After establishing the guild’s base, Su Yu waited here for a little more than a month. The giant wooden ship, full of guild mbers, finally crossed over a million kiloters of sea to arrive.
After a few days of reorganization, Su Yu imdiately led the second group of over three hundred people out to sea on the Rage Whale Ship for leveling up.
The guild has a total of two giant wooden ships, four Rage Whale Ships, and fifteen Wave-piercing Ships, but most of these are assets of the first group; the second group only has one Tier Five Furious Whale Ship and four Tier Four Wave-piercing Ships.
There’s no money at the mont to purchase a giant wooden ship, each one costs over ten thousand gold.
In the days that followed, Su Yu took his subordinates to level up every day, conducting various team activities daily. He brought out Ao Run and introduced it to his subordinates, announcing that it was the team’s Guardian Divine Beast.
Then Ao Run dove into the sea, constantly driving Level 100 large monsters or bosses up for them to surround and kill.
They weren’t just leveling up occasionally; most of their ti was spent busy dealing with bosses,
Nowadays, after Ao Run’s promotion to a real dragon, it has an unparalleled template, combined with level 160. As long as it doesn’t ss with those top-level monsters, there won’t be any danger.
Generally, the coastal areas of the islands aren’t too deep, so top-level bosses are unlikely. She is basically invincible.
Every hour, when she surfaces, she drives a dozen or so Level 100 large monsters or bosses, and the three hundred or so people of the second group, prepared and waiting, rush forward and kill them in a frenzy.
"This is aweso!"
"The group leader is amazing!"
The team channel was full of cheers and laughter, and everyone was in high spirits, having long forgotten the initial gloom and anxiety upon arrival.
After three continuous days of team activities, they would rest for three days of free activities, then continue for another three days. After several rounds, all 307 people had settled their hearts and were sincerely convinced by him as their leader.
It’s the sa phrase: as long as you can lead them to a life of luxury, you’re a good leader, and they’ll be willing to listen to you.
What Su Yu could offer them was sothing very difficult for other guilds to achieve.
Leveling up with guidance is sothing any guild can offer, but there’s no guild that would offer Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit or Earth Vein Spirit Fish, treasures that can permanently increase innate attributes, for ordinary mbers to exchange. Such treasures are typically reserved for core guild mbers.
Just based on this, they could feel his sincerity.
Of course, just sincere contribution won’t completely win people’s hearts. People fear power more than they respect virtue. If you keep giving without limits, they might take it for granted, and that’s when you’ll need authority.
This requires strict rules and the self-contribution of guild mbers.
It’s only with a clear system of rewards and penalties and the significant effort the guild mbers put into team building, with the sunk costs and the benefits and advantages that they can’t get elsewhere, that they will be completely dedicated and not easily betray.
It’s worth ntioning that currently, all rewards, penalties, and the exchange of Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit and Earth Vein Spirit Fish are firmly in his hands.
If he’s not around, they are handled by Luo Qingchan. To exchange for these two items, one must go through Luo Qingchan.
Gu Zhiqiu now only has the authority for daily managent and minor decisions; major decisions still have to go through him and Qingchan.
As Zuo Zhuan says, only with power and na should one not entrust to others.
Previously at the Thousand Feather Association, there was indeed no ti, but now that transportation is convenient, he needs to take back this authority.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Gu Zhiqiu, but as a leader, he can’t allow a second voice in the group to influence his authority.
Moreover.....
Half a month after they started leveling up, a team of about 200 people arrived at Ten Thousand Poison Island.
It was Qe Dongyang who brought a batch of his brothers over from the Feixing Islands.
When the two t, Su Yu didn’t waste words and said directly:
"I’m now the leader of the second group, temporarily managing only one unit. Brother, your people will form the second unit, with the sa treatnt as the first unit."
Qe Dongyang, who had already made up his mind, nodded and said:
"No problem."
"Co, I’ll take you to see the guild leader."
In the afternoon, Su Yu took Qe Dongyang and his 203 subordinates to join a boss hunting activity with the first unit.
The guild’s two major arrays and the unparalleled template of a level 160 true dragon left everyone amazed and reassured, while the team exchange benefits had everyone excited beyond asure.
In just half a month, the forr Rage Tide Gang mbers, who had never tried hunting over a hundred Level 100 bosses daily, had no resistance, smoothly integrating into the guild.
Having confird that the guild was on the right track, Su Yu spoke with Qingchan and then found Chu Xinyue to say:
"I’m going back to the sect to prepare for the legacy trial!"
Chu Xinyue was slightly surprised:
"You’re preparing for the Xuankong Mountain legacy trial so soon? Isn’t it more prudent to wait another year?"
Su Yu smiled and said:
"If I wait another year, there might not be a spot, and besides, I am confident!"
The confidence and boldness on the young man’s face surprised Chu Xinyue. She carefully examined him; the young man she rembered was cautious and reserved.
But half a year after they last t, the once-youthful man had beco more steadfast and confident.
Watching this young man, who had been discovered and nurtured by her, rise from a newcor, defeating strong enemies to gain greater strength and status, the transformation was visible to the naked eye. Until now, he had completely tamorphosed and could stand before her without a hint of fear.
She suddenly smiled.
The young man was still the sa, but he was no longer the one who needed her support and protection. He had grown into soone capable of sheltering others and backing her up.
Chu Xinyue stood up, looking at him with gratification, and said:
"Your growth has exceeded my expectations. I’m very glad to have discovered a genius."
Su Yu clasped his hands together earnestly, bowing to Chu Xinyue, and said solemnly:
"I will rember the kindness Xinyue showed in my heart. No matter when, I will stand behind you and support you."
After a pause, he added in a deep voice:
"Regardless of good or evil, regardless of right or wrong."
Chu Xinyue reached out to support him, her eyes sparkling with a smile:
"Very well, I did not misjudge you."
Su Yu spent a few days arranging the team affairs, leaving Ao Run behind, and issued a team-wide announcent pinned to the top:
"The team will conduct a three to five-day activity each month, with the specific ti determined by Mr. Luo, and either the first squad leader Gu Zhiqiu or the second squad leader Qe Dongyang will host it, assisted by the Guardian Divine Beast."
Ao Run can only be commanded by Qingchan, so whether it’s the first squad’s request or the second squad’s, it must be communicated with Qingchan and Ao Run.
As soon as the announcent was made, everyone praised the leader’s generosity.
This equated to a stable opportunity for three to five days each month to gain a significant amount of Dao and loot, which represented a considerable inco for ordinary players.
With wealth, practice points for Dao, and various treasures difficult for ordinary people to obtain, team cohesion naturally arises.
Once the team was steadily on track, Su Yu took leave from Chu Xinyue and returned to Mingsu Palace, teleporting back to Xuankong Mountain from there.
Since gaining the favor of his grandmaster, Su Yu, while his status remained unchanged, now had significantly enhanced permissions.
Not to ntion, he can now freely use the Teleportation Array at Xuankong Mountain to travel to Mingsu Palace anyti.
However, it’s only limited to teleportation from Xuankong Mountain outward; teleporting back to the sect remains subject to other restrictions, such as only being able to use the teleportation array in Mingsu Palace once a month.
Yes, originally it could only be used once a year, then after eting Master Mingsu, it was adjusted to once every six months. Later, as his abilities and potential were recognized by his second sister-in-law, his permissions were upgraded again, now allowing use once a month, which is sufficient for his daily needs.
A month is the limit for outsiders, and unrestricted use requires being a direct disciple of Master Mingsu.
Upon returning to Xuankong Mountain, Su Yu imdiately went to pay his respects to his grandmaster:
"Grandmaster, I am ready to apply for the lineage trial!"
Master Xuanwei stroked his beard with a smile and asked:
"Have you handled everything?"
"All sorted."
Master Xuanwei nodded, his expression turned solemn, and he said sternly:
"I have high hopes for you, but according to the rules set by the founding ancestor of Xuankong Mountain, everyone must undergo the lineage trial to receive the Profound Court Manual inheritance, and you are no exception."
Su Yu hurriedly bowed and said solemnly:
"I understand, and I am willing to undertake the lineage trial."
"Good!"
Master Xuanwei nodded, continuing:
"The trial for the second half of this year will comnce in four days, during which all lineage heads of our sect will gather, and all trial applicants will comnce the trial together. You should prepare early."
"I have made all preparations."
"Good, go ahead."
After bidding farewell to his grandmaster, Su Yu returned to Fengyun Daoist School. His master was absent, only his third senior brother Shi Chunan was there, so he casually asked:
"There are four days left until the lineage trial begins. Do you know when our master will return?"
His third senior brother, with a sowhat strange expression, replied:
"The master has gone on a sect mission; he will be back before the trial starts."
"Oh!"
Shi Chunan asked in a low voice:
"Junior brother, are you confident about the lineage trial? Why not wait another year to be more prepared? Is it not too hasty now?"
Su Yu smiled slightly:
"I am very confident."
"It’s good to be confident!"
Shi Chunan nodded, sowhat believing.
In fact, he wasn’t very familiar with Su Yu’s abilities, but ever since he learned their master was ordered by the grandmaster to contribute thousands of sect points each month for his junior brother’s cultivation needs, he knew this junior brother was not ordinary, at least possessing the potential of an Earth Immortal.
Generally, disciples with excellent talent wouldn’t receive such preferential treatnt from the grandmaster, nor would it be possible for the grandmaster to have the master earn money for the disciple’s cultivation.
Upon learning this, Shi Chunan felt great and imdiately had an idea.
Seeing Su Yu again today, after a conversation, he took out a jade gourd and handed it over.
Su Yu was taken aback, looking puzzled:
"Senior brother, what’s this?"
Shi Chunan directly pushed the item to Su Yu and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, my lifeti is just like this. It’s hard to pass the Loose Immortal Tribulation, but junior brother, your talent is exceptional, with a promising top-grade Dao Foundation. I’m investing a bit now, hoping that if you get a chance to beco immortal in the future, you’ll lend a hand."
"And if I don’t live to see that day, just look after my descendants."
Such sincere words from his third senior brother made Su Yu at a loss for a mont; after thinking for a while, he replied earnestly:
"Senior brother, you worry too much. We are brothers, and in the future, if senior brother encounters difficulties, I will never stand by idly."
"Good!"
