Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Knowing that he would be holding another lecture soon, Xuan Hao could not help wondering what he would get this time around.

During the past year, he had held a total of three lectures.

The first one he had chosen the spiritual herb reward like he had done the first time around. Unfortunately, he had not gotten any spiritual herb that could help Elder Song recover from the injuries he had suffered from refining the demonic medicinal potion for over 10 years straight…

However, this did not mean the spiritual herbs he had gotten was bad in any way, as although they were not what he had been looking for, they were still incredibly rare spiritual herbs that could not be found easily.

For the second reward, he had decided to choose something different and had ended up getting rewarded with a Peak Earth Rank Qi Technique called Fire Dragon Sword.

Even if it was mostly useless to him as the technique was suitable for Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm Experts, it still helped him improve his sword domain after learning it.

In the end, one of his domains was a sword domain. Learning more sword techniques would help improve it. Even if the technique he learned was low level, it could still help him improve his understanding of the sword dao and in turn increase the strength of his domain!

For this reason, the thing he had spent most of his time on during the past year, was learning all the sword techniques inside the Flying Sword Sect that he could get his hands on.

Not to mention, after he had learnt the Fire Dragon Sword, he could give it to the Flying Sword Sect and in turn help increase the number of techniques available for Core Formation Realm Experts and Nascent Soul Realm Experts of the sect.

After all, even if the Flying Sword Sect had a large number of both Earth Rank and Heaven Rank Qi Techniques compared to other sects on their level, the number was still miniscule when considering how few in the Flying Sword Sect could actually learn these techniques.

By far, one of the most important things when it came to learning a new qi technique was affinity with the technique itself! If one had no affinity with the qi technique, one could only give up on learning it and go on to the next…

More qi techniques meant that there was a higher chance of finding a suitable one to learn for the elders in the Core Formation Realm.

In turn, learning a powerful Earth Rank Qi Technique might help these elders who remained stuck in the Core Formation Realm gain some insight into the Nascent Soul Realm and breakthrough!

From this, it could be seen how important it was for the Flying Sword Sect to get more qi techniques at the Earth Rank!

Feng Chen, Shu Yao, Elder Song, and the rest of the elders from both of the sects also realized this, as they had already begun moving their cultivation mantras and qi techniques to a massive new library at the Seventh Star Peak where the techniques of both the sects would be gathered in the future!

At this point in time, the Fire Dragon Sword technique he had gotten from the system had already been placed inside this new library at the Seventh Star Peak and quite a few elders from both the Flying Sword Sect and the Spring Flower Sect had already begun learning it. Allowing them to show signs of improving in their cultivation after having been stagnant for a long time.

For this reason, Xuan Hao had decided to also choose a qi technique for the third reward and was given a Peak Earth Rank Qi Technique called the Green Flower Barrier. The Green Flower Barrier was pretty useless to him, but the same could not be said for the elders, as the elders from the Spring Flower Sect were especially interested in this Qi Technique.

From what he heard, there was even a Nascent Soul Realm elder from the Spring Flower Sect that chose to learn the Green Flower Barrier after it was put into the library at the Seventh Star Peak. Not anything odd considering a Peak Earth Rank Qi Technique could only be fully utilized by someone in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Looking for a spiritual herb that could help Elder Song recover the damage to his soul was simply not something that could be done with the reward from the lecture sect quest, as it seemed like the rewards were limited within a certain range. Spiritual Herbs at the Mystic Grade could not be obtained, and Qi Techniques above the Earth Rank were similarly not something that could be gained through a simple repeatable quest.

However, even if the rewards from the repeatable sect quest was not something that was useful to improving his own cultivation realm most of the time… Or helping Elder Song recover, it was still more than enough to help improve the overall strength of the Flying Sword Sect's elders. Maybe even helping create more Nascent Soul Realm elders for the sect in the future.

Thinking about this, Xuan Hao could not help wondering if there would be more repeatable quests in the future. Although they were not that useful when it came to improving his own strength, they were perfect when it came to increasing the strength of the Flying Sword Sect.

"Hm?" Suddenly feeling a familiar presence approaching him from the entrance to the pavilion, Xuan Hao soon saw Chu Yang coming out before moving directly towards him.

"Chu Yang, what is it?" Seeing Chu Yang come over all of a sudden, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a bit curious. From what he remembered; he did not have any lesson planned with him today.

Could it perhaps be that he wants to go outside again...?

"Master, can I join you for the lecture today?" However, contrary to what Xuan Hao had expected Chu Yang to ask him, Chu Yang just came out to ask about him joining the lecture he was holding for the older disciples of the Flying Sword Sect today.

Given that he was planning to also talk about the Core Formation Realm, it was not a waste of time for him to participate in the lecture.

"Sure, you can come with me if you want." Not seeing any reason to refuse his disciple's request, Xuan Hao agreed without any resistance.

"Thank you master!"

Following Chu Yang deciding to follow along and join his lecture, Xuan Hao spent the next few hours leading up to the lecture teaching Qing Yi the Dragon Fire Sword.

With Qing Yi being skilled in both the sword and having a connection to the dao of fire through her divine physique, she easily managed to master the beginner part of the Dragon Fire Sword.

Going to the lecture together with Chu Yang, Xuan Hao spent the rest of the day on the lecture. Only finishing late into the evening when the sun had already started moving down behind the mountains surrounding the Flying Sword Sect.

The lecture itself was a major success and was by far the best lecture he had held so far. The main reason for this, was the fact that three of the older disciples participating in the lecture at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm had managed to break through to the Core Formation Realm!

At the moment, the strongest disciples of the Flying Sword Sect were the core disciples. Different from the personal disciples of the elders that had varying degrees of power depending on their master.

Not to mention, each and every core disciple of the Flying Sword Sect had reached the Core Formation Realm and could, as the name suggested, be considered to be the core of the Flying Sword Sect!

Each of them would be the future elders of the Flying Sword Sect when they gained enough experience and grew stronger in the Core Formation Realm.

One lecture creating three more core disciples was a major thing in the Flying Sword Sect and instantly caused the reputation of Xuan Hao to reach a new level.

Although not comparable to Elder Song, his reputation in the Flying Sword Sect had already reached a height far above the rest of the Core Elders and some of the younger disciples had even started referring to him as either the Supreme Elder or Ancestor…!

Heck, he was not even thirty years old, yet these disciples had already started calling him ancestor…

The fact that his strength was at the Domain Lord Realm, while the rest of the Core Elders of the Flying Sword Sect was still at the Nascent Soul Realm, was something that had ended up causing some confusion to the disciples who just joined the sect.

In the end, Elder Song contacted Feng Chen about it and together with Shu Yao, the three of them decided that a new position was necessary for Xuan Hao.

At the same time, they also decided to change the current hierarchy of the Flying Sword Sect and the Spring Flower Sect would have to be changed to a brand new one, as both sects ran on a system that was different.
