Chapter 18

[Jacob (Sanctuary Immortal Sect)

Cultivation: Seventh Realm Qi Refining

Talent: Second-Class

Identity: Outer Disciple of the Sanctuary Immortal Sect

Cultivation Technique: Ancient Eclipse (Middle-Earth Grade)

Martial Skills: Moonlight Healing (Low-Earth Grade)]

Jacob practises the Ancient Eclipse Technique, able to condense a moon within his body and use it to conduct various spells. The most powerful being the Eclipse, blocking his opponents sight.

However the Moonlight Healing Technique works perfectly with it. As long as the moon you created above you, you can use the Moonlight to heal!

''Fortunately the Sect Leader authorised me to use a drop of Spiritual Liquid. Haha with the Martial Skill given by the Deacon winning the so called Outer sect tournament is easy.''

Jacob took a deep breath, enjoying the dense Spiritual Aura.

These Caves had long been in the Sect. They are the closest to the Dragon Vein and Normans new Spiritual Core, the density of Aura is far deeper than outside.

However there are only 100 of them in the entire Sect!

Normally they are redeemable by the Contribution Hall but Norman was so excited to have a Second-Class Disciple that he gave Jacob permission to use it for the next month.

''With this cave and the Qi Containment Pills I should be able to reach the Eighth Realm of Qi Refining after the tournament!''

Jacob wasn't the only one confident of winning however.

Inside of Deacon Franklin's residence, a young girl was sitting cross-legged. In Front of her was a small blue crystal constantly pouring energy back into her body.

Scattered around the crystal were dozens of pieces of shattered Spiritual Stones.

''The Masters are really kind! All the Contribution Points from the Annual tax and disciples he brought in have been spent on materials for me.''

[Clover (Sanctuary Immortal Sect)

Cultivation: Sixth Realm Qi Refining

Talent: Third-Class

Identity: Outer Disciple of the Sanctuary Immortal Sect

Cultivation Technique: Icy Core Technique (High-Black Grade)

Martial Skills: Ice Shards (Low-Black Grade)]

''With the masters ice element crystals my Icy Core is already enough to replenish my bodies aura 5 times before it runs out!''

Competition was thriving in the Sect. Obviously those with the advantage were supported by the Deacons.

The Deacons had made a decent amount of Contribution Points from delivering Gold and treasures from the Mortal Empires to the Sect.

Also a lot of them have come back with a few disciples when they return from the outside so they stack up enough to support a Qi Refining Disciple at least.

''This is really starting to form the idea of a sect I had in my mind. After all the number of disciples who took missions in the outside world have already increased massively.''

Norman listened to the Report from Deacon Tommy and smiled.

More than Two hundred disciples rushed out into the world. Although not all of them were in the Second Realm of Qi Refining they got around it by joining into groups.

''Haha with this the mission of occupying the Broken Valley should be completed soon!''

''My cultivation can't fall behind.

A panel swiped and appeared in front of Norman.

[Individual Leaderboard:Current Rank (7th)

Sheelin-Ninth Realm Foundation-The Sect Master of the Moonlight Elves

Abigor- Eighth Realm Foundation-The Sect Master of the Hidden Abyssal Sect

Seth- Sixth Realm Foundation- The Sect Master of the Demon Blood Sect

Crainer- Fifth Realm Foundation- The Hall Master of the Heavenly Pavilion

Tannum- Fifth Realm Foundation- The Hall Master of the Heavenly Pavilion.]

''I'm ranked 7th Right now, but my strength is definitely higher than these Hall Masters. However the rest of the Sect Masters on the Leaderboard are Eternal Physiques themselves.''

Norman frowned, but he wasn't worried; all heh lacked was time in comparison to these disciples.

After all he has access to many resources like the Sign In System and the Fountain of Aura to assist him.

While it might be lucky if these Sect Masters can get some lowest level herbs only suitable for cooking with!

''But now my top combat power is catching up, the bottom Combat power should be increasing soon.''

Norman glanced through his disciples' panels with extreme satisfaction. There are more than 300 Cultivators in the Sect right now, 8 Foundation Deacons and the strongest Seventh Realm Qi Refining Disciple.

This is already enough to be considered decent in the Grade 10 Sects even before the catastrophe especially if you consider the thousands of disciples yet to even start cultivating.

''But I don't want to stack them full of medicine and pills. Without a strong foundation their combat power can't even compete with scattered cultivators at the same level! Let alone those disciples from other sects.''

''However there is one thing the Sect needs to survive.''

Norman glanced down at his hand. It was a small sheet of parchment.

{Body Refining Medicinal Bath}

This was one of the inheritances left behind by the Sect. With it you can temper your body from a young age and have your physical strength match your cultivation!

It's one of the common medicinal recipes in the sect and one of the easiest to make. But regardless of how strong a sect gets it will always be a core recipe for them.

Because it's cheap and effective.

For a Fifth-Class Talent, after using the Medicinal Bath everyday for 10 years your physical strength would be at the Peak level of Qi Refining!

Of course most people can only afford to use them once a week.

''But even if these medicinal herbs were common before, the current world's aura is far from good enough to harvest these often.''

''However it is always good to start early…''

Norman floated slightly, his body flashing, reappearing beside the Fountain of Aura. Compared to the desolate and ruined land before the aura flowing from the Fountain had rejuvenated the land!

''This is the perfect location for growing herbs, unfortunately we don't have any of the seeds to start farming. Except for one.''

Norman called over a disciple and half an hour later he had a small jade box in his hand.

Opening the jade box there was a small root.

''Grade 10 BloodRoot. One of the side materials for the recipe.''

Norman had forgotten about this herb in the treasury, only remembering its existence when he saw the recipe.

The Bloodroot is one of the most common herbs. Because it's really easy to grow. Once planted it will continue to grow its root system across the land.

As an invasive species it will literally absorb the other herbs around it if you don't harvest it often, eventually developing spiritual consciousness and even hunting people.

However as long as some disciples are assigned to trimming the root and managing it, there aren't many issues.

''There should be a Contribution Mission as soon as I order it, now is time to start growing these roots.''

Norman waved his hand and his Spiritual Aura wrapped the root plunging it into the ground.

He dug it ten metres down before letting it germinate; it immediately began to squirm around absorbing the energy in the ground to increase its size.

Satisfied with his efforts Norman returned to the Main Hall to continue cultivating.
