"Instead of wasting your time watching this show, you should be using it to train. Even a hasty but effective training can be effective," Yu Qiqi scolded the disciples.
"Hurry up and go, or do you want to get punched again!"
The disciples saw Yu Qiqi's clenched fist and ran away.
As someone ran, a voice came from the crowd, "Elder Yu, that's really violent!"
Even though Elder Yu is in love, he is still so ruthless, and he doesn't care about his image at all in front of Elder Lin.
Lin Muze took Yu Qiqi's hand and said, "Don't bother with those brats. They're just jealous of me and resentful."
His voice betrayed his undisguised smugness.
"Am I really that violent?" Yu Qiqi looked at Lin Muze.
"Of course..." Lin Muze was about to say yes, but seeing the murderous intent in Yu Qiqi's eyes, he quickly changed his words, "Of course not, don't listen to those people's nonsense, they just need to be taught a lesson."
"You're clearly just being frank and straightforward. After the competition tomorrow, we'll drag them out for a practice session and let them vent their anger for you."
Yu Qiqi nodded in satisfaction.
However, looking at Lin Muze in front of her and the hand he was holding, she felt very awkward.
She had always treated them like brothers, and this sudden change in their relationship was quite disorienting for her.
Lin Muze was still immersed in joy when he pulled Yu Qiqi outside. "Qiqi, let's go tell Sister Yan and the others about this."
Yu Qiqi stopped her, saying, "Wait a minute, Sister Yan is busy right now. Do you think everyone is as free as you? Don't bother her."
"You're right, I'll listen to you," Lin Muze said.
"I'm used to you teasing me, so seeing you so obedient all of a sudden is a little strange." Yu Qiqi touched the tip of her nose. "Keep it up."
"You should listen to your wife."
"Who's your wife? Don't call me that!" Yu Qiqi glanced at him lightly.
"Sooner or later, I just love calling her 'Wife! Wife! Wife'!"
Yu Qiqi pounced on him and covered Lin Muze's mouth.
While they were flirting and teasing each other, Ruan Xiyan was nearing the end of refining the Divine Essence Pill.
The elixir took shape, its patterns engraved, and a fragrant aroma filled the entire room.
Tinghe watched in awe. Whether it was the master's control over the flames or his manipulation of mental power, he had reached a level of mastery through practice.
Watching the Lord concoct medicine is a true visual feast.
Ruan Xiyan opened the alchemy cauldron, and about ten refined Divine Marrow Pills lay inside.
She put the Divine Essence Pill into a bottle and looked at Tinghe, who was staring in disbelief, beside her. "How do you feel?"
Tinghe shook her head. "My lord, I am not very bright, and there are still some things I am not clear about."
"It's alright, you'll understand after watching it a few more times," Ruan Xiyan said, continuing to refine the Divine Essence Pill.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened. Ruan Xiyan put away the last pills in the alchemy cauldron.
Tinghe's eyes were full of contemplation. "My lord, I'll go down and digest this properly."
It's one thing to see clearly the Lord's alchemy techniques, but it's quite another to be able to do it like the Lord.
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
After Tinghe left, Junyu looked at Ruan Xiyan and said, "Ayan has finished refining it."
"That's about enough." Ruan Xiyan stretched her arms. "It's enough for tomorrow's competition to select a group of outstanding disciples."
"Now that it's over, let's take a rest." Jun Yu pulled Ruan Xiyan to sit down on a chair, then walked behind her, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently massaged her shoulders.
"Ayan, how much force did you use?"
Feeling the just-right pressure, Ruan Xiyan closed her eyes in enjoyment, "Perfect."
"That's good." Jun Yu said with a smile.
The following day, the competition among the disciples of the Illusionary Concealment Sect officially began.
All the disciples were gathered in the arena; there were probably five or six hundred of them.
Under the watchful eyes of her disciples, Ruan Xiyan sat down in the main seat on the high platform.
Although many people saw Ruan Xiyan at the martial arts arena yesterday, some people have not seen her yet.
They waited eagerly, and finally Ruan Xiyan took her seat on the high platform. Naturally, they craned their necks to look in that direction.
On the high platform, besides Ruan Xiyan who was sitting, there were also Lin Muze and Yu Qiqi, who were in charge of this competition.
Seeing the curious gazes of the disciples below, Ruan Xiyan used her spiritual power to amplify her voice throughout the entire arena, "I suppose many of you have already seen me before."
"However, I would still like to get to know you all again here. My name is Ruan Xiyan, and I am the sect leader of the Illusionary Concealment Sect."
"You are all disciples of my Illusionary Concealment Sect. As long as you are devoted to the sect, the sect will not treat you unfairly."
"Although our Illusionary Concealment Sect is only a minor force now, you will have just as many resources as other sects, and may even have more."
Jun Yu stood in the crowd, gazing at the dazzling and spirited Ruan Xiyan on the high platform, his eyes filled with tenderness.
The disciples were deeply moved by Ruan Xiyan's words.
The sect leader's words are indeed correct. The Illusionary Concealment Sect treats its disciples very well, which is unmatched by many other sects.
Moreover, everyone is treated equally here, regardless of their background, talent, or ability.
As long as they pass the sect assessment test set by the Illusionary Concealment Sect, they can become disciples here.
Furthermore, disciples who perform well in the monthly competitions can receive precious elixirs.
Even middling forces wouldn't reward their ordinary disciples with precious pills every month.
Ruan Xiyan's imposing gaze swept over the disciples below before she continued.
"Of course, the sect is not a charity. We have provided you with resources, and we hope that you can work hard to cultivate and contribute your strength to the better development of the sect."
"If I find out that you are wasting the sect's cultivation resources, harboring wicked thoughts, and idling away your days, then don't blame me for being ruthless," Ruan Xiyan said sharply.
A combination of firm and tactical approaches is the way to manage effectively.
Be kind when you need to be kind, and establish authority when you need to establish authority.
The powerful spiritual energy she inadvertently emitted made the disciples present feel a tightness in their chests, as if an inexplicable pressure was enveloping them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The disciples, who had been somewhat lax in their posture, immediately straightened up and said in unison, "We will follow the teachings of our sect leader."
What exactly is the sect leader's strength? She looks aloof and cold, like a delicate beauty.
They did nothing, yet they felt a chill run down their spines and were overcome with immense pressure.
It seems that their sect leader's strength is unfathomable and beyond their comprehension.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. To become the sect leader of the Illusionary Concealment Sect at such a young age, and to have the other elders listen to her so obediently, she must have extraordinary abilities.
