Chapter 26: One Year Plan
Chen Wentian always prided himself in his preparation but he was caught with his pants down in Lin Qingcheng's situation. It could have gone very badly if she couldn't breakthrough, perhaps even left completely crippled. It was one of the few moments in his life he had no control and it left him quietly distressed and introspective. Luckily, his isolation barrier held around the room or else everybody would have found out about their sticky situation.
Chen Wentian stayed the entire night with her, checking over her body to make sure everything was alright. He secretly left before she woke up and then went to see her again after she got dressed. Lin Qingcheng seemed to have transformed and grown up overnight. She lost a bit of baby fat and her curves became more pronounced. Her temperament also seemed to improve a little, carrying herself with much more grace. Breaking through to the Mind Focusing Realm at her age was simply astounding! Who knows, maybe she'll be able to break through to Spirit Initiate soon!
"Morning Master!" She bowed and kept her head down, too embarrassed to look at him after the things they did.
He held her and lifted her chin up, giving her an reassuring smile. "Qingcheng, I'm so proud of you. Last night's matter, It was all my fault, I'm really sorry."
"No Master! I don't blame you at all! It was amazing and wonderful... finally being so close to you. I'm really... really grateful... " Her face became red as a tomato as she thought of something, "Master... I think I'll still help with my cultivation..."
"Of course!" Chen Wentian laughed as he kissed her gently, "But, you can't mention this to your junior sisters." Lin Qingcheng nodded her head seriously in agreement.
At the morning meeting, Lin Qingcheng's breakthrough shocked both Zhou Ziyun and Wu Qianyu immensely. They both immediately asked Chen Wentian for assistance in their training. He also felt a headache about the situation as it wouldn't be good for him to show favoritism. The degenerate within him simply wanted to 'train' Lin Qingcheng every single night but he had to preserve his image as a respectable master.
After the excitement of the breakthrough, daily life in the Ten Thousand Flower Valley fell into a steady rhythm. He would give one-on-one training with a different disciple every night. During the day, he would spread his attention around towards everybody.
Regarding Lin Qingcheng, he was really quite shocked that she wasn't able to beat up a few mountain bandits with barely any cultivation. Thus, he focused on her lack of martial arts and real combat experience. He would lower his power and spar with her to teach her the proper movements of the Nineteen Demon Subduing Palms. Her comprehension ability was like an ape and it constantly drove him crazy. It was the complete opposite of her cultivation speed, which steadily crept towards the 2nd level of Mind Focusing Realm. His thought that a conservative goal for the grand sect competition in a year would be for her to get to 10th level of Mind Focusing so she could simply overpower people.
Zhou Ziyun made steady progress under his watch. Her training seemed the polar opposite. She was intelligent, hardworking, and a problem solver. She was able to master another two palms in quick succession. He had high hopes she would be able to master the entire martial arts and break into the Mind Focusing Realm within a year. The Nineteen Demon Subduing Palms had a domineering name, but even more tyrannical power. It would easily allow her to challenge people many levels above her.
Wu Qianyu was an interesting case. He had an inkling that her body held some secret similar to Lin Qingcheng. How else would she be able to attain 5th level of Spirit Initiate at a local sect with no legacy or resources. He couldn't figure it out in such a short time so he could only guide her step by step.
While Chen Wentian and his disciples trained diligently, the construction of the sect continued at breakneck pace. In the blink of an eye, many weeks passed and the sect was completely finished. The final touches were all completed, including the decorations and furnishings, which Zhou Ziyun's clan took care of wonderfully. Well manicured flowers, rocks, and plants adorned the sect grounds. There were paintings, vases, carved wooden furniture and other decorations arranged in the rooms and hallways. It all looked very impressive.
Now, there was only one last step left, officially starting his sect! He gathered his three favorite girls in the great hall. He released his majestic blue spiritual energy to the maximum as he imbued the hall and the entire sect with his spiritual signature.
"Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian, hereby officially establish Ten Thousand Flower Valley. May it grow and prosper for a hundred thousand years. With heavens as witness, I name Lin Qingcheng, Zhou Ziyun, and Wu Qianyu my founding disciples. It is the greatest honor I can bestow, will you receive it?"
"Yes Master!" They bowed in unison. Chen Wentian withdrew three identical white jade badges and sent them floating into their hands. The sect badge contained an intricate carving of a water lily, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and rebirth.
The girls let their emotions show as they laughed and cried. Chen Wentian's heart also filled with a similar happiness. He finally created his dream sect that had only female disciples!
