Ming Yue was excited.
She summoned several martial artist leaders and instructed them:
"Brother Qing is going to perform a ritual!"
"This ritual will be on a massive scale!"
"Gather another hundred sets of the materials I had you collect a few days ago!"
The moment the news spread, many leaders frowned.
"Lady Ming Yue, there are too many materials. I'm afraid it'll take a long time to gather them all!"
Ming Yue glared. "What do you mean, a long time?"
"You need to understand that you're working for Brother Qing!"
"Other than the Great Zhou Empire, go to the other empires and gather resources!"
"It's only a hundred sets of ritual materials!"
"If those empires open their own treasuries, they can get it done in minutes."
"Go. Don't disappoint me!"
"And don't disappoint Brother Qing!"
A group of martial artist leaders gathered together to discuss it.
"Lady Ming Yue is actually right!"
"It's just some ritual materials!"
"If Great Lord Qing wants them, everyone else has to hand them over!"
"After all, if Great Lord Qing doesn't exploit them, the Divine Court will!"
"The Divine Court can exploit them, so why can't Great Lord Qing exploit them?"
The martial artist leaders quickly settled on a plan.
Before long, tens of thousands of martial artists formed teams and scattered in all directions to gather resources.
Under Ming Yue's instruction, these martial artists came to an understanding:
Never mind whether you were an empire or an organized force.
You were all Great Lord Qing's warehouse keepers.
If Great Lord Qing wanted something, the warehouse keepers had to bring it out as quickly as possible.
Otherwise:
Changing warehouse keepers was no trouble at all.
While everyone gathered resources, Qiu Wudi went out to prepare the ritual altar that would bring Liuli back
