Chapter 279 Layout
War is never child's play. Even though he had simulated it many times in the simulation, he still couldn't guarantee that he could come back alive from the cross-border war, let alone guarantee that Pei Yu and Hu Mingyu would come back. Therefore, he still needed to make arrangements for things at home in advance. When these combatants were not at home, the safety of the Flood Dragon Palace also needed to be taken even more seriously.
Soon it was time for the afternoon meeting. All the elders of the Flood Dragon Palace were already there. After Gu Yuchuan walked in, everyone stood up and bowed to him. After he sat down, he waved his hand and told everyone to stand up.
"Alright, no need for formalities. You should all know why I called you here today, right? It's about the upcoming interdimensional war. Our Flood Dragon Palace will also be involved. Not only our Flood Dragon Palace, but the entire Cloud Sea Marsh, and even the Great Yong Dynasty and Dragon Tiger Mountain of the human race will be going together."
Everyone's face showed shock. They hadn't expected this matter to be so far-reaching. This was a war between worlds.
When Yunhai Tiangong told everyone about this, they didn't go into such detail. Indeed, it's not a good thing to tell people who aren't going to participate in the war so much before it even starts. So, everyone only knew there was a battle, but they didn't know who it was with or how large it was.
“I definitely have to go to our Flood Dragon Palace. There are many things involved, so I won’t go into them. The two Foundation Establishment candidates are Pei Yu and Hu Mingyu. You two will stay after the meeting. I will give you specific instructions on what to pay attention to on the battlefield. Next, we will talk about what to do at home during wartime.”
Everyone was very attentive and waited for Gu Yuchuan's instructions.
"The first thing is that Linlang Pavilion will be temporarily closed. Throughout the entire war, Linlang Pavilion will not be open for business. Song Chuan, you should also come back to Jiaolong Palace and cultivate properly for a while. Your cultivation level is a bit lagging behind. You'd better be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. Otherwise, once the market is completed, you won't be able to be the manager of Linlang Pavilion. Such a large shop certainly can't be managed by a Qi Refining stage cultivator. Do you understand?"
Song Chuan knelt on the ground, his voice trembling with tears: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will work hard, I must advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Although he said those words, his eyes revealed sadness. He knew that he was just a mortal beast, and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was extremely difficult. He didn't want to be abandoned like this, but he had no choice.
Gu Yuchuan could naturally see the sorrow in his heart. He thought about what the other party had done since joining the Flood Dragon Palace. He was loyal and devoted, and had made many contributions to the Linlang Pavilion. He was a man of great merit and hard work. So, he decided to give him a hand to avoid disappointing everyone.
"In recognition of your loyalty and competence, I will reward you with a spiritual medicine to advance your bloodline and a few bottles of Green Sprout Pills. Cultivate diligently, and once you become a demon beast, at least the threshold of Foundation Establishment will not be so difficult."
Song Chuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. These things were so precious that he could never obtain them on his own in his entire life.
"Your subordinate will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to Your Majesty's expectations. I will also be more loyal and dedicated in the future."
The other subordinates were also very envious of this scene. This was actually a version of "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones" in another world. As long as you are loyal enough and capable, Gu Yuchuan is willing to invest in you. He is very generous. I believe that everyone will work harder in the future.
"Chongyun, take these two top-grade spiritual artifacts. They are only temporarily lent to you so that you can better protect the Flood Dragon Palace while I am away. If anyone dares to cause trouble, kill them without mercy. If you can't defeat them, activate the formation. Our formation is at the peak of the third grade. Even enemies in the Nascent Soul stage will have a hard time being dealt with quickly."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "If you manage these things well during this time, I will officially give you these two spiritual artifacts after I return. If you don't manage them well, these spiritual artifacts will no longer belong to you."
Chongyun Sanren was also extremely excited. This was a top-grade spiritual artifact, something that money couldn't buy anywhere. As an array master, he certainly didn't lack spirit stones, but he didn't have any top-grade spiritual artifacts. He only had two high-grade spiritual artifacts. He had to handle things carefully during this period and try to obtain these two spiritual artifacts.
He rose and knelt down: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although I have not been a member of our Flood Dragon Palace for long, this Flood Dragon Palace is also my home. I will do my best to protect our home. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will kill him."
Gu Yuchuan nodded and looked at Bai Ming and Bai Li: "You two should also pay more attention at home. Bai Ming, keep an eye on the little demons below and try to get them to explore deeper. Try to stay home as much as possible to avoid any trouble. Bai Li, just focus on your cultivation and try to improve your strength."
The two nodded in agreement, and Gu Yuchuan stood up, his expression becoming much more serious.
"This war is both an opportunity and a challenge, not only for the cultivators who go to the battlefield, but also for you. I hope that during my absence from the Flood Dragon Palace, you can manage the Flood Dragon Palace very well, so that I can see your abilities. When I return, I will naturally reward you according to your merits. At that time, whether it is spiritual items for bloodline advancement, cultivation resources and pills, or even magic treasures and spiritual artifacts, I can provide them all. You must seize this opportunity."
Everyone knelt down and explained their reasons, which greatly pleased Gu Yuchuan. He hoped they could give him a satisfactory answer.
"You may all leave, except Hu Mingyu and Pei Yu."
After they all left, the two of them sat a little closer to Gu Yuchuan.
"I'm keeping you here to talk to you about the war, so you're prepared and won't be caught off guard. Take a look at the situation in the Canglan Realm first. This Canglan isn't a traditional cultivation world; it's quite different from ours. Just take a look and have a general idea."
The two took the jade slip and began to examine it carefully. In this war, even the slightest carelessness could cause unpredictable losses, and they took this matter very seriously.
Gu Yuchuan continued, "Once we get to the military camp, I will make proper arrangements for you and have your officers pay close attention to you. However, this is war, and no one can guarantee their survival. You still need to be careful. Remember, survival is the most important thing. Everything else can wait. Now, I will take you to the Cloud Sea Palace tomorrow. Get a good rest tonight."
After saying this, they bowed and left.
