Chapter 1709: Praying Disciple Business

Upon hearing Zhang Feng, Zhao Hai knitted his brows and said, “So it’s like that. It seems like there’s no way to control the foreign trial. But in any case, Senior Brother needs to have a base outside the sect. Those Nascent Soul Experts have families behind them. If you want to take them in, you have to arrange a good place for them. If you don’t meet their requirements, then those people won’t help you. When the time comes, you would be in trouble if ever they decided to betray you.”

Zhang Feng also frowned as he said, “This is really a problem. There are a lot of people currently staring at the Phoenix Cry Peak. If people discover them, then it would be troublesome. Where do you think we should build the base?”

Zhao Hai thought for a moment before he smiled faintly and said, “Senior Brother, I have a good idea for a base. However, it would need a long time to be established.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng couldn’t help but be interested, “What is it? Will it be safe?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “It’s absolutely safe. It’s in the sky, very close to us.” After he said that, Zhao Hai pointed at the bones on the ground.

Zhang Feng stared, then his eyes shone as he looked back at Zhao Hai and said, “You mean the large artifact?”

Zhao Hai gave a faint smile as he said, “Yes. I still can’t shrink the ghost-face s.h.i.+p, but the treasure s.h.i.+p can shrink. We can shrink the treasure-s.h.i.+p and place it inside the ghost face s.h.i.+p. This way, we can put numerous treasure s.h.i.+ps inside the ghost-face s.h.i.+p. This could act as a miniature realm in which you are the master. Everything will be under your control. What do you think?”

Zhang Feng’s eyes shone, he could hardly keep himself still. He stood up and walked back and forth a few times before he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Will that really work? If it could, how many people could we house inside?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “It would definitely work. And you can place as many people as you want. Maybe you can establish a few holy realms by yourself to provide you with faith power.”

Zhang Feng stopped as he looked at Zhao Hai with bright eyes. After some time, he said, “If that is the case, then that would be great.”

To be honest, of all the things that Zhao Hai said, the last thing moved Zhang Feng the most. Holy realms were places where praying disciples stayed. These praying disciples were those people who provided faith power to the sects and only knew how to pray. Sects held very strict control over these people. People like Zhang Feng would never be able to get in contact with them.

The faith power that these people provide was the most important resource of the Great World of Cultivation. And it was this resource that Zhang Feng could only get from the Black Tiger Gang. This was where he was most worried about. If there was a problem with the supply of faith power in the Black Tiger Gang, then his Phoenix Cry Peak would be in distress.

In fact, it would not only be Phoenix Cry Peak, every power in the Black Tiger Gang would be in trouble. 

And just like what Zhao Hai said, having these praying disciples in his large artifact meant that he would have a holy realm for himself. In this case, even if he went head-on against the Hu Clan, he would still have resources to use.

Although Tie Zhantian was the Black Tiger Gang’s sect leader, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to the allocation of faith power. At this point, as Zhang Feng’s faction continues to grow, its need for faith power is also increasing.

If what Zhao Hai said was true, then this one important problem would be solved. This was crucial to the future development of the faction.

Zhao Hai looked at Zhang Feng and said, “Senior Brother, I think you should worry about getting praying disciples. You don’t have to worry about the large artifact. Once the foreign trial is done, I will find a way to deal with it. You need to have the praying disciples once the large artifacts are done.”

Zhang Feng smiled faintly and siad, “Little Hai, your understanding of the Great World of Cultivation is too little. In the Great World of Cultivation, there are outlets that sell praying disciples. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about this.”

Zhao Hai stared, he looked at Zhang Feng and asked, “Selling praying disciples? How can they be sold?”

Zhang Feng smiled and said, “Praying disciples are also one of the important commodities in the Great World of Cultivation. Naturally, there is business involving selling them. Sects like the Black Tiger Gang have systems to train praying disciples. However, smaller sects lack this system. This is where people who sell praying disciples enter.”

Zhao Hai asked in confusion, “How do they make these praying disciples? How are they sold?”

Zhang Feng sighed and said, “These poor people are like slaves. They’re even worse than slaves. This was because they are completely brainwashed. They are a group of walking dead. They were cultivators in the beginning, but due to some reason they became praying disciples. They had completely lost any ability other than reproduction and praying. Their children and the children of their children would also be brainwashed. Gradually, this became an industry.”

Zhao Hai sighed. In fact, this wasn’t the first time he heard of things like this. It happens in the s.p.a.ce, and he can’t do anything to stop it.

Zhao Hai immediately raised his mood as he said, “Alright. Senior Brother, after I’m finished with the foreign trial, I will head back immediately and work hard on the large artifacts. Then you can buy some praying disciples. What do you think?”

Zhang Feng nodded and said, “That is also good. But before you enter the foreign trial, I’ll have to ask you to make rejuvenation pills. Without the money from rejuvenation pills, I won’t be able to afford praying disciples.”

Zhao Hai laughed and said, “Alright, no problem. Senior Brother doesn’t need to worry about it. Consider this matter solved.”

Zhang Feng nodded and said, “Don’t spend too much time on it. You also need to practice well. You need to consider your safety. Since we already settled on our future strategy. You can take your time.” Zhao Hai nodded. Zhang Feng waved his hand and then left through the transmission formation.

After Zhang Feng left, Zhao Hai immediately returned to the s.p.a.ce. There are processing machines a.s.signed to make rejuvenation pills. Now, Zhao Hai had a lot of rejuvenation pills. Therefore, he no longer needed to worry about it. What he was focusing on right now was the manufacturing of ghost-face s.h.i.+ps.

Compared to the Wandering Soul Gang, Zhao Hai found it easier to make ghost-face s.h.i.+ps. There are all kinds of beasts inside the s.p.a.ce. He can even make a ghost-face s.h.i.+p made from one kind of beast. Therefore, the problem of unbalanced energy wouldn’t appear. And with the yin threads being made of the purest dark energy, it was easy for Zhao Hai to make ghost-face s.h.i.+ps.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t want to show off. He was going to remake the ghost-face s.h.i.+p that he acquired first. After returning from the foreign trial, he would produce a lot of ghost-face s.h.i.+ps. At that time, he can say that he obtained the beast bones from the foreign trial. n.o.body would know that the beasts came from the s.p.a.ce.

With the processing machine, Zhao Hai doesn’t need to worry about remaking the ghost-face s.h.i.+p. It was enough for him to hand the materials over and then set the parameters. 

Laura and the others were currently looking at the monitor. On the screen were the Nascent Soul Experts of the Wandering Soul Group. These cultivators were now Zhao Hai’s subordinates. After being fed with five poison worms, Laura were now watching their reactions.

The reactions of the Nascent Soul Experts were very normal. Besides providing Zhao Hai with a lot of faith power, there were no other changes. This made Laura and the others glad.

Seeing that Zhao Hai has returned, Laura and the others immediately went forward to greet him. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, what are you planning on having Zhang Feng get those praying disciples? Do you want to a.n.a.lyze the formation they use to collect faith power?”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I really can’t hide anything from you. You’re correct. I plan to obtain that formation. The s.p.a.ce is now producing a lot of faith power. There are more than I would need. It’s a waste if this faith power remains unused. If I can find a way to collect this, it might be very useful to you.”

Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, you’re troubling yourself. Even if we don’t have faith power, we’re still living very well. There’s no need to think about our faith power. The faith power portions that Senior Brother Zhang Feng gives is already enough for us.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “When you have an abundance of faith power, you would know what living really well means. In any case, it won’t be a lot of trouble. It’s easy to do, you don’t need to worry.” Laura nodded and no longer said anything. She just leaned her head gently on Zhao Hai’s shoulder. She has lived with Zhao Hai for a long time. So how could she not know what kind of person Zhao Hai was. Zhao Hai might not be as loving as other men, but he would always give his women the best and would do anything for their well-being. Laura understood Zhao Hai’s way of doing things and she liked it.

A month unknowingly pa.s.sed inside the s.p.a.ce. Zhao Hai had already remade the ghost-face s.h.i.+p they acquired. At the same time, the s.p.a.ce’s ghost-face s.h.i.+ps have begun manufacturing. As expected, it was more powerful than the original ghost-face s.h.i.+p.

As for the rejuvenation pills, Zhao Hai didn’t make too much. In one month, he only made 10 thousand pills. For the s.p.a.ce, this was less than an hour of output.

A month later, Zhao Hai came out of his room inside the treasure s.h.i.+p and then went to Zhang Feng to hand the rejuvenation pills over. He didn’t give Zhang Feng the ghost-face s.h.i.+p yet, it wasn’t the right time. After that, he followed Zhang Feng back to the treasure s.h.i.+p. They were returning to the island of the first life and death arena.

This was also one of the conditions of the super sects. Every partic.i.p.ant would meet on the first life and death arena’s island. Then the group along with their guardian Elder would be led to a transmission formation to take them to the place where the rift of the new foreign trial was located.

Zhang Feng flew over to the island using his treasure s.h.i.+p. People from the other sects began arriving one after another. It can be seen that the other sects place great importance to this trial. There were a lot of large artifacts present outside the island. The most remarkable groups were naturally those from the nine super sects. They had the most partic.i.p.ants compared to the rest of the sects.

After everyone arrived, Ao Wushuang appeared in the life and death arena once more. He looked all around him and then said, “There are currently 990 cultivators qualified to enter the new foreign trial. I ask the qualified people along with their guardian elder to come forward. We’re going to head towards the foreign trial.”

Zhang Feng looked at Tie Ying and said, “Senior Brother, I’ll have to trouble you this time. Once you lead Li Lin to the foreign trial, you can come back. There’s no need to wait for him.”

Tie Ying nodded and said, “Alright. You don’t need to worry. I can guarantee you that Li Lin would enter the foreign trial safely. Are you sure I don’t need to wait for him?”

Zhang Feng smiled and said, “There’s no need. You can do a lot of things in one year. There’s no need for you to waste your time here. Li Lin, go with Senior Brother.” Zhao Hai nodded. Then he flew towards the life and death arena along with Tie Ying.

Besides the people from the nine super sects, most of the sects were like the Black Tiger Gang where an elder would accompany a cultivator. That elder would usually be on the Nascent Soul Stage. Occasionally, there would be elders who would accompany two or three disciples. Therefore, these elders would have more face compared to Tie Ying and the others.

Looking at the people in attendance, Ao Wushuang nodded and said, “Alright, now that everyone is here, the rest can go back. As for those remaining, please come with me.” After that, he led the group towards a place on the island. The large artifacts of the nine super sects blocked the large artifacts of the other sects. Although this caused the other sects to curse, they didn’t dare cause any trouble.

Under Ao Wushuang’s lead, the group flew for an hour before landing on a mountain. This mountain wasn’t any different compared to the other mountains on the island. Besides the occasional weed, there were only rocks on the mountain. It was completely unremarkable.

After arriving at the mountain, Ao Wushuang waved his hand. Strong winds began to appear as a giant rock rolled over. Before long, a huge transmission formation appeared in front of everyone. The transmission formation was large enough to fit 2000 people.

After the transmission formation appeared, Ao Wushuang turned to the others and said, “Everyone, please get on the transmission formation. It will directly send you to the entrance of the foreign trial. When we arrive at the destination, you can record the coordinates and return to your respective sects. The transmission formation is ready. I can a.s.sure you that it will fit everyone.” Naturally, n.o.body would say anything. Upon entering the transmission formation, there was a flash of white light as everyone disappeared.
