Chapter 3605 The Gu Raising Plan
Wu Feiyan knew very well that the Wu family members all had their own selfish motives.
The Wu family was divided into five branches, each in charge of one of the Five Military Commands—a structure Wu Feiyan herself had established. This was like five feudal lords; although all were subjects of the emperor, they certainly wouldn't place the emperor's orders above their own personal interests.
Therefore, the Five Military Commands might not truly be searching for Lin Wan'er with all their might.
For the Five Military Commands, they genuinely didn't care much about Lin Wan'er's whereabouts or whether she was alive or dead.
Despite being Wu Feiyan's descendants and relying on her for everything, they knew very well that their current good life was built on the foundation of the Five Military Commands.
As long as the Five Military Commands existed, even if Wu Feiyan died, the Wu family could still live a life of luxury.
In comparison, Wu Feiyan's life posed a greater threat to the Wu family, because she acted without regard for cost or consequences, and the Wu family could easily be swayed by her will.
Lin Wan'er's concern was for Wu Feiyan's life or death, but if Wu Feiyan died, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Wu family.
If there was no emperor above the Five Military Commands, then each of the Grand Commanders of the Five Military Commands would be an emperor.
Wu Feiyan understood this principle as well. Didn't the Wu family not care so much about her life or death?
Fine, then let these family heads taste what it's like to live forever.
Wu Tianlin also knew Wu Feiyan's intention, so he respectfully said, "This subordinate will convey the Emperor's edict to the five Grand Commanders."
Wu Feiyan frowned slightly and said, "Notify the three elders that I have something to instruct them."
Wu Tianlin was surprised, but dared not ask any questions, and immediately said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, this subordinate will go and inform the three elders."
More than ten minutes later, three elderly men, nearly two hundred years old, arrived together outside Wu Feiyan's palace.
The head elder, Wu Bolin, respectfully said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates Bolin, Bowen, and Bozhong request an audience."
"Come in," Wu Feiyan said calmly.
The three immediately pushed open the door and entered, approaching Wu Feiyan with unhurried steps, bowing respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Wu Feiyan nodded slightly and said, "I summoned the three elders here today because there are a few matters I wish to discuss with you."
Wu Bolin immediately replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give your orders!"
Wu Feiyan glanced at the three in turn and said, "I have already had Tianlin issue the order: whoever captures Lin Wan'er in the entire Po Qing Society will be rewarded with countless gold and silver, and their entire family will be granted a hundred years of lifespan. However, given your current strength, unless you find the Eternal Green Pill or help you open your Niwan Palace, I, Wu Feiyan, am unable to grant you a hundred years of lifespan. Therefore, you three elders need not trouble yourselves with this matter."
The three exchanged glances, unsure of Wu Feiyan's meaning.
If she didn't want them to worry about it, then why had she summoned them to discuss these matters in the first place?
Moreover, when it came to opening their Niwan Palaces, the three of them harbored some resentment. After all, they had been in seclusion for a century, and if they had just gritted their teeth and persevered for another ten years or so, they might have opened their Niwan Palaces one after another. Once their Niwan Palaces were opened, their lifespans would exceed two hundred years, or even more than two hundred years.
But all of this was interrupted by Wu Feiyan. Once that momentum was broken, it wouldn't be a matter of ten years or so to catch up; wasting another ten or twenty years would be commonplace.
Wu Bolin reacted faster. He didn't dare to think too much about it. He simply stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and cupped his hands, saying, "Your subordinates have always served Your Majesty without seeking any reward. With just a word from Your Majesty, the three of us would go through fire and water without hesitation. How could we care about any gains or losses? We humbly request Your Majesty to order that the three of us be allowed to leave the island to search for Lin Wan'er's whereabouts!"
The other two suddenly realized.
It seemed their long periods of seclusion had dulled their wits. If they hadn't spoken up or refused when their boss told them she couldn't offer a satisfactory price, they might have offended her.
The correct approach was to flatter her and immediately declare that they worked for her without expecting money, and would do the job without any discounts.
So, they quickly echoed, "We are only willing to serve you, Your Majesty, without regard for personal gain. We beg Your Majesty to allow us to leave the island!"
Wu Feiyan gave a light snort, nodding with a half-smile, and said, "Your intentions are enough. Catching that little fox, Lin Wan'er, requires skill, not brute force. Sending you is a waste of your talents."
Wu Bolin, quick-witted, immediately guessed that Wu Feiyan had other instructions for the three.
So he immediately asked respectfully, "I wonder if there is anything else we can do to help our wise ruler?"
Wu Feiyan went along with it, saying, "Over the years, the amount of spirit stones and pills consumed in cultivation has been enormous, and the loss of rare and precious materials is a bottomless pit. I want to seize the time to collect some essential materials to prepare for future needs. However, many materials are not available to ordinary people, so I hope the three elders can go out and travel to see if they can find anything. If you find spirit stones, I will not interfere in principle. If you find magic weapons, you can keep them yourself. However, those rare alchemy materials are of no use to you. Bring them back to me, and after I refine them into pills, I can give you three 50%."
There are many treasures in this world that are difficult for those who do not have the cultivation level to obtain, especially those rare and exotic beasts that ordinary people have never been to or seen. If one encounters an ancient formation left behind by a cultivator before his death, breaking it might bring a great opportunity.
However, Wu Feiyan was inherently suspicious, and given the immense power and influence of the Po Qing Society, she dared not venture out alone to seek opportunities. Therefore, she planned to send the three elders out to find those opportunities in her stead.
She didn't care much for magical artifacts or spirit stones; what she truly cared about were the formulas and raw materials for high-grade pills.
She had never taught anyone in the Wu family alchemy, so even if the three elders obtained the formulas and materials, they wouldn't be able to refine them. Therefore, as long as they could find these and bring them back, she could refine a large quantity of pills.
She knew that if she didn't obtain the Hundred Turns Thousand Reversals Pill soon, she would inevitably go mad for the next hundred years. She needed to make the Wu family descendants go mad with her; otherwise, the Po Qing Society would become estranged from her.
Making the Wu family go mad wasn't difficult; they already had money and status. What she could control was their lifespan.
If there were a large quantity of elixirs, the current leadership of the Wu family could be prevented from changing, thus ensuring their unwavering loyalty and allowing them to enjoy decades more of power and peak life. They would undoubtedly become endlessly addicted.
This is a decades-long plan to nurture a corrupt and powerful force. Decades later, when the leaders of the Wu family in the Five Armies Commandery are all over a hundred years old, their dependence on him will only increase, because if anything happens to him, or if he cuts off their elixirs, they will surely die.
In this way, they will face the same predicament as him.
If he cannot survive, he will turn the world upside down.
If they cannot survive, they will certainly be willing to follow him into utter madness!
