Elders

"There is no need to contract our Power; continue to expand," Qin Ming said.

"Yes," Si Xiuqi replied with a cupped-fist salute. Although he didn't know where the Sect Master's confidence came from, since the Sect Master wasn't afraid, he felt at ease.

Qin Ming looked at Si Xiuqi and said, "You have managed things very well. You've worked hard during this time."

"It wasn't hard." Receiving Qin Ming's affirmation, Si Xiuqi was overjoyed.

Qin Ming took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and handed it to Si Xiuqi. "This is a reward for you. Keep up the good work."

"Yes!" Si Xiuqi hurriedly took the jade bottle and carefully placed it in his robes. Although he hadn't looked at the Medicinal Pills inside the jade bottle, anything Qin Ming brought out was bound to be extremely precious.

Qin Ming nodded. That Si Xiuqi could manage the Sect so well was truly beyond his expectations.

Compared to Jue Wuya, he was more suited to managing the Sect.

Jue Wuya was quite a good teacher; the Disciples had practiced their Spirit Skills well.

But as a manager, Jue Wuya was still a bit lacking.

Inside the jade bottle was a forbidden pill for his self-defense. Now that other Powers were coveting Shadow, he had to take precautions.

"By the way, Sect Master, Jue Xin, whom you asked Shadow to keep an eye on, has become an Elder of the Pill Alliance," Si Xiuqi said after a moment's thought.

"Jue Xin has become an Elder?" Qin Ming frowned. This was a bit troublesome. If Jue Xin were only a Deacon, he could assassinate him.

Now that he was an Elder, assassinating him would be equivalent to declaring war on the Pill Alliance.

Although he wasn't afraid of the Pill Alliance, he preferred to avoid unnecessary battles if possible.

"How did Jue Xin become an Elder?" Qin Ming asked. For a Power like the Pill Alliance, becoming an Elder was very difficult.

Even when Jue Xin offered the Divine Artifact Alchemical Cauldron to the Pill Alliance, he only became a Deacon.

"Jue Xin has achieved a Breakthrough to become a Pill Emperor," Si Xiuqi explained.

Qin Ming nodded. No wonder he could become a Deacon; a Pill Emperor's status on the continent was not low.

Jue Xin's Alchemy talent was indeed remarkable to become a Pill Emperor so quickly.

"I understand. Continue to keep an eye on him," Qin Ming said.

Si Xiuqi nodded.

"That's all for today. Go about your business." Qin Ming had learned enough and dismissed the group.

"Yes," everyone said in unison.

"Jue Wuya, there is something I want to discuss with you." After speaking, Qin Ming looked at Jue Wuya, left the Sect, and flew toward the Secret Realm.

Jue Wuya followed by his side.

Upon reaching the Cultivation Chamber in the Secret Realm, Jue Wuya asked, "Qin Ming, what is it?"

"I want to give those Medicinal Pills to the Disciples," Qin Ming said solemnly, looking at Jue Wuya.

"Hmm?" Jue Wuya frowned and fell into thought. After a long while, he asked, "Have you thought this through?"

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Many of the Sect's Disciples are already Martial Kings. Unless they take that kind of Medicinal Pill, their path forward will be cut off."

Those with medium Spiritual Roots who can Breakthrough from Martial King to Martial Emperor are extremely rare.

Unless they have great perseverance and immense luck, there is only a slim possibility.

"Aren't you worried…" Jue Wuya said hesitantly.

"I am," Qin Ming said. "But I believe in the Disciples."

His first reason was his trust in the Disciples; the second was that he now had the strength to protect himself.

On this continent, he had already become a Martial Venerable and possessed a Secret Realm; he had more than enough Power to protect himself.

As for the Experts of the Yuan Continent, if they wanted to come over, they would have to cross the Sea of Despair, a natural barrier.

A Medicinal Pill that improves a Disciple's Spiritual Root is indeed precious, but Qin Ming felt it was unrealistic to say its value surpassed that of ten Martial Saints.
