A Change of Sect Master
However, upon further reflection, he realized that when he first saw that this sect's cultivation method didn't require Spirit Root, hadn't that already overturned his understanding of things for decades?
Thinking about it this way, he felt relieved again.
Since joining the Lingxian Sect, this sect has been constantly challenging my preconceived notions that I've held for decades.
However, all of this is a good thing for Liu Chun.
Because now I am also a member of this sect.
Two days later, Liu Yunan received letters from both Qin Jianghe and Prefect Tong.
Because the Location Sound Transmission Talisman that Liu Yunan sent to Prefect Tong last time contained his own Spiritual Power, Prefect Tong's Location Sound Transmission Talisman are now being sent directly to him.
Liu Yunan looked at the two points of light in front of him and clicked on Qin Jianghe's first.
Then he heard Jianghe He tell him that some rumors had recently surfaced in the city.
It is said that some highly skilled cultivators have blocked the gates of the Shangyang Sect to cause trouble, but the Shangyang Sect's Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation is still quite strong and has not been breached yet.
However, the cultivator remained blocking the entrance to the Shangyang Sect's mountain gate, showing no sign of leaving, seemingly determined to break the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation.
Some Shangyang Sect disciples who had completed their missions outside dared not return to the sect, fearing that they would be targeted by that powerful cultivator for revenge.
Qin Jianghe said that this matter seems to have been going on for many days, but it has only gradually spread among ordinary people in the last two days.
He reminded Liu Yunan it would be best to arrange for people to keep watch around the village recently. If anything unusual is found, the villagers should be notified immediately to go to the sect. Otherwise, if other cultivators come to cause trouble for them, their Xiushui Village does not have Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation.
Even if the villagers get stuck on the Heart-Questioning Road, it doesn't matter, because Lin Xiao said before that the people on the Heart-Questioning Road are protected by the Heart-Questioning Road.
Anyone who probes into it using either their Spiritual Power or Divine Sense will be completely drawn into the Heart-Questioning Road, beginning their journey of inquiry.
At this point, Qin Jianghe's voice disappeared.
Liu Yunan then activated the Location Sound Transmission Talisman for Prefect Tong.
He hadn't expected that the news about Prefect Tong would be somewhat related to the news about Jianghe.
The message from Prefect Tong was that a notice had been issued from above that the leader of the Shangyang Sect had been replaced.
As a prefect, he knew this news entirely because the change of leadership at the Shangyang Sect was not a regular succession.
After the change of leadership, Shangyang Sect offered no explanation or statement of attitude to the imperial court.
Furthermore, they did not respond to any official documents sent by the imperial court.
For a time, the imperial court was unsure of the Shangyang Sect's current stance. Therefore, it issued an official document informing all officials in the entire Hufang Province to cease sending tributes and requests for assistance to the Shangyang Sect until further notice.
After hearing these two seemingly related pieces of news, Liu Yunan pondered for a moment, then got up to find Tietou.
He decided to arrange for people to take turns patrolling and guarding the area around the village first.
Meanwhile, Wen Keming, the magistrate of Anqun County, couldn't wait for his official document to reach the capital. He thought it would take some time before the court saw his report and responded.
He was restless at home every day, so he would go to Xiushui Village every few days.
They waited outside the Heart-Questioning Road, hoping to establish a connection with the immortals above.
One time, he couldn't resist any longer and, gritting his teeth, stepped onto the Heart-Questioning Road.
Not long after, he was pushed out by Heart-Questioning Road.
Looking ahead at the Heart-Questioning Road, and recalling the vivid dream he had just had, Wen Keming fear.
He couldn't help but touch his heart.
Thankfully, it's fake.
However, he dared not go in again.
But it's impossible for him to easily give up the idea of befriending an immortal.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered his trusted confidant to go in.
Just like him, he was soon pushed out by Heart-Questioning Road with a completely bewildered look on his face.
Then, no matter how much he threatened or bribed this trusted confidant, he refused to go in a second time.
Finally, Wen Keming had no other choice. Then, his eyes lit up and he thought of his youngest son Wen Yuejun.
Hadn't he been in there before?
Moreover, I heard that after he went in, he wasn't pushed out, but walked out on his own.
So he quickly sent his trusted aide back to bring his youngest son over.
Unexpectedly Wen Yuejun arrived on his own without him even having to call him.
However, he certainly wasn't going to visit the immortal sect on his father's behalf; rather, he wanted to bring his father back.
Recently, the news that his father, as the county magistrate, had been putting aside his official duties to come to Xiushui Village, a place said to be inhabited by immortals, every few days had already spread throughout the upper circles of their county.
Wen Yuejun felt that his father's behavior was extremely shameful.
This has made him feel somewhat ashamed in front of his friends these past few days.
As a result, the father and son had a heated argument in front of the Heart-Questioning Road.
The two parted on bad terms.
As the rumors spread, more and more people learned that immortals might appear in Xiushui Village, and it seemed that there was even a celestial sect.
As a result, more and more people came to visit Xiushui Village.
As the population increased, more and more families in the village started to take on side jobs.
As a result, the agricultural products from their village also started to sell well.
Many people believe that since there are immortals and immortal sects here, this place must be exceptionally blessed with outstanding people and spiritual energy, which is why the immortals chose to settle here.
Could the immortal have chosen the wrong place?
Of course not!
Since there can't be any mistakes, does that mean the land here is definitely better than elsewhere, and the crops grown here will definitely be better than those grown elsewhere?
Perhaps it even possesses a touch of ethereal beauty!
And so, in a short period of time...
Every household in Xiushui Village now has a lot more money in their hands.
Their fruits and vegetables can be sold at prices comparable to those in the city!
Sometimes there weren't enough to go around, and the tourists would even bid against each other.
Some people with short tempers even come to blows over this.
Fortunately, the village chief, Du Liushui, intervened and persuaded the people to stop, arguing that they shouldn't cause trouble under the guise of a celestial sect.
They also set a price slightly higher than in the city and established a first-come, first-served rule.
The elders of several prominent clans also supported the village chief's decision.
Most people in the village have always obeyed the village chief and clan elders, so when they heard about this rule, although they felt a little regretful that they couldn't earn more, they didn't object or have any complaints.
A small number of people were indignant when they saw that the money they had worked so hard for was wasted because of the village chief's rule.
Knowing that some villagers might disagree, the village chief held a meeting for the entire village and explained the pros and cons to everyone in detail.
Finally, I'd like to ask everyone:
"Do you want to make a quick buck and have a short-lived thrill, or do you want to make this a unique feature of our village and run it for the long term?"
