Chapter 678: Chapter 234: Entry Group “Life Betting Immortality”! (10k)_5
“Not to mention, the astronomical figures associated with a massive expansion to recruit tens of times more Disciples,”
“For instance, the cost of cultivating Disciples. Unlike service Disciples who can create basic Array Plates, the newly recruited Disciples are almost completely ignorant of Formations, and training them is very costly.”
“Experienced Elders are needed for teaching, and we will even have to expand the mountain peak, among other basic facilities, including a rebuild of the canteen! This will be an astronomical expense, Sect Master. The Taoist Sect doesn’t have that many Spirit Stones,”
the other Elders present silently nodded in agreement, persuading him, “Sect Master, we are already doing quite well. After ten days of continuous publicity by the Xuantian Daily, the reputation of the Taoist Sect will gradually ferment throughout Xuantian State, eventually occupying an even larger market share, perhaps forty or fifty percent.”
“As for… occupying the entire market share of the Vast Continent, mentioned by you, Sect Master, that seems a bit too unrealistic.”
“The Vast Continent is so immense. Every state in the land has its own native powers recognized for their Formation manufacturing. For an external power’s Array Plates to sell well locally is incredibly difficult. Even a mighty dragon cannot suppress a local tyrant.”
After taking a deep breath, eyes reddening with excitement, the Taoist Sect Master suddenly stood up on his chair, looking at the gathered Elders with a voice full of anticipation and urgency.
“You still don’t understand that what’s causing a surge in orders for the Taoist Sect is not that Xuantian Daily, but our ancestor! It’s our ancestor’s reputation that has caused an explosion in orders for the Taoist Sect!”
“As long as the ancestor can claim the Unique King title, as the only ‘Array Plate supplier’ to our ancestor, our fame will instantly echo across the entire Vast Continent!”
“The Unique King, historically renowned by the entire Vast Continent!”
“What an exaggerated title!”
“And as the only Array Plate supplier to the Unique King, what honor would that be for our Taoist Sect? Plus, there’s no need to expand the sect’s buildings. The Disciples we gather in this expansion need not stay on the sect’s mountain peak.”
“We’ll build a new base at the foot of the mountain, responsible for training and making Array Plates.”
“Yes, the Taoist Sect might be out of Spirit Stones now, but there are many things we can sell. Over the millennia, our ancestors have passed down many treasures. By selling just a portion of these heritages, we will have enough Spirit Stones for this crazy expansion!”
“If the ancestor claims the Unique King title, we will instantly leap to become the top power on the entire Vast Continent!”
“In a person’s lifetime, you only need to seize one opportunity to shoot straight to the skies.”
“I have a premonition that this is the biggest opportunity of my life. We can’t be unprepared when faced with opportunity. What we need to do now is to increase our productivity by aggressively recruiting Disciples.”
“Then, the moment the shackles of the states dissolve, at all costs, we will establish channels in the other eleven states, so people are ready to place orders with us at the first opportunity.”
“Next… all we do is wait, wait for the ancestor to claim the Unique King title!”
The Great Elder remained silent, his expression complex. He had to admit the feasibility of the Sect Master’s plan was quite strong, and the profit potential considerable. However, there was one significant and undeniable problem with it.
“Are you certain the ancestor can claim the Unique King title?”
Standing on his chair, the Taoist Sect Master looked earnestly at the Great Elder and said, word for word, “That’s why it’s a bet, I’m betting that the ancestor will definitely claim the Unique King title.”
“But the ancestor only has a Void Refining first-layer cultivation.”
“Yet the ancestor, with a mere Void Refining first-layer cultivation, has slain countless Void Refinings and instantaneously killed Unification powerhouses!”
“Yes, Sect Master, I know this, but the thrones of other states will surely be occupied by peak Unification Cultivators. I’m aware of the ancestor’s immense potential, but no matter how strong the potential, isn’t it impossible to rise within a year or two, or maybe two to three years, to the level where one can withstand the power of peak Unification cultivation? There’s a difference of a full 18 small realms between them!”
“I believe in the ancestor.”
“Sect Master, this is somewhat illogical; it’s purely a gamble.”
The Great Elder shook his head with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, “Sect Master, how can you not know that the heritage of a power is built on the gradual accumulation of little by little, and not overnight fortunes?”
“A power seeking to endure must not gamble. It’s better to let things flow smoothly like a gentle stream.”
“That’s already a thing of the past.”
The Taoist Sect Master grinned, then took a deep breath and announced loudly, “As of today, the Taoist Sect officially begins rapid expansion. All Elders abide by my orders, by the command of the Sect Master!”
“Great Elder, you are in charge of Disciple recruitment! Increase production capacity to supply all Cultivators in the twelve states of the Continent!”
“Second Elder, you’ll manage the construction matters for the base below the mountain, and…”
“Ninth Elder, you’re responsible for selling off the ancestor’s assets, striving to get a handsome price as quickly as possible.”
“A person capable of entering the path with a fourth-grade Golden Core, a fourth-grade Nascent Soul, and a fourth-grade Divine Domain, and who, before the age of thirty, can complete twelve milestone tasks and seize the Xuantian Throne”
“With a Golden Core cultivation, to slaughter a clan!”
“With Nascent Soul cultivation, to seize the title of leader!”
“With Divinity Transformation cultivation, to suppress the Xuantian!”
“With Void Refining cultivation, to seize the Throne!”
“For such a person, if you believe miracles won’t happen for them, it’s as laughable as believing miracles will happen for yourselves!”
