The sect was a massive, sprawling complex that housed around five to seven hundred thousand cultivators. The sheer scale of the place was awe-inspiring, with its towering structures and majestic architecture exuding an air of grandeur and reverence.
Upon their arrival, the disciples were inford that they would be assigned to different outer sect halls after they took tests for them. The Azure Dragon Sect had a total of nine public halls in the outer sect, each specializing in a different aspect of cultivation:
Martial Arts Hall focused on combat training and physical cultivation, honing the disciples' martial prowess and battlefield strategies. The emphasis was on the practical application of martial arts techniques and the mastering of various weapon forms.
Alchemy Hall Specialized in the study and practice of alchemy, this hall nurtured disciples to concoct potent elixirs and understand the profound mysteries of dicinal herbs. The ambiance resonated with the deep fragrance of different herbs, reflecting the essence of alchemical studies.
Divination Hall was for those interested in prophecy, clairvoyance, and divination arts. It guided disciples to unravel the threads of fate and predict future events. The hall echoed with whispers of the unseen, an aura of mystery pervading its every corner.
Discipline Hall maintained order within the outer sect; this hall taught disciples about the sect's rules and handled violations. It was a symbol of authority, ensuring the sect operated smoothly and harmoniously.
Talismans Hall specialized in the study and creation of talismans. Disciples were taught to inscribe various talismans that could assist in cultivation, defense, and attack. Scrolls and talismans of various types could be found strewn across the hall.
Forging Hall was dedicated to the creation and refinent of weapons and artifacts, this hall taught disciples the intricate process of artifact forging and weapon refinent. The rhythmic sound of hamrs striking tal resonated throughout the hall, a symphony of creation and destruction.
Administration Hall managed the administrative affairs of the outer sect. This hall prepared disciples for leadership roles within the sect. The hall was a hub of activity, overseeing everything from resource distribution to the sect's external relations.
Astral Studies Hall was for disciples interested in studying celestial bodies and astral energies. They were taught to harness the power of the stars and celestial phenona in their cultivation. The hall was often bathed in ethereal light, reflecting the astral energies studied within its confines.
Each hall was overseen by more than 7,000 outer sect elders and housed more than 60,000 disciples. The variety and scale of these halls gave a glimpse into the comprehensive learning and cultivation opportunities provided by the Azure Dragon Sect.
Beyond these nine halls, the sect harbored several other halls, and rumors whispered about hidden halls known only to a select few. However, to the public eye, these nine were the most well-known, each contributing to the splendor and prestige of the Azure Dragon Sect in its own unique way.
Han Cai was already assigned to the alchemy hall. The Alchemy Hall was further subdivided into nurous departnts, each with its own specific focus and purpose. These included the Elixir Departnt, the Pill Concoction Departnt, the Material Processing Departnt, the Experintal Alchemy Departnt, the Herbs Departnt, and the Poison Alchemy Departnt. Each departnt was a veritable powerhouse, overseen by a formidable cadre of around 800 to 900 elders. A staggering 7,000 disciples were assigned in each departnt.
Disciples were assigned to these departnts based on their individual abilities as determined by the tournant. Han Cai, who perford averagely in all areas, was recognised for having slightly above-average potential in pill concoctions. As a result, he was assigned to the pill concoction departnt.
The day of his arrival was a hive of activity, with new disciples arriving not only from Blue Scale City, but also from a slew of other testing cities. While Blue Scale City had only five disciples, the total number of new disciples joining the Alchemy Hall from all cities combined was over a hundred.
As their ship touched down, an elder from the Alchemy Hall addressed the selected five. "You five, join the group of Alchemy Hall newcors. You'll be registered and dispatched to your respective halls," he instructed.
Han Cai and the others nodded in acknowledgnt, disembarked from the ship, and joined the waiting group of green-robed newcors and so outer sect disciples.
Disciples were promptly registered, their nas recorded, and were inford about their respective departnts and sub-departnts. Han Cai, with his mild expertise in pill concoction, was assigned to the sub-departnt of the Pill Concoction Departnt, known as the Basic Pill Departnt. This departnt was tasked with developing lower-grade pills.
This departnt had around two hundred elders, each presiding over eight to ten disciples. Han Cai was assigned under Elder Du of the Basic Pill Departnt. Elder Du had recently lost a few disciples and was in need of new disciples to guide them. Han Cai, along with another disciple from the test, was assigned to him.
Accommodation was provided to the disciples based on their assigned sub-departnts. As Han Cai belonged to the sub-departnt of the Basic Pill Departnt, he was allotted a place in the outer sect disciples' area of the Basic Pill Departnt.
One of the older disciples took the lead, announcing, "All who are assigned to the Basic Pill Departnt, follow ." Besides Han Cai and the other disciple, Nad He Jun was assigned to Elder Du, and two other disciples were assigned to the Basic Pill Concoction Departnt. All four followed the outer sect disciple.
The disciple led Han Cai and his companions to another treasure ship. This ship was significantly smaller than the previous one, more akin to a ferry than a grand vessel. The group boarded the ferry, joining the throng of green-robed newcors from the Alchemy Departnt. Each of them was under the guidance of a senior outer sect disciple.
