Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 68 : Pushing Barran Land forward... Eve before the Battle in the Desert

The sudden news about the spirit mine found in the Southern Sea quickly spread throughout the barren land.

At first, no one believed it, thinking it was a gimmick to increase the prestige of the Celestial Heavenly Sect and the Huang Clan.

However, some curious people set sail for the area where the Spirit Vein was detected, only to find hundreds of men bringing out a special box from the depths of the sea.

Moreover, the spiritual essence in the region had increased significantly.

Su Yen had long expected the news of the Spirit mine to spread quickly.

Therefore, to increase hope and a brighter future for the people of the barren land, he commanded them not to hide the spirit stone when mined.

Subsequently, when the curious ones came to look at the so-called spirit mine, they saw some guards holding some shiny bright small yellow stones.

Even though everyone in the barren land had never seen a spirit stone, except for the sacred clan, when the people saw the guards holding the small shiny yellow stones, they knew what it was.

With that, the rumor was confirmed. A lot of both old and young people rushed to the south to see the proclaimed spirit stones.

What do spirit stones mean to the barren land? A brighter future and endless possibilities. Their land would no longer be barren.

Just as the barren land was in ecstasy from the discovery of the spirit mines, the Celestial Heavenly Sect opened a public mission Hall at their various branches all.

These news came as a shock. Why would the overlord sect need a public mission hall? No one knew, but that didn't stop the people from checking it out.

When they visited the various mission halls, the missions and the rewards left the people of the barren land amazed.

Most missions were in teams, while the solo missions required them to be strong, at least at Intermediate Body Building realm stage 6.

As for the team missions, the lowest member must be at the Early Body Building realm stage 3.

This was an impossible feat in the barren land. Most were mortals, and only a handful of people could cultivate.

Besides, the threat of the incoming Bloodmoon Envoys in the next couple of decades made them lose the zeal to cultivate.

However, the Su Sacred Clan, now the Celestial Heavenly Sect, had been pushing the narrative.

They were pushing the barrens to a new path, a path they thought they had long forgotten but now, it was rekindled.

With the Celestial Heavenly Sect at the forefront, people began to follow in their footsteps.

With the birth of powerful armors and artifacts that allowed people to communicate as if they were facing each other, now, with their discovery of the Spirit Veins, was there something impossible for them?

Therefore, many started to look for ways to cultivate. The allure of cultivation was just too good to ignore.

However, there was one problem: Where would they get the cultivation manual?

With every cultivation manual strictly controlled by the large families, and those for sale were too expensive for ordinary families, they were back to square one, weak and powerless.

But this time, things were bound to change. The Celestial Heavenly Sect released another stunning piece of news.

They would give anyone or a team a Cultivation technique and Martial technique as long as they agreed to complete a specific set of missions for the sect.

At first, the barrens were skeptical about this news. Everyone thought the Celestial Heavenly Sect was trying to enslave everyone.

However, when they found out how to get these techniques, they were left speechless.

A team needed to complete ten missions, and they would be free from the obligation, while an individual needed to complete five missions to be free.

There was nothing like a slave contract or anything. You just needed to agree.

With the slavery issue out of the way, people rushed to join the mission hall. As for those who met the mission requirements, they joined the hall directly.

Most people formed teams to reduce the burden and requirements to accomplish missions.

Apart from the barren land entering an information age, they were being pushed onto the path of strength by a certain someone — Su Yen.

Inside the Celestial Heavenly Sect, Su Yen looked at the elders and said slowly, "How are people responding to the mission hall and others?"

Elder Su Jie stood from his seat and responded,

"Since we just began this project, it would take a couple of months for us to start seeing results. Nevertheless, a lot of people signed up in the mission hall."

"Good, what about the sale of armors and spirit comms?" He asked, changing his eye's direction.

Elder Hua stood and reported with a bright smile,

"The merchant families are spreading both the armor and Spirit comms to every corner of the barren land, and our profits are increasing each day. Our stores are still receiving more customers. With the addition of Manager Yu, we've developed a business model that will increase our profits once again... but..."

The bright smile on her aged face reduced a bit before continuing,

"We've been receiving complaints about the destruction of the Metal Bone Construct, and this is affecting our sales."

Su Yen didn't have any change in his expression on his face.

He had long expected such a situation; besides, he was surprised by how long it took for the complaints to start popping up.

"Elder Sister…" He called.

"Anyone who had their armor destroyed can come to the hall for repair. The repair is half the price of the armor," Su Lan said calmly.

Su Yen and her had long made preparations for something like that. Thus, it was easily handled. When the elders heard this, a bright smile appeared on their faces.

They realized their sect master had a high foresight and would have provided a solution before the problem crept up.

Su Yen changed his gaze and looked at the elders that were now brimming with vigor. Most of them had undergone a breakthrough or two.

His elder brother was the quickest, Qi Refinement realm stage 2.

The person that surprised him the most was his elder sister and outer elder in his early thirties.

Both of them had become an Early Qi Refinement realm stage 1. The outer elder Su Bolin was quite handsome with a gentle personality.

The last time he checked, he was only at Peak of Body Building realm stage 7, but now...

"Award Elder Su Bolin fifty spirit stones," Su Yen commanded.

The elders inside the hall looked at Su Bolin with envy and smiled. They vowed to cultivate harder in the future.

Elder Su Bolin also got promoted from outer elder to Core elder directly, shocking them even more.

This kind of rapid promotion was not something they often saw. Nevertheless, everyone was happy. Their sect was getting stronger.

"How are the various disciples?" Su Yen asked, changing the topic.

Elder Jie soothed his long white beard and responded with a bright smile,

"Some talented ones are showing their dominance already in the next few months, while some are still trying to adjust their lives to the various academies."

"Good. You must not forget this is now our path. Those kids are the future of what's to come," Su Yen reminded before turning to his elder brother.

"How is the preparation for the war?"

"With the issue of spirit stones out of the way, the army is ready for deployment," Su Ming responded confidently.

"Good. We attack tomorrow," He nodded, and a sharp glint flashed through his face.

"Since they don't want to be sealed forever, then I'll make sure they never wake up again..."
