He finally believed that Miao Yi was not boasting. This bastard might really have the ability to fulfill his promise.
There was no need to say anything else. After the two of them had discussed the specifics of the contract, they each took out a jade archive, wrote it down, and sealed it with their incantation seals. Then, they exchanged their incantation seals.
The Square Sky Decorated Halberd was also handed over to Hong Changhai as collateral. If Miao Yi were to breach the contract, the School of Blue Jade disciples could use the Commandment of Conformity to irresponsibly withdraw from East Arrival Cave. Furthermore, this first grade transcendent artifact would also be confiscated as a penalty for breaching the contract. On the other hand, if Miao Yi were to fulfill his promise, this first grade transcendent artifact would still have to be returned to Miao Yi.
If the School of Blue Jade breached the contract … Miao Yi had taken a liking to the Third Grade Transcendent Artifact in Hong Changhai's possession, and had Hong Changhai write down the conditions for breaching the contract in the Commandment of Conformity.
After accepting the transcendent artifact and a contract, Hong Changhai extended his hand towards Miao Yi and said, "Please step back and wait for a moment. Allow me to make my selection. I will immediately hand the men over to you later."
"Go ahead!" Miao Yi laughed heartily and cupped his fists. After signing the Commandment of Conformity, he wasn't afraid that the other party would go back on his word. Riding on Charcoal, he eagerly ran towards Qin Weiwei and the others.
Seeing that this bastard had returned, Qin Weiwei only shot him a glance before turning her head away, no longer looking at him.
Gongsun Yu came to welcome him. Seeing that Miao Yi had come alone, he couldn't help but ask, "Cave Master Miao, did Hong Changhai not agree?"
"How dare he refuse!" Miao Yi took out a jade archive and boasted, "We've already signed the Commandment of Conformity. How dare he go back on his word?"
"..." Gongsun Yu was speechless for a while. Then, he asked curiously, "How many men did he promise you?"
Miao Yi stuck out two fingers.
Gongsun Yu was stunned, "Only two?"
"Cave Master Gongsun, you are too petty. There are countless cultivators in this world who wish to join the system. Are two worthy enough for me to personally pay a visit to recruit them?" Miao Yi wagged two fingers and said proudly, "Twenty!"
"..." Everyone was dumbfounded. 'Motherf * cker, your East Arrival Cave actually dares to send twenty men?
Qin Weiwei didn't know if this bastard was telling the truth or not. She secretly bit her lips and turned her head to look at him. There were only about twenty people in the entire Mount Calming Sea at the moment. His Immortal's Cave was almost as big as the entire Mount Calming Sea. How could this Mountain Lord endure this!
Gongsun Yu was speechless for a while, then asked, "What level of cultivation did the people who gave it to you have?"
"Two Blue Lotus First Grade cultivators, two White Lotus Ninth Grade cultivators, two White Lotus Eighth Grade cultivators …" The Great Cave Master Miao reported the names of the people he was about to receive. He didn't try to hide it, but he couldn't. He would also have to give an explanation when he reported it to Qin Weiwei.
Everyone was dumbfounded. There wasn't a single Blue Lotus cultivator in the entire Mount Calming Sea. What was this guy trying to do? If it was true, then he was not giving the Mountain Chieftain any face at all!
Qin Weiwei didn't want to argue with Miao Yi any further, but when she heard this, she couldn't hold it in any longer. "Miao Yi, what are you trying to do? Don't forget what I said earlier. If they want to pass through me, my Mount Calming Sea will not accept any additional conditions from them. You, Miao Yi, have no right to represent Mount Calming Sea and agree to any of their conditions! "
She didn't think that the School of Blue Jade would be so lucky. They must have made some sort of request. Otherwise, how could they send so many experts to a tiny East Arrival Cave to listen to their orders?
Miao Yi immediately cursed in his heart. 'This bitch really can't bear to see me do well. I have to spend my own hard-earned capital to raise my troops.' You have an opinion too?
"Don't worry. I didn't agree to any of their conditions on behalf of Mount Calming Sea, and I won't harm any of Mount Calming Sea's interests either. With the Mountain Chieftain watching over me, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. I'm just representing East Arrival Cave to recruit the troops of East Arrival Cave!" Miao Yi tossed the jade archive over.
Qin Weiwei received it. With a cold expression, she injected transcendence energy to examine the contents of the contract, but the more she read, the more speechless she became.
The other party really didn't harm any of Mount Calming Sea's interests. This was because he wanted to spend his own cultivation resources to support his subordinates to serve Mount Calming Sea. He didn't want to trouble Mount Calming Sea in any way. East Arrival Cave was still Mount Calming Sea's East Arrival Cave. If he still objected, it would be a little unreasonable.
What's more, there were no rules that forbade their subordinates from recruiting people with high cultivation bases or having more than ten people. Some powers did this in order to foster their own heirs within the rules.
But the more it was like this, the more uncomfortable Qin Weiwei felt. She could tell that this guy had indeed struck it rich after his trip to the Sea of Constellations. He was even richer than her, the Mountain Chieftain, and didn't need to rely on her at all.
Qin Weiwei was a little speechless as she tossed the jade archive back.
When the others saw that the Mountain Chieftain didn't have any objections, they were instantly tempted. Their gazes shifted towards the School of Blue Jade's disciples. All of them had the faint thought of imitating Miao Yi.
Gongsun Yu cupped his fists and politely replied. He borrowed the jade archive in Miao Yi's hands to examine the contract. If it was possible, he also wanted to go to the School of Blue Jade to recruit a group of people.
But after reading the price paid, Gongsun Yu's expression froze. He passed the contract to the person beside him who wanted to read it. After all, no one wanted to be a Cave Master without any followers.
Those who read the contents of the contract one by one either had twitching expressions or shut their mouths obediently. They hurriedly gave up on the idea. None of them could afford to play around. Even if they wanted to, they didn't have the strength.
Everyone finally understood why Cave Master Miao was able to recruit those people from the School of Blue Jade. He had used cultivation resources to do so. Not a single abode would be able to fork out one hundred and fifty-two thousand Gold Crystals and one hundred and thirty low-grade Orbs of Will a year.
Even Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei wouldn't be able to afford to support such a large number of cultivation resources, not to mention small Cave Masters like them.
Everyone was rather skeptical as to whether Miao Yi would be able to fork out so many cultivation resources. But when they saw the six storage rings on Miao Yi's hand, and then thought of the transcendent artifacts on his body, they couldn't help but sigh. They didn't know where this guy had gotten them from. If there was a chance, they would have to get closer to Cave Master Miao and see if they could find out anything.
Gongsun Yu felt even more helpless as he looked at the six storage rings on Miao Yi's hand. He shook his head in envy and jealousy, thinking that this kid really didn't know how to restrain himself at all. He wore six storage rings in one go, and even got himself a full set of transcendent artifacts for his dragon steed. He was as ostentatious as he could get. Was he afraid that others wouldn't know that he was a nouveau riche? Wasn't he afraid that someone would rob him?
Little did they know that Miao Yi didn't want to be so ostentatious. It was just that he had a little too many storage rings. He really didn't think it was too much to wear a few more. There were still over two hundred rings tied around his waist, but he didn't have the nerve to show them to everyone. He truly felt that he was keeping a low profile enough.
Most importantly, these six storage rings were all filled with different types of items. It wouldn't be safe to put them anywhere else. It was best to wear them on one's finger and be able to see them at any time. At the very least, he would know if he lost them, and it would be convenient to retrieve them. He wouldn't have to dig out his clothes every time he retrieved something. Weren't storage rings for convenience?
As for the ridiculously domineering armor on Charcoal's body, he didn't want to be so ostentatious. He didn't even want to refine it back then, but Yao Ruoxian insisted on doing it. What could he do? He couldn't beat that scoundrel Yao Ruoxian, so he couldn't refuse.
He had already refined the items, but he wasn't going to use them when he risked his life on the battlefield? It was more likely that there was something wrong with his brain. No matter how much he kept a low profile, it wouldn't be as important as protecting his own life, right?
Seeing that everyone was stunned by the contract, Qin Weiwei suddenly felt aggrieved for no reason at all. On the surface, she still gave Miao Yi a stern warning, "Look after your East Arrival Cave. If East Arrival Cave doesn't hand over enough items this year, don't blame me for being rude!"
This was a warning to Miao Yi that he shouldn't take too many of East Arrival Cave's resources. He turned to the others and shouted, "Let's go!"
Just like that, she led the group of people and sped away.
Miao Yi stretched out his hand, wanting to stop her from leaving first. She should take my list of names before leaving. But when he turned to look at the situation on Hong Changhai's side, he didn't know how long he would have to wait. As a Cave Master, he had no reason to ask the Mountain Chieftain to obediently wait for him, so he could only give up on this idea.
Yan Xiu sighed in his heart, feeling that the Cave Master was being a little too dramatic. He reminded him, "Cave Master, it wasn't easy for you to save the Mountain Chieftain's life. Yan Xiu believes that you should take this opportunity to build a good relationship with her."
"You think I don't want to build a good relationship with her? But you've seen her attitude. From the beginning to the end, she hasn't said a single good word to me. She simply doesn't like you. Is there anyone who treats their savior like this? To put it bluntly, this b * tch is an ingrate. If I had known earlier, I would have let this b * tch die! "Miao Yi sneered.
On Hong Changhai's side, after he had selected twenty people, he pulled two of his personal disciples aside to whisper to them. One of them was called Yuan Fang, and the other was Lai Yuhan.
"Yuan Fang, Yuhan. You've seen the situation your Master is in now!" Hong Changhai sighed.
The two disciples nodded in silence. They both knew that their Master had made a huge mess of things, causing the entire School of Blue Jade's plans to fall short of success. When they returned this time, they would probably incur the wrath of the Sect Master.
"Initially, when I brought the two of you out this time, I wanted to help the two of you fight for the position of Mountain Chieftain. Who would've thought … Sigh! Making the two of you serve a small East Arrival Cave is really a grievance! "Hong Changhai sighed again.
The two disciples, who weren't young, immediately cupped their fists and said, "It's not grievance. Master was only thinking for us and the School of Blue Jade. That's why this accident happened."
"There's no need for pleasantries." Hong Changhai waved his hand and said, "There's a reason why I didn't allow the other Blue Lotus disciples to stay, but allowed the two of you to stay. First of all, the other Blue Lotus disciples might not be willing to stay, and I don't want the two of you to be looked down upon and implicated by others when you return with me. Hiding in East Arrival Cave is a good idea. Secondly, since I've caused this mess, I need to save myself. This is because I've long since received secret reports that Miao Yi and Yang Qing are actually not on good terms on the surface. Sooner or later, they will have a falling out. However, he has gained Yang Qing's recognition and has become his trusted aide. Given time, he won't be able to run away from becoming a Mountain Chieftain. It's perfect for our School of Blue Jade to make use of him. I'm letting the two of you stay by his side so that you can help him ascend the position. Once this bastard has accumulated enough strength, you must think of a way to incite him to rebel against Yang Qing. Our School of Blue Jade can then seize the opportunity to intervene in South Edict Manor once again! "
Yuan Fang was stunned. "Then wouldn't he become the second Yang Qing?"
