Chapter 34: The Last Sword Sect [7] (1/2)

Ju Feng brought out his parchment and began writing down permutations of materials. Only if he could actually make his own legendary sword. He remembered the phoenix feather sword of his mother, and the white wyvern sword of his grandfather.

Letting out a deep breath, he put his parchment away and finished the rest of the turtle meat and lily tubers. Subsequently, he closed his eyes and started meditating using soul serenity technique, activating the inner peace. The following day, the grand elder would be addressing the new disciples at the main hall. He would sleep early to wake up early.

The next day, all the new disciples gathered in the main hall where they would be addressed by the grand elder. They just finished exchanging greetings among themselves when the grand elder arrived.

”Good morning to you all. It's been around a week since you became a member of the Last-Sword sect. It's our tradition to give each new disciple one heavenly root spirit pill and two golden fountain medicinal pills, a week after the admission. This is to allow any new disciple with a change of mind time to leave. Any disciple who stayed after a week has all the possibilities of staying, that's our belief. These pills are the traditional welcoming ceremony for new disciples. You are now true Last-Swords”

He signalled the elders of the houses who then monitored the acolytes in distributing the pills accordingly.

”These pills are some of the treasures of our sect for you to use. This is the reason we asked for our new disciples' levels to be from the Lianchi stage to the Ningchi stage. It is very important that you take the heavenly root spirit pill before you reach the Zhuji stage. It will help you form a perfect foundation for your subsequent advancement. These were just a sample of what we have in store for you all.”

The grand elder nodded after seeing their happy faces.

”And as you already know, more greater benefits await those who endeavour to carve a path for themselves. Every step you take is on the path. Hence, I ask you, are you ready to take the steps? Study hard and train harder, and everything will be in your hold.”

He raised a finger to calm them down.

”Now that we have that settled, there is a sect competition, once every three months from sect resumption. This competition determines the members of the inner and core disciples. Don't get me wrong, there's no difference among our members. All our members are very important and unique. This competition is only extra motivation for you. Already, there are many great benefits of being a last-sword, but if you want to go extra mile for yourselves and for the sect, then you need to be ready to participate.”

He paused for a moment, then continued.

”And in general, as a sect, we will be assigning some tasks to you, and after their completion, you will be rewarded accordingly. As we prepare you in the study hall for the conjecture , we will also prepare you in the field out there. Out there, is where you put all you have learned in the study hall to the use. Remember, there are many benefits you get from doing all these. Thus, I say again, study hard and train harder.”

After receiving a loud shout of acknowledgement, he concluded his speech.

”Go and enjoy the day.”

The new disciples were streaking out of the massive main hall, when two of the new house of light disciples came up to Ju Feng.

”Ju Feng, hold up.”

”Da Xia, Cheung.”

”We are going to the cafeteria, do you care to join in?”

Asked the blue-eyed Lin Da Xia.

”I guess so, I'm starting to get hungry too.”

Ju Feng laughed in reply.

As they were about to leave for the cafeteria, he noticed one of the other two new disciples of the house of lightning.

”Yingjie, are you in a hurry?”

Ju Feng asked.
