Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 105 Backer
Mu Zhuosha smiled and said, "Although the old man is not very capable, he is not so power-hungry that he cannot see through it. He just intends to maintain a tense situation in the sect."

"There are several advantages to this."

Seeing that Chen Qingxuan and Zhou Qing were both listening attentively, Mu Zhuosha continued:

"The first thing is to prevent the sect from becoming too quiet. Among the many sects in Qionghua Continent, Qingyun Sect is already relatively peaceful. If we don't intentionally maintain some tension between factions and give everyone a sense of crisis, the disciples will easily become lax due to the overly comfortable atmosphere."

Zhou Qing thought about it. If he hadn't been entangled with Wei Kuang at the beginning and Fang Yuhe and others later after entering Qingyun Sect, he...

It doesn't seem to have any effect...

Zhou Qing burst out laughing.

However, he also knew that in many cases he was an outsider and could not be a role model. Even someone with a firm will to practice Taoism like Wei Xu had previously felt a lack of motivation to practice Taoism and wanted to rely on his resentment towards Liu Bingxuan to drive his own practice.

Not to mention others.

If there were no frequent frictions between the local and foreign factions, which constantly irritated the disciples and kept them alert at all times, it would indeed be easy for them to become lazy.

Zhou Qing nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Mu Zhuosha continued, "Secondly, the sect cannot but recruit disciples from the mortal world. Otherwise, the sect will become a collection of many families, and these families will conflict with each other, causing the sect to fall apart."

"Rather than these conflicts between families, conflicts between foreign and local factions are actually a good way to maintain the integrity of the sect."

"family?"

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "What family?"

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious about the so-called local faction within the sect. It's said that the disciples are all from the sect and have deep roots and connections. However, based on my observations during the nearly one year I've been in Qingyun Sect, I don't seem to have seen any families with such deep roots."

"For example, Senior Uncle Lu Qingzhu, I haven't heard that there are other clansmen with the same surname as him in the sect, but he is also regarded as the backbone of the local faction."

Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "You've been here for too short a time and haven't been involved in foreign affairs, so naturally you don't understand."

"You must have heard that the Qingyun Sect's influence covers an area of ​​nearly ten thousand miles. But do you know how the Qingyun Sect controls this area?"

Zhou Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Disciple doesn't know."

This is indeed a mystery. To be honest, there are less than two thousand cultivators in the three mountains of Qingyun Sect. Even if you add in the mines, shops and the like outside, there will be at most ten thousand people.

Considering the vast territory of thousands of miles, these people are really not enough.

He had occasionally been curious about this feeling before, but it was not a top priority after all, so every time it just flashed through his mind and he would not think about it any more.

Chen Qingxuan said: "The sect's management of its sphere of influence is mainly achieved through its affiliated families."

"The sect's disciples will regularly explore the land within their sphere of influence, and occasionally they will discover areas suitable for cultivation. Most of these areas are not worth the sect's effort to develop, and it would be a pity to leave them there. Therefore, the sect will select disciples to open up new land."

"The sect will allow the disciple to move his clan members there, inheriting the land for generations, and will also grant his family the right to practice the sect's branch techniques."

"These families are affiliated with the sect. They are spread across many corners of this area, managing the sect's surrounding affairs. Many of the sect's shops are managed by the corresponding affiliated families."

"Disciples with exceptional talent within the family can be sent to the sect for training." "For example, Wei Kuang. You should know that his grandfather, Wei Gongfu, died in battle for the sect, so Elder Jin Mang brought him to the sect for training. But did you also know that Wei Gongfu also has a younger brother, who is also a disciple of the sect. However, he is not as talented as his brother, so he took charge of the family affairs at an early age and is now the patriarch of the Wei clan."

Zhou Qing suddenly realized.

He had always wondered where the so-called local faction's local roots were, and now it seemed to be these affiliated families.

Those affiliated families are like satellites, orbiting the three mountains where Qingyun Sect is headquartered.

Zhou Qing thought that with the large population of these affiliated families and their relatively superior genetic conditions, just accepting their descendants would be enough to make up the number of disciples to be recruited every three years.

The reason why Qingyun Sect still maintains a large number of disciples from the mortal world is probably just as Mu Zhuosha said, that it intends to maintain a force that is different from these local factions, and also to leave a channel for the sect to replenish fresh blood.

In Mu Zhuosha, Zhou Qing saw the ideal example of a local disciple: extremely talented, confident, and with a broad vision.

Perhaps it was because Mu Zhuosha was the ideal self in the minds of all the local disciples, so even though she was actually so annoying, once something happened to her, the elders of the entire sect still felt extremely sorry and unanimously ignored all her annoying aspects.

The three of them walked for a while and then parted ways in front of the Transmission Hall.

Before parting ways, Mu Zhuosha asked Zhou Qing, "Your formation is only effective for three days, so every three days I need you to help me suppress the evil spirit?"

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "Master, you can come find me in ten days."

Mu Zhuosha looked at him for a while with a smile and said, "It seems you have your own little secret."

"I understand. Go ahead. If you need anything, just come to me. I should be staying in the Sutra Library recently."

Zhou Qing then said goodbye to his two uncles and returned home.

The thing he had worked so hard for for so long was suddenly completed, and Zhou suddenly had some free time, which made him a little uncomfortable.

He decided to give himself a day off to think about his next plans.

Now that he finally has his own supporters in the sect's upper echelons, Zhou Qing's sense of security has been greatly enhanced.

He has been busy all the time in order to create a safe environment for himself so that he can practice with peace of mind.

Now that this has been largely achieved, the next step is naturally to concentrate on cultivation.

Zhou Qing quickly arranged the following schedule, which mainly consisted of three parts:

Magnetic field, Tao heart, and Qi refining.

After continuous training in Eternal Sinking, Zhou Qing can now control twenty-seven magnetic fields at the same time. However, after the differentiation, the control of the magnetic fields will become rough, and he needs to spend more time on training.

The training of the heart of Tao is also indispensable. Zhou Qing is now increasingly realizing the benefits of having a firm heart of Tao.

In addition to the daily routine of sitting in silence to clear the mind, the training of Dao Xin then involves the tempering of eternal damnation. The latter requires a large amount of spirit stones, which he cannot do without scruples. It seems that he can only wait until he is promoted to a formation master and get higher treatment.
