Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

The smile faded slowly, and Dongjun glanced at An Shiyu over there, tilting her head slightly. "Oh, is that so?"

"Well, although I have mastered the power of space, I have only just broken through to the Dou Zong realm and entered the Dou Zun realm. It will probably take some time to use it skillfully. If I want to follow the example of my ancestor, Emperor Yan, and create an independent space, I still need to wait for my Dao Seed to grow."

"Perhaps it would be more convenient for An Shiyu to come to Qingyun Sect."

As she said this, Ziyuan looked towards An Shiyu's direction.

While comforting her good-for-nothing senior, Peony, the girl seemed to quickly notice Shion's gaze and looked up to look over.

The white umbrella was tilted slightly, blocking the view.

Separating Ziyuan and An Shiyu's gazes, Dongjun still wore a faint smile, "No, you can't."

Ziyuan looked at her with some confusion, "Why?"

"Because she is a magical girl from the Disaster Management Bureau."

"But……"

"In short, no."

Ziyuan nodded. "Okay."

In matters like this, you can't go wrong by listening to Dongjun.

Chapter 151: A Perfect Match (6,000 words)

"The fully opened mental imagery domain can be compressed and used as a seed of the Dao, and it can also be used externally when not in a transformed state. It has great potential and can be used as a protective method for the magical girl's true form."

"This is a great opportunity for the Qingyun Sect. In the future, in addition to clearing out the calamity beasts and the witch's guild, Qingyun Sect disciples should pay more attention to the remnants of the mental images, which can be used as training for disciples."

"I've noted it down."

"Although An Shiyu cannot enter the Qingyun Sect, we still need to pay attention to her movements and daily life. As a remnant soul of an emperor, Mu Jin's experience and knowledge about magical girls are very important, laying a good foundation for the sect's future path to becoming a fully-fledged emperor."

Bing Tang listened and took notes.

The two of them came back by car. Although they could have flown over, Bing Tang felt it was better not to be so ostentatious.

So I still took Jiang Si with me in the car.

Bing Tang listened with great interest as Jiang Si recounted the stories of the Mirror Kingdom and her experiences with Mu Jin along the way.

It felt like going back to three years ago, when Jiang Si was telling her those amazing cultivation stories in the sect.

In fact, Bing Tang never found those things interesting.

She didn't actually find much enjoyment in things like leveling up by defeating monsters, encountering fortuitous events to obtain treasures, and becoming stronger to defeat people she couldn't beat before.

Of course, she didn't really hate it; it was just like listening to some girls in her class gossiping.

It wasn't particularly interesting, but it wasn't boring either.

However, listening to Jiang Si tell these stories is quite interesting.

Jiang Si, who was indifferent and apathetic to everything else, talked endlessly about cultivating immortality, or about her gains in the Mirror Kingdom.

Jiang Si, who is completely different from usual, is inherently very intriguing.

"I have gained a lot from this trip. After I finish my seclusion, I will be able to spread my teachings to the masses. Please make the arrangements. I will give a lecture on a certain day. It is also time to put Yu Mo and the others' advancement on the agenda."

"Although the Mirror Kingdom has no established Daoist tradition, their technology is quite advanced. While technological cultivation is considered a side path, if mastered, it can be a great path nonetheless. We should inquire more about the Mirror Kingdom and try to utilize their technology for our own cultivation."

"If we could acquire the technology from the Mirror Kingdom, the Qingyun Sect's financial problems would be alleviated somewhat," Bing Tang said with a smile. "The price of Lament Seeds started to drop some time ago. Now, apart from the Lament Seeds of B-grade Disaster Beasts, no one wants the low-grade Lament Seeds anymore. However, the Qingyun Sect's expenses have not decreased, especially recently with everyone clearing out more and more Witch Associations and Disaster Beasts, the expenditures are the highest in recent years."

Although Jiang Si didn't care much about these things, she didn't interrupt her, but simply nodded to indicate that she had heard.

I just didn't understand.

"If this continues, the Qingyun Sect's internal cash flow will run into problems. Although I can find a way to borrow some money from the Bingse Group to subsidize it, it's not a long-term solution. For the group to develop in the long term, it still needs a healthy cash flow. I've also been worried about future business. For example, our 'Beihai Idol is Legend' project, which was preparing to launch the magical girl idol band Magic Collection Card, got off to a bad start because the Disaster Management Bureau had too many magical girl idols. Before the first cover song, 'Hakimi,' was even released, it caused a 'graduation statement'..."

This is a lie.

The Qingyun Sect is not short of money; rather, it has a large number of high-quality magical girl talents. Whether they are inner or outer disciples, everyone has their own unique skills and special abilities. The seven true disciples are even more amazing in terms of fighting spirit, patience, and skills. Not to mention the honorary true disciples who bring surprises from undercover agents in various industries.

It also has the backing of a large conglomerate like Ice Age.

She also relied on a little Taoist master who would affirm her no matter what she said, even if she didn't understand it.

If they can still manage to run the sect into financial difficulties, it would actually make Bing Tang seem incompetent.

In reality, simply buying out Bai Jia San Mei's masterpieces and ghost stories in bulk and then turning them into IPs in an instant would already be enough to collect taxes for the ancestors for eight hundred years to come.

Therefore, it wouldn't be too much to sing its praises for ten thousand generations in the name of our ancestors.

Not to mention the others...

"...In short, we devised many plans, and even considered cooperating with the Disaster Management Bureau, since outer disciples are very suitable for temporary work..."

The nonsensical statements reminded Jiang Si of some boring business-related content in urban fantasy novels.

Back then, he could skip over things at will, and if he got angry that the book stopped being about cultivating immortality, he would just delete it and leave.

But now, when Bing Tang says these things to him, Jiang Si can only nod as if she understands.

"If I can acquire the technology from the Mirror Kingdom, I can openly and legitimately facilitate the cooperation between the Ice Color Group and the Azure Cloud Sect, and ensure the financial health of the Azure Cloud Sect by sharing profits. This will also allow me to further expand the scale and influence of the Azure Cloud Sect in the future."

There aren't many people from the Qingyun Sect right now. Although the search for Jiang Si has caused quite a stir, it seems like there are magical girls from the Qingyun Sect everywhere.

In reality, most of the credit goes to Qinghua, who uses magical puppets to maintain appearances. In terms of the sheer number of magical girls, Qingyun Sect still cannot compare with the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

When Bing Tang tried to expand the search area for Jiang Si after she disappeared, she discovered this problem: the Qingyun Sect's influence was too small. Even some disaster relief bureaus in South China had never heard of the Qingyun Sect.

For example, the disaster relief bureaus of the three affected cities in South China—Chenming, Zengcheng, and Nanning—were still in a state of confusion even after receiving a call from the central government, as if something had happened.

Having tasted success with the remnants of the mind image this time, Jiang Si will probably go on a crazy adventure to find more remnants of the mind image in the future.

Whether for the sake of Qingyun Sect, for Jiang Si, or for her own sake, Bing Tang must increase the influence of Qingyun Sect.

At the very least, we must prevent the witch from exploiting loopholes and controlling the TV station to impersonate the Qingyun Sect in declaring war.

Seeing Jiang Si looking drowsy, Bing Tang smiled.

In fact, she knew that Jiang Si neither understood nor was interested in these things.

However, because it concerned the lineage of the Qingyun Sect, even if he didn't understand the Daoist path of cultivation, he would pretend to understand it...

For Bing Tang, talking about these topics and making Jiang Si sleepy was quite an interesting thing in itself.

Moreover, they were on a shuttle bus—Bing Tang said she wanted to report slowly along the way, so after getting closer to Beihai, they boarded the shuttle bus.

There weren't many people on the bus, but there were a few. Jiang Si, who was dozing off, swayed back and forth. Bing Tang leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder.

They look like lovers.

Especially the uncles and aunts next to them, who were all smiles and praising how well-matched they were, made Bing Tang feel embarrassed and offer them some snacks.

Say more.

This is the true value of choosing a bus...

Hiding the conversation with Jiang Si is a bit troublesome.

However, for a magical girl, this is not a difficult thing, as the passengers on the bus are all ordinary people.

And just in case, she notified Yotsuba and Rokuyo to prepare.

It can distort the perceptions of people on the bus at any time.

Unfortunately, Jiang Si had only dozed off, and after not hearing her speak for a while, she woke up and asked, "Are you done talking?"

"Ah."

"I trust you with the affairs of the Qingyun Sect. I won't ask any more questions."

In reality, you can't get any answers from them.

Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. The main job of the protagonist in an online novel is to run dungeons.

As for other tasks, just leave them to trustworthy people.

Jiang Si is already researching the next opponent for the mental image remnant.

Of course, we shouldn't be bothered by these trivial matters.

"Oh, by the way, your lackey in the Witch Society, the complete witch Xilan, has been captured by us. She previously used the name of the Qingyun Sect to declare war on the TV station without authorization, which caused us quite a bit of trouble."

"Is anyone injured?"

"No, that's not the case. Before it spread, we had already cleared up the misunderstanding with the Disaster Management Bureau."

"Oh, then a little punishment should be enough, right?" Jiang Si pondered. "Perhaps it will still be useful."

"Yes, I think so too. The identity of Si Motu and the connection with Xi Lan were painstakingly constructed by the sect leader. He put a lot of thought into it. I also guessed that you would be of great use in the future, so I spared her life."

Jiang Si nodded without changing her expression, "That's right."

Although they were all done incidentally, it wouldn't be wrong to say that they were his own far-sighted plans.

Sometimes, human wisdom is revealed in these spontaneous little details.

Although he may not have thought of it at the time, subconsciously he already believed that this was the optimal solution.

This is what super intelligence is like.

If you need to constantly use your brain to think in order to find the optimal solution, then what kind of super intelligence is that?

To call something that an ordinary person can do super intelligence is an insult.

True super intelligence is instinct that requires no thought!

Jiang Si's decision to leave Xi Lan behind and infiltrate the Witch's Guild is undoubtedly a testament to his exceptional wisdom!

True super intelligence is something that even the person themselves may not be aware of...

Bing Tang watched Jiang Si's expression with great interest. After a while, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, there's something else I almost forgot to mention. As you instructed, if you get back late, use the Ziyuan doll and Coco to let them know. You've been missing for too long, so I'll go tell Coco first."

"However, the situation was a bit complicated at the time." Bing Tang didn't know what to say for a moment. When the bus was going through a bumpy road and swaying, she bumped into Jiang Si.

After sighing, she continued, "When I talked to her, she got upset. Coco felt that Ziyuan was irresponsible for taking you to a dangerous place and failing to protect you, so she said she hated Ziyuan."

"I know," Jiang Si said nonchalantly. "Don't worry about it."

"Ziyuan's relationship with Coco might deteriorate..."

"When did Ziyuan and Coco become so close?" Jiang Si asked curiously. "You've only met a few times, haven't you?"
