General-born Xue Rengui was definitely more suitable than Li Luoqiu for serving as Wolf Cavalry Hall Master. After all, the latter was suited to training assassins, not wolf cavalry resembling battlefield combat units.

Of course…

Wolf Cavalry Hall needed to develop, but Drizzle Rain Hall also needed development. After all, its existence wasn’t primarily about training assassins, but cultivating more intelligence personnel.

“Hall Master Li.”

Inside Drizzle Rain Hall’s main chamber, Jun Changxiao took a sip of tea. “We already have informants in all eight cities of Qingyang Commandery. Next, this Sect Master plans to continue expanding, ideally covering surrounding commanderies as well.”

“Click—”

Li Luoqiu loaded an AK47 magazine and took aim. “Then the Sect Master needs to provide more people.”

A seductive, alluring woman wielding an AK47—the image was truly aesthetic.

Honestly…

Facing such a charming beauty with an excellent figure every day, if Sect Master Jun could remain composed, he was either a true gentleman or… well, you know.

“Would a hundred be enough?”

“About right.”

Li Luoqiu picked up the AWM sniper rifle, playing with it fondly.

“You select the personnel.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Make sure to train them as quickly as possible and deploy them throughout the surrounding commanderies.”

“Mm.”

After discussing business, Li Luoqiu smiled. “Sect Master, accompany me for target practice?”

“Sure.”

Sect Master Jun agreed quite readily.

Rat-a-tat-tat!!

In the back mountain’s open area, Li Luoqiu, wearing form-fitting red clothing that perfectly displayed her figure, held an AK47 and fired away.

Due to the recoil, her chest bounced continuously—truly a magnificent sight.

“Sect Master.”

After firing a full magazine, Hall Master Li holstered her weapon and smiled. “Though this gun’s power isn’t particularly great, it can fire continuously, which seems quite nice.”

“Hmm?”

“Sect Master, why is your nose bleeding?”

“No… nothing…”

…

After watching Li Luoqiu practice shooting, Jun Changxiao wiped his nosebleed and returned to his study, then skillfully opened the Basic Shop.

Last time it refreshed, he had bought the AK47 and hadn’t looked further, so naturally he needed to continue browsing.

“Hmm?”

An item in the fourth row caught Jun Changxiao’s attention—named the Seed Nurturing Pool.

Clicking on the description…

Item: Seed Nurturing Pool.

Description: A high-tech seed cultivation item.

Function: Any seed, after soaking in the nurturing pool for two hours, can increase growth speed by two times after planting. (Note: Grain seeds can also increase yield.)

Price: 200 Contribution Points.

“Wow!”

Jun Changxiao exclaimed in surprise, “This is an excellent item!”

Cultivating medicinal ingredients for refining Wushi Pills required three months. After soaking in the nurturing pool for two hours, growth speed would double—wouldn’t that mean it could be completed in a month and a half?

And Qi Gathering Pill ingredients!

If they could also be improved, wouldn’t the time be reduced from half a month to seven or eight days!

Buy it!

“Ding! Host spends 200 Contribution Points and receives Seed Nurturing Pool ×1, delivered to spatial ring.”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 4712/5000.”

The Seed Nurturing Pool resembled a bathtub filled with a strange liquid. The color was grassland green, emanating an aura of vigorous vitality.

Jun Changxiao tossed the medicinal ingredient seeds for refining Qi Gathering Pills inside. After soaking them for two hours, he went to the medicine garden. “Elder Wei, I have a batch of special seeds here. Please plant them first.”

Special seeds?

Elder Wei took them and, sensing the aura emanating from the seeds, his expression changed. “Sect Master, these seeds are of extremely high quality!”

Very high, indeed!

Elder Wei, who had planted medicinal ingredients for so many years, had never seen medicinal seeds with such a weighty aura!

If described using martial cultivation levels, they were definitely supreme grade!

Elder Wei hastily selected a particularly excellent medicinal field and planted the several hundred seeds one by one.

The next day, the seeds had actually sprouted!

Elder Wei said incredulously, “This growth speed is one day faster than before!”

From two days to sprout to one day—this made him realize that if planted, the speed would be twice as fast as before!

Elder Wei could also make medicinal ingredients grow faster, but the drawback was that the seeds couldn’t absorb sufficient nutrients, causing the medicinal ingredients’ spiritual energy to weaken.

The same was true for ingredients used in refining Wushi Pills.

Speed was possible…

But it required sacrificing spiritual energy intensity.

However…

When Elder Wei carefully observed the spiritual energy attributes contained in the sprout tips, he discovered that not only had the spiritual energy not weakened, but it was actually stronger than what he had previously cultivated!

“Inconceivable, inconceivable!”

Even the well-informed Elder Wei was shocked by these special seeds.

“How are the results?”

In the afternoon, Jun Changxiao came to inquire.

Elder Wei said solemnly, “Sect Master, these special seeds have a growth cycle of at most seven to eight days, and the spiritual energy intensity after maturation is also very high.”

“Is that so?”

Jun Changxiao smiled.

Seeds that could rapidly grow into medicinal ingredients with high spiritual energy intensity would undoubtedly allow disciples to break through cultivation levels more quickly.

Jun Changxiao installed the Seed Nurturing Pool in the Medicine Hall, with Elder Wei in charge of soaking them before planting.

After finishing these tasks, Li Luoqiu came to see him, presenting a list of one hundred selected members to join Drizzle Rain Hall. Some didn’t have particularly high cultivation, but they were quite clever and suitable for intelligence work.

…

The Spirit Gathering Formation was improved, seeds were improved—next was to wait for disciples to break through cultivation levels more quickly.

As for our Sect Master Jun, having no time to cultivate himself, after finishing everything, he set off for Huyang City once more.

He wanted to obtain more seeds for medicinal ingredients used in refining Wushi Pills for the Medicine Hall to cultivate.

Speaking of which, fortunately there were Experience Talismans and other supplementary items that allowed Jun Changxiao to rapidly advance his cultivation. Otherwise, being busy with sect affairs all day, it would be very difficult to find time for peaceful cultivation.

“Sect Master Jun.”

At the Ai Family Medicine Store, Ai Shangni handed over a spatial ring. “The medicinal ingredients on the list are very difficult for Ai to find, but there are plenty of seeds available.”

“How much?” Jun Changxiao asked.

“They’re not worth much. Consider them a gift to Sect Master Jun.” Ai Shangni smiled.

“How could I feel good about that?”

Jun Changxiao said with his mouth, but still felt good about accepting them.

However, before leaving, he left behind fifty Basic-Grade Healing Pills and twenty Body Forging Pills.

After leaving the medicine store, Sect Master Jun also visited the Tiegu Beast Feed Shop, inquired about business operations, and only then returned to Tiegu Sect.

With seeds for refining Wushi Pills obtained, Elder Wei began large-scale soaking and large-scale planting. The medicine garden’s area also needed expansion, extending from the original hundred acres to five hundred acres.

“Rumble, rumble—”

Poor Wild Boar Peppa released earth-element attributes, continuing to reclaim and expand the land. Because it had been under such high-intensity labor recently, its body had slimmed down considerably.

However, it also became increasingly robust—at least it no longer resembled a lazy, gluttonous pig.

…

Three days later.

Li Qingyang made his routine report. “Sect Master, all junior brothers and sisters have broken through to Wutu.”

New disciples, relying on various resources, successfully entered Wutu. Throughout the entire Tiegu Sect, except for Yao Mengying who didn’t cultivate martial dao, everyone was uniformly Wutu level!

Moreover, having experienced transformation through Body Forging Pills, the Body Forging Chamber, and the Training Tower, all were far from ordinary Wutu cultivators.

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin. “It’s time to open the mountain gate and continue recruiting disciples.”
