Chapter 845: Two Gifts
Chapter 845: Two Gifts
September 25, 2017
The Dizhi organization, despite their name, is not a large group in terms of numbers. They have twelve core members, and their entire structure revolves around these twelve.
Beyond the core, they have peripheral members, but their numbers are not significant, and their organizational structure is not particularly tight-knit. Many of their peripheral members are merely transactional associates, unaware that they are dealing with the Dizhi. In this peripheral structure, they resemble the Outsiders more.
This is an inevitable situation; after all, it's challenging for a loose group of individuals to form a large, tightly-knit organization.
However, within the Dizhi, there is another layer between the twelve core members and the ordinary periphery, known as the Zhigan. They are carefully selected from the periphery for their abilities and loyalty.
The Zhigan's primary functions are intelligence gathering and mission support for the twelve Dizhi. Aside from this, they also serve as a talent reserve for the Dizhi.
Should any of the twelve Dizhi encounter issues, they will select suitable candidates from the Zhigan to join the core.
In theory, this is the plan, but it has never been done before for a simple reason—the twelve Dizhi have never faced problems. It's not that they are invincible, but rather that the organization is young and has yet to experience setbacks.
But recently, the Dizhi faced a setback. A mission regarding Lu HaiKong directly led to the loss of four members. Initially, they wanted to struggle and retrieve those four from Lu HaiKong, but it's challenging as the Dizhi is a new organization, and the Zhigan has not cultivated many members yet, nor can they guarantee talent or loyalty.
Unfortunately, rescuing the four by force from Lu HaiKong is highly difficult, and compromising with him is out of the question.
Five hundred million gold and hiring assassins—neither option is bearable for the Dizhi. They cannot afford such a massive price, nor would they consider paying it to retrieve the four. Instead, they must consider selecting new members for the twelve Dizhi from the Zhigan.
However, this choice is not easy. The twelve Dizhi are not ordinary; most people cannot bear such a title or sit securely in their position.
Moreover, considering the Dizhi's current talent reserve, even with lowered standards, they cannot gather four suitable members. So, the remaining eight Dizhi have an additional task—to find talented individuals with the right abilities.
Some kind-hearted people are willing to help them in this matter.
...
Bingzhou, Beifeng, and the Juyi Hall.
Lu HaiKong originally thought that after a good meal and rest, he could happily cultivate his new technique, the 'Purple Qi Dragon Ascension.'
But reality proved him wrong. It's not that the technique had issues; after all, even the system rewarded him. The problem lies in this world.
In the world of cultivation, Lu Hai Kong, a legendary cultivator, found himself in a peculiar situation with his two young daughters. Despite their mischievous antics, Lu Hai Kong cherished the warmth and love they brought into his life.
After Lu Hai Kong's recent trip to Bingzhou, which lasted over a month, he returned home to find his daughters waiting for him. They had prepared a bottle of wine, a gift from his eldest daughter, which he cherished. He knew that his daughter, a legendary cultivator herself, had a deep understanding of wine and its effects on cultivation.
As Lu Hai Kong began his cultivation, he noticed something peculiar about his new cultivation technique, 'Purple Qi Rising Dragon Manual'. Its level was only at the first stage, indicating that the system recognized it as a brand new technique.
Unbothered by this, Lu Hai Kong proceeded with his cultivation, focusing on the new technique's potential to enhance his cultivation base.
The wine, a legendary-level item, promised to increase one's cultivation by fifteen years and strengthen the meridians, which was exactly what Lu Hai Kong needed.
As Lu Hai Kong drank the wine, he felt its effects immediately. Whether it was due to the loss of his previous cultivation or the novelty of his new technique, his cultivation soared, and he felt revitalized.
On one hand, the ancient and mysterious song of his daughter, with its soothing melody, revitalized his spirit and soul. Her song, a legendary-level skill, had a profound impact on Lu Hai Kong, allowing him to recover from his mental exhaustion and enter a state of full vitality.
On the other hand, Lu Hai Kong felt a sense of home and warmth. His daughters, despite their mischievous ways, brought him joy and comfort.
Lu Hai Kong cherished these moments with his daughters, knowing that their antics were just their way of expressing their emotions, much like children seeking attention through pranks.
As he cultivated, Lu Hai Kong felt the love and warmth of being a father. Despite their antics, his daughters brought him joy and comfort, and he cherished these moments.
