After reaching the soul refinement realm, Li Tian received a notification in his ear, informing him of a new mission of epic grade one. The mission was to elevate GMS to a level eight sect within three months by recruiting a thousand disciples, with a hundred of them reaching the soul realm.
Upon hearing this, Li Tian wondered how he would be able to find the remaining nine hundred disciples. He decided to seek guidance from Lee Yuri, who had been informed by the sect leader about the requirement of nine hundred disciples. Lee Yuri suggested organizing a requirement within the sect, but in order to attract students, they would need to collaborate with the Yinjing country head and the city heads.
The next morning, Li Tian set off to meet the Quoining city head to discuss a plan on how to approach the other city heads. Upon meeting Li Tian, the city head mentioned that the country head was a free-spirited individual who enjoyed traveling. However, if Li Tian required it, they could arrange a meeting with each head from the ten main cities, as well as the elders responsible for the towns under their jurisdiction.
An invitation was sent out for a meeting, and to Li Tian's surprise, more than forty people, including the city heads and elders, gathered in the meeting hall of the city head office. Li Tian introduced himself as the head of GMS sect and expressed his intention to recruit disciples in each city and town of Yinjing country, providing eligible students with the opportunity to learn martial arts. The city heads and elders agreed to support his cause and inquired about the date for the requirements in each city. Li Tian informed them that the requirements would be held on the sect mountain the week after the following day. With that, the meeting concluded.
Throughout the week, preparations were made, including the purchase of additional Inquiry stones. It was decided during a meeting that there would be no discrimination against students, and the selection of the nine hundred disciples would be based on their spiritual roots. The top nine hundred disciples would be chosen this time.
In just one week, a few of the previous disciples, with the aid of available resources and proper training, have already advanced to level two in the Qi cultivating realm. Furthermore, some have even managed to reach the third level.
Min Mung and Li Jiang Tang recently arrived to discuss the acquisition of fire for the fire department. This department requires fire for both pill-making and casting purposes. Out of the twenty-five members, ten are skilled pill makers, while eleven possess casting qualifications. In order to proceed with their training, they must obtain fire from the fire core. For casting, they require fire from a level three beast core, while pill makers need a special earth or heavenly fire.
Unfortunately, this issue has caused a delay within the sect. To address this, Li Tian approached the system for assistance. The system confirmed that the students could purchase special fire from the student mall for a value of one hundred, and Earth Fire for a value of five hundred. However, in order to obtain these fires, they would need to complete several tasks.
All twenty students assigned to the fire department were instructed to gather and learn that the casting members needed to earn a value of one hundred, while the pill-making students had to earn a value of five hundred to obtain the required fire. The tasks assigned to each disciple were relatively simple, such as searching for various herb plants in the back mountain range. As a result, all twenty-one disciples were diligently completing their tasks in a hurry. Once gathered, the plants could be placed in a special box located in the management hall. Each plant possessed a unique value, which would contribute to the overall value required. After three days, the fire department would have enough fire, and the remaining four disciples would also complete the task of obtaining fire for their martial arts or sword arts practice.
On the day of recruitment, several elders were assigned to oversee the process. Five elders took their seats, accompanied by a management worker and elder disciples from the sect who would assist them.
Within a few hours, with the guidance of the elders, the sect's requirements were met. They successfully accumulated thirty mid-grade spiritual roots, three hundred with normal roots, and the remaining with ordinary roots.
