Chapter 1175 One Year (Part 1)

As Zu Fei ended up leaving the sect together with a large number of the older elders in the Nascent Soul Realm following Elder Song's plans for expansion into the border region of the Sky Empire partly controlled by the Onyx Empire, the situation in the Star Shattering Sect became hectic for a few weeks as the younger elders settled into the roles that had been left behind by the older elders.

At the very least, Elder Song had made sure that there was still quite a few Nascent Soul Realm Elders around in the sect to continue teaching some of the older disciples who had already reached the Core Formation Realm or were about to enter the Core Formation Realm, while at the same time ensuring that the younger elders ended up in roles that they could handle and didn't end up somewhere that they were unqualified for.

Making full use of this peaceful time, Xuan Hao used the next half year to condense two more layers around his dao lotus, bringing it up to a total of eight layers.

During this time, he also got a more in-depth understanding of the requirements for condensing a layer around his dao lotus. Learning that the minimum requirement for condensing a layer was to comprehend a dao to the Small Success Realm, while reaching the Large Success Realm would allow him to condense another two.

Comprehending a dao to the Elementary Realm wasn't enough to condense a layer like he had first expected. Meaning that if he wanted to condense any more layers and improve his strength, he would have to either comprehend a new dao or improve his other Daos, like the Dao of Blacksmithing, to the Small Success Realm or beyond.

During this period of time, the only time he would leave his cultivation room would be to check up on his disciples once every month or when they personally came to seek his help in cultivation, while also resuming his past lecture once every three months.

Even if the rewards given by the system for completing the three-month lecture weren't useful to him, it was still useful to the sect and his disciples. Especially the spiritual metal that was given through the repeatable system quest, as he found out that it would always be rare and exotic spiritual metal that originated from the ancient era and was hard to find in the current time.

However, the person who enjoyed these rare and exotic spiritual metals the most was Bai Ning, who began frolicking around like a child whenever he brought out any of the spiritual metal that he had managed to get through the repeatable system quest.

Even if the quality of the spiritual metal wasn't that high, the fact that it was exotic and most of it didn't exist in the current time was more than enough to make up for it.

In the end, this resulted in quite a few unique artifacts created by Bai Ning starting to spread through the Star Shattering Sect. Even if the impact of these artifacts didn't create much of a stir, their uniqueness still managed to captivate a large number of blacksmithing disciples and elders. Ultimately increasing Bai Ning's prestige among the blacksmiths of the sect during this period of time, while also making his presence more known throughout the sect as a whole.
