The sable led Wang Daoyuan and Mo Yu out of the meeting hall, then returned to their respective residences.
Two days later, the sable sent someone to invite Wang Daoyuan to her residence for a chat.
Wang Daoyuan knew that the steward's medallion was ready, so he immediately rushed to the sable's residence.
Arriving at the entrance of the black marten's abode, the door automatically opened, and Wang Daoyuan walked straight in.
The sable's residence was very simple, no different from the residences of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It seemed that she didn't plan on staying here for too long.
From the looks of it, this cave residence was quite thrifty. It was just that they wore too many clothes. They wore three layers on the inside and three layers on the outside. They even wore a black hooded cloak. Did they not know how to save on cloth?
The sable's other two stewards were also present. One was his clone, Mo Yu, and the other was Jackdaw.
Jackdaw wasn't a direct descendant of Blood Shadow. He was also a wandering cultivator that the sable had recruited after arriving at the Shanbei branch.
However, he'd been recruited relatively early. He'd been taken in by the sable when he was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.
He'd been with the sable for more than a hundred years now, and was the sable's most trusted subordinate.
Jackdaw was also one of Wang Daoyuan's targets for creating a clone. After taking him in, four of the five stewards would be his clones, and the last one would be himself.
Once he became the vice hall master and the sable was transferred away, he'd truly be able to cover the sky with one hand.
Seeing him arrive, the sable handed him a medallion and said, "From now on, you're the fifth steward.
Although you haven't been here for long, you should be able to see that I don't get along with the hall master.
That bitch Scarlet Fox may control most of the power in the branch, but she'll never be able to rise again.
She used to be a member of the headquarters' Blood Wolf, and one of the best among them. She opened her Violet Palace before the age of eighty.
A genius like her should've reached the late-stage of the Violet Palace Realm at the age of two hundred.
However, she's still a mid-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivator. Do you know why? "
Wang Daoyuan realized that the sable was quite vain and liked to be acknowledged by others.
He was a professional at playing mind games. He immediately revealed a curious look and shook his head.
The black marten was very satisfied with his reaction and continued, "She offended a Jindan Stage ancestor from the Blood Shadow Headquarters. He is one of the top figures in the Blood Shadow Headquarters.
Normally, people like Crimsonfox should stay at the headquarters and be specially fostered by Golden Core Realm cultivators, and once they attained the advanced-stage of the Violet Palace Realm, they would directly enter the higher-ups.
In the future, it would not be impossible for him to form his Golden Core and become an important figure in the headquarters.
She had been sent to the barren land of Shanbei as a form of exile.
This Returning Wild Goose City Square only had one Lower Tier-3 Spiritual Vein, which severely affected her cultivation speed.
In addition, she needed to refine her Prime Magic Artifact, which consumed an extremely large amount of spiritual energy and Quintessential Essence. If she wanted to cultivate to the late stage of the Zifu Realm, it would take her another hundred years.
He could forget about forming a Golden Core for the rest of his life.
The people under her, no matter how capable they were, were at most a steward.
I was sent by that Golden Core Ancestor to deal with Scarletfox. So long as you have the ability to break through to the Zifu Realm in the future, you can suppress that bitch Scarletfox.
I'll be able to leave this barren land and return to the headquarters, and the position of Vice Hall Master will be yours.
If you do well, you can be transferred to a wealthy branch as a Hall Master, or even be transferred back to the headquarters. It's not impossible for you to enter the upper echelons of the headquarters. "
Wang Daoyuan hastily declined. "This subordinate dares not. Jackdaw and Ink Feather came here before me. This subordinate dares not covet the position of Vice Hall Master."
The sable let out a long sigh. "Jackdaw and Mo Yu aren't very talented. This is the end of their cultivation.
Their comprehension is lacking, and they won't be able to comprehend the Violet Palace Realm, much less establish one.
I've long since given them the insights to break through to the Violet Palace Realm, but they still haven't touched the edge of the Violet Palace Realm.
If that wasn't the case, I would've returned to the headquarters long ago. Why would I be stuck here for a hundred years?
Your talent is better than both of them. I hope you can establish your Violet Palace Realm soon. I'll leave my position open for you. "
Wang Daoyuan immediately bowed. "This subordinate will do his best to live up to Vice Hall Master's expectations."
The sable nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. You've become a steward, but you can't be without subordinates.
I've lost many of my direct subordinates over the years, so I won't transfer them to you directly.
Jackdaw and Ink Feather, each of you transfer a few subordinates to Minghu.
You can handle this in private. Don't be too stingy.
Who knows, Minghu might become your superior in the future. "
Jackdaw and Ink Feather nodded repeatedly.
The three left the sable's residence and went to Wang Daoyuan's residence to discuss the issue of manpower.
In the end, neither of them gave Wang Daoyuan ten late and peak Qi Condensation cultivators, and two early Foundation Establishment cultivators. Ink Feather even transferred Luo Song to Wang Daoyuan.
With the help of brokers, the recruitment process was naturally quick.
In order to speed things up, Wang Daoyuan also recruited a few brokers without any backing.
Now, half of the brokers in the entire Guiyan Market were in his hands.
Although brokers had low cultivation levels and didn't have any skills, they all had a large network of connections.
However, each of them had quite a large network of connections in their hands. They were still very good at finding people and inquiring about information.
Of course, their ability to gather information was far inferior to Bloodshadow's intelligence organization.
In the past, when Wu Yi's clone expanded his manpower, he searched for people based on the list provided by brokers.
Although this ensured that his subordinates were more loyal and prevented them from forming small groups, the efficiency was too low.
After Wang Daoyuan recruited two clever mid Foundation Establishment cultivators, he gave them the authority to recruit people.
He would only personally act if he met a suitable late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In order to let them recruit people wholeheartedly, they would receive a hundred contribution points and a hundred spirit stones for every late Qi Condensation cultivator they recruited.
For every Foundation Establishment cultivator they recruited, they would receive a thousand to two thousand contribution points and spirit stones.
Of course, Wang Daoyuan wouldn't let them recruit people on the streets. The targets were still personally selected by Wang Daoyuan.
He himself would do his best to carry out missions to earn spirit stones. On average, he would carry out a mission every half a month. Each mission would earn him between five to six thousand to ten thousand spirit stones.
A Zifu Realm cultivator carrying out a mission for a Foundation Establishment cultivator would naturally be successful.
Those dangerous missions that had been abandoned for decades or even centuries were mostly cleared by Wang Daoyuan.
After a few years, Wang Daoyuan already had more than two hundred Qi Condensation cultivators and twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators under his command.
Among them, there were three late Foundation Establishment cultivators. The strength of his subordinates had already surpassed Wu Yi's clone.
Scarlet Fox hadn't been idle these few years. He had properly dealt with You Lang's subordinates and took in a few reliable ones as his direct subordinates.
The other subordinates that were arranged to carry out missions with high returns but also high risks were almost all dead by now.
Now, the mystic sable had three stewards and Zhou Luan had two.
In terms of the number of cultivators under her command, the mystic sable also had a considerable advantage.
After being suppressed by Zhou Luan for decades, she had regained her advantage with the help of Wang Daoyuan. Her attitude towards Wang Daoyuan was naturally very good.
In addition, Wang Daoyuan's flattery skills were not bad. He grasped her vanity and often made her laugh heartily.
Now, Wang Daoyuan's trust had already surpassed Jackdaw's and was second only to Mo Yu, whom the mystic sable had brought from the headquarters.
In these few years, he had also frequently entered the mystic sable's cave abode.
Fortunately, the mystic sable was more conservative. If she was like Zhou Luan, she would tease him from time to time.
These days, she would run to her cave abode every two to three days. A man and a woman would often be alone in a room. The baby would probably know how to play soy sauce.
Now, the time was ripe. It was also time to send away Wu Yi's clone and let the mystic sable have the absolute advantage.
