After talking with Gu Qingxun for a while, Grand Elder Pengwei went back to cultivate with satisfaction. Although Grand Elder Pengwei rarely interfered with the specific affairs of the sect, it didn't mean that he didn't care about the future of Penglai Mountain at all. If Gu Qingxun couldn't make Penglai Mountain stand out among the three immortal mountains, Grand Elder Pengwei would probably have to consider replacing Daoist Qing Song.
However, Grandmaster Pengwei was quite satisfied with Gu Qingxun's answer. It even exceeded Grandmaster Pengwei's expectations of Gu Qingxun. Not only had Gu Qingxun completely seen through the thoughts of Heaven Concealing Mind and Daoist Cloud Tooth, but he had also come up with a way to deal with them.
Gu Qingxun's way of dealing with this was to pretend to be weak and deliberately not fight against Daoist Cloud Tooth and Shrouding Heaven's Heart. In reality, Gu Qingxun's actions made Daoist Cloud Tooth and Shrouding Heaven's Heart the focus of all the cultivators of the three great immortal mountains. Meanwhile, Gu Qingxun herself began to 'cool' down. Her limelight was quickly overshadowed by Daoist Cloud Tooth and Shrouding Heaven's Heart. But at this time, Daoist Cloud Tooth and Grand Elder Pengwei no longer regarded Gu Qingxun as an enemy. The real competition between them had begun.
Of course, Gu Qingxun was not just watching the show these days. Gu Qingxun already knew that some cultivators from Penglai Island had secretly joined the camps of other Sacred Disciples. Some of them had even joined the camps of Abbot and Yingzhou. Gu Qingxun had gradually found out these Penglai disciples, but she didn't do anything to them. She just remembered their names and would settle the score with them in the future. Of course, if there was a chance, Gu Qingxun would also use these fence-sitters to spread some false information.
To resist foreign aggression, one must first pacify the internal situation.
While the Master of Indiscernible Mind and Daoist Cloud Tooth were secretly competing with each other, what Gu Qingxun did was to get rid of the "fence-sitters" on Penglai Island one by one. Although she didn't punish these fence-sitters, she couldn't punish them either. After all, the three Immortal Mountains were now truly united. Besides, it was Gu Qingxun who proposed the cooperation between the disciples of the three Immortal Mountains. How could she punish these fence-sitters? However, Gu Qingxun wouldn't put these fence-sitters in an important position, including the cultivators who followed other disciples of Penglai Saint.
Through Qin Lang's investigation, Gu Qingxun didn't have a lot of loyal followers. Even though she was now the Sect Leader of Penglai, there were only 300 Penglai cultivators who were truly loyal to her!
Compared to the entire Penglai Immortal Mountain, a mere 300 people was obviously too little. It was even more impossible to rely on these 300 people to rule the three Immortal Mountains. However, Gu Qingxun had clearly accepted Qin Lang's principle of "quality over quantity". Therefore, she and Qin Lang were basically doing their best to nurture the 300 Penglai cultivators. Therefore, it wasn't that Gu Qingxun didn't do anything during this period of time. Rather, she was training her own "personal guard". If it were someone else, even if it were Daoist Qing Song, they wouldn't be able to make these Penglai cultivators "shed their mortal bodies and exchanged their bones" in a short period of three months. It was unlikely that their cultivation would rise rapidly. However, Gu Qingxun did it, or rather, the combination of Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang did it.
This wasn't the first time Qin Lang had done this. He had many ways to quickly improve a cultivator's cultivation realm. Whether it was elixirs, techniques, or bloodline stimulation, he was very good at all of them. Although the cultivators of the Higher Plane Universe were somewhat different from the cultivators of the Lower Plane Universe, the difference was only that the basic structure of the cultivators of the Higher Plane Universe was more complicated. The power of the Nomological Laws of the Higher Plane Universe was more profound, but there wasn't much difference in their essence. When Qin Lang gradually adapted to the power of the Nomological Laws of the Higher Plane Universe, he soon learned how to use them.
In Mount Penglai, the strongest cultivators were half-step era overlords, and Grandmaster Pengwei was one of them. In the Ancient Kunlun World, a half-step era overlord should be considered a very powerful existence. A half-step era overlord of a Higher Plane Universe should even be able to compete with an era overlord of a Lower Plane Universe. However, if Grandmaster Pengwei fought with Qin Lang, Qin Lang would definitely have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, cultivation, knowledge, and means. This was because after Qin Lang entered the Higher Plane Universe, his strength and cultivation had improved again.
All in all, with Qin Lang's secret help, Gu Qingxun managed to raise the cultivation levels of her 300 loyal followers by a lot. As a result, these followers became even more loyal to her. This kind of loyalty had surpassed the loyalty they had for a sect master. It had turned into a kind of fanaticism and worship. It couldn't be helped. The cultivation realm of these 300 disciples had greatly improved. In the past, when they followed Gu Qingxun, they had more or less gained some benefits, but it was far less than what they had gained during this period. This was because during this period, Gu Qingxun and Qin Lang had focused their attention on the 360 Penglai disciples. This could be considered as giving them special treatment. Whether it was cultivation resources or techniques, they were provided to them without any hesitation. Most importantly, there was also Qin Lang's secret guidance. He completely focused on the weaknesses and shortcomings of these Penglai disciples, allowing them to quickly break through their cultivation bottlenecks one by one.
Of course, Qin Lang didn't directly reveal his own abilities. All the credit and halo were given to Gu Qingxun. In this way, the loyalty of these 300 Penglai cultivators to Gu Qingxun had reached an indescribable level. It could even be said that their loyalty to Gu Qingxun had surpassed their loyalty to Penglai! This was to be expected. For cultivators, the elements of power, cultivation realm, and realm were always the most important. They were far more reliable than loyalty. This was also the reason why after the disciples of the three great immortal mountains began to communicate and cooperate, many cultivators had become restless and joined different camps. To put it bluntly, it was to fight for more benefits for themselves. However, the cultivators of the three great immortal mountains didn't know that following Gu Qingxun was the wisest decision. This could be seen from the improvement of the cultivation realm of these 300 Penglai cultivators.
