Watching Yun Shu leave, the corner of Su Lingwen’s lips curled up.

 “I really have to make some progress now, or I’ll soon fall behind,” Su Lingwen said to herself.

 After leaving the square, Yun Shu first went to his cave to meet Feng He and his men. Still some distance away from his destination, he heard many people practicing martial techniques.

 In front of the cave, a few hundred men were exercising really hard, devoted expressions donning their faces. Yun Shu’s men could never imagine this before. After all, most of them had completely given up hope on making any further progress in this valley.

 But now, they were motivated by Yun Shu and had decided to change themselves. With access to all kinds of cultivation techniques and even the ginseng roots, basically, they had most of the resources that those outer sect disciples had outside of the valley.

 Yun Shu slightly nodded in approval. If he wanted to build up his own faction, his men should be like this. They couldn’t choose their talent, but they could determine their attitude!

 At this time, the disciples in front of the cave also saw him. Immediately, they stopped their practice and came over to Yun Shu.

 “Senior Brother Yun!”

 Together, they called out his name loudly and went down on one knee.

 “Stand up, all of you. Where’s Feng He?” asked Yun Shu.

 “He’s in the cave!” someone answered.

 “Okay. All of you, keep practicing. Don’t slack off!” Yun Shu nodded and headed for the cave.

 “Yes!” The disciples hollered together and returned to their training regime.

 As soon as Yun Shu entered the cave, he saw Feng He walking out.

 “Senior Brother Yun!” Feng He bowed to Yun Shu respectfully.

 Feng He had fully recovered from the injury, looking hale and hearty. On top of that, his breaths were now deeper and slower. Obviously, he had improved from his predicament as well. Now, he had reached the eighth level of the Qi Sky Realm.

 Among the disciples in the valley, he could be regarded as a formidable cultivator.

 “You did a good job, but don’t be satisfied with just this. Keep working hard,” advised Yun Shu.

 “Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Yun!” Feng He gave Yun Shu a palm-hold-fist salute.

 Yun Shu took a quick glance at the disciples practicing outside of the cave and asked Feng He, “Are those new members behaving themselves?”

 Feng He nodded. “Yes, they are. I’ve been watching them closely these days, and I can tell that they are wholly loyal to you.”

 Yun Shu also nodded. “Good. When you think it’s the right time, accept them, and treat them like everybody else.”

 “Got it.” Feng He gave a slight nod and said.

 At this time, Feng He switched the topic and said in an apologetic tone, “Senior Brother Yun, last time, you told me to investigate Huang Sheng. Sorry, I haven’t found anything yet. I don’t know where he is right now… Just can’t find any clue…”

 Yun Shu gave an understanding reply, “Such a filthy rat he is. He sure knows how to make a mess as well as how to hide like a rat. Keep investigating. If you get any information, wait till I get back.”

 “Get back? Where are you heading to, Senior Brother Yun?” Feng He asked.

 Yun Shu shook his head. “You don’t have to know. Take care of everyone here.”

 Feng He agreed. Then Yun Shu took out the Ordinary pills and handed them to him. There were more than two hundred pills, striking fear in Feng He’s heart. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

 These were…

 These were pills!

 True pills!

 “Where did you get these, Senior Brother Yun?” Feng He was beyond surprised.

 Even Ordinary pills were rare for all outer sect disciples. They were regarded as something precious in the sect, and Feng He had never seen a single pill in the valley.

 But here Yun Shu was, giving more than two hundred pills away so casually!

 That was shocking to Feng He!

 “I made them myself. They’re about grade two and can be of great help to one’s cultivation. Keep them for the disciples,” instructed Yun Shu.

 Feng He was awestruck.

 Yun Shu made the pills himself!

 Where did this Senior Brother Yun come from? How many more skills was he still hiding?

 Only those who specially studied pills in the sect knew how to refine them!

 Yet, Senior Brother Yun also knew how to do just that!

 Obviously, he had underestimated his boss, even after reassessing him. Having such a leader was the most fortunate thing that ever happened to him!

 “Are these pills… for us?” Feng He had to confirm.

 “That’s right. You keep them for the disciples as a reward or to help them with their breakthrough. Don’t save them; it’s more important that we’re all making progress together. I’ll give you more when I come back,” said Yun Shu.

 Feng He swallowed his saliva. He knew how valuable these pills were, and he had never seen so many in his life. Probably, only inner sect disciples could enjoy them.

 He even started to feel that being sent to the valley wasn’t that bad a thing!

 “Thank you very much, Senior Brother Yun! I promise I’ll make the best use of them and properly distribute them. They’ll achieve greater heights because of the pills you give them!” said Feng He seriously.

 “I trust you. I hope that soon, all of you will get better than most disciples in the sect.” Yun Shu dropped his parting words to Feng He and then left the cave.

 He trusted Feng He. And he believed that he would be able to help the disciples grow fast.

 While imagining all of his men would be able to fight well one day, a smile also crept up Yun Shu’s face.

 After leaving the cave, without any hesitation, Yun Shu set off for the deepest part of the valley. By noon, he had gone more than two thousand miles inside, the farthest that Yun Shu had ever gone.

 Holding a wooden stick in his hand, Yun Shu was ready to gauge how much he had improved since he reached the Aqua Sky Realm.

 He could see that black line in the sky approaching fast.

 Today’s killing wind was arriving!
