You keep pushing your basic cultivation - after all, you're on a timer for success, aren't you?
Indeed, the technique provided by Snake Mistress is a godsend : you had no proper way to work on Snake affinity, and the Qi pattern of the namesake golden scales on your skin feels hard and sturdy. You're pretty sure you'll be harder to wound by lower level cultivators thanks to the new body tempering technique.
Your meditation, however, still struggles. You feel deeply unlucky. Have the Heavens cursed you? The addition of Fighting Intent to your meditation technique, resulting from the flash of insight of your won fight, have been frustratingly unrewarding.
Which was not the case of your choice of working your bow technique. Is it the pills? Or maybe the channels already developped by overlapping techniques?
Your marksmanship inches forward, alongside your Horse and Wind affinity. Plus, your pill consumption have been more than reasonable for obtaining those results.
But the really marking event is the new crop of disciples. Crop which you are in charge in terms of separate the wheat from the chaff.
Where you so small just two years ago? So little? So lost?
Most probably. The memory seal seems to scramble them really bad.
It's a good thing you brought the contraption along. At first, you feel the kids are really really bad. Until you realize your device have been calibrated with cultivators at least halfway through first stage, not kids that never circulated a technique.
"Ryota? A hand? I need to cut my calibration rocks in eight?
- <span class="mu-s">Give me that...</span>"
Did he ripped it three time into almost perfectly square pieces? Inhumane. But your calibration device is more tunable to the power levels of kids. That's way better.
In the end, you spend the day making kid grasp a few beads holding spiritual beast captured - some close to the sect's teached technique, like a Jade Wolf and a Water Snake.
This let your sect gaze more precisely which disciples are promising, and which aren't.
You feel like most aren't though. The few really good ones chose to go with other sects.
"<span class="mu-s">Don't worry too much. You can't compare those kids to your generation. A Yi Norm would be the shining jewel of the lot.
For your group, he's the least good gifted one. Thanks for spending the time. As promised...</span>"
>Obtained Bronze-Petal Bellflower
"<span class="mu-s">This thing work as infusions. Don't forget to share it.
Also, don't be surprised : when a treasure brings roughly one fifth of a level worth of cultivation, the second brings one eight, the third one tenth.
In the end, deep pockets aren't doing all the work.</span>"
The sorting event is also an opportunity to discuss with Medicine Master Soulgaze.
"<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-s">Hello child. I owe you a special reward for the prize your sect sold me.
Come and visit with those friends of yours. I'll fine-tune some more pills.</span></span>"
