Chapter 704: The Necessary Cruelty
There was only one golden core cultivator in the Feng Family, and their "golden core ancestor" was still at the initial stage.
In the vast Central Domain, this could only be considered a minor force.
However, being weak had its advantages; Liu Yu could easily manipulate a cultivation family of this level.
Moreover, they were currently in a difficult situation due to the oppression from Qian Court. The family was filled with grievances, and their discontent with Qian Court had grown significantly.
At this moment, the Purple Scarf Army had extended an olive branch, and the possibility of successfully bringing the Feng Family into their fold was quite high, making it worth a try.
If they could pull the "Feng Family" over, not only would their goal of adding five golden core cultivators be one-fifth completed, but the progress of the five thousand peripheral members could also advance significantly.
The benefits of success were already compelling enough to move Liu Yu.
Although the initial stage golden core realm was insignificant to him, among the countless cultivators in the Central Domain, it could barely be considered a unique existence.
Furthermore, due to the need to meet various conditions for the Purple Scarf Army to consider collaborating, the number of targets was not as plentiful as one might imagine.
In order to complete the task and leave as quickly as possible, Liu Yu did not intend to miss any opportunity.
"Agreed."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yu slowly nodded and spoke succinctly.
"Understood!"
"Dare I ask, when can we take action?"
"The fellow cultivators we dispatched are already very familiar with the Feng Family. Everything is prepared, and they can lead the way at any time."
Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Tian Xiaoyu's light green pupils clearly flashed with a hint of joy. She perked up and immediately asked for further instructions.
The matter of bringing the Feng Family into their fold could be said to have been planned entirely by her. If she could ultimately succeed, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.
That would prove her capability, and perhaps she could gain the "favor" of the helm master, bringing her one step closer to obtaining the "Golden Core Pill."
"Night is long, and dreams are many. Since the preliminary work has been prepared, the sooner we act, the better."
Gently tapping his fingers on the table, Liu Yu answered without hesitation.
Perhaps having seen too many cases where delays caused unexpected events, whenever he felt he had enough confidence, he tended to act immediately.
"However, this is the first time the branch is attempting contact with a golden core family. It’s best to be a bit cautious."
"Let’s call on Daoist Guo; I’ll go together with him."
Before getting up, he thought for a moment and decided to invite Guo Poyun along.
In terms of how to persuade cultivators to join, Guo Poyun was quite experienced, and Liu Yu had a deep appreciation for this.
His cultivation strength was not weak, and his ability to persuade people was particularly skilled; in this area, Liu Yu felt inferior.
Therefore, it would be better to leave the task of persuading the family’s ancestor to him.
Having cultivated to the golden core realm, each golden core cultivator is truly “extraordinary,” both in physical and Primordial Spirit aspects, and every one of them is sharp-minded.
Liu Yu could persuade them, but since Guo Poyun was experienced in this aspect, he planned to provide support outside the Feng Family.
If it worked out, he would naturally appear to welcome the new members.
If it did not work, then he would have to make decisions accordingly. Liu Yu immediately took out the Messaging Jade Token to send a message to Guo Poyun and then quietly waited for him to arrive.
While waiting, he had Tian Xiaoyu continue discussing to gather detailed information about the Feng Family, making ample preparations for the trip.
