For the next week, Sam started copying the information in the books and scrolls.
He is taking all the basic knowledge that could be found in the divine dimension"s library and started copying it in the books. In fact, even his friends are doing it.
No one can get inside the divine dimension, so the four of them are the only ones who can do this task.
All they did was get the information from the divine wills and copy each and every word in the books. They stayed in the tower and just put all their effort into the task.
Seven days outside means, seventy days inside the tower. There is no way they wouldn"t feel exhausted and irritated.
But they have to do it. These books are necessary for the next project. The construction in the woods is finished after this week and Sam and others only came after that day.
After coming out, Sam went back to the Tempest valley to bring back Arc.
Arc is in the peak stage of Transcendent realm. Even though, the growth is fast, it is because of Arc"s reckless and relentless acc.u.mulation for years at the same time it is the grace period of the boost given by the Old beast.
After a few months, his speed will be back to normal.
He brought him back because of some reasons and asked him to come back to the Sam"s city in another week along with the Dukes and Marquises and other high- level officials of the empire.
For the next week, Sam is extremely busy. He has to make the finishing touches of the construction, so that all the formations hidden in the construction structure of the buildings will be activated and ready to be used.
This is the same trick he used in the city plans and the park plans.
He has to place some energy cells in certain hidden places of the city to create a chain reaction of the activation of the complex formations.
Within the construction, the largest formation is made up of some smaller formations as its nodes. This is the technique Sam is using to place the formations far beyond his cultivation level and is succeeding at activating them.
As for replacing the energy cells, they don"t actually act as the main supply, they are just catalysts which makes them almost inexhaustible.
There is no reason for them to change in the near future. So, Sam would be able find a candidate trustworthy enough to change them and take the responsibility.
After placing them, he called for the Architect Austin and gave him the tons of books he and the other three copied. There are many rune marks on the covers of the books, which will not let them be stored inside the spatial ring. Only Sam can store them in the divine dimension.
Apart from that, Sam planned to infuse the books with spirits if this plan doesn"t work out.
Within the new compound that is constructed. There is a building which was especially built for these things. The library.
The books are arranged in the library. The books are placed in an order of their value and importance.
On the top floors, the books belong to the cultivation techniques, the recipes of pills, the blue prints and designs of some inscriptions and formations, some potion recipes etc.
Even though, these are valuable, they only belong to the tip of the iceberg of the total knowledge that is stored in the divine dimension.
He only copied around ten percent of the total knowledge of the library.
A part from that there are three more buildings in the compound, all of them are large and had s.p.a.cious rooms and one of them is the dormitories for the orphan kids that came.
The newly recruited chefs are placed in that dormitory to provide the three meals for them.
Inside the compound, there is another place which is the farm. This farm consists of the animals which are raised for the purpose of the food.
Apart from that there is another small compound near this larger compound. Even though it is smaller, it is only when it was compared to the larger compound. It is larger than four parks combined.
The compound was not completely emptied out. The woods are still kept intact and the only thing that changed the environment inside is the lack of beasts.
It was left open and there is even a lake that was artificially made.
After checking the construction and arranging everything regarding it, he went back to the tower and called for all the Nascent stage cultivators who they recruited. He only called the people who joined the organization with only their battle prowess as their expertise. They don"t have any form of other skills.
They are more than hundred of them who joined the organization. Actually, nascent stage cultivators are not dime a dozen, but all of these people came and some of them are even people who are in high positions in some families.
But they still wanted to take the opportunity, because they couldn"t see any growth when they are in the families.
A hundred nascent stage cultivators, included, former military generals, city guard, war slaves who belonged to the former Orion and mostly stray cultivators.
Sam a.s.sembled them together today to make sure that they put their battle prowess and intelligence to their best use.
He stood on the stage and addressed them.
"Today, I gathered you guys, here because of the first a.s.signment I am going to a.s.sign you.
But before that let us get your salary straight.
Everyone of you will receive five hundred thousand spirit stones for a month."
When Sam said this, they gasped in surprise. Five hundred thousand is a huge amount after all. But for Sam, it is peanuts. His weekly turnover is in billions of spirit stones. He doesn"t have to worry about wasting them all, in fact he has nowhere to spend.
"But to earn that five hundred thousand, you will have to work your a.s.s off.
The first a.s.signment you guys have is to go to the neighbouring empire of us. The one which was also under the thunder G.o.d temple.
There are two empires and we are going to target the nearest one which is towards our northeast.
All hundred of you will arrive in that empire and your job is to disperse yourselves. You will be divided in teams of five. Each team will go to a city of their choice and establish a mercenary guild.
Each team will get a chance to pick three subordinate teams of Grand realm cultivators, Great realm cultivators and Novice stage cultivators.
You can choose any of the new recruits or even some from the Sam"s battalion. But there are age limits.
You guys have to choose the Grand realm cultivators who are already forty years of age or older, Great realm with thirty- five or older and Novice stage cultivators with thirty years of age or older.
As for the people below that age, I have other plans for them.
You will be given the best of the best weapons that are crafted by the best weapon makers of the organization, your own bee puppets, the initial working capital and other hunting gadgets that are created within the organization.
You are not to sell any of them. All you can sell is your services to them. You don"t reveal your ident.i.ties to anyone and you wouldn"t let your own devices get stolen.
Your task is to set that mercenary team and start gaining the influence. Within the city you are in you have to gain the influence second only to the government, in fact it would be better if you have more influence than the government,
All this while, you will try to recruit some new members. But do remember that I don"t need junk. I want the best fighters you can possibly find.
As for the revenue you can get, only thirty percent of that is mine and the rest of seventy percent is yours and you can distribute to your own team in your own way.
There should be no corruption or any other petty things going on.
I am giving you a year. And after that year, your team leaders will come and report to me in the same place and I will check all your achievements.
Any form of bonuses like finding live beast cubs for the organization, new materials, new recruits, high revenue, any form of benefit you obtain, you will get a bonus from me.
The bonus you never imagine, it could be a medicine which will help your breakthrough. Or a new cultivation technique to improve your cultivation or a top- cla.s.s battle technique, or a weapon that you could only dream of, a beast companion that could be your life time partner in your thick and thin. I can give you everything and anything that you could only imagine in your dreams.
So, who wants to be the leader of a team?"
