Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 128 Trust
After listening to Zhou Qing's account, Wei Xu formed the impression that his friend was doing something that would completely shake up the existing order of the Qingyun Sect.

He is single-handedly trying to overcome the deep-seated problems that have accumulated in the Qingyun Sect over thousands of years.

Of course, Zhou Qing is no longer fighting alone, but his companions did not come to him because of his outstanding background, but were united by his own personal abilities.

He relied on his undeniable talent and magnanimous humanity to naturally gather many people around him, giving him the power to shake up the solidified class structure of a major faction.

This is heroic behavior, and Wei Xu felt excited just thinking about it.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "I won't let my friend work for free."

"Okay, I'll let you know when the time is right, even if it's just you."

After leaving Wei Xu's house, he found Wang Xiaohu and listened to Zhou Qing's story. Wang Xiaohu was naturally very happy and immediately agreed. However, he wanted to give his friend a chance and asked, "Brother Zhou Qing, can Feng Yuan join as well?"

"He's a good person, I think he's trustworthy."

Zhou Qing said, “Trust comes in different levels. Generally speaking, I trust all of you junior brothers and sisters. I believe you would not have any intention to harm me. But when trust conflicts with trust, what choices will people make? We cannot help but weigh the pros and cons.”

"Feng Yuan comes from a subordinate family. Which takes precedence: his loyalty to the family or his loyalty to me?"

"I'm not sure yet."

Wang Xiaohu said with some regret, "Okay."

Zhou Qing patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't be disappointed. We're not an organization that will disband anytime soon. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"In time, we will eventually see his true nature. If he proves himself to be trustworthy, I will not stubbornly hold prejudices against him because of his background."

Wang Xiaohu smiled, scratched his head, and said, "Brother Zhou Qing, you're so thoughtful. I was too short-sighted."

Zhou Qing said, "I'm a few years older than you, don't overthink it. Just focus on your cultivation, and I'll call you when the time comes."

Wang Xiaohu nodded emphatically and saw Zhou Qing out the door.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing went to find Wei Kuang.

Wei Kuang also came from a subordinate family, yet Zhou Qing trusted him.

He was equally unsure whether Wei Kuang's affection for him could surpass his affection for his family, but he was certain of Wei Kuang's steadfastness in upholding his principles.

He was more loyal to his principles than to his senior brother or his family.

Wei Kuang welcomed Zhou Qing into the house.

Zhou Qing noticed the irritation lingering in his eyes and couldn't help but feel curious.

Wei Kuang was a person devoted to cultivation and rarely thought about other trivial matters. What could be making him so anxious?
Zhou Qing then put aside his own matters and asked, "You seem to be in a bad mood?"

Wei Kuang asked in surprise, "Is it that obvious?"

Zhou Qing nodded and asked, "What happened?"

Wei Kuang said, "My spiritual pressure is already three feet, and I can try to break through my realm, but I still can't find the state where my Dao heart is the master and my spiritual energy follows. I can't help but feel a little anxious."

Zhou Qing asked, "Did you consult with Uncle-Master Chen or Elder Jinmang?"

Wei Kuang nodded and said, "They only said that only when you have only one thing in your heart, and you eliminate all doubts, fears, expectations, and excitement, and concentrate all your mental strength, can you reach that state."

"But I tried several times and just couldn't get the hang of it."

Zhou Qing shook his head and smiled, "You're so eager to find this state, which means you already have expectations. You'll only drift further and further away from this state."

Wei Kuang asked, "Then what should I do?" Zhou Qing replied, "All things arise and flourish, and I observe their return."

"You might as well put the breakthrough thing aside for good and do something else. After a while, when that thought arises unexpectedly, it will be a very focused and pure thought, and that will be the perfect time for a breakthrough."

Wei Kuang nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What if that thought never comes up?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You must believe in your fervor for seeking the Dao. If you are truly fervent in seeking the Dao, you will never be able to completely abandon this thought."

"The more you ignore it, the stronger it will rebound, and the force of that rebound will be enough to help you break through."

"If it really doesn't appear, I can still use the Anti-Qing Restoration Formation to help you, but relying too much on formations will ultimately be detrimental to the growth of your Dao heart."

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Wei Kuang felt that Zhou Qing's words made a lot of sense, and said with heartfelt admiration, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "We're brothers, no need for thanks. I need help with something, why don't you come and help me?"

So he revealed his plans.

Wei Kuang was slightly surprised, then laughed and said, "I wonder how much trouble this will cause, Senior Brother."

To rob someone of their means of making money is like killing their parents.

The eldest brother's desire to monopolize talismans would be tantamount to cutting off the financial lifeline of the Array Court. He could already imagine how furious the White Sect Leader would be.

Not only the court, but also the affiliated families below it will be greatly affected.

The eldest brother's talismans will definitely be sold first in the shops controlled by his senior uncle Mu Zhuosha. Other affiliated families will have to give up a lot of profits if they want to cooperate.

If the eldest disciple really succeeds, the entire landscape of the Qingyun Sect will change.

In a few decades or even a hundred years, the Qingyun Sect will form a new interest structure centered around its eldest disciple.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "What, are you scared?"

Wei Kuang said proudly, "What do I have to fear!"

That’s settled.

After leaving Wei Kuang's house, Zhou Qing finally arrived at Yuan Hongying's house.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Yuan Hongying exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

He stepped aside to let Zhou Qing in.

Spring has come again. Outside Yuan Hongying’s villa is a peach grove. Peach branches reach over the courtyard wall and scatter bright red petals in the yard, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

Yuan Hongying invited Zhou Qing into the house and asked him to sit on the couch for a while, while she busied herself making him tea.

While Yuan Hongying was busy, Zhou Qing looked around her room for a while.

Yuan Hongying's house is a bamboo hut divided into three rooms.

On the far left is her bedroom, in the middle is where she usually cultivates and receives guests, and on the right is her study.

The room was elegantly decorated, yet still retained a girlish charm.

A moment later, Yuan Hongying brought him a cup of tea and a plate of pastries to accompany it, and said with a smile, "I discovered this tea myself. I was strolling in the nearby mountains when I saw a tree with long, narrow leaves and a refreshing aroma. I felt it was quite suitable for making tea, so I picked some and processed it. Here are two ounces of tea. Do you like it, senior brother?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Qing expectantly.
