At the Ink Cloud Marsh Thatched Cottage, Duties Were Discussed; on Yangming Mountain, Recruiting Worthies Met a Setback

(Thanks to Guo Qiuqiu for the 10,000 coins reward)

----Six months later, Ink Cloud Marsh

The turbulent situation in Capital Circuit, Ying Prefecture Province, has not yet reached here.

As dawn broke over the dark green mountains of Ink Cloud Marsh, a layer of pale blue mist seemed to rise from the black marshland. When exposed to the colorful light, it turned into dew, dripping onto a few strands of water plants and sliding down, splashing up tiny ripples of Spiritual Qi that made the newly sprouted green ferns around them glow.

Kang Rongquan stared calmly at the few newly sprouted flower buds in front of him. The tips of the buds were glistening with the lingering moonlight, giving them a faint pink hue. His face was full of satisfaction.

Zhu Yunsheng, the interpreter of Huangpi Circuit, was also enjoying a rare moment of leisure. His fingertips unconsciously brushed away the spirit-guiding vine that was wrapped around his sleeve. The vine was lush and green, with silver patterns on the edges of its leaves. It was a unique companion Spirit Plant of Ink Cloud Marsh.

He had finally managed to find time to visit his senior brother, only to be dragged to this field.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in farming, he knew what Kang Rongquan's intentions were regarding this sacred field.

Zhu Yunsheng's gaze swept over the vast expanse of aquatic Spirit Plant in the distance. At this moment, they were unfurling their leaves under the morning dew, and a large cluster of purple flower spikes was faintly visible in the spiritual mist, yet they possessed a vibrant and beautiful charm.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Yunsheng didn't harbor much resentment, but simply chuckled softly, "Senior brother, you're being a bit too meticulous."

Kang Rongquan merely chuckled softly, raised his hand to gently brush aside the calyx of the Purple Spirit Heart flower before him, and where his fingertips brushed, the bud seemed to swell slightly, as if nourished. He then spoke in a low voice:

"The task personally assigned by my great-uncle is to cultivate all sixty-one kinds of spiritual flowers and herbs of various grades required for Foundation Establishment Pill, as well as all nine hundred and seventy-two kinds of Spirit Plant of various grades recorded in the 'Preliminary Record of the Three Southwest Circuits,' in the twelve prefectures under the sect's jurisdiction. After years of hard work, we are finally seeing some signs of the task being completed. How can we not be happy?"

Zhu Yunsheng smiled at first, then nodded repeatedly.

Looking towards a spirit field outside the Great Swamp, several First Tier Yellow-Eyed Sparrow were pecking at spirit insects, their wingtips brushing against the spirit grains, scattering countless fragments of spiritual light.

He is now considered outstanding among the disciples of Double Brightness, and naturally knows how important the task Kang Rongquan has been given.

"It's because we're incompetent that our senior brother has to work so hard."

Even though Zhu Yunsheng had taken a shortcut and achieved False Core, he still showed considerable respect when facing Kang Rongquan, which demonstrated the latter's high prestige among his fellow disciples.

"Stop saying such meaningless things," Kang Rongquan seemed to scold lightly, casually breaking off a piece of flowing cloud grass still covered in dew.

The blade of grass transformed into a wisp of pure spiritual energy in his palm, drifting to the spiritual field outside the marsh, causing the surrounding Spirit Plant to sway slightly.

Zhu Yunsheng was marveling at how much his Senior Brother Kang's skills in farming had improved when he heard the latter whisper in his ear, "You all just need to do your jobs well within the sect."

Kang Rongquan glanced at Zhu Yunsheng again before saying, "My great-uncle has been in seclusion for many years before he was able to take charge of affairs. He instructed his Junior Brother Jin not to cause too much trouble, lest they find fault with us again, like last time, and make things awkward."

The latter immediately adopted a solemn expression and said respectfully, "Senior brother, rest assured, the instructions have already been given."

"Hmm, remember that. They are all disciples of Double Brightness after all; they can be fought, but not defeated," Kang Rongquan glanced at the flocks of beneficial birds in the field again, and then spoke:

"Now that you are traveling, you may make more friends with knowledgeable people from all over the world. I heard that Junior Brother Qi has been assigned a post, and it seems that Hundred Arts Pavilion will be recruiting a new batch of retainers to serve him."

This path is not limited to any particular cultivation technique; as long as one possesses some solid skills, they can remain within the sect for service, with a fairly high annual salary. For those free Rogue Person, it's a good career option.

Zhu Yunsheng agreed to Kang Rongquan's arrangement, and the latter and Jin Shilun were fiercely competing. Now, the two were even vying for power in places like Hundred Arts Pavilion, which was originally not very prominent in the sect.

As for the various prefectures, counties, and townships under the jurisdiction of the Chongming Sect, they were all subject to the same custom.

However, as Kang Rongquan had warned before, although the two sides appeared to be at odds, they still maintained a certain degree of restraint.

To be honest, the prosperity of the Chongming Sect over the past fifty years can be attributed not only to the few bad decisions made by Sect Leader Kang Da since he took the helm, but also to the competitive atmosphere of the sect.

The two brothers chatted for a while longer. It was a rare meeting, so Kang Rongquan led Zhu Yunsheng to the thatched hut he had built by the Ink Cloud Marsh. Although the hut was built quite elegantly, the interior was rather shabby.

Zhu Yunsheng saw that apart from some Spirit Plant seeds and farming tools, there was only a beautiful woman cooking tea and porridge. It was clear that although Kang Rongquan was one of the most prominent figures in the Chongming Sect, he was also quite simple and unassuming.

As the Huangpi Circuit Tongshi, Zhu Yunsheng, who wielded great power, not only achieved the False Core in recent years, but was also so captivated by worldly wealth and pleasures that he became somewhat out of place in this world.

But he dared not show the slightest disgust in front of Kang Rongquan. As soon as he stepped into the reeds, he bowed to the beautiful woman.

"Yun Sheng greets his sister-in-law,"

The woman didn't seem to come from a humble background; she was very generous when guests arrived.

She smiled at Zhu Yunsheng, then whispered a few words to Kang Rongquan, and then, knowing the proper etiquette, handed the thatched hut over to the two brothers to talk. Afterwards, she went to the fields and cast a few spells to weed and cultivate seedlings.

"This Golden Core cultivator is indeed extraordinary," Zhu Yunsheng sighed inwardly. Even with his current status, it wasn't impossible for him to obtain Golden Core cultivator.

But if one were to seek someone like Kang Rongquan, who, after Yang Wuwei of the Golden Core Yang Household arranged a marriage proposal and had his Golden Core Eldest Daughter bring a large dowry, would still be willing to forgo her finery and live a simple life with him in various thatched huts, Zhu Yunsheng would likely be someone one could not obtain even in a hundred years.

Kang Rongquan's good fortune was partly due to Yang Wuwei's high regard for his abilities and future; another factor was the added benefit of the Chongming Sect plaque.

In fact, among the senior disciples of the Chongming Sect, quite a few have married noble ladies.

Of course, most of these still require the permission of the sect's masters to be carried out.

In recent years, perhaps because Sect Leader Kang Da no longer worries about his disciples being lured away by sweet words and generous gifts, he has become quite lenient regarding marriage alliances between his disciples and wealthy and powerful families outside the sect.

Among the younger generation, besides Kang Rongquan becoming the son-in-law of the Ye Prefecture Yang Household, Jin Shilun also found a descendant of the Jade Water Sect to be his second wife after Mo'er's death.

Later generations, such as Wei Gu, Han Xundao, He Yuanyi, also benefited from these advantages.

However, Chongming Sect's style remained consistent: lenient in marriage proposals but strict in dowry proposals.

Even though they've taken in so many daughters from other families, the only female disciple who can truly be considered significant among those who have married out is Zhang Le, who married into the Jade Moon Shan Household many years ago and became their matriarch.

As a result, the Jade Moon Shan Household rose in status and became a prominent family within the Chongming Sect.

Although they knew the benefits of marrying a female disciple of the Chongming Sect into their family, they saw that even members of the Golden Core sects couldn't get one, so most families had given up on the idea.

Compared to Kang Rongquan, who only got married in recent years, Zhu Yunsheng was much more enlightened. Back when he was still young, he had already married a fellow disciple before his fellow disciples.

Although the couple usually enjoyed harmonious music and poetry, he lacked the support of his wife's family compared to his fellow disciples, which caused him some frustration.

Seeing how Kang Rongquan had trained Yang to be so obedient, Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a little envious.

However, since he had already advanced to the Pill Master, and the Chongming Sect had always emphasized the cultivation of mind and character, Zhu Yunsheng only sighed a few times in his heart before calming down from his troubles and speaking:

"Senior brother, do you know that our sect leader intends to recruit several high-level Rogue Person to join the sect as retainers?"

Kang Rongquan chuckled softly, then casually added a ladle of animal milk to the rice porridge his wife had just cooked. A flash of inspiration struck him, and a few green plums slipped through his fingers and fell into the pot. Once the milky smell had dissipated from the fire, he personally handed a bowl to Zhu Yunsheng.

"Why discuss matters that are still unresolved? This is new grain that was just harvested this year; try it and see what it tastes like."

The latter accepted it with both hands, took a few sips, and found it tasteless, but said on the surface, "This spirit grain is indeed worthy of being cultivated by my senior brother; the taste is exquisite."

"Don't try to fool me with those words. Your tongue has been spoiled by the delicacies served to you by those wealthy and powerful families. How could you possibly taste anything special?"

Kang Rongquan shook his head, not even glancing at Zhu Yunsheng's embarrassed expression, and simply filled a bowl for himself and began to eat with relish.

"This Spirit-Nourishing Grain is a recipe I obtained from the Pill Master I killed last time. It was cultivated by sixteen Second Tier cultivators who spent half a century of their lives cultivating it. They worked tirelessly through spring, autumn, winter, and summer, burning the midnight oil, and only then did we see results."

Zhu Yunsheng only became interested after hearing Kang Rongquan's words. He pondered the matter carefully for a while, but the quality of this spirit grain was not high enough to fool his discerning palate as the Pill Master. After a short while, Zhu Yunsheng asked:

"This Spirit-Nourishing Grain seems capable of nourishing mortals?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yunsheng's words, Kang Rongquan's expression brightened, and he heard the former nod and say, "Indeed, if any mortal could consume one he of Spirit-Nourishing Grain each year, able-bodied men could strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives; healthy women could also replenish their Qi and Blood and give birth sooner."

"According to my senior brother, this item is good, but it consumes spiritual soil, and its implementation will be very costly. It's a pity that it's only good for mortals."

Zhu Yunsheng shook his head for a while. In his opinion, this grain was not a good way to make money. What kind of spiritual grain would mortals need to chew on? Even the cheapest alfalfa would be fought over by livestock that had not yet reached the next level. It was unlikely that it would end up in their mouths.

"You've already reached such a high position, how can you still be so short-sighted?!" Kang Rongquan laughed. "Don't you think about how many people my Chongming Sect could produce each year if this Spirit Valley were implemented? And how many more immortal seedlings could be created?!"

Not to mention that Huangpi Circuit is a remote and inaccessible place, and most of the people there live in the more prosperous areas along the road.

If this Spirit-Nourishing Grain can ensure a full population in the twelve states under the sect's jurisdiction in the future, then those originally impoverished places can be sent to cultivate and develop more people, including cultivators and mortals.

At that time, will my Chongming Sect have a much wider supply of spiritual soil?! And will we be able to collect more resources?!

The person sitting opposite Kang Rongquan was not stupid. Upon hearing the former's explanation, Zhu Yunsheng immediately understood.

But then he suddenly slammed his hand down, causing the bowl of porridge in front of him to crack in several places, and said in a cheerful voice, "If our sect leader knew, he would surely be delighted."

Kang Rongquan was not surprised by his reaction, but frowned as he looked at the cracked rough bowl. After a while, he said, "Of course. My great-uncle's reputation for benevolence is well-deserved. If this Spirit-Nourishing Rice can be promoted, I will be happy."

However, it is not the time to boast yet. Although the Spirit-Nourishing Grain has been successfully cultivated, it requires a lot of spiritual soil and is not easy to plant.

"Only when we can cultivate a few seedlings in the fields of ordinary people can we truly consider it a great success, and only then will we have any glory in our sect."

Zhu Yunsheng clearly agreed with Kang Rongquan's vision, nodding repeatedly. Just as he was about to speak, Kang Rongquan interrupted him.

"However," Kang Rongquan paused here, then continued, "The things that benefit mortals are not only done by my Spirit Plant Hall. The Artifact Hall researches suitable spiritual tools, the Mountain Script Hall dredges the earth's veins and water systems, and so on."

The Beast Garden distributes unranked livestock to various counties and townships for farming and sericulture, as well as for the tasks of exorcising demons and slaying evil spirits in the Merit Points Hall. The number of such livestock can reach thousands per month. Under the constant urging of our masters, has our Chongming Sect ever had a moment of peace?

Zhu Yunsheng chimed in at the opportune moment, "Senior brother is right, but in my opinion, the achievements of the other halls are nothing compared to even a fraction of what Senior Brother's Spirit-Nourishing Grain accomplished."

"Can you believe that?" Kang Rongquan's face hardened, his tone carrying a warning. "If Junior Brother Jin's fellow disciples are truly this useless, how could they have cultivated six or seven out of ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivator the sect?"

"It was a slip of the tongue, Junior Brother," Zhu Yunsheng paused, then continued, "But after Senior Brother attains the Golden Core stage..."

"Junior Brother Jin may not have Core Thesis, but he has many outstanding successors. As for us? Counting them up, we're just Yuntong."

Kang Rongquan sighed, and Zhu Yunsheng blushed. The latter put down his porridge bowl, bowed, and said, "We have not only fallen Lower Vehicle in cultivation, but also in teaching our disciples. We are truly ashamed."

"No need to blame myself, as if I were certain I could attain the Golden Core Elixir."

Seeing that Kang Rongquan had finished his bowl of rice porridge, Zhu Yunsheng knew it was time to say goodbye. He cupped his hands and said, "Since you have finished your morning work, I will not bother you any longer. I will go and pay my respects to my fellow senior brothers and sisters before heading out to do my work."

Kang Rongquan also stood up, casually picked up the Storage Bag hanging in the corner of the wall, which contained several stones of Spirit-Nourishing Grain seeds that shimmered with a bluish light, and handed it to him:

"These are newly harvested seeds. Take some to Tanglu and let him see. He is the governor of all the counties in Cloud Horn Prefecture, which is one of the most important places under the jurisdiction of my Chongming Sect Cloud Horn Prefecture. You can have him recruit some ordinary farmers in the prefecture and counties to try planting some, and then select some ordinary people to eat for a while to test its effectiveness."

Kang Rongquan chose to conduct this splendid event on the territory of Jin Shilun's eldest son, which shows that his previous admonition to Zhu Yunsheng to "fight without breaking apart" was not empty talk.

Zhu Yunsheng took the cloth bag with both hands. Although it was clearly a mustard seed Law Artifact, it felt slightly heavy in his hands.

He glanced down, then looked up out the window.

Yang was squatting on the edge of the field, her fingertips glowing with a pale green light. She gently touched a tender leaf, and the withered spots on the leaf's edge instantly disappeared, replaced by a lustrous sheen.

Farming is not considered a respectable profession in the Immortal Dynasty, and the sight of a Golden Core cultivator working in the fields is probably hard to find anywhere else in the surrounding area.

"I truly admire your character, Senior Brother and Sister-in-law," Zhu Yunsheng sighed sincerely. "From now on, I will certainly follow your example and have fewer frivolous thoughts."

Kang Rongquan smiled upon hearing this and patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful on your way back, and do more practical things in your daily life."

"Recently, there have been many Demon Beast attacking the eastern side of Ink Cloud Marsh. I have personally transferred a group of disciples from the Spirit Plant Hall to guard the immortal roots. If your Interpreter's Office still has manpower available, you can also send some over to assist me."

Zhu Yunsheng responded, then bowed slightly in the direction of the spirit field as a farewell to Madam Yang, before turning and leaving the thatched hut.

As soon as I stepped across the threshold, I saw that the morning mist had dissipated, and the golden sunlight shone on the spirit field. Patches of Purple Spirit Heart flowers swayed gently in the wind, attracting several Yellow-Eyed Sparrow to circle above them, pecking at the spirit insects among the leaves. The spiritual light that fell from the tips of their wings landed on the ridges of the field, condensing into tiny specks of light.

He walked along the path beside the spirit field, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the Storage Bag.

Kang Rongquan's words were still echoing in his ears. The five words "do more practical things" had greatly relieved most of the annoyance he had felt earlier because of the "help from his wife's family".

He used to think that once he took control of the Huangpi Circuit Tongshi (a position in the Daoist temple), he should be able to move around among the various prefectures and counties, dealing with all the powerful and wealthy, and handling all the important matters. However, he forgot that the foundation of the sect was actually rooted in these spiritual fields, these mortals, and these seemingly trivial matters.

Upon reaching the edge of Ink Cloud Marsh, they saw the attendants and entourage waiting there with their Second Tier spirit steeds.

The saddle and bridle on the horse were embroidered with the gold-script emblem of Huangpi Circuit Tongshi, which was far more luxurious than Kang Rongquan's thatched cottage.

Zhu Yunsheng mounted his horse, but instead of immediately urging it on, he turned back to look at the thatched hut hidden among the spiritual mist and fields.

Kang Rongquan had already picked up the spirit hoe quite naturally and bent down to turn the soil in the field. Yang stood beside him and handed him a sickle inlaid with spirit patterns. They were perfectly in sync, yet they showed no trace of the noble demeanor that should have been present in these two people.

"Let's go." Zhu Yunsheng said softly to his attendants, then looked away, a sudden realization dawning on him.

The Cloud-Treading Colt leaped up on a shimmering light, its hooves skimming the water's surface, startling several egrets perched among the water plants. Its wingtips brushed the water's surface, leaving a trail of ripples.

After his figure disappeared in the direction of Cloud Horn Prefecture, Kang Rongquan was still turning the soil in the spirit fields of Ink Cloud Marsh. Yang came over, handed him a handkerchief, and said softly, "Junior Brother Zhu is quite insightful; your many teachings have not been in vain."

Kang Rongquan wiped the sweat from his brow, looked towards Cloud Horn Prefecture in the distance, and laughed, "There are plenty of fellow disciples in the sect like Junior Brother Zhu right now. Fortunately, they are only temporarily blinded by the wealth in front of them. It's good that they can be awakened."

As my great-uncle said, our Chongming Sect has a very weak foundation. Because of his good fortune, the entire clan suddenly became rich after being poor, which will inevitably lead to some drawbacks.

If the disciples of this sect have impure thoughts and improper intentions, they will be like me back then, and may very well cause great disaster. However, as long as the disciples of our Chongming Sect are willing to calm their minds, none of them are bad."

After speaking, a hint of self-satisfaction appeared on his face. Then he bent down, picked up the hoe, and walked deeper into the field.

There is also a newly cultivated spirit field there, waiting to sow the seeds of the Spirit-Nourishing Grain and to hatch Kang Rongquan's Core Thesis.

---- Yangming Mountain, Meeting Room

"Senior Guhongzi, your preaching this time must have been arduous." As Ye Zhengwen spoke in a pleasant voice, he pointed his finger and Spirit Sealing landed on the table opposite Guhongzi.

The latter has given numerous lectures to the Chongming Sect over the years and has maintained regular contact with all the leaders of the Chongming Sect. He is also a free-spirited Rogue Cultivator who earns his living through his own abilities.

Having heard Ye Zhengwen say this, he became less pretentious, swept his Divine Sense across the area, and calmly accepted it.

After the Spirit Stone was put into his bag, the old cultivator's smile deepened, and he then praised:

"It is said that your sect Sect Leader Kang, Kang, is fond of using firewood for cooking, but I feel that there are few families in the vicinity as generous as your sect. It seems that there are too many mediocre people in this world, which makes talented people jealous and thus invites slander."

Ye Zhengwen laughed as he listened. He knew that although his sect leader was usually a bit stingy, he was never hesitant to spend money when necessary.

This Guhongzi is insightful and highly accomplished, so we must treat him with sincerity. We cannot ruin our friendship over a few trivial matters.

You must understand that some truths, even if missing just one word, are completely different. Sect Leader Kang Da has plenty of ability to amass Spirit Stone, but he doesn't need to be stingy here.

To be honest, if Guhongzi hadn't already been recruited by the Ying Prefecture Fei Household, Sect Leader Kang Da would most likely have considered hiring him to serve as Chongming Sect.

With the transaction completed and both parties enjoying themselves, Ye Zhengwen brought up another important matter. "I wonder if there's been any progress on the matter I asked you about before, senior?"

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Ye, there are quite a few free Rogue Person around here who are acquainted with me, and many of them are happy to have a place to stay. Keke sect has very strict rules, and even though the annual salary is generous, it is difficult to find a few like-minded and upright individuals."

When Guhongzi spoke, there was a lot of confusion in his tone. He had been cultivating for many years and, because his teachings were profound and insightful, he often frequented the homes of the wealthy and powerful.

He also knew that all the rules and regulations in the world were essentially the same.

It's one thing to inscribe something on Jade Slip, but whether the head of each household should set an example and how to discipline their disciples is another matter entirely.

A family like Chongming Sect, is truly rare.

It must be understood that while Kang Dabao has indeed been in seclusion for many years, Third Master Jiang's flying sword has already caused a great many deaths among the Huangpi Circuit. Among the lives taken by the latter were not few newly promoted cultivators or seasoned Pill Master.

Rogue Cultivator is inherently difficult for independent cultivators, and high-level Rogue Cultivator are even rarer. They come from humble backgrounds and fight against fate all the way, yet they don't know how many hardships they have endured.

Therefore, they have become accustomed to using extraordinary means for cultivation. Jiang Qing's previous actions were not only to make an example of someone, but also made the Chongming Sect, which had the ability to control a path, awe-inspiring and difficult to approach.

Ye Zhengwen understood the reasoning behind Guhongzi's words. Otherwise, Chongming Sect could have recruited honest and Rogue Cultivator to do the work themselves. Why would they need to ask the Fei Household, a guest with no connections, for help?

Therefore, Ye Zhengwen was not discouraged. He simply thanked Guhongzi gently and then explained, "I hope you know that my family has always been particular about having a legitimate reason for doing things, and that we must punish those who have been taught a lesson. This rule was set by the sect leader and has been proclaimed in various prefectures and counties for many years."

Those who live peacefully in the twelve prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Chongming Sect, regardless of whether they are minor or advanced cultivators, are all safe and secure; however, if anyone insists on testing the law, then regardless of whether they are Qi Refining or Golden Core Qi Refinement, they will all be subject to trial according to the rules of our sect to determine their crimes.

Guhongzi knew that Ye Zhengwen's words were true, but while the principle was sound, it was difficult to accomplish. Even for someone like him who had cultivated his Golden Core for many years, it would take a great deal of effort to do so.

It is truly remarkable that Kang Dabao was able to lead a group of mediocre people to advance Chongming Sect to such an extent.

Guhongzi paused for a moment, then said, "However, since this matter was personally entrusted to me by Fellow Daoist Ye, how dare I take it lightly? In a few days, I will meet some fellow Daoists and may inquire about them one by one. Perhaps I will find someone who is inclined to follow your sect's teachings."

"Then thank you very much, Senior Guhongzi." Ye Zhengwen bowed and escorted Guhongzi to the outside of the archway before stopping.

Guhongzi had already turned to leave, but at the last moment, he stopped and looked back, scrutinizing Ye Zhengwen for a while longer, and said softly:

"Logically speaking, having cultivated for hundreds of years, I know the importance of not speaking too frankly to those I don't know well, and I shouldn't say much in front of Fellow Daoist Ye. But the path you've chosen is simply too dangerous. Simply too..."

Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes widened in surprise, and the smile on his face gradually faded. However, he did not say anything more, but bowed again to the illusory image left by Guhongzi before turning around and entering the archway.

With his thoughts in mind, Ye Zhengwen walked to the outside of the sect leader's room. Whenever Guhongzi finished his sermon, the Sect Leader Kang Da would always take time out to come out and point out the way for his key disciples.

In his words, Guhongzi's teachings are like rain falling from the sky, which can be effective on thousands of acres of fertile land. However, if someone were to dig canals and build dams specifically for certain fields, the miraculous effect of this rain would be even greater.

At this moment, many important figures of the Chongming Sect were waiting outside the cloud room. Even though they were usually decisive and ruthless in their actions, they were now all obedient and didn't even dare to make a loud noise.

Outside, the disciples bowed to Ye Zhengwen, who then hastily returned the bow. Once the restrictions on the Cloud Chamber were lifted, he stepped inside first.

At this moment, Kang Dabao was holding the Spring and Autumn Brush Edge, ready to give a lecture to the disciples who came in later.

To be honest, the Chongming Sect has been able to produce so many talented people over the years is inextricably linked to the instructions that the sect leader gave him before he went into seclusion.

Ye Zhengwen and Kang Dabao, however, seemed to have a tacit understanding. Before the former could speak, the Sect Leader Kang Da interjected, "Could it be that Senior Guhongzi has no one to recommend him?"

Seeing the former nod, Kang Dabao was not discouraged, as if he had already made a plan in mind. Afterwards, he murmured, "I feel that the Fei Household has been making quite a few moves lately. Seeing these moves, I thought of recruiting some like-minded people to prepare for potential dangers even in times of peace."

"Alright," Sect Leader Kang Da shook his head again and said softly, "We can postpone the matter of finding an honorary member. But the sect competition next month will require your help Old Ye."

"Yes,"

"And that?"

The morning mist had dissipated, and the spiritual light of Yangming Mountain spilled into the cloud chambers. At that very moment, another large fleet of ships from the Ying Prefecture Fei Household, which had moved from the capital region, was also about to enter the sky above Mountain North Circuit.
