Chapter 311: Changes in the sect

Lin Fan sat inside the cave, cultivating hard. This was the most boring activity for him.

Since he lacked twenty million experience points, he needed to cultivate hard for another month or two.

~It would be great if I could come across something like the pill god again, so I'd be able to get tons of experience points instantly. But what are the odds?~

~All I can do now is slowly cultivate. I need to break through to Heaven Star Border stage Five soon. I can only fight the true elites when I understand my own laws.~

A few days later.

Lin Fan panted heavily. He couldn't take this anymore; it was too boring. Thus, he picked up the Tai Sovereign sword and killed himself. He continued to focus on cultivation after he recovered to his best state.

The Magnificent Flame Sect. As usual, it was bustling with activity. Many disciples could be seen leaving the sect on a journey while a constant stream of disciples returned from their trips.

Thanks to the Invincible peak, disciples were now able to cultivate faster. Breaking through to the Earth Star Border realm was now something even ordinary disciples in the sect could achieve.

Especially the disciples from the Invincible peak. Due to Lin Fan's teachings, they were kind and helpful towards their sect mates and juniors. As a result, many disciples would prefer to travel with Invincible peak disciples. They could rest assured that they would be safe from betrayals, which was once a norm.

The invincible peak disciples disdained such actions. The endless pills packing task meant they were no longer be greedy for pills. The sight of pills even made them feel nauseous now.

The sect's main palace. Many disciples were chatting with each other.

Did you notice that the pills given out by the sect seem different now?

Their effects are stronger. A disciple pointed out.

Yes, the effects are now stronger. It seems that our pharmacologists have improved.

It's all thanks to the frog from the Invincible peak. It refines pills very well, and our pharmacologists have greatly improved after being taught by it. I heard that recently, Pharmacologist Chen managed to make an Earth-class pill without any help!

That's great! I remember that Pharmacologist Chen was previously only capable of making mystic-class pills in the past, and they weren't that good either. That's such a huge improvement.

The disciples said, gathering together to discuss the changes that had taken place recently. You could easily see the changes in the pills.

One pill now could easily match the effect of two pills from the past. The disciples were elated with this improvement.

The other six peak leaders had finally come back; why did they leave again in such a hurry? Did they go on a trip?

Yeah. They left on a trip. I saw with my own eyes that they returned as Heaven Star Border Stage One cultivators and were called out by a few elders for a talk. After that, they stayed at their peak for a few hours before leaving in a hurry.

Haish, they are still too far away from Senior brother Lin. They must have left on another trip to improve their cultivation. However, it's been too long since Senior brother Lin returned to the sect.

Senior brother Lin is very hardworking. He still goes on trips despite being so powerful. What reason is there for us to be lazy in comparison? Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to get an Invincible peak disciple to go on a trip with me.

Nowadays, Invincible peak disciples were popular choices as trip partners, especially Wang Fu. His talent in cultivation has now made him known as a top talent in the Invincible peak.

Or one of the talents. A few other talented disciples from the invincible peak also cultivated and picked up skill sets rapidly.

Ordinary disciples couldn't notice, but the elders could.

In the main palace.

The nine elite elders were currently having a meeting with the patriarch.

Huo Rong, who was in charge of the sect, smiled from ear to ear after noticing the positive changes taking place to the sect.

Dear sect brothers. This is great news. Recently, there are a total of about 16 000 disciples who have reached the Earth Star Border realm.

How magnificent is this scene? I wouldn't even dare to imagine it in the past!

Huo Rong was so excited that he raised an eyebrow.

That's much more than the previous year. Elder Ge Lian gasped. Ever since Jun Wutian betrayed the sect, he was no longer rooting for any disciples. Like Huo Rong, he focused on the sect as a whole instead.

The patriarch watched them with smiles.

All of you should thank my disciple. If not for the pills that he gave out, why would there be so many disciples showing such improvements?

Tian Xu, don't give all the credit to your disciple. It's also because of the aura from the energy of life that I congealed which improved their health.

Junior brother Gu Mu, aren't you worried that boasting will injure your waist? This is just a hologram of you. Take care that boasting might use up too much of your energy, making your hologram disperse.

What's more important is that amongst the inner disciples, 15 have reached the Heaven Star Border realm, and 109 have broken through to the Earth Star Border Stage Nine.

If Huo Rong didn't collate the statistics personally, he wouldn't have believed it. Too many changes had taken place to the sect.

Even the patriarch couldn't believe his ears.

What's going on? This is so strange.

Senior brother, isn't the strange scene right in front of us? Look at the Invincible peak. Tian Xu laughed.

He raised a finger as a circular screen was formed in the air. On the screen, they could see the Invincible peak being covered in Earth energy clouds. It was an unusual scene.

This.. The crowd gasped. This couldn't be formed by anyone.

The Dark nether python on the peak is quite extraordinary. It absorbs earth energy and emits it in the form of gas. It helps the earth energy become more potent. Didn't you realize that many inner disciples go to the Invincible peak to cultivate? That's the reason.

So this is it. The elders said, shocked. This was unexpected.

Not just that. Huo Rong waved his hands. I have no idea where Lin Fan got them, but he managed to get his hands on a few special skill sets, which have helped those disciples reach the Heaven Star Border Realm.

What skillsets?

The group asked in shock. Normally, they stayed in their peaks to cultivate. They rarely pay attention to the things going on in the sect as Huo Rong's was in charge of things normally.

The most honorable skillset, Ceramic glazed body, Silent heart skillsets, and many more that are unique and rare.

Hahaha! Instantly, Tian Xu burst out laughing. I didn't expect my disciple to be this generous. We used to make the disciples work hard for what they need, but my disciple gives them access to things for free. I'm impressed.

But how could he do that? Skillsets are the most important thing in a sect. If others know about this. Ge Lian said.

Tian Xu waved his hands. Skillsets are dead, and humans are living. We both used the same skill set in the past, but have you ever been stronger than me?

Ge Lian's face changed when he heard Tian Xu. ~ He's so annoying. Why does he keep bringing up the past?~ Ge Lian thought as he looked away, ignoring Tian Xu.

Senior brother's disciple is really a treasure. Did you see the frog? Our pharmacologists address it as teacher frog. Their skills are getting better too, and our homemade pills are slowly becoming more popular amongst the disciples.

Maybe we'll finally see the sect doing well before we pass on.

Huo Rong said excitedly. He felt that it was possible.

We have visitors. Just then, Tian Xu spoke.

At the entrance.

A group of weirdly dressed people could be seen walking over. Among them stood a woman whose face was swollen to a ball, and anger could be seen all over her face. Many disciples fled in fear as soon as they saw them.

Yin and Yang sect's Kim Hwawol is here to ask for an explanation from the Magnificent Flame Sect. Elder Kim shouted loudly. She was trying her best to contain her anger.

Tian Xu came over instantly.

So it's the Yin and Yang sect's elder Kim. I wonder what brings you here. Tian Xu said, putting on a calm expression. He knew that the Yin and Yang sect had a skillset that could change their looks or parts of their body. However, the success rate wasn't 100%, and failures might happen.

~It's obvious that skill set failed her. Seriously, why bother when you should just focus on cultivating?~

Kim Hwawol greets elder Tian Xu. Today, I'm here to ask for an explanation. Elder Kim said. She didn't dare act presumptuously in front of Tian Xu.

Kang Bihyun and the rest looked around the sect. They realized that despite not being as scenic as their sect, the disciples who passed by weren't weak compared to them.

~Wasn't the Magnificent Flame Sect said to be a weak sect?~

Explanation? What explanation does Elder Kim need? Tian Xu said in confusion.

I'm here to find Lin Fan, who's from your sect. He beat me up until this state. I would like to ask for the reason regarding this. Unable to hold her anger, Kim Hwawol spoke normally, but you could hear the anger in her tone.

Who's that? Tian Xu asked calmly.

Hmm? Kim Hwawol looked at Tian Xu in a daze. She didn't expect such an answer. She knew that the Magnificent Flame Sect would definitely cover up for Lin Fan, but she didn't expect such a reply from Tian Xu.

Elder Kim, there are many cases nowadays where people pretend to be our sect disciples and commit crimes. I have never heard of this Lin Fan you are talking about.

However, I will definitely punish the culprit if I come across him for committing crimes and pretending to be a disciple from our sect.

Tian Xu said. ~Why did he get into trouble again? Why can't he kill him and hide the bodies? Nothing would go wrong then.

So he's a fake disciple? Elder Kim said after a pause.

Yes. A fake disciple. Tian Xu said nonchalantly as if it was the truth.
