Rudra had also been hard at work and had cultivated the Desolate Metal Qi to the late stage of Qi Condensation.

Yali had finished the first step in the Beast cultivation schematic and had started to gather Fire Qi in the beast heart, gaining the envy of Rudra, who could only curse the heavens for being unfair.

The cultivation of a Demonic heart was still on hold, along with the Raging River Qi.

Rishi was pondering whether he should take in some employees to help with his farming activity which was growing in scale.

"Hey, its time for you to give me the controls." Rishi nodded his head.

"OOH, its good to be back, baby." Rudra stretched around a little.

Rudra walked out of his house on the top of the hill and down the crystal walkway that he had created using his Verdant Earth Qi and the Desolate Metal Qi to flatten the rocks on the hill and smoothen it, giving it a shiny crystal-like look.

He walked towards the hill where his Master originally lived, he soon reached a green hilltop just like his hill but this hill was filled with Spiritual herbs used by the sect to create pills. On the contrast, his hill was full of Spiritual plants and trees used as food.

"You called me, Master."

"Yes, Rudra come, sit here." Old Man Ren pointed towards a wooden chair.

"Kid I was not wrong about you, you were made to be an excellent farmer."

"You would surpa.s.s me in no time."

Old Man Ren nodded approvingly at Rudra while showering him with praises.

The corners of Rudra"s mouth twitched at the mention of him being destined to be a great farmer.

The old man talked about various things from his experience in farming and cultivation to all ways to gossips in the sect. He sure was a talkative one.

Finally, Rudra couldn"t take it anymore and blurted out, "Why have you called me today?"

"Ah that, you see I was called by the Elders in Spirit Ocean Sect."

Rudra"s ears perked up.

"You see they are very pleased with your contributions to the sect as they cant directly ask a junior like you to cough out the secret method for growing the Sea Serpent Rice and the Spirit Shark Gra.s.s.

"Spirit Shark Gra.s.s?" Rudra looked questingly at his Master.

"I happen to brag that you could also grow Spirit Shark Gra.s.s....."

"Hmmm, Now what?"

"As you know that the demand for Sea Serpent Rice is very high and different branches have expressed their desire to get hold of it."

"The elders at the main branch wanted you to give up the method for growing Sea Serpent Rice and the Spirit Shark Gra.s.s as a contribution."

"For free h.e.l.l no..." Rudra stood up from his seat.

"They promised to would fulfill any of your requests as long as it was possible." Old Man Ren looked seriously as he continued.

Rudra fell silent but he started a debate inside his mind.

[Take the chance to look for some better Water Qi manual the Raging River Qi is too strict in its criteria to cultivate.] Yali suggested.

...

...

.....

Rudra"s brain turned its gears once again "I know what to do."

Rudra looked at Master Ren and declared his demands.

"Tell the Sect Head to promote us"

Old Man Ren looked at him questingly, not understanding his motive.

"Ask him to make a new Branch dedicated to growing Spiritual Plants and Herbs in the sect with its complete autonomy. You will be appointed its Sect Head and I want to be Sect Elder with all the benefits of being one."

"We will also take an area in command, with cultivatable land and an ocean near it."

"Also, I should be able to take some Manuals from the Spirit Ocean"s Manual Library, and all the basic materials required to set up a branch sect."

"Are you sure about this." Old Man Ren stood up excitedly.

"Yes, tell them this branch will not only grow Spiritual Plants and herbs it will also research to improve the life and cultivation of our fellow sect members."
