Chapter 353 I disagree
Xiao Yicai gave a bitter smile. Only he knew that Qingyun Sect was a mess now. "Brother Murong, stop teasing me. Let's talk?"

Murong Ji nodded and invited them to sit down.

Lu Xueqi poured them a cup of tea and then sat next to Murong Ji.

"I heard that Junior Sister is pregnant? Senior Brother Qi, congratulations."

Qi Hao's expression froze and he smiled bitterly, "The child is gone..." There was some dejection in his tone.

Murong Ji was stunned. He still wanted to see little Qi Xuan, but he didn't expect Qi Xuan was not born yet. "I'm sorry."

Qi Hao waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just fate. My father-in-law and mother-in-law just passed away, Ling'er is thin and emaciated, even if this child is born, I'm afraid it will be born with birth defects. Okay, let's talk business first."

Qi Hao said it easily. At their level, if they want to have a child, they really need luck. This can be seen from the fact that his master and his mistress have only had one child, Tian Ling'er, in two hundred years.

He has been with Lu Xueqi for so long, and except for worrying about her when her cultivation was low, he is not taking any protective measures now, but there is no movement at all.

"Brother Murong, there are only a few of us here. I want to ask about the whereabouts of my master."

Murong Ji looked at Xiao Yicai and said slowly, "The head master went to the Dead Soul Abyss and said that Master Wan's soul was detained there, so he went to find it."

Xiao Yicai was startled and asked in astonishment: "Then, where is the Immortal Execution Sword?"

Murong Ji was somewhat helpless: "The Immortal Execution Sword was taken away by him. Master Daoxuan has already stepped half a foot into the Great Purity Realm. I can't defeat him."

Several people gasped and looked at Murong Ji in amazement. Qi Hao asked unsurely, "Junior Brother Murong, you are not joking, are you?!"

The Taiqing Realm, what a distant realm it is. In the history of Qingyun Sect, the only person who was truly recorded as such was Qingye. However, Patriarch Qingyunzi still speculated that he had reached the Taiqing Realm.

As for the other three sects, they are all speculations. The Xuanhuo Formation of Fenxiang Valley is indeed powerful, and no one doubts that its founder has reached the Yuyang (Taiqing) realm.

No matter what, they can be considered the descendants of the witch Linglong.

But the Tianyin Temple was not so good. It did not have the large formation to protect the mountain. Mahavairocana Prajna was indeed powerful, but it was still a little lacking, and so there were countless messages.

I guess Tiantianyin Temple itself doesn’t know what realm the founder is in.

The Taiqing realm is so rare, and now Murong Ji told them that Daoxuan is half a step into the Taiqing realm. If the Elders' Hall knew about this, then... Daoxuan must be brought back no matter what.

After all, a sect leader at the Taiqing realm is extremely intimidating!

"I'm not kidding. Whether Master Daoxuan can take a step forward depends on his luck."

Murong Ji put down the teacup and suddenly thought of a question. Xiao Yicai was so anxious, could something have happened?
"Brother Xiao, what happened that requires the use of the Immortal Execution Sword?"

After the words fell, everyone's expressions tensed, but they lowered their heads and said nothing. Finally, Xiao Yicai said: "The Ghost King Sect has returned from the wilderness and unified the Demon Sect. In recent days, it has been constantly gathering its followers..."

Murong Ji was startled, but not surprised. It's just... will Daoxuan rush back to the Huanyue Ancient Cave like in the original world?
The Zhu Xian Sword is bloodthirsty in itself, and the evil spirit accumulated on it makes it have a strong inhibitory effect on the Four Spirits Blood Formation and the power of Shura.

The Four Spirits Blood Formation is not some rubbish. Besides being able to seduce people, it is said to be able to improve people's cultivation...

Murong Ji touched his chin. He remembered that the Zhu Xian Sword had a strong restraining effect on the Four Spirits Blood Formation. Thinking about it carefully, what were those restraining effects?
[Improve your cultivation? Could it be that you are following the path of the demon beasts?] He had studied the method of body refining and concluded that the method of using the body qi and blood of the demon beasts as a resource for cultivation.

The effect is more than just good. The resources used by Qingyun Sect today are all resources refined from the flesh and blood accumulated during the great calamity of monsters.

Suddenly, Murong Ji thought of another question. Could this method also have hidden drawbacks? Most monsters were in a daze, and only a few were awake.

Thinking of this, Murong Ji stood up, walked to the desk, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down a method on it.

He turned around and handed it to Xiao Yicai.

Xiao Yicai stretched out his hand to take it, "Xuanhuo Jue?! The method of controlling fire?" As he said that, he glanced at Qi Hao. Qi Hao's Xuanbing Jue, coupled with the cold air and sword formation in his hand, was extremely powerful.

After a closer look, I was shocked. The quality of this technique was not low. There was no fire attack! The flames rising from the body, this was nonsense.

"Brother Murong, what are you doing..."

"I am afraid that using monsters as cultivation resources has disadvantages, so I use this method to make up for the shortcomings, eliminate the evil spirit, and smelt my own blood. I hope Brother Xiao can teach it to all the brothers."

Xiao Yicai looked at Murong Ji thoughtfully. He wanted to take advantage of this free prestige. Thinking back to the past, he was afraid that Murong Ji was changing Qingyun Sect in a subtle way...

"Okay, then thank you very much, Junior Brother Murong. I'll accept this favor." Xiao Yicai said with a fist salute.

He also understood the implication of Murong Ji's words, which was simply to limit the scope to thousands of elite disciples and elders and not spread the news to others.

Magical techniques like the Xuanbing Jue are of good quality and are originally the privilege of elite disciples. It is a good thing to now add the Xuanhuo Jue.

"There is another thing we came here for today, and that is the reform of Qingyun Sect..." After discussing for a long time, they decided on many things. When it came to reducing the authority of the chief, Lu Xueqi frowned and refused, "I don't agree."

"Junior Sister Lu, the seven peaks of Qingyun Sect are now like seven sects, with separate powers and governance..."

Before Xiao Yicai could finish, Lu Xueqi rebuked him directly: "The authority of the other six peak chiefs was determined by the ancestors, how can it be easily cancelled!"

Murong Ji understood what Lu Xueqi meant. The foundation of Qingyun Sect's existence was the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and the foundation of the Zhuxian Sword Formation was the thousand-year-old spiritual evil energy gathered by the seven peaks of Qingyun.

The existence of the Heavenly Secret Seal has determined the current situation. If the authority is taken back by Tongtian Peak, what will happen to the Heavenly Secret Seal? Who will guard it?

If an elder is sent to guard the place, all the resources and disciples of the peak will have to cooperate with him to guard the Heavenly Secret Seal. What is the difference between that and the chief seat? It's just a change of name.

Xiao Yicai frowned and turned to look at Murong Ji: "Brother Murong, what do you think?"

"I think we can find a compromise."

Xiao Yicai's expression became better. "How can we compromise?"

"The inheritance of the seven peaks is deeply rooted. Taking away the authority of the abbot is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. It would be better to retain the authority of the abbots of each peak, unify the management of their disciples, set up a Dharma transmission hall, and select disciples from each peak in a unified manner."

“Those who are suitable for cultivating cold energy will be taught the Mysterious Ice Skill, and those who are suitable for cultivating fire magic will be taught the Mysterious Fire Skill.” Having said this, Murong Ji stretched out his hand and swept across the rows of bookshelves behind him.

"The books here contain all the techniques of the five elements and the cultivation methods of yin and yang. As long as the disciple is talented, he can be taught to become a talent."

"The characters of the selected disciples will be observed. If they are qualified, they will be selected by the elders and accepted as their personal disciples."

"As for the Seven Peaks, I see there are still quite a few houses left on the hillside of the Seven Peaks. We might as well renovate them and build a separate courtyard for disciples. They're just sitting there anyway..."

What Murong Ji said was not too different from what they had discussed. The most crucial point was that the unified teaching and distribution of disciples would be decided by the Elders' Hall.

Xiao Yicai nodded, "In that case, let's merge the First Seat into the Elders' Hall. From now on, our Qingyun Sect will have six elders, who will work with the Sect Master to handle Qingyun affairs."

This time Lu Xueqi no longer objected. After thinking for a while, she said, "Xiaozhu Peak will still only accept female disciples."

Several people were stunned, and instantly understood what Lu Xueqi meant. The woman was weak, and if something went wrong, it would be a devastating blow to her. The existence of Xiaozhu Peak reduced a lot of troubles for the woman.

Murong Ji suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Xiao, you understand the situation from now on. The rise of the aristocratic families is unstoppable, and they have a lot of resources in their hands."

"Now I have obtained a lot of sect skills, I wonder if you have any ideas."

In an instant, several people knew what Murong Ji meant. It seemed a little sudden that Xiao Yicai had already started to plan the chess game of the aristocratic family in his mind.

"No!" Lu Xueqi's face turned pale. Others were not surprised by her opposition, and they could all think of the reasons why Lu Xueqi opposed it.

All of them are orphans, or they are "born children" of Qingyun Sect. All of their roots are in Qingyun Sect.

But what about the people of the aristocratic families? They regard the sect as a banner to rely on. By then, I am afraid that everyone will have a copy of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao!

The most fundamental foundation of Qingyun Sect is Tai Chi Xuanqing Taoism!

Murong Ji smiled and said, "I have already made preparations for Xueqi's worries."

He pulled a booklet from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.

These days, he had nothing to do, but he made a lot of preparations.

Several people looked at it and found that these were the first three levels of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Taoism. When it came to the fourth level, the style changed and it had nothing to do with Tai Chi Xuan Qing Taoism and was very rough.

The foundation laid in this way is... hard to describe, all the way to the sixth level of Yuqing.

After reading the booklet, several people had an idea in their minds: pit! Big pit!

If it were to leak out, those people from aristocratic families would probably destroy their foundation after practicing it!

Anyone who can cultivate to the seventh level of Jade Purity is a good candidate. If one cannot see through a person even after ten or twenty years, then he should not be a Qingyun elder.

After confirming the disciple's loyalty, he would then pass on the authentic Tai Chi Xuan Qing Taoism and start a new cultivation process. When the two are combined, they would benefit greatly.

When you get to Shangqing, you don't need to worry. Between a secular family head and a powerful elder of a big sect, can't you tell which one is more important?

Furthermore, once the skills are leaked out, it means that the Qingyun Sect is truly considered incompetent, and the sect will be destroyed and the world will be unable to say anything.
