The Strongest Sect of All Times

Chapter 56: the disciples rewards

Jun Changxiao had arranged more than 20 disciples with missions. Besides the few that had a fixed time limit, the other ones just had to meet the completion requirement. 

Oh, that was right. 

The next day, the disciples continued to Qingyang Village to do their tasks. 

Jun Changxiao sat in the Main Hall and received the system notifications one after another, the sect achievement and contribution points slowly increasing. 

Because the mission recommendation indices were mostly one or two stars, the rewards were also only one or two points. 

Jun Changxiao did not care about the number of contribution points, but focused on the increasing sect achievement. That was because as long as this increased, he could increase the sect's construction level and open other functions. 

Another day passed. 

Soon, it was already the fifth day. 

As evening approached, Lu Qianqian, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and the others returned. 

All 20 missions had been completed. 

The contribution and achievement points were:

[Sect Contribution Points: 70/100.]

[Sect Achievement Points: 36/100.]

After more than 20 missions, the achievement points had reached 36. This was because there were many which were only 1 point. 

Jun Changxiao exchanged all of the disciple contribution points for Qi Gathering Powder. 

Su Xiaomo was the first to complete his task. Jun Changxiao had already exchanged for a Wooden Sword and Qi Gathering Powder for him, but was waiting to reward all the disciples together. 

The next day. 

Jun Changxiao summoned all the disciples. 

Given that Lu Qianqian and the others have accomplished their missions, they will be rewarded with Qi Gathering Powder.

Qi Gathering P0wder?

Many of the disciples glanced at each other in confusion. 

Jun Changxiao explained, After you take this, your speed of condensing spiritual energy will be two times faster. The effect will last for six hours.

Seriously?!

The disciples stared wide-eyed.

They had all heard of supplements to improve spiritual energy absorption, but it was usually only available in those rich and powerful sects. But their dirt-poor Ironbone Unyielding Sect also had it?

Jun Changxiao placed the twenty bottles of Qi Gathering Powder on the table and instructed, Each bottle has a name written on it. Disciples who have completed a mission can come find theirs.

Li Qingyang and the others walked up one by one, eyes twinkling as they searched for the one with their name. 

Increase absorption by two-fold. To the ordinary, this was absolutely the best cultivation aid!

Zuiji, Jun Changxiao called out. Why did you not take yours?

Xiao Zuiji stood in place, voice filled with bitterness as he spoke, Sect Head, I have not reached the Meridian Opening Realm and am unable to absorb spiritual energy. Give my share of Qi Gathering Powder to a senior apprentice brother that needs it.

Shua!

With a swish of his sleeves, Jun Changxiao tossed the Qi Gathering Powder. This is your reward, you must take it even if it is useless. If another disciple wants it, they must complete a mission.

Xiao Zuiji caught the bottle. I understand.

Su Xiaomo.

Here!

In light of your excellent performance, this Lord will reward you with a weapon.

Su Xiaomos eyes brightened. 

However, after he received the Basic Wooden Sword, the corners of his mouth twitched. Sect Head, this sword is a little light

Jun Changxiao smiled. You can test out its strength.

Oh, okay.

Su Xiaomo walked out to the training ground and used his 4th Stage Meridian Opening strength to execute a sword move. 

Shua! Shua!

Ribbons of sword qi filled the area. 

Lu Qianqian secretly observed, The quality of this wooden sword isnt weaker than a superior low-grade sword. 

Ah!

Su Xiaomo poured spiritual energy into the sword and slashed at a rock outside the field. There was a bang and the rock was crushed on the spot. 

Oh my god!

So powerful!

The quality of this sword is by no means ordinary!

All the disciples exclaimed in shock. 

Su Xiaomo, who had seen the swords might, was ecstatic. Many thanks, Sect Head!

He was born from a poor background and had poor aptitude. That he could obtain such an excellent weapon was not something he ever dared to imagine!

Qingyang. Jun Changxiao then took out a Basic Cold Edge Sword. You have been handling many sect matters these days, this sword is a reward for your hard work.

After the Hundred Sects Recruitment, Li Qingyang had taken a liking for the Cold Edge Sword. Jun Changxiao had not handed it to him then, wanting to see his performance later on. 

Today, he bestowed this sword, indicating that Li Qingyangs performance had been excellent. 

He had rebuilt the sect, helped the junior apprentices in cultivation, and even prepared food. This type of disciple was more like a chief steward; of course his performance was extraordinary!

Li Qingyang stepped forward and took the chilling Cold Edge Sword. Excited, he said, Many thanks, Sect Head!

Jun Changxiao glanced at the other disciples and said, As long as you wholeheartedly contribute and diligently cultivate, you will receive resources, weapons, and martial skills!

Yes! the disciples cheered together. 

Liu Wanshi, who was sitting in the cafeteria, had her chin in one hand as she muttered, When can I become an Ironbone Sect disciple?

After dismissing the disciples, Jun Changxiao called Xiao Zuiji to the Main Hall and inquired, How is your progress with the Tendon Altering Sutra?

Regarding this disciple, he was pretty concerned. Although it had been a few days since he had entered the sect and had integrated well, there was always this dispirited air around him.

Xiao Zuiji said, Reporting to Sect Head, I have not comprehended it.

Jun Changxiao comforted, Everything should be taken one step at a time. Do not worry and take your time.

Xiao Zuiji replied, Disciple is very diligent!

Can you talk about your past? Why did your cultivation and spiritual root degenerate? asked Jun Changxiao. 

Pain flashed through Xiao Zuijis eyes. The past was like a nightmare to him. 

Jun Changxiaoo saw this and said, Its okay if you dont want to talk about the past.

Hu! Xiao Zuiji took a deep breath and slowly explained. Disciple managed to open all twelve meridians and gathered the qi to attack the Martial Apprentice Realm. However, I failed and fell into a coma. After waking up, my cultivation and spiritual root had disappeared.

Was there any pain or unusual feeling?

No pain or weird feelings.

When you were in a coma, was there taking care of you?

Disciple was in closed-room cultivation, there was no one around.

Jun Changxiao dismissed Xiao Zuiji and sat alone in the Main Hall, pondering this situation. It is possible to be anxious when breaking through to the Martial Apprentice Realm. Failure is also very normal. But losing cultivation and spiritual roots are a bit fishy.

Was it possible that the boys body contained the spirit of some old grandfather? [1]

No, that wasnt right. If he had the grandfather spirit, only the spiritual power should have been absorbed. How did the spiritual root also disappear?

It couldn't be that he was poisoned or had it stolen, right?

Jun Changxiao thought about all the novels he had read and made a list of all the reasons the main character would turn into a wastrel. The more he thought, the more confused he got. Finally, he simply decided to stop thinking. 

At present, it is more important to enhance his strength. I hope that the Tendon Altering Sutra will help him reach the Meridian Opening Realm.

The next day. 

The disciples arrived at the training area for routine cultivation. Many of them were happy, as after taking the Qi Gathering Powder and cultivating for an evening, they had broken through to a higher stage. 

After arriving at the sect for less than two months, they had actually increased two stages. Unbelievable!

But it was too early to celebrate. 

That was because Jun Changxiao brought them over to the Basic Qi Gathering Array, which had double the spiritual energy inside. 

The disciples were almost jumping with joy. 

Lu Qianqian did not care much about the Qi Gathering Powder, but was secretly shocked as she looked at the array. Sect Head even knows how to arrange a Qi Gathering Array?

The array will open every seven days, twenty people per ground, enter in turn to cultivate for two hours, Jun Changxiao said. 

[Ding! The array has been activated, 1 contribution point has been consumed.]

[Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 69/100.]

Lu Qianqian stepped into the array first. Feeling the doubled spiritual energy inside, she found it hard to stay calm. He actually knows how to set up formations!

Li Qingyang also walked in and exclaimed, I didnt expect Sect Head to be a Formations Master!

[1] This is a reference to Battle Through the Heavens. The MC of BTTH, Xiao Yan who Xiao Zuiji is based on loses his cultivation for 3 years because its stolen by the spirit of Yao Chen
