Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 86 You Have to Stand Up
Wu Tao said depressedly: "You constructed the formation, how can it be considered my contribution?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I can give you a second work."

Wu Tao was startled and asked, "What do you mean by second work?"

“That’s the second author.”

Zhou Qing explained, "Many of the formations invented by the Formation Court are actually the result of the hard work of formation apprentices. However, when the formations are reported to the sect, only the names of the official formation masters are left, and the contributions of the apprentices are essentially ignored."

"If Brother Wu Tao lends me the materials, once I successfully construct the formation, I can also add Brother Wu's name after mine, and indicate that Brother Wu also played a role in it. What do you think?"

Zhou Qing's statement is very novel.

Wu Tao couldn't help but think about it.

The formations of Qingyun Sect will be bound into books and passed down to future generations. It would be a great honor if his name could be passed down to future generations on the page of a Xuan-grade formation.

Just based on this one thing, if he has descendants in the future, his descendants can also be taken care of by the sect as the so-called local faction.

Not all descendants of the sect can become the so-called local faction. Only those with higher status and who have made contributions to the sect are qualified.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhou Qing continued to persuade him, "This method may even be implemented in the Formation Court in the future. In the future, when a formation master constructs a formation, if an apprentice makes a contribution, he can list the apprentice as the second or third author."

"Even if the second author only accounts for one-tenth of the credit, it is enough to bring many benefits to the apprentice."

Wu Tao was finally convinced. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm really impressed by your intelligence. You can even think of something like this."

"A material higher than the golden monkey skin is soft black jade. This material is commonly used by formal array masters. We apprentices can only apply for one piece for free each month. I haven't applied for this month's soft black jade yet, so I'll give it to you."

After saying that, he asked Zhou Qing to wait in the research room and walked out.

About a quarter of an hour later, he came back with a palm-sized rectangular piece of black jade in his hand.

Wu Tao smiled and said, "A formal formation master's soft black jade is wider, ours is only this small piece."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "That's enough."

After saying that, he took the soft black jade and found that the soft black jade felt very good, warm and soft.

Wu Tao said, "Carving soft black jade requires special fossil plaster, and writing array formations on soft black jade requires spiritual marrow. These two things are not too precious. I still have a lot here, so I'll give them to you as well."

After that, he took out a small box from under the huge table in the research room. There were two compartments in the box, one for Lingxi marrow and the other for petrified plaster.

Zhou Qing thanked him again and again, and promised to come to him after the formation was successfully constructed. He would report the formation to the sect in the name of both of them, and then he left Xuanzhe's research room.

Zhou Qing did not decide to hand over this formation.

He had experienced its power, or to be more precise, how powerful it could be in theory.

If it is successfully developed and can have one-third of the power that Mu Zhuosha used that day, it will be enough to tear the mind of any cultivator below the Foundation Establishment stage.

Not everyone can have the same heart of Tao as him, and not everyone can use magnetic field ability to wake themselves up from the state of mental control at any time.

This will be a very useful method.

It is naturally not a good idea to make the means you prepare for your own use public, at least not before the skills are updated.

But Zhou Qing didn't intend to go back on his word.

After all, Wu Tao helped him, so he should let him benefit as well. This is the right attitude to have if you want to establish a long-term relationship.

Finally, Zhou Qing turned his attention to the by-products of his research process.

He could choose one of them, develop it into a mature formation, and hand it over to Wu Tao to report to the sect.

After leaving the Formation Court, Zhou Qing went straight to the Transmission Hall, intending to discuss the elders' dispute with Uncle Chen.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the Transmission Hall, Zhou Qing saw two monks chatting there.

One of them is Uncle Chen’s rival, Lu Qingzhu. Lu Qingzhu is introverted and serious, giving people the feeling that he is not easy to get close to.

The monk who was talking to him was a giant-like man. He was nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and a big waist. His body shape alone was enough to give people a sense of oppression.

The two walked out while talking. Zhou Qing guessed that this was because Lu Qingzhu was seeing off the guests after meeting them.

Zhou Qing saluted Lu Qingzhu as a disciple from a distance and was about to pass the two of them to enter the training hall, but the giant beast-like man suddenly called him.

"Are you Zhou Qing?"

the man asked.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Exactly. May I know your name, Senior?"

Lu Qingzhu introduced, "This is Liu Wentian, the director of the sect's spiritual mine at Jiyun Mountain. You can just call him Uncle Liu."

Zhou Qing then followed the disciple's etiquette and said, "Greetings, Uncle Liu."

He thought that this person must be the ancestor of Liu Bingxuan. He immediately remembered what Wei Kuang said, that this "feudal lord" was a fellow junior of Uncle Lu, and he intended to take advantage of the situation to help Uncle Lu become the elder.

This time, he came to visit Lv Qingzhu at the Transmission Hall to discuss this very matter. Liu Wentian examined Zhou Qing and said, "Even back in Jiyun Mountain, I've heard of your name. I have to thank you. My son had a very impulsive and unruly personality, but thanks to you, he's learned a lesson. Now, I think he's much calmer."

Zhou Qing said, "Uncle Master, you are too kind. I have no right to teach Brother Liu. It was the sect's rules that taught him a lesson."

Liu Wentian's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile, saying, "That makes sense. As your uncle, I can see clearly what you are saying."

"Master, thank you for the compliment."

Zhou Qing said: "Disciple has something to see Uncle Chen about. If Uncle Chen is alright, disciple will take his leave."

After saying that, Zhou Qing said goodbye to the two of them and walked into the Transmission Hall.

Liu Wentian said, "It is said that this little guy has been very popular recently. Bingxuan and Yuhe have suffered losses from him one after another."

Lu Qingzhu said, "It's just a child's temper, it's nothing serious. However, the Sect Master asked Elder Mao Liang about him a while ago, which is worrying."

Liu Wentian asked in surprise, "What did the Master say?"

Lu Qingzhu said, "At that time, they were discussing the funeral arrangements for Elder Fang. They needed to select some disciples to be responsible for receiving the friends who came to pay their respects. The headmaster specifically asked about him, and it seemed that he was interested in selecting him as well."

"Elder Mao Liang said he had only recently joined the sect and was not yet suited to such a heavy responsibility, so the Sect Master said nothing more."

Both of them understood what this meant.

The disciples responsible for reception are all carefully selected from the sect. They may not have a high level of cultivation, but they must have some special excellences. They can serve as the face of the sect and compete with other disciples of the sect.

The fact that the headmaster intended to select Zhou Qing to be in charge of receiving guests showed that he valued Zhou Qing very much.

Liu Wentian said, "No matter how outstanding his performance is, he is only a nominal disciple and cannot influence the overall situation. I have already contacted the other brothers and sisters. We will all take this opportunity to work together and must nominate the eldest brother to the position."

Lu Qingzhu nodded and said, "Thank you, fellow apprentices."

Liu Wentian smiled and said, "What's the hard part? Since Big Brother can become an elder of the Transmission Hall, all of us Junior Brothers will benefit as well."

……

When I arrived at Chen Qingxuan's house, he was reading a book.

Zhou Qing took a quick glance and discovered that it was a book on formation techniques, so he smiled and said, "Master, are you planning to switch to studying formation techniques?"

Chen Qingxuan said: "If there is no hope for the immortal path in the future, turning to the Formation Court will be a good place to while away your life."

Zhou Qing said, "This is terrible. We disciples were hoping that Uncle Master would become the elder of the Transmission Hall so that we could also benefit from it. I didn't expect Uncle Master to have already thought of a way out."

Chen Qingxuan knew that Zhou Qing had been following his campaign for elder, so he wasn't surprised. He simply said, "My foundation in the sect is still shallow, so there's no way this position will fall on me."

"Foundation?"

Zhou Qing asked back, "Are you talking about Liu Wentian and the others?"

Chen Qingxuan said: "You heard about it too?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Listen to what Wei Kuang said."

Chen Qingxuan said, "After returning to the sect, they went around trying to win over the heads and elders of the four halls. Among the four halls, the head of the Qimen Hall clearly supports the local disciples, while the head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall has an ambiguous attitude, but it is said that he has been very close to Liu Wentian recently."

"I am isolated and helpless in the sect. There is no point in fighting. I might as well just let them be."

Zhou Qing shook his head and sighed, "Master's laissez-faire attitude is the biggest problem."

"Although Master Lu has many supporters, there may be supporters among the elders. However, Master Lu's attitude is really chilling."

"If the person involved isn't resolute, his supporters certainly won't be motivated either. They'll think, 'I've given him my all, but he doesn't take it seriously. My efforts are just being self-serving.'"

"Even those who originally supported you are unwilling to help you after seeing your attitude."

Chen Qingxuan shook his head and said, "Since there is no hope, why bother?"

Zhou Qing said: "Uncle Master, if you cultivate immortality, can you guarantee that you will truly achieve immortality? Then why do you need to cultivate?"

"If we cultivators don't have the determination and perseverance to forge ahead even if faced with thousands of enemies, we might as well become wealthy men in the mortal world."

Chen Qingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "How dare you teach me a lesson."

Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "How could I dare to teach my uncle a lesson? It's just that seeing that my uncle, with such outstanding talent and ability, has been devastated by the incident with Uncle Mu Zhuosha, and has ruined his bright future, I can't help but sigh with regret."

Chen Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you are right."

"Then how do you think I should fight for it?"

Zhou Qing said, "He's moving around, so you should also move around and visit those elders who are on good terms with you. At least let everyone see your attitude, so that you can gather support for your cause."

"Even if you don't become an elder in the future, the elders in the sect will be able to see the power surrounding you."

"I also have a plan in mind that may be able to help."
