Chapter 159 - The Power of the Sect (6) (1/2)

With everything set on going with the Sect, Yi Ling became more free.

She no longer have to worry about supplying money nor giving concoctions for the Sect. She only had to focused on helping Xiang He with his fire element and guiding him in his Cultivation. Even then; he only shows up roughly about 2-3 times a week, since he is busy with his job as an Emperor. Although he doesn't frequently visit the Sect, doesn't mean that he neglected his Cultivation. He usually spend half of his day on this and half for governing his kingdom.

What Yi Ling focused on nowadays, was her combat abilities. She would usually have a friendly match with either Muxin or the 5 Senior Elders.

Aside from this, Qianru also spent her time guiding the guards and healing herself with the help of Linyu and Haoran at night. Since the two had done it before, it was less awkward now. But sometimes, it still causes Haoran to blush or making Linyu felt disgust.

The new arrivals also found out the reason for the masks. Only people who wore masks, are allowed to come in or out of the Sect. Once they came in, only the authorized person who owned that mask can freely enter and out of the sect. For this reason, all of the guards was given a uniformed masks. They all wear a white mask that has a beautiful Blue Rose Logo in their left cheek, while a Chinese number on the right. There is also a intricate golden designs around the area where their eyes could be seen.

The numbers corresponds to their ranks and identities. Thus they call each other by number and not by names. This would also allowed them to be easily recognized and remember. For this, Number 1 is the Commanding Officer of all the guards. Tefei and Qianru picked him as the commander since he showed resilience and good judgement. He was about 30 years old and was on 7th Rank of Nascent Stage. As soon as he was promoted, Yi Ling gave him a concoction that allowed him to breakthrough Emergent Stage. Not only him, but also the rest of the guards. This would give them motivation on their jobs, as well as commitment and loyalty.

The Elders were given masks as well, they had different designs that corresponds to theirs courts. Such as; The Medical Court has Phoenix Herb on their Mask, The Jade Court has a Jade Colored Mask, The Inner Court has an Ice Lotus Flower design and The Outer Sect has an Fire Dragon Herb design. There is also 5 Elders who oversee the whole Sect. They are the ones who ran the Golden Hall. For this, they had a Golden Mask with a blue rose design.
