Immortal Path Space

Chapter 330: The Four Halls' Meeting

Since Gu Qingyang had already spoken up, Wang Hong couldn't easily refuse. He could just let Gu Wei follow him.

Gu Wei, although not very mature, lacked the arrogance often found in high-born disciples. He seemed more like an immature junior.

Moreover, Gu Qingyang had treated him well and patiently guided him in his cultivation, especially when he had questions.

What surprised Wang Hong even more was that he had acquired a medium-sized Spirit Vein from Gu Qingyang.

However, relocating his base after all these years meant abandoning many things, like the newly thriving Marketplace. Moving to a new place would require starting over, and most of his peripheral subordinates were only at the Qi Cultivation level, unable to control flying vessels, making the journey difficult.

Moving his management of the Heavenly Dao Trading Company, overseen by Liu Changsheng, wouldn't be suitable either, as it would expose his connection to the company. Besides, Liu Changsheng's base and Mountain Valley base were not far from each other, making it convenient for mutual support.

It seemed he would have to stay there for now and consider his options in the future.

Wang Hong heard that some Golden Core cultivators possessed the ability to absorb or move Spirit Veins. He would keep an eye out for information on this and hope he could relocate it later.

After leaving Gu Qingyang's cave mansion, Wang Hong returned to his own. With many disciples returning, the sect had regained its former lively atmosphere.

However, some people could never come back, like the chatterbox Sun Erma, who had died in the Boundary Mountain Range during this battle.

There was also Tian Qing, the female cultivator who had been saved by Wang Hong after being injured, but she had been swallowed by a sea Demonic Beast in the eastern battlefield.

And then there was Elder Brother from Kaiyang Peak, the blood descendant of the Peak Lord, who had suffered severe injuries.

Wang Hong went to visit him, and Elder Brother had both legs severed and had become almost crippled.

In the past, he used to be lively, enjoyed drinking, loved good food, and often drank and chatted with Wang Hong. But now, he was silent and reserved.

There were Spiritual Objects that could regenerate limbs, but Wang Hong knew of at least five such objects. However, all these Spiritual Objects were rare treasures of heaven and earth, on par with Wang Hong's Jade Marrow Mushroom, and were incredibly hard to come by.

Apart from these natural treasures, cultivators had some regenerative capabilities after reaching the Nascent Soul stage. But with Elder Brother's current state, reaching the Golden Core stage would be difficult, let alone Nascent Soul.

Elder Brother was one of Wang Hong's few friends in Qingxu Sect, and he had always taken care of him.

Wang Hong still remembered how Elder Brother had almost taken Zhao Ning's Zhao's Pill Shop when he thought Wang Hong was stuck at a bottleneck.

Seeing Elder Brother's current condition, Wang Hong empathized, and if there was an opportunity, he would definitely search for Spiritual Objects that could aid in bodily regeneration.

Qingxu Sect had four halls: Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, responsible for external battles and overseeing all combat personnel within the sect.

With the return of members from these four halls, their primary task now was to defend the sect against attacks from Treasure Hunters and the Demon Clan.

"If we have the strength, it's best to clear out all the Treasure Hunters and Demonic Beasts within our influence," said the hall masters as they gathered in a grand hall to discuss their battle plans. "Currently, all the major forces are acting independently, and our top priority is to protect the sect and not lose ground."Next, it was suggested, "We should allocate a portion of our manpower to clean up the Treasure Hunters and Demon Clan within our influence."

The hall master of the Blue Dragon hall, dressed in a blue robe with three strands of beard under his chin, his features slender, and his position the highest among the four halls, spoke up first.

"Currently, the outer areas beyond our sect are in chaos, preventing the planting of spirit fields and hindering the circulation of goods. We can sustain for a short time with our stockpile, but it's not a long-term solution."

The Black Tortoise hall master, a stout man, proposed, "If everyone is confined to their own sects, our resources will deplete over time. Furthermore, various forces can easily pick us off one by one."

"Black Tortoise hall master has a point, and it's well understood by all. However, our manpower is severely lacking at the moment. If the Demon Clan launches a major assault, even holding onto our sects will be challenging," voiced the White Tiger hall master, a female cultivator who meticulously analyzed the power balance between the sect and the Demon Clan, causing worry on the faces of the other three hall masters.

"Perhaps we can contact various groups of Treasure Hunters now and get them to join us in the fight against the Demon Clan. As long as they cooperate in fighting the Demon Clan, we can overlook their past mistakes. After all, they are Foundation Building cultivators like us, and we share a common goal in dealing with the Demon Clan."

This suggestion came from the Black Tortoise hall master, and it had a good chance of success because these Demonic Beasts slaughtered anyone they came across, regardless of their cultivation level.

"Humph! These Cultivation World scoundrels hid when we were fighting the Demon Clan. They didn't participate and instead took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble in the Cultivation World. If we let them off so easily, other cultivators won't accept it."

The Vermilion Bird hall master had a fiery and straightforward temperament, showing no tolerance for such behavior.

Speaking of these Treasure Hunters, the Blue Dragon hall master posed a question with a hint of suspense, "Regarding this matter, I do have some information, though I'm not sure if it's accurate. It is said that our Pill Hall has produced a talent this time, a person named Wang Hong. He is skilled in business and has established a trading company, as well as formed a merchant caravan. I don't know where he recruited a group of Foundation Building cultivators, but recently, the Foundation Building cultivators led by him have killed nearly half of the Treasure Hunters in our vicinity."

"Well done!" Before the White Tiger hall master could finish her words, she was interrupted by the enthusiastic approval of the Vermilion Bird hall master.
