Chapter 168: Returning to the Sect
Xiao Wu and Zhuqing had finished absorbing the Immortal Herbs, and another day had passed.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had also finally finished absorbing their Spirit Bones.
Before anyone had arrived, a string of laughter like silver bells quickly drifted over from the distance.
It was Dugu Yan’s laughter!
Dugu Yan trotted all the way back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well deep in the valley. Like a fledgling bird returning to the forest, she brought with her an intoxicating fragrance and threw herself into Lu Chen’s arms.
She didn’t care at all about the fiery glares coming from Xiao Wu and Zhuqing nearby.
Dugu Yan pressed her Face tightly against Lu Chen’s chest, and with a tone of excitement and surprise, she said:
"Lu Chen, you definitely can’t imagine what a huge improvement the three Spirit Bones you gave me have brought me."
"One Mental Permanence Skull Bone raised my mental force to a level approaching a Titled Douluo, and one Mirror Reflection Right Arm Bone raised my spirit power from Rank 62 to Rank 65."
"And that external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, although it didn’t bring me any increase in spirit power, it further improved my physical fitness. This external Spirit Bone is the most precious; it has brought me infinite possibilities."
"Thank you, thank you so much. How should I thank you to express the gratitude in my heart!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and reached out to gently pat Dugu Yan on the back:
"Yan Yan, if you want to thank me, then join my Longevity Sect. You are already at Rank 65 spirit power. Keep working hard, and once you Breakthrough to Rank 70 spirit power and absorb your Seventh Spirit Ring to become a Spirit Saint, you can serve as a Hall Master."
"Within the Longevity Sect, I will establish the Green Phosphorus Hall for you to recruit and train Control Spirit Masters to serve as the strategic support force for the Longevity Sect."
"Xiao Wu’s Soft Bone Hall consists of Power Attack Spirit Masters responsible for frontal assaults, and Zhuqing’s Nether Hall consists of Agility Attack Spirit Masters responsible for flanking and harassment."
"Your Green Phosphorus Hall will consist of Control Spirit Masters responsible for controlling the entire battlefield and providing strategic support to weak points."
"As the Sect Master of this Longevity Sect, I can now be called the number one Support Soul Master on the continent. I will provide you all with comprehensive support."
"The basic framework of such a Sect can be considered built. What remains is to continuously recruit elite Disciples and truly develop our Longevity Sect."
Hearing Lu Chen’s arrangements for her, Dugu Yan nodded and agreed without hesitation:
"No problem. Wherever you are, I will always stay by your side. Since it is a Sect established by you, I will definitely be a part of it."
"I am willing to serve as the Hall Master of the Green Phosphorus Hall and lead a powerful and reliable team of Control Spirit Masters for you."
Just as Lu Chen and Dugu Yan were talking, a cough drifted over from afar:
"Ahem..."
It was Dugu Bo!
He had also finished absorbing two 20,000-year Spirit Bones, which allowed his strength to advance further, breaking through from Rank 95 spirit power to Rank 96.
Now Dugu Bo was beaming with pride, never having expected that in his lifetime he could become a Rank 96 Super Douluo.
One must know that his mortal enemy, Spirit Hall’s Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, was currently still just a Rank 95 Super Douluo.
Dugu Bo had already firmly surpassed Yue Guan!
How could Dugu Bo not feel happy about this!
Dugu Bo coughed twice, put his hands behind his back, and assumed a calm and collected posture. He said with an arrogant tone:
"Lu Chen, how do you plan to arrange for this old man? I am now a Rank 96 Super Douluo; I am also qualified to establish a Sect."
"If I join your Longevity Sect, if you give me a low position, wouldn’t I be losing Face?"
Lu Chen smiled. Currently, his Longevity Sect was still a makeshift operation. Since he had pulled Dugu Bo in, he definitely had to fully utilize his role.
He gave Dugu Bo plenty of Face and said:
"Big Brother Dugu, you are a Senior. We youngsters don’t have your extensive knowledge and rich experience."
"I plan to have you serve as the Grand Elder of the Longevity Sect’s Inner Sect, responsible for holding down the fort at the Longevity Sect and deterring any petty scoundrels. With your reputation as the Poison Douluo, surely no one would dare to come to the Longevity Sect to cause trouble."
"Furthermore, from now on, when Outer Sect Disciples of the Longevity Sect are promoted to Inner Sect Disciples, Big Brother Dugu will have to be the gatekeeper, examining the loyalty, talent, character, Spirit potential, and strength of the Outer Sect Disciples... selecting the best of the best to become Inner Sect elites."
Lu Chen paused, then said with high Spirits:
"In my vision, the Longevity Sect is divided into the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect. The Inner Sect consists of elite Disciples, composed of Yan Yan’s Green Phosphorus Hall, Xiao Wu’s Soft Bone Hall, and Zhuqing’s Nether Hall."
"The Outer Sect consists of ordinary Disciples. In the future, any Spirit Masters recruited from outside must first enter the Outer Sect. Those with excellent talent will be promoted to the Inner Sect, while those with average or lower talent will remain in the Outer Sect, responsible for creating wealth for the Sect."
"Once we return this time, I plan to send people to seize the forests, lakes, fields, mines, salt pools, restaurants, and shops that originally belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... Even if we can’t swallow the entire commercial map of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I will seize all of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School’s fixed assets."
"Our Sect cannot just sit and eat away at our reserves; we must have a stable source of funds. The output from these fixed assets will basically cover our Sect’s daily expenses."
Hearing that his position was the Grand Elder of the Longevity Sect’s Inner Sect, with a lofty status, responsible for holding down the fort, holding significant power, and being in charge of the promotion of Outer Sect Disciples to Inner Sect Disciples, Dugu Bo felt very satisfied.
After all, he was a Titled Douluo powerhouse who shook the continent. Although he had already agreed to join Lu Chen’s Sect, if Lu Chen had just casually given him a position to brush him off, he would have lost a lot of Face.
Dugu Bo took a deep look at Lu Chen:
"Your Longevity Sect, although currently still a makeshift operation, has a very clear internal structure. I believe that it won’t take long before it becomes a powerful force second to none on this continent."
"I agree to serve as the Grand Elder of your Longevity Sect’s Inner Sect."
"What are your plans? Are we leaving now?"
Lu Chen nodded and replied:
"Yes, now that Big Brother Dugu and Yan Yan have finished absorbing their Spirit Bones, and Xiao Wu and Zhuqing have finished absorbing their Immortal Herbs, there is no need to continue staying in the Ice and Fire Valley. Let’s set off and return to our Longevity Sect!"
That seven-star dragon tongue orchid would need at least two more days to grow to the point where it could be harvested.
Lu Chen couldn’t possibly stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well forever!
He had the Space Slash Spirit Ability, which allowed him to tear through space and return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at any time.
As long as he persisted in coming back every day to cast All Rivers Run to Sea from his Blue Silver Domain on the seven-star dragon tongue orchid, he could accelerate the growth speed of the seven-star dragon tongue orchid without having to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every moment.
Subsequently, Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo flew by himself!
Lu Chen flew while carrying Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing!
There was no helping it; Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing were unwilling to be separated from Lu Chen, so Lu Chen had no choice but to carry all three of them.
About two hours later!
The group of five returned to the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Lu Chen sought out Xu Mo and obtained the list of Outer Sect Disciples from him. Looking at the names, Spirit categories, and spirit power Ranks one by one, along with a few simple introductions, he gained a preliminary understanding of these Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples who had been incorporated.
Then, Lu Chen instructed Xu Mo to arrange for these 800 Outer Sect Disciples to take the land deeds of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and go to take over the forests, lakes, fields, mines, salt pools, restaurants, and shops that originally belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...
There was no need to fear trouble; if there was any trouble, they should come back and report it to him, and he would go and solve these troubles one by one.
Lu Chen didn’t believe it!
The core upper echelon of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, as well as the six Spirit Douluo and eighteen Spirit Saints—had all already died at his hands.
Could those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples stationed in various places really dare to put up a desperate struggle?!
If nothing else, Lu Chen would just kill them all again...
