Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 78 Fantasy Sect

The passing of the elder was a big event in the sect, but it actually had little impact on them, the registered disciples.

After a few words of emotion, everyone dispersed.

Before parting, Zhou Qing and Nie Yunxi agreed to go to Qingyun Mountain to meet Chen Qingxuan at noon tomorrow.

The next day, after Zhou Qing finished his morning lessons, he went to Nie Yunxi's house to find her.

After pouring out his heart yesterday and having a happy dinner together, Nie Yunxi felt much better. He no longer had a melancholy look on his face, but was smiling more.

She had obviously dressed up carefully, with her snow-white hair tied loosely at the back, which complemented her fair and smooth face. However, her two plump lips, so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood, made her look even more enchanting.

Seeing Zhou Qing examining her, Nie Yunxi felt a bit bewildered. She unconsciously stroked her hair and asked, "Isn't it ugly?"

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head, saying, "It looks very nice."

"Let's go."

The two of them then went out.

Nie Yunxi closed the courtyard door and suddenly remembered something. He asked curiously, "I opened the restriction before practicing yesterday. How did Senior Brother get in?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's just a formation that breaks the restriction. It's nothing special."

This was the speech he had thought of long ago.

Nie Yunxi had no doubts. In her heart, no matter what shocking things the eldest senior brother did, it was justified.

Zhou Qing suddenly discovered another benefit of learning the formation. In the future, he could attribute all the difficult-to-explain things about himself to the formation.

Anyway, formation masters always invent formations with all kinds of strange effects.

As far as Zhou Qing knew, Qingyun Sect would not force its formation masters to hand over their formations unless you did not want to advance in status within the Qingyun Sect.

There are three levels of formation masters in Qingyun Sect, namely formal formation master, formation master, and formation grandmaster. The three levels of formation masters can be reflected in each other's clothing.

Formal formation masters can embroider star symbols on their robes, formation masters can embroider the bright moon, and formation grandmasters can embroider the big sun.

Currently, the only formation master in Qingyun Sect is Bai Muyun, the head of Qimen Hall, and there are two formation masters, Xuanzhe is one of them.

If a formation master wants to advance in rank, attainments in formations are certainly the basis, but he also needs to make contributions to the sect.

The contribution of a formation master is of course to invent new formations and present them to the sect, or to improve old formations.

Of course, the sect will not let the formation master contribute in vain.

With the accumulation of contributions, and if one's own attainments in formation have reached the standard, one can be promoted to a higher level.

There is a huge gap in the resources that can be allocated by formation masters of different levels.

It can be said that the Qingyun Sect relies on rewards to encourage its disciples to work for the sect, rather than relying on forced plunder.

In this case, it is normal for different formation masters to keep a few hidden formations in their hands.

If Zhou Qing behaves strangely in the future, blaming it on the formation would be a good option.

Of course, his current attainments in formations are still too shallow, far from being able to convince others, so it is best not to show off too much if possible.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Transmission Hall.

Zhou Qing took Nie Yunxi straight to Chen Qingxuan's residence.

Before he reached the door of Chen Qingxuan's house, Zhou Qing heard a sobbing flute sound coming from the direction of Chen Qingxuan's house.

The sound of the flute is mournful, as if it contains endless thoughts.

Zhou Qing and Nie Yunxi stopped at the door. They didn't have the heart to interrupt Chen Qingxuan's thoughts, so they wanted to wait until he finished playing before going in to visit him.

Zhou Qing listened to the flute sound and turned to look at Nie Yunxi. She seemed to be infected by the flute sound and tears were already gathering in her eyes.

He shook his head helplessly and thought to himself, why are there so many people around him who are sad about the passing of time? It's really strange.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the flute sound stopped.

Zhou Qing then stepped forward to knock on the door.

The courtyard gate opened automatically. Zhou Qing took Nie Yunxi across the bluestone path in the courtyard and came to the main hall. They saw Chen Qingxuan, who was drinking from a wine gourd with a dejected look on his face.

When Chen Qingxuan saw Nie Yunxi, his eyes, which had been a little drunken, suddenly became sharp.

The momentum at that moment shocked Nie Yunxi, and he unconsciously shrank behind Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Uncle Master, you scared me."

Chen Qingxuan smiled bitterly, and the intimidating aura on his body dissipated a lot.

"Possessed by a demon? That's great! There haven't been any cases of possession by a demon in many years."

Chen Qingxuan said: "What's going on? Tell me."

Nie Yunxi felt a little embarrassed when she heard that she had to reveal her feelings for the eldest senior brother in front of her uncle, but she knew that this matter was of great importance and it was not the time to be shy, so she blushed and repeated to Chen Qingxuan roughly what she had said to Zhou Qing yesterday.

After listening to Nie Yunxi's story, Chen Qingxuan's stern demeanor completely dissipated, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes. Zhou Qing asked, "Uncle, how should we deal with Junior Sister's situation?"

Chen Qingxuan pondered for a while and said, "Zhou Qing, please go out first. I have something to say to her alone."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Since Junior Sister Nie has already expressed her feelings to me, there is no longer any barrier between us. What is there for Uncle Master to hide from me?"

Chen Qingxuan looked at him with amusement and said, "Are you worried that I will harm her, a demon-possessed person, by trying to eliminate demons and defend the Way?"

Zhou Qing said seriously, "Master is a kind person, he would not intentionally harm his disciples."

"But Uncle Master is, after all, the deacon of the sect's Transmission Hall. As part of his duties, he sometimes inevitably considers the sect's perspective more, and the measures he takes may not necessarily be in the best interests of the disciples."

"I am the eldest senior brother appointed by my uncle. I have the responsibility to stand by my junior sister and help her choose a method that is more beneficial to herself."

In Zhou Qing's heart, he had full respect for Chen Qingxuan, and believed that Chen Qingxuan would never have the intention of hurting him.

But Nie Yunxi is not him, and she does not mean that much to Chen Qingxuan.

The fierce aura Chen Qingxuan displayed when he saw Nie Yunxi just now made Zhou Qing fully aware of the immortal cultivators' vigilance against those possessed by demons.

So he couldn't help but worry.

Looking at Zhou Qing's stubborn expression, Chen Qingxuan suddenly felt a little lost.

If they had been so stubborn in standing with the senior sister, would things be completely different now?

Chen Qingxuan sighed secretly and said, "You are able to protect her like this, which makes her love for him worthwhile."

"Don't worry. The sect has a comprehensive solution for her situation. She won't be harmed. We asked you to leave because we didn't want your presence to affect her judgment."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Since Uncle Master said so, I feel relieved."

He led Nie Yunxi to him and said, "Submit everything to Uncle Master. I'll wait for you outside."

Nie Yunxi nodded timidly and watched Zhou Qing walk out.

When Zhou Qing walked into the yard, Chen Qingxuan pointed to a low stool nearby and said, "Sit down."

Nie Yunxi sat upright.

Seeing her expression as if she was about to be beheaded, Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Being possessed by a demon is different from being possessed by a demon. The immortal way does not kill all those who are possessed by a demon."

"To solve your problem, there are two ways. It all depends on your choice."

Nie Yunxi said, "Please give me some advice, uncle."

Chen Qingxuan said, "We have a friendly sect in the Qingyun Sect called the Huanqing Sect. This sect's practice emphasizes both illusion and emotion, and both emotion and illusion."

"Their Illusion Word Technique can erase a person's emotions. Your cultivation is still very shallow, so it won't take much effort to erase your emotions."

"If you agree, I will take you to the Huanqing Sect and ask Fairy Taixu to erase your feelings for Zhou Qing. Without the emotional entanglement, your heart will return to purity and naturally be free of evil thoughts."

Erase her feelings for the eldest brother?
Nie Yunxi was stunned.

She felt confused and asked, "If such an important emotion is erased, what will become of the disciple?"

Chen Qingxuan's eyes were slightly dazed, and he said, "It's nothing, just a little empty. Your memory is still intact, and you still remember the little things you liked about him, but you can no longer experience that feeling."

"That experience was like a leaf that had been picked and dried. It still had its texture intact, but it was completely devoid of life. When I think about it occasionally, I just feel a hole in my heart and a slight sense of loss, but no other discomfort."

Nie Yunxi looked at Chen Qingxuan's lost expression, and suddenly something occurred to him. He wondered why Uncle Chen could describe his feelings in such detail. Could it be...

Thinking of the flute sound he had just heard from Uncle Chen, and the rumors about Uncle Chen and Uncle Mu Zhuosha, Nie Yunxi immediately had the answer.

Nie Yunxi said, "Uncle Master just said that I have two choices. I wonder what the second choice is?"

Chen Qingxuan looked at her seriously and said, "This second method is the Love Character Technique of the Huanqing Sect."

"The Illusionary Emotion Sect uses emotion to enter the Tao. Those who reach the extreme of emotion reach the extreme of the Tao."

"If you can't give up this love, I can help you become a disciple of Fairy Taixu, practice her skills, and push your love to the extreme, using love as the foundation of your Taoism."

Nie Yunxi asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that indulging in lust is demonic? How can one enter the Dao?"

Chen Qingxuan explained: "Strictly speaking, as long as the goal is not to seek immortality, it is considered a demonic path."

"But in specific matters, there are differences among the immortal sects."

"What the Immortal Path truly hates are those who cultivate for the sake of power, because this motivation will gradually corrupt people's hearts, making them irritable, angry, and murderous, becoming a complete destabilizing factor in the world of immortal cultivation."

"Compared to that, those who indulge in lust are much gentler."

"Although the Immortal Dao believes that they are unable to reach the ultimate Dao, they also acknowledge that they are part of the Immortal Dao and are not hostile to them."

"For example, the Huanqing Sect has a deep friendship with our Qingyun Sect. No matter which side encounters danger, the other side will always do its best to rescue."

"That's why I'm confident in asking Fairy Taixu to rescue you."
