Chapter 989: A Grand Vision

An Lin recounted many of his experiences in the cultivating world to Ye Ling, filling her with a yearning toward the world as well as unbridled enthusiasm for cultivation.

Ye Lings aptitude was very good. She had only cultivated for three months, but she was already at the second-stage Dao Body and was approaching the third-stage Dao Body. This was quite a quick rate even among all of the prodigies he had seen.

He felt like Ye Ling was basically a treasure that had appeared on his doorstep.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have encountered both of these disciples under rather comical circumstances.

Xiao Ze had given him everything he owned before begging to become his disciple.

Ye Ling had gone even further. She had traveled all the way to the grand opening of his sect as a mortal after being encouraged to do so by some random and dodgy clairvoyant daoist priest and had almost died before she finally had a chance to meet An Lin.

An Lin suddenly felt like both of his disciples had pretty much thrust themselves upon him!

However, he didnt think too much of this. Soon, his mind had drifted to what present he should be giving to his adorable disciple.

Take these ninth-grade spirit fruits. They can replenish your blood and energy, as well as fortify your skeletal structure and meridians. Make sure you only eat one once a week. Dont stuff yourself. An Lin passed a bag of green spirit fruits to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling hugged the bag of fruits to herself with her little arms as if she were cradling a priceless treasure. Dont worry, Master, Ill make sure to only eat one once a week!

If someone else were around to hear their conversation, they would probably be sobbing from the sheer injustice of the situation.

Spirit fruits were highly sought after items, but this Master was worried that his disciple would stuff herself on spirit fruits?!

This was a valid concern. After all, a second stage Dao Body cultivator shouldnt be ingesting fruits with excessive energy content.

This was probably a predicament that only the disciples of a tycoon master had to contend with.

Everyone was still drinking porridge and trying their best to survive.

Meanwhile, Ye Ling: Why not eat some spirit fruits?

Everyone else: F*ck off!

At the sight of her obedient expression, An Lin couldnt help but rub Ye Lings adorable little head.

When he wasnt around, his eldest disciple, Xiao Ze, would be responsible for training Ye Ling.

Xiao Ze was a Primordial Dragon Tribe mighty figure who was also at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage, so he was more than qualified to instruct Ye Ling. As such, An Lin didnt see the need for Ye Ling to follow him around every day.

After chatting some more about some cultivation topics, he accompanied his disciple back to her room.

After that, he rounded up all of the pavilion lords to discuss the future development of the sect.

Xiao Ze, Tina, Xue Zhantian, Xiao Chou, Bai Ling, Liu Qianhuan, the White-Scaled Wolf God, and Bryce gathered at the meeting chamber to participate in the discussion.

Bai Ling, Ill leave it to you to assign rewards and the appropriate trials to those seventeen outer-sect disciples who discovered the spirit stone mine. If you find someone you deem worthy, you can make them an inner-sect disciple at your discretion, An Lin instructed.

No problem. I love organizing trials for people. A gentle smile appeared on Bai Lings face, but a chill ran down everyones spine for some reason.

An Lin cleared his throat. Lets tally up the total wealth of the sect first.

It was Xiao Zes turn to take the stage as he was the treasurer of the sect. He cleared his throat before delivering his report.

Our sect currently has one mystic realm and one large spirit stone mine with a total capacity of one hundred and fifty million spirit stones. The sect currently has fifty million spirit stones in fluid funds, which are mainly used for the daily operation of the sect, including purchasing cultivation resources, expanding our territory, searching for treasures, and things of that nature

Xiao Zes report was quite detailed and exemplary.

In the past three months, the main reward the sect had harvested was that large spirit stone mine. Aside from that, they also had the spirit stones from completing the mission assigned to them by the Heavenly Court, as well as some spirit fruits, precious resources, and materials secured by the outer-sect disciples during their expeditions.

An Lin was quite satisfied with how things were going.

He was already ecstatic that they werent losing money.

After that, it was time for Bai Ling, who was responsible for human resources and education, to deliver her report.

All of the core disciples within the sect are cultivating in a systematic manner. The disciple with the highest cultivation base is Bei Lian, who recently progressed to the Soul Formation Final Stage, while the disciples with the lowest cultivation bases are Chu Ming and Zhou Yu, who have only recently reached the first-stage Dao Body. For some reason, Bai Ling was not ashamed in the slightest at how low the cultivation bases of her disciples were, but instead, she was a little smug about it.

An Lin was curious. Arent you worried about their rates of progression?

Bai Lings brows perked up slightly. Whats the point of cultivating if they arent well-grounded in fundamental knowledge? Knowledge is power, and Ill be showing all of y
