Chapter 71.2: What's Important are the Elixir Cultivators
"Alright, stop kidding around already. Let's talk about more serious matters!" In the first seat below the throne, sat a gentle and refined man with a cold demeanor, who looks like a scholar.
And in the grand hall, besides the man who had that malicious trick played on him and Mei Ji, there was also another white robed man who was untainted by even a single speck of dust.
The aura around him was so clean and pure it felt as if he was a child unacquainted with the affairs of the world. His countenance was peerlessly good looking, like a deity in a painting, except for that dark red eyes that seemed to be filled with tears of blood, crystalline clear and completely untainted, giving people the feeling he was one of the deities among the Nine Heavens, almost ephemeral and illusory like, looking so highly harmless, but exuded an indescribable kind of detached chill.
The scholar like man then opened his mouth to say. "Those guys from the Hunter's Guild were rather shocked by the sudden return of our Lord recently and till now, they had not dared to stir up trouble or have gone against us. But though they have called a halt to their actions, it does not mean that we should just remain quiet and just wait for things to happen. The disciples of the Dark Legion numbered in the hundreds of thousands before but we are now left with less than one hundred thousand, our might greatly decreased. I think we should recruit more people to join us and if there isn't anyone in Cloud Heaven, we can look for some great sprouts from the White Fen Lands and develop them, preparing ourselves for times that we happen to be in need."
With those words, the several people were all silent for a while till the man in the royal blue robe opened his mouth to speak: "We should act on that quickly but we can't rush something like this. It was because we recruited great numbers of people before that allowed the spies from Zhuge Xiong to sneak in among us. Although our numbers are smaller now, but among all the people left, they are all our own people. We have to be careful with this and I'll rather do without it than have it carried out in careless haste."
"This time, I agree with what Xun Luo is saying. So what if we have less people? If we train them up and bring up their fighting powers, a single man on our side will be able to take on a hundred enemies. We from the Dark Legion have never been dependant on the number of disciples we have but individual prowess." Mei Ji said with her lips curled up, her eyes shining with proud and absolute confidence.
Her eyes then turned towards the white robed man beside her, and her gaze softened before she said with a laugh. "Little Monster, do you have any suggestion?"
The white robed man had been surprisingly quiet all this time and hearing someone call his name, he raised his eyes and then slowly spoke, his voice sounding like a breeze passing over the surface of water, sending faint ripples through the air. "Elixir Cultivator."
He only said those two words and did not expound further, but the others looked like it had suddenly just dawned upon them.
"You are saying that we should recruit a few Elixir Cultivators?" Xun Luo looked as if he had just been enlightened. "Why didn't I think of that! ? It was exactly because we were poisoned by that scoundrel Zhuge Xiong's poison that we suffered such bad losses, where so many of our people died. Even Little Monster had suffered from it."
"If our Dark Legion has many Elixir Cultivators behind us, we wouldn't need to be afraid of him and his nefarious tricks anymore! I will go ask them to act on it immediately." Xun Luo was fired up and he was going to stride right out when he was held back but a voice.
"Ordinary ones won't do." The white robed man continued to say softly.
Zhuge Xiong himself was a very high leveled Elixir Cultivator and was highly adept with poison, reaching almost to the realm of perfection.
Mei Ji glared at Xun Luo angrily. "Can't you just hear Little Monster out till he's finished? Are you in such a hurry to go get yourself reincarnated?"
Xun Luo was deflated. "….." [I've realized my mistake. Will that do?]
"At least of the Green Bronze level."
The grades for Elixir Cultivators had a total of seven levels. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Green Bronze, White Silver, Platinum and Supreme Emperor.
And every grade had another ten levels in between, the difference from one level to the next very great. In the low level lands, a Silver grade Elixir Cultivator was considered to be outstanding and a gold grade Elixir Cultivator would usually be able to hold a leading position within a family clan.
