It was autumn, and the mountains were dyed gold. The leaves of the maple trees turned red, and some golden leaves fell, covering the ground.
At the entrance of Free Cloud Sect, the stone steps were covered with dried leaves. Early in the morning, two Daoists were sweeping along the stone steps.
The square in front of the entrance had been repaired, and there were no signs of the battle.
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
These voices belonged to the new disciples, and they were practicing their basic fist techniques. Other Daoists were practicing their swordplay, and Zhao Ning was giving them orders.
"White Crane Wings!"
The disciples in the square raised their swords.
"Piercing the Heavens!"
"Rainbow Setting Sun!"
Following Zhao Ning's chant, the disciples started to execute their moves. Free Cloud Sect's Dao techniques and sword techniques were all up to the disciples. After the battle, Pei Zi Yun had changed the way the disciples were taught.
"To enter the sect, one must practice the Hundred Beasts Dance, and have a healthy body."
"Once the foundation is established, one must practice the basic sword techniques to protect themselves."
"On this basis, one can choose to practice Dao techniques or sword techniques."
These Daoists were all working hard, and sweat was dripping down their faces. Some of the more skilled sword techniques were practicing by themselves, or exchanging pointers on killing techniques, breaking arrays, ambushing, and setting traps.
Yu Yun Jun was explaining Dao techniques, and several Daoists were listening to her.
As the sun rose, the morning martial arts lesson was over. After bathing and changing, the morning literature lesson began. The Daoists were gathered in the Patriarch's Hall, praying and chanting.
The rules of morning and evening lessons were not common to the Daoists. Every sect had their own rules. However, Pei Zi Yun understood that these were all fake. These were the rules of the sect.
Hence, the rules were, "Stay in the monastery, pray, pray, and pray."
The Outer Sect, True Legacy Disciples, Direct Legacy Disciples, and Elders all wore different Daoist robes. Etiquette and treatment were determined, and a Hall of Dao Instruction was set up. All Elders no longer directly accepted disciples, but rather trained in the Hall of Dao Instruction. When they reached the fifth level of Foundation Building, Elders could choose their own disciples.
This way, the Elders could save a lot of effort, and would be able to get good disciples. The sect would also be able to work together.
After the morning classes were over, Zhao Ning and Yu Yun Jun came out. They chatted as they walked. Unknowingly, they had reached the top of the stairs and looked down. All traces of battle had disappeared, and the newly built palaces were still floating in mid-air. Yu Yun Jun saw that Zhao Ning was deep in thought and stopped walking. She asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you want these newly built halls? "
Zhao Ning sighed, "No, I'm just thinking that this disciple of yours is really capable of doing what others can't. He already had all sorts of Orbits and Orbits, but with this combination, he's completely new."
"Let's not talk about the morning and evening rituals. Every year, there will be two rituals. One is to pray for the New Year's calamity, and the other is to pray for the country's prosperity. Thinking about it, it's really wonderful!"
"According to Sect Leader, the Calamity Slaying Praying Ceremony has become a grand ceremony within a radius of a hundred miles. Who doesn't want to Calamity Slaying Ceremony? There must be a lot of visitors. "
"A good harvest is a joyous occasion, and wishing the country a long and lasting life is like adding the finishing touch. I'm afraid the impact will be so great that even the government will have to participate."
"The two are different approaches to achieve the same result. One is to attract believers, while the other is to get close to the Dragon Qi."
"Within a few years, we might not be able to see the results. But after a long period of time, I can say that just based on this point alone, our Free Cloud Sect will definitely prosper!"
As the sun rose, Pei Zi Yun sat in front of his study table, holding a brush in his hand as he revised his book. Ye Su'er sat opposite him, drawing on her Plum Blossom. The two of them would look at each other and smile, but they did not disturb each other.
"Since we are gathering the tombs, we are also gathering the heroes."
Pei Zi Yun had obtained so many memories. Even if he didn't tell her everything, he would still be able to revise all the techniques from the foundation to the Yin Master level. Just as he finished writing, he took a deep breath and felt his eyes light up.
"I didn't expect this to happen!"
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of his eyes, as it grew bigger and became a translucent information interface. It floated in front of his eyes, carrying with it a faint sense of light.
"Yin Master: Second level (100% Completion)"
"Sword Techniques: Master (23.6% Completion)"
"Dao Principles: Advanced (35.6%)"
"Dao Techniques: 43 Types, Advanced (19.1%)"
"Stars Transposition: Level 3 (5.7%)"
"Cloud Wind Body: Level 1 (29.8%)"
"The second level is maxed out!" Pei Zi Yun looked at Ye Su'er, and saw that she didn't seem to mind. After some time, he said, "This reputation is really amazing. To a certain extent, it's even better than having a Paradise. As long as one's name is known throughout the world, even without a Paradise, it's still possible to become an Earth Immortal?"
"But being able to arrive here is because of the story of the pirates. This is the real story, and has benefited many people along the coast. That's why it's so fast." Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "The pirates have been wiped out, and the Imperial Edict should be arriving soon."
He stretched out his finger and tapped on the talisman. Immediately, a comfortable feeling spread through his entire body and his Yin Master. "Yin Master: Level 3 (0.5% Completion)"
Before he had time to take a closer look, the talisman heated up. A Free Cloud Sect disciple appeared, "Sect Leader, the imperial court's envoy is five kilometers away."
Pei Zi Yun was overjoyed, "I got it. Get ready, I shall descend the mountain now."
"Yes, Sect Leader." The Daoist disciples replied.
Ye Su'er hurriedly stood up as well, "Brother Pei, this is an important matter. Just go."
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and walked out. The etiquette of receiving the Imperial Edict was complicated. However, Free Cloud Sect had the experience of receiving the Imperial Edict, and thus did not have to do much.
When he reached the entrance, Pei Zi Yun was dressed in his Daoist robes to welcome him. After some time, he saw an ox-cart appear in front of him. However, the number of guards was surprisingly small. There were only four guards in front, and four behind. Pei Zi Yun paused before ordering, "Play the music!"
At that point, the sound of drums could be heard as the ox-cart came to a stop. A eunuch then stepped down from the ox-cart. Pei Zi Yun bowed to him and led him up the mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain wasn't too high. The eunuch looked around and noticed that the monastery had a main hall, side halls, pavilions and pavilions. The corridors were neat and tidy, and the incense burner had already been set up.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor." Pei Zi Yun and the rest of the Daoists shouted out in unison.
Hearing this, the eunuch announced, "The Imperial Edict states: Pei Zi Yun's heart is bright, and his skills are brilliant. He shall inherit the position of Free Cloud Sect Leader. He shall be bestowed the title of Dao Master, and be given the title of Qi Ning. He shall be bestowed with a hundred pieces of silk and a hundred taels of silver.
"Thank you!" The moment the Imperial Edict was announced, Pei Zi Yun noticed that it was different from before. The Imperial Edict was in the shape of a serpent. It coiled around the Imperial Edict for a moment before slowly moving in.
"Boom!" All of a sudden, Pei Zi Yun's entire body trembled. He felt as though he was connected to Free Cloud Sect and Paradise. He was startled and overjoyed at the same time, before returning to reality.
After the Imperial Edict was announced, Pei Zi Yun stood up and received the Imperial Edict, "Allow me to change my clothes and express my gratitude. Eunuch, please come in and serve me some tea."
The moment the eunuch finished announcing the Imperial Edict, he immediately laughed, "Dao Master, please go ahead."
The both of them entered the room. Pei Zi Yun then handed over three hundred taels of silver notes, "Eunuch, please serve me some tea."
"Dao Master is too courteous, I shall not decline." The eunuch replied.
Pei Zi Yun entered the room and focused his attention. Gradually, his Yin Master opened its eyes.
The Yin Master took a look and saw that everything had changed. It was now divided into two layers.
Beneath the ground was a white stream that flowed into a depression. Amidst the mist, there was some red Qi, and it looked rather broken.
"This is the Qi of the earth, and Paradise is actually what Feng Shui refers to."
Looking at the white Qi that flowed into the Imperial Edict, it formed a red and yellow color. However, the nature of the Imperial Edict seemed to be different, and was not the same.
"This is the accumulation of thousands of acres of farmland, farmers, and prestige. It looks like the Imperial Edict has been restored by more than half."
At this point, a small white snake was circling around the Imperial Edict, communicating with it. Gradually, the grey and black mist was expelled from the Imperial Edict, and the Imperial Edict was being restored.
"Could it be that the Imperial Edict can help Paradise to recover?" Pei Zi Yun thought to himself.
At this point, Zhao Ning carried a set of Daoist robes and said, "Congratulations Sect Leader on attaining the position of Dao Master. Please change into your robes and accept our congratulations."
Pei Zi Yun changed into his robes and walked into the main hall. He saw the Sect Leader bringing Ye Su'er along. She shouldn't have been there when the Imperial Edict was announced.
Everyone in Free Cloud Sect bowed down in unison, "Congratulations Sect Leader, congratulations Dao Master!"
When the ceremony was completed, it could be said that Pei Zi Yun had officially become the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader looked at Ye Su'er's excited expression, and felt a sense of disappointment. However, her face was expressionless, "Congratulations Dao Master, you have added the two words' Qi Ning 'to your title."
Normally, Daoist Sect Leaders and Dao Masters would not be given a title. With the two words' Qi Ning ', Pei Zi Yun already had the title of Free Cloud Sect.
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was being humble, she then said plainly, "Originally, I said I would stay for a month, and I stayed for another half a month. Now that I've received the Imperial Edict, your internal and external conditions are stable. Shall I take my leave now?"
"So soon?" Pei Zi Yun was shocked.
"Not soon. Su'er's cultivation has reached a crucial point, and we cannot afford to waste our time." The Sect Leader said with a straight face. After spending a month and a half together, their relationship had deepened. If it weren't for the fact that they still had some self-control, something might have happened between them.
Daoist Sects did not care about virginity, but keeping her yin to open the gates of heaven would increase her chances of success. She had already made her decision.
When Pei Zi Yun heard this, his heart sank. Seeing Ye Su'er's face turn pale, he felt a pang in his heart. However, he knew that the Sect Leader was soft on the outside, but strong on the inside. Her decision was not to be disobeyed.
After a moment of silence, he held onto his fan and said, "Since the Sect Leader has made such a decision, how can I stop him? I shall send him on his way. "
The Sect Leader then nodded her head and said, "Then I shall take my leave."
This was to give them some time. After some hesitation, the two of them left. Today, in order to receive the Imperial Edict, the mountain path was swept clean. However, when the wind blew, some of the withered leaves on the trees fell to the ground.
Pei Zi Yun held Ye Su'er's hand as they walked on the mountain path. From time to time, a leaf would fall on them. Pei Zi Yun gently brushed the leaf away.
Ye Su'er had already regained her composure and said, "Brother Pei, you've worked hard. These days, you've been managing the sect, and you've had to fight and kill. I have to cultivate as soon as possible and open the gates of heaven, so that I can help brother Pei."
As she said this, she was touched by her own emotions. Tears started to flow down her cheeks.
Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand and wiped the tears away, "I know, you're already at the eighth level. I know how hard you've worked. If it were anyone else, how many people would be able to cultivate as fast as you?"
Ye Su'er leaned on him, "There are, aren't you?"
"Me?" Pei Zi Yun laughed. He knew that he was cheating, but he couldn't say this out loud. The two of them didn't speak as they leaned on each other. After a long time, Ye Su'er took a step back and said sadly, "Brother Pei, I'll come and see you after some time."
"Before I leave, let me play a song for you!" Pei Zi Yun said as he took out the flute from his waist.
Ye Su'er took out her flute as well, and the flute started playing in unison. At first, the flute was as thin as a strand of hair, and then it started to twirl and twirl, drilling into one's heart. Even the eunuchs at the entrance of the mountain listened in awe.
When the song ended and the melody faded away, an ox-cart approached. Ye Su'er was reluctant to leave, but she still boarded the ox-cart and drove off into the distance.
