Chapter 1300 - 1300: Enter the Closed-Door Cultivation Again

"Don't worry about my tasks. I'll leave it to you to manage and distribute these resources to our people. I hope it'll be of great benefit to them. The greater the number of strong people we have, the more beneficial it will be for us in the future."

Understood, Grand Leader!

"Grand Leader, please rest assured, I'll do my best," Elder Bo-Tian firmly replied to Zheng-Fu. This task was not difficult for him at all. Moreover, managing the resources of the clan was already the Grand Elder's duty. If he could not do such a task, he would not be fit to continue in this position.

Very good!

"Hearing this, I can rest assured. By the way, how many Great Deity Stage skilled masters do we have now?"

After assigning the task, Zheng-Fu asked the elder about the important matters that he was concerned about, as the Great Deity Stage skilled masters would be the foundation of his clan after they left the Eternal Continent.

"Currently, we have a total of over fifty Great Deity Stage skilled masters, most of whom are at the first to third levels. There are only a few dozen at the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels. There are four people at level seven, and only one at level nine, which is Grand Elder, sir." Elder Zi-Liang replied. He was in charge of taking care of all the personnel to help relieve Elder Bo-Tian's burden, so he had information on the skilled masters and the number of people living in this secret dimensional space.

Umm…

"That's fine, but it would be better if we had more intermediate Great Deity Stage skilled masters, and you guys also need to advance to the eighth level quickly."

Zheng-Fu listened to the report and nodded slightly in satisfaction, but that was not what he was most satisfied with. Although there were over fifty Great Deity Stage skilled masters, most of them were only at the initial level. If he wanted his Tian-Tang Clan to survive in the cruel and chaotic world, his clan needed to have more intermediate and advanced Great Deity Stage skilled masters.

Just like the major clan in the Demon Race's capital, each clan had hundreds of Great Deity Stage skilled masters. Although most of them were only at the initial level, there were many more of them at the intermediate and advanced levels than he had now. As for the leading clans in Deity Land that he had come from, Zheng-Fu was not sure how strong they were. However, if he used his father-in-law's Monster Emperor clan as a standard, they were comparable to or even higher than the major clans in this capital.

"We know, sir Grand Leader. However, the advancement of those at the Great Deity Stage is not easy. Especially for us who are at the seventh level, to break through to the eighth level, we may need luck and three-star deity medicine or above to help us. Otherwise, we might have to wait another ten or twenty years," Elder Ma-Long-Hao replied with a heavy heart.

It was not easy for him and the other three elders at the seventh level of the Great Deity Stage to advance to the eighth level. Without good help, it would take them decades. Just being able to advance to the seventh level in such a short period was already considered their luck.

"You guys don't have to worry about that. We have plenty of resources available to use right now. If there's anything that can help you, feel free to use it. However, ... I hope you all can advance to the eighth level before I complete my main mission!"

Zheng-Fu understood Elder Ma-Long-Hao's feelings very well. Therefore, he allowed the four of them to freely use the resources in the treasury because he also wanted them to level up by the time he finished the mission.

Umm!!!

Yes, sir!!!

When the four heard Zheng-Fu's words, the blood in their bodies boiled violently. As far as they know, the treasures stored in Zheng-Fu's treasury were all excellent items that could help them quickly advance their energy levels. Whether it was the three-star and four-star Deity Energy Boosting Medicine, the magic treasure that could double the absorption of energy, or the rare herb that could speed up the energy development process to be more stable than before, these were all great helpers.

Now that they were allowed to fully use them, they felt very excited and happy. However, this joy was also accompanied by sadness and uncertainty. If they used these precious items but still could not develop, it would be a great pity and regret. They hesitated at the end when they thought about this point.

"All right! We don't have much time now. Let's split up to cultivate our energy. In the next three days, no one is allowed to disturb me unless it's something that really cannot be handled."

Zheng-Fu had said everything he needed to say, so he cut off and did not say anything more. He did not have much time for his closed-door cultivation to break through to the seventh level.

Understood, Grand Leader!!!

Everyone immediately clasped their hands to acknowledge Zheng-Fu's order before they dispersed. Only Elder Bo-Tian remained as if he had something he wanted to say to Zheng-Fu and waited for the others to leave first.

"Master Grand Elder, what's wrong? If you have something, just say it. We're now a family," said Zheng-Fu. He did not beat around the bush, but immediately asked straight to the point.

"Grand Elder is so generous. Actually, I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please listen to me for a moment?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"About ten years ago, I adopted a daughter. However, due to some circumstances, we were separated. If possible, I'd like to ask Grand Elder to help me find her," the elder said with a very sad expression. He was very concerned about his adopted daughter because she was a kind and innocent person. He hoped that Zheng-Fu would help him find her. Although he was not sure if she was still alive, he could not abandon her without knowing the truth.

Your adopted daughter?!

Yes!

Hmm…

"Sure! By the way, what's her name? And where were you and she separated?"

Zheng-Fu had a slightly shocked and puzzled expression before nodding. He thought that after he finished cultivating energy, he would try to find her for the elder.

"She and I were separated in Dancing Swan City, north of the capital city. Her name was 'Mei-Lu'. She was a lovely and beautiful little girl. Oh no! She must have grown into a young lady by now. It's been almost ten years since we were separated."

The elder briefly told Zheng-Fu the details he could remember about his adopted daughter, including where they had separated. However, it was information from ten years earlier, so it was quite difficult for him to determine the appearance of the young woman at this time.

"I understand. By the way, don't you have any more recent information? If you only know this much information, I'm afraid it'll be too difficult to find her before we leave this world."

Hearing this, Zheng-Fu frowned slightly. The information the elder had was too old. And he wondered if the elder had not searched for his adopted daughter during the whole time they had been separated.

"I understand what Grand Leader is thinking. In fact, I have searched for her until I'm exhausted. Since I can't move around much, my access to her information is limited. However, it's not like I don't know anything. As far as I know, she was adopted by a dance troupe, but I didn't have the chance to investigate her further because I was hunted down again."

A dance troupe?!

Hearing that, Zheng-Fu suddenly thought of someone. It was a beautiful young woman from the Cloud Gazing Hall. She and the elder's adopted daughter had the same name and were also in the dance troupe. However, he could not conclude whether they were the same person.

"Master Grand Elder, rest assured. After the next three days, I'll try to find her. By the way, if I find her, what can I tell her about you?" Zheng-Fu asked with thoroughness.

He understood that sometimes, people could not reveal their true identities, especially those who were being hunted down or those who wanted to hide themselves from the outside world. When these people met strangers, they would not easily reveal their true identities to others. Therefore, when they needed to show themselves, they had to find something or say something to prove their identity.

Umm!

Blop!

"This is the hairpin I promised to buy for her on her birthday. If she sees this, I believe she'll know right away. But if she still doesn't believe it, Grand Leader just said, 'Your father loves you very much. Even though you're my adopted daughter, even though we're different races, in the end, I'm your father.' This is what I always say to her all the time."

The elder took out a hairpin. Although it was not very beautiful or exquisite, it reflected the value in it. This might be the elder's feelings for his adopted daughter.

"I understood. I'll do my best. Now, please go back first. I'll start cultivating my energy."

Yes, sir, Grand Leader!

When Elder Bo-Tian left, Zheng-Fu headed back to his private residence that everyone had prepared for him. This main residence was very well-built, from the house to the garden, the pond, the training courtyard, and many other things. It could be said that this residence was fully equipped with facilities.

In Zheng-Fu's bedroom...

"Three days after this, I hope I can break through to the seventh level!"

Siiiiiiigh...

After arriving at the residence, Zheng-Fu immediately went into his bedroom. He then took out rare herbs, special ores that were packed with Heavenly Deity Energy, magic items that could accelerate cultivation, five-star Deity Energy Boosting Pills, and many more that would help him break through the bottleneck, and placed them in front of him. Then he muttered to himself in anticipation and let out a final long sigh, before closing his eyes and immediately starting to cultivate the energy.

Start!

Whooooosh!!!

Groooaaan!!!
