The Chapter begins where the previous one ended—Shaurya sits on his throne, examining the rewards in his system interface. He taps the Medicinal Garden reward and asks the system how to activate it.
System: "To activate the Medicinal Garden, you must go to the location where you want it built and say the word ’Build.’"
Shaurya nods. "System, build the garden in a suitable place in the sect on your own."
Shaurya chuckles. "System, please."
A burst of grand light erupts somewhere in the sect. Shaurya shrugs and walks to his room.
"I’ll check it tomorrow," he mumbles before falling asleep.
The next morning, Xiao Lian rushes into the main sect hall where Shaurya is calmly reading a book.
"Master! There’s a weird garden-like land in the courtyard filled with spiritual energy!"
Shaurya smiles. "So, you saw it before me."
She tilts her head in confusion.
Shaurya stands up. "Let’s go."
They reach the courtyard where Wang Tian and Xiao Rui are already standing. Xiao Rui looks curious, while Wang Tian is visibly shocked.
"How’s it going?" Shaurya asks casually.
They both greet him with respect.
Wang Tian: "Master, what is this place? It has immense spiritual energy... and some unusual herbs."
Shaurya, lying confidently: "It’s our sect’s Medicinal Garden. I personally created it last night."
System: You were sleeping like a Snorlax host!
Wang Tian stares, speechless.He thinks. There’s something deeper about this sect master. Choosing this sect might have been the right decision.
Shaurya inspects the garden and is thrilled to find the spiritual energy density and a type of herb—20 in number.
"System, what is this herb?"
System: "It is the Oran Herb. Used for making high-quality healing pills. This world has never seen such quality before."
He then turns to his disciples and hands over bottles containing Qi Enactment Pills to Xiao Rui and Xiao Lian. Both are delighted.
Wang Tian, however, looks puzzled.
Shaurya: "Use one pill every hour. Ten pills—ten hours of cultivation. Go."
Wang Tian is still uncertain, but after observing Xiao Rui and Xiao Lian’s confident faces, he nods and joins them for cultivation.
Later, Shaurya walks to the border of the sect where the Demonic Beast Valley begins.
"System, I want to learn the Dragon Fist technique."
System: "Then learn it. Who’s stopping you?"
Shaurya blinks. "System, please."
The technique is downloaded into his mind. Suddenly, a massive Griffin appears and charges at him. Shaurya reacts swiftly, using the Dragon Fist.
A powerful dragon spirit emerges from his fist, completely erasing the Griffin and causing large-scale destruction.
"Whoa! I’ve become stronger!"
System: "You’ve gained 10,000 EXP."
Shaurya: "Only 10,000?"
System: "Killing beasts doesn’t grant much EXP. They’re not your enemies, just hungry creatures."
Shaurya nods and heads back to the sect.
Back on his throne, he asks the system for his disciples’ current levels:
Xiao Rui: Qi Initiate Level 8
Xiao Lian: Qi Initiate Level 11
Wang Tian: Qi Refiner Level 1
Shaurya: "Xiao Rui has worked really hard."
"Ok then use these EXP to level me up.
System: "You are now Qi Refiner Level 3."
Shaurya smiles, picks up a book, and starts reading.
Two days pass. The remaining disciples arrive—13 in total. Shaurya steps out to welcome them.
8 at Qi Initiate Level 3
4 at Qi Initiate Level 4
1 at Qi Initiate Level 5
Shaurya: "Impressive. Not bad at all."
He instructs them to choose their rooms and after that come and meet me in sect main hall. Later, all 16 disciples gather in the main sect hall.
Shaurya, seated on his throne with a book in hand, distributes the Dragon Fist technique.
Shaurya: "This is an Immortal-level technique. Train hard."
Everyone is shocked. They have never even seen such a high-level technique.
Wang Tian is deeply shaken. I’ve seen some Immortal-level techniques and j had one in my past life... and I think master is just..... What ? He is shocked when he oepn the book... It’s it’s Realllll.
In disbelief, he vanishes from the hall.
The rest of the disciples thank Shaurya and leave.
System: "Lazy host, have you forgotten your task? You must recruit 50 disciples within four days. You now have 22 hours left. Current disciples: 16/50."
Shaurya, stunned: "I forgot?! How will I get 34 disciples in 22 hours?!"
He thinks quickly. Wait, I destroyed the Jade Fire Sect. That must’ve made me famous in the city. I can use that.
He rushes out of the hall and finds Wang Tian standing near a rock. Suddenly, Wang Tian uses the Dragon Fist and shatters the massive rock.
Wang Tian: "I, the Great Emperor Wang Tian, will rise again! Hahaha!"
Shaurya: Handling this guy will be tough...
Suddenly, some guards arrive with a prominent figure—the City Lord.
Shaurya greets him respectfully. Wang Tian notices and remains quiet.
The City Lord glances around in awe.
City Lord: "I didn’t expect the leader of the Sanatan Flame Sect to be so young."
Shaurya: "Thank you for your kind words."
City Lord: "You’ve destroyed the Jade Fire Sect, the strongest in the city. From today, your sect holds their position. Here is your reward: 2 lakh spiritual stones, some weapons and artifacts recovered from Jade Fire Sect, and 10,000 gold tales."
City Lord: "I hope you won’t misuse this power like they did."
Shaurya: "Don’t worry. I follow Dharma and heroism."
The City Lord doesn’t know what Dharma means but assumes it’s similar to heroism and nods.
Shaurya: "I have one request. If it’s not too much trouble... could you please arrange a disciple ceremony quickly? I need to recruit more disciples."
City Lord: "Oh? Consider it done. I will arrange it within one or two hours."
Shaurya bows slightly. "Thank you, City Lord."
