'I can't believe master gave me a kiss. It has been months since my last one. I had even saved up enough points to purchase one and even though master says not to waste my points like that, he doesn't understand that to me it's not a waste.'

She then starts to reminisce about her master and how she fell in love.

'At first master was just the saviour who helped me and my family get out of the street and give us the opportunity to grow stronger, but over time when he came over to check on us and showed concern it was the first time, I had felt like that.

Someone was actually worried about us. All our life me and my siblings have been thrown out by everyone. Each of us were thrown out by our parents because they couldn't afford to keep us, and we had to struggle to live on the street. We fought for our lives everyday stealing what scraps we could and setting up traps to catch rats.

We would often go days or even weeks without food, and the small food we found had to be split between us. When master found us, it was nearing the 3rd winter we had endured together. We where all ready do die as we had no strength to fight against the cold and even in autumn before winter, we were barely staying warm.

We had already lost hope, with all the people walking right by us with no signs of pity. Some even came over just to kick us for amusement specifically targeting my younger sister who was only 7 years old. I had to use my body many times to shield us quite often breaking bones.

We had nothing in life apart from each other, until master came along and offered us a new home and a new family. We where cautious as even though we would do anything to get a new life I couldn't leave my family behind.

Just as I was thinking we would all stand together 2 of my brothers who I have protected many times and who have protected me as well stood up and joined him in exchange for abandoning us. Even my sister, who I shared secrets with daily stood up to leave us.

That was hell, I felt like my life was crumbling. The people I trusted most and thought of as family left us just like that. At the time I was even considering sacrificing myself so my family could eat my remains, it wouldn't be the first time they were forced to eat human meat to live.

I then spoke up asking how they could betray us like that and they started saying how we shouldn't bring them down due to our selfishness and acted like they were above us because they were called talents by the master.

Master then turned to me and asked me if I am sure I don't want to go and I was tempted. If my brothers go who are of a similar age to me then we won't survive as they were the main man power when stealing things. My mind was conflicted as I was slowly giving into the temptation. That was until my younger sister looked me in the eyes and asked if I was also abandoning them.

When I heard this and saw her and the others face my heart steeled as I vowed to keep the promise, we made to each other when we met. We said that we would live and die together so I am going to follow my heart.

I told my answer to master and he smiled and said it was the correct answer, before offering myself and the other a deal to take all of us in so long as they worked hard to overcome their talent.

We all agreed and that was when I started looking at him like he was my big brother almost. He cared about us and even gave the younger ones some treats. When he asked about my feelings towards the traitors, I wanted to say that I forgive them but I just couldn't say it.

Master allowed us to join because I was honest with my feelings of not betraying my family, if I where to not be fully committed when I saw I forgive them it could cause him to not accept us.

So I looked through my heart to find my feelings about them and the only ones that came us where disgust, sadness and anger. I was disgusted they could just leave us that easily, sad that they left us after everything we went through and angry, they said we were holding them back from surviving. I told the master my feelings and he smiled before putting his hand on my ex-brothers' heads and my ex best friend/sister.

My brother's eyes turned almost lifeless as though they where just puppets and each command he gave they followed like they were attached to strings. My sister however was different and her eyes became dull for a few seconds before regaining clarity, and she looked at us with sadness as tears fell out of her eyes and she apologised before neatly standing beside my brothers.

I know the master did something to them but I didn't care as they betrayed us first and deserved. My heart was still racing though from the left-over feelings, especially after I saw the master spared my sister from the fate of my brothers due to my feelings.

After that day the master gave us a new life where we slept in a warm bed, made new friends and even found a new family. All the other children who where like us because a family, we came together to support each other duelling the training and we all vowed to become strong to protect each other and the master.

Each orphan or kid that master saved increased my view of him, eventually those feelings started blossoming into love when one day the master saw me train past my body's limits. Due to not wanting to disappoint the master I trained and trained.

I was training separate from the others near the river, when my body hit its limits I was in the middle of the water and had no way to get out. I would have drowned if not for the master. As when he saw me about to drown, he got me out of the water and saved me.

He then comforted me and helped me heal up before giving me a personal training schedule. My feelings of respect and reverence towards the master bloomed into love that day. The sight of his swimming into the river to save me was etched into my mind from that day forward and I swore to become strong enough to stand next to him. Even if it was only as a maid or warrior so long as I can be near him its enough. Each time I'm near him I feel safe, as though I was protected in his embrace and feels like home.

Since then, I have strictly followed the masters training plan and worked harder than anyone else to build up sect points to buy masters kisses. Even though he says use it on resources, the feeling of master affectionately kissing me for my hard work is the best tonic I could ask for and I will continue to aim as high as I can.'

After reminiscing and confirming her feelings she wears the ring he gave her and steeled her heart to save up so when she had her birthday, she could use her points on having sex with the master.

After leaving Zou Ning he heads off to do other things around the sect such as adding new things that can be traded for sect points, create a gate that allows only those with his mark to enter and leave so long as they have reached the requirements, write down some of his experiences and training methods he created during his 2 months and a few other random things.

After dealing with everything that can be currently done with the sect he leaves and heads towards his building to check its current build progress and check on the herb towers.

His first stop was the city of towers that were made fully of glass and were filled with green inside. These where the herb towers that grew all his resources for alchemy and other things including some poisons.

He calls for Su Da and has her talk him through the current herb's efficiency and production.

"Su Da can you come and talk me through how the herb towers are progressing."

"Of course, but in return can I get a treat?"

"Treat? What kind, there is very little you can't already get here."

"I want some of those chocolates. You have banned me from taking any from the factory so I can only ask you for them now."

"You do know I had to ban you because you ate 20% of the production every day. *Sigh*, very if your explanation is satisfactory and it seems like good work is going on under your watch then I can allow you a daily ration of chocolate, but this would also include the future so should I ask for another report then if that one isn't good the chocolate will once again be taken away."

"Really I can get some more chocolate. Yay. Ok I will give you the best explanation ever, make sure to give me lots of chocolates for my reward."

First she leads him towards the first building. "First is the grade 1 herbs. This building is around the size of a large barn and extends upwards of 130 floors. Each floor is filled with as much herbs as possible with only a little room around the edges for stairs and a platform. Each floor is able to hold 7 layers of herbs with them being watered everyday through the automation techniques you told us about.

At the bottom of the tower is a tank that we fill with water and then a worker uses the pump handle to pump the water up through the pipes which then takes the water to every floor of the tower. It takes a lot of effort to pump up water to the 130th floor but since the workers are low stage 1 they have no problem at all.

Next is sunlight, which using mirrors and specific glass configurations designed by you we are able to have all the plants on each floor get the maximum amount of light.

Because of the water and sunlight, the plants are able to grown within half a day to a day depending on which grade 1 plant they are but grade 1's are rarely over a day maximum.

Currently with this one building we can grow over 20,000 herbs per month and because there are 4 other similar buildings, we can grow around 100,000 grade 1 herbs per month.

Next are the grade 2 herb buildings which are the same layout at the last ones except each floor this time only has 5 layers instead of 7 because grade 2 require slightly more room, with a few floors having even less for the largest herbs.

The production on these is around 12,000 per month and currently there are only 2 buildings in total. So 24,000 grade 2 herbs on average per month.

Next is the grade 3 herbs. Each floor here only has 2 layers so the production is greatly reduced and we are able to farm only around 4000 per month and this is currently the only building.

The grade 4 and above buildings are still being built so we are currently still unable to grow them as quick and are still using the temporary fields to grow them.

As for the tree type resources, we are still in construction of the "football stadium orchard" you called it. The designs you gave us where of a large rectangular building that extended across 10 acres and plans to be built upwards of 50 floors with each floor housing an orchard.

The resources are still being gathered and the world will have to increase before we can start building. The production of wood and stone are the same with the forest area constantly being replanted and cut down, we are able to just about keep up with the demand. The stone is also going well with the mountains providing more than enough stone which also regenerates within a week should we want it to. So currently we have a mine shaft with rooms at the end which we have regenerate but leave the mine shaft alone sine we need it.

Finally, there are the factory's which are as productive as ever. There are thousands of workers in each factory making items with lots of it being automated using the machines you designed. We have a verity of clothes, foods, home items and other things stock piling up in the underground storage area."
