Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 955: Chapter 702: Five Fires and Seven Beasts

A few months later, a message quietly spread within the Bright Flame Sect.

Fire Technique Golden Core Honored Guest Guo Shiyan officially stationed at Tiger Roar Peak and became a Sect Elder.

To manage an entire peak as an Honored Guest requires quite a number of personnel.

More than ten disciples recommended by True Master Shou Yang quickly entered Tiger Roar Peak to serve as stewards and servants.

This Sect Leader, though busy with various affairs, still finds time twice a month to personally visit Tiger Roar Peak, offering warmth and inquiring whether the miscellaneous duties are proceeding smoothly.

He even plans to introduce several influential elders to Shen Xuan.

After Shen Xuan politely declined, he had no choice but to abandon the idea.

The Bright Flame Sect has over thirty Golden Core True Masters, most of whom have joined True Monarch Wan Huo in the frontlines.

Currently, the sect headquarters, aside from the Sect Leader True Master Shou Yang and the Hall Master of Merit Transmission True Master Lingyan, is supported by only about ten elderly or high-ranking Golden Core Elders.

There are over a hundred cultivators in the True Pill Realm.

For someone like Ming Liu True Master, reaching the position of Vice Hall Master in the Administrative Hall is quite an achievement among them.

This structural power level, in the Qin Country, is considered a medium sect, not the top tier.

The Bright Flame Sect possesses three Tier Four Spirit Veins, its overall heritage even surpasses the strongest Profound Celestial Sect in the Song Country.

Three Nascent Souls, over thirty Golden Cores, and over a hundred True Pills, forming a relatively stable and healthy pyramid structure.

In comparison, the Profound Celestial Sect only has two Tier Four Spiritual Lands, with a similar number and quality of True Masters as the Bright Flame Sect, but strained Spiritual Veins, inevitably feeling stretched thin.

Soon after meeting Yang Yunzhao, Shen Xuan was visited by his siblings Yang Yunsu and Yang Yunqiao as well, who also settled into Tiger Roar Peak.

Assigned by Shen Xuan, the three Yang siblings were put in charge of matters related to Puppet Dogs.

When Yang Yunqiao first met Shen Xuan, she was somewhat lost, her cheeks slightly flushed.

How could she have imagined that the gentle "Brother Shen" from the past was now a Golden Core Ancestor!

Older than her grandfather.

However, after spending some time together, she gradually got used to it.

The "True Master Guo" before her was dignified and serene, completely different from the amiable "Brother Shen" she remembered.

She quietly put away the innocent affections of a young girl from her heart and devoted herself fully to the new life on Tiger Roar Peak.

Among the siblings, Yang Yunsu was the most thrilled.

He could rightfully follow Shen Xuan and work on those exquisite puppet components.

After receiving the Puppet Dog refining inheritance from Shen Xuan, he dove right in.

Though he couldn’t independently refine a complete Puppet Dog yet.

He knew by heart every joint, every array pattern within it, assembling them with ease.

Over at the Liu Family, the situation was similar, primarily responsible for Puppet Eagle matters.

Though Liu Yiyun was just a "supervisor" in name, the actual person in charge was Shen Xuan’s maid, Fragrance.

Liu Zhicheng and Liu Zhijie were responsible for errands both within and outside, material procurement, external negotiations, and other miscellaneous duties.

Soon, a brand new task announcement appeared on the jade wall of the Bright Flame Sect’s Hall of Tasks.

Tiger Roar Peak Golden Core Honored Guest Guo Shiyan is recruiting several Tier Two Artifact Refiners and Tier Two Array Masters.

Approved candidates will receive personal guidance from Honored Guest Guo, being taught the refining methods of Puppet Dogs and Puppet Eagles.

The Bright Flame Sect will purchase the finished products at high prices, exchanging them for Sect Contribution Points.

Beneath the announcement, it wasn’t long before many disciples gathered, discussing it incessantly.

"Did you see that? The new Honored Guest at Tiger Roar Peak is openly recruiting people to specifically refine Puppet Beasts!"

"It’s not just recruiting; it’s direct teaching! It’s said that Honored Guest Guo has profound achievements in artifact refining; getting even a little guidance from him would be immensely beneficial!"

"The key is the purchase price! Look, successfully refining a single Puppet Dog earns you eight hundred merit points! A Puppet Divine Eagle, a thousand merit points! That’s comparable to the reward for refining a Magical Treasure!"

"Plus, the materials are provided by the sect, no out-of-pocket expenses required. If I knew artifact refining and array formation, I’d have signed up already!"

Whispers filled with envy, admiration, and eager anticipation intertwined.

The reward is indeed too tempting, equivalent to a payout of two to three thousand Spirit Stones.

For many Foundation Establishment disciples, it’s an excellent source of income.

Not to mention getting a free Tier Two inheritance.

For a time, the Bright Flame Sect disciples flocked to the Steward Hall to sign up, eager to join the "Puppet Beast" task.

Within just a few days, the number of applicants accumulated to three or four hundred, an impressive sight.

...

Half a year later.

Demon Beast Battlefield, Bright Flame Sect Frontline.

On a vast wasteland, flags fluttered, and Evil Qi soared into the sky.

The army of Human Race Cultivators was sternly arrayed, spiritual light linking into sheets, condensing into a thick defensive barrier like an insurmountable wall.

On the opposite side were the endless hills and plains, teeming with Demon Beast armies of various forms.

They anxiously pawed at the ground, emitting low growls, merging into a heart-palpitating wave of violence.

In the center of the standoff, the air seemed to freeze.

In the midst of the human array, a blazing firelight shot into the sky!

The firelight dissipated, revealing an old Daoist in flame-patterned red-gold robes with a dignified presence.

His beard and hair were entirely red, moving without wind, surrounded by spiritual fire phantoms of various colors, occasionally forming lotus flowers or transforming into divine birds.

This was one of the three Nascent Souls of the Bright Flame Sect, True Monarch Wan Huo.

Deep within the Demon Beast army, a mass enveloped in blinding lightning suddenly exploded!

A bizarre figure with a human body and a roc’s head, with sky-covering golden wings, tore through the clouds, suspended in the sky.

Its face covered with fine golden feathers, a fierce vertical mark on the forehead, with roc eyes as sharp as electricity, lightning flickering between glances, wielding a god-killing spear entirely black, exuding a chilling Evil Qi freezing the Divine Soul.
