After the mountain protection formation was set up, the entire area suddenly expanded several times compared to before. In order to frighten several transformed monsters in the Wanshou Mountains, Cheng Ling specially moved the sect master's hall to Hulukou.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a lake in the middle. The aura inside is also very rich, making it very suitable for living. Liu Qingyan surrounded the gourd's mouth and transplanted all the spiritual plants and fruits she had obtained in the past few years. As a result, the sect's resources are even richer.
Cheng Ling divided the sect into an inner sect and an outer sect. The original sect remained unchanged and was set up as an outer sect. After entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, there is the inner gate area, where the aura is richer than the outer gate.
He followed the practice of Famous Sword Academy and ordered people to build attics one after another. These attics serve as the living quarters of the inner family members, and there are powerful seals outside each attic. Naturally, he does not need to arrange these bans personally.
He posted these as tasks in the sect master's hall, and all the disciples of the array hall could go and receive them. With the establishment of the attic, the secret cultivation realms were also placed under the guidance. From now on, only the first sons who have reached the Nascent Soul level can become the first sons of the inner sect.
As for the promotion of the second son, assessment and other matters were all handed over to Xuan Wuxiang. The distinction between inner and outer sects is only for ordinary disciples. In order to strengthen the sect's auxiliary means, Cheng Ling also specially divided the alchemy weapon array into four halls.
Each hall entrance has a large area, and the resources inside are not much different from the inner door area. The time to recruit the disciples of the sect has ended, and the four halls of the Dan Fu Weapon Formation have obtained several highly talented disciples.
After Cheng Ling saw it in person, he appointed one of the monks named Fu Jian as the master of Fu Hall. He was born in a talisman family, and his talisman-making level reached the third level. It was only because of his family's decline that he thought of finding a future in the Wuxiang Sword Sect.
Cheng Ling was very satisfied when he saw it. Fu Jian's ability to make talismans was secondary. The most important thing was his pure nature. Such people would not have too many fickle thoughts.
He also knows that Futang can be said to be the weakest among all the halls. For this reason, he specially gave Fu Jian hundreds of millions of high-grade spiritual stones and asked him to acquire Fu Dao books at all costs. Fu Jian burst into tears of gratitude and felt that his trip was worthwhile. He made up his mind to let Futang catch up with the other three halls.
The Dan Fu Weapon Array has corresponding manpower and development direction, and Wu Chenlong is also in full swing in the battle hall. He followed Cheng Ling's instructions and made all kinds of training, assassination, intelligence and other plans very detailed.
When Cheng Ling discussed this with him, Wu Chenlong was shocked. He didn't expect that there were such special means that could achieve the same effect, which was completely different from what he had thought before by relying solely on his own cultivation. But when I think about it, it becomes clear. Following Cheng Ling all the way, the Fiery Sect and the Blood Sea Sect have never defeated the strong with the weak. There are countless ways to defeat the enemy.
After some guidance, he naturally understood in his mind that the crossbows, smoke bombs, Mitsubishi daggers, and night clothes were all ready, and he was just waiting for the first sub-competition to discover a batch of new blood, and then proceed. Systematic training.
With Wu Chenlong watching, Cheng Ling felt very relaxed, and all aspects of the sect were moving towards the ideal situation. But Liu Qingyan's words made him hesitate. She meant to use this period of time to solve Xi Yan's problem, so as not to delay it.
Cheng Ling also thought about it. Originally, he wanted to wait for Bai Suzhen to recover before returning to the Wuxiang Sword Sect, then hold a grand wedding or something, and marry them all at once. As for whether it is four or five, it depends on Bai Suzhen's attitude.
But Liu Qingyan's reminder made sense. Xiyan had been with him for so many years and had always been attentive and considerate, and she was deeply in love. It would be really unjustifiable if she didn't give him an explanation.
After thinking about it, he decided to make it clear to Xiyan first that Gu Youlan and Bai Yiyi were not here, so he wanted to marry him alone.
Liu Qingyan and Xi Yan were really not easy to deal with, so they could only coax them first.
Xi Yan is still the master of the sect's Dan Hall, so Cheng Ling went to the Dan Hall. When I came to the alchemy hall, I saw that the disciples were all talking about alchemy in full swing. During Xiyan's absence, alchemy was promoted to the sixth level. After returning, he will teach it to the disciples. The disciples are very interested.
Cheng Ling didn't interrupt and walked straight to the backyard where she was.
Go through a long corridor and come to a small garden. The garden is full of flowers, fragrant and dotted with potted plants and green plants. The overall environment is very beautiful.
Cheng Ling nodded secretly. Xiyan's background gave her a touch of noble noblemanship, unlike Liu Qingyan and others who only thought about cultivating Taoism.
One can imagine how valuable it is for such a woman to accompany him through so many life and death situations. My heart suddenly softened, and I walked gently into the backyard room.
In the side room, a slim figure was sitting in front of the desk, motionless, with his back to the door. Cheng Ling quietly went in, came up behind her, and hugged her tightly.
Xi Yan was startled, and instantly sensed Cheng Ling's breath, and her body softened. Cheng Ling looked up and saw that he was deducing a prescription. This elixir recipe was obtained from the Canghai Dragon Palace. It contains a sixth-grade elixir called Lianyi Dan.
This elixir is of great help to monks in understanding the artistic conception and can improve their understanding in a short period of time. It's a pity that the recipe is incomplete, and there are several materials that have never been detailed. Cheng Ling hugged her and said, "Xiyan, the deduction of Yidan is of great help to the sect. Thank you for your hard work."
Xi Yan huddled in his arms like a kitten and said softly: "I know, after more than half a month of deductions, we have some clues. Brother Ling, why are you here today?"
"I came to see you. I have been very busy these days and have very little time to spend with you!"
Xi Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she became happy again in an instant. She said a gentle "grace" and stopped talking.
The two hugged each other for a moment. Cheng Ling thought that some things must be said by men, so she said: "Xiyan, I know what you are thinking, but Sister Bai has not recovered yet. When she recovers, we will hold a meeting in the sect. A wedding, will you marry me?"
Xiyan's whole body was shaken, and she could no longer hold back her tears. She leaned her head lightly on Cheng Ling's shoulder and said, "Yes, Brother Ling, I have always been willing. Thank you! Thank you very much!"
"Don't say that. You have been by my side for so many years. I have delayed you."
"No, I am willing to do so. Not to mention just twenty years, even two hundred years, as long as Brother Ling is willing, I will wait for you."
Cheng Ling was so moved that he couldn't bear it any longer and kissed her on the small mouth. Xiyan cried with joy, turned around, and went up to her, shouting in her heart: Brother Ling, you are finally willing to have me!
Early the next morning, Cheng Ling left the alchemy hall in high spirits, leaving Xiyan alone slumped in the room with a happy smile on her face.
Returning to the sect master's hall, Liu Qingyan came up to him, rolled her eyes at him angrily, and said, "Why, you finally couldn't help but do something bad to Xi Yan?"
Cheng Ling chuckled, hugged her and said, "Don't you always want this? It's still early, why don't we try harder!"
Liu Qingyan pushed him away angrily and said, "You, the great sect leader, only think about good things."
Cheng Ling chuckled and asked strangely: "It's really strange. As a half-demon, Xie Feng is extremely difficult to have children, but Yun'er can get pregnant. Why can't you and Youlan get pregnant? Don't we work hard enough?" ?”
Liu Qingyan spat and said: "If a monk wants to get pregnant, he must stop practicing for a long time. Because our daily practice,
Although you are absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, your own essence, energy and spirit are also being refined. Didn't your master teach you how to refine the essence into qi, refine the qi into spirit, refine the spirit into emptiness, and refine the emptiness into Tao? "
"Moreover, the higher the monk's cultivation level, the stronger his ability to refine his essence. Therefore, if you really want me to get pregnant, you have to stop practicing for at least a few years."
Cheng Ling clicked his tongue, he really didn't expect this. Presumably Liu Yun's cultivation level was not high at that time, and Xie Feng's bloodline was somewhat special, so he gave birth to a new life! However, the current situation is really not suitable to stop practicing, and the plan to have a child can only be aborted.
The two laughed and joked for a long time, and then Cheng Ling asked about the sect's situation.
Liu Qingyan said: "There will be a sect competition in two days, and some outstanding disciples should be discovered by then. Now, among the several halls of the sect, the sword hall is still the strongest, but with the resources of Canghai Dragon Palace, In more than ten years, several other halls should be able to keep up."
"As for the expansion of the sect, it is now at the end and will be completed in a few days. For the two trade routes you planned, Liu Wenlin has already left for Canglang Island, and thousands of his sons are going with him. The situation will soon change. It will develop in a good direction.”
"Oh? Uncle Lin left so soon. Where is Xixi? Did she go with him?"
"That's not true. She is not enthusiastic about cultivation. She has not made any progress for more than twenty years and is still in the golden elixir stage. However, she has become quite familiar with Zhang Hu recently and runs to the Qi Hall whenever she has nothing to do."
Cheng Ling was startled. He really didn't expect this. Could it be that Liu Xi fell in love with Zhang Hu?
Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "What, you can't bear to let go? Do you also like that girl?"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and said hurriedly: "It's nothing, it's just the friendship we grew up with since childhood. That's fine, that boy Zhang Hu won't treat Xixi badly."
Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and continued: "There shouldn't be big problems on the Canglang Sea side, but things are a bit bad in the south. Song Yuan has repeatedly told Sect Leader Xuan that the trade routes in the south are becoming more and more difficult, and this has happened several times Unexpectedly, the sect’s disciples lost several batches!”
Cheng Ling was startled and asked: "What's going on? Is it the suppression of the seven major forces in the south? It shouldn't be. The Famous Sword Academy is here, so they are not that bold!"
"The details are still unclear. Master Xuan has sent people to investigate. The strange thing is that so long time has passed and there has been no news from Jian Yinghao and others. Nothing will happen!"
Cheng Ling pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "Probably not. The seven major forces in the south are not enough to challenge the strength of the Famous Sword Academy. Unfortunately, the situation in the academy is complicated. Brother Jian and the others must have been held back!"
Liu Qingyan thought for a while and felt relieved. With the cultivation of the three sword heroes, the seven major forces in the south were no match for them. She felt relieved and asked again: "When are you going to go to the center of Canglan Continent?"
"After the competition, I will leave for it!"
"Then I'll go with you!"
Cheng Ling shook his head and said: "No, this period of time is the key to the development of the sect. Moreover, since you have advanced to merge, your understanding of the way of heaven has not yet been fully replenished, so you can use this period of time to make up for it. It is more convenient for me to go alone. Don't worry. , as long as you find those materials, you will naturally come back!"
"With Xi Yan and others watching, how can the sect change? I went to the center of Canglan Continent for training back then. Although the time was very short, I only stayed in the periphery for less than a year. After all, I have some experience and let me accompany you. Isn’t it just right for you to go?”
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly and said: "If you go together, maybe Xiyan will also go. By then the sect will be even weaker. Besides, I also want you to take some of your disciples to the Sword Tomb for training. Where can I get away? I'm going to go alone!"
Liu Qingyan had no choice but to give up her original idea and let him go alone when she saw that he was very persistent.
