Bai Chao came to the section where the Cheng family was, held Cheng Yuanyuan's shoulders, and looked her over and over.

After confirming that the person was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been knocked unconscious before Sui Guanxian made his move, and didn't know what had happened. Now seeing everyone's shocked faces, he hurriedly asked, "Are Brother Mingxiao and the Great Immortal okay?!"

Li Xing pointed to the VIP stands.

Bai Chao saw a dead body lying there, and since the clothes were not what Ming Xiao and the other man were wearing today, he felt relieved.

Princess Biyun asked the Venerable to send her to the Cheng and Bai families.

Everyone bowed to Princess Biyun very respectfully, but they didn't know what she wanted.

Princess Biyun looked solemn and asked Cheng Yuanyuan, Li Xing and Bai Chao to explain the origins of the two men.

Because before the game started, the three of them came with those people.

Cheng Yuanyuan said she didn't know where those people came from.

Princess Biyun: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"I really don't know. When they were participating in the preliminary round in Changli, I went to watch the show for Duan Xuan and found that they were very good. For the sake of the Cheng family, I wanted to make some friends with them, so I invited them to have a meal at Yuexianlou."

Cheng Yuanyuan scratched his face, a little embarrassed: "I had a verbal engagement with Duan Xuan. My father agreed with him that as long as he could win the first place, he could marry me. But he was probably worried that he was not a match for Bai Chao, so he used the third magic weapon on Bai Chao in the last competition, causing Bai Chao to fall into a coma, and Duan Xuan was also arrested by you and thrown into jail."

Bai Chao was picky and omitted some details, only saying the key points: "It was that person who saved me, and he also exposed Duan Xuan's tricks."

Li Xing nodded: "What they said is true, I saw it with my own eyes."

Cheng Yuanyuan: "From the beginning to the end, that person never told us who he was or where he came from. Before today, we only knew the tip of the iceberg of his strength. We have never even seen his true face under the veil."

The Venerable knew countless people and could tell whether someone was lying at a glance. These three people did not seem to be lying. He signaled to Princess Biyun with his eyes. She sighed helplessly: "According to what you said, he helped Miss Cheng and saved Young Master Bai. If so, he must not be a very evil person. Maybe I am worrying too much."

Cheng Yuanyuan waved her hands repeatedly: "Although we have only known them for a few days, we believe they are not bad people! I promise! You see, there were so many people here who wanted to kill people and steal treasures, but they only killed those people and didn't hurt anyone else!"

Li Xing added: "Yes, Princess, I also believe that they are not bad people and will not cause any negative impact on Guangting."

Princess Biyun nodded: "I will explain the situation to His Majesty."

Bai Chao suddenly asked, "Didn't they say before that we could go to a certain mountain outside of Changli City to find them, and if we successfully reached the top of the mountain, we would have a chance to become a sect disciple?"

Cheng Yuanyuan: "It seems so. Do you want to go?"

Bai Chao: "Don't you want to go?"

*

Sect.

Sensing their return, Zhao Yun hurried over and complained bitterly: "What on earth were you doing out there!?"

Ming Xiao: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Since three days ago, on average, there have been people shouting outside the barrier every half an hour. Some of them looked like mortal farmers, saying they were in trouble and wanted to ask us for help; a few monks in black and gray came and said that someone in our sect had killed their disciples and wanted to ask for an explanation, but they were chased away by Mu Yu and I; a man drove a carriage over and gave us a cart of clothes, saying that someone had custom-made them; the most outrageous thing is that there were a few low-level cultivators who wanted to ask if our sect would recruit disciples... What on earth did you do outside!!!"

"Tsk." Mu Yu crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "When you go out to play without us, we have to clean up all the messes."

Sui Guanxian glanced at them calmly and floated towards his own courtyard: "Send the clothes to my courtyard."

How could Zhao Yun dare to be really angry with him? He quickly smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes, Master, I'll be right there!"

She kicked her brother on the butt: "Go and bring clothes to the master. I'll have a good talk with these little brats."

Mu Yu covered his butt and walked away cursing silently.

Lu Jinzhao pretended to stretch and took the opportunity to slip away on the flying sword, leaving Mingxiao and Rong Ying confused to deal with Zhaoyun.

He first went back to his own residence, and waited for Mu Yun to go in and out again wearing clothes, before he flew into Sui Guanxian's courtyard and took out a Qiankun bag containing all the things he had recently gained. "Here are all the things I have gained recently. Hand them in."

"Aren't you going to use it to repair the sect and recruit more disciples?" Sui Guanxian flicked his sleeves and opened the brocade boxes on the table one by one. The new clothes inside floated in the air in a circle, making it easier for him to see the whole picture. He sat leisurely on the soft couch and began to examine the clothes one by one. "You can spend them. I don't need these mundane things. If you don't have enough, ask me for more."

A light blue robe first caught his attention. It was embroidered with elegant water ripples. Sui Guanxian reached out and touched it gently, but frowned slightly: "Although this material looks thin, it actually feels a bit rough. It will definitely not be comfortable to wear. Don't wear it."

After saying that, the robe slowly floated to the side under the movement of his fingertips.

Then, a long dress embroidered with plum blossoms floated in front of Sui Guanxian. The plum blossoms were bright and full, almost jumping out of the fabric. He took a look and said, "The color is too gaudy and does not match my temperament. I don't want it."

The long skirt also flew away.

A men's long gown, with dark purple as the main color, embroidered with lotus patterns, made of extremely precious Tiancan silk. Sui Guanxian gently stroked it, with a satisfied look on his face: "This is not bad, the material is top-notch, and the style is quite to my liking."

Lu Jinzhao sat in meditation and watched him pick out clothes. In the end, he only found one or two pieces that he was satisfied with. He couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he scanned the size of the clothes, found the clothes he designed when he was drawing the character design, selected the light and comfortable fabrics, and customized them with one click in the system mall.

But in a few moments, the clothes from the mall were ready and appeared in his hands. He handed them to Sui Guanxian and said, "Try this."

Sui Guanxian opened the gift box and saw a sky blue color. He slowly reached out his hand, picked up the clothes and gently unfolded them.

It is embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, which appear and disappear as if flowing. Gently touching the clothes, the material feels extremely delicate, as smooth as flowing water. The cutting is also very clever, and the lines are smooth and natural.

In a second, he summoned the water mirror, and Sui Guanxian's silver pupils showed surprise: "You are really thoughtful, kid."

Seeing that Sui Guanxian liked his designs, Lu Jinchao felt relieved and customized some cheongsams, Ming-style, Song-style and other clothing. After all, our ancestors had a very strong aesthetic sense.

"Regarding recruiting disciples, I think we should expand the sect first." Lu Jinchao showed him the rough blueprint he had drawn. "You said that there would be five direct disciples, so we only built five disciple residences. But it is normal for direct disciples and outer disciples to live separately, so this part can be left unchanged. We can open up another mountain for the other outer disciples to live in."

"Secondly, we have the infrastructure, but we also need to build a canteen, a college, an alchemy room, a library, a training center, a spiritual medicine garden, a meeting hall, a warehouse, a martial arts arena, and a teleportation array. We will also keep all the captured monsters in captivity and put them in the back mountain."

"It would be best if we could separate the seven main peaks into sword, magic, weapon, talisman, elixir, formation, and beast control, so that disciples with different talents can practice separately."

Sui Guanxian praised: "Not bad."

Lu Jinzhao: "But the above are not the most troublesome things. The difficult part is where to find teachers to teach them. After all, it is easy to catch strong ones, but the basic training methods are completely different."

"Hehehe, now it's my turn to take action!" Chitose put his hands on his hips, "I have a holographic projection teaching prop here, which can customize the teaching content. And the most amazing thing is that when it teaches, it doesn't just read the content on the PPT rigidly, but it can integrate the input content on its own, and scientifically arrange the courses step by step according to the difficulty of the content. When students ask questions, it can also answer them according to the content. It doesn't have personal emotions, nor will it be partial to any student, and it will not do anything that is unethical. It's perfect!"

"Sounds good." Lu Jinchao opened the mall and saw the plain-looking prop. He bought seven copies directly, lined them up, and placed them in Sui Guan's idle room. He said, "Master, please give them some of the content you know. It doesn't need to be too profound, just enough to reach the Divine Movement Stage. For the rest, we can give them one-on-one tutoring when some of them reach the Divine Movement Stage."

Sui Guanxian stretched out his bony hand, and several transparent threads extended from his palm, connecting to the unremarkable stones. He asked casually, "Why?"

"I'm worried that the junior disciples will not be able to restrain themselves and will try to secretly learn the techniques of the senior disciples, which could easily lead to disaster."

"That makes sense. I'll do as you say."

Ming Xiao and Rong Ying were still explaining to Zhao Yun when suddenly there was an earthquake. The sect's main hall and the entire mountain slowly floated up into the sky. The stairs under their feet began to extend infinitely. They didn't bother to continue talking and summoned their own magic weapons to fly over to check the situation.

When I floated near the main hall and took a closer look, I saw that it was indeed Sui Guan Xian.

Zhao Yun: "Master, what are you doing?"

"Rebuild it." Sui Guanxian just moved his fingers lightly, and several giant peaks in the surrounding mountains were uprooted and became floating mountains floating next to the main peak of the hall.

The hollowed-out ground was directly razed to the ground and turned into fertile farmland, so that if disciples and their families settled there in the future, they could be self-sufficient.

He turned the mountains upside down and shook them in the air. The birds were frightened and scattered. The beasts fell down and were wrapped by spiritual power and sent to be captive under the main peak.

Lu Jinzhao and Qiansui unfolded the blueprint and gestured: "Let's add a pond here and put the sea beast egg we won back in it to hatch it later."

"Add a few plum blossom poles here. The martial arts arena will not be complete without jumping poles."

Sui Guanxian maintained an elegant and decent smile, pinched Lu Jinzhao's face with one hand, and directed the construction work distractedly, with a cold tone: "It's fine if you use the sketches to order me around, but why is Jianfeng's so detailed? You are using public resources for personal gain and playing favorites, right?"

"Hehe." Lu Jinchao grinned with a childish face, "The Sword Viewing Pavilion, Sword Tomb, Sword Washing Spring, Sword Discussion Platform, and the residences of the disciples at Jianfeng, I leave them all to Master."

"Okay, okay, we have almost everything we need." Qiansui flipped through the blueprints, "Don't forget the ladders and the sect protection barrier."

But after a moment, Rong Ying was stunned when he saw the sect that had been completely renovated and expanded hundreds of times. "You said you wanted to recruit more disciples, are you serious about it??? I thought you were just talking."

"I almost forgot about you." Lu Jinzhao glanced at them, thought for a moment, and arranged: "Don't be idle, both of you. Go find some nearby villages to buy some food, cloth, livestock, etc."

Ming Xiao nodded: "I understand."

The sect had Sui Guanxian's powerful and inexhaustible spiritual power as its foundation, and in just one hour, it had been rebuilt to look like a real estate. Lu Jinzhao checked every place one by one, repaired some small details himself, and was basically satisfied.

After the exterior is built, the interior needs to be filled in, such as furniture and mattresses in the disciples' residence.

In the end, these were handed over to Ming Xiao and Rong Ying for purchase.

Zhao Yun and Mu Yu were assigned to manage the captive monsters. In fact, they didn't need to do anything special, the power of the beasts was not boasted for nothing, they only needed to roar at the disobedient monsters and they would basically behave.

Lu Jinchao went to the back mountain and dug up a large stone. He used Liubu to cut it into a square shape, placed it at the entrance of the sect's ladder, and prepared to use spiritual power to carve words on it.

Sui Guanxian saw it and took him away by the collar: "You can't write well, let me do it."

"Nonsense, I practiced it specially." Lu Jinzhao crossed his arms to express his dissatisfaction. In order to make his signature look good, he practiced his penmanship for a long time and successfully changed his elementary school student handwriting.

"I mean your writing habits." Sui Guanxian traced the stone with two fingers: "What are you going to write?"

“I know, I know!” Qiansui popped his head out: “‘Those who enter this door should cut off all emotions and love, and stay away from the world’ Uh-huh——!”

The kitten's mouth was covered by Lu Jinchao. It patted the back of its host's hand with an accusing look. Lu Jinchao ignored it and said, "It is written on the stone tablet: 'Knowing the difficulties, beware of arrogance. Always reflect on yourself, and you will know the way out. Don't dwell on the past, and you will ascend to the sky early.' That's it."

He cut another wooden sign and said, "Write on this sign 'Those who wish to climb this ladder must have good moral character and be diligent and motivated'."

Sui Guanxian paused for a moment and said, "No more?"

"That's all." Lu Jinzhao put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Those with good moral character are not likely to practice evil ways; those who are diligent and motivated will not be in vain. Having both is a quality that is more valuable than talent."

Sui Guanxian carved the words on the stone tablet, picked up his little disciple, patted his head and said, "That's right. I will set up some simple illusions on the ladder to initially screen the qualifications of the outer disciples. The subsequent process will be left to you."

"Got it. I'll go back and work out some necessary procedures later." Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Master, do you have a magical instrument that can measure spiritual roots? When the time comes, the disciples we recruit will need to decide which peak they will be assigned to based on their talents."

"Yes, I will put it in the west hall later."

"Okay, then in three days, we will open the mountain gate and officially start recruiting disciples." Lu Jinchao thought for a while, "Oh, and we need to hire a teacher to teach them calligraphy. After all, in this martial arts world, children born in poor families may not have the opportunity to go to school. If they can't read and understand the martial arts, it's useless."

Sui Guanxian: "Well, it's up to you."

"Let me think, what's missing..."

Sui Guanxian held him in his arms, and climbed up the stairs step by step, saying softly, "Think about it slowly, there's no rush."

"Oh, yes, we also need to set up an external commission office." Lu Jinchao tapped his palm, "Outer disciples have made progress, so they can use their talents. They can accept commissions from ordinary people to help deal with hooligans, monsters that destroy farmland and bring disaster to the world, and casual cultivators who pretend to be gods, as well as climate change, etc."

"In this way, the outer disciples will be able to have their own rewards, and the world will be peaceful and harmonious."

"If the common people can't give us that much in return, our sect will compensate them. This way, the property can be circulated and there won't be a monopoly. We can also clear out a lot of Master's excess inventory, and it won't fall into the hands of outsiders. When we go to places like secret realms to plunder, we'll have more motivation."

Sui Guanxian: "He is not very old, but he has many clever ideas."

Lu Jinzhao: "My Lord, do you have any functional props that can identify the level of the commission? Buy one and put it in the East Side Hall."

Chitose raised his paw in salute: "Got it!"
