Chapter 77 Preparing to Go to Qingfeng Sect
"Master, listen to me, we must go this way!"
In a deep mountain forest, Li Yingling firmly pulled Chu Xingchen's sleeve and said, "Trust my intuition."
The sect didn't have many people, but tasks still needed to be assigned.
Li Xingtian was responsible for Chen Baiqing's education.
Li Yingling, naturally with the mindset of contributing to the sect, once again volunteered for the mission to find a sect location.
Thinking that an extra person would be helpful, Chu Xingchen nodded and agreed.
This time, they explored a direction they hadn't visited before.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Chu Xingchen not only doubled his movement speed but also dramatically expanded his divine sense.
When Chu Xingchen scanned the direction Li Yingling pointed to with his divine sense, he felt that the spiritual energy seemed even more barren...
It didn't look like a place with any feng shui treasure at all.
Sighing, Chu Xingchen still followed Li Yingling's intuition, taking her into the air and flying directly toward the direction she pointed.
Trusting in the great luck of his eldest disciple.
Li Yingling's eyes continuously scanned the area before them, as she confidently followed her intuition, making slight adjustments to their direction.
After about a quarter of an hour.
At Li Yingling's request, Chu Xingchen stopped in a place with open terrain.
Here, both sides were open, with a not-too-high waterfall where water cascaded down into a small, clear lake.
Chu Xingchen quickly scanned the area. The scenery was indeed pleasant... but the spiritual energy content was a bit low.
Li Yingling had outstanding aptitude and was highly sensitive to spiritual energy. She looked around with confusion, then said with certainty:
"Master, there's no mistake, it must be here!"
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen didn't hesitate to unleash his divine sense with full force, powerfully scanning every inch of the land before them.
Soon, Chu Xingchen locked onto a place where the spiritual power was slightly abnormal.
The location was in the center of the small lake, where the spiritual power was much weaker than in other areas.
Without hesitation, Chu Xingchen opened a protective shield and flew into the water, quickly reaching the center of the lake.
In the center of the lake, there was a dark red stone firmly fixed in place by iron chains.
This stone... seemed to be isolating spiritual power?
Chu Xingchen slightly manipulated his spiritual power, and the dark red boulder was lifted.
Immediately, a pure stream of spiritual power began to slowly emerge from where the boulder had originally been.
This is... an underground spiritual vein?!
Chu Xingchen immediately pushed the boulder back into place.
This place had probably been discovered by someone long ago, but the person who found it likely couldn't establish a sect at that time.
So they first used means to block this underground spiritual vein, hiding this place for future use.
Damn, truly insidious!
As punishment, Chu Xingchen decided to claim this piece of land.
Now he needed to quickly buy some materials to build what he could first, to occupy this location!
After confirming the stone was properly placed again, Chu Xingchen quickly rushed out of the water.
Li Yingling eagerly asked, "Master! How is it?!"
"I'll credit you with the primary contribution!" Chu Xingchen raised his hand and flew with Li Yingling toward Yuzhou City.
In the air, Li Yingling's proud voice came through:
"Master, I told you so! My luck is very good!"
Half a day later.
Chu Xingchen led his three disciples and a pile of materials, rushing to the feng shui treasure land.
Before arriving, Chu Xingchen had already gone to the Demon Suppression Division, registering this land as his sect's territory and submitting a simple report to the division.
He now possessed the legal right to this land!
Zhao Wanqing also owed Chu Xingchen a great favor, so she handled this matter quickly. Chu Xingchen did not have to wait long before receiving the official proof.
Near Yuzhou City, Chu Xingchen could be considered someone with connections.
Chu Xingchen had also thought through the plan for this land.
First, he would set up a Spirit Gathering Array!
Chu Xingchen flew high into the air, and according to the Spirit Gathering Array's diagram, he buried one array base after another.
Li Xingtian and Li Yingling, meanwhile, were processing wood, preparing to build wooden cabins. They would first construct two buildings on this land to assert their claim.
The Spirit Gathering Array was somewhat complex. After Chu Xingchen finished setting it up seriously, he looked back.
He saw his two disciples building the house crookedly. They were not building a house at all, but stacking blocks like building blocks.
They simply inserted untreated wood into the ground, piling up a house as if it were building blocks.
It was extremely unsightly.
Although it was just a casual construction to occupy the spot, they should at least show some respect for their Foundation Establishment status, right?
However, this incident also taught Chu Xingchen that professional matters should be left to professionals. Relying solely on his disciples and himself to build would definitely not be enough.
As for who the professional should be, Chu Xingchen quickly thought of the most suitable person.
His youngest disciple, Chen Baiqing, was still young and had no cultivation to rely on, so Chu Xingchen had her go play to the side or read a book.
So at this moment, Chen Baiqing was sitting quietly on a stone by the lake, reading a book intently.
She was so well-behaved it was almost heart-wrenching.
A pack of preserved fruits was placed beside her, and she slowly ate them while reading.
A fair amount of time had passed, yet there was still much of the small pack of preserved fruits left.
Chu Xingchen called out with a smile, "Baiqing, it's getting dark, time to go home!"
"Okay, Master." Chen Baiqing quickly put away her book, carefully rewrapped the preserved fruits, placed them in her embrace, and then picked up the book.
She ran toward Chu Xingchen with a gentle smile on her face.
She looked quite like a cat waiting to be petted.
Chu Xingchen couldn't resist reaching out and rubbing her little head.
The next morning.
Inside the courtyard residence.
Chen Baiqing had woken up early and was reading intently at the stone table in the courtyard.
Creak...
The sound of a door pushing open was heard. Chen Baiqing looked back and was surprised to find that her master was the first one up today.
She quickly stood up, bowed to Chu Xingchen, and said softly:
"Good morning, Master."
This "good morning" was something Chen Baiqing learned from her senior sisters and brothers. They would occasionally greet each other this way in the morning.
However, Master used it the most.
In the past, when Chen Baiqing heard adults greet each other, most of them said "Morning peace."
But since everyone used it this way, Chen Baiqing naturally followed the custom.
Chu Xingchen walked over with large strides, reached out, and rubbed Chen Baiqing's little head again, saying:
"Good morning, but you don't have to be so formal. Reading so early?"
Chen Baiqing lifted her little head and said, "It's not that early. I'm a bit slow, so I need to spend more time."
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen was speechless... Chen Baiqing was not slow at all; in fact, she could easily be considered smart.
But compared to a genius like Li Yingling... there was indeed a noticeable gap.
Chen Baiqing hesitated for a moment, then, as if afraid of angering Chu Xingchen, she asked cautiously:
"Master, are you up so early because you're preparing to go out?"
Chu Xingchen vigorously rubbed Chen Baiqing's head and said in a gentle tone:
"Yes, I'm preparing to make a trip to Qingfeng Sect."
