speaking, Chen Zhen was immediately overcome with excitement.
One must know that the Body Sect Secret Grounds contained the Body Sect's research achievements over the years and countless secret techniques from the Spirit Master's world that were never passed down!
It stored various precious materials, such as self-created Spirit Ability, spirit ring fusion secret techniques, Heart Separation Control, and so on.
These were the core secrets of the Sect and the fundamental reason why the Sect could stand strong.
Generally speaking, only the core high-ranking members of the Sect were qualified to enter the Body Sect Secret Grounds; others could not even touch the threshold.
And now, Chu Shanhe had actually granted Chen Yi special permission to enter the Body Sect Secret Grounds, which undoubtedly meant he was being groomed as a future high-ranking member of the Sect!
"Chen Zhen thanks the Sect Master on behalf of his son."
His son had always loved to read those Spirit Master texts, and the Sect Master's reward was exactly what he wanted. Anyway, he and those young men didn't see eye to eye, so it was better to get in touch with that knowledge early to save a lot of time for future Spirit Master Cultivation.
Everyone present looked envious. How could they not understand the Sect Master's intention?
As long as Chen Yi's Spirit was not too bad in the future, the Sect would definitely Cultivate him vigorously.
Moreover, the Sect Master had just said that the special privilege was just an appetizer, and the real reward would come after Chen Yi Awakened his Spirit. This reward was not difficult to guess.
"Double the training volume when we go back!" A group of people thought to themselves.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, everyone go back and prepare."
