Chapter 599: Start of the Lecture~
“Actually, we wanted to talk to you about something regarding the construction of the new sect…”
“Something regarding the construction of the new sect? Did something perhaps happen to the elders that were going to oversee the construction? Maybe there was a problem with the resources needed for the construction?” Hearing what Shu Yao said, Xuan Hao could not help frowning as he thought something serious might have happened for both Zu Fei and Shu Yao to come to him for this.
After all, Zu Fei and Shu Yao were not really getting along with each other in normal circumstances… Yet, they had come to him about something regarding the construction of the new sect… It could easily be imagined how serious things would be for both of them to come to him like that together!
“”…”” Seeing Xuan Hao serious expression as he waited for one of them to respond, Shu Yao and Zu Fei could not help smiling a bit wryly.
From Xuan Hao’s expression, they could clearly tell that he thought something had gone wrong and that was the reason why both of them had come to talk to him. After all, most normal problems could be solved by them.
If something could not be solved by them…
“Elder Xuan, it’s not as serious as you think! We just wanted to know when you plan to set up the formation so we can begin building on the Shattered Star Peak and at the same time!”
“I see… I think I will start setting up the formation after this lecture finishes, as I have already gathered the required materials for its construction.” Nodding his head with a suspicious expression on his face, Xuan Hao answered Zu Fei who had asked him after a short silence from her and Shu Yao.
“That’s great! Then we will get going, we still have to make sure everything is ready for when the construction of the new main sect officially begins!”
“Yes, we have to inform those elders to hurry up with the gathering the remaining resources needed!”
Whoosh~
Before Xuan Hao had a time to say anything, both Shu Yao and Zu Fei had disappeared from the hall, as he could see both of them rushing out of the sect and towards the Shattered Star Peaks through his divine sense.
Not only that, but Shu Yao had also grabbed a few confused elders relaxing in a small tea shop with her domain, as she carried all them through the air in the direction of the Shattered Star Peaks.
The confused elders in question, did not seem to have expected this to happen, as all of them showed a scared and confused expression on their face upon suddenly finding themselves several hundred meters in the air.
“…”
Not knowing what to see upon witnessing this, Xuan Hao decided to look the other way and not get involved in whatever Shu Yao and Zu Fei were planning. For now, his only worry was the lecture that he was going to hold in a few minutes.
…
As the last few minutes of the time limit, he had set for the young disciples passed, Xuan Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the close to fifty young boys and girls patiently sitting in front of him. Patiently waiting for the lecture to begin.
“Hm?”
Looking around the hall, it did not take long for him to see those who had just arrived still breathing in and out with exhausted expressions on their faces. From a glance, it was obvious that they had not had enough time to recover from the exhausting journey to the hall.
Fwoosh~
Feeling that it would not be a good idea to begin the lecture with close to half of them in such an exhausted state, Xuan Hao directly used his domain to attract the qi between heaven and earth and helped guide it into the bodies of all the young disciples-
“Wha-!? How did my qi recover so fast!?”
“Me too, I suddenly feel like I’m full of energy again!”
Helping them recover from their exhausted state and return to their peak condition in an instant.
It was not something difficult to do, as the young disciples were only in the Qi Condensation Realm. Helping them recover the qi they had used and have them return to their peak state was simple considering how miniscule the amount of qi was present inside their dantian at their current realm.
“Thank you for your help, Elder Xuan!”
“””Thank you, Elder Xuan!”””
Having realized the one behind their swift recovery, one of the disciples stood up before bowing in the direction of Xuan Hao as thanks, which was quickly followed up by the rest of the disciples doing the same.
“Haha, it was nothing, can’t have half of you about to collapse from exhaustion when I’m about to start my lecture.” Signalling for the disciples to sit down after saying this, Xuan Hao suddenly felt fifty pairs of eyes locking on to him, as all of them grasped the fact that the lecture was about to begin from his words.
The feeling of fifty young disciples staring at him at the same time with an expectant look in their eyes was new. Even if there were more than his first lecture in the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao wanted to smoothly complete the lecture and hopefully help the young disciples increase their strength.
Of course, this included Bai Ning sitting beside him listening to his lecture fully focused on everything he said.
“Good, first off, let’s start with the Qi Condensation realm…”
Taking a few seconds to adjust to the looks he was given by the young disciples; Xuan Hao began his lecture on the Qi Condensation Realm and how they could increase their chances of successfully entering the Foundation Establishment Realm after reaching the Peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Before long, Bai Ning and the rest of the disciples listening were completely absorbed in the lecture.
…
“We arrived too late…” At the same time that Xuan Hao had begun his lecture, the disciples made it to the hall too late could not help collapsing on the ground from exhaustion.
They understood very well that there was no chance for them to join the lecture now that it had already started. In the end, the disciples who arrived late could only blame themselves for being too lazy during the first few months of entering the Flying Sword Sect and not cultivating enough… Something rather normal among most of the ordinary disciples who entered the Flying Sword Sect, as they got used the Flying Sword Sect and spent most of their time exploring what would become their new home for years to come.
Well… Not really years to come, as the Flying Sword Sect would be moving to the Shattered Star Peak where they would merge together with Spring Flower Sect.
In the future, the current Flying Sword Sect would most likely end up as a major branch of the sect. After all, there was no way Feng Chen, Elder Song and the rest of the elders would just give up the foundation that had been built up over hundreds of years. The Spring Flower Sect would be the same, as Shu Yao and her elders would also like to keep their main sect active as a branch after moving to the new main sect.
“There is nothing we can do about it… Hah… Let’s just get some water and wait for the lecture to finish. Maybe we can some guidance from Elder Xuan if we are lucky…” Shaking his head with a helpless expression on his face, another young disciple plopped himself down on a wooden chair located next to the entrance of the hall that the lecture was taking place.
“”…””
The rest of the disciples who had slowly begun arriving in more and more numbers in front of the hall with exhausted expressions on their faces felt that it made sense.
After all, they could not just return. At least they had to wait for the lecture to end and hope that Elder Xuan would at least give them some guidance to them.
It would not be too weird if he did, as most higher-level elders who held lectures would make sure that none of the disciples who participated in the tournament or test, they arranged left empty handed.
Mainly because it would leave a bad impression on the elder in question if he ended up not giving something to the disciples who had tried their best.
In a sense, it was a participation award… Nothing too amazing, but still something that would make it worth it for the disciples who did their best during the test or tournament arranged by the elder.
Elder Song was especially known for this, as the participation rewards for his tournaments and other events, were by far the best… One of the things that helped him reach his current level of fame in the sect.
