Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 175 Different offensive and defensive forces
Zhou Qing said, "Brother Wu, you should know that this kind of thing cannot be hidden forever; it will be exposed one day."

Wu Tao said with a wry smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can only keep it a secret for as long as possible."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "You can come to my place and study formations with Uncle Cheng Feipeng and the others. The treatment here is not bad. Although it is not as prestigious as your current position in the Formation Academy, it is safe and stable."

Wu Tao said, "Master Bai won't let me go."

Zhou Qing said, "Just come over here, he won't dare to cause trouble here."

Zhou Qing's strong confidence made Wu Tao very envious.

Look at them, they started much later than me, yet they can already disregard even the headmaster level. How impressive is that?

A true man should go to such lengths to truly live up to his reputation.

Wu Tao began to consider Zhou Qing's suggestion.

He was somewhat tempted, but when he thought of the glory he would have in the Array Court, where he was second only to the emperor, he was reluctant to give it up.

During the day, he lamented that he was unworthy of his position and would be punished by heaven, but when it came to actually giving up what was beyond his due, he still couldn't see through it.

Zhou Qing noticed Wu Tao's conflicted expression.

He sighed inwardly.

Whether one is a mortal or a cultivator, in the end it all comes down to the cultivation of the heart. If one cannot see through the illusions in one's heart, one will eventually bring disaster upon oneself.

This is what is meant by "you reap what you sow," and outsiders cannot save you.

After a long pause, Wu Tao asked, "Brother Zhou, is there no other way?"

Zhou Qing said, "Not exactly."

Wu Tao asked with delight, "What method?"

Zhou Qing said, "When we arrive at the Formation Assembly, I will transmit my voice to you as we discuss the Dao with everyone. Just speak according to the information I send you."

Wu Tao exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible! The formation competition is extremely secretive, and all those present are highly skilled formation masters. How could they transmit their voices without being detected?"

There are many methods for transmitting sound secretly in the cultivation world, since spiritual energy is a natural carrier of information.

However, similarly, methods for breaking through the secret transmission of sound are also very common.

This makes it easy for secret telepathic communication to be intercepted or even cracked by outsiders.

Therefore, nowadays, cultivators rarely choose to transmit important messages via telepathy, preferring instead to speak face-to-face.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I've proposed this method, I'm confident that no one will notice."

Wu Tao asked with skepticism, "Is this really true?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Is there anything I want to do that I can't succeed at?"

Wu Tao's breath hitched. He pondered for a moment and was shocked to discover that ever since Zhou Qing entered the Qingyun Sect, he had succeeded in everything he wanted to do or anyone he wanted to deal with.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, it's decided then. I'll have to rely on Brother Zhou then."

Zhou Qing said, "You know my rules: what is gained must be repaid."

Wu Tao said, "I understand. I will give you a copy of all the runes shared at the meeting."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Deal."

Wu Tao hurriedly left Zhou Qing's courtyard.

……

The next morning, Zhou Qing was about to go out for a walk when he suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door.

He opened the door and found Wei Xu standing outside, looking anxious.

Zhou Qing smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wei Xu said, "It's rumored everywhere that you killed the head of the Wei family. Is that true?"

"it is true."

"I heard you also severely injured the head of the Lü family?" "That's true."

"You even scared Lü Qingzhu away?"

"That's true too."

Wei Xu swallowed hard and asked, "They're all Foundation Establishment cultivators, how did you manage that?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how I do it, just knowing that I can do it is enough."

"You came all this way so early just for this?"

Wei Xu smiled wryly and said, "Isn't this matter worth my time?"

"Now the entire Ziyun Mountain, no, even the entire Qingyun Sect, knows that you, a Qi Refining disciple, single-handedly defeated three Foundation Establishment cultivators. Everyone is going crazy."

“All last night, all the junior students were constantly on the go, running around trying to find out if the news was true. In the end, it was Wang Xiaohu who confirmed it.”

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, saying, "Is it really necessary? You could have just asked me directly."

"Who dares to bother you?"

Wei Xudao.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "Perfect timing. Tonight, gather all your fellow disciples here. I have something to announce."

Wei Xu said excitedly, "Okay, I'll go right now."

In the evening, Zhou Qing's junior classmates began to arrive at his home.

Everyone's face was beaming with excitement, and they were all talking about the same thing.

The news has been confirmed.

They all understood that their senior brother had accomplished a miracle that no one had ever done before.

Each generation of senior disciples serves as a spiritual symbol for their fellow disciples, directly influencing their morale.

Zhou Qing's heroic act was like a shot in the arm for everyone, sweeping away all the pent-up emotions caused by Nie Yunxi's departure and Wei Kuang's death.

Once everyone has arrived.

Zhou Qing stood on the porch, looking down at his fellow disciples, and said with a smile, "I called you all here today to announce something."

"As everyone knows, I set up a small talisman production... kind of like a workshop, and I selected some of my junior brothers and sisters to help me with the work."

“Those of you who were selected are naturally happy, while those who were not selected are bound to feel resentful. I understand all of these situations.”

"I hope everyone can understand that I had to make this decision because the past situation was unfavorable to us."

“If I were to bring all of you here to work for me without any selection, many of you would face unimaginable hardships and trials, and may end up following in the footsteps of Wei Kuang.”

"To protect myself, and to protect you, I have no choice but to treat you differently."

Zhou Qing paused for a moment at this point.

The disciples all fell silent, realizing from Zhou Qing's words that there might be more to Wei Kuang's death than met the eye.

Considering Zhou Qing's recent feat, they suddenly understood something.

While they were completely unaware, their senior brother was probably fighting against a force that they could never imagine or contend with.

And... it seems they even won the fight.

Zhou Qing glanced at his fellow disciples and said proudly, "But things are different now."

"The strategies for offense and defense are different!"

"Now no one dares to mess with us anymore. Now all of you can come and work for me, as long as you're willing."

"I will give you far more resources than the sect has, so that you can progress smoothly on the path of cultivation. We will become a strong group, and no one can sow discord between us."

"In the future, we will become a powerful force that can influence the Qingyun Sect and even the entire cultivation world."
