Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 699 - 0: Important Meeting_1
In a luxurious conference room in the Immortal Palace, Zhang Bin, Master Tianlong, and Zhao Dawei were holding a meeting. The third leader had already departed. Before leaving, he told Zhang Bin that Master Tianlong and Zhao Dawei could answer any of his questions, and that any requests could be made to the state. His only demand was for a thorough reformation of the Daoyi Sect.
In truth, Zhang Bin wasn’t too keen on becoming the Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect. However, he considered that guiding the sect onto the right path could earn him a considerable amount of merit, and that it would be easier to acquire merit through the sect in the future. With that in mind, he didn’t refuse.
"Should I call you Protector of the Nation Master or Sect Master of the Daoyi Sect from now on?" Master Tianlong teased.
"Just call me Zhang Bin," Zhang Bin laughed. "Master Tianlong, I want to vigorously reform the Daoyi Sect. Do you have any advice?" He was well aware that Master Tianlong had always served the country, earning a huge amount of merit, and was exceedingly familiar with the Daoyi Sect.
"You are the Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect, so how you reform it is up to you. Do I not trust your abilities?" Master Tianlong said with a smile. "I stayed behind today mainly to discuss the responsibilities of the Daoyi Sect with you. Your earlier description of managing the country’s cultivators was too simplistic; that’s just a minor aspect. It seems you are completely unaware of the truly important responsibilities."
"Uh... is that so?" Zhang Bin felt a little embarrassed.
"Yes. You made a huge fool of yourself earlier, but they didn’t dare to laugh," Zhao Dawei added with a mischievous grin.
Master Tianlong began to explain. The first and foremost responsibility of the Daoyi Sect is to counter provocations from foreign sects, overseas sects, and other formidable powers.
"You must understand, in Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history, it wasn’t only Chinese Cultivators who received ancient legacies. Foreign cultivators received them as well, and their strength is terrifying. Some sects are so powerful that the sects of China can only resist by banding together. Such sects and powers occasionally come to China to provoke, sometimes quite brazenly. The Daoyi Sect must step forward to confront and suppress them. If they truly cannot be suppressed, you must seek assistance from China’s many powerful sects."
"Damn... does that mean there will be fights?" Far from being intimidated, Zhang Bin was excited.
He knew all too well that his cultivation was progressing too quickly. Without enough combat experience, his foundation and even his cultivation realm had become somewhat unstable. To eliminate this drawback, he had to engage in bloody battles with powerful opponents. For instance, his recent fight with Si Yangze had left him feeling an incredible sense of exhilaration. This showed him just how vital combat was.
"It’s not like there’s a fight every day, but they do happen occasionally," Master Tianlong said with a smile. He clearly understood Zhang Bin’s shortcomings and could therefore comprehend his excitement.
"Occasionally? That won’t do. It would be best if there were fights every day. In that case, can I go and provoke overseas powers?" Zhang Bin asked with a mischievous grin.
"Of course you can, but the consequences won’t be good. You’ll likely be dealt with harshly by their experts, and you could even be killed. Don’t think you’re so powerful. In front of a true master, you are nothing. If they dispatch a Nascent Soul Stage Master or an SSS-Class Superpower Expert, you won’t be able to resist. So, it’s best not to be too arrogant," Master Tianlong advised. "Later, you should carefully study the information on foreign powers that the Daoyi Sect has compiled. Then you will understand."
"I won’t be reckless. I’ll thoroughly research their backgrounds first." Far from being afraid, Zhang Bin’s anticipation grew even stronger. If foreign powers weren’t strong and lacked top-tier experts, he would find his enthusiasm waning.
Alas... For a young man so eager for battle to become the Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect... I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse? Master Tianlong muttered to himself. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
He then said solemnly, "The second duty of the Daoyi Sect is to organize experts to participate in the World Competition of the Strong. This event is held every three years and is very important. We must achieve good results. Otherwise, we won’t have the power to deter others, and foreign forces might invade our Cultivation World. You should know, they’ve been coveting China’s ancient legacies for a long time."
"The World Competition of the Strong is only a year away, so you must organize a good team. Hmm, you can also request that the major sects send their experts," Zhao Dawei said gravely.
Master Tianlong added seriously, "The third duty of the Daoyi Sect is managing China’s cultivators and its various sects and Ancient Martial Families."
At this point, his expression became extremely grave. "In China, there are many powerful sects and Ancient Martial Families. The situation is quite complex, and they don’t necessarily hold the Daoyi Sect in high regard. There are several families you must pay special attention to and be wary of. The most troublesome is the Zhangsun Clan. This clan is terrifyingly powerful, teeming with geniuses and experts. Even the Laoshan Sect is affiliated with this clan. They have always been somewhat unruly. When Laoshan Cultivators come down the mountain to gain experience, they tend not to join important state departments, but instead join the Zhangsun Clan..."
"There’s actually a family that refuses to be disciplined?" A wary expression appeared on Zhang Bin’s face. He knew that the Laoshan Sect was an extremely powerful sect, on par with Kunlun and Shushan, and perhaps even more mysterious.
But the Laoshan Sect actually belongs to the Zhangsun Clan? Just how powerful must the Zhangsun Clan be? It seems a young punk from the Zhangsun Clan once pursued Su Man and was taught a harsh lesson by me. Looks like a conflict with this clan is inevitable. I must get stronger, and quickly. I also have to make the Taiqing Sect stronger faster. Otherwise, I’m in for a lot of trouble.
"So, as long as the Zhangsun Clan doesn’t go too far, the Daoyi Sect has traditionally turned a blind eye and not meddled in their affairs," Zhao Dawei said cautiously.
"Hehe..." Zhang Bin gave Zhao Dawei a wicked grin. "Brother, from today on, you’re the Vice Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect. You can keep a close eye on the Zhangsun Clan for me."
"What? Me, the Vice Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect?" Zhao Dawei was utterly shocked and incredulous. "I’ve only cultivated to the Rushing Pulse Realm and have just opened sixteen meridians... How can I possibly be the Vice Sect Leader? Besides, I’m a member of the Special Action Team."
"Master Tianlong, will you let him go?" Zhang Bin asked, looking at Master Tianlong with a mischievous smile.
"Of course," Master Tianlong chuckled.
"Master Tianlong, you can’t set me up like this!" Zhao Dawei cried, sweating profusely with anxiety. He knew very well that being the Vice Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect involved handling countless matters. It might be prestigious, but the work would be exhausting. Most importantly, he didn’t have the strength for it; no one would respect him.
"It’s settled then," Zhang Bin said in a tone that brooked no argument.
"I’m doomed," Zhao Dawei said with a look of dismay, casting a deeply resentful glance at Zhang Bin.
