Wanqing Brought Her Disciples to Visit Yangming

----A few days later, outside Yangming Mountain

"Phew, more than fifty years have passed, I'm finally back."

With a flick of his spiritual eye, Kang Changzhao could easily spot the archway in the distance, Chongming Sect had moved several times, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The archway had been newly coated with a layer of spirit-patterned paint, gleaming with a pale Golden Light under the sunlight, making it far more magnificent than they remembered.

Compared to his younger brother, Kang Changyan, who had also achieved True Cultivator, was slightly more composed and urged him on.

"Quickly check the local products you brought back from Ying Prefecture for your parents and brothers again, so as not to make any mistakes. Also, take out all the items you bought with your two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces last time and look at them one by one."

Remember, that red hairpin you bought at a high price in Fei Household Market must be soaked in jade soup to retain its luster; do not forget that."

"Brother, rest assured, the count has already been checked and there will be no mistakes." Kang Changzhao said this, but in reality, he carefully checked the count as Kang Changyan had instructed.

It is true that their relationship with their elder brothers was not bad, but since they were both over a hundred years old and had brought their families back to live with their father and brothers, they naturally had to do some filial piety.

At this moment, a female Daoist in white robes also gracefully moved to the bow of the ship. Upon seeing the two brothers, she simply instructed them, "When the flying boat lands at the sect, neither of you should rush to see Mother. First, accompany Master to see Father before we disperse."

"Understood, elder sister."

"Just give me your instructions, sister."

The two responded in unison, and there was no need to ask why.

After all, over the years, Kang Lingyi's master Fei Wanqing, not only taught Sect Leader Kang Da's only daughter, but also took good care of the two companions.

To date, not only Kang Lingyi has reached the late stage of True Cultivator, but even Kang Changzhao is only at an ordinary level. Only Kang Changyan's realm is slightly lower, currently only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

However, when these two brothers went to Ying Prefecture with Kang Lingyi, in the eyes of the elders of the Chongming Sect, they might not even have become True Cultivator.

The fact that the two of them could make such progress in their early thirties shows how much effort Fei Wanqing had put into their teaching over the years.

This time, she came to Yangming Mountain on a mission from Ying Prefecture to visit her brother-in-law, the Kang Household, who was no longer the naive girl she once was. She should at least show off her hard work.

Before long, as the Spirit Artifact beside the Fei Household cultivators at the helm changed their luster, the Third Tier flying boat landed outside the archway of Yangming Mountain.

Chongming Sect had received the news early on. He Chang, the He Chang of etiquette, led a group of disciples to stand at the front. This Jade-Faced Gentleman was very eye-catching, and even Fei Wanqing, who had disembarked from the flying boat first, couldn't help but take a second look and feel pleased.

Among the welcoming guests, He Chang was not the only one of considerable importance; the increasingly aged Yuan Buwen also came to pay his respects.

Several years ago, when facing a life-or-death crisis, this old cultivator was not as open and carefree as he had been to outsiders. He almost exhausted all the treasures that the Yuan Household had acquired over the years while following the Chongming Sect in their conquests before finally purchasing a spiritual fruit from the Myriad Treasures Trading Company that could extend the lifespan of those below the Pill Master by ten years.

He then sought a favor from Yuan Xiyue, and with the combined efforts of the three elders of the Chongming Sect Alchemy Hall, the spiritual fruit was combined with spiritual materials to refine True Core, thus extending his lifespan by fifteen years.

However, this resulted in the loss of vitality for the originally wealthy Yuan Household, and also caused Yuan Buwen, the patriarch of the Yuan Household who was originally highly respected in the clan, to lose face.

Over the years, Yuan Buwen had been burdened with so many worries that they almost broke his back. However, upon seeing the Kang brothers, Kang Changzhao Kang Changyan, return, the old man's face broke into a rare smile.

Perhaps only when this time comes can Yuan Buwen finally put his mind at ease.

This is because it's true that some members of the Yuan Household have formed False Core, and it's also true that Yuan Xiyue has some influence over the Sect Leader Kang Da.

However, in Yuan Buwen's eyes, although the successor to the Yuan Household head was False Core cultivator, he could hardly comprehend the subtle details of the "Military Techniques Taught by the Halberd-Holder of the Wood Palace Star Lord," and his skills were naturally weak and incompetent.

While Yuan Xiyue is indeed beautiful now, the fact that she abandoned the Buddha Mother Wisdom Consort Dao in her early years and was able to cultivate again has left her with considerable hidden dangers.

She has been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Peak for one or two decades. During this time, she has received spiritual items from the Sect Leader Kang Da, but she is still not progressing. In Yuan Buwen's opinion, Yuan Xiyue may not be able to advance further and form False Core in the future.

Therefore, Yuan Buwen knew that whether the Yuan Household could continue to share wealth and honor with the Chongming Sect in the future depended on whether Kang Dabao knew about their shared bed and whether these two Golden Core disciples with Yuan Household blood in their veins were any different.

Seeing that Kang Changzhao and Kang Changyan had indeed made progress as he had learned from their previous letters, Yuan Buwen felt truly happy, as if his lifespan had been extended by a few days.

He Chang led his disciples to pay their respects to Fei Wanqing, but did not rush to exchange pleasantries with the Kang Household siblings. Instead, he led the key figures who had disembarked from the flying boat to the reception room.

Fei Wanqing surveyed the newly acquired mountain gate of the Chongming Sect. Although it was still quite shabby compared to the grand mansions of famous families, the brocade inside was well-made and the layout was well-planned. She thought that in a few years, it would have a completely new look.

She had heard from her elders that the Sect Leader Kang Da was indeed outstanding in his cultivation and skills, but his business of cultivating hair was even more remarkable. Even in Ying Prefecture, a place teeming with talent, few could rival him.

When Fei Wanqing arrived, the flying boat he traveled on had stopped in Phoenix Cry Prefecture. During that time, he heard his clansmen say, "Although Huangpi Circuit has been under the rule of the Chongming Sect for less than sixty years, it has already become worlds apart from what it used to be."

It should be understood that Huangpi Circuit was originally a remote and desolate place, and when it was jointly managed by Rouge Temple, Thousand Buddha Grove and Cloud Marsh Shaman Venerable Hall, it was a place where etiquette and music had collapsed.

Not to mention compared to Capital Circuit, which is rich in natural resources and culture, Huangpi Circuit is considered a barren place even among the Three Southwest Circuits, which are known for their tough and unruly people.

But now, upon re-entering Huangpi Circuit, a completely different scene of peace and tranquility unfolds.

Even if we don't say that people would pick up lost items on the road or leave their doors unlocked at night, most ordinary people on the road would at least have Hemp Robe to wear and coarse food to eat.

Regardless of whether they still need to sell their children to afford medicine after contracting the disease, at least they can now seek medical treatment.

Regardless of whether the Evil Cultivator who harvest human flesh for medicinal purposes have completely disappeared here, at least someone is now in charge of managing them;

Regardless of whether the corvée labor is imposed relentlessly regardless of the weather, at least there are now fixed periods of rest in rotation.

In Fei Wanqing's memory, the mortals within the Chongming Sect's jurisdiction, even if they weren't from a paradise on earth, were still comparable to a considerable number of the Fei Household's collateral descendants.

However, their social statuses are not comparable.

Moreover, these fifty-odd years might be considered a lifetime in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, in the eyes of Golden Core cultivator like Fei Wanqing, this could only be considered a relatively long period of time.

She knew that in such a short time, relying solely on the strength of one family at a time, she could clear up the accumulated problems of a thousand years, quell the chaos of hundreds of years, and bring about a new world in this place. What an arduous task that was!

Therefore, Fei Wanqing felt a renewed sense of respect for Sect Leader Kang Da.

Seeing that they were getting close to the Chongming Sect, Fei Wanqing put her mind at ease, left her accompanying maids and guards, and led the Kang Household siblings and others into the hall with He Chang.

Fei Wanqing's trip was at the behest of the two patriarchs of the Fei Household, so the sect Sect Leader Kang Da dared not neglect her. Even though the sect was in dire need of development, he still summoned key disciples and those in charge of the Golden Core Chongming Sect to come and pay their respects.

Leaving aside the tedious formalities of greeting, before the two even got down to business, Kang Dabao glanced at the two men and one woman opposite him, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face. He didn't elaborate further, simply nodding his head to Fei Wanqing in thanks.

It is true that he had not seen his three children for nearly sixty years, but it was not that he had been completely out of touch with them. Not to mention that when Fei Shuhe returned first, she had already told him how diligently Fei Wanqing had taught Kang Lingyi and the other two children.

However, hearing it by ear was never as good as seeing the True Person. Only then could Sect Leader Kang Da finally feel at ease.

After Fei Wanqing took her seat in the host's seat, Yanran smiled and said, "I was entrusted by the two venerable ancestors to visit Marquis of Martial Peace today, and I am truly honored. I did not expect to meet so many local esteemed cultivators."

Regardless of how dire the situation was for the Ying Prefecture Fei Household in the Capital Circuit, it had little to do with the Golden Core Elixir sects within the Chongming Sect 'Chongming Sect. The title of the most powerful family in the world was still deeply ingrained in people's minds, Fei Ye Shui's name was still well-known.

Therefore, Fei Wanqing's polite words made all the cultivators present feel proud.

Kang Dabao was quite adept at speaking eloquently, but before he could respond, Fei Wanqing spoke up again, "So that Marquis of Martial Peace may know, besides renewing our family's friendship, I have another request to make."

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. Please speak freely."

Suppressing his doubts, Sect Leader Kang Da responded softly. Then, Fei Wanqing, after responding, extended her slender fingers and touched the brocade pouch at her waist.

As the red ribbon around the pouch loosened, a jade Jade Slip landed in the delicate, snow-white hand of the woman. Afterward, she parted her red lips slightly and murmured a single word, at which point the Jade Slip was enveloped in a blue light and hovered where Kang Dabao reached out.

Without hesitation, the latter readily took it to examine it.

The Jade Slip contained very little information, which Sect Leader Kang Da memorized in just a few breaths. However, at the same time, his brows furrowed slightly, and when he spoke, his tone seemed to carry a hint of doubt. "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

"This list contains the disciples selected by Ancestor Ye Shui from the Esteemed Jade Hall to the She Mountain Hall. They are all of high aptitude, possessing at least Dual Spirit Root, and are no older than the age of dancing elephants. They can be considered to have achieved some success."

When Fei Wanqing said this, most of the cultivators in the hall roughly guessed her intention.

Sure enough, when the beautiful female Daoist priest spoke again, it confirmed what everyone in the room had thought. Fei Wanqing then said in a crisp voice:

"According to the two elders' idea, since these thirty-six Fei Household disciples have all come with me on my flying boat, it would be perfect for them to become disciples of your sect and to choose a famous teacher to instruct them."

Furthermore, as instructed by the two patriarchs, I have brought with me the fees prepared by the heads of each hall of the Fei Household for the disciples seeking the Dao. The details are transcribed at the end of the Jade Slip; I request that Marquis of Martial Peace review them.

Upon hearing this, not only did Sect Leader Kang Da's expression change slightly, but the atmosphere in the hall seemed to subtly shift as well.

You should know that even though the Ying Prefecture Fei Household is so wealthy and powerful, their Dual Spirit Root are still considered promising talents to be cultivated.

But now, Fei Wanqing, as soon as she opened her mouth, said that there were thirty-six Fei Household disciples who wanted to join the Chongming Sect to seek the Dao.

Of all the households within the Chongming Sect's jurisdiction, who among them could be considered a fool to manage to secure a seat in the reception hall at this time?

For a time, not only the faces of the cultivators in the hall had different expressions, but even the head of Kangda began to sigh:

"The Fei Household is already in such dire straits?"

As a member of the family, Kang Dabao knew that his Chongming Sect had accepted many disciples from nearby Golden Core sects, such as the Ye Prefecture Yang Household and the Ding Prefecture Kuang Household, over the years.

To be honest, this has somewhat violated the rules he established at the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

However, faced with fellow Golden Core cultivators and their relatives and friends making kind requests, Sect Leader Kang Da, being a shrewd businessman, couldn't be completely heartless, so he opened the mountain gates specifically for them.

As for the potential problems that may arise after the political turmoil subsides, we'll have to wait and see.

After all, even the Emperor of Wei and the Palace Master of Billowing Dream rarely issued administrative decrees that were entirely to their Ruyi. It was perfectly normal for a nobody like him, who had some opportunities, to make some changes in line with the circumstances.

However, he had not anticipated that even a disciple of the Fei Household's direct lineage, possessing Higher Vehicle Spirit Vein, would be sent to the Chongming Sect for cultivation with such caution.

Hearing Fei Wanqing's words, Sect Leader Kang Da was momentarily stunned. Fortunately, Duan Anle coughed lightly to remind him, preventing Kang Dabao from losing his composure for too long.

After regaining his senses, Sect Leader Kang Da bowed and apologized to Fei Wanqing before carefully reading through the entire Jade Slip several times, word for word.

When he looked up again, his face showed agreement. "Since it was personally instructed by the two patriarchs, how could I, Kang, hesitate even for a moment?"

However, my Chongming Sect can only be considered a minor sect. If there are any shortcomings in the upbringing of my disciples in the future, I would appreciate your understanding and forgiveness, fellow Daoist and all the esteemed cultivators of the Fei Household.

Fei Wanqing smiled gently after hearing this, and then replied, "If the Chongming Sect can be considered a minor sect, then there are hardly any major sects or factions left in the capital region."

Upon hearing Fei Wanqing's words, the cultivators in the hall were convinced that the Ying Prefecture Fei Household had outstanding disciples who had traveled countless miles day and night to become disciples of the Chongming Sect.

This Chongming Sect was indeed a family that even the Ying Prefecture Fei Household, the most powerful family in the world, highly valued.

Upon witnessing this scene, most of the cultivators in the hall felt even greater admiration for the Chongming Sect.

As soon as the important matter of the Fei Household's disciples becoming apprentices was settled, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became noticeably warm again.

With so many cultivators crowding together, and Sect Leader Kang Da being a hospitable man, he naturally wanted to throw a grand banquet to celebrate. However, this lively atmosphere eventually had to end, and just after midnight, the place was much quieter with the sounds of immortals.

The following day, Fei Wanqing came alone.

Since she wasn't here as an envoy sent by the two patriarchs of the Fei Household, she wasn't as proper as she had been yesterday. When addressing Sect Leader Kang Da, she addressed him as "brother-in-law."

"To be honest, brother-in-law, besides guiding the Fei Household members to join the Chongming Sect, my younger sister has another task to perform here in Ying Prefecture."

"What assignment?" Sect Leader Kang Da was initially a bit of a headache upon seeing Fei Wanqing, as it was difficult to figure out how to arrange for so many Fei Household members who had entered the sect.

However, hearing her say this piqued his interest. Kang Dabao immediately put aside his worries and waited for Fei Wanqing to continue.

The latter asked in a crisp voice, "But I wonder if my brother-in-law is acquainted with Gada, the current Buddhist disciple of Original Response Temple? I'm asking on behalf of Patriarch Tianqin..."
