Nightin walked into the sect and entered the martial tower,currently it had seven floors while each floor had eight different sections.
On the first floor,there were currently the four earth grade movement techniques which are divided into the four categories:Movement,Bow,Sword and Spear
After killing the evil cultivator in that life and death battle that time,not only did his cultivation grow much closer to the third realm of Martial Spirit,his sword intent also reached about twenty five percent. The things which will benefit his sect greatly are the three Earth grade techniques.
Blood Claw:Only suitable for those who are capable of killing without blinking an eye. If one can choose to use this technique only to protect loved ones or kill the evil,his or her mentality can make this move no weaker than even the stronger heaven techniques. However,if one doesn't fulfill the requirement,one might lose control of themselves and result in death.
Golden Shield:Divided into three layers. When the cultivator successfully cultivates the first layer,the cultivator will be capable of blocking the attack of a cultivator one sub realm above easily. Two sub realms during the Second layer and one grade upon reaching the final layer of this move.
Mental Spirit Foundation:Helps the cultivator to learn about the basics of mental strength and its foundation. Basic way of cultivating mental strength will be shown to the cultivator.
Out of all the seven techniques in the martial tower right now,the Mental Spirit Foundation can be said to be the most precious one out of all. In this world,mental cultivation techniques are the rarest and even in the upper realm,even some great forces do not have control over even the foundation mental cultivation methods.
It's known to every cultivator that whenever someone makes a breakthrough, their mental spirit will increase slightly as well with a major increase when one steps into the Emperor realm. The reason someone at the Emperor realm can kill anyone below the Lord realm with just a single thought is because of the mental pressure dominance. If every disciple in the sect cultivates their mental strength, it'll greatly benefit them when facing danger as they'll be able to stay calmer and it also increases their wisdom, which helps to increase cultivation speed.
Soon,news of the first floor of the martial tower being updated has been announced to the whole sect as everyone fought to enter. To everyone's surprise,most of them couldn't enter and a token appeared in front of them,their initials were carved on it. From what they know about the new rule, the only way to enter would be through contribution points earned from clearing missions and selling items off to the sect. Of course,there are various other methods as well such a securing a strong force to assist the Nirvana sect and stuff.
On the second floor,everyone was excited was they heard that scrolls and notes of general knowledge can be found there. The general knowledge includes details about the main difference between every cultivation realm;how mental strength is important;the various continents and danger grounds in the lower realm;what alchemists and array masters are. Of course,there are also much more knowledge for the disciples to learn about which will greatly benefit them in this world where survival can be cruel. General knowledge they learn from here might save their life one day in the outside world.
Of course,now that Nightin has returned,this won't be the only change in the sect. He had to further improve his sect facilities to speed up the growth and development of the sect, it's his duty as the sect leader after all.
The next place he headed to was a empty area behind the martial tower. After careful consideration,he has decided to choose a few disciples with the water or earth element spiritual root to cultivate the sect's very own herbs.
If they were to cultivate their very own herbs,not only would they save up on the production cost,the medicinal aroma the herbs release when being grown will improve the atmosphere in the sect,helping to speed up everyone's cultivation speed slightly. In the long run,the effects would definitely show and prove to be of great help.
After careful consideration,Nightin pulled out a outer disciple known as Fir Green. Nightin further announced that another role will be released and it'll be known as the special disciples. Even though they might not be that strong in terms of cultivation,there would be a area where they specialise in.
Green chose eight disciples to help him out with the development of the sect's herbs planting. Based on Green,the nine of them had been great friends since young and they would be able to cooperate well with each other. Based on Green's estimation,they would be able to make a herb grow at ten times its initial speed for now. As for faster growth,it would depend on if Nightin could get them better fertilizers of if they manage to improve their skills. To them,the positioning of the water source and soil,fertilisation timing all these makes a huge impact in both quality and growth speed.
Next up will be the foundation building rooms which have been removed. For the current disciples,the foundation building rooms are way too insignificant in helping them out anymore.
Nightin asked the system "System,I know it has been some time. But have I managed to obtain anything from what I've done till now?"
"Yes host. According to the data collected. You've built up your own sect which can compete against most third grade forces at the moment; you've formed up your own army of elites which consists of Martial Spirits and a eighth grade Martial Lord,all of which have exceedingly high potential;the overall strength of your sect has exceeded the system's initial estimation and development plan."
"After tabulating all the data together,your rewards have been compiled. Middle grade spirit vine of the five elements and intents;first class fertiliser which can help to improve soil quality by at least three times;the realm of life and death.",
According to the system,the effects of the spirit vine gave Nightin a great shock. The spirit vine allows all cultivators within the sect radius to cultivate at a speed three times faster than what it's now while making breaking through much easier at the same time. Not only that,within the area of this spirit vine,everyone would be able to comprehend laws at double their usual speed. This is something that only the top Saint forces in the upper realm will have,yet it's in the control of tiny third grade sect right now.
As for the realm of life and death,disciples would be able to enter and face countless demon beasts. A continuous number of demon beasts would charge at them until they were to die inside. But of course,they won't die in the outside world,however the mental fatigue and trauma from the death will still be there. If every disciple in the sect can go through this without any fear, that would be the moment where they would become unstoppable.
What makes people weaker than demon beasts? It's their fear that they'll die,human cultivators won't be daring enough to take the risks,only to let chances slip by. Never will they know that,the one chance was the reason they died as they missed it. Why? Because they're scared of death,they aren't brave enough to confront their fear and face it head on with a even stronger will.
After settling all this,Nightin walked to the garden in the sect. Taking out the fertilizer,he asked Green "With the new environment of the sect and this fertilizer that I'm about give you,what would be the grade of herbs that you can grow and their growth speed?"
Green thought for a short while before replying "With everything I have now,I would be able speed up the development of herbs by twenty times, which means that the herbs which I'm growing right now will only require a month before being sold. As for the quality,they should be around the fourth rank,two ranks above those which are commonly found."
Nightin looked at Green as he said "We won't be putting those herbs up for sale,if we do so,our rivals would come after us and eliminate us straight away. Instead, we'll pass the herbs over to our alchemist hall?"
Green eyes opened wide as he asked "We have a alchemist hall? Why does know about it? It wasn't said to any of us."
Nightin replied "Of course you don't know about it,the alchemist hall was just established by me in the morning,it can be located east of the Martial Tower. Every time the herbs are harvested,you can arrange for someone to transport the goods over there immediately."
Green nodded as he gave his agreement and promise that he'll do his best and not let Nightin down. Green was merely expecting to be a lowly outer disciple for life,never had he expected that the sect master would actually give him a chance to prove himself.
Back in the rooms, Little Black and Ray made a breakthrough at the same time to the second realm of Martial Spirit. Abby had made a breakthrough to the third realm of Martial Spirit while Lancelot and Ayden was only slightly away from the Middle grade Martial Spirit Realm.
Lancelot stood up from his cultivating position as he patted off the dust from his robe and went to take a shower. He was sweaty all over after days of tough training without even taking a single break or giving himself some rest time.
Lying with his back on the wooden tub,he resolved to himself that it's time he left the sect. Even though the sect will help him to cultivate more quickly,he had to leave for the outside world. He wanted to take revenge before the Worldly Forces Battle which will take place soon with only eleven months left for him. If he doesn't destroy the White Ravens,they would become his heart demon and haunt him for life, making it impossible for him to make any further progress on the path of cultivation.
Standing up to wipe his body with a towel,he wore a clear white robe as he stepped outside the door and went towards the main hall to find Nightin. After hearing news that Nightin was in the garden,he headed towards the garden after finding out the directions from a few other disciples.
Lancelot stopped in front of Nightin as he asked "Sect master,can we have a talk at the side? There's something which I want to request for permission to do."
For those of you who are wondering why the number of words can differ greatly for consequent chaps, it's because I'm going for the content and not the word count intentionally.
