After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Yet, on the other hand, she felt deeply frightened and uneasy.

She was afraid that her actions would fail, that it would affect the people around her, and even that her family would be put in danger again. This worry and fear, like an invisible shackle, tightly bound her heart and prevented her from breathing freely.

This struggle and contradiction made Xu Qingqing's mood extremely complicated and heavy.

Xu Qingqing and Lu Zhenting returned to Xiaoyao Sect with heavy thoughts in their hearts.

Looking at the Xiaoyao Sect located in the mountains, the vast fields around the sect were cultivated and planted with various crops. The green and well-growing potato fields, the yellow wheat experimental fields, and the colorful vegetable gardens intertwined into a vivid pastoral picture.

The people of Xiaoyao Sect worked hard. They were digging the ground with hoes, sowing seeds and applying fertilizers, or harvesting and drying crops. They were very busy and happy.

They respect every inch of land and cherish every crop. They use their own hands and sweat to carefully take care of the land and let the crops thrive.

Everything in front of me is peaceful and full of vitality, which makes people yearn for it. It is not only a sect, but also a home full of harmony and tranquility.

Xu Qingqing found it hard to convince herself to destroy the scene before her eyes, so she suppressed the thoughts surging in her heart.

Moreover, she knew that the Xiaoyao Sect's foundation was still shallow, and it was far from being able to compete with the imperial court in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Although the idea of ​​rebellion was strong, the reality was cruel.

The power of the imperial court is huge and deeply rooted, and it cannot be easily shaken. Although the Xiaoyao Sect has developed rapidly, it still has a long way to go before it can compete with the imperial court.

She knew that now was not the right time and she couldn't ruin the entire future of Xiaoyao Sect because of a momentary impulse.

After returning to Xiaoyao Sect, Xu Qingqing was visited by Xiao Yuheng after she had settled the Lu family.

Xu Qingqing took the iron ore handed over by Xiao Yuheng, with a gleam of surprise in her eyes. She stroked the rough ores, feeling their rough and solid texture, as if she could feel the power contained in them.

"Xiao Yuheng, you are amazing! You found these iron ores so quickly!" Xu Qingqing said excitedly. But the next second she was a little worried: "These iron ores, will they cause you trouble?"

Xiao Yuheng shook his head, smiled slightly, and looked at Xu Qingqing tenderly: "It's okay, I have my own way. Qingqing, as long as it is what you need, I will try my best to do it. You don't need to be too polite to me. We are friends, and we should support each other."

After hearing this, Xu Qingqing felt a warm current in her heart. She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Xiao Yuheng: "Well, thank you."

He was always so considerate, making her feel extremely safe and like a family member.

Xiao Yuheng didn't know what Xu Qingqing was thinking, but when he saw her smiling happily, the smile on his face also became brighter.

After seeing Xiao Yuheng off, Xu Qingqing couldn't wait to go to the brick kiln. As she walked, she thought about the new round of cement research and development plan, and her heart was full of expectations.

If this is successful, we can consolidate the brick kiln first.

She walked through the Xiaoyao Sect's courtyard, greeting warmly every sect member she met along the way.

"Hey, Master, are you going to the brick kiln?" asked a young woman.

"Yes, I'll go and take a look at the brick kiln." Xu Qingqing responded.

"A brick kiln. I heard it was completed two days ago. It can probably be put into use now." The woman thought for a moment and replied.

"Really? That's great, I'll go check it out right away!" Xu Qingqing said, and waved at the woman: "I'm leaving first, bye."

"Bye?" The woman had never heard of this expression, but she could roughly guess that it meant goodbye, so she responded by imitating Xu Qingqing's expression.

Xu Qingqing continued walking, occasionally exchanging a few words with the people from Xiaoyao Sect.

When she arrived at the brick kiln, Xu Qingqing saw several people busy at work. She walked over and asked, "Thank you for your hard work. How is the brick kiln doing?"

"Don't worry, Master, the brick kiln is functioning normally and can be put into use!" Ada replied.

Xu Qingqing nodded to show her satisfaction.

She carefully observed the brick kiln inside and out to make sure everything was under control.

Xu Qingqing took out a piece of paper covered with handwriting and step-by-step diagrams from her bosom, which recorded in detail the method and process of firing bricks in a brick kiln.

She walked up to Ah Da, handed him the paper, and said seriously: "Ah Da, this is the process of firing bricks in a brick kiln. You lead everyone to follow the steps above and make sure that every step is correct."

Ah Da took the paper and looked at the dense handwriting and the patterns drawn on it in case they were illiterate. He was excited. He knew how much Xu Qingqing valued this brick-making, and he also understood the responsibility he shouldered.

He nodded solemnly, indicating that he would do his best.

Although they didn't know what this thing was specifically used for, they all trusted Xu Qingqing blindly. They firmly believed that Xu Qingqing would not do useless work, and as long as it was what she needed, it would definitely be of great use!

All they need to do is make what the sect master needs as perfectly as possible, and then the sect master will naturally tell them the usage and benefits of this thing.

After thinking about it, Ada took the blueprint and walked towards the others.

"Okay, everyone come around, I will explain to you the method of making bricks." Ah Da called the disciples around him and held up the paper high so that everyone could see it clearly.

He followed the steps on the paper and explained them one by one, from preparing the materials to shaping and drying the bricks, and finally the firing process, every detail was explained very clearly.

The others listened attentively and nodded from time to time to show their understanding.

Following Ah Da's explanation, the disciples began to act according to the instructions on the paper. They divided the work and cooperated with each other, some were responsible for preparing materials, some were responsible for making bricks, and everything was in good order.

When Xu Qingqing saw that everyone was listening attentively, she turned around and left quietly.

I have more important things to experiment with and can't waste time.

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Qingqing couldn't wait to enter her own space.

In the space, Xu Qingqing quickly started a new round of research and development work.

She first grinds the iron ore finely and then mixes it with other materials. Each time she mixes, she carefully observes the reaction of the materials and constantly adjusts the formula.

With countless experiences of failure before, Xu Qingqing was obviously smoother this time.

"This time I must succeed!" Xu Qingqing said to herself.
