Having experienced the alchemy incident, You You realized that their sect had many problems that urgently needed to be addressed. In particular, there was a severe shortage of logistical support personnel, such as healers.
"Sect Master, we have received requests for help from three nearby kingdoms. Most of them are caused by demonic beasts, and they hope we can send disciples to suppress them," Ling Qi reported while flipping through the records in his hand.
"The Three Kingdoms?" You You was taken aback. "Isn't it Fengtian?"
Ling Qi explained, "Sect Master, although our sect is located within the territory of Fengtian Kingdom, there are no other immortal sects nearby. Therefore, it's not just Fengtian Kingdom; neighboring countries also seek our help." Moreover, immortal sects have a responsibility to protect mortals in the vicinity, so it's normal to receive requests for help.
Is this a lot of aid?
Ling Qi glanced at the record. "There are about thirteen urgent issues that need to be addressed. There are also some areas that require further investigation to determine the specifics."
Youyou became even more anxious, "Thirteen places, can we send so many people?" Their whole families are children!
"Sect Master, rest assured." Ling Qi said calmly, "There are many disciples in the sect who have already established their foundation. According to the rules of the immortal sect, disciples should go out for trials after establishing their foundation. This is to solve local problems and to train their combat skills."
“But, I’ve only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage…” You You was a little worried. Is it really okay for someone to be so fragile at the Foundation Establishment stage?
"Sect Master can rest assured about that." Ling Qi explained while flipping through the records, "Most of the troublesome demonic beasts we received were around the third or fourth rank. Although these are difficult for ordinary people to deal with, they are sufficient for Foundation Establishment disciples."
"Then... let's send them for the trial!" You You nodded, feeling like a mother sending her son off to university. "Tell the brothers to take good communication talismans so they can send a message back to the sect in case of any problems. Also, if they encounter a situation they can't handle, retreat is the priority. And... aren't there many life-saving magical artifacts in those treasure vaults? Give some to the brothers too, safety first!"
"Sect Master, rest assured, all these arrangements will be made. I will ensure that all disciples return safely." Ling Qi nodded, already accustomed to his sect master's habit of treating the disciples like children. He flipped through the booklet again and said, "There are two more matters that require the sect master's decision."
"There's more?!" Running a company is really tough.
"Firstly, various countries have petitioned our sect to inquire when it will be able to open its doors and accept disciples. In particular, Fengtian is within our territory, and it is a common practice for our sect to select disciples there."
"Take more?!" You You was taken aback. The sect already had hundreds of disciples eagerly awaiting guidance, and it was difficult to support them all. Taking more would only exhaust them. "This isn't urgent. We can talk about it later."
"Okay." Ling Qi didn't continue. He knew the sect's situation best, and generally, newly established immortal sects would develop for about ten years before they would start accepting disciples. It was indeed a bit early now, so he continued to report the next question, "More than a dozen disciples in the sect have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage and may be about to establish their foundation soon. We need to refine Foundation Establishment Pills as soon as possible."
"Another Foundation Establishment Pill..." This is the downside of lacking a healer. The formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill isn't hard to find, and the sect's alchemy disciples can also refine it, but the pill is used so frequently. The sect often needs someone to establish their foundation, and the disciples' refining speed can't keep up with the demand, plus there's no one to guide them. The alchemists often fail when refining this pill.
Although they have the auspicious blessing of Yuan Qi, they can't have him guarding the alchemy room every day. Besides, alchemy can't rely entirely on luck; one's own true strength is also very important. So unless absolutely necessary, Yuan Qi generally won't wander around the alchemy room.
"Sect Master, Daoist Kui said he could help refine a batch, which should be enough for this group of disciples to reach Foundation Establishment!" Ling Qi reminded him.
"Wet Nurse Kui?" You You was startled. "Isn't he going to... oops, didn't he say he was going to refine pills to cure Shuiyan and the others' hidden ailments?"
Ever since meeting Shuiyan, Wei Bi has been staying at the Zhenyan Sect, refusing to leave. He no longer wants top-grade spiritual plants, nor does he care about comprehending the Dao of Alchemy. Especially after learning that the Bone-Forging Pill was meant for Shuiyan and the others.
He also proactively suggested that rebuilding one's foundation with Bone-Forging Pills alone wouldn't be enough; it would also require the Spirit Restoration Pill to fully recover the injuries to their original state. There were also Spirit-Sculpting Pills to replenish spiritual energy, Body-Strengthening Pills to fortify the physique, Rhinoceros Pills to ensure clear consciousness, and Beauty-Preserving Pills to nourish and beautify the skin…
He produced a huge pile of pills in a flash, his tone suggesting he would buy up all of Shuiyan's pills from now on. After speaking, he glanced at Shuiyan, his gaze filled with tender affection and unwavering devotion, as if the entire hall was permeated with the fresh and unique fragrance of a single person.
From then on, he devoted himself to the alchemy room and began to work hard to refine all kinds of pills, even using his own spiritual plants.
Anyone with eyes could see who he was targeting with his actions. Youyou had also asked Shuiyan, who confirmed that Mingyan was indeed her former name. But she... genuinely didn't remember anyone named Weibi.
In other words... this whole thing was just one-sided love on Kui Bi's part.
╮(╯﹏╰）╭
Since the other party was so enthusiastic and offered to help, she had no reason to refuse. She simply asked Shuiyan to help out when she had time, perhaps by handing over some spiritual plants. But it's only been less than three days, and he's already finished refining all those pills he listed?
“Kui Daojun’s list hasn’t been finished yet, but he didn’t have enough spiritual plants, so…” Ling Qi explained. He originally wanted to continue refining, but he was reluctant to return to Qingjing Valley, so he had to stop. “After learning that the sect urgently needed Foundation Establishment Pills, he said he could help. However… he is about to form his Nascent Soul and may need to undergo the tribulation in the sect. We need to set up the formation in advance.”
"He's about to form his Nascent Soul?" You You was taken aback.
"Yes, he's about to break through, it should be in the next day or two." Ling Qi nodded, then added, "Sect Master, tribulations are generally dangerous, especially for those with high cultivation levels. That's why most cultivators undergo tribulations under the protection of their sect. Kui Bi's decision to undergo his tribulation here shows he genuinely wants to join our sect." Moreover, once he forms his Nascent Soul, he'll likely advance to a seventh-tier alchemist, or even higher, which is a good thing from any perspective.
Youyou's lips twitched. Are you sure he genuinely wants to join, or just wants to pick up girls?
"Alright! You can handle this. Discuss the formation with Father Yuan."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Ling Qi nodded and continued, "There is one last important matter. Lin Feng and Yin Fan have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. Perhaps they will be able to form their cores after returning from the trial. At that time, they will have to choose a cultivation method. I wonder how to decide on this matter?"
"Huh?!" You You was stunned for a moment. "What's a mental cultivation technique?"
Stop coming up with new terms all the time!
