The Fallen Consort

One month passed in a blur. The Sect got extremely busy during this time. The Elders hammered all disciples with information. Of course, only the ones that are appropriate to their Cultivation Stage.

The first week's event was the examination of the Medical Court. Out of 123 disciples, At least 50 came forward to apply. Linyu gave the test at the 7th day, for them to have time to get used to the Sect and prepare for the exam. The test was all about herbs. They needed to name as many as they could, as well as their properties and usage. Only 25 of them passed the test, Mo Tian and Bai Zinghe included. It was already expected for Mo Tian, since he came from a medical family. Bai Zinghe didn't wanna let this chance flew away, so he asked Mo Tian to teach him all the things that he knew. He crammed all the knowledge Mo Tian taught him on 6 days and was able to pass it. Just that, He fainted as soon as the test was over. Mo Tian laughed at Bai Zinghe when he fainted. He found it both admiring and hilarious at the same time. After the test, He and Zinghe became the best of friends inside the Sect.

Also during the first week, Tefei surprised Yi Ling. It happened when Linyu was tasked to plant all the herbs inside the Ring, all of them was given by the disciples during the entrance test.

What happened was, when Linyu brought all the herbs; Yi Ling also went inside to segregate them. She wanted to make more concoctions as well as experiment some pills.

Mu Xin taught her how to do it properly this time. Yes, it would be more efficient compared to her concoctions but it was taxing to one's spiritual body. Mu Xin adviced her to only make pills that was beneficial to restoring health. This way, it wouldn't wasted.

Yi Ling also wanted to make a massive amount of concoctions for the sect, her companions and her own consumption. She asked Mu Xin if he could help her, Mu Xin instantly declined. He disdain hard labor. Also, there was nothing beneficial for him to do so. Yi Ling sighed, it was going to be a tough problem. She didn't want to trouble Linyu, he already got too many tasks at hand to handle.

Before Yi Ling could even complain, Mu Xin recommended Tefei. She was confused at first, How could a bear help her? Just then, Mu Xin called Tefei to come to them. At that time, they were inside Yi Ling's clinic.

Yi Ling was stunned. Instead of seeing a bear come in, It was a stunning general. He had a brown hair and his hair was neatly pulled up in a bun. He was dressed like a fighter. While Linyu was sporting the light blue robe, this man was wearing a dark blue one. It was fit to his body, unlike Mu Xin's lose robe. He had brown eyes, long lashes, light tan complexion and the muscles. He was a hot stud man, no doubt about it. When he finally arrived in front of Yi Ling, he bowed to her and introduced himself.

"Master, My name is Tefei. I finally made a breakthrough to Nascent Stage." Tefei smiled to her, revealing two dimples on his cheeks.

Seeing Yi Ling turned Red, Tefei chuckled. Mu Xin was furious, he just remembered the he did used to get jealous about Tefei. He was Yi Ling's right hand man before, them being too close made him restless at times. Mu Xin knew the Tefei had a crush on Yi Ling, he just never confessed.

"Ehem.. Tefei, Ling'er needs help making a massive amount of concoctions. I'll let you handle this since you're currently idle anyways." Mu Xin then turned to Yi Ling. He grabbed her hands and kissed on it. It was so fast that Yi Ling didn't have the time to think, she was caught off guard. She was only able to gasped when it was already done.

"I'll leave you two be. I'll check on you later." Mu Xin left , afraid that his jealousy would show. He already noticed how distant Yi Ling became after unlocking the Third Seal. He needed to talk to her about what happened. He needed to understand, the sooner the better.

When Mu Xin left, the two went to work. Tefei told Yi Ling that he was somewhat knowledgeable about making concoctions. He didn't elaborate why, Yi Ling didn't bother to ask. She was already thankful that she had a had helper.

The second week, brought the mid and low-ranked Kingdom into turmoil. The Xiang Kingdom announced to hold an Official Auction for the Blue Rose Sect. This would happen, 3 weeks from now. Yi Ling gave this task to Xiang He. Yi Ling wanted to sell different kinds of concoctions to earn some gold. She didn't want to be dependent on Xiang He. Although he was willing to give her any gold she wants, she strongly declined. She could easily earn it herself. This made Xiang He admired Doctor Yi more for his humbleness.

The auction list consisted of different kinds of concoctions. Vitality, Longevity, Cure of certain illness and poisons. There's also concoction for Qi Cultivation, Dawning and Nascent stages. Taking these concoction would help breakthrough one rank. For example, One would go from 5th rank to 6th rank. If you are on the 7th Rank, you would need to drink the next stage concoction. For example, 7th ranked Dawning stage must drink a Nascent stage concoction to breakthrough. Unfortunately, Yi Ling didn't sell any Emergent Stage Concoction. She haven't figured out that one yet.

On the third week, Yi Ling and Tefei was busy making concoctions while Linyu, Haoran and Minzhe was busy teaching the disciples. Since the Medical Court was already established, Yi Ling also gave them a task. It was to make a variety of concoction for the Sect. This way, the Sect can establish their own Medical Pavilion. This is were the disciples can buy their medicine or concoction. The payment for this is either gold or certain rare herbs. Linyu is also the one supervising this. He felt like he was going to collapse anytime soon. Fortunately, Yi Ling ȧssigned Mo Tian and Bai Zinghe to help supervised the Pavilion. Since Mo Tian was already experienced in this matter and he was the one who recommended Bai Zinghe.

That same week. The families of the disciples also received a note from the sect that their children/relatives were taken in officially as disciples of the Blue Rose Sect. This made those families felt proud and happy. They wanted to go and check them, but they advised to wait for the disciples to get used to their environment. When time comes, the disciples will visit their families at their own pace.

When the fourth week came, The Xiang Kingdom was packed as ever! This time, the middle-rank kingdoms sent a bunch of people to buy certain concoctions. Some of the people who didn't passed the examination told everyone how amazing the Blue Rose Sect was. They spread news that the Elders of the Sect was already in Emergent Stage. This is because of Jin Minzhe floating and Linyu, Haoran and Yi Ling's fast movements. They seem to just appeared out of thin air and had a powerful auras.

Most of them came early to gather more information about the said auction and the Sect itself. The Sect was very secretive and they don't even know where it was located. Only Xiang He and Elder Zhen knows. The people who help constructed the Sect lost their memories. Yi Ling made a special concoction just for them. Even though they lost their memories, they were given money by the Sect for their contribution. All they know is they helped build it, but can't recall the location. So it was also spread how wonderful the structures were inside the Sect.

Everyone felt frustrated by the lack of information. Until the 6th day of the Fourth week. The Kingdom announced that tomorrow, the Sect would bring disciples out. Some of the Elders would come as well, this is to show the validity of the concoctions. Yi Ling was willing to do this, enable to make the Sect known through out the land.
