“Not only are all of you here Innate experts, but you are also elders of the Beggar Sect. Both your strengths and abilities are outstanding. I am in dire need of wise individuals and naturally hope that you will serve me!”
Lin Beifan smiled and said, “As long as you are willing to join my command, all of this will be yours!”
At that moment, the door opened once again, and several people carried in one huge chest after another.
They filled the previously empty private room to the brim.
Then, at Lin Beifan’s signal, the chests were opened in unison.
Instantly, a dazzling golden light illuminated the entire room.
The Beggar Sect elders present were nearly blinded by the sparkle.
“Gold! All these are actually gold!”
“So much gold!”
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen so much gold!”
Some of their voices were trembling.
They were all high-ranking elders of the Beggar Sect, accustomed to power and wealth and not strangers to large sums of money!
But they had never seen so much gold piled up right before their eyes!
It was damn impactful!
Just then, all the windows were thrown open.
Lin Beifan walked over to the window, pointing to a group of buildings not far away, and said, “Please look! That is the residential compound I have specially built for meritorious officials. If you are willing to serve me, each of you will have one!”
The Beggar Sect elders followed Lin Beifan’s gesture, and they all gasped in astonishment.
Because the compound over there was built too luxuriously!
Pavilions, towers, carved railings, and painted eaves… it was magnificent and splendid…
It was simply too beautiful for words, a sight to behold!
“So beautiful!”
“Unbelievable!”
“It’s like a place where immortals would dwell!”
The window was slammed shut, yet everyone lingered, reluctant to leave.
At that moment, another group of people walked in, carrying small boxes that were exquisitely crafted and looked even more valuable than gold.
The elders of the Beggar Sect became curious: “What are these?”
Lin Beifan gestured invitingly with his hand and said with a smile, “Elders, why not open them and have a look?”
With immense curiosity, they opened the boxes to find a collection of small booklets.
“Nine Yin Manual?”
“Nine Yang Manual?”
“Six Meridians Divine Sword?”
In total, there were as many as twenty volumes.
One of the Beggar Sect elders turned to Lin Beifan and said, “These seem to be martial arts techniques!”
Lin Beifan nodded: “Indeed, they are all martial arts techniques, and they are in no way inferior to the Beggar Sect’s Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Dog Beating Staff Technique! As long as you serve me, you will have the opportunity to learn these techniques!”
The Beggar Sect elders gasped in amazement.
“These are all peerless martial arts on par with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!”
“There are as many as twenty volumes!”
“And we all have the chance to practice them!”
These items were incredibly tempting for these martial artists!
It’s important to note that although they were elders of the Beggar Sect, most of the martial arts they had learned were quite ordinary.
The most advanced techniques they had learned were the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Staff Technique.
And even then, they had only learned a few moves, never having the chance to master them completely.
But now, here lay twenty volumes of peerless martial arts, each not inferior to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or the Dog Beating Staff Technique, and they would have the chance to learn them if they switched allegiances!
Wasn’t this an incredible stroke of luck?
Lin Beifan watched their reactions, a secret smile playing on his lips.
Most of these martial arts were written by him.
With his Great Grandmaster strength and experience, was it not easy to write a few martial arts manuals?
While Grandmaster-level martial arts like the “True Art of Xuanwu” or the “Sacred Heart Technique” might take some time to write, it was quite easy for him to produce good Innate-level martial arts.
After writing them, he secretly buried them in various ancient tombs, then excavated them to completely launder their origins, turning them into treasures of the imperial palace used to cultivate experts.
People like the Wine Sword Immortal and the Empty Hand Master had already begun their training, making significant progress in their strength.
Some meritorious and loyal generals also had the opportunity to practice these techniques, and their strength was advancing rapidly.
Soon, Great Xia would see a surge of highly skilled experts.
One of the Beggar Sect elders, somewhat agitated, said, “I don’t believe it! I can’t believe you have so many peerless martial arts! It must be a deception!”
He flipped open one of the martial arts manuals and began to read.
The manual he picked up was called the “Nine Yin Manual,” and he happened to start with the general principles section.
“The way of heaven is to diminish the excess and supplement the deficient. Hence, the insubstantial can overcome the substantial, and that which is lacking can overcome that which is abundant…”
After reading, he was deeply shaken.
His hands trembled with excitement as he exclaimed, “This truly is a peerless martial art that rivals the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!”
The other elders of the Beggar Sect also became excited.
“Yeah, just by reading a few sentences, I’ve gained so much insight!”
“Such profound martial arts knowledge!”
“It’s as if a lightbulb went off in my head, and I’ve made further progress!”
“Excellent martial arts!”
When they wanted to continue reading, those people snapped the materials shut and put them back into a small box.
The Beggar Sect elders were reluctant to part with the materials, reaching out their hands and then drawing them back.
Lin Beifan clapped his hands again, and another group of people came in carrying a chest.
The Beggar Sect elders, already stunned multiple times, were filled with curiosity about what was inside this chest.
“What’s inside this…?”
Lin Beifan didn’t speak but gestured for the chest to be opened.
Then, the Beggar Sect elders saw one after another divine weapons: swords, sabers, spears, and some oddly shaped weapons, all gleaming with a cold light, particularly dazzling to the eye.
“These are all divine weapons forged by Master Ouyezi! There’s no need for me to elaborate on Master Ouyezi’s skill level; you all should understand! Our Great Xia’s Xuanxiao Divine Sword was crafted by his very hands!”
“The weapons in this chest, although not comparable to the Xuanxiao Divine Sword, are also rare divine weapons! Indestructible, cutting through iron as if it were mud is just their most basic ability, and there are other capabilities that you’ll have to discover on your own!”
“As long as you come, you’ll have the chance to obtain these divine weapons!”
The Beggar Sect elders were extremely shocked.
Such divine weapons, sought after in the rivers and lakes but rarely found, were here in abundance!
Even their Beggar Sect’s treasure, the Dog Beating Staff, was of this caliber!
They carefully took out a few divine weapons to examine and play with.
“Such great items! Truly great items indeed!”
“With this divine blade, my strength would increase by at least 50%!”
“This sword is even sharper!”
Although these divine weapons weren’t as shocking as the divine skills, they were still rare treasures that made the Beggar Sect elders’ eyes burn with desire, wishing they could claim them as their own.
After playing with them for a while, they put them back reluctantly.
