"Before entering seclusion, I'll first gather the Mahayana Heavenly Corps for a meeting and lay out a cultivation plan." Li Qingyuan looked thoughtful, then turned to Miao Le and instructed, "Summon everyone."
Miao Le nodded. "Yes, Husband."
Li Qingyuan was the Young Mistress, while Miao Le was now the chief steward of Wind Thunder Peak and a member of the Azure Profound Immortal Sect's Mahayana Elder Council, his capable wife and helper.
A quarter of an hour later, those in seclusion had emerged, and those who had been away or were not in seclusion had all arrived at the Qingyuan Immortal Mansion to hear Li Qingyuan's plans.
In the meeting hall, Li Qingyuan looked around, very satisfied with the Mahayana Heavenly Corps and Body Integration Heavenly Corps he had personally nurtured and built.
"I am eight thousand six hundred and sixty years old this year." Li Qingyuan looked at everyone. His subordinates sat upright, listening respectfully.
Li Qingyuan continued, "Over these years, I have nurtured you, and you have helped me wage war and served me. We have helped one another succeed and supported one another."
"On this long road to immortality, I am very happy to have you by my side."
The cultivators hurriedly expressed their loyalty, saying that they had merely contributed what little they could, and that they owed their present achievements to basking in Li Qingyuan's reflected glory.
Li Qingyuan waved his hand. "You are too modest. The platform and resources were certainly important in bringing you this far, but your own efforts were the fundamental reason."
"But this is not enough. I have higher expectations of you."
Li Qingyuan looked at the cultivators, with Miao Le seated beside him, her position as mistress of the household fully apparent.
