Chapter 54 Management Problems (1/2)

Chapter 54 Manageed to assemble a small army of spiritual cultivators

Their job was an easy one They needed to follow Daniel into the crack he would create in the water, and create a tunnel h for a sh

The rest of the cultivators who had been granted passage, would stay on the shore, and guard the construction of the tunnel froe had been refused

For as simple as the idea was, there were a few problems

For example, more cultivators had started to approach the lake since Daniel had come up with the plan Secondly, these cultivators would tend to join the group of refused cultivators, unless granted passage

Daniel only had one choice to solve this problem, and that was to leave soe in exchange of tolls to the newcomers

Unable to personally presentiate to the selection between those who couldn't pay, Daniel had thought of the perfect person for the job That person, was Ligart

Since Daniel had met him, he had noticed that this martial cultivator didn't have the most attentive eye for details But what he had instead, was an extraordinary ability to distinguish between people of good morale, and not

Proof of this, were the 6 people aroup

These people were those who had forart and Hei their traverse to the island, and to Daniel's surprise, they were all people with good karart and the rest on shore, so that they could collect tolls and protect the construction of the tunnel, which would take about a day

The second problem Daniel had found, was the possibility that one of the participants with a bad karma he had taken ht after passing it That would doom all the people in line behind him to either drown, or be devoured by the many tiny leeches that inhabited the water

Naturally, Daniel would never be able to be everywhere at the saht of a simple solution He would place a spiritual cultivator who had comprehended earth every tot e to the tunnel as soon as possible

In order to prevent the spiritual cultivators froht of two additional preemptive measures

First, he would keep all the money collected, and be the last one to enter the tunnel That meant that, in case any of the spiritual cultivators attempted to destroy the tunnel, the economic interests of every other cultivator around would convince them to intervene

Second, he would place every worker with good karroup, at the last section of the tunnel, as they were those who had the most reasons not to destroy the tunnel Either for moral reasons, or to protect their teae to people with good kar, most of the people trapped would be those with a questionablewhen the last few details had been set Two large cae field around the lake One belonged to the paying, while the other, belonged to the rejected

A full day of preparations had passed

It was very early in theof the next day, and yet, everyone ide awake and currently observing Daniel, which was quietly standing at the edge of the lake

He turned towards the group of e, two meters tall Don't worry about speed of construction, just make it sturdy! I don't want to remind you that if any part breaks, many of you will likely die”

With this recommendation, Daniel focused on his job

The next ain able to see Daniel's mastery of water essence at work The water split, and a twentycrack formed in the murky waters of the otherwise calm lake

One spiritual cultivator after the other stepped forward, and after turning their spiritual essence into earth essence, they started to build the tunnel

Stones started to raise froe circular tunnel Onebuilt

The construction needed to be completed within ten meters from Daniel's back, or the water would start to close on the unco it entirely

Time passed as the construction steadily proceeded

More than once, Daniel had found dressed skeletons at the bottoroups which had entered along with a spiritual cultivator who used water essence

One ti spiritual cultivator This young round, almost completely out of spiritual essence, and in state of shock

Daniel had learned from this man, that he had witnessed how, after one of his tearound and cut his palm on a sharp stone at the bottom of the lake The bubble he had created caved in andwater

He had only been able to focus a bubble around his own body, and when things calmed down, he expanded the bubble once ht next to hi him back to the shore from the partially built tunnel, Daniel proceeded with the construction

-----

Two kiloo back You guys are clearly out of spiritual essence We can continue later We don't need daylight for this anyway” Said Daniel after noticing a significant reduction in the speed of construction

One by one, the spiritual cultivators entered the tunnel, before Daniel shut the end tightly

The many spiritual cultivators were shocked Not only was Daniel able to such an impressive level of control over water essence, but he seeet tired as well
