Tian clan
In the grand hall three people were having a discussion Gue ze, Tian Ming and elder shan.
Tian clan leader Tian Ming acknowledged Gue ze talent.
"Gue Ze, now that you have offered the Earth Snow Tree, Ice Soul Field technique, and Ice Heart to the Tian clan, how can my clan accept all this so shamelessly?"
"Now, as the leader of the Tian clan, you may ask one request, and it will be fulfilled," Tian Ming said with a prideful posture.
This was the exact moment Gue ze was waiting for.
"Clan Leader, if you insist so strongly, how could an insignificant person like me refuse?"
Gue Ze looked at Tian Ming with greed in his eyes.
Clan Leader, I have heard your clan is established across three mountains.
Elder Shan usually only observes the situation without getting directly involved in conversation, but this time he spoke because he saw the greed."Gue Ze, if you are thinking of taking over one of those three peaks, then just forget it."
"Do you even know its importance?"
"On the first mountain, the members live. On the second, the elders. And on the third mountain lives the leader of the Tian clan."
Gue ze tried calm the situation. "Oh, Elder Shan, there's no need to panic. I don't intend to take it over, only to borrow it for my closed-door cultivation."
Hearing Gue Ze's words, Tian Ming thought deeply."Lending him the mountain for closed-door cultivation was possible, but how much time would he need?"
To an ordinary observer, it might appear that Gue Ze was helping Tian clan, but from Tian Ming's perspective, the clan was already in Gue Ze's debt.
Tian Ming gritted his teeth and said."fine then, Tian clan will support, you may use my mountain for your closed-door cultivation.'"
Tian Ming felt Gue Ze was not only a true genius but also very crafty.
Many in the cultivation world believe an old fox is far more dangerous than a lion because foxes will do anything to achieve their goals, while a lion might starve rather than betray its nature.
There were very few people who have mentality of fox and talent of lion those people are the most terrifying one.
Gue ze was one of them.
Gue ze sat with a respectful posture, but a faint mockery lingered on his face.
Clan leader I have two more small request if you could.
Gue ze was about to finish his sentence, but Tian Ming interrupted him, saying."If my Tian clan can fulfill it, then we will help you.'"
"As for my first request, Clan Leader, arrange one hundred live humans, any age, Secondly, gather one hundred live beasts, their rank doesn't matter."
These request were easy to complete but it could take some time to collect rank 1 beast.
Tian Ming said,"Gue ze, your request will be fulfilled, but you will need to wait for two days.'"
"Then, Clan Leader, in two days, arrange for these people and beasts to be gathered on your mountain."
Gue Ze,Tian Ming and elder shan talked until moon rose in sky.
"Clan Leader, it is already late." I will take my leave now."
"Tian Ming had a lot of life experience, but he couldn't fathom why Gue Ze needed these people and beasts."
...
In a room, Gue Lao was meditating. After awakening, every cultivator must stabilize their body through meditation, and the time required depends on the size of their core.
Gue Ze entered the room, looking at Gue Lao, he sighed deeply."
"Such a waste—even though Gue Lao had received mental path dao marks as a nature gift, it was a private path."
-
"What are public and private paths?"
"Public paths are available for every cultivator to cultivate."
"Private paths are unavailable to most cultivators because they were created by clans or organizations through their significant investment in research."
