When Qin Shujian arrived,
Shen Yuqing had already guessed that he had come for materials.
After all, the few times he had come here,
it had almost always been for that purpose.
Even so, Qin Shujian's words left him momentarily stunned. Then he said, "Sect Master, if you take all the materials of the sixth tier and above from the warehouse, the Forging Hall will be short of materials for a while."
Sixth-tier materials
were occasionally needed even by high-grade forge masters.
After all,
the Forging Hall needed a reserve of high-tier materials, so that they would not discover an empty warehouse only when they needed something.
Qin Shujian said, "Just issue a few missions for the Forging Hall. It won't take long to replenish the materials."
"Then please follow me, Sect Master!"
Hearing this, Shen Yuqing did not insist any further.
Ultimately,
although he was the Forging Hall Master and oversaw all its affairs, that only applied when Qin Shujian was absent.
When Qin Shujian was present,
even a hall master like him had to follow his instructions.
Soon,
after a quick tally of the materials' value, Qin Shujian transferred the corresponding contribution points to Shen Yuqing and took all the materials away.
Looking at the empty warehouse, Shen Yuqing felt utterly helpless.
Afterward,
Qin Shujian went to Zheng Fang and said, "I need a count of the Origin Sect's disciples at every rank, as well as its inner and outer stewards, guest elders, retainers, and so on. Give me the exact figures within a day."
"Very well." Zheng Fang nodded.
Although he did not know what Qin Shujian wanted the figures for, obtaining them was hardly difficult.
Afterward,
Zheng Fang passed down the order.
He had been given a day, but in reality, he gathered everything Qin Shujian
