The disciples who obtained qualification successively returned to the sect, continuing to cultivate or do missions as usual.

Ye Xingchen began considering when to go challenge Heroes Gathering Rankings geniuses, advancing to higher rankings at the fastest speed.

Decided.

First break through to Wuwang.

In his view, this strength level was more reliable.

If Ye Xingchen truly started his challenge journey with Wuwang cultivation, it would absolutely be a nightmare for Heroes Gathering Rankings geniuses!

Because Jiang Shensi, ranked eighty-ninth on the Human List, after the Huashan Martial Discourse, currently had cultivation at only peak Wushi.

A reincarnated Wuwang challenging him—forget about challenging him, challenging even higher-ranked geniuses would undoubtedly be a crushing massacre!

“Ding! Ding!”

The reward notifications from disciples completing sect missions rang out every day.

At the start, Jun Changxiao had already cleared out enough contribution point space, but after the side quest completion earned 2000 points, he could only buy it all as aptitude transformation liquid.

He had already stored quite a bit of aptitude transformation liquid.

But with ten thousand disciples in the sect, this seemed like a drop in the bucket.

In Sect Leader Jun’s vision, someday, any disciple from his sect would have superior grade spiritual roots at minimum!

The dream was very grand, but there was still a long way to go.

After the disciples returned, the Iron Bones Sect once again entered a calm period. What they did every day was cultivate, complete missions, and beat the bean.

Just like this.

A month passed unknowingly.

During this period, Sect Leader Jun had been using various resources, paired with middle-grade spirit gathering arrays to cultivate. The speed was actually quite fast.

Unfortunately.

There was still some distance before breaking through to third grade.

Dual Sword and Martial Wuwang strength was extremely strong, but cultivation speed was extremely slow—this couldn’t be helped.

Unless he completed missions that rewarded experience talismans, cultivating step by step, even with natural spirit stones supplied, it would be difficult to achieve a major cultivation breakthrough in a short time.

In contrast, the Iron Bones Sect disciples had made great strides in cultivation.

The newly joined academy students, after gradually adapting to life and consuming various pills, had undergone earth-shaking changes in strength.

Especially after taking Body Shaping Pills and training in the Tempering Tower, their physical improvements were extremely significant!

Unfortunately.

The Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic that benefited them for life could only be cultivated at the Meridian Opening stage. Martial cultivators past this realm could no longer comprehend it.

Chu Xiunan, Huo Ling, and others were very satisfied.

In that moment, they finally understood why their senior brothers were so formidable!

“Hahaha!”

Huo Ling stood in the inner courtyard martial arts field with hands on hips, laughing loudly: “I’ve advanced again. Now I’m fifth-grade Wushi!”

“Tch.”

Chu Xiunan curled his lips.

Over this month, he had also broken through two grades.

If this were at Tianyu Academy, forget thirty days—even three hundred days might not achieve it!

Of course.

They weren’t cultivating for free. After gradually integrating into sect life, they would also do missions and serve as miners digging natural spirit stones.

“My heavens!”

Huo Ling, entering the mine tunnel for the first time, looking at the spirit stones embedded in the stone walls, exclaimed: “So our sect has its own spirit stone vein!”

Chu Xiunan was also shocked.

Even the wealthy Chu Family didn’t have such a spirit stone vein!

Spirit stones.

Disciples from distinguished backgrounds had all seen them.

But being inside a mine tunnel with so many spirit stones, having to dig them out by hand, was absolutely a first, absolutely a completely new and exciting experience!

“Listen well, everyone.”

Li Luoqiu transformed into the Discipline Hall Master, standing inside the cave: “Anyone who privately hoards spirit stones will suffer the cruelest punishment!”

“Yes!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

…

Over this month, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuoji, and other first batch inner sect disciples, relying on abundant natural spirit stone supply, had all broken through to peak Wuzong.

Wuwang was a watershed in the martial path.

For them to reach this level, they could only achieve it through more comprehension.

The one advancing fastest was still the closed-door disciple He Wudi.

Previously ninth-grade Wushi, he had now successfully broken through to Wuzong and advanced to fifth grade.

Under normal circumstances, he absolutely couldn’t break through so quickly, but at the Iron Bones Sect, with various resource supplies, the impossible became possible.

He Wudi was quite low-key, outwardly displaying cultivation at only ninth-grade Wushi.

However.

He couldn’t hide from Sect Leader Jun’s Brilliant Light Sunglasses.

“Breaking through to fifth-grade Wuzong in just over a month, worthy of being my Iron Bones Sect’s closed-door disciple.”

Taking He Wudi as a closed-door disciple was just fooling around, but now it seemed he’d stumbled upon the right choice.

Jun Changxiao had reason to believe that given more time to cultivate, he would definitely become the Iron Bones Sect’s strongest damage dealer in the future.

“Sect Leader.”

Elder Wei came to see him: “The new medicinal materials given previously have matured.”

“Is that so?”

Jun Changxiao hurried to the Medicine Hall, loading all the harvested medicinal materials into his spatial ring. Opening the Alchemy Pavilion, the refinable Spirit Tempering Pills numbered 1000.

One-click maximize to begin refining!

Several days later.

All one thousand Spirit Tempering Pills were completed. Because he couldn’t give one to every person, Jun Changxiao only distributed them to inner sect disciples. The remainder would be awarded based on monthly strength tests.

“Ding! Li Shangtian completed a sect mission, obtaining 30 contribution points, 30 achievement points.”

“Ding! Contribution points: 10000/10000.”

“Ding! Achievement points: 12200/10000.”

When all sect missions issued by the system were completed, all values topped out.

Look at this.

How professional Sect Leader Jun was at pinching contribution points!

After missions were completed, not one point less, not one point more—exactly perfect!

Swish!

Opening the data panel, the sect construction displayed an upgrade button.

Click!

“Ding! Sect construction upgraded to level 7!”

“Ding! Sect member, contribution point, and achievement point limits increased!”

“Ding! Sect [Cultivation Method Pavilion] activated!”

After the notification sounds ended, the system panel changed again.

Sect Name: Iron Bones Clanging Sect.

Sect Leader: Jun Changxiao.

Sect Rank: Sixth-rate.

Sect Construction: Level 7.

Sect Functions: Alchemy Pavilion, Forging Pavilion, Talisman Pavilion, Spirit Beast Pavilion, Spirit Cultivation Pavilion, Cultivation Method Pavilion.

Sect Cultivation Methods: Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic [Divine Grade Elementary], Cloud-Riding Steps [Superior Grade Elementary], Sound Transmission Technique [Middle Grade Advanced]…

Sect Members: 10000/20000.

Sect Contribution Points: 10000/20000.

Sect Achievement Points: 2200/20000.

Sect Main Quest: Within 100 years…

“Only increased from 10,000 to 20,000?”

Jun Changxiao was greatly disappointed.

In his view, it should at least increase to a 50,000 limit.

But this was also acceptable.

When filling up 20,000, he could finally muster the courage to go purchase items from the advanced shop!

Thinking about when he first transmigrated, how the advanced shop’s items were Nine Revolutions Marrow Cleansing Pills, Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, Thousand Year Ice Battle Armor and such—Sect Leader Jun’s eyes blazed with fire.

The system said: “The advanced shop requires at least that the sect reaches fifth-rate before the host is qualified to purchase.”

Damn!

Every time when he was most enthusiastically excited, you pour a bucket of cold water on him. Are you here to assist me in becoming stronger, or sent by heaven to deliberately strike me down!

“Fifth-rate?”

Jun Changxiao shrugged: “Isn’t that simple?”

With sufficient numbers and sufficient cultivation levels, the Iron Bones Sect advancing from a sixth-rate sect to a fifth-rate sect was absolutely no problem.

The urgent matter wasn’t upgrading the sect, but rather the newly appeared Cultivation Method Pavilion!

Swish!

Sect Leader Jun clicked with his mind. An independent panel appeared, and his expression instantly froze. His mouth gradually opened as he exclaimed in disbelief: “My heavens—”
