Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 165 Weird things
"If Zhou Qing is killed, Mu Zhuosha and his group will definitely seek revenge."

"Mu Yunhe said."

In terms of seniority, he was a generation higher than Mu Zhuosha and of the same generation as the sect leader. However, Mu Zhuosha had never lived in the Mu family since childhood and had no sense of belonging to the Mu family.

Therefore, when mentioning this top genius of the Mu family, Mu Yunhe showed no emotion whatsoever.

Lu Cenzhong said, "But we can't just ignore it. The sect's situation has changed so much in the past two years. The root cause can be traced back to Zhou Qing."

"In two more years, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause?"

"Yes, we can't just let it go unchecked."

"How can we let a mere mortal disciple trample on our heads?"

"Kill one to warn a hundred!"

The other family heads also expressed their opinions.

Wei Xing said sternly, "If Brother Mu is afraid of getting into trouble, then leave this matter to my family. We will definitely not implicate you afterwards!"

Mu Yunhe pondered for a moment and said, "I agree to attack him, but don't kill him, just cripple his cultivation."

“As long as he doesn’t die, Mu Zhuosha and the others won’t be able to retaliate without restraint. Zhou Qing, whose cultivation has been crippled, will become a weakness for them.”

"Those families whose hearts are wavering can see our determination from this, and I believe they will not make the wrong choice."

Wei Xing was still unwilling to accept it.

Mu Yunhe frowned and said, "Wei Xing, don't act on your own, or don't blame me for killing your whole family to appease Mu Zhuosha's anger."

Wei Xing was startled and said, "I understand, we'll spare his life."

……

The sales figures for the first month of Huojinzhen (火金针) have been released.

Fire Needle is a purely offensive talisman, unlike Thorns which is primarily for control.

This purely offensive talisman is more favored by cultivators, and the explosive effect after Zhou Qing's modification is also powerful enough, so the sales of Fire Gold Needle are even stronger than those of Thorn Wrap.

With the help of the Fire Gold Needle, Zhou Qing finally broke through one hundred high-grade spirit stones, a sum he had never earned before.

This was after he significantly increased the salaries of his junior colleagues.

The monthly reward for the junior disciples has been increased from three high-grade spirit stones to five high-grade spirit stones, which is enough to cover their entire month's cultivation.

In addition to his fellow disciples who helped him inscribe talismans, Zhou Qing also set aside a portion of his spirit stones each month to give all his other fellow disciples an extra two mid-grade spirit stones each month.

He now has enough spirit stones to use, with quite a few left over, so he spends them lavishly without a second thought.

The junior brothers and sisters he selected to work for him were all absolutely trustworthy, but the others might not necessarily have bad intentions towards him.

Now, some people have been selected by him, while others have not, which has inadvertently created a kind of differential treatment among his fellow disciples.

At the end-of-month gathering, he could sense the envy in the hearts of his junior colleagues who weren't selected.

The two mid-grade spirit stones each month can be considered a form of appeasement.

After all, these people will be his core group in the future.

He hasn't completely resolved the targeting by the affiliated families yet, so he can't trust them with confidence. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Besides the progress in business, something else has happened this month that is cause for celebration.

Finally, someone in the same class has broken through to the second level of Qi Refining.

They were Yuan Hongying, Wei Xu, and Zhang Shan. They all successfully broke through under Zhou Qing's supervision. Their breakthroughs also greatly dispelled the gloom in the hearts of the other disciples. In recognition of this, Zhou Qing added an extra gathering to celebrate their achievements.

With everything over, Zhou Qing resumed his simple and unpretentious life.

Two months later, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was no longer the thin wisp it was when he first broke through, but had become more abundant.

He estimated that he would be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in two or three months at most.

The development of the situation made Zhou Qing more optimistic, but Wang Xiaohu's visit added some doubts to his mind.

Wang Xiaohu's hesitant expression made Zhou Qing realize that he must have something important and difficult to report.

After being pressed repeatedly, Wang Xiaohu finally spoke up, "Brother Zhou Qing, please don't scold me if I tell you."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. If you do anything excessive, you can still scold me."

"I've always treated you like a brother. No matter how much I scold you, I will never give up on you."

Wang Xiaohu felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Then I'll tell you. I recently met a female cultivator, and she seems to be interested in me."

Zhou Qing blinked and said, "This isn't a bad thing, why are you afraid to say it... Wait, is this female cultivator from the Qingyun Sect?"

Wang Xiaohu shook his head.

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What is her cultivation level?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "Qi Refining Level 3."

Zhou Qing didn't inquire further about the female cultivator's situation, but instead asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "I think she has ulterior motives towards me."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "At least you haven't completely lost your mind. How did you two meet?"

Wang Xiaohu blushed slightly and said, "This all started with the death of Senior Brother Wei Kuang."

"The death of Senior Brother Wei Kuang was a huge blow to me. At the time, I thought, even someone like Senior Brother Wei Kuang couldn't break through to the second level of Qi Refining, so what chance do I have?"

“Rather than die in vain during cultivation, I might as well live a happy life. So for a while, I stopped cultivating and went to the nearby market every day to seek pleasure.”

Zhou Qingqi asked, "There are such occasions in the market?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "Of course, some female cultivators, especially those rogue cultivators, are willing to sacrifice their looks to obtain cultivation resources. They are all celestial beings with actions, and their experiences are quite different from those of mortal women..."

As he spoke, he noticed that Zhou Qing's expression was gradually turning unfriendly, so he awkwardly stopped talking.

Zhou Qing shook his head with amusement.

He recalled that when his Uncle Chen went to Yunzhou to recruit people, he set up a pleasure field to hone his disciples, and the disciples had a great time there.

Even if most male disciples cannot completely sever their ties to romantic relationships, after witnessing such experiences, they have to some extent dispelled any remaining illusions about it in their hearts.

Unfortunately, Wang Xiaohu's desires at that time were entirely focused on food. He ate like a glutton for three days, but he didn't awaken to the idea of ​​love and sex.

Zhou Qing said, "Go on."

Wang Xiaohu said, "The female cultivator I'm talking about isn't someone from a brothel; she's someone I met on the street."

“I unintentionally helped her with a small favor, and I didn’t think much of it at first. But later, I ran into her several times when I went to the market, and we gradually got to know each other.”

"Her name is Wu Xingyun. She is said to be a rogue cultivator who has reached the third level of Qi Refining through her own efforts. From her words, one can sense that she is a resilient and upright woman."

"But she showed me unusual affection."
