Seeing the tiger demon's threat, the medicine boy, who had been happy about his improved cultivation, suddenly looked displeased.
I never expected that my hard-earned cultivation level would be so easily surpassed by the other party.
For a moment, I felt a numbness in my heart.
Fang Zelin smiled at the sight and ignored the bickering between the fairies.
The tiger Demon Cultivator for so long and had been separated from the medicine boy for so long, it wouldn't be so bad as to simply eat the medicine boy.
"The matter of crafting the Law Treasure is now considered complete. However, the disciples' cultivation level is still a weakness, so I plan to refine more pills for them to use."
Fang Zelin glanced at the Pill Furnace Pill Furnace beside him; it hadn't been lit for a while.
"After refining the pills, are you just going to distribute them directly to the disciples? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Previously, the disciples had all neglected their cultivation time due to weapon crafting, so distributing pills to them in this way is understandable."
"But now that we're no longer refining weapons, distributing pills to the disciples like this might not be well-received. The various sects always teach their disciples that one cannot expect something for nothing."
Yunzi hesitated for a moment, then spoke with some hesitation.
Although Fang Zelin's actions were in preparation for a major battle in the future.
However, once this trend takes hold and the disciples get used to it, some problems may arise.
Every sect leader places great importance on the character of their disciples.
It doesn't matter if this disciple's cultivation level is low, his comprehension is low, or his aptitude for cultivation is poor.
But if one's character is flawed, that's absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing Yunzi say this, Fang Zelin thought for a moment and then nodded.
That's absolutely right.
The Daoist incantations given out before were acceptable, but distributing pills like this indefinitely isn't sustainable in the long run.
Moreover, Fang Zelin can't possibly sit here refining pills forever.
After thinking it over, Fang Zelin came up with an idea.
"Alright, I'll write down some tasks for the disciples to choose from. As long as they complete the tasks, they'll receive pills as a reward."
"The nurturing of treasures is also included in the mission. After all, it takes up the disciples' cultivation time, so there shouldn't be any problem with counting it as part of the mission."
After Fang Zelin said that, Yunzi thought about it and agreed.
This way, we can also motivate the disciples.
Some disciples prefer nurturing magical Law Treasure, while others may prefer cultivating themselves.
With this elixir, disciples nurturing their Law Treasure will not have their cultivation delayed.
"Then, gathering medicinal herbs and searching for rare treasures should also be included in the mission. And recruiting some disciples to learn alchemy should also be included in the mission."
He wouldn't be staying by the Pill Furnace all the time anymore, but pills were indeed a good thing, as they could quickly increase the disciples' cultivation levels.
If other disciples could help refine the pills, Fang Zelin could put aside pill refining and let the other disciples do it.
In any case, he should be able to afford most of the medicinal herbs.
Yunzi listened to Fang Zelin's arrangements and immediately nodded in satisfaction.
This would indeed dispel the disciples' feeling of getting something for nothing.
"Okay, then that's settled!"
Seeing that Yunzi agreed, Fang Zelin nodded as well, and then pondered how much pill reward would be appropriate for each task.
"By the way, I haven't paid much attention to things in the mortal realm since I came in. How is it there right now? Are there any demons running rampant?"
Fang Zelin was somewhat worried, as the recent refining of magical Law Treasure had caused all his disciples to gather on Jade Void Mountain.
This resulted in no one paying attention to the mortal realm, giving the demons an opportunity to take advantage.
"Some time ago, I sent disciples out of the mountains to inspect the various dynasties. They were all in good order and no unusual events were found."
Yunzi's words eased Fang Zelin's worries somewhat.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
"In that case, we only need to keep an eye on the fate of the dynasties in various regions, and then send some disciples into the mortal world when the dynasty's fate is nearing its end."
"As for the rest of the time, let the disciples focus on their cultivation."
That's how we got through it before, and that's how we'll get through it in the future.
At most, it would just add one more task to the workload: some routine tasks of patrolling the mortal realm.
Some demons secretly eat humans to enhance their cultivation and satisfy their appetites.
For many demons, humans are a delicious treat, so there are quite a few demons who steal and eat people and absorb their yang energy.
Therefore, some routine patrol tasks still need to be performed.
However, this matter is easy to arrange, so there's not much to worry about.
"Come on, help me write this."
Fang Zelin grabbed a wooden board at random and immediately started writing on it.
The content written down naturally consists of some understandings and arrangements of the task.
However, this means we'll need to build another hall later, specifically for receiving quests and rewards.
This hall also needs to be guarded daily so that tasks can be assigned, and elixirs can be recorded and distributed at any time.
This can also be included in the task.
Fang Zelin wrote down some details, including any arrangements, etc.
Yunzi was standing nearby, also began to refine the details of each part.
Having served as the sect leader of Rising Tide Valley for a long time, he could still discern many details in this regard at a glance.
After spending some time, the two roughly finalized the framework and then began to carefully refine it.
It took another half day to finalize all the details.
Fang Zelin then summoned the other sect leaders and some disciples, and began to arrange the construction of the palace.
Fang Zelin directly named this main hall the Spirit Suspension Hall.
They also brought in a large stone separately, shaved it into a large platform, and used it as the foundation for the main hall.
Thanks to the disciples' efforts, the Spirit Suspension Hall was quickly completed.
Fang Zelin also began refining pills, and all the pills he had refined earlier were taken to the Spirit Suspension Hall.
When the Spirit Suspension Hall was completed, countless disciples received the news and gathered in the Spirit Suspension Hall.
Looking at the Spirit Suspension Hall, which had suddenly been built in front of them and was much larger than their own main hall, many disciples began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"I heard that the Spirit Suspension Hall issues some missions. As long as you can complete them, you can exchange them for pills, which are all pills that can increase your cultivation level."
"Isn't it only Immortal Elder Fang who can refine pills to increase one's cultivation? I consumed quite a few pills given to me by the immortal master in the past, and not only has my cultivation not declined over the years, but it has actually increased quite a bit."
"Probably. If it's really possible to get pills, I'll definitely take on more missions later."
The disciples gathered in front of the main hall, and they began to whisper among themselves.
Although we haven't received any official confirmation, we have received some rumors.
This information was intentionally given to the disciples so that they could prepare in advance.
"Furthermore, I heard that nurturing Law Treasure will now be included in the mission rewards, and that nurturing Law Treasure for three years will yield a third-grade pill."
A third-grade elixir is one that can increase one's cultivation level by thirty years.
Then there are grades five, eight, and one hundred.
These pills were actually divided up by the disciples themselves.
The main reason is that these numbers are written on the gourd containing the elixir, so that it's easy to pronounce and easier to distinguish when calling it out.
In the process of simplification, it was referred to as grade X grade X grade.
Over time, everyone accepted this name.
"Nurturing Law Treasure for three years can yield a grade three elixir? That's amazing!"
Upon hearing this, one of the disciples' eyes lit up, and he asked with delight.
You can get elixirs that grant you thirty years of cultivation in three years—it's a win no matter how you look at it!
"If we're only talking about cultivation level, it's excellent. However, for disciples with good comprehension, they've probably already entered the Seeking Dao Mountain several times. It seems like it's a bit difficult to choose between them."
"What's the big deal? If you have the ability to enter the Seeking Dao Mountain, you can do it again in the future. When comprehending the Dao, you will inevitably encounter bottlenecks at times."
"In the long process of cultivation, monotonous practice is the norm. If one can spare some time to nurture Law Treasure, that would be extremely beneficial."
Upon hearing someone mention the Seeking Dao Mountain, one of the disciples casually responded.
In his view, spiritual practice mainly involves daily meditation.
If there are such tasks available, then of course I'll do them.
This way, one can quickly improve their cultivation level, so why not?
At this moment, more and more disciples gathered in front of the main hall, all of whom had come after hearing the news.
At this moment, it seems that all the disciples have arrived. The densely packed crowd is truly awe-inspiring.
Fortunately, Fang Zelin had specifically requested that the main hall be built larger; otherwise, it's likely that not many people would be able to enter the hall later.
"Please be quiet for a moment."
Fang Zelin arrived at the main hall at that moment, glanced at the densely packed disciples in front of him, and said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples, who had been somewhat noisy, fell silent instantly and all looked at Fang Zelin.
Each of their eyes held a hint of respect.
Immortal Elder Fang Immortal Elder Fang has been practicing his Law Treasure here for a long time, so how could there be any disciple who hasn't seen him before?
Especially considering that the Law Treasure they are currently nurturing are all crafted by this immortal master, who gathered the power of the entire immortal sect to refine Law Treasure, such boldness truly impressed them.
Most importantly, this Immortal Elder Fang actually did it!
For many disciples, even though this Immortal Elder Fang was standing right in front of them, he was still a legendary figure to them.
They are so far removed from us, an unattainable existence.
They also held them in high esteem.
"As you've all probably heard recently, the Spirit Suspension Hall Spirit Suspension Hall about to open, and its purpose is to be a place where we usually assign quests."
"From now on, any mission issued by the Spirit Suspension Hall will reward you with some pills as a reward upon acceptance."
"For example, you can come and collect the pills after completing routine patrol tasks, searching for valuable items and medicinal herbs, nurturing treasures, and many other tasks."
Fang Zelin explained the task and the elixirs one by one.
"In addition, the Alchemy Chamber needs thirty disciples to come and learn the art of alchemy. This group of disciples will be responsible for alchemy from now on."
"The Weapon Forging Hall also needs thirty disciples to go and learn weapon forging, so as to strengthen the immortal sect."
"Although the immortal Law Treasure currently possesses some magical treasures, not every disciple has Law Treasure. The immortal sect needs to refine some common magical Law Treasure and store them in the Spirit Suspension Hall for disciples to choose from."
Upon hearing this, the disciples were immediately overjoyed.
The elixirs, of course, need no further explanation; everyone understands what that means.
If they had enough pills, they wouldn't need to cultivate; their cultivation levels could increase by thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Unfortunately, this elixir is quite precious and not something that can be found everywhere like wild herbs.
The fact that everyone can receive this elixir now is good news.
And then there's this Law Treasure.
None of the magical Law Treasure they had previously crafted had been used against enemies. However, when nurturing Law Treasure Law Treasure, one could sense the immense power they contained.
Even if the Law Treasure we forge in the future aren't as powerful as Law Treasure, they probably won't be too bad either.
Just like those Demon-Slaying Gourd from before, they could easily slay ordinary demons.
They didn't even need to lift a finger.
With such Law Treasure protecting you, you won't have to worry about dying at any moment when you go down the mountain to exorcise demons.
To be honest, the probability of dying after becoming a cultivator is far too high.
In earlier years, there were basically no cultivators who could live for three to five hundred years.
They mostly perished while descending the mountain to exorcise demons and protect the righteous path.
The situation has only improved slightly now, as those predecessors have all lived for thousands of years.
Later disciples were able to live for over five hundred years, unlike in the past.
Every time a dynasty falls, eight or nine out of ten fellow cultivators perish.
However, after that, they would have to face the Devil Race.
The Devil Race are a real problem. Back then, a powerful Devil Race almost wiped out the entire Rising Tide Valley with a single gesture.
Sooner or later, the immortal sects will inevitably clash with the Devil Race race.
This was something all the disciples knew perfectly well.
The disciples were not afraid of dying; they would do anything to protect the righteous path.
But if they could survive, no disciple would willingly perish like this.
At the same time, he did not want to see his disciples, with whom he spent every day, perish and leave him one by one.
Therefore, upon hearing that a large-scale weapon forging operation was about to begin, the disciples were naturally overjoyed.
The number of disciples who wanted to participate immediately increased instantly.
