During the sect's construction phase, the Tian brothers had already distributed the Yoga Sutra to each student. The disciples diligently practiced every day, taking full advantage of this construction period.
After the completion of the construction, Li Tian gathered all the students in a spacious area for a meeting. He proudly showcased a collection of space rings on a table, each accompanied by a personalized name tag. One of the tags bore Quan Ning's name.
The sight of the space rings left several disciples in awe, as they discovered that only families with a level of eight or higher were providing their children with such items. The Tian brothers were equally amazed by the abundance of space rings they had received. They couldn't help but think about how pleased their father would be to know that they had joined this sect. Li Tian's fair treatment of everyone had a profound impact on all those present. He mentioned that the sect uniforms were stored in the space rings and from now on, members would be required to wear them when visiting other sect facilities in the mountains, excluding the student dormitories.
After delivering the rings, Li Tian guided the students to a vast mountainous area spanning approximately twenty-five square miles. Nestled in one corner of this expanse was a room-like structure, strategically placed for their convenience. Li Tian informed the students that this room housed valuable items that could greatly assist them in their training.
As the students entered the room, they were greeted by a spacious environment divided into different sections, each designated for a specific purpose. Among these sections were modern structures, unfamiliar to this world but recognizable to Li Tian, as they resembled the equipment commonly found in gyms on modern Earth. However, the system clarified that although the products were similar, their applications differed.
Treadmills were positioned in the speed improvement section, weights were allocated to the body improvement section, and a unique machine with multiple appendages was situated in the defense section. Li Tian elucidated that the speed section aimed to enhance movement, the body section aimed to increase weight capacity, and the hand section aimed to augment punching power. The defense section, equipped with its distinctive machine, was designed to fortify the body's defensive capabilities.
To ensure efficient utilization of the resources, each student was assigned to a specific section for a duration of three hours. Furthermore, each section could only accommodate a maximum of ten students at a time. Consequently, the students were required to collaborate and manage their training schedules collectively.
In just a matter of days, a small faction of disciples had already reached remarkable levels of seven or eight in the realm of physical cultivation, marking an exceptional achievement within the body refiner stage. During this time, Li Tian chanced upon a concealed chamber belonging to an ancient sect, where he stumbled upon a collection of superior-grade stones known as spirit stones. Rumored to number in the tens of thousands, these precious stones brought immense benefits to the GMS sect.
Recognizing the need for efficient management, Li Tian made the decision to enlist an accountant for the sect, along with a group of elders who would oversee the library and casting hall. Furthermore, he sought out a highly skilled herbalist to meticulously care for the cultivation of herbs. In addition to this, he aimed to assemble a dedicated team of workers who would ensure the kitchen was well-maintained and the sect remained spotlessly clean. These individuals were aptly referred to as sect keepers.
At the sect, a major breakthrough was on the horizon. In just a few weeks, the most talented students would be reaching the peak of their physical training. During this crucial time, Min Mung approached Li Tian with an extraordinary prescription for a pill that would greatly enhance their progress. However, while they were discussing this, Li Tian overheard some students talking about their current level of Qi refinement. It suddenly dawned on him that the basic Qi collecting pill recipe, which only cost 10 points, would be the perfect solution. Without wasting any time, Li Tian seized the opportunity and purchased it, eagerly turning to Min and asking, "Elder Min, do you truly believe this recipe will make a significant difference?"
Min, a prominent member of the sect, wholeheartedly approved of the pill recipe proposed by Li Tian. With this approval, they could now travel to Syialus town in the Rainbow Kingdom to gather the remaining materials required for the tasks they had already completed. Li Tian, a level three herbalist with a captivating background, was generously rewarded with 50 points upon joining the system. This reward added to the sect's impressive total of one hundred fifty-five members, which included the head elder, students, and several other dedicated individuals.
The sect's funds were made accessible to the sect's accountant, who also made mention of Yun's Auction Pavilion, a renowned global auction house. To assist him in his tasks, a team of five highly skilled workers was provided.
Within the kitchen staff, there were five members from the Zu family, accompanied by two young children. They received support from ten proficient workers who specialized in cooking.
Two workers were assigned to the Pill Hall, and Li Tian purchased five cauldrons for them from the system mall, costing 35 value points.
A team of approximately twenty workers was given the crucial responsibility of maintaining and cleaning the sect's surroundings, including the care of the trees. An experienced and wise individual was appointed as their leader to guide them in their duties.
In the female student area, there were only a few female workers assigned, while on the opposite side, there were merely ten male workers.
The esteemed elders were each bestowed with a spacious ring, surpassing that of the students. They were adorned with a unique red and yellow cloth, exclusively designed for them. Li Tian's clothing consisted of red and white, while female disciples wore pink with black, and male disciples wore blue with black.
The workers were also given a personalized cloth that denoted their role within the sect and the specific hall or location they were associated with.
The Tag, a fascinating object that appeared to have been borrowed from a distant era, took the shape of a bronze rectangular structure. One side featured a graceful curve and displayed the name of the sect, while the opposite side provided detailed information about the workers. A slightly different but equally impressive wooden structure served as a tag for the workers. They were astonished to discover that this wooden tag was crafted from rare redwood, a material so valuable that it held the worth of a hundred paper notes.
In contrast, the elders' tags were crafted from exquisite silver, symbolizing their esteemed position within the sect, a distinction bestowed upon them by the system. The sect leaders, on the other hand, were honored with opulent gold tags adorned with intricate platinum carvings. These tags represented the esteemed rank of the sect leaders, a recognition granted to them by the system.
Every mountain and hall had been conquered. A designated open mountain was dedicated to the cultivation of herbs, while a mountain valley was chosen as the site for the sect examination arena.
The elder joining system granted a total of 200 value points, resulting in a cumulative count of 153 points.
Afterwards, Li Tian decided to explore additional products and utilize the 53 value points on these items. Among his findings was a Qi meditation guide, a highly effective tool for enhancing the Qi accumulation process, priced at 25 value points. Additionally, he came across an Elemental Qi Analyzer, which offered valuable insights into an individual's elemental Qi and their connection to natural forces like fire, ice, and lightning. This analyzer was priced at 16 value points.
With these purchases, Li Tian's expenditure reached a significant milestone in the sect's development.
Li Tian, along with Min Mung, Zi Jiang, and Wao Wei, led a team of six diligent assistants on their expedition to Syialus. They had upgraded their carts to accommodate greater weight and volume compared to their previous journey. Their objective was to obtain the necessary herbs for pill production and acquire seeds for cultivating these herbs to meet future demand.
