115: Candidates for the Lower Realm (Picture)
As for why none of them wanted to descend to the Lower Realm, it was because each descent came at a considerable cost to themselves, causing varying degrees of damage to their bodies, not to mention the possibility of staying in the Lower Realm for a very long time!
After all, immortal spirit grass is such a good thing; you can't wait until it's fully mature before going down. If there's an accident and some ignorant native picks it, that would be a huge joke.
And the longer they stay down there, the greater the damage to their bodies. This is an intractable problem!
As for whether they should enrich themselves and secretly pick some immortal spirit grass once they're down there, that's even less of a thought!
The quantity of immortal spirit grass in the Lower Realm is limited, and the Zhang Family is perfectly clear on this. Those who descend have mission targets; they must bring back the minimum quantity required by the Zhang Family, otherwise, the Zhang Family won't reason with you!
Furthermore, the Zhang Family has backup arrangements in the Lower Realm, so they aren't worried that the people who go down will dare to cause trouble!
And the reward for completing the mission is only one immortal spirit grass, which cannot fully compensate for their own injuries.
Of course, as an Elder of the Zhang Family, there are naturally other benefits, so it's not entirely about self-sacrifice, otherwise, who would be willing to be an Elder in the Zhang Family?
Now that the Zhang Family has new Elders, they naturally want the new Elders to go to the Lower Realm, which means they can postpone their own turns for a long time.
For example, that old man, he doesn't have many years left to live. Perhaps this time, by sending Yu Gang to the Lower Realm, he might already be dead by the time it's his turn again.
That's why he firmly opposed Zhang Wei; this Yu Gang must go to the Lower Realm!
Facing the opposition of many Elders, Zhang Wei also felt helpless and could only look at Yu Gang with an apologetic expression.
Yu Gang, however, remained calm and composed.
"Family Head, since all the Elders want me to go to the Lower Realm, I naturally cannot refuse! I should go, I still have to go!"
"But Great Revered Master Yu, your Cultivation..."
"That's right, I only have Golden Core Cultivation, and my combat power is as low as it can get. I'm not even a match for the natives down there..."
"However, I think I can send my Disciples to the Lower Realm to complete this mission. This can both train them and secure benefits for the Family."
"This..." Zhang Wei hesitated.
At this moment, another middle-aged Elder stood up and offered a different opinion: "Although Elder Yu's words make sense, we also need to consider the dangers of the Mountain and Sea Realm. I believe we should select some experienced Cultivators to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"No worries!" Yu Gang smiled faintly.
"I will send my senior Disciple Dai Dabai and his fiancée Miss Zhu Zhu together. I guarantee nothing will go wrong! And regarding the damage to the body in the Lower Realm, the lower the Cultivation, the lower the damage, so my two Disciples will be perfectly fine!"
"Oh? The senior Disciple Great Revered Master Yu mentioned, is he the one who has been making waves recently, Shrek?"
"Exactly, it's them!" Yu Gang said proudly.
"Oh, it's His Highness Dabai!" An Elder exclaimed.
"Since it's His Highness Dabai and his fiancée, then we naturally feel relieved! The two of them have outstanding Aptitude and are the prized Disciples of Elder Yu Gang, so they are certainly worthy of our trust."
"Indeed, although they are both young, they have already made quite a name for themselves in the Cultivation World."
"Yes, His Highness Dabai's Aptitude is even more of a Prodigy, and the Cultivation Technique he Cultivates is also top-tier."
"That Miss Zhu Zhu is also a match for any man; her Cultivation is also very strong, and it is said that the Cultivation Technique she Cultivates is also very rare."
"I remember Miss Zhu Zhu once single-handedly withstood a high-level Yao Beast, which shows how powerful she is!"
"That's right! Zhu Zhu has very rich combat experience, and she also possesses a unique Spell that can play a huge role in combat!"
"The strength of the two of them will definitely allow them to be safe and sound in the Lower Realm!"
"Since that's the case, then let the two of them go to the Lower Realm! I believe with the two of them there, the mission will definitely be completed successfully! At the same time, our Zhang Family can also save Face for the Dai Dynasty!" Zhang Wei immediately made his decision.
"Agree!"
"Concur!"
...
Chen Xuan's side.
"Bastard! This beast, to actually attack you two for his own selfish desires! I really wish I could slap him to death!" Zhao Weiwu was so angry he could barely breathe.
He only felt that he was too much of a failure; such an act of kinslaying actually occurred at the hands of his own son!
"It's alright, old man, I, the person involved, don't even mind, why are you getting so angry? Just prepare the elites of the Zhao Family and come to my Xuan Yang Sect!" Chen Xuan comforted him.
"My son-in-law, I, this old man, have wronged you in this matter. I will definitely compensate you!"
"No, no need. Besides Wenwen and Ling Wu, I don't fancy anyone else in your Zhao Family! You should go back and prepare. Sect Leader Liu might arrive soon!" Chen Xuan waved his hand and said.
"Sigh!" The old man sighed and left.
That evening, moonlight spilled into Chen Xuan's courtyard. Liu Yuning hurried over with light steps.
Her Face was slightly tired but could not conceal her beauty. Liu Yuning wore a light green long dress, her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. The moonlight illuminated her Face, making her features even more delicate: eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, a prominent nose, and lips like painted vermillion.
(My image can't be displayed, everyone can just put the image here.)
"You brat, what news is it this time that you've called me over for! If you dare to tease me, I'll make sure you know why flowers are so red!"
"Hey, 'why flowers are so red' isn't that my phrase? How did it become yours?"
"Hmph, it's mine now!"
"Alright, alright, it's yours. This time, Senior Martial Uncle, I called you over because there's something important to discuss!"
"What is it?"
"Please, Senior Martial Uncle, come inside to discuss!"
With that said, Chen Xuan, without further ado, took Liu Yuning's slender hand and walked into the house.
However, the moment they touched, her Face flushed.
She struggled slightly but found that Chen Xuan held her very tightly, making it impossible to break free. So, she began to get nervous.
After all, Chen Xuan had said last time that if he wanted little Yueyi to join the Xuan Yang Sect, it would either be when she grew up and chose it herself, or if he and Han Wanqing...
Han Wanqing, too, really! To teach such a guy who deceives his Revered Master and destroys his ancestors!
What if, in a moment, he... he confessed his feelings to her? Wouldn't that be... Even if she refused, it would be very awkward to meet him later!
Ahhh, hateful Han Wanqing, how can you be a Revered Master!
