The cave fell silent for a moment. After a while, Junior Wen, unwilling to accept defeat, said, "When Junior Brother Zhao returns, he should be able to alleviate the situation for a while."
Chu Daoist smiled bitterly, "What Junior Brother Zhao took with him is the last ten thousand Spiritual Shells from our sect. Even if this trip goes smoothly and he returns with cultivation external objects, it would at most suffice for only about thirty disciples for a year and a half. What shall we do after that?"
Junior Wen, still stubborn, insisted, "Delay it for as long as we can. Who knows, perhaps by then, our master might have returned to the mountain gate?"
Chu Daoist shook his head and said, "If you're unwilling, I have another plan."
Junior Wen, anxious, said, "Senior brother, given the situation, what are you holding back for? Speak quickly."
