Chapter 78: Sect Affairs
After the alchemy incident, You You realized their sect had many urgent problems needing solutions, especially the severe lack of support staff like nurses.
"Sect Master, we’ve received aid requests from three neighboring kingdoms—mostly monster disturbances asking for disciple deployment," Ling Qi reported while checking records.
"Three kingdoms?" You You blinked. "Not just Fengtian?"
Ling Qi explained, "Though located in Fengtian Kingdom, neighboring realms without other immortal sects also seek our help. Protecting mortals is our responsibility."
"How many requests?"
"Thirteen urgent cases. Others need investigation first."
You You grew uneasy. "Thirteen? Can we spare that many?" Their sect was full of youngsters!
"Don’t worry." Ling Qi remained calm. "We’ve many Foundation Building disciples. Immortal sects send such disciples on trials—solve local issues while honing combat skills."
"But they just reached Foundation Building…" You You hesitated. Were they ready?
"Most reported monsters are Tier Three or Four. Challenging for mortals, but manageable for Foundation Building disciples."
"Then arrange the trials!" You You nodded, feeling like a parent sending kids to college. "Ensure they take messaging talismans. Retreat immediately if overwhelmed. Distribute protective tools from the vault—safety first!"
"Understood. All will return safely." Ling Qi flipped his booklet. "Two more matters require your decision."
"More?!" Running a sect was exhausting.
"First: neighboring kingdoms inquire when we’ll recruit disciples. Fengtian especially expects us to select locally as tradition dictates."
"Recruit more?!" You You gaped. Hundreds of disciples already strained resources! "Not now. Delay this."
"Agreed." Ling Qi continued, "Second: Over a dozen disciples near Qi Refinement completion will soon need Foundation Building Pills."
"Again?" The nurse shortage bit hard. Alchemy Masters could make the pills, but demand outpaced supply. Frequent failures without guidance didn’t help.
Yuan Qi’s luck boosted success, but they couldn’t have him babysit the alchemy room daily. Skill mattered more than luck, so he only visited when essential.
"Daoist Lord Kui offered to refine a batch in time," Ling Qi reminded.
"Daoist Lord Kui?" You You blinked. "Wasn’t he making pills for Shui Yan’s group?"
Since meeting Shui Yan, Kui Bi had camped at Zhen Yan Sect, abandoning his Spiritual Plants and alchemy studies. Learning Bone Refinement Pills were for her, he’d proposed supplementary Recovery Pills, Spiritual Energy Pills, Body Strengthening Pills—even Beauty Pills.
His lovelorn gaze at Shui Yan filled the hall with awkward tension.
Shui Yan confirmed "Ming Yan" was her old name but didn’t recognize Kui Bi—making this one-sided pining.
╮(─▽─)╭
He’d started refining with his own materials, yet…
"Daoist Lord Kui’s list remains unfinished—he ran out of Spiritual Plants," Ling Qi said. "Hearing our need, he offered help. But he’ll undergo tribulation here soon. We must prepare formations."
"Tribulation?"
"He’s nearing Golden Core Stage. High-level tribulations require sect protection. Staying suggests genuine commitment." Becoming a Tier Seven Alchemist would benefit everyone.
You You’s eye twitched. Commitment to the sect… or chasing a girl?
"Handle it. Consult Yuan Qi about formations."
"Understood. Last matter: Lin Feng and Yin Fan near Golden Core Stage post-trials. They’ll need cultivation techniques. Your thoughts?"
"Cultivation what?" You You stared.
Stop inventing new terms!
