Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

After returning to the Flying Sword Sect together with Shu Yao, Xuan Hao quickly sat her down on the ground before she took off and disappeared in the direction of Feng Chen’s pavilion.

The reason for this, was that Feng Chen would be returning to the Flying Sword Sect soon and she would like to finish the last few details of the merger with him before officially beginning the process of merging the two sects together, it looked like the Spring Flower Sect would soon be a part of the Flying Sword Sect…

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help but worry about where they would have their main sect in the future… After all, both the current Flying Sword Sect and the Spring Flower Sect, were way too small to accommodate everyone in one place…

It almost seemed inevitable that they would have to either expand one of the two main sects or find a new location to build an even larger main sect at.

”Well… That is not for me to worry about…”

Shaking his head when he thought about how they would fit everyone into one location, Xuan Hao felt a little pity for Elder Song, as he would most likely be worked to dead in the coming months.

At least he hoped Feng Chen and Shu Yao would come to some idea on what direction they would be going. Expanding one of the two main sects or finding a new location to build an even larger main sect on.

No matter what, Elder Song was going to have a hard time allocating the sect’s resources and manpower towards the chosen plan… Maybe the Spring Flower Sect had their own Elder Song to help out as well…?

”Hehe…”

Chuckling a bit to himself upon imagining a female version of Elder Song, Xuan Hao soon decided to make his way back to his own pavilion.

The fight between the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and Su Wuhan, king of the Azure Sky Kingdom, had taken a way shorter time than expected and Xuan Hao still had the books he had gathered earlier on him.

So, in the end, there was no need for him to go and visit the sect’s libraries. Instead, he could just read through the books he had gathered back in his own pavilion first.

Hopefully, the books he had gathered, would be enough for him to complete the world history part of the quest along with the combat and movement technique part.

After that, he could go around and visit the different profession halls of the Flying Sword Sect and complete the last part of his quest.

”Bai Ning also seems to be out at the moment… Is he perhaps visiting the Blacksmithing Hall…?”

Muttering this to himself as he arrived back at his pavilion after only a few hours outside, Xuan Hao could not help but smile to himself when he thought about Bai Ning.

Even from the first day that he had taken him as a disciple, Bai Ning was already set on the path of becoming a blacksmith. Even if he focused on blacksmithing way more than cultivation, Xuan Hao did not mind it. The reason why had chosen the Unformed Mantra for him in the first place, was due to the fact that he knew this would happen!

Whoosh~

Making his way around his pavilion, Xuan Hao soon came to a stop in front of a small gazebo with a few chairs and a table located at the edge of the mountain peak overlooking the entire Flying Sword Sect from above.

”This looks like a great spot…”

Sitting down on one of the chairs, Xuan Hao looked down at the Flying Sword Sect below.

The smoke coming from the furnaces of the Blacksmithing Hall, the swarm of disciples constantly moving in and out of the Mission Hall, disciples selling and buying different pills or artifacts at the small market they created in front of the Artifact Hall…

There were even a few elders sneakily moving away from one of the storage buildings with a barrel of what looked like wine…

Seeing this, Xuan Hao smiled a bit to himself.

The Flying Sword Sect is indeed quite lively…

Thinking this before taking out one of the books he had brought with him, Xuan Hao began to read it as he slowly became immersed in the book. Trying his best to learn and remember every single thing written in it by heart.

Rustle~

”Thank you!”

At some point, Zhi Ruo had shown up with a cup of tea that she gently placed in front of him along with a few snacks.

”…”

Not saying anything, Zhi Ruo just bowed her head respectful before turning to leave just as quietly as she had appeared.

Like this, Xuan Hao spent the rest of the day peacefully reading through different books filled with all sorts of different combat and movement techniques. Expanding his overall knowledge when it came to both combat techniques and movement techniques!

In the future when his two oldest disciples returned, Xuan Hao would have a plethora of new techniques to teach them!

[Side Quest: Learn about new subjects to better teach your disciples.]

[New Knowledge about Professions: 0/100]

[New Knowledge about Movement and Combat Techniques: 100/100(complete)]

[New Knowledge about World History: 100/100 (complete)]

”Looks like the technique and history part is already done. Maybe I should teach Bai Ning one of the techniques I learned about today after finishing the rest of the quest? After all, he should at least know some way of defending himself in the future!”

Saying this to himself, Xuan Hao looked up at the sun about to disappear behind the mountains surrounding the Flying Sword Sect.

After spending the rest of the day reading, it looked like he would have to wait until the next day before visiting any of the profession halls…

Bai Ning had also returned back to the pavilion at some point and was already asleep in his room, Zhi Ruo was the same. Leaving only Xuan Hao awake on the mountain peak.

”Guess I will just cultivate here until morning arrives…”

Putting his books away, Xuan Hao closed his eyes and sat down on a pillow he had taken off one of the chairs before beginning to cultivate.

Like this, the stars soon appeared above as the night slowly passed.
