43 Hacks

Rudra who had now taken control of the body was skimming through the spells of undead in the Exiled Demon Sutra.

"Turn your soul threads into blades to cut the connection of enemy lich over their minions, or turn your soul threads into a shield to defend."

"If I had known this before I could have finished that punk much easier," Rudra said while looking at the texts.

"Bone Morphosis, change the shape of the bones to suit your needs but the shape once changed might not revert back. Primarily used for making bone weapons and armors."

"Ohh, Nice, With this, I can equip my skelly army." Rudra was delighted.

"Absorbing different Qi into the bones, creating chimeras, metal absorption to make bone armor stronger, creating liches, arch lich, death knights, taming mounts,....." Rudra read through various techniques and information present in the manual.

Rudra closed the Manual and stored it inside his spatial ring, the Shattered Meadows was in his line of sight.

He alighted from his boat onto the beach and was greeted by a disciple,

"Welcome back elder."

Rudra slowly nodded his head making his way directly towards the house Master Ren.

He knocked on the door for some time after getting no reply, he turned back and returned to the fields.

He saw all the sect members tending to their respecting fields, he also saw a circular mud pit where two disciples were wrestling.

Curious he asked the nearest disciple what was going on.

"Elder, we were feeling bored so we decided to build an arena to wrestle."

Rudra nodded his head understanding that these guys were probably feeling bored with having to do farming every day so they created some pass time. He had no problem with them slacking off a little.

"Have you seen Sect Head," Rudra asked the disciple once again.

"Yes, Elder." the disciple started to walk towards the location of the Old Man Ren and Rudra followed after him.

"What is your name kid."

"I'm called Mark, Elder." the disciple answered.

Along the way, Rudra made small talk with Mark asking about his family, his home...

"Here we are, Elder."

"You can return now." Rudra entered into the wooden building in front of him and was greeted by his master standing in front of a well similar to the one in the Spirit River Sect where he had gotten his Two Immortal Spirits.

Rudra couldn't help but remember the magnificent hall used by the Spirit River Sect.

"Its finally complete, huh" Rudra moved next to his master Ren

"Yes, it is ready to be used." Old Man Ren replied.

"Let me call all the disciples to gather here," Rudra said as he raced out of the building to catch up to Mark who was just a few steps away from the Immortal Spirit Awakening Shack.

Mark was surprised to see his Elder rush towards him politely inquired, "Do you need something Elder?"

"Yes, Mark I want you to gather all the sect members in front of this building."

"As you wish Elder." Mark turned around and ran towards the fields.

"What a good disciple." Rudra couldn't help but admire the young Mark for his demeanor.

He then returned to the wooden shack with the well.

"They will be here in a moment," Rudra said to Ren who just nodded his head.

"Have you taken care of the Manual problem?" Ren asked.

Rudra started taking out the manuals from his ring and handing them over to Ren to checkout,

"I need your help modifying some of these manuals."

"Modify?"

Rudra then explained how he wanted some of the weapons manuals changed so they fit to be used by the farming hands of the sect.

"So the Curved Blade Art must be usable with a sickle, Typhoon Ax with a hoe...."

Old Man Ren was a Nascent Soul cultivator it would be possible for him to tweak some Qi Condensation and Foundation stage manuals.

Ren and Rudra discussed the various changes they would make to the manuals. But their conversation stopped when the deacon of the sect entered in to inform them that all the disciples had gathered outside.

"Looks like you are enjoying your job as a deacon, uncle Miller." Rudra teased his Uncle who had been appointed as the deacon fo the sect.

"Come let's go outside," Ren said to Miller.

They both moved out of the shack while Rudra remained inside collecting the manuals he had been discussing with Ren into his ring.

Soon Old Man Ren entered into the shack followed by a single disciple of the sect.

Sit on the banks of the well and drop blood inside. Old Man Ren said as he channeled his Qi into the runes surrounding the well causing it to gleam in a bluish hue.

The disciple nodded his head following the instructions.

As the blood dropped into the well the water in the well churned but nothing happened after that.

"All right you can go now." Old Ren said to the disciple.

Rudra looked intently at the well, then realized that the kid had failed to awaken an Immortal Spirit.

The disciple dejectedly left the room while another disciple entered who was ordered by Old MAn Ren to follow the steps.

After a few disciples, no one had awakened any Immortal Spirits.

Perhaps sensing his displeasure Old Man Ren consoled him, "Its Ok kid, It will be fortunate if we could even get 1 or 2 disciples who can awaken their Immortal Spirit."

Rudra was reminded that even in Spirit River Sect only a handful of disciples had their Immortal Spirit.

More disciples came and none of them produced any fruitful results.

Rudra was now intently staring at the well and suddenly the gears in his brains turned an idea popped up in his head, the smile on his face expanded till it started looking creepy.

The female member of Giri Clan who had just entered into the freaked out and screamed causing Rudra to return to reality.

"Hey, Old Man I wanna try something outrageous."

Old Man Ren's mouth twitched remembering his disciple's ever-changing way of treating him.

Rudra pointed at the girl who had just screamed, "Sit down and drop your blood into the well."

The girl complied and did what was asked of her.

Ren looked at the well which was the same as always, he looked at Rudra,

"What do you want to do now?"

"It's done Old Man, you are gonna thank me later." Rudra laughed in glee.

Old Man Ren felt his Qi being absorbed quickly, he turned to look at the well and was surprised to see a Nine headed hydra fly out and enter into the Dantian of the female disciple.

"How?" Old Man Ren stormed to the side of the well and peered inside only to see a pitch-black abyss with two shiny red eyes glaring back at him.

He then turned to the girl, "Can you show me your Immortal Spirit"

The female disciple who was thrilled to have her Immortal Spirit nodded her head and produced an apparition of a Nine headed Black Hydra slithering around in her Dantian.

Old Man Ren looked at Rudra, "How did you do it?"

"Hacks," Rudra laughed seeing the confused face of Old Man Ren.

Rudra gave him a cheeky smile, "I will tell you after we have awakened an Immortal Spirit in all Sect members."

Old Man Ren beamed a smile and went out to call the first disciple who had failed to awaken an Immortal Spirit back into the shack.
