"We will first go to a merchant guild that is capable enough of providing a good amount of information. We need to buy some of the herbs too, as long as it's not too costly. We will also need to get a list of all powers which managed to establish themselves within the water-mist village as they would be our target."

"What are you planning to do?"

"My brother reported that this place is ten times more heinous than Taiwan mountains. Looting and killing was a normal occurrence. IF we do have such good preys in front of our eyes, why not eat them. It would be a waste to leave the resources in their hands. I have great plans for this place. It has the potential to become the second base of our group."

"This place. Aren't you choosing too hastily?" Keeper understood the logic behind making Taiwan mountains their base, but even water-mist village is a potential location.

"Crimson Qi is a five-element Qi type which uses all the elements and combines them to form the Qi of Crimson lords. If we want to establish bases, the best location would be those with high elemental affinity. The future members who will be a part of Crimson Lord sect would be allowed to learn the Crimson World scripture, and hence having a base at these type of location is the best."

"Are you thinking of recruiting cultivators into the Crimson World sect?"

"haven't I already started with the last group of bandits?"

"The leader is a suitable candidate, but what about the other people. They are not suitable to be a part of Crimson Lord sect."

"Who said that? I don't care about cultivation talent. That is a thing that could easily be modified and grown based on the hard work one put in their cultivation. I want absolute honesty and dedication to the organisation. If a cultivator can prove on the three grounds, I will recruit him into the Crimson World sect and change his fate."

"Do you know the number of resources which you would require to maintain such a huge force?"

"I know. That is the reason I chose to walk on the path of Dominators. I knew that I wouldn't be able to just collect such a large amount of resources. I need to snatch it from someone else. And that force I am about to build will be the one doing it, with my help."

"But we would need to hire someone who would grow to be the leader of this base. Have someone in your mind for that task?"

"I guess we would need to survey the whole region to find someone. The way we are growing is too slow. Our target for ice and water element would soon lean towards the Frost-leaf sect and the ice valley. They are the forces which I need to eliminate at the end of the day."

"Why not have her become the representative of water element division. She would be perfect for this job. She would put her best foot in since she has to take revenge on her enemies. The frost leaf sect is a power that ranks on the same line as Thunder Academy. As for the ice valley, they are even scarier. I fear it will have Martial Dominators within them. The path ahead is long."

"I will let Menqi break through the Qi King realm first. I want to see how many laws she could connect with." Su Menqi was the best option for the leader of the water division since she possessed the absolute frost body, one of the top ice element body type. But she was still in the middle of comprehending the ice element power which she obtained from the frost spring. The power was too huge for her to digest at once.

"Do you know the time required for her to begin Breakthrough?" Li Meng asked.

"If I have to put a conservative estimate, it would be somewhere around a month later. She has already spent a lot of time digesting the power. He should be coming out of trance any minute. Her breakthrough to Qi King would be very easy if she concentrates on water element laws. There are many hybrid types like ice and mist."

"Do you think she would be able to connect with more than one laws?"

"IF it were before, I would doubt the fact, but now the situation changes drastically. Absolute frost body is too powerful a natural body of ice-type. She shouldn't have a problem connecting with water and ice laws. IF we are to considering anything more than that, it would depend on her comprehension of the water element."

"What about other elements?"

'She did practice other elements within the Qi general period, but I am highly doubtful about her choice. Ideally, she would concentrate on ice and water types laws, as the absolute front body is a pinnacle natural body in that domain. There are no records of the body types restricting one from practising other laws since none of those who had this body tried to do so."

"Even if she does practice other laws, her water-based laws will always remain a step ahead of the others."

"I guess we should leave it on her to decide the outcome." Li Meng began to explore the village. Ideally, he would choose a low-grade power that would have a lot of potentials, capture it and help it grow. But he had enough time to grow his power from the base. This gave him the time to establish a proper force while completing his mission.

He wanted the first line of recruits to be the best of the best in the region. The only way to do so was to filter the whole batch properly. He needs to interact with the cultivators and find the most talented ones.

"We need to go for an adventure around the area. I need to capture some powerful cultivators. Let's go to the nearest merchant guild first." The nearest visible merchant was the Black-pearl association. Li Meng entered the building to find it heavily crowded. The alerting aspect was the fact that the environment was quite grim for somewhere with a huge huge crowd.

Water mist village lived up to its name for being a location of extreme bloodshed. One could easily taste the tension and bloodshed within the air. Li Meng walked up to the nearest counter which had a frail-looking man standing behind.

"I would like to buy some herbs."

The man looked up and saw a fresh face with no sense of tension. The young face hadn't gone through much hardship and had a face feel to it. He could see that there was a newcomer within the water-mist village. He tried to check the cultivation level, but fail to verify it. Much to say, this guy was quite young and wouldn't be too powerful.

"Which herbs are you trying o buy?"

Li meng proceed with handing down the list. " Give me everything available within this list. You should also add 3 extra stalks than the written quantity of whatever is available."

The man looked at the contents, and the shade of his eyes, turned from calmness to shock. Just the mere volume of content shocked him, much less the value of the herbs which were mentioned within them. He then looked at Li Meng with suspicious eyes and said. 

"Follow me."

Li Meng followed him to the inner chambers, where the number of buyers was much less. The man approached one of the people in there and said. " Go inform the manager that a big trade might be on our doorsteps." He gave the list to the man and whispered something in his ears. The man looked at Li Meng before leaving for the inner chamber.

Soon enough, another man appeared beside the man who had left. He was none other than the manager of the floor.

"Are you the guest who is trying to buy these herbs at our guild?"

"Yes."

"I hope you are capable enough of paying the required compensation."

Li meng threw a small pouch at him, which when opened socked the manager. He hurriedly closed the pouch and bowed to Li meng. " I am sorry for my negligence. I would like for you to follow me to the second floor. The materials along with the rest of the catalogue will be presented by you as you enjoy our guild's hospitality."

Li Meng was led to a small dining hall which and soon enough the manager arrived with the requested materials along with some delicacies.

"Sir, the requested herbs are within this ting. There were many which were not present due to the high demand and rarity. I will make sure to inform you as soon as our guild obtains some. Would I be honoured to know sir's name."

"Meng Li."

"Sir, Meng Li. This is the catalogue of everything available in our guild along with some delicacies of our guild. Do enjoy." The manager was about to leave when Li Meng said something.

'I would like to buy information about every single of the missing herbs from you. I would also like to know the details about the whole area, wits topography, the powers residing within it, the general power structure and locations where I could find opportunities."

The manager turned and sat down in the chair in front of Li Meng.
