912: Chapter 576 912: Chapter 576 The Prime Minister fell silent for a moment after hearing his son’s words, then agreed with his son’s suggestion!
He had only this one son; if he were to be sacrificed in another assessment of the Beast Tide,
all his efforts would be in vain.
Having his son stay by his side, in the Capital City, was the safest option!
The North was thousands of miles away from the Capital City; the attack couldn’t possibly reach the Capital City so quickly!
The Prime Minister thought for a moment; with the Ten Great Clans so united and the young people from the smaller clans having all gone, sending someone could occasionally cause some chaos, muddying the waters, just to frustrate them!
With this idea, he sent out a confidant; since his son wouldn’t go, he needed to find a stand-in.
That way, when accomplishments were made, the credit would naturally go to his own son!
None knew of the Prime Minister’s secretive planning for the time being!
The Chief of Staff, whose skills were once even sharper than his son’s, and whose father as the Old General was also quite formidable, were now both engrossed in re-cultivating the Immortal Cultivation Methods, leading them to closed-door training!
In just over half a month, the father and son had quickly progressed from the first level of Qi Cultivation to nearly achieving Foundation Establishment just by utilizing the flows of Qi in their bodies and their innate ability to comprehend!
Thinking back, the King had managed to hold his position with just Foundation Establishment-level skills because of their unwavering loyalty!
The Old General, long unconcerned with worldly affairs, did not emerge even after achieving Foundation Establishment!
The Chief of Staff, however, was different; he cared about the court and understood the responsibilities it entailed!
Upon exiting his retreat, he found his home eerily quiet, save for the workers moving about softly!
His son, father, and other family members were still in retreat!
Which meant that their family alone was utilizing the new Secret Manual and Supreme Elixir for closed-door cultivation!
Their Noble Clan now had to reform, but they were unsure of the current situation outside.
Would the Prime Minister cause more chaos?
The moment the Chief of Staff came out of his retreat, he received a plethora of messages from his team!
Calling a meeting with his team members, only they knew the content of the discussion!
At present, they had to send out a team to provide support and to handle the Beast Tide!
People were unaware of the Prime Minister’s arrangements, but his team knew; despite outwardly going to eliminate the Beast Tide, they could actually be hindering the effort!
Only some Noble Clans and General Ye’s men would be there to act, which might be insufficient to stop those with ill-intentions!
The Beast Tide was not a joke; if they couldn’t contain it and it reached the Cultivation World, the entire nation could be in potential danger!
Every crisis would directly impact the people; those in the North were the most vulnerable to harm.
After the meeting, the Chief of Staff went to see the Old General!
Learning that the Old General’s eldest son, Ye Tian, along with some people from the Noble Clans had vanished, along with a formidable Alchemist of Supreme Elixirs!
The Chief of Staff panicked and hoped that the Alchemist, when available, would refine more of such valuable medicine for them!
They didn’t have the changed Alchemy Prescription that Jiang Tang mentioned, which contained precious medicinal ingredients not found in the Cultivation World, and he only had a little!
Much like the so-called Saint Master and his skill in producing Supreme Elixirs, others couldn’t replicate them.
Apart from lacking the ability, the important factor was not having such medicinal ingredients!
There was only one such Alchemist in the Cultivation World, and now he had disappeared!
The Chief of Staff felt the few Supreme Elixirs he had were precious and should not be given away; he could impart the Secret Manual which they could use, relying on their own abilities to cultivate!
Having decided on a plan, the Chief of Staff dispatched some on horseback and by horse-drawn carriage to the North, a journey that might take long, reaching in a month!
They didn’t know whether the Beast Tide would be extinguished by the time they arrived after so long.
Their team could only rely on horseback and carriages, having the Martial Strength but unable to travel elegantly by flight!
Of course, as the Chief of Staff, he would not lead the team to the distant North.
Moreover, he had to stay in the Capital City on defense, where the Prime Minister and his team were!
Tang Feiyang, upon reaching the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, received a message from his father!
His father inquired whether he wanted to join the team sent out to help with the Beast Tide in the Cultivation World.
After considering, Tang Feiyang, now competent, was of course ready for action!
He also wanted to take the opportunity to bring out his fellow disciples and Clan members!
Leading his most loyal and competent group, they would become his most reliable lieutenants in the future!
These subordinates, also belonging to his Noble Clan, would become the support for others stepping into the world of Cultivation with their acquired skills!
Tang Feiyang intended to train a group with the highest capabilities, not just individuals from the academy but the most elite and dependable members of his Clan.
Upon making his appearance, his father was pleased, having successfully undergone cultivation reform, and considered it a good thing that his son was leading the younger generation on a divine tribulation and cultivation expedition!
Tang Feiyang met with his father and shared his plans with him!
The Chief of Staff had already anticipated his son’s thoughts!
Naturally, he supported him and encouraged him to act boldly, promising that the Capital City’s seasoned elders would back them up, and he would selectively allow the most loyal old-timers to assist in their cultivation training!
Those middle-aged men and others who hadn’t gone out would be selectively and secretly taught the Immortal Cultivation Methods.
However, he couldn’t assist with resources; they would rely on their talents and find their own means!
Hearing his father’s thoughts, Tang Feiyang found the idea excellent.
His father prepared some carriages for them, with two people per carriage for mutual care.
As for the drivers, certainly, it would be the soldiers from their team, their own loyal men!
