Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 122 Just calm down, leave this to me.

Zhou Qing asked, "Aren't they afraid of being punished by the sect leader?"

Lu Qiushui said sarcastically, "Who do you think are the two most powerful families among the affiliated families?"

Seeing Zhou Qing deep in thought, Lu Qiushui said, "One is the Xu family, and the other is the Mu family."

Xu is the Xu in Xu Jingfeng, and Mu is the Mu in Mu Mingsheng.

Lu Qiushui said, "The Qingyun Sect is a behemoth with an influence spanning tens of thousands of miles. Don't underestimate this statement."

"How can the Qingyun Sect, with only a few thousand people, effectively govern such a vast territory?"

“The affiliated families are the foundation for the sect’s rule, and the sect naturally wants them to benefit as well. So as long as these affiliated families don’t go too far, the sect has always turned a blind eye.”

After listening to Lu Qiushui's account, Zhou Qing finally gained a holistic perspective on the ecosystem of the Qingyun Sect.

He asked, "Then what role does my senior brother play in this?"

Lu Qiushui said, "Senior Sister believes that the affiliated families have become too bloated, and they value their own interests too much while neglecting the interests of the sect."

"In the past thousand years, the sect has opened many new shops and discovered many new spirit mines, but the sect's revenue has not increased much. This can be seen from the fact that the monthly allowances of the sect's disciples have not increased for a long time."

"This is all because the profits have been eroded by the affiliated families."

"So Senior Sister wants to support another force. They don't have such a deep foundation in the sect and are helpless, so they can only regard the interests of the sect as their own. When this force grows and gradually takes over the areas originally controlled by the affiliated families, the vitality of these areas can truly be unleashed."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "So, Master Uncle is more inclined towards the outsider faction."

Lu Qiushui said, "Senior Sister is not biased towards any faction. Whether it is the local faction or the foreign faction, as long as they are aware of the current predicament of the sect and have the idea of ​​changing it, Senior Sister is willing to guide them as a way out."

"Regarding your anti-Qing and restoration of Ming formation, let's ask our senior sister for her opinion. Perhaps she has some prior preparations."

She had absolutely no preparation...

Zhou Qing smiled wryly to himself and said, "Let's go."

The two then went to the Sutra Repository and went up to the fifth floor, where they found Chen Qingxuan there as well.

Zhou Qing hadn't seen Chen Qingxuan for a while. He had visited Chen Qingxuan's home several times, but hadn't seen him. He figured that as the new elder, Chen Qingxuan must be very busy, so he didn't bother him anymore.

He saw Chen Qingxuan looking worried, sitting with Mu Zhuosha between two rows of bookshelves, seemingly discussing something.

"Why are you here?"

Mu Zhuosha asked.

Lu Qiushui said irritably, "Look at the mess you've made, I have no choice but to get things done."

As she spoke, she recounted how the shopkeepers might have forged the array diagrams and reduced Zhou Qing's fund, and then said, "You should have told Zhou Qing about the inside story beforehand so he could be on guard. Now look what's happened, they've gotten their hands on the array diagrams, and we've done all this for them."

Mu Zhuosha ignored her complaints, and instead smiled at Zhou Qing, asking, "What do you think?"

Zhou Qing said, "I know your plans, but you should at least have told me in advance."

Mu Zhuosha said, "If I told you in advance, would you have felt this deeply as you do now?"

"I intend for you to experience what a talented young person with a bright future would encounter in the current environment of the Qingyun Sect. This way, you can understand our actions and why the Qingyun Sect must change." "The current Qingyun Sect is not a place to cultivate geniuses, but a place to devour them."

"As soon as a genius shows his talent, those people will grovel at him, drain his talent in a short time, and then discard him like trash."

“I hope you can consider me a kindred spirit, not only because I am your senior mentor, but also because you can agree with my ideas.”

Zhou Qing said helplessly, "Your idea is very good, and I agree with it, but there's something we messed up."

"I understand that you want to use a stronger anti-Qing and restoration campaign to counter them, but have you considered that I simply don't have such a formation right now?"

Mu Zhuosha was taken aback and said, "Impossible. I have personally experienced it. The formation you used on me is much more powerful and lasts longer than the formation you gave to the sect. You do indeed have two kinds of formations."

Zhou Qing said, "I do have two kinds of formations, but the second kind can only be activated by my unique technique at present, and it cannot be recorded and sold."

Mu Zhuosha was dumbfounded; this was something she hadn't expected at all.

Chen Qingxuan and Lu Qiushui then understood why their senior sister had been so calm and unhurried.

However, it seems that the situation is not very good at present.

Mu Zhuosha was silent for a moment, then said, "When will you be able to perfect the formation?"

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I still need five unknown runes. I might find them next month, or I might not find them even after ten years."

Mu Zhuosha fell silent again. After a long while, her small body suddenly erupted with a terrifying killing intent.

She said, "It seems I need to go down the mountain."

Zhou Qing frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Zhuosha said, "Among those people, there are a few with the strongest power, who are the backbone. I will go there and make them hand over the base plate of the array diagram, so that they will not dare to secretly copy the anti-Qing and restore-Ming array diagram anymore."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "You should save your breath. Your method is nothing more than using force to coerce them, which is not a good approach."

Mu Zhuosha said with dissatisfaction, "How is it not a good method? Force is the simplest and most direct way."

Zhou Qing said, "You are not invincible in the Qingyun Sect. If you go too far, those people will cause trouble in the sect, and the sect leader and Elder Xu will not be able to sit idly by."

Mu Zhuosha sneered, "They broke the rules first, yet they still dare to cause trouble at the sect?"

Zhou Qing said, "That's not necessarily true."

He didn't dwell on the matter further but instead looked at Chen Qingxuan and asked, "Uncle-Master seems to be facing a problem as well. What is it?"

Chen Qingxuan said, "Following my senior sister's wishes, after taking office I increased the interest that each shop handed over to the sect by 30%. Recently, they have been very unhappy about this, and some shops have even started to cause trouble."

"I seized on a few troublemakers and revoked their right to manage the sect's shops, handing them over to my own people instead. Those troublemakers then used their long-established connections to attack the shops controlled by our own people. I'm currently very stressed about this matter."

Mu Zhuosha insisted on her opinion, saying, "Now we need to show them our strength and let them know what's what. It would be better if I went down the mountain."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "Just calm down, leave this to me."
