Sam sent Argan with the rest of his team.

They will start from the families and organizations that are on the same level as the Starbow family and proceed to deal with a series of organizations until they finished the families on the same level as the Solar Fragment tribe.

All of these organizations are under Hou Yi's control. While Arkiv is dealing with the organizations under Hel's control.

After Argan finished the organizations he will help with Arkiv's tasks and then they will both move to the rest of the organizations on the same level under different people.

This first phase would take at least eight months and it might need a whole year. Even if they are easy and an organization would occupy at most a week, the sheer number would take a lot of time and the travel time, the planning time, and all the other conditions they have to consider along with the possible conflicts with other players would do some delays.

But he is sure that the first phase would take longer than the second phase of the plans anyway.

After sending him away with the details, Agar and him started going on a journey. But not before sending Arona to one of the planets under him to take up a job to manage a bar.

She doesn't want to get herself involved in fighting, sex and drugs. She wants to have a relatively peaceful life and she has an experience in a woman bar in the previous planet. If he can manage these crazy sex-driven maniacs in a bar, there is no need to worry about her management skills.

So, he threw her in one of the bars and that was the end of their deal.

After sending her away, Sam and Agar started their journey.

Their first target of the ten people is actually a Sick man.

"The Five-Elemental King. The man who can use five basic elements.

Fire, water, earth, metal, and wood.

He is a legend among all the Late-stage Astral Plane Pre-transcendent cultivators because he is the guy who killed most of the Peak stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.

He is too strong to be on the same cultivation as us. But he is.

He is good at using formations and inscriptions. Some say he is a good artisan too, but no one knows if it is true.

He walked through the realm like a crazy maniac and there was no one who could stop his growth and even his presence came out of nowhere. He appeared when he is a Mortal Plane Transcendent stage cultivator and they began his legend.

He roamed around defeating all kinds of geniuses that are considered on the same level as his and defeated them again and again as they broke through. He is the ruler of an era and he marked every single one of his victories by collecting treasures of various kinds in different levels of his cultivation. He has the best weapons, best medicines, best herbs, and the best materials that could be available in his realm which goes to say he is filthy rich.

He doesn't belong to any organization and there are only a few friends, but they are not some small fries.

But the legend has come to a stop a few years ago when he built himself a large formation of five elements in a valley and meditated there and before he settled like that, he announced that he is sick of something and as long as one gave him a plausible diagnosis and treated him he would work for them for the life.

He solely survived on the spiritual energy and he never came out of the valley and he cannot come out of it. That valley is the only thing that is keeping him stable.

For years, many people, famous healers, pill masters, potion makers tried to give him a proper diagnosis, but they couldn't do anything. Some said he doesn't have any illness. Some made some desperate attempts to luck out in a diagnosis, but nothing worked and soon the doctor's flow reduced.

The people slowly started forgetting him. But it changed a year ago when some greedy fellows who just broke through in the Peak stage of Astral Plane Pre-transcendence wanted to get all the treasures he hoarded over the years and made a large elaborate plane.

But not before one of those idiots went into his valley and demanded that he should be given all the treasures. Nobody knows how he died and the rest of the idiots tried to kill him with numbers as they just barged into the valley.

He came out of his meditation and killed everyone within an hour as all of these guys are young masters the families and tribes they belonged to came looking for revenge. They thought the Five-Elemental King has turned soft and he let the wave of experts enter the valley and locked it in.

The screams of all of these people were heard throughout the surrounding area for a whole day and when people finally got access to the valley, they saw a valley full of blood and gore. Dead bodies are everywhere and in the center of the valley, the Five-Elemental King is sitting with his whole body soaked in blood as he meditated every so calmly.

That is the time I heard of him and I added him to the list, but after I found out about the illness and everything else, I didn't bother to even try.

But since you are good at drugs and stuff and this guy is the nearest to us, I figured you might want to try."

"The Five elemental King. I haven't seen someone using that many elements except by myself. Let us go and try our luck. I am hardly a doctor or a healer. I would take a look and see how lucky we are."

After that, both of them went to the realm where the Five elemental King is staying using the wormhole connecting the Hawking Planet and that realm.

The planet they entered is called the Star Prism and the family that holds the most power over there is called Cancid family and they belong to the Marhinad race.

They are a winged race and their wings are thin and translucent. They are razor sharp. They are almost like attached weapons to them as they use them in battle frequently.

As for why, it is relevant because the head of this family is a friend of the Five elemental kings and after that incident which happened a year ago, he decided to take control over the surroundings of the valley and had strict surveillance as well as monitoring the entry of the valley so that no one would disturb the King and get killed.

The image he left behind previously is still fresh in their minds.

And the reason why it is relevant to Sam is that they stopped the self-proclaimed healers to go into the valley so that they would try to piss off Five- Elemental king.

The popular opinion is that his friend the head of the Cancid family thinks to make his friend free from disturbance, the unpopular opinion is that the Five- elemental king warned him that he would tear the Cancid family a new one if something like this happens again.

Anyway, in both cases, Sam has to go through the test the Cancid family conducts and has to pass it with flying colors before he is allowed to go into the valley.

They even constructed a separate building within their family estate for these tests.

Agar led him to the building and let her attendant who came from the Solar Fragment tribe to finish the registration procedure.

Sam looked at the long line of applicants before him and asked.

"Is this what you mean by reduced traffic? They are around a three dozen of these guys."

"Of course, do you know how many guys are there on the first day the Five elemental kings announced that he would need this healing? Three hundred and twenty-five and on the second day the number climbed to eight hundred and fifty and by the end of the week, it is around one thousand nine hundred.

You tell me, is flow less or not."

"Yeah, compared to that it is non-existent. But that doesn't change the fact that this is going to take a lot of time. Is there any way to skip these guys?"

"Not really. Bribes don't work, they are almost as strong as me. They are of decent backgrounds and threats don't work. In fact, a few people belong to the organizations that are on our list and most of them are in the third phase of it.

So if you piss them off now by offering a bribe or a threat, you might have to work on them a little earlier than normal. So it is better for you to stay low-key and wait."

"Do you know what the test is?"

"I don't know. But I do know that it was created by the five elemental King himself. It was done on a beast.

The applications would be closed by afternoon and the test would be conducted. They would check the diagnosis, document it, and select the few that got it correct and they will bring them to the valley tomorrow."

"Guess, all we can do is wait."
