Chapter 76 - First Month

It has been a month from when Jian took Ling'er as his fourth disciple. The atmosphere in the sect was normal. Everything was going according to plan. 

Next day after accepting Ling'er as a disciple. He gathered everyone and told them what they have to do.

Yu Yang gave the task to care for disciples. He had to look after them and clear their doubts and after practicing the martial arts he had to help them cultivate body tempering techniques. 

In one month disciples were able to breakthrough by one small realm. And some with higher talent were able to console their realm and get ready for the next breakthrough. 

This month was very fruitful for everyone. They were able to stand basics of their martial arts and were able to break through without using pills.

Yu Yue was given the task to look after Su Xiaobo and Luo Xiu. They were the most talented after Jian's personal disciples. 

She had to teach them their martial arts and body tempering technique. Jian had not allowed them to use pills so they had to do depend upon themselves. 

She also had to practice refining weapons. A hundred sets of materials were all used and she was able to refine forty weapons out of it. It was excellent compared to new weapons smith.

So when Meng Shu's guard came to give materials for the pills Jian asked him for 100 sets of materials for sword and 20 sets for spear.

He was able to get them on the next day. He gave them to Yu Yue to practice. 

As for Zhou You, Jian was shocked when he found out that he was already equal to one-star alchemist. He just had not taken exams.

So Jian gave him the task to refine the pills. But Jian had to teach him and look after him because although he was able to refine the pills the quality was very bad. 

Jian shared his experience with him. And told him to practice. In one month he was able to reach the quality of pills which can be given to the pavilion so after the first exchange Jian gave all materials to Zhou You to refine. 

Jian was also not sitting idle. He especially looked after Ling'er. He taught her the same body tempering technique as other disciples as the system told him that it will help in awaking her physique. 

Jian also had other things to do. So after teaching her he would leave her with Ye Qiao. He didn't forget to practice the Alchemy. After accepting the reward which gave him Chaos Cauldron. He was able to increase the quality of the pills further. 

He didn't only practice old pills he added few new pills and practiced refining them. He had started refining Marrow Cleansing Pills and Meridian tempering pills. 

Marrow Cleansing Pills were for all disciples when they reached a peak of the body tempering realm. The Meridian tempering pills were for Ling'er and Luo Xiu because it was beneficial for their physiques. 

Since he added Wei Tengfei's experience of Alchemy. He was easily able to refine them but the increase in quality remained the problem. 

So he continued to increase the Quality of the pills. He also practiced refining weapons. Since the quality was no problem in refining the weapons he only practiced forming the mold. The new weapon he chose was a Saber.

Due to Yu Yue and Zhou You sharing the burden of refining so he only had to refine few times to practice. 

He also tried formations but he couldn't understand them deeply so he only tried few times. He still had to understand its basics.

Jian had only focused on his professions he had left his cultivation aside as his foundation was not stable as before.

Jian had many things to do but when Ling'er was able to practice alone without needing help. It helped him.get more time to focus on his profession. 

The herbs for refining pills for Yu Yang and Yu Yue were matured but Jian continued to increase their quantity. As these type of pills doesn't focus on the quality. It focuses on refining is successful or not. 

The system had given him the simulation of refining the pills and seeing that he was able to tell that the process was multiple times harder than normal pills.

Jian also found out that Ling'er was able to become closer to Zhou You. He was shocked when he saw that. But both were mischievous. She would disturb him when he would refine pills and he would not let her cultivate and both would get in an argument. 

Everything was going as smoothly. Yu Yang would come and also asked doubts about Appraisal. He would also come to ask about martial arts he could not understand. 

Yu Yue will also do the same. She would bring  Luo Xiu and Su Xiaobo with her to clear her and their doubts. 

Jian was already looking after Zhou You and Ling'er so he didn't need to worry about them.

Ye Qiao didn't do much she would look after Ling'er and continued to read in the Scripture Hall. 

In one month everyone would come to ask their doubts and continued to practice their martial arts and cultivate. 

Like this, one month had passed and three months were passed since the opening of the sect.

Jian gathered everyone in the sect hall. Since the month went very fruitful he had decided to let them rest. He told them to take few days off.

Jian sigh after everyone left. He thought about building an arena. By getting Wei Tengfei experience he had understood many shortcomings of the sect.

He started to compare the shortcomings. He was able to find a few of them. One of them was that even though the disciples were practicing their martial arts it was still not enough they had to experience fights. So he had decided to build an arena.

There were many other shortcomings but they were not huge so he kept them aside and focused on building the arena.
