Chapter 2223: Assigning Tasks
Liu Zhen handled the matter of reserving the land very smoothly. In less than an hour, Liu Zhen was already back to the plot that he chose.
After returning, Liu Zhen found that everything had already been taken care of by Zhao Hai. Liu Zhen was very satisfied with Zhao Hai’s performance.
Seeing Liu Zhen return, Zhao Hai immediately came over and said, “Big Brother Liu, how did it go?”
Liu Zhen smiled faintly and said, “It went smoothly. From now on, this place belongs to the Blood Knife Gang.” Liu Zhen’s voice was quite loud, so the people from the Blood Knife Gang were able to hear him. They immediately cheered. Although the location was very remote, it still meant that they now have a home in Demonheart City.
Liu Zhen waved his hand and said, “Alright. Don’t celebrate too much. Although this place is ours, it’s just an empty land. We still have to build everything ourselves. Everyone will be busy from now on.”
Everyone smiled. Despite Liu Zhen’s words, they were still happy. And they would even be happier once they see their home becoming more and more complete.
At this time, Zhao Hai looked at Liu Zhen and said, “Big Brother Liu, what are we going to build here? Do you have something in mind? Do we ask the Gang Leader about this?”
Liu Zhen smiled and said, “The Gang Master already planned everything out. Since it’s better for us to be low-key, it won’t be good if our home is too grand. I think we’ll build it according to the old headquarters of the Blood Knife Gang, only a bit bigger.” Zhao Hai naturally has no problems with this.
Liu Zhen didn’t immediately have everyone begin construction. Instead, everyone returned to the inn. Then Liu Zhen began to allocate tasks to everyone.
It was actually easy for cultivators to build anything. Unlike Forbidden Path Sect’s body cultivators, cultivators can use spiritual qi to mine rocks.
Quarrying and transporting was simple, the difficult part was plotting the building together. The most common method in the True Spirit Realm was using glutinous paste to stick stones together. This not only made strong structures, it was also cheap.
The yield of grain in the True Spirit Realm was very high. Because of this, grain was cheap. This made it cheap to bond stones together using grain pulp and mud.
Naturally, the powerful sects never used this method. What they used was a magical mixture and mud. This not only made a firm structure, it also gave the structure a resistance to spiritual qi.
For small gangs like the Blood Knife Gang, the special mixture was too expensive. It’s impossible for them to use this method.
Building a house was a specialized job. It wasn’t something that anyone can do whenever they want. Most cultivators don’t know how to build a house. If they had time to learn how to build a house, they would have used that time to cultivate.
Fortunately, there are people in the True Spirit Realm who specialize in construction. However, one would need to spend money to hire these people. Moreover, stones weren’t the only materials needed. All kinds of things were required. Because of this, Liu Zhen assigned people to procure the necessary supplies.
As for Zhao Hai, he was tasked to buy glutinous rice. The more he could buy, the better. After all, every construction project would need an astronomical amount of rice.
After the tasks were given, everybody returned to their rooms to prepare. When Zhao Hai entered his room, Ma Long and Liu Cai followed behind him. Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, “I’m going to send a message to Master.” The two nodded and returned to their own rooms. At the same time, they became more vigilant, helping Zhao Hai pay attention to the surroundings.
Upon entering his room, Zhao Hai immediately set a formation on the floor. After writing his message on the jade slip, he placed it on the transmission formation and then activated it. ℞άƝŐBËꞩ
The message from the transmission formation was for Wei Tiande. Since Wei Tiande doesn’t know Zhao Hai’s true identity, he also doesn’t know that Zhao Hai was a space ability user. Therefore, Zhao Hai could only send Wei Tiande a message through transmission formations.
After sending a message to Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai’s figure vanished from his room. The next moment, Zhao Hai appeared in the Tyrant Blade Sect’s residence 52.
Recently, the Tyrant Blade Sect was preparing for a full-out war. The Yin Yang Elders were also very busy. It was quite rare for them to be free. At this time, the Yin Yang Elders were having their rare rest in residence number 52, so Zhao Hai rushed over to meet them.
Seeing Zhao Hai come back, the elders were surprised. The Yin Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, did something happen? Aren’t you in the Forbidden Path Sect’s domain?”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Nothing happened. I just want to come back to see Masters. I have joined a gang called the Blood Knife Gang. It’s a small gang whose leader is at the Teleportation Stage. The gang just decided to move to Demonheart City and are now building their new headquarters. It will be easier for me to collect information about the Forbidden Path Sect in the future.”
The Yang Elder looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, “You, really. You said that you’re going to the underground world to investigate, now you’ve been reused and sent to investigate the True Spirit Realm. I really don’t know what to say. Who knows how many identities you will end up with.”
Hearing the Yang Elder, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but laugh, “Master, I don’t have that many identities. I’m a disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect, a Guest Member of the Long Clan, a True Disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect, and a member of the Blood Knife Gang. It isn’t a lot.”
The Yang Elder smiled bitterly and said, “You. Forget it. You should take care of yourself. The sect is preparing for an all-out war. Since you’re near a well-known sect in the Demonic Alliance, make sure to send us any news regarding the Forbidden Path Sect’s actions.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Master can rest assured, I will send news as soon as I get them.”
The Yin Elder replied, “Is there any movement from the ghost cultivators? Make good use of your identity as a True Disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect. You can’t relax on monitoring them just because you’ve been set to the True Spirit Realm.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Master, you can rest assured. I have everything under control. I just returned to see the two or you. I’m heading back right away. Masters, take care.”
The Yin Elder waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about us. It’s you that is in the tiger’s lair. You have to take care of yourself. Alright, you can’t be away for too long.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he cupped his fist towards the two elders before vanishing. Looking at the place Zhao Hai vanished from, the Yin Elder sighed and said, “The kid now has several identities. I feel tired just thinking about it. But this task can only be completed by him.”
The Yang Elder agreed, “We can only depend on him. But no matter what, he’s a disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect. Once we get an opportunity, let’s promote him to be a core disciple.”
The Yin Elder was stunned for a moment, then he lightly frowned and said, “There’s naturally no problems with promoting Little Hai to the core sect, but he also has an identity as a guest of the Long Clan. His identity is quite sensitive. Even if we agree as well as the sect master, I’m afraid some people will oppose it. After all, core disciples of the Tyrant Blade Sect have never been guest members of outside forces.”
The Yang Elder raised his brow and said, “No matter what, Little Hai needs to become a core disciple. Ask any core disciple of the core sect if they’re willing to become guest elders of the Long Clan in exchange for their core disciple status; almost all of them will agree. They might even be desperate to grab the opportunity.
The Yin Elder sneered, “The Long Clan will just look down on them. I reckon Little Hai doesn’t treat his identity in the Long Clan that seriously. In his heart, he’s still a disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect.”
The Yang Elder added, “When we have the chance, we should urge Little Hai. Being a guest resident of the Long Clan isn’t a simple status. After all, only the Long Clan has access to the planar passages of the True Spirit Realm. If Little Hai neglects his relationship with the Long Clan, the Long Clan might forget about him. The Long Clan has existed for many years, it has seen all kinds of geniuses. It would be a pity if Little Hai loses the ability to train in the other planes.”
The Yin Elder nodded and said, “The Long Clan wouldn’t foster talents for no reason. You’re right, we should remind Little Hai to pay attention to this matter.”
Although Zhai Hai didn’t know what the Yin Yang Elders were talking about, he didn’t immediately return to Demonheart City. Instead, he went to Coiling Dragon City next.
Zhao Hai directly appeared in front of Long Tian’s courtyard and knocked on the gate. Before long, Long Tian’s voice was heard, “Kid, it’s you. Come in.” Zhao Hai pushed the gate and entered.
Seeing Zhao Hai, Long Tian immediately gestured to him to come over. Then he said, “Kid, you’re back? Did something happen?”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Both Long Tian and the Yin Yang Elders asked the same thing when they saw him. Does he only appear when something goes wrong? But Zhao Hai also knows that they were only worried about him. So, he shook his head and said, “No, there’s nothing wrong. I just came back for a moment. At the same time, I want to inform you of the current situation.”
Long Tian waved his hand and invited Zhao Hai to sit down. Then he said, “Back then, you said that you’re in the Forbidden Path Sect and are going to Demonheart City. Did you arrive in Demonheart City?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Yes, we just arrived today. I also joined the Blood Knife Gang. The gang decided to move to Demonheart City, so I followed.”
Long Tian knit his brows and said, “Why did you join that gang? What if they find out who you are? Fortunately, the Long Clan also has a shop in Demonheart City. If you have time, get in touch with the shopkeeper there. The store’s name is the Abundance Hall. As long as you show them your identity token, they’ll lend a hand.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare, then he smiled bitterly and said, “The world is really small. I didn’t expect the Abundance Hall to belong to the Long Clan. We just delivered goods to the Abundance Hall. I’ll go there when I have time. As for joining the Blood Knife Gang, it’s a rushed matter. I have no choice but to join. Otherwise, my identity will be exposed.”
After that, Zhao Hai explained the situation. Finally, he said, “If I did not agree to join the Blood Knife Gang, Wang Da would certainly deal with me. I could only join in the end.”
Long Tian sighed and said, “Gold will always shine wherever it is. You’re a genius, it’s impossible for other people to let you go. Forget it, joining the Blood Knife Gang would also solidify your disguise. By the way, how come you have time to return?”
Zhao Hai told Long Tian what the Blood Knife Gang was doing. After hearing Zhao Hai, Long Tian frowned and said, “I can understand why the Blood Knife Gang would move to Demonheart City, but I didn’t expect that they would build their own headquarters. That will take a lot of work. Go to Abundance Hall tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything, just tell them that you want to buy glutinous rice. I will do the rest. They will know who you are and will secretly help you.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Alright. Elder, it’s been some time since I was out. I should go back. I’ll inform you if something happens.”
After Long Tian nodded, Zhao Hai disappeared in a flash. The next moment, he returned to his room in Demonheart City.
Just as Zhao Hai returned, the transmission formation on the ground lit up. Zhao Hai immediately knew that it was Wei Tiande’s reply. He took the lade slip on the transmission formation and used his spiritual force to read the contents.
