"Wu Song, come here." Zhu Yao beckoned to Wu Song, and he obediently walked over. Zhu Yao continued to wear her cold and aloof mask, and sternly said. "From now on, you two are the first batch of disciples of my Azureflight, and Wu Song is your eldest senior-martial brother."
Little radish's face was a little joyful, as if they had expected it. They called out in unison. "Eldest senior-martial brother."
"Venerable One?" Wu Song looked up at her hesitantly.
Zhu Yao continued. "Most probably, I don't have much time to take care of you guys. In the future, Azureflight Sect will be handed over to you. You don't have to take good care of junior-martial brothers and sisters, do you understand?"
Wu Song clenched his fists. After a while, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Sect Master."
"Mn." Zhu Yao nodded satisfactorily. It seemed like his sense of responsibility was slowly growing, which was a good sign.
Zhu Yao had the rest of the little radishes leave, leaving only Wu Song behind. Then, she took out the crystal root used to test Spirit Veins that she found in the Sword Pavilion earlier, and signaled him to press on it.
Three colors of gold, red, and yellow appeared on the ball. It was indeed the Metal, Fire, and Earth Spirit Roots he had seen in his dream.
Wu Song looked at her in confusion.
"You have the Metal, Fire, and Earth Triple Spiritual Roots. Although it's not great, it's not bad either." Zhu Yao explained. "You're currently the eldest senior-martial brother of the sect, so naturally, you have to cultivate as well. I don't expect you to have great achievements in your cultivation. However, you have to ensure that those children are well taken care of and manage Azureflight Sect well. Can you do that? "
Wu Song thought for a while and nodded heavily.
Only then did Zhu Yao take out an empty jade tablet. Holding it in her palm, she engraved a few metal, fire, and earth mystic arts into it, and passed it to him. He told him that after he learned how to draw Qi into his body, he could practice the method inside.
At the same time, he also engraved some of the refining methods that his master had left behind. His Spirit Root was most suitable for refining weapons. As long as he worked hard, he might be able to become a Master Refiner. Then, he explained in detail how to draw the Qi into his body.
Following the method that her master had taught her, she circulated the spiritual energy in his body once before letting him comprehend it on his own.
Wu Song comprehended it very quickly. Early the next morning. She discovered that he had already entered the first level of Qi Disciple. Perhaps it was because of the sense of responsibility she had placed on him that he was very diligent in his cultivation.
Zhu Yao spent exactly half a month's time, before she managed to sort out all the miscellaneous matters in Azureflight Sect, and restored the sect's normal operations as much as she could. Furthermore, she had little radish perform their respective duties. They wouldn't starve to death.
She engraved all the cultivation methods on the wet books onto the jade tablet. She also modified some of the contents and added some notes that were easy to understand. There was nothing wrong with the general cultivation method.
She arranged for the demonic beasts that were sent over by the teleportation array to the foot of the mountain. They were sent to guard the entrances of the Mountain Guarding Formation. Even though these demonic beasts had not been tamed into spiritual beasts, they did not dare to disobey her orders. In fact, they were even a little excited.
Sure enough, the identity of the Dragon Clan was useful.
Naturally, Zhu Yao had modified the Mountain Barrier Formation. It was no longer a concealment formation, but one that truly possessed a defensive function. At the very least, after the formation was activated, there would not be any Mountain Entry Tablets. Cultivators below the Soul Formation stage were unable to enter.
After finishing everything, Zhu Yao once again took out some of the mystic tools her master left behind. She selected and removed two fifth-ranked mystic tools. The rest were all eighth-ranked and above mystic tools. They were basically unusable if they were not at the Nascent Soul stage.
As expected, there was nothing she could do even if she had too many treasures. Hence, she could only try her best to engrave some weapon refinement methods, or formations. However, there were fewer books regarding talismans and taming beasts. As for pellets … Sorry, her master had never liked to use pellets, and had never taught her before.
Hence, this area was empty.
Fortunately, the sect had some simple pellet refinement methods in the first place. For example, the Grain Abstention Pellet. At the very least, the little radishes would not starve to death.
Zhu Yao spent exactly three months before she was able to settle the matter properly. Even without her, no one else could easily touch this place. Wu Song had reached the third level of Essence as well. The first sect rule she set was that before she built her Foundation, she was not allowed to leave the mountain.
Hence, Zhu Yao left Sesame and a communication talisman behind, and hurried back to Jade Forest Mountain.
Though Sesame was unwilling to accompany a bunch of little turnips, and threw all sorts of coquettishly begging to be brought away, it was still ruthlessly rejected by her. Other than having it guide the turnips in their cultivation, she still had to rely on its pressure as a tenth-ranked demonic beast to intimidate those low-ranked demonic beasts guarding the mountain, to prevent any incidents from happening while she was away. It would not be good if she invited trouble into the sect.

"Master, how is it?" Yu Luo retracted her casting hand, and looked at Zhu Yao with an excited expression. Her master had left for half a year, and her realm had already stabilized three months ago. Seeing that she had yet to return, she trained in ice-type Mystic Arts for another three months, and now, her casting speed was already not any weaker than someone with an Ice Spirit Vein.
Zhu Yao nodded. She was worried about another matter. "Little turnip, you're turning fifteen next month, right?"
"Yes." Yu Luo was a little curious. Her master actually remembered her birthday. Actually, to practitioners, time was no longer an important noun, especially for days like birthdays that happened every year. There wasn't much meaning to it, and if her master did not mention it, she would have almost forgotten about it herself.
"There's only five years left." Zhu Yao muttered. Five years later, it would be the day her body was taken over in her dreams. "Next, I will teach you sword techniques. You must have some accomplishments within five years, and it would be best if you can comprehend Sword Intent."
"Sword Intent!" Yu Luo was stunned for a moment. "Isn't that something that can only be comprehended after one forms his Azoth Core?"
"There are no absolutes in this world." Who said that? Didn't Xiao Yi comprehend it when he was at Foundation as well? Though he had a cheat.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yu Luo kept feeling that her master seemed to be rushing for time. Back then, she wanted her to immediately build her Foundation, and this time, she was talking about Sword Intent. Were all Jade Forest Mountain disciples this demanding?
Zhu Yao glanced at her, and sternly said. "I want you to participate in the Inter-Sect Tournament five years later, and you must obtain first place in the Foundation realm!"
Yu Luo suddenly widened her eyes. First place? She had just built her Foundation, and it was uncertain if she could even reach the middle stages in five years. Furthermore, most of the participants were Foundation Paragons. "Master, I …"
"You just have to tell me, alright? Or not? "
Yu Luo gritted her teeth. The Inter-Sect Tournament was a martial arts competition for the entire Deity Sect. If she could obtain first place, she could indeed become famous in a single battle. Because she had tested her Spirit Vein when she was young, everyone knew that there was a Water Spirit Vein furnace in Ancient Hill Sect, and she had always been taken in as a Demigod Sovereign's disciple. If she could obtain first place with her Water Spirit Vein, at the very least, no one would dare to look down on her again.
She took a deep breath, as though she had made up her mind, she heavily nodded. "Alright!"
"Alright." Zhu Yao nodded. She was really afraid that she would have to hide in Jade Forest Mountain for the rest of her life, not daring to leave. If that was the case, she would never be able to grow. "From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you sword arts. You have to learn diligently."
"Yes, master."
— — — —
In terms of sword arts, although Zhu Yao used a sword as well, compared to her master, she was just trash. However, her master had never taught her any proper moves or sword arts, and had simply sparred with her.
Actually, her master's method was very simple. True knowledge comes from practice. Only by truly fighting, would one know what kind of sword arts were the most suitable. Actually, sword arts did not have any specific moves.
Hence, the method she taught little radish, was only a single one, and that was to directly beat her.
Seeing her being beaten down by her time and time again, and then crawling back up to seek a beating, Zhu Yao was still a little … happy. Hahaha, as expected, being a master is still the best.
Little radish was a good child with five stresses and four beauties. Though it was also related to the way she was raised since young, with her current personality, she dared to guarantee that she would definitely not go astray.
In these five years, Zhu Yao spent her time happily beating up her disciple.
As for the excavator … Ah pui, regarding the matter regarding Azureflight Sect, when she returned, she had already told Zi Mo about the matter regarding the extermination of the Sect. Naturally, she did not mention the matter regarding those lucky little radishes. Zi Mo's expression was very ugly. Most probably, he was guessing the reason why the heretic practitioner suddenly exterminated a not so famous second-rate Deity Sect.
As for the matters after, Zhu Yao did not continue to bother about them either. After all, this involved the entire Deity Sect, so it was better for the Sect Master to worry about it.
Wu Song would often contact her as well, to inform her about the big and small matters within Azureflight Sect. Speaking of which, she had to thank Zi Mo. Back then, he had forcefully stuffed a large amount of matters regarding the Sect to her, allowing her to understand quite a few matters regarding the Sect's operations. He was also able to manage Azureflight with ease.
It was just that among the eighty-two radishes, the aptitude for cultivation was not very good. Most of them had four spiritual roots, and the majority of them had five spiritual roots. There were very few disciples like Wu Song who possessed Tri Spiritual Roots, not to mention Duo Spiritual Roots and Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
This was extremely detrimental to the growth of the sect, because no matter how hard they cultivated, it was estimated that only a few would be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
However, Zhu Yao did not think so. In the modern era, the strength of a group did not depend on a single person, or a few people. It was all about teamwork. Since I can't beat him in a duel, I'll just have to gang up on him. Cough … gang up on him. There were benefits to having more Spirit Roots. At the very least, this kind of cooperation was very good.
Zhu Yao had Wu Song pay more attention to his disciple's strong points, and then, he would groom them accordingly.
Water-wood focused on healing. Those who were proficient in Water-wood spells could act as backline healers. Fire Gold specialized in offense and specialized in fire and metal element spells. He could be the main attacker. The earth element focused on defense. Those who were proficient in earth magic could focus on defense.
She could let everyone form small groups and work together frequently. Just like the teamwork battles in games, there would be tanks, healers, and DPS. Would they still be afraid of not being able to defeat the boss?
Even if she did not allow them to descend the mountain on their own, there were so many demonic beasts on the mountain. It would be fine to randomly pull one or two of them to spar with and practice their teamwork.
