875: Chapter 557.2 875: Chapter 557.2 Lai Jianlin listened to the many people discussing and waited for their questions to play out.
He waved his hand at everyone, asking them to stop their discussions!
“Listen to me, everyone.
We’ve come here because we have something important to discuss with you, about searching for the Saint Master.
There will be representatives going, and at that time the representatives will be led by the two of us, along with a few others, to search for the Saint Master!”
Lai Jianlin looked at the crowd; some nodded while others shook their heads in disagreement, and some spoke out, expressing their wish to join the search party for the Saint Master!
“Please wait for us to finish explaining the situation.”
Luo Yaxuan said, “This time we’ve come to discuss with you that the sale of Supreme Elixirs and the auction will be halted.
With the Saint Master missing, no one will provide Supreme Elixirs for us to sell.
We need to reserve the Supreme Elixirs we have for ourselves, or for those who need them!”
Someone in the meeting spoke up, “Of course, it makes sense.
Such treasures, no matter how much money we make from selling them, won’t be enough to buy Supreme Elixirs back!”
Other people nodded in agreement too!
Luo Yaxuan continued, “Aside from coming to inform the two bases and taking a few people with us to search for the Saint Master, we are also taking this opportunity to share the Secret Manuals we have obtained with you all!”
Mo Wen clapped his hands excitedly, “Secret Manuals?
That’s really great!”
There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, “If we have more skills to learn, we could enhance our abilities even more!”
Many people cheered, their expressions changing from worry about the Saint Master to joy!
Lai Jianlin too corroborated, pulling out densely packed copies from his Storage Bag for the crowd to duplicate after their meeting had ended.
For now, however, he made some copies for those who would be taking action with them!
As long as one more set was duplicated, they could leave that set here for others to copy.
They would slowly duplicate the Secret Manuals during their operation and while in flight.
Luo Yaxuan further discussed with them that, during this period, their main focus here should be on Cultivation and enhancing their own abilities, as well as improving the abilities of other members within the base.
Those people, such as the elderly and children, who had no ability to cultivate, needed their assistance!
Moreover, every mountain and river within the base was their property, which they must maintain well and diligently attend to!
Lai Jianlin also added that although they had taken on a mission here and failed to receive the Saint Master’s reward,
they had such great base resources for their Cultivation, and they had to make good use of it, for enhancing one’s inherent abilities was true power!
To rely solely on donations from others meant that they would forever be unable to enhance their own shortcomings!
As long as their abilities were enhanced, as long as they could provide themselves with better Cultivation Resources and make good use of the mountains and rivers here, this place would be a tremendous treasure trove!
Luo Yaxuan also said that although they had obtained such wonderful Secret Manuals outside and seemed to have made great improvements, they did not have as much energy as they would in the base.
It seemed like an improvement,
but as long as they worked hard, in the near future, they might become even more formidable than those outside!
Lai Jianlin further supplemented, within the base, if they did not receive the enhancement through external trials, they could organize sparring sessions to promote everyone’s abilities!
Whether they were people from the Cultivation World or the Blood Clan, they were now one large family here, and they needed to jointly create and nurture the family’s resources!
Together, they would forge the future of the Saint Sect, and in the future, they would be among the elite of the Cultivation World!
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin painted a large picture for them, stirring great enthusiasm among the crowd.
Those who previously wanted to go outside now had no objections!
Ding Ling received the glances from other women, thinking, “Even if you go outside to be by the side of our senior brother, you might not improve as fast as I do here in the base!”
Ding Ling did not refute them.
For her, as long as she stayed by the side of her beloved Lai Jianlin, even if her abilities were not as high as others, she accepted it!
Liu Jiaojiao was even more prideful under the gazes of others, thinking that with her parents and senior brother by her side, she didn’t need to endure the pains of longing, and whether or not her abilities improved, she had protection!
Liu Yong and Xiao Xiang did not think much of it; after all, they were already instructors.
With the Secret Manuals, they had a way to practice and enhance their abilities!
Moreover, they had Supreme Elixirs on them, which were rewards from the Saint Master!
At this moment, Lai Jianlin had already made a set of copies of the Secret Manuals.
During this time, they had obtained many volumes of Secret Manuals from the Saint Master, and he left a set of copies here!
He then took that set back and handed it over to Ding Ling, telling her to take charge of copying it for herself and the people they were collaborating with.
Ding Ling accepted the task and collected the copies.
She cherished the secret manual that Lai Jianlin had left for her and used all the blank jade slips in her storage bag to make copies of these manuals.
Luo Yaxuan informed them that they were taking several people away and asked those remaining to divide up their work.
There were skills to teach, along with other tasks, and her previous work could also be handed over to someone else.
Ding Ling, Liu Jiaojiao, and Xiao Xiang, along with a few other women, had been responsible for instructing the children in skill transmission.
At that moment, Liu Jiaojiao and Xiao Xiang delegated the tasks of teaching the children to several other women since they were among those going out on the mission.
Luo Yaxuan also gave Mo Wen a task, asking him to supervise all the trainees, including those studying in the base, to see if their abilities had improved.
They must diligently study, and anyone not doing so or causing disruption and affecting their unity would be punished.
This so-called punishment was, of course, confinement.
There was a facility for solitary confinement within the base where one would lose contact with the outside world.
On this night, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin didn’t immediately leave the base with their people.
Everyone had copied the secret manuals.
They questioned these two about some of the more intricate problems found in the manuals.
These were secret manuals for a variety of skills, some of which some people had not yet learned.
With the night’s time, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin discussed not only base-related issues but also split their students’ tasks, dividing all the secret manuals in two.
The two began teaching separately and then had their students share what they had learned with those who had studied other manuals.
Similar to what the pair had done before, their learnings were different, but by sharing and progressing together, they could achieve greater improvement.
Although Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan were only at the Nascent Soul Stage, they had improved tremendously in their abilities while with Jiang Tang.
They had studied skills like Formation, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Talisman Crafting.
Their skills were just above basic and not necessarily better than others’; they also had access to advanced secret manuals but chose not to keep them secret, sharing them with everyone instead.
They also shared their Cultivation insights with everyone.
In this base, there were a few individuals from the three Noble Clans, elites who each possessed their own skills.
Nonetheless, their abilities were still not as formidable as those in the secret manuals.
Mr.
Jiang was among them, learning alongside his family’s elites without any arrogant refusal to take part.
At the meeting chaired by the two heirs, he didn’t speak with any arrogance either.
He understood that although he also bore the Jiang surname, he was not even remotely related to the Saint Master Jiang Tang; to claim they were from the same family 500 years ago would be self-deceptive.
They were fortunate to have formed an alliance with Jiang Tang and gained the opportunity to learn skills just like the other family elites.
When he saw others progress, he felt no envy but was also making strides himself.
The secret manuals Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin brought back were extremely beneficial to him; some he had yet to learn and naturally participated in learning too.
Once mastered, he could pass these secret manuals on to his family, enabling their members to enhance their abilities more swiftly.
The Saint Master never said the manuals couldn’t be taught to their families.
If they were able to leave and return to their families, they could bring these manuals with them.
Nevertheless, there was no rush; many of their family’s elites were already present in these two bases.
As long as these individuals advanced, their family would maintain its premier status and not fall behind.
He wouldn’t harbor resentment towards others over this small matter of speaking rights.
What mattered was power; in the journey of Cultivation, who could tell who would go farther?
