Chapter 16: 016
"Opportunity?"
"What the commander means is ..."
Su Shi did not reply, but asked rhetorically, "How long have you guys been stuck at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm?"
"Six years."
"Eight years."
"More than seven years so far."
Several people gave their answers.
"That long?"
Su Shi shook his head, "With your talent, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the Realm of Golden Elixir in your lifetime."
Although his words were blunt, it had to be recognized that this was the truth.
They were just ordinary people, without talent or resources, and the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment was the limit of what could be achieved.
As for the Golden Elixir Realm?
One did not even dare to dream of it.
"It is already a great blessing for us fools to be able to qualify to be accepted into this sect, how can we dare to expect more?"
"It is good to be self-aware."
Su Shi smiled, "But what if I say that I can let you break through to the Golden Elixir Realm?"
"What?"
"Golden Elixir Realm? Don't joke about it, Commander."
"How is that possible?"
Some people clearly did not believe it.
Their own situation was clear to themselves, trapped in the Foundation Establishment for so many years, their roots and bones had long since started decaying..
Even if they were given more resources now, their cultivation base would not improve in the slightest.
Su Shi said indifferently, "Do I look like I'm joking? Wu Mang."
"This subordinate is here."
A strong man stepped forward.
This man stood behind several people and was silent without speaking just now.
Su Shi gestured, "Let them take a look."
"Yes."
Wu Mang's eyes changed.
His clothes were tempestuous, and the spiritual energy around him surged as if it were a shocking wave.
Feeling that terrifying aura, the faces of the crowd couldn't help but change.
"Wu Mang, you, you ..."
Wu Mang's voice was low, "Thanks to the commander's help, I have entered the Golden Elixir Realm."
Everyone's eyes were dumbfounded.
Although they couldn't believe it, the Wu Mang before them was indeed really in the Realm of Golden Elixir.
Did Su Shi really have the power to make people break through the realm?
Their breath caught slightly.
If they could step into the Realm of Golden Elixir, not to mention Fengsha City, they would even amount to a powerhouse in the Southwest Region!
If they had the chance to become Demon Generals, then their future would become even more boundless.
But ...
There is no free lunch under the heavens, would Su Shi be so kind?
Su Shi took out five pieces of talisman paper and threw them in front of him.
"Swallow these talismans and you can enter the Golden Elixir Realm, but from now on your life will be in my hands, so you can think about it before you make a decision."
Looking at the dark talisman paper in front of them, the crowd's expressions changed as they quickly thought about the pros and cons.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
Su Shi was not in a hurry either, his fingers gently tapping on the table.
Each tap seemed to ring in people's hearts.
At this moment, Wu Mang spoke, "In this chaotic world, it is even difficult for people in the Realm Foundation Establishment to protect themselves, so one day you might die on the streets. Why not seize the opportunity to change your fate and follow Commander Su to achieve some hegemony?"
"You already have nothing, what else is there to doubt?"
"Damn it, I accept."
One of them grabbed the talisman paper, put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
In the next instant, his aura skyrocketed.
The remaining few people also pressed and swallowed the talisman paper.
Boom!
The wind whistled and spiritual energy stirred.
In an instant, the five of them had entered the Golden Elixir Realm!
"Is this the power of the Realm of Golden Elixir?"
Feeling the unprecedented power within their bodies, those people looked extremely excited.
This feeling was too wonderful.
Poof.
Wu Mang knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice, "I am willing to follow Commander Su to the death."
The remaining five people reacted and knelt down, their eyes amazed and excited.
"We swear to follow Commander Su to the death."
Su Shi nodded in satisfaction.
These people were carefully selected by him.
Their foundations were extremely clean, and most importantly, they were not tied to anything or anyone.
"The five of you will take the name 'Shadow', with serial numbers from one to five, you will all be under Wu Mang's command."
He couldn't remember everyone's names.
"Thank you, Commander."
The five people bowed their heads.
Su Shi waved his hand, "Wu Mang stays behind, the others may leave."
"Yes."
The five people bowed and retreated.
After they went out, Su Shi said, "The position of deputy commander, for now, will be yours."
"Yes."
Wu Mang did not refuse either.
Su Shi asked again, "What is the situation in the sect?"
Wu Mang replied, "Reporting to the commander! The sect envoy has already arrived in the Southwest Region, and if we calculate the time, he will soon arrive in Fengsha City."
"Good."
Su Shi stood up, "Let's go, follow me to greet the envoy."
His expression was calm, with a cold light flashing under his eyes.
________
Demon Palace.
In the center of the hall, the black-clothed envoy sat down hard in the top seat, "Where is Commander Shi, why doesn't he come to see me?"
The Demon Sect disciples below bowed their heads in silence.
Seeing this, the black-clothed envoy's brows furrowed and he slapped the table hard.
"I ask you, are you all mute?"
The crowd remained silent.
It was as if they had collectively gone deaf.
"Sassy!"
Just as he was about to attack, a faint voice rang out.
"I didn't know the messenger have arrived, so I apologize for not welcoming you, I hope you don't mind."
"Hm?"
The envoy in black looked up.
Only to see a sturdy figure walking slowly in.
The crowd, which had previously remained silent, moved in response and fell to the ground on one knee, saying in unison, "Greetings, Commander Su!"
Seeing that fair and handsome face, the black-clothed envoy's eyebrows couldn't help but jump!
"Su Shi?"
This guy isn't dead yet?
Su Shi walked towards him.
Standing straight and smiling brightly.
"Excuse me, please, you are sitting in my seat."
