Alex and Wan Li walked over to Ma Rong's room and joined the meeting.
"Alright, everyone is here right?" Ma Rong asked as she looked around and nodded to herself seeing everyone there.
"First of all, let us celebrate us reaching the 1st grade as a sect. Congratulations to everyone who helped make it happen," Ma Rong said and started clapping.
Everyone followed and soon there were smiles and cheers amongst the disciples. Now that they were a 1st-grade sect, they had a better reputation in the land and more young folks would decide to join the Hong Wu sect leading to them joining the sect.
"We needed 523 points to enter the first grade, and from what I calculated… we have actually reached 594 points as of today. The alchemy competitions helped, but the rest of you who took poison, formations, and talisman competitions also helped quite a bit."
