Zhang Yuan's

The Task of the Elders

Days passed and it did not feel like two months had Zhang Yuan been in his room to create a soul puppet. Every day, thunderous sounds continued to be heard from within the pavilion. Everyone inside the valley could only guess about what had really happened.

Currently inside the pavilion, the sound of the door opening sounded. It was the door of the room where Zhang Yuan did the making of the soul puppet. From inside the room, came out the figure of a young man who was none other than Zhang Yuan.

“Master Zhang, has the process of making a soul doll been completed?” asked Elder Ming who was currently standing in front of the door where Zhang Yuan came out.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said “Of course, I have extracted dozens of souls and dozens of bodies that we prepared, look at yourself.”

Zhang Yuan's hand was as if giving a code to someone. It turned out from inside the room came 40 men of large stature. Elder Ming was slightly surprised when he saw all of them. Of those 40 people, 5 were in the Spiritual realm and the rest were at the peak of the Soul Refining realm.

“Master Zhang, why are there only 5 people in the Spiritual realm? is not the body we prepare it is a quality body.” Elder Ming said as he looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan sighed and said with a slightly disappointed expression “I don't know either, but this is enough.”

Elder Ming then nodded and said “So, are we going back now?”

“Yes, let's go back to Zhang Palace. There are many things we have to do.” Zhang Yuan said as he stepped away.

Elder Ming and 40 others followed Zhang Yuan to go towards Zhang Palace. Arriving there, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered commander Liu to gather all the elders in the main hall, except for the medicinal elder who was indeed busy with his medicinal ingredients. After everything had gathered, Zhang Yuan was about to start a discussion but then his eyes were fixed on the female elders.

“Eh..? I was once confused as to who the beautiful women who entered the family hall were. But after I looked closely, it turned out that it was you elders.” Zhang Yuan said with a slightly enchanted face.

All the female elders laughed and said “Thanks to our increased cultivation from the resources you bring, our vitality also increased and finally we were able to regain the body we had been craving for. This is the original form of us when we were young, are we not very beautiful sir?”

Now everyone in the hall could see the changes from elder Xia, elder Ning and elder Wumei. Their vitality which had increased due to high cultivation levels made their bodies return young like a 25 to 30 year old woman. Even Zhang Yuan's wives felt a little envious of the bodies of those beautiful, beautiful and dazzling elders as well. If it wasn't for getting to know him, maybe someone else who had just met them would have thought that they were indeed young.

Zhang Yuan laughed and said “It's a good thing I already know your real age. If not, maybe I'll try to ask you guys.”

“Cih, although their stature looks young. But their porous bones will not be able to cover up the fact.” Commander Liu's lips.

“Old fart! watch your talk.” Elder Ning said furiously.

Now everyone laughed with a joke for a moment. Then Zhang Yuan again said “With the increase of our strength, I plan to expand my area of power.”

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words just now made everyone's hearts seem trembling. Indeed, all this time they had expected it, but who would have thought that the anticipated day had arrived.

Commander Liu immediately said “I agree with your words just now sir.”

The other elders also agreed to Zhang Yuan's words just now. Then Zhang Yuan said again “Good! It means you guys already suspected this.”

“So, how do you expand your current power?” ask the Daisan elder.

Zhang Yuan still remained silent and turned his head to look at elder Xia. The conscious elder Xia then said “A short week from here, there is a small town called Xiyang City. It was a 3rd class city that had a population of around 300 thousand inhabitants. The city is also not an affiliate of any noble family, so the city should be suitable for us to rule.”

“As far as I know, there is only a qualified City King family. Even they did not have any experts in the Spiritual Realm. Not to mention the economic level there is very low. Many people are starving and caused by disease, it makes the nobles reluctant to manage it.” Answer elder Xia.

“Then wouldn't it be dangerous if we entered the city?” sahut elder Daisan.

“Interests at risk, but we deserve to try it.” Elder Xia said confidently.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said casually “I received a proposal from elder Xia, the matter of illness that is there we will deal with later. Then I will entrust the expansion of the power of Zhang Palace in Xiyang City to elder Xia and elder Ning. Bring them to help with your business.”

Then the 40 people who had been waiting outside the hall immediately entered. The elders inside the hall looked dumbfounded and were extremely shocked.

“Master Zhang, who are they?” said elder Daisan with a astonished face.

“They are new members of Zhang Palace. Even though they are weaker than you guys but to the people in Xiyang City, they are true experts. Bring a lot of resources and other needs that you really need.” Zhang Yuan said as he looked at elder Xia.

“Good Mr. Zhang, leave this matter to both of us.” Sahut elder Xia and elder Ning.

Then Zhang Yuan looked at the Daisan elder and said “Old Daisan, I have a task for you.”

“Tell me sir.” Said the Daisan elder firmly.

“Bring this to the Purple Lake residence and give it to brother Guan Ji. Tell him that this is my thank you gift for guarding Zhang Palace during my departure.” Zhang Yuan said as he threw his storage space ring.

Elder Daisan immediately caught the ring and said “What gift are you preparing in here sir?”

Zhang Yuan said casually “Only a few medicinal ingredients I obtained during the trip. I will also assign the three Long brothers to accompany you on the journey. They are still weak, so they need a lot of experience. Introduce and teach them things about the outside world.”

“Okay Mr. Zhang, you can entrust this matter to me. I'll make sure to get there as soon as possible and get back here.” Said elder Daisan while bowing.

“Mr Zhang, then what will you assign me?” ask elder Wumei.

Zhang Yuan sighed and waved his hand “I will not assign you to leave as well, as I need you to take care of the internal matters of Zhang Palace.”

“Oh alright sir.” Elder Wumei's response.

“Then you can disperse and immediately go carry out the task from me.” Zhang Yuan's orders to everyone.

“Good master Zhang!” sahut all the elders who then left from the main hall.

Now only Zhang Yuan, commander Liu as well as elder Jin and elder Ming remained inside the main hall.
