A Promising Prospect!

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Liu Mu was taken aback and frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Changqing came to find him because of Ran Hua's matter.

Moreover, they still wanted Ran Hua to enter the Inner Sect.

If it were someone else, it would be very difficult to get an Outer Sect disciple to join the Inner Sect.

But now, Chen Changqing's status and position in Mount Shu have undergone tremendous changes.

As the Personal Disciple of the Sect Leader Chen Yuan, his status is almost the same as that of Sequence Holy Son.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Mu came to his senses and said:

"Changqing."

"Given your current status and position, this matter is not difficult."

"But... aren't you going to wait?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, naturally understanding Liu Mu's implied meaning.

Back in the Outer Sect, Chen Changqing and Ran Hua were both gatekeepers, one responsible for closing the gate and the other for opening it.

Spending so much time together, they developed a friendship.

Subsequently, with the help of the AFK Cultivation System, Chen Changqing's cultivation level began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, he led the Seventh Courtyard of the Outer Sect to Champion in the Outer Sect Disciple Competition.

Before entering the Inner Sect, Chen Changqing gave Ran Hua a Nascent Soul Insight as a reward from the competition.

With the Nascent Soul Insight, Ran Hua has now entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

Liu Mu's implication was that with Ran Hua's current strength, he would definitely stand out in the next Outer Sect Disciple Competition, and joining the Inner Sect would only be a matter of time.

After a slight pause, Chen Changqing began:

Elder Liu Mu.

"The Sect Master promised me that if I could advance to the Golden Core Realm within ten years, he would allow me to become the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son."

You should understand what I mean, right?

Upon hearing this, Liu Mu was startled.

He naturally knew what Sequence Holy Son in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land meant.

That would mean having your own independent cultivation ground, and being able to recruit subordinates and form your own faction.

Liu Mu wasn't stupid; he knew that Chen Changqing was starting to recruit soldiers and expand his power ahead of schedule.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Mu came to his senses and smiled at Chen Changqing, saying:

"Alright, I'll take care of this!"

Having said that, Liu Mu didn't linger and got up to leave.

Seeing Liu Mu leave, Chen Changqing did not linger and got up to return to his residence in Azure Firmament Valley.

Before long, the Liu Mu figure had arrived at the Outer Sect.

In a courtyard of the Seventh Courtyard, Ran Hua was diligently practicing her swordsmanship.

"Ran Hua!"

Liu Mu shouted.

"Um?"

Ran Hua paused and looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing that it was Elder Liu Mu, his eyes lit up. "Elder Liu Mu!"

He eagerly stepped forward.

Ran Hua was very grateful to Liu Mu.

Earlier, when the Ran Family encountered a misfortune in Green Mountain Town, it was Liu Mu who found a way to get him into the Inner Sect, which led him to Chen Changqing for help.

Approaching, Ran Hua asked curiously:

"Elder, what brings you here?"

Liu Mu smiled slightly and said:

"I'm here to guide you into the Inner Sect."

"From now on, you are inner disciple."

Upon hearing what Liu Mu said, Ran Hua was shocked, her face filled with disbelief.

He pondered that although his cultivation had advanced to the Foundation Establishment, the Inner Sect shouldn't make an exception and recruit him.

"Elder, what's going on?"

"I want to join the Inner Sect; I can do so through the Outer Sect Disciple Competition."

Seeing that Ran Hua still wanted to make a name for himself in the Outer Sect Disciple Competition, Liu Mu smiled faintly and explained:

"Changqing asked me to come find you."

"He's the one who got you into the Inner Sect ahead of time."

"If you don't want to, I'll go back now."

Upon hearing this, Ran Hua's expression changed, and without thinking, he replied:

"Since it is Senior Brother Changqing's wish, I will certainly comply!"

Ran Hua admired Chen Changqing greatly and worshipped him immensely.

Besides, it was Chen Changqing who had taken Wang Yang with him to Green Mountain Town earlier, helping the Ran Family survive their near-destruction.

Ran Hua will never forget this kindness.

Moreover, Chen Changqing also gifted him the Superior-Grade Law Artifact, the Shadow-Bearing Sword.

In Ran Hua's view, she owed Chen Changqing far too much.

"Alright, pack your things and come with me!"

After tidying up, Ran Hua, led by Liu Mu, entered the Inner Sect.

Along the way, Liu Mu briefly told Ran Hua about some of Chen Changqing's activities within the Inner Sect.

After hearing what Liu Mu said, Ran Hua was completely stunned.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, Chen Changqing had already become the Sect Master's Personal Disciple in the Inner Sect.

"Senior Brother Changqing is truly terrifying!"

Ran Hua quietly praised him, her admiration for Chen Changqing growing even stronger.

Soon, Liu Mu led Ran Hua to Chen Changqing's residence Inner Sect Azure Firmament Valley, an inner sect sect.

At this moment, Chen Changqing was playing with the Little Black Dog Wangcai in the yard.

"Senior Brother Chen!"

Upon seeing Chen Changqing, Ran Hua excitedly rushed forward.

He knew very well that Chen Changqing was no longer the same person he once was at Mount Shu; he was no longer the Personal Disciple.

"They've arrived."

Chen Changqing smiled faintly, then chatted with Ran Hua about everyday matters.

As they were chatting, he suddenly waved his hand, and several Jade Slip slips floated out.

"Um?"

Seeing this, Ran Hua frowned slightly, puzzled, and said:

"Senior Brother Chen, what's going on?"

Chen Changqing didn't waste any time and said directly:

Ran Hua.

"These Jade Slips contain rubbings of your Ran Family's traditional martial Cultivation Method."

"Let's return it to its rightful owner today."

"From now on, you will stay by my side and cultivate yourself. Are you willing?"

After hearing what Chen Changqing said, Ran Hua didn't think too much about it and immediately nodded in agreement.

"It is my blessing to be able to cultivate under Senior Brother Chen."

Earlier, when Ran Hua left Green Mountain Town, Ran Hua's father repeatedly told Ran Hua to be sure to befriend Chen Changqing in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.

After all, the future of the Ran Family in Green Mountain Town is entirely tied to Chen Changqing.

Now, Chen Changqing clearly wants to recruit Ran Hua into his ranks, so how could Ran Hua refuse?

Ran Hua then carefully put the Jade Slip away.

Chen Changqing didn't pay any attention to this.

After becoming the Personal Disciple of the Sect Master Chen Yuan, he had the idea of starting to cultivate his own people.

Ran Hua was the first person he thought of.

Although Ran Hua's talent wasn't particularly outstanding, he was extremely loyal to Chen Changqing.

Time slips away quietly.

In the blink of an eye, quite some time has passed.

During this period, Chen Changqing began to intentionally cultivate his own team.

He won over both Wang Yang and Qingyang.

Upon learning that Chen Changqing wanted to recruit them, Wang Yang and Qingyang did not refuse.

They were all well aware of Chen Changqing's future potential.

If they can secure a strong connection with Chen Changqing, they will surely rise to prominence in the future!

In addition, Chen Changqing also expressed his intention to recruit Liu Mu.

Liu Mu naturally did not refuse.

After all, he had been investing in Chen Changqing since his time Outer Sect.

Now, Chen Changqing has become the Sect Master's Personal Disciple and will become the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son in the future.

Liu Mu is naturally willing to follow such a promising stock!

And so, time passed day by day.

After becoming the Sect Master's disciple, Chen Changqing spent his days either sleeping or walking his dog and sunbathing!

He looked exactly like a spoiled brat.

The inner disciples, seeing this, naturally had many complaints in private.

What's going on?

"Has Chen Changqing fallen from grace since becoming the Sect Master's disciple?"

"He became lazy after becoming the Sect Leader's disciple."

"What a pity!"

"Such a lack of ambition is truly pathetic!"
