The establishment of the Medicine Hall marked another step forward in the Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s professionalization.

Of course.

There was still a long way to go.

Jun Changxiao needed to proceed while exploring his path forward.

Then, slowly adding in the essential elements that every sect must have, gradually perfecting and expanding.

Though this road was destined to be long, he was full of confidence, because I have the system cheat!

With the Ai Family handling the Xiao Family’s pill and medicinal ingredient industries, and Li Luoqiu taking charge of dealing with the mine vein.

Jun Changxiao was free and at ease, beginning to focus his thoughts on martial cultivation.

After buying the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, it made him deeply realize that his peak Martial Disciple strength was utterly worthless. Right now, he had to break through quickly.

How to break through?

He could only complete the epic quest.

Because if he didn’t complete it, his realm would remain suppressed.

“This is really damn frustrating.”

Jun Changxiao opened the data panel and clicked on the epic quest details, murmuring: “The quest still has over thirty days remaining—there’s enough time to prepare.”

This type of quest requiring him to kill large numbers of fierce beasts in a mountain valley was absolutely a large-scale dungeon. He had to bring quite a few disciples along.

“Sect Leader.”

While he was pondering, Li Qingyang entered the study and said: “There are many people outside who have come to register.”

“How many?”

“At least five or six hundred.”

“Quite a lot.”

Jun Changxiao wasn’t surprised that so many people had come to register for the sect.

After all, having defeated the Haoran Gate, any intelligent person would surely realize the Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s potential.

“Let’s go.”

Jun Changxiao stood up and said: “Let’s go recruit disciples.”

……

“Creak.”

The tightly closed gates of the Iron Bones Clanging Sect were pushed open.

Jun Changxiao stepped out, and before he had even descended the stairs, several hundred youths surged forward like a tidal wave, clamoring noisily to join the sect.

Many of these people had seen the recruitment announcement a month ago and had thoughts of joining.

Why were they only coming now?

Because when they told their parents about their idea to join the Iron Bones Clanging Sect, they were mercilessly shut down.

The reason being: offending the Hundred Sects Alliance leader and even issuing a battle challenge to the Haoran Gate—joining such a sect was tantamount to seeking death.

You couldn’t blame those parents.

The Hundred Sects Alliance and Haoran Gate were like colossal giants in Qingyang Commandery. Who would dare take the risk of sending their children into the tiger’s mouth?

Now it was different.

Jun Changxiao had led his disciples to severely defeat the Haoran Gate, using strength to prove the Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s might.

A sect that was once unranked seemed to have suddenly risen, even possessing the ability to arm-wrestle with sixth-rate sects. This was definitely a stock with potential!

Many far-sighted parents not only agreed to their children’s decision, but personally escorted them to the mountain gate, praying at the foot of the mountain, hoping their children would be accepted into the Iron Bones Clanging Sect.

What a pity.

Many parents were destined to be disappointed, because the Iron Bones Clanging Sect only had 260 spots remaining.

“Form a line, one at a time!”

Li Qingyang directed the order as over five hundred youths lined up neatly, undergoing interviews one by one.

“What’s your name?”

Jun Changxiao inquired of the first youth who came to register.

The youth, probably too excited, stammered: “Re… Reporting… Sect Leader… I… I…”

Jun Changxiao said: “Straighten out your tongue before speaking.”

“Exhale!”

The youth took a deep breath, controlling his excited emotions and said: “Re… Reporting to Sect Leader, my name is Yin Zhiping!”

Jun Changxiao said: “From the Complete Reality Sect?”

“Complete Reality Sect?” Yin Zhiping looked bewildered and said: “I’ve never joined a sect before!”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said: “Xiao Longnu was ruined by someone with your name. Go on, the Iron Bones Clanging Sect isn’t suitable for you.”

Not accepting someone just because of their name—recruiting disciples really was done however he pleased!

This incident tells us that even in another world, choosing a name is something requiring great technical skill!

“Next.” Jun Changxiao said.

A youth with proper features approached, politely saying: “Sect Leader Jun, my name is Lin Jianghang.”

Jun Changxiao looked him over, took an admission form, filled in the name and stamped it with the great seal, then pointed behind him: “Go on in. Someone will receive you.”

“Thank you, Sect Leader!”

Lin Jianghang bowed, and amid the envious gazes of the other youths, strode into the Iron Bones Clanging Sect.

He didn’t ask anything—just stating a name and being admitted. It seems I still have a good chance!

“Someone came in, someone came in!”

Su Xiaomo, sitting on the training grounds with a piece of grass in his mouth, said: “Xiao Fei, you’re up!”

“Okay!”

Li Fei kicked powerfully, and the Happy Soccer Ball traced an arc through the air.

Lin Jianghang, who had just walked in, hadn’t even had time to look around the Iron Bones Clanging Sect when the Happy Soccer Ball smashed into his face with a “bang.”

“Not bad.”

Su Xiaomo said: “Being able to withstand one of Xiao Fei’s kicks without falling—he should have some ability.”

Testing with a soccer ball—how ingenious!

Outside.

Jun Changxiao had no idea that Su Xiaomo and those bastards were using a soccer ball to kick the newly admitted disciples. He took out another admission form and said: “What’s your name?”

The youth said: “My name is Cui Bujian.”

“Smack.”

He stamped it with the sect’s great seal and said: “Go on in.”

This fellow really only cared about whether someone caught his eye. He didn’t ask about spiritual roots or cultivation level—just asked names before recruiting!

“Bang!”

Inside the Iron Bones Clanging Sect, Cui Bujian, who had just entered, likewise suffered an attack from the Happy Soccer Ball, then crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

Su Xiaomo was dumbfounded: “Is he that weak? One kick made him vomit blood!”

“That…” Li Fei scratched his head and said: “Senior Brother, I didn’t control my strength well just now. That kick had at least a thousand pounds of force.”

“Huh?”

Su Xiaomo’s eyes widened, then with a “whoosh” he rushed over, picked up the wildly bleeding Cui Bujian, and frantically rushed toward the Medicine Hall!

“Sun Bukong, emergency treatment, quick emergency treatment!”

……

As long as someone caught Jun Changxiao’s eye, he would accept them into the sect. In a very short time, over five hundred youths had all completed their interviews.

Two hundred sixty people joined the Iron Bones Clanging Sect; the others were eliminated.

No choice.

There were only that many spots—accepting everyone was impossible.

After disciple recruitment was completed, the data on the system panel showed the sect membership was now a full 500, and contribution value had increased to 720, with an overflow of 220 points.

It would automatically clear after 24 hours, so without hesitation Jun Changxiao bought four bottles of aptitude modification liquid at different tiers to leave for Su Xiaomo and the others to consume.

As for the remaining 20 points, he planned to refresh the shop tonight when he had time, to try his luck and see if he could refresh any good items.

“Ding! System has detected membership is full and requirements are met. Sect quests activated.”

Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together and opened the data panel.

The sect quests changed from “none” to—”Sect quests available, click to view details.”

He clicked to view.

Rows upon rows of quests appeared on the small data panel.

The sect quests that appeared numbered roughly over a hundred. Sect Leader Jun found it somewhat dizzying to look at.

Possibly due to sect construction and sect level improvements, among the newly appeared quests, those with one-star recommendation indices were few, the majority being two-star, with several three-star quests as well.

One star represented one contribution value point, two stars represented two points.

Jun Changxiao estimated that if he had the disciples complete all the quests, the achievement value should be maxed out, and then he could upgrade construction and unlock more functions.

But!

Publishing these many quests one by one would be too troublesome!

The system said: “Host can refresh the shop. With good luck, you might refresh a quest bulletin board that would allow disciples to claim quests on their own.”
