Chapter Fifty-One Quota Allocation

  It wasn't until the end of the day that Wang Fei's expression changed, and he discovered something was amiss.

  The six spiritual roots in his body, due to not being able to merge them, resulted in the capacity of absorbing spiritual roots being greatly impaired, and the circulation was extremely unsmooth, as if it was stuck. In other words, unless Wang Fei completely digested these spiritual roots, he couldn't absorb any more, or else he would bring disaster upon himself.

  Thus, Wang Fei wanted to go to the eastern suburbs of Dongtan, and his desire to get the Ba Ye Ju Ling Cao was even stronger.

  "It's still better to improve cultivation for now, at least it won't be fatal yet."

  After a moment of contemplation, Wang Fei once again circulated his spiritual energy and found that it was not enough to harm himself. He calmed down, closed his eyes, and began to breathe in and out. The Grand Daoist Canon 51

  The spiritual energy in the air, with the incantation's rotation first, was pulled by Wang Fei's internal spiritual root, and all of it leaned towards him, rolling in a rich and pure flow. With one breath, Wang Fei absorbed nearly ten times more spiritual energy than before, this was the benefit brought by the strengthening of his spiritual root.

  "The ninth layer of Lingyue is not reached, and it will never be released!"

  Suddenly, Wang Fei opened his eyes, a cold light shot out, and his face was firm and determined. He took a deep breath and continued to absorb the spiritual energy around him.

  Wang Fei began to enter closed quarters.

  Not long after Wang Fei entered seclusion, the news about Dongtan's desolate outskirts also spread within the sect. The Wenyuan Pavilion suddenly became lively as all the Lingyue middle-term disciples rushed to the second floor to study the geographical situation of Dongtan's desolate outskirts.

  Just looking at it afterwards, those disciples who had not experienced the previous event were in a dilemma.

  Although Dongtan Huangjiao is a place worth coveting, spiritual medicine, spiritual crystals, and spiritual beasts... can be called the paradise of cultivators.

  However, the desolate Dongtan is a nightmare for practitioners. One careless move and you could be killed by the ferocious beasts inside, or harmed by fellow practitioners, or mistakenly enter a place of evil energy and die an unjust death.

  Furthermore, it's a treacherous place and their cultivation isn't high, going in is basically seeking death. However, the sect issued an announcement that anyone who signs up to participate can receive the sect's support, including distribution of spiritual crystals, talismans, and elixirs. But after coming out, the spiritual herbs they collect will belong to the sect.

  In this way, these disciples grew up one after another.

  Another group of disciples who experienced the last wilderness incident are either too old or severely injured and unwilling to go again.

  Then, after a commotion, Danfeng Zong's sect gradually returned to calm.

  The sect master didn't say anything either, letting the disciples below choose freely. For a time, the sect was calm and peaceful.

  Next, similar situations occurred in other sects. While the disciples of the five major sects were hesitating, in a remote mountain corner, five figures sat in a circle. They each sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, forming a pentagon shape. Each person emitted a faint aura that influenced and intertwined with one another, forming a halo of light. The surroundings were quiet, except for the sounds of birds chirping, there was no other noise.

  In this quiet atmosphere, suddenly, one of the old Taoists with a golden body abruptly opened his eyes, and a strong breath was emitted at the same time. The other four people also opened their eyes and looked at each other.

  "Fellow Taoists, how should we allocate our numbers this time?" The man slowly spoke after glancing at the four people beside him.

  "How will it be distributed?" A Taoist priest with a long beard next to Jin Guang said with narrowed eyes, "Naturally, follow the old rules."

  The other four people heard what the long-bearded Taoist priest said and their faces all changed color.

  Opposite the long-bearded Taoist, a middle-aged man in purple robes hummed and said: "Following the old rules, Fengyuan Sect Master's Feng Limen gained a lot in the last wilderness. Naturally, you will get one-third of the quota. However, this time Huanxian Country intervened, if the quota is still allocated according to the rules, I, Qian Gongzi, am the first to disagree!"

  A middle-aged man in a purple robe looked displeased.

  "Haha, Qian Gongzi is indeed joking. This has been a long-standing rule, how can it be changed due to an unexpected event? The Qianhe Gate is a major sect, surely they wouldn't be so ignorant of the rules?" Feng Yuan chuckled and shook his beard three times, with a smug expression on his face.

  According to the old rules, any sect that harvests the most in the East Bank wilderness will have one-third of the quota for their disciples to go next time. In other words, out of 500 quotas, Fenglin Gate can get more than 160 quotas. How could Fengyuan let it go so easily? It is necessary to know that if more people enter, the harvest of their sect will increase, and the fruit of the next round will also increase accordingly, forming a virtuous circle.

  "..." Chi Bowen heard this and glared at him angrily, but for the sake of the school's reputation, she had to hold back her anger and remain silent.

  As for the other three, their faces also changed slightly when they heard this. One of them, a woman in her thirties, furrowed her brow and glanced at several sect leaders beside her before saying to Feng Yu, "Feng Daoist friend, this time it's not a competition between our five major sects, but rather a competition between the Yan Kingdom's cultivation world and the Xuanxian Kingdom's cultivation world. Everyone knows that there's a high possibility of an ancient relic appearing this time. If it falls into the hands of the Xuanxian Kingdom, it would be a huge loss for our Yan Kingdom."

  "Not bad, no matter how we fought for resources before, but this time everyone must unite and fight against the external enemy."

  A middle-aged man with a head full of white hair, but looking quite young, hastily chimed in beside the young woman.

  This person is the master of Jingxian Valley, a Void Spirit, and has some dealings with the Yehe Night Faction. For their own benefit, they naturally cooperate with each other.

  "Alright everyone……” Just as several people were arguing, a slightly melancholic voice suddenly sounded from the side, and a middle-aged man with a crown feather on his head let out a light sigh, saying calmly, “Everyone take a step back, and the quota issue can be resolved. Except for the 100 given to Xiāo Tiān Guó, Fēng Lín Mén will take one-fourth, and the rest of us will divide it equally. Then we'll see if there are enough people inside the door. If there's a surplus or shortage, we can adjust accordingly. What do you all think? Also, this isolated array in the wilderness is extremely unstable and may open ahead of schedule at any time. The dangerous areas inside, I reckon, will also be opened up quite a bit. At that time, it'll be a big problem whether we can find enough people to go in."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the four people arguing on the side all had a look of embarrassment on their faces, because within the sect, it was indeed as he said, many people were envious of the spiritual medicine and spiritual crystals inside, but most people were also afraid to die.

  After a moment of silence, Feng Yuan glanced at the Crowned Feather Man and said: "Danfeng Sect is the most noble among the alchemy sects. The spiritual medicine we picked can only be refined by you. This time, it was Danhe Daoyou who spoke up, so I'll reluctantly agree. As for the rest of you, will you follow this decision?"

  "Since the leader of the Wind Sect has spoken, how could we possibly be dissatisfied?"

  The other three people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

  At the time when the five major sects of Yan State were discussing the quota for the wilderness, in the Fantian National Border, on a mountain peak that was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, two long rainbows came from the distant horizon, straight into the mountain peak. Immediately afterwards, a green rainbow shot up to the sky, with vast energy surging out.

  "Finally, the two Taoist friends have arrived..."

  A dull sound echoed, at the top of the mountain peak, a large gate slowly opened, and the two long rainbows let out a long whistle, instantly rushing into that large gate...

  One week recommendation is coming soon, collect it now o(n_n)o~
