Chapter 2143: Risk Worth Taking
What does a big clan need to develop? There are plenty of answers, but one tops them all. And that was talent.
No mistake, a big clan needs talent! Any group attached great importance to obtaining talent. Countless trials proved that as long as there was talent in a group, they were likely to become the winner in the end. Talent was always better than having one or two gold mines.
In Long Tian’s eyes, Zhao Hai was a valuable talent. He now has a very good understanding of Zhao Hai’s situation. To be honest, the more he understood about Zhao Hai, the more Long Tian became convinced that he needed to recruit him.
Zhao Hai’s experiences could be said to be legendary. He wasn’t a native of the True Spirit Realm but was an ascendant from the lower realms. Then he directly joined the Tyrant Blade Sect as an inner disciple. Most importantly, Zhao Hai destroyed an entire realm while he was in the Soaring Dragon Realm.
That was an entire realm. He didn’t even leave a single living witness. Then he piled their corpses in the Soaring Dragon Realm to show everyone.
Ever since he saw Zhao Hai instructing the children how to use their breath to practice, Long Tian recognized that Zhao Hai was a talent. This became more apparent when he found out that Zhao Hai could make pills and refine artifacts.
Long Tian knows that it hasn’t been long since Zhao Hai ascended to the True Spirit Realm. And yet Zhao Hai was already in the Soul Fusion Stage. Such cultivation speed wasn’t rare in the True Spirit Realm. But Long Tian has to admit that Zhao Hai was a genius.
A versatile genius. If Long Tian couldn’t snatch Zhao Hai from the Tyrant Blade Sect, then he wouldn’t be worthy of being called the number 2 character in the Long Clan.
As for Zhao Hai’s low strength, Long Tian wasn’t worried about it. With the talent shown by Zhao Hai, as long as he was given time, his achievements would be immeasurable. novelB1n
There were plenty of methods to win a talent over. The most inferior method was winning them over with material things. This was also the most unreliable method. Naturally, it was also the simplest and quickest method.
Long Tian wasn’t willing to use this method. He needed Zhao Hai to have a sense of belonging to the Long Clan. Zhao Hai needs to treat the Long Clan as his people. How do you make someone treat a foreign group as their own family? There were a lot of methods. What Long Tian was using right now was the slowest but most effective method. And that was to give Zhao Hai the privilege to learn the martial arts of the Long Clan.
Hearing Zhao Hai, Chen Feng couldn’t help but stare. Then his expression couldn’t help but change. He looked at Zhao Hai and stuttered, “Th-that old gentleman was Long Tian?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “He’s Long Tian. What’s wrong?”
Chen Feng was somewhat speechless, “What’s wrong? Brother Zhao, I really don’t know what to say to you. Forget it, you just joined the Long Clan. You’re still not aware of the clan’s matters. The Long Clan is governed by the Clan Head alone. Although there are elders, none of them dared to disobey the words of the Clan Head. This isn’t only because of the Clan Head’s strength, the Clan Head also has a huge supporter behind his back. This huge supporter was seen as one of the most powerful people in the clan. This person is the younger brother of the Clan Head, Long Tian. Despite the power in his hand, Long Tian didn’t hold any official position of power. He preferred to train the disciples of the Long Clan. He also discovers and recommends talents for the Long Clan.”
Zhao Hai nodded. From the moment he saw Long Tian, Zhao Hai immediately knew what he was doing. If Long Tian wasn’t who he was, then it would be impossible for him to notice Zhao Hai.
Chen Feng looked at Zhao Hai and then continued, “There’s a saying in the clan that says you only see the Clan Head once a year, and he might not remember you. But even if you only see Long Tian once in five years, as long as he remembers you, your status will soar. From this, you could see Long Tian’s status in the Long Clan. Plenty of powerful figures in the clan were recommended by Long Tian to the Clan Head. It can be said that although Long Tian doesn’t hold a position in the clan, he was one of the most influential people in the clan. There are too many people high up in the clan who owe him a favor.”
Zhao Hai stared, he didn’t expect the old man to have this status. No wonder he dared to neglect the Clan Head’s summons.
As he looked at Zhao Hai, Chen Feng couldn’t help but be envious, “Now that you’ve been noticed by Elder Long Tian, it would be difficult for you to be ignored in the Long Clan. You will have a lot of opportunities later on. I’ll have to depend on you.”
Hearing Chen Feng, Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “If I can. You don’t know this, but Elder Long Tian invited me to teach the children of the clan. This is a position with no power. I don’t know how I can help you.”
Chen Feng’s eyes shone when he heard this, “Brother Zhao, are you really going to teach the children of the Long Clan? That’s a good thing!”
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. He didn’t even mention his privilege of being able to scan through the manuals of the Long Clan. But Long Tian already thought that his position was good.
Seeing Zhao Hai’s confused expression, Chen Feng smiled faintly and said, “The children you teach will be the future of the Long Clan. When they grow up, they will hold positions within the clan. With you being their teacher, how could your status be low then? You can use these connections to build a clan for yourself. With the support of the Long Clan, wouldn’t it be simple for your clan to develop?”
Zhao Hai stared, he didn’t expect Chen Feng to mention this. But there was nothing wrong with what Chen Feng said. If Zhao Hai taught the children of the Long Clan, then once they reach a high position, they wouldn’t forget who was their teacher. When the time comes, his status in the clan would rise.
But to be honest, Zhao Hai didn’t care about these things. What he cared about was his own strength. However, the situation with the Long Clan was quite special. Zhao Hai still doesn’t know the extent of the Long Clan’s powers. And looking at the reaction of the Yin Yang Elders, the Long Clan should be very strong. But why would such a family remain unheard of? Even when he asked the Yin Yang Elders, they didn’t want to tell him. This caused Zhao Hai to be confused.
Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to have more understanding of the Long Clan. He wanted to know what kind of existence the Long Clan is and why the Yin Yang Elders cared so much about it.
