Fang Ruotang raised her hands and pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet before asking with a puzzled look, "Didn't Elder Du tell you? What were your identities in Medicine King Valley before? What are they now in my Tianyi Sect?"
The elders of Medicine King Valley paused for a moment, then glared angrily at Du Zhong. Du Zhong felt a chill run down his spine; he knew he was doomed.
"You didn't ask the right question! I'd like to ask you instead! You didn't ask me, but came straight to the sect leader. What do you mean by that? You all want to replace me, right?"
Du Zhong then rebuked the others, but they were not to be trifled with either.
"If you weren't so greedy, would we be in this situation?"
"I'm greedy? What did I greedily do?"
"You know perfectly well what you're greedy for."
...
A group of people started arguing amongst themselves.
Fang Ruotang scratched her face, a little bewildered. How did things suddenly change like this?
She remembered that the last time she went to Medicine King Valley, the atmosphere inside was quite pleasant! She didn't see these elders arguing with each other.
"...Sect Master, you be the judge."
An elder suddenly pulled Fang Ruotang to the center of the argument.
Fang Ruotang was completely bewildered, having no idea what these people were arguing about. As for their accusations that Du Zhong was selfish, she didn't see it either.
Anyway, over this period of time, she has developed a pretty good impression of Eucommia ulmoides.
"Me, judge? Judge what?"
"Tell me, is he wrong or not?"
Fang Ruotang asked cautiously and nervously, "...Perhaps, there's something wrong?"
If it's not wrong, it shouldn't incite public outrage.
Although she didn't know what these people were angry about.
“Look, look, even the sect leader said you were wrong, but you still refuse to admit it. From today onwards, you go back to Medicine King Valley, and I will stay in Tianyi Sect.”
“That won’t do! I just took the sect leader’s fourth sister as my personal disciple. Her spiritual roots and talents are not good. I was just about to collect some medicinal herbs to temper her body and strengthen her physique.”
Du Zhong refused without hesitation and gave the excuse he had come up with on the way there.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ruotang immediately said, "Don't go back. There's nothing to do there anyway. Didn't we agree to go out and explore together?"
Du Zhong, with a mischievous and sly look, threw a glance at the elders of Medicine King Valley, which angered them so much that they almost took out their magical artifacts on the spot to fight to the death.
"insidious!"
"Disgusting!"
"You despicable person!"
"treacherous!"
Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded, having no idea what they were doing. After all, these people were speaking in a mumbled way, so she simply asked Xiao Jingzi.
The little mirror quickly found the reason.
They're vying for your favor; they all want to catch your eye.
[They? Competing for favor?]
Fang Ruotang looked complicated.
None of the elders of Medicine King Valley have a youthful appearance. They are not old men in their forties or fifties, but rather they all appear to be around thirty years old.
For an eighteen-year-old girl like Fang Ruotang, this is indeed a bit old.
[Yes, the skills you displayed in Medicine King Valley stunned them. They felt you had something even better, and given your ability to help someone break through to the Mahayana stage, that's why they agreed to merge with the Heavenly One Sect. Look at the contents of their meeting.]
Fang Ruotang glanced at it briefly.
However, a group of pragmatic people all saw the hope of ascension and felt that following her would give them a chance to ascend.
As for the sects, they can't worry about that now. They should focus on the present and ascend to immortality first!
Fang Ruotang was both amused and exasperated, realizing the meaning behind their hesitant words.
“Our Tianyi Sect is quite large now, it’s a merger of several sects. I plan to establish various academies. The Pill Cultivation Academy will be managed by a Pill Master, assisted by several Pill Master Elders. We will also establish a Medical Clinic and appoint a Clinic Master to be responsible for providing basic medical supplies to the sect’s disciples. What do you think?”
Fang Ruotang interrupted their argument with a smile, and after she said that, there was no need for them to argue anymore.
To put it bluntly, it's still the same as when we were in Medicine King Valley.
The only difference is that Medicine King Valley has changed its name to Pill Cultivation Academy. The Pill Master is still Du Zhong, and the other Pill Masters and Elders are roughly the same as in Medicine King Valley.
“Alright!” Du Zhong readily agreed, and then asked the others, “So, you guys have no objections now, right?”
"You're making it sound like we're being unreasonable. Don't be so ungrateful. We're just giving you face."
A group of people have lived together for hundreds of years, making noise and commotion.
Fang Ruotang shook her head with a smile, thinking that their relationship was quite good. After all, they were all cultivators who still talked a lot. Besides her, there was actually a group of people like them.
"Elder Du, please tell Steward Jin to contact the Tianyan Array Sect to set up two more arrays for us, connecting us to Medicine King Valley, so that it won't be inconvenient for us to go there later. Since we've set up the Pill Cultivation Academy, there must also be Pill Cultivation Stewards. You can have one directly liaise with Steward Jin."
"Okay! I'll talk to Butler Kim."
Du Zhong had been following Fang Ruotang for some time and knew that she didn't like managing these trivial matters, so he didn't cause any more trouble with his fellow disciples.
However, the apprenticeship competition was never held.
Each elder had different standards for accepting disciples and their own tests. However, perhaps to give Fang Ruotang face, each elder took on more than one disciple and did their best to cooperate with Fang Ruotang's ideas, without accepting any disciples from their original sect.
The various sects were separated from each other, and their relationships became closer.
Fortunately, inner disciples hardly need any guidance from elders, and it doesn't affect their cultivation no matter who they take as their master.
Anyway, this unconventional way of taking on apprentices has a perfect effect.
When the disciples of the inner sect who have reached the Golden Core stage or above began to accept new disciples, Fang Ruotang's white teeth were always exposed, even at the risk of getting cold.
Just from this, you can tell how well the disciples in the sect cooperated. There were some whispers, but none of them reached Fang Ruotang's ears. They were all suppressed by the combined efforts of the elders.
It doesn't conform to the usual style of doing things in the Cloud Deep Continent, but what does it matter? The Heavenly One Sect isn't any other sect.
Their sect leader is no ordinary sect leader.
More importantly, it's hard to say whether this cultivation will be delayed, but it really fits the theme of disciples integrating with each other, breaking up the original small groups and establishing new networks of relationships.
Although the various sects that merged into Tianyi Sect did so for their own benefit and only joined willingly because they had something to gain, they all hoped that Tianyi Sect would grow stronger and stronger.
Therefore, among the elders, there were no ones who held back; almost all of them were people who got things done.
When the Pill Cultivation Academy was established, the Sword Cultivation Academy and the Medical Clinic were also established. However, the Talisman Academy, Beast Taming Academy, and Array Cultivation Academy did not have any elders who could take on the main responsibilities, so they were put aside.
However, Fang Ruotang didn't need to personally handle the actual implementation. After inviting people from the Tianyan Array Sect to set up the array, she went out looking radiant again.
