Checking on the Diciples

Mors dodged a heavy sword attack made by the middle-aged guard. Mors hits the man in the side. The man was able to stay up thanks to his steel-like skin and muscles.

"Ah! Good, good! But you need to be better than that to hold against me!"

Mors said as he delivers another punch at Fen. Fen steel skin crumbles under Mors' second punch. The pain that assaulted his mind was enough to make his knees buckle and for him to hit the floor. His face hit the ground first. Mors looks at his own disciples and could not help but smile.

Run was the first one he beat; her control of the Earth element could use some improvement. Huan was the second one to fall. She just needs it a bit more critical thinking to make use of her shadow skill.

"How are they?"

"Um pretty good. I can see areas that need improvement, but you did great teaching them so far"

"Thank you"

Zhihui said as she stood up from her seat. She walk over to her disciples as she started to heal them with the water element. The pain that keep assaulting their mind started to tone down as their wound heal. Once she finishes healing them she walks over to Mors.

"So, when are you going back to the sect to give Xia the materials?"

"I will start making my way there today. Get that done with. I do need to buy some troll blood"

"Upgrade?"

"Yes"

"If you trade off the treasures you got from the tower with the sect, it should be enough to get troll blood"

"I hope so, I just got a bunch of junk. Weapons, leather, and some weird crystals."

"I should go with you, there are some things I need to do in the capital"

"Alright. You three recuperate and get ready, we are going back to the sect"

"Yes, master…" The three disciples said in unison, their bodies still laying on the ground.

The couple could not help but laugh as the two of them walk out of the house and towards one of their experimentation fields. They arrive at the empty field in less than a minute. Mors makes a spirit crystal appear in his right hand.

He summons one of his copies to dig a small hole in the ground. Once the hole was made, Mors place down the spirit crystal. Making another copy to close the hole.

"Let's hope that fixes our problem. So Zhihui, do you have any plans for the village?"

"Yes I do, I believe that focusing them on crafting will be better for them. Things like cloth, silk, and metal tools are always in demand"

"Planning in making clothes with that silk and cloth?"

"That is the plan. If we can make clothes that are ready to wear and make it cheap enough. We will make it big"

"Not like we need the money, but helping these people climb out of poverty is good"

"Exactly, now let's go back and prepared things for the journey"

The couple went back to the house as they started to pack their things. Around 11 am the group was ready to make their way to the sect campus. With Fen as the driver, the group set out in their carriage. The drive to the sect took three days.

Nothing happens along the way. So, the party was able to enjoy a quiet ride. Along the way, Mors trains the disciples a bit more. Giving them pointers. Once they arrive at the sect, the group separated. Mors and Zhihui were left in the sect, while the three disciples went to the clan estate to leave their things.

"AH~ it sure it's nice to be back in the sect"

"It sure is, now let go ahead and find Xia"

Since Xia was going to be their sole crafter, the couple bought him his own small workshop within the sect campus. Usually, such places are left for master crafters and their own disciples. Mors and Zhihui walk down the sect campus paved path.

They soon arrive in front of a small building. A chimney built of red brick was connected to the building. Build to the side of the building are four boxes. Two of the boxes are full of ore, while one is full of coal, and the last one is of different color spirit crystals.

"He is really using all the budget we gave him"

Mors said as Zhihui knocks on the wooden door. The muffled sound of something heavy being placed down and of approving footsteps came from behind the door. The handle of the door twist as the door opens and reveals a dirty Xia.

He is wearing a blacksmith outfit. His face and hand are covered in dust and black particles.

"AH! Masters! It's great for you guys to visit me! Please come it. I will get you guys some tea"

"No need to worry about tea Xia, we just came to give you the materials you ask and to check how you are doing"

Mors said as he and Zhihui walk into the building. The building is composed of three rooms. The biggest room was of course the forge room. A light furnace illuminated the strong-looking anvil. To the sides were two smaller rooms. One of the rooms was the bathroom. While the other one is a storage place.

"What were you working on Xia?"

Mors said as he looks at the red piece of metal ingot laying in the anvil.

"I was practicing making armor. But you got the materials I ask for?"

"Yes I did"

Mors makes two bags and pieces of wood appear in the ground.

"So, mind telling me what this is for?"

"Master said that this will be good for making lady Zhihui Dragon Scale armor"

"OH~ when can I expect something like that?"

"Master said that in two months I should be good enough to attempt to follow his procedures. He then said that it will take 2 weeks to make the armor"

"Great!"

Zhihui takes out the Dragon scales from her storage ring. Placing them in a nearby empty table.

"There you go. Might as well give it to you now that come back later and drop it off"

"Thank you lady Zhihui"

"Now tell us, is there anything that requires our help?"
