Zhao Hai, Tie Niu, and the others returned to the Sword Defense Sect. Then Zhao Hai called Wen Wenhai and Tang Ming to his study. After everyone sat down, Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "This trip to the Greenmist Sect went quite smoothly. We've confirmed a few things. First, we can openly trade with the 72 Southern Sea Islands and the Puppet Sect through the Greenmist Sect. Therefore, we need to make some things that can be used as a means of trade. The fruit wine and ordinary pills that we make won't be enough.
Everyone nodded. Speaking of which, there weren't many things that the Jianyu Sect could take out. They only had fruit wine and some low-grade pills. Apart from these, there wasn't anything else. Moreover, these two things were targeted at the low-end market. In other words, these two things were sold to the rogue cultivators. Obviously, these two things couldn't be traded with the big sects. They still needed a main product.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and then said, "Aside from this matter, there's also the matter of our disciples going out for training. Our disciples shouldn't go out as disciples of the Tide Watcher Gang. Instead, they should go out as disciples of the Sword Defense Sect. They can directly go to the Sword Spirit Continent to train, just like the other sects."
This news was also good news for the Tide-watching Gang. It was impossible for them to not go out and train for a long time. Doing things behind closed doors wouldn't do them any good. However, if they went out as disciples of the Tide-watching Gang, then it would bring them a lot of trouble, and it would be easy for them to be discovered.
Now, they can use their identity as disciples of the Sword Defense Sect to go out for training. This was good news for the Tide Watcher Gang.
Then Zhao Hai continued, "Third, after the Alliance's discussion, we need to use diplomacy before force to deal with the sects that haven't joined the Alliance. First, the sects will send a delegation to persuade them to surrender. If they surrender, then they can join the Alliance. Later on, the buffer zone will be under the Alliance's control. If they don't surrender, then we need to prepare to use force. But we need to persuade them to surrender three times. If they still don't join the Alliance after three attempts, then we will use force. Does everyone understand?"
Wen Wenhai and the others naturally understood, and they knew that this was Zhao Hai's idea. Therefore, they nodded. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "I want to talk about the third thing. This third thing seems very simple, but in my opinion, it's the most difficult. This is because we don't know if there are any sects in the buffer zone who have secretly sided with the Great Sects. If they are spies, then it would be very troublesome for us. Therefore, this time, not only do we need to persuade them to surrender, we also need to observe the other sects and see if there are any abnormalities. We need to see if there are any people who are secretly sabotaging the process of persuading them to surrender. At the same time, we need to pay attention to the sects that haven't joined the alliance. We need to see if there are any abnormalities, and if they are secretly siding with the Great Sects." Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "I'll talk about the third thing. This third thing seems very simple, but in my opinion, it's the most difficult. This is because we don't know if there are any sects in the buffer zone who have secretly sided with the Great Sects.
We need a relatively safe environment to develop ourselves. Our Sword Imperial Sect's strength is still too small, we can only rely on formations to block the attacks of the Great Sects. Once we have the ability to compete with the Great Sects, then we can swallow the buffer zone. Therefore, at this time, the buffer zone cannot be messed up. We can't let the Great Sects extend their hands into it. Our goal is the same as the Green Mist Sect, we are outsiders in the buffer zone. Therefore, we need to do our best to help the Green Mist Sect. With the Green Mist Sect's help, we need to stabilize the buffer zone as soon as possible so that we can develop in peace for a period of time. "Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the crowd and said," If they secretly rely on the Great Sects, then we must use force. We can't let the Great Sects extend their hands into the buffer zone. Our goal is the same as the Green Mist Sect's, we are considered outsiders in the buffer zone. Therefore, we need to do our best to help the Green Mist Sect. With the Green Mist Sect's help, we need to stabilize the buffer zone as soon as possible so that we can develop in peace for a period of time. "
Everyone understood what Zhao Hai meant. They were all people who followed Zhao Hai, so they naturally knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do. Since the moment Zhao Hai joined the alliance, they knew what Zhao Hai wanted to do. Therefore, they weren't surprised by Zhao Hai's decision. Zhao Hai's words were very clear.
Zhao Hai knew that they understood what he meant, so he smiled faintly and said, "Old Tang, I'll leave this matter to you. Lead Chun Ming to join the persuasion group and pay attention to those guys. You don't have to say a word during the whole process, but I want you to remember the reactions of those people. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang Ming replied in a deep voice, "Yes, Boss. Don't worry, I'll remember every single one of their expressions."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he took out the Green Jade Compass and gave it to Tang Ming, "Take this Green Jade Compass and this one. After you leave, no matter where you go, you can set up a projection formation in your room. With the Green Jade Compass, you can use the projection formation to monitor everything within a ten li radius. This would be very useful for you in monitoring them." Tang Ming nodded, then he took out the Green Jade Compass and gave it to Tang Ming.
Tang Ming nodded, then he received the jade compass. Then he received the compass along with the other formation disks that Zhao Hai gave him. However, these formation disks were very small, they were suitable for setting up formations in narrow areas.
Zhao Hai looked at Tang Ming and the others, then he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, this matter will end here. Let's discuss the next two things that we need to do. First, prepare for battle. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about this persuasion group. Moreover, I suspect that there might be a mole among them. Therefore, we need to prepare for battle."
Everyone nodded, they were people from the Lost Soul Empire and had experienced countless battles. Naturally, they knew what they needed to do. Therefore, it was only right for them to prepare for battle.
Zhao Hai continued, "Second, we need to develop new products. I've noticed that in the past, the Sword Imperial Sect would only sell materials to outsiders. This isn't good, it's too much of a loss. We need to develop two main products. These products aren't only useful to Rogue Cultivators, they can also be used by disciples of Great Sects. This way, we'll be able to take the initiative in our transactions. Everyone, think about it, what are our main products?"
Everyone was silent this time, nobody spoke. Zhao Hai looked at the crowd, then he turned his head to Laura and the others who weren't participating in the discussion. Then Zhao Hai said, "Laura, you should also speak. I think you have more say in this matter." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I think you have more say in this matter."
When Wen Wenhai heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't know why Zhao Hai said this and why Laura would have more say in this matter.
Laura stared for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Alright, since Brother Hai wants me to say it, then I'll say it. I think that we should know where our advantages lie. Compared to the other sects, the biggest advantage that we have is spiritual force. Although we might not be as strong as the Great Sects, our control over our spiritual force isn't any worse than the Great Sects, we might even surpass them. This is our biggest advantage, so we can do something about it. Brother Hai, I think that the most suitable product for us to develop is talisman paper!" Laura nodded, then she said, "Alright, Brother Hai, I think that the most suitable product for us to develop is talisman paper!" Laura looked at Brother Hai and said, "That's right.
At this point, Laura paused, then she looked at the crowd and said, "The most important inheritance of our Tide Watcher Gang is magic arts. In theory, magic arts can be drawn on talisman paper. Talisman paper and magic arts are interlinked. Additionally, our Tide Watcher Gang members have strong spiritual force. As long as everyone learns a bit, it wouldn't be difficult to make talisman paper. In the process of making talisman paper, not only can one exercise one's spiritual force, one can also deepen one's understanding of magic arts through making talisman paper. Because of this, I think that our Tide Watcher Gang should focus on making talisman paper. Even if the gang members can't make good talisman paper, they can still practice it first. Later on, it would slowly turn into an industry, perhaps even becoming famous in the Sword Spirit Realm."
Everyone quietly listened to Laura's words. To be honest, Wen Wenhai and the others didn't pay much attention to Laura's words at first. But after Laura finished speaking, Wen Wenhai and the others felt that Laura's words were very reasonable. This path of making talisman paper was indeed more suitable for the Tide-watching Gang.
Laura looked at everyone and then said, "Besides talismans, there's also formations. Our Tidewatching Gang has a big weakness, and that is our artifacts. Although we have the inheritance of the Sword Imperial Sect, and Big Brother Hai has also thought of a way to use them, artifacts have always been the Sword Imperial Sect's weakness. This isn't something that can be changed in a short period of time. However, we can work on formations, just like the Cyan Jade Compass. The Cyan Jade Compass is an artifact, but it can also be regarded as a formation disk. Now that we have the Cyan Jade Compass, we can imitate it and use it as a standard artifact of the Tidewatching Gang. Various formations can play a big role in battle, sometimes even more important than an artifact. In addition, formations and spells are also related, so when we develop our formations, we can also learn about spells. Because of this, I think that the Tidewatching Gang should also vigorously develop our formations." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The Tidewatching Gang has a lot of things to do with formations. Because of this, I think that the Tidewatching Gang should also vigorously develop our formations."
