The disciples who had still been somewhat hesitant and afraid before now had only fierce longing and excitement left in their eyes.
"A position as an elder—that doesn't just mean a leap in status and resources. It means access to the sect's core. The Great Dao would be within reach!"
"Unlimited resources... Doesn't that mean the Jade Condensation Pill that's troubled me for so long could be eaten like rice?"
"The spiritual energy in Flowing Cloud Cave on Heaven Pivot Peak is the finest in the entire sect. If I could obtain it..."
"The secret teachings in the Library Pavilion might be able to resolve the hidden dangers in my cultivation method..."
"I'll risk it. If I can return safely, with unlimited resources supporting me, reaching the Venerable realm might not be hopeless. By then, I'd lock in an elder's position ahead of time, and my future would be bright..."
"..."
Elder Pei looked at the disciples below whose emotions had been stirred up, and he felt extremely satisfied.
Sure enough, generous rewards always brought out brave men.
For cultivators, what they longed for most was nothing more than resources, inheritances, and prospects.
The sect had spared no expense this time, and it seemed that it had indeed been somewhat useful.
"Enough!"
"Since everyone already understands the stakes, we will now begin dividing into groups!"
"This exploration team has thirty people in total, divided into three groups!"
"Each group will have ten people, looking after one another, and will be led by one team captain!"
He took out a jade tube that had been prepared long ago and began reading out the list of names.
One name after another was called, and every disciple whose name was read was surrounded by emotions such as nervousness and excitement.
