I am rich in the fairy world

Chapter 1429 The Efforts Behind Countless People
Hu Qing and Su Shancai sat down in their large suite, and Fan Lao and Yang Tianxiao and their group hurried in.

No one stood on ceremony and everyone took their seats, some drinking tea and others drinking wine, all looking tired and worn out from their long journeys and tireless work.

Hu Qing asked in surprise, "Master, uncles and aunts, are you going to dig a ladder to heaven?"

The influx of miscellaneous people into the Cunzhong Realm has caused many troubles, but the Nine Sects and Nine Clans have absolute control over the Cunzhong Realm, and the current sect leaders and clan leaders should be handling those matters. So why is everyone so tired?
The chieftain waved his hand: "Has the Arctic Temple contacted you?"

Hu Qing: "Just those four times. After that, I said I wasn't going, so they stopped calling me."

The clan chief looked relieved. He was really afraid that his elders would use Hu Qing to the point of death. Fortunately, Hu Qing had her own ideas, and the Arctic Temple did not force her to do anything.

The second clan chief laughed and said, "The Arctic Temple can't possibly summon her anymore. Look how busy she is, snatching all the Imperial Seals. Isn't she pleased?"

The second half of the question was directed at Hu Qing.

Hu Qingxiao said, "It feels so good, so comfortable. But Uncle and Second Uncle, don't change the subject. Master, what are you busy with?"

Yang Tianxiao pinched the bridge of his nose, and Hu Qing hesitated: "Master, is Mr. Hu in the center?"

Yang Tianxiao understood what she meant: "Pills should not be taken in excess. We are using the bath recipe given by Mr. Hu, which works very well. Now, the recipes used by the disciples in the sect have also been improved by Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu is extremely busy, and now there are countless people asking him to refine pills, all of whom are seeking high-grade pills to prepare for their advancement."

Hu Qing: "Ah, Mr. Hu is making a fortune—so what is everyone busy with?"

There was no need to hide this from her in the first place; the reason she didn't tell others was because they were temporarily uninvolved in the matter.

"The ancestors of the Nine Sects and Nine Clans who had gone missing suddenly sent back a message about the Heavenly Path. It turns out that the Heavenly Path is not a simple, straight path to ascension; there are also arduous trials and tribulations, as well as secret treasures and blessed lands, where opportunities and dangers coexist. Under such circumstances, we naturally need to make some preparations for our own people. We plan to create a safe haven within the Heavenly Path. The elites of our humble sect have also participated in this matter. Didn't Hu Zhuo tell you?"

Hu Qing silently took out her phone and scrolled through Hu Zhuo's private messages; it was quite early.

The last one: Sis, it's completely sealed off, I'm going in.

Second to last message: Sis, please reply to me.

The third to last item was quite long, basically saying that he was going to participate in a secret project. The Nine Clans and Nine Families were about to make a big move, referencing Sky City, and they also had to consider the crushing force from the Heavenly Dao's rules. He asked her if there had been any unexpected changes, blah blah blah.

I quietly put my phone away. It's true, even though I have a phone, it still doesn't feel convenient enough.
"Master, can't the people in the equipment department use a mobile phone assistant to extract important information and prevent them from missing it?"

The Third Sect Master glared at them: "You'd better spare the people from the Weaponry Department. A 'phone spirit'? You might as well find someone to watch your phone for you. Hey, I think Su Shan is perfect. He's the one."

Su Shan smiled at the three sect leaders with a good temper.

Hu Qing said, "I'm very familiar with this project—"

Everyone looked over, their disdain blatant. Yes, you're familiar with it, but you don't have the time.

Hu Qing asked awkwardly, "Um—when the ancestors sent back this message, was it only the divine path in our village that was like this, or were all the other divine paths like this? Also—are the missing ancestors really in the divine paths? Can they contact the outside world? When will they return? Or will they just go up there directly when the time comes?"

Yang Tianxiao: "The situation of other divine paths is unknown; others won't tell us. The ancestors only told us to prepare for a safe place, and didn't mention anything else. If you have time, go and see if there are any gaps in our safe place. We know nothing, and we're not sure if it will work."

They were all exhausted, more so because they had given their all without being sure if their efforts would be worthwhile. Extreme effort doesn't guarantee a great return, and if the effort is misdirected, there will be no return at all. Hearing this, Hu Qing deduced that the information the ancestor could transmit was limited, or that their own knowledge was also limited; otherwise, they wouldn't have pointed out the direction for everyone's efforts.

She thought for a moment and said, "Even if the divine path is opened, not everyone can go up. Who would go inside if they're below the ninth rank? Does that mean anyone below the ninth rank can go in?"

Everyone shared this thought; perhaps the path of the gods would be a series of trials? There had been such examples before.

Suddenly Yang Tianxiao smiled and started talking about something else: "The world changes so fast. Back then, from the time of Wu Ding to the time of Wen Ding, we went deep into the Demon Realm to take revenge. At that time, we made a prediction that the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm might fight each other again. What worried us was that we couldn't find a suitable demonic technique that would allow our disciples to cultivate both immortal and demonic arts."

Speaking of this, everyone laughed, as if reminiscing about the past.

Hu Qing was hearing this for the first time and asked curiously, "That's right. When we first arrived in Wending, we used very basic demonic techniques for everyone, mainly to adapt to the environment. I forgot about them afterward because I got busy. Why didn't you ask me, Master? I have plenty of techniques."

Those who talk big are arrogant.

Yang Tianxiao couldn't help but laugh to himself: "I was planning to ask you. Who knew things would take such a turn? Space station and Imperial Seal, once you have a space station you have to manage, once you have the Imperial Seal you have to dig a tunnel. Have you given everyone enough time?"

Hu Qing felt embarrassed.

"After that, there's more about the Heavenly Path, so who would care about one or two cultivation techniques?"

Everyone sighed, "Now that the immortals and demons aren't fighting anymore, they're all thinking about ascending to heaven. Anyone who still holds onto old grudges at this time is out of their mind."

"Yes, yes, I met with a group of guests a few days ago, the demons who were chasing us back then. They were so friendly to me, like they were my long-lost brothers."

"Hahaha--"

The atmosphere relaxed, and everyone temporarily put aside their burdens and talked only about light and pleasant topics.

The topic of Hu Qing visiting the Dragon Clan's parents inevitably comes up.

Hu Qing's face turned bright red, and he stammered out his embarrassing performance.

Everyone found it hard to bear listening to this; how could they have performed so poorly? It made people think that their entire clan had no talented members left.

Su Shan disagreed: "My parents have a very good impression of Hu Qing."

The people in the room scolded him, saying that their good impression of him had been ruined by his brainless protection of his wife.

Su Shan: "How could that be? My parents are happy that I've found someone I truly love."

Everyone chuckled, finally finding Su Shan's weakness: his emotional intelligence in handling family relationships was lacking.

Fortunately, I heard how understanding the parents were; otherwise, I would have made them break up in a heartbeat.

Following this incident, Hu Qing recounted the events of the Chaotic Domain and Broken Sword Mountain. Everyone was quite surprised. They now knew that many people and organizations in the Immortal Demon Domain had been making silent efforts to open the path to divinity long ago, and they hadn't expected that Broken Sword Mountain was one of them, and that their responsibility was actually towards the people of the Chaotic Domain.

"Broken Sword Mountain? Never heard of them. They've been hiding from beginning to end; their composure is truly remarkable," the clan leader said. "There are many in this world stronger than us."
