Chapter 381 Coming out of seclusion
Every day is quite fulfilling, refining medicine, practicing and reading, it really feels like a retreat.

In a flash, five years have passed.

Murong Ji walked out of the dungeon of Xiaozhu Peak. He hadn't seen the outside world for a long time and he really felt a sense of longing.

Without saying anything more, he glanced at the light green bamboos around him, focused his eyes, and saw his cheap apprentice, Chang Qingqing.

Chang Qingqing is in her twenties, tall and graceful, wearing Xiaozhufeng clothing. Over the years, she has been trained by Lu Xueqi to be much gentler.

"Master, congratulations on your passing!"

Chang Qingqing couldn't help it, she ran over, hugged Murong Ji's arm, and rubbed it affectionately.

Murong Ji pushed her away with some disgust, "Why are you wearing Xiao Zhufeng's clothes?"

Chang Qingqing said somewhat awkwardly: "Nothing, Master's wife hasn't accepted any disciples yet, so she needs someone to run errands."

Murong Ji ignored him and walked forward. "Where is your master's wife?"

"Master's wife went to Tongtian Peak."

"Well, where's Aomine?"

"Junior Brother Qingfeng was called away by the Master Uncle."

Murong Ji was stunned. As the head of a lineage, he had to be extremely cautious when accepting disciples, especially the first disciple.

The first disciple of a lineage is almost always the heir of the lineage. Cases like Wen Min are extremely rare.

Moreover, the first disciple of a lineage can be taught the Dharma. When one becomes a disciple, it is the eldest disciple who teaches him the Dharma. One can imagine the prestige of the first disciple among his peers.

In other words, if Wen Min did not marry outside the family, even if Lu Xueqi was the head of the family, not many people would listen to her, not to mention that she herself was not good at socializing.

There is no problem for the eldest senior brother to ask Chang Qingfeng to do things. Although he is the abbot, it is not easy for him to order his junior brothers to do this and that. Having such a junior saves a lot of trouble.

Returning to the small courtyard where Lu Xueqi originally lived, he saw that it was somewhat desolate. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and heard Chang Qingqing say, "Master, Master's wife has moved to Jingzhu Pavilion."

Murong Ji suddenly realized that she was the first seat and had to guard the Heavenly Secret Seal. He gave Chang Qingqing a slap and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"You didn't ask!" Chang Qingqing covered her head with her hands, looking aggrieved.

Murong Ji entered Jingzhuxuan and found that it was a large bamboo building, like a villa, with the first floor for receiving guests and the second floor for living.

"Go and do your work. I don't need you to serve me here."

"Yes!" After answering, Chang Qingqing jumped and ran away.

Murong Ji glanced at the furnishings in the house. It was much larger than his own small courtyard. The study and bedroom were separated from each other, but not far away.

The first floor is the alchemy room and the weapon refining room, which are fully equipped.

"Good fellow, you are planning to live in Xiaozhu Peak permanently."

"What? You don't want to? Others who want to live in Xiaozhu Peak are not qualified yet!"

Murong Ji turned his head and looked at the girl who was about the same age as Chang Qingqing. She was very beautiful. The looks of the second generation of immortals have always been online.

Xiao Shi's cheeks were puffed up and she looked at Murong Ji with a resentful look.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why do you have such a big grudge against me?!"

"I've cooked for you for six years! Do you think I'm resentful enough?" Xiao Shi knocked the lunch box on the table.

Murong Ji was stunned. He thought it was Lu Xueqi who made it. "I thought so! No wonder it tastes worse and worse. I thought it was Xueqi's intention, but I didn't dare to say it... You made me suffer!"

Xiao Shi's mouth twitched, and her large chest bulged with anger. "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it!"

As he said this, he picked up the lunch box and hurried outside.

Murong Ji sat at the table, grabbed the food box with his invisible force, opened it, and placed the food in front of him.

"Since you're here, just leave your things behind."

Xiao Shi turned around and looked at Murong Ji angrily. She wanted to curse him, but she couldn't say anything. In the end, she uttered three words, "Shameless!"

Murong Ji didn't care and just ate his meal.

As night fell, Lu Xueqi just came back from Tongtian Peak. Murong Ji heated up some food for her and ate with her.

Lu Xueqi then said, "Senior Brother Xiao is going to formally reform. If it can be implemented, from now on there will no longer be a chief seat, only the elders of each peak. And..."

Lu Xueqi said a lot, and Murong knew very well that Xiao Yicai would never let go of this opportunity to suppress the various peaks. Without further ado, he would take back the rights of each peak.

"Don't worry, as long as the Heavenly Secret Seal is still there, someone must guard it. The disciples of each peak must cooperate, and it doesn't matter whether they are the chief monk or the elder."

Lu Xueqi had some worries between her brows. She sighed and continued, "Brother Xiao, we must recruit disciples from noble families all over the world to join Qingyun Sect. If one day, the sect's skills are leaked..."

"They've raised a bunch of ungrateful wolves. Should we kill them or not?!!"

Murong Ji nodded. It's not like he didn't pay attention to everything in the past ten years. After all, Lu Xueqi was the chief, so she could still get the news. During the monster catastrophe eleven years ago, many aristocratic families were destroyed and their skills were lost seriously. At the same time, many aristocratic families rose.

They invaded the territory of Tianyin Temple and the territory of the three sects of the Demon Cult. It must be said that the war between good and evil was paving the way for them.

Lu Xueqi's worries were not unreasonable. If Qingyun Sect's skills were leaked, Qingyun Sect would be in trouble.

"Let Senior Brother Xiao worry about these things. Why worry so much? Didn't we think of a solution in the beginning? If he doesn't have a backup plan, then this is what he deserves."

Lu Xueqi sighed and continued eating.

The next morning, Murong Ji returned to Dazhu Peak. He took a quick look and was shocked to find that the few buildings on Dazhu Peak had turned into a group of villas.

Murong Ji turned around with his hands behind his back and discovered that there were many other houses and facilities around his yard.

A square was cleared in front of these facilities.

Facing the rising sun, Chang Qingqing led a group of Yuqing level 3 and 4 disciples to practice martial arts. They moved in unison, changing their moves with Chang Qingqing's clear shouts.

With so many people practicing together, they gradually gathered into a force, which gradually promoted their practice.

"This kind of scene could only be seen on other peaks in the past, but now it has also appeared on my Dazhu Peak. Isn't it shocking?"

Hearing the voice of his senior brother beside him, Murong Ji bowed instantly, then stood up and looked at Song Daren. He had become much taller, probably because of his marriage, he looked more mature.

Having been the abbot for ten years and holding great power, his imposing aura becomes more and more like that of his master Tian Buyi.

"It is shocking indeed, but..." Murong Ji pointed with his finger, "What are they doing?"

Song Daren smiled and glanced at the crowd, then slowly said, "You are the successor of the master. If these people have decent cultivation, they will be Qingyun's elite disciples."

Murong Ji nodded. This was not a bad idea.

"A few days ago, Senior Brother Xiao and I discussed changing the time of the Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition to forty years. The next Seven Veins Martial Arts Competition will be ten years later. What do you think?"

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is not going to change the time, but the format. He wants to change the internal disciples' competition into a test for recruiting external disciples... In this case, it would be better to directly add a Qingyun test."

Song Daren nodded, "I'll mention it to Senior Brother Xiao. Let's get together at noon."

There was a lot of food on Dazhu Peak, so Song Daren didn't stay long.

Murong Ji waited until everyone finished the rehearsal and then walked directly into the yard. The yard was still the same yard, but it had been expanded a lot, and a lot of space was used to store materials and medicinal herbs.

Chang Qingfeng sat there with a worried look on his face as he processed the herbs. His dissatisfaction could be sensed from a distance.

"What kind of cultivation?!"

Murong Ji's voice rang out, startling Chang Qingfeng. He stood up hastily, and when he saw it was Murong Ji, he bowed and saluted, "Master, I have reached the seventh level of Yuqing."

Murong Ji nodded, it was okay, "Inform them that there will be a lecture in the afternoon, and those who want to come and listen can get a stool by themselves."

I had lunch with my fellow practitioners at noon, and when I was giving a lecture in the afternoon, I discovered that I already had twenty-six disciples.

You can roughly tell the personalities of men and women by just glancing at them.

Without saying anything more, he emphasized the sect's rules and regulations and began to preach.

A year later, Xiao Yicai finally accomplished the reform. Since then, Qingyun Sect no longer had a chief, only elders.

Thanks to the skills shared by Murong Ji, Chu Yuhong and Chang De from Chaoyang Peak and Luoxia Peak made great progress in their cultivation and barely reached the fifth level of Shangqing. They were not suppressed by Xiao Yicai and still retained the treatment of elders.

In addition, in addition to the Seven Clans Martial Competition of the Qingyun Sect, another competition was added, the Qingyun Test.

Once every ten years, the first time it is set is ten years later.

After getting the specific rules and regulations of the Qingyun Test, Murong Ji was silent for a long time. He had to admit that Xiao Yi was the real deal.

Behind this Qingyun Test, there is an undisclosed rule. The list of people recommended by the local area will be examined by fellow apprentices who work in intelligence, and their character, family and many other aspects will be considered.

Qualifications are the least valued.

Among them, in the Qingyun test, there are countless farm disciples who have been recruited from all over the place. The three-month long training test has everyone relying on their own methods, and the Qingyun sect will not interfere.

Murong Ji's face was full of solemnity. [There may be some human considerations in this.] However, the final result would depend on the results of the first Qingyun test.

Murong Ji's days became busy again. There were still many high-level monsters' corpses and bones that had not been processed yet.

What's more, Qingyun Sect's formation still needs to be improved.

This process lasted for ten years.

There is no time limit for cultivation. At Murong Ji's current level, it is extremely difficult to make further progress. Every step forward will increase his combat power.

Standing in the mountains of Qingyun Sect, Murong Ji carefully sensed the formations above his head and under his feet. From today on, the formation was completely formed.
