36 Return

Rishi was tending to the field of Jasper Flowers when suddenly he saw several boats reach the shore of Shattered Meadows.

He put his stuff on the ground and made his way towards the beach.

He confirmed his speculation that this was the batch of Farmhands. Looking at the familiar faces of his clan members at the front following after his Master Ren.

Rishi quickened his pace and walked towards the group of people on the beach.

"Welcome back master." Rishi did a customary bow towards his Master and then lead them towards the small barn he had built to store the harvest.

"I see that You have gotten some work done." Master Ren commented while looking at the various fields around the Shattered Meadow.

"Thank you, Master, for allowing my family to join the Sect." Rishi expressed his gratitude towards Master Ren.

"Ah, I sometimes believe you are different person, thanking me all of a sudden"

Old Man Ren patted the back of Rishi.

Thinking to himself how his disciple was so different at times.

Some times he appeared to be a sincere student always respecting him and behaving courteously while sometimes he changed into a complete boorish person behaving like an uncultured brute.

"Rudra your father would be so proud of you if he knew that you are a sect elder in a Heaven Rank Sect." His brother Miller ran up to him and started shaking his hand.

Rishi looked around at his clan members almost all of them were present here.

He couldn't help but feel happy inside for the fact that they had come to join him, leaving behind their home and business.

He saw old Man Roebuck in the crowd looking stern as always.

Rishi pledged that he would do anything to make his clan flourishing.

He looked around to find about 100 people in the crowd, most of them young.

Apart from the 28 members from his clan, the rest were probably the disciples accepted by Master Ren into the Branch Sect.

Rishi with the help of his Master distributed areas to the new sect members after a sect joining ceremony which involved the 100 or so people pledging their loyalty to the newly formed branch of Spirit Ocean Sect, the Shattered Ocean Farming Sect.

Master Ren and Rishi after much consideration decided to call this branch as Shattered Ocean Farming Sect

After all of the new 'farmhands' had been settled and assigned an area to live on.

Most of them started making makeshift tents for their residence.

Some others started building themselves a wooden shack.

Rishi finally free of all the official duties made his way towards where his clan members were residing.

Rishi feeling happy about his reunion with his clan members spent most of the day with his family members.

Though feeling awkward at the fact that he was no longer their third grandpa but their uncle.

It was awkward for him to interact with his brothers considering they were his uncles now in this guise of new identity of Rudra.

The whole day passed and it was night time Rishi had given his shack to his brother Roebuck claiming it would be inappropriate for the Clan Head to live in a tent while he lived in a nice shack.

Roebuck had protested claiming that Rudra was the Sect Elder of the Shattered Ocean Farming Sect. Thus it was appropriate for him to live in the wooden house. But, in the end, Rishi had won.

Currently, Rishi was telling his master about the strange water in the rocks that he had discovered.

"Master, this water is a rare spiritual medium that we can use to grow some High-rank spiritual plants that could only be grown in the darks of the ocean depth." Rishi was describing his findings to his master.

Rishi had studied the use of the Abyss Water in farming he had been researching about its effects on various plants when Rudra was busy cultivating his Abyss Water Qi.

"I will try to get my hands on some of the seeds from the darks for you." Master Ren assured him while being excited about the prospects of the strange ink-black water in farming.

Rishi and Ren went roaming about the meadows making future plans for the entire area.

What bothered them was the lack of Cultivation Manuals.

Both of them combined only had 4 manuals but most of them could not be learned by the new sect members.

The Desolate Metal Qi was out of the books.

The Giri clan members could practice their Verdant Mountain Qi, but then they were left with the Raging River Qi but the lack of River in the vicinity was a problem.

The Abyss Water Qi came from the Exiled Demon Sutra; he had resolved to hide everything related to the Sutra inside him and not letting it out.

In case he was deemed as a demonic cultivator, the consequences would be unimaginable, his whole clan might get slaughtered No, he would have no harm befall on his clan due to him.

Rishi calmly pondered about the lack of proper manual to be taught in the Shattered Ocean Farming Sect.

At midnight Rudra was sitting alone inside one of the empty rocks,

"Its finally time."
