When this thing is completely exhausted, Junior Brother can strike, and we can take it down with ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Hong Zun’s persuasion, Lin Potian slowly calmed down, though his expression was somewhat peculiar as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, Master once taught us that as disciples of the Dao One Sect, we should always press forward...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And didn't Master also say that if you can use underhanded tactics, you should never do it openly? Why don't you mention that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Zun curled his lip, speechless, then looked at the surrounding disciples and straightened his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, given the choice, I would rather exhaust any amount of talismans and array discs than use the lives of my disciples to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken, Lin Potian was instantly filled with respect and nodded heavily toward Hong Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn't know that the sect’s recent expenses were massive, and over ninety percent of them were spent on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with the battles involving the disciples of the Divine Sword Peak and others, the sect kept records; the consumption of talismans, array discs, and elixirs was exactly ten times what it had been before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also because Qi Xiong and the others hadn't returned to the sect yet, so this matter hadn't been dealt with, and Wu Shou was having a massive headache over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he looked at the requests for talismans and array discs sent back by Hong Zun, he felt like his head was going to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In truth, it wasn't just Hong Zun who thought this way; the Dao One Sect had always upheld the philosophy that human life was paramount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it simply, if a problem could be solved with money, they would absolutely never use human lives to fill the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other sects that would resort to human-wave tactics at the drop of a hat, never taking their disciples' lives seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in the Dao One Sect having fewer disciples, but their consumption of resources was terrifyingly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Hong Zun and the others recently, they had merely multiplied that figure by ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also because the Dao One Sect had a vast foundation, and with the successive submission of the Putuo Temple, the Azure Cloud Sect, and the Ghost Valley, they had acquired quite a bit of territory and resources, which allowed them to sustain this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any other sect, such massive consumption would likely have caused them to collapse long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were speaking, Long Zhantian and the other aquatic demon kings were already on the verge of collapse; there was no helping it, the number of talismans and array discs was simply too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, did Qi Xiong and the others move the entire Dao One Sect treasury here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the battle-hardened Long Zhantian, it wasn't as if he hadn't encountered traps before, but who the hell did things like the Dao One Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was literally traps upon traps, talismans piled upon talismans, and array discs stacked upon array discs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did these things not cost money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Areas that had clearly already triggered traps, which logically should have been safe, would trigger yet another trap the very next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the same area, the most insane spots actually had ten layers of traps stacked on top of each other, and who the hell knew if there were more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation of the aquatic race could be described in four words: trembling with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the slightest sign of movement, they would become incredibly tense, feeling as if there were traps everywhere they looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Zhantian roared in anger, but from start to finish, not a single person from the Dao One Sect appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples lying in ambush all around were now leisurely cracking melon seeds, watching the scene with relaxed expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, we're in the middle of a war; isn't this a bit inappropriate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, disciples from the Tyrant Spear Peak and others nearby spoke up in a low voice to persuade them. Upon hearing this, the Divine Sword Peak disciples replied as if it were a common occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the panic? The traps haven't even finished triggering yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if we strike now, we could save some talismans and array discs; the aquatic race is already in total disarray.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tyrant Spear Peak disciple's mindset hadn't shifted yet. Seeing this, the Divine Sword Peak disciple turned to look at him with an earnest expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many spirit stones do you get each month?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One... one thousand, I guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outer sect disciples all received one thousand spirit stones. Hearing this, the Divine Sword Peak disciple curled his lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. It's only one thousand spirit stones a month, so why are you risking your life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me ask you again: what is the primary condition for a cultivator to become a powerhouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bone structure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comprehension?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's staying alive. If you're dead, no matter how high your talent or how strong your bones are, what's the use?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That actually made some sense. Seeing a glimmer of realization in the eyes of the Tyrant Spear Peak junior brother, the Divine Sword Peak disciple smiled slightly and said no more; the rest would depend on his own enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, every sect had a different understanding of the relationship between resources and disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sects felt that resources were important, and as for disciples, if they died, they could just recruit more. As long as there were resources, why fear a lack of disciples?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, many sects in Dongzhou, although their strength was far inferior to the Dao One Sect, all claimed to have millions of disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once war broke out, most of these disciples were just cannon fodder, and they wouldn't receive many resources in daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao One Sect was the exact opposite; their requirements for recruiting disciples were extremely strict, which resulted in them having fewer than five hundred thousand disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that with the Dao One Sect's strength and prestige, recruiting disciples would be incredibly simple; if they relaxed their requirements even slightly, the number of disciples could easily multiply several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because any talented person in Dongzhou would want to join the Dao One Sect first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, all along, the Dao One Sect had never done so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of disciples was small, but every single one received the sect's careful cultivation. Moreover, even when encountering war, the Dao One Sect never thought of using disciples as cannon fodder, not even the chore disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between resources and disciples, the Dao One Sect had always chosen the disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for resources, according to the words of Qi Xiong and their Master, if you don't have enough, just go rob someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, there are so many demon beasts and evil spirits in Dongzhou, what are they there for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be good to your own people and ruthless to outsiders; take care of your own first, then consider the world at large—this was what Qi Xiong and their Master had once said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't be like some sects that are hateful to their own people but act like saints to outsiders just to gain fame; what is the point of that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the same for a sect as it is for a person; if you act like a tyrant at home but can't even let out a fart when you go outside, what is the point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosions of talismans and arrays lasted for nearly two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the aquatic race had completely lost all ability to resist, Qi Xiong finally appeared and gave an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tie them up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, from all directions, numerous Dao One Sect disciples swarmed forward and instantly subdued these aquatic creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Zhantian and the other aquatic demon kings still wanted to resist, but Hong Zun and the others wouldn't give them the chance; they rushed up and subdued these few demon kings in a few quick moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end of the battle was swift; after all, having endured two hours of torture, the aquatic race was not only severely injured, but their will to fight had long since vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subdued by the combined efforts of Hong Zun and Lin Potian, Long Zhantian roared with unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Despicable! Lin Potian, do you dare to fight me fairly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight your mother! This is a war between two races; do you think this is a duel in the mortal world, fighting fairly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Potian could even reply, Hong Zun slapped him across the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You idiot, you are the demon race, we are the human race; a war between two races, and you want fairness? Why don't you set up a ring? Do you think this is a sect sparring match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head was buzzing, but Long Zhantian still turned to glare at Hong Zun. At this moment, Qi Xiong and the others also walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Long Zhantian, Shi Song, who was nearby, spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Escort them back to the offshore camp?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect Master, wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jie and a few others happened to walk over at this time, and Xu Jie spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qi Xiong turned to look at Xu Jie, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it? Do you have another idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Xiong had a good impression of Xu Jie; the little guy had a sharp mind and was a good seedling for his Dao One Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Qi Xiong's inquiry, Xu Jie showed a humble smile and then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple does indeed have an immature idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak freely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1628,"2026-06-17T05:17:48.312Z","2026-06-17T05:18:21.634Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","54c021c604f8589c12d91b95d078c676c8126a30c7125499d5247039abd7c9c6","i-am-the-god-of-cookery-the-whole-sect-is-drooli-chapter-514","i-am-the-god-of-cookery-the-whole-sect-is-drooli-chapter-512",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-god-of-cooking-and-the-entire-sect-is-c-cover.jpg"]
