The people who were qualified to live in the deeper parts of the Evil Moon Sect were still relatively few. As a result, many of the courtyards in this area were still empty.
Su Jingzhen followed the information brought by the swift messenger insect and accurately pushed open the door to enter a courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, eight figures were sitting with a hint of nervousness.
Su Jingzhen’s gaze swept past them, and his eyebrows suddenly rose in surprise. He had never seen these people before. However, Luo Yuebai’s message earlier had clearly stated that these people were cultivators from the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
Seeing the crowd’s gaze gathering on him, Su Jingzhen directly spoke up, “I am Su Jingzhen!”
Upon hearing his introduction, the eight figures in the courtyard suddenly stood up and then knelt down on one knee, respectfully greeting Su Jingzhen.
“We pay our respects to Lord Su!”
As they knelt, the auras of the eight people were revealed, and they were all at the Golden Core stage.
These people were clearly from the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s martial hall.
Zhao Tianming had said earlier that all fourth-grade alchemists and Golden Core cultivators in the Spiritual Medicine Sect had been branded with a contract seal, making them completely loyal to him.Since Su Jingzhen had Zhao Tianming’s seal, and Zhao Tianming was absolutely loyal to him, it meant that these eight Golden Core cultivators were also his subordinates.
Before Su Jingzhen could ask any questions, one of the Golden Core cultivators spoke up, “Reporting to Lord Su, we were ordered by the Sect Master to come to the Evil Moon Sect as advance scouts.
We request that Lord Su lead us in preparing the future site of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
The rest of our sect’s disciples are already on their way here. The Sect Master also instructed us to inform Lord Su that everything is going smoothly on our end, and we will arrive on schedule.”
Su Jingzhen’s expression was slightly bewildered upon hearing the Golden Core cultivator’s words.
Luo Yuebai had told him the previous night that there would be trouble coming. He had thought that these Golden Core cultivators from the Spiritual Medicine Sect would bring some bad news.
However, things were not as he had expected. According to the cultivator’s words, everything seemed to be going smoothly for the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
Su Jingzhen asked subconsciously, “Everything is going smoothly for the Spiritual Medicine Sect, without any troubles?”
Su Jingzhen’s question seemed to confuse the eight Golden Core cultivators in front of him.
Did the all-controlling Lord Su want the Spiritual Medicine Sect to encounter some trouble?
The Golden Core cultivator who had spoken earlier replied, “Reporting to Lord Su, everything is going smoothly for the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
The Sect Master is still guarding the sect’s entrance, and the sect is slowly evacuating its lower-level disciples to Linjiang City, without arousing any suspicion from other sects.”
Su Jingzhen let out a sigh of relief, but his mind was filled with even more doubts.
Was it possible that Luo Yuebai’s warning was not about the Spiritual Medicine Sect?
However, the fact that the Spiritual Medicine Sect was safe and sound was a good thing for Su Jingzhen, as it was one of his trump cards.
“Could it be that Luo Yuebai was just teasing me? I really can’t think of any other trouble that could be related to me besides the Spiritual Medicine Sect.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, but he didn’t think about it anymore.
Zhao Tianming’s arrangement was reasonable, after all. The Spiritual Medicine Sect had hundreds of people, and the Evil Moon Sect’s current residence couldn’t accommodate them all.
Since the eight Golden Core cultivators had arrived as advance scouts, it was time to start preparing for the arrival of the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s main force.
Su Jingzhen looked at the eight Golden Core cultivators and said, “If that’s the case, then follow me. I will show you the place where we will establish the sect!”
The Evil Moon Sect was adjacent to the vast Clear Wind Mountain, which had an endless area. The Spiritual Medicine Sect’s sect entrance could be built as large as they wanted.
At this point, no matter how the Evil Moon Sect expanded or built, it wouldn’t arouse any suspicion. After all, everyone knew that the Evil Moon Sect was establishing its sect here to develop.
Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate and led the eight cultivators to fly along the edge of the Evil Moon Sect, near the Clear Wind Mountain. After a quick survey, Su Jingzhen chose a location.
This spot was behind Shen Yifeng’s residence, about a hundred meters away. The terrain was relatively flat, and it was close to Shen Yifeng, the strongest person in the Linjiang branch.
If anything happened to the Spiritual Medicine Sect, Shen Yifeng could respond immediately. Additionally, this location was also close to the mysterious valley where the ancient formation was located.
After resolving the secrets of the ancient formation, Su Jingzhen still wanted to turn that valley into the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s alchemy sacred site.
Looking at the dense forest, Su Jingzhen smiled at the eight cultivators and said, “From the front courtyard as the boundary, the entire Clear Wind Mountain is yours to develop as you see fit. You should know better than I what kind of sect entrance and layout the Spiritual Medicine Sect needs.”
The construction process didn’t require Su Jingzhen’s personal involvement.
He had seen the methods of cultivators before, and construction was child’s play for them.
Without waiting for the eight Golden Core cultivators to respond, Su Jingzhen continued, “For now, just demarcate the land. I’ll go find some helpers to come and assist you.”
The eight Golden Core cultivators bowed in response, “We obey your orders, Lord Su!”
They naturally didn’t dare to disobey Su Jingzhen’s words, and this was their mission in the first place.
As soon as Su Jingzhen finished speaking, the eight cultivators began to work without hesitation. They used their spiritual energy to create a series of spiritual seals, and the trees behind them began to fall down.
Although they were high-ranking members of the Spiritual Medicine Sect, they didn’t hesitate to do this manual labor.
Seeing that they had started working, Su Jingzhen nodded silently and headed towards the central area of the Evil Moon Sect.
Rebuilding the Spiritual Medicine Sect on Clear Wind Mountain required more than just the eight Golden Core cultivators. Su Jingzhen needed to find some helpers to assist them.
Although Su Jingzhen had not been involved in managing the Evil Moon Sect before, he thought that there should be a system in place to allocate manpower.
However, after searching around, he couldn’t find any department responsible for allocating manpower.
This made him frown.
“Is this how Luo Yuebai manages the Evil Moon Sect? Is it really a case of ‘non-action’?
How did the Evil Moon Sect develop to its current scale?
Or do they have another way of allocating manpower?”
Su Jingzhen was filled with doubts.
At this moment, he realized that his previous thoughts were wrong. He had always taken a detached attitude towards the Evil Moon Sect, thinking that it was none of his business.
As the Chief Acolyte, he had the right to ignore the sect’s internal affairs.
But when he needed to use people, he found that he was like a monk who couldn’t find his way.
He had been carrying the title of Chief Acolyte, but he was like an outsider, and now he was experiencing the inconvenience of not knowing how to manage the sect.
“It seems that I need to help Luo Yuebai perfect the rules of the Linjiang branch.
As a demonic cultivator, one can be reckless and lawless outside, but inside, it’s necessary to set up some departments and rules.”
Su Jingzhen thought to himself.
As Su Jingzhen was muttering to himself, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
“Mo Bei, come here!”
The person who arrived was indeed Mo Bei.
Upon seeing Su Jingzhen, Mo Bei didn’t dare to be slow and hastily came over.
“Master Su, you… you summoned me?”
Su Jingzhen was usually a recluse in the Evil Moon Sect, rarely seen by anyone.
However, no one in the Evil Moon Sect dared to ignore his position.
Especially Mo Bei, who had interacted with Su Jingzhen before.
He knew that Su Jingzhen was more than just the Chief Acolyte.
“Mo Bei, as a member of the Linjiang branch, you should have some authority, right?”
Mo Bei’s cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, making him a notable figure in the Linjiang branch.
“Master Su, what are your orders?”
Mo Bei knew that Su Jingzhen wouldn’t ask without a reason.
Su Jingzhen didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, “I need you to find 150 Qi Refining cultivators and 50 Foundation Establishment cultivators. Can you do that?”
In Su Jingzhen’s opinion, sending 200 people to help the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s eight Golden Core cultivators should be more than enough.
Even if they were building a sect comparable to the Spiritual Medicine Sect in Tianning City, with the cultivators’ abilities, it would take only three days to complete.
Mo Bei’s expression froze for a moment.
But he didn’t ask any questions and simply nodded, “If Master Su needs it, then of course, there’s no problem.”
Even if Mo Bei’s authority wasn’t enough to mobilize so many people, as long as he said it was Su Jingzhen’s request, most cultivators in the Evil Moon Sect wouldn’t dare to disobey.
Su Jingzhen nodded in satisfaction, “Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you.
Once you’ve gathered the people, don’t come find me. Just head to the back mountain.
There are eight Golden Core cultivators waiting for you. Don’t ask questions, just do as they say.
Just remember, this is all under my orders.”
After saying this, Su Jingzhen didn’t wait for Mo Bei’s response and directly flew off on his sword.
He headed towards Luo Yuebai’s residence.
Since he had decided to help Luo Yuebai develop the Evil Moon Sect, it was best to settle things quickly.
On the other side, Mo Bei watched as Su Jingzhen flew off on his sword, and his expression revealed a hint of shock.
“Sword flight? But Master Su is actually a Body Cultivation practitioner!
I’ve heard that the initial stage of Sword flight for Body Cultivation is the Golden Embryo of the Flesh Body!
Could it be that Spiritual Master Su isn’t just an ordinary body practitioner…?”
His heart was filled with shock and awe.
Previously, Su Jingzhen had been a mysterious figure to the cultivators of the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch.
Now, Mo Bei felt that he had already uncovered a small part of Su Jingzhen’s mysterious veil.
Regarding Su Jingzhen’s previous request, Mo Bei was even more eager to comply.
Mo Bei immediately used a swift messaging insect to gather the 150 Qi Refining Stage and 50 Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and they set off towards Clear Wind Mountain in a grand procession.
At the same time, Su Jingzhen arrived at Luo Yuebai’s residence once again.
He first glanced at the adjacent courtyard of Xuening, from which the fragrance of alchemy still wafted out, indicating that Xuening was still in seclusion.
Su Jingzhen didn’t disturb her and instead thought to himself, “I hope Xuening can break through and exit her seclusion when the Spiritual Medicine Sect’s main force arrives.”
He then entered Luo Yuebai’s courtyard, where the maidservants, upon seeing Su Jingzhen, only bowed respectfully without asking any questions or trying to stop him.
He entered the courtyard without any obstacles and arrived at the private quarters of Luo Yuebai.
Luo Yuebai was wearing a clean and simple black cultivation robe, sitting cross-legged on the grass in the courtyard.
Standing at the door, Su Jingzhen could clearly sense the surrounding spiritual energy, which seemed to be simmering and flowing towards Luo Yuebai.
This effect was clearly due to Luo Yuebai’s powerful cultivation method.
As soon as Su Jingzhen arrived, Luo Yuebai’s aura began to calm down.
She opened her eyes, and Su Jingzhen saw a hint of wildness and evil intent in her gaze.
Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow, knowing that she must be cultivating a powerful demonic method.
Luo Yuebai’s gaze turned towards Su Jingzhen, and she asked in a cold tone, “Is there something?”
But she didn’t know that she was deliberately using this attitude to hide the joy in her heart.
However, she was still exposed by the sudden addition of points.
[Emotional Connection +12]
[Remaining available points: 356]
Su Jingzhen smiled, “Can’t I just come to see you without a reason?”
Luo Yuebai’s eyebrows furrowed, but before she could say anything, Su Jingzhen continued, “Your kick last night was quite heavy. You’ve already injured me severely, aren’t you going to take responsibility?”
As soon as he said this, Luo Yuebai’s face flushed with a hint of red.
As he said this, he had already walked to Luo Yuebai’s side.
He sat down next to her without any hesitation.
Looking at Luo Yuebai’s beautiful face and smelling the special fragrance on her body, Su Jingzhen felt very calm.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Can’t you see I’m trying to cultivate?”
Although Luo Yuebai had already forced Su Jingzhen to reveal his intentions the previous night, she still wasn’t used to interacting with him in this way.
She could only use her cold demeanor to hide her inner shyness.
Despite being a feared figure by many, Luo Yuebai was inexperienced in this aspect.
Su Jingzhen didn’t mind her attitude and smiled, saying, “Actually, I do have something to discuss with you. Do you want our Linjiang branch to develop faster?”
Luo Yuebai’s expression remained cold, but Su Jingzhen could sense a hint of curiosity behind her eyes.
