Chapter 5104 — Spirit Jade Is No Problem
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao nodded and went straight to Xin Yi'an to make the request. Xin Yi'an agreed on the spot—as the disciple-uncle leading the expedition, he had that much privilege. Besides, the little island was reserved solely for the Northern Island Cangwu Sect and would not affect the other Ancient Sects; and since Wei Zhao himself could supply the spirit jade the teleportation required, it was nothing more than a word and a favor done at no cost. There was no reason to make difficulties.
Wei Zhao immediately teleported out and called Wu Chengtian and the others, telling them all to set off together. Once they reached the Shennongjia Mountains, he would go fetch them in person. Soon the whole crowd had gathered on the little island.
"Worthy of our Grand-Uncle-Master—to think you could find so many Heaven-Rank Great Perfection experts in the secular world! This disciple is in awe!" Xin Yi'an was utterly dumbstruck at the sight of Wu Chengtian and the rest in all their formidable array. He said to himself that it was a good thing Wei Zhao was a god of wealth in his own right; otherwise, if he had to supply the spirit jade for teleporting all these people himself, he would have been bankrupt!
Wei Zhao chuckled. If he told the man that he had single-handedly raised every one of them to their present strength, this cheap grand-disciple of his would surely pop his eyes right out of his head.
Once the shock passed, Xin Yi'an was overjoyed. Though Wei Zhao had not said outright that all these people were to join the Northern Island Cangwu Sect, anyone among them who succeeded in breaking through to Foundation Establishment and joined the Ancient Alliance would unquestionably be one of the Northern Island Cangwu Sect's own.
With Wei Zhao's connection standing there for all to see, Xin Yi'an even secretly speculated that they were cultivating the Qingyun Pingxin Manual. Given all that, could they possibly take up with any other Ancient Sect?
The most important item on any secular-world training expedition was recruiting disciples. To see a whole batch of prodigies with extraordinary aptitude about to fall into his hands—to Xin Yi'an these were all merits delivered to his doorstep. His standing and treatment in the Northern Island Cangwu Sect would rise at least a notch. This Grand-Uncle-Master who had appeared out of nowhere was simply his lucky star!
Of all those facing Wu Chengtian and the others' arrival, the most nervous was Leng Leng. For some inexplicable reason she had the feeling of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. After all, in Wei Zhao's little circle, she was an outsider through and through.
But once Wu Chengtian and the others crowded around her, calling her "sister-in-law" one after another, her face flushed crimson—yet deep down she felt considerably reassured. Since she had already decided to be with Wei Zhao, she had to fit properly into this little circle; otherwise, in the end, she would remain an outsider.
"Leader, this place is fine enough, but it's a pity there's no house to shelter us from wind and rain. It'd be bad if the weather turned," Wu Chengtian said, stroking his chin.
"True. Since we've all come over anyway, and there's nothing else to do, why not just build a seaside house for fun?" Kang Xiaofeng stepped up and suggested.
The rest of the Yubing crowd chimed in to agree. They were, after all, a band of Heaven-Rank Great Perfection experts; getting them to build a proper house would be a tall order, but knocking together a little wooden hut to keep off wind and rain was child's play.
"All right, then I'll leave it to you," Wei Zhao said with a nod. If it were only themselves, it would not matter, but the key was that Mengyao and the others had been brought along too—he could hardly leave the unconscious women out in the wind and sun. So long as the huts were built beside the spirit eye, they would absorb ample spiritual energy all the same.
