Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The next day, Xu Zhangqing went to the Dongting Immortal Sect to report the Lingqu Sect.

Upon learning it was a small sect established under his leadership and located within the Dongting Immortal Sect's jurisdiction, the Elder quickly agreed.

The Lingqu Sect was formally established, began recruiting disciples externally, and simultaneously launched various operational activities.

Spirit Rice and Spirit Plants were all high-quality varieties approaching Third Grade Spirit Field yields.

After all, Lin Xiaoman, Zhao Ying, Xu Linshan, and the others had farmed in the Immortal Sect for decades, each possessing rich experience.

Spirit Talismans were engraved by Ruo Qunshuang leading several Water Spirit Root cultivators skilled in the Talisman Way; the spiritual runes were condensed, spiritual power abundant, and quality extremely high.

Several days later, Qingxi Town held an exchange meeting, inviting large and small sects from the surrounding area to participate, with the purpose of promoting exchange and cooperation among the sects.

Ruo Qunshuang, as the Lingqu Sect's "Sect Master," proactively attended.

The exchange meeting was set in Qingxi Town's central square; each sect erected stalls displaying their specialty products.

Ruo Qunshuang, bringing several members, also erected a stall, placing the Lingqu Sect's Spirit Rice, Spirit Plants, and Spirit Talismans.

Due to the Lingqu Sect's extremely high product quality, it quickly attracted the attention of many people.

A cultivator wearing a blue Daoist robe walked to the stall, picked up Spirit Rice, and asked: "Dao Friend, your Spirit Rice quality is not bad; how many spirit stones per catty?"

Ruo Qunshuang smiled in reply: "Mine is high-quality Spirit Rice produced by a Third Grade Spirit Field, currently five Middle-grade Spirit Stones per catty."

Spirit Fields are divided into grades one through five; the higher the grade, the higher the quality ceiling of the Spirit Rice produced.

Spirit Rice is further divided into four grades: inferior, ordinary, high-quality, and supreme.

Different qualities, vastly different prices.

"Third Grade Spirit Field?"

The cultivator was extremely surprised and very readily paid the spirit stones, buying two thousand catties on the spot.

Just then, a gaze harboring ill intentions fell upon Ruo Qunshuang.

The owner of the gaze was a middle-aged cultivator wearing a purple Daoist robe.

Slightly plump build, eyes narrowed.

This person was precisely the Yufeng Sect's Sect Master Wang Kun.

Wang Kun's gaze landed on Ruo Qunshuang, sweeping over her beautiful appearance and refined temperament; greed flashed in his eyes, then he walked to the stall and picked up a Spirit Talisman with a deliberate pose: "Lingqu Sect?

Never heard of this small sect, but Dao Friend looks good!

Wonder if you have a Dao Companion?

If not, why not consider this Sect Master!

My Yufeng Sect is a Medium Sect, much stronger than your Lingqu Sect.

Follow me, and I guarantee you'll have no cultivation worries; whatever you want, you'll have."

Ruo Qunshuang's brow furrowed, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Yufeng Sect's Sect Master Wang, right?

Please have some self-respect!

Moreover, I already have a Dao Companion."

"So what if you have a Dao Companion?"

Wang Kun smiled dismissively: "Just a small sect; even at best it's only a Golden Core True Person — could they be stronger than this Sect Master?

As long as you nod, I can give that person more than enough compensation!"

Seeing this, surrounding cultivators gathered around one after another, only pointing and whispering, yet no one dared step forward to dissuade him.

Wang Kun's Yufeng Sect counted as a relatively strong sect in the vicinity; no one was willing to offend him.

Just as Ruo Qunshuang was about to flare up, a sharp shout suddenly rang out: "Wang Kun, you'd best not act recklessly!"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a cultivator wearing a gray Daoist robe striding over.

This person was precisely the Bishui Hall's Hall Master Liu Zhangfeng.

Liu Zhangfeng was acquainted with Wang Kun, and moreover knew Ruo Qunshuang's identity background.

Wang Kun frowned, then looked at Liu Zhangfeng with slight displeasure: "Brother Liu, this is a matter between me and the Lingqu Sect; it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"How is it unrelated?"

Liu Zhangfeng walked to Ruo Qunshuang's side and said to Wang Kun: "Do you know who Sect Master Ruo's Dao Companion is?"

Wang Kun said disdainfully: "Who else could it be but some big shot?"

Liu Zhangfeng gave a half-smile: "You actually guessed right.

Sect Master Ruo's Dao Companion is none other than Xu Zhangqing, Acting Peak Master of the Dongting Immortal Sect's Qingmu Peak.

Peak Master Xu not only has profound cultivation but is also the Spirit Field Office Farmer, controlling a large amount of the Dongting Immortal Sect's Spirit Field resources; even the new Sect Master Chao Jin regards him highly.

If you move against Sect Master Ruo, the Yufeng Sect will likely face extermination."

"What?"

The moment these words fell, Wang Kun's complexion changed drastically; the greed in his eyes was instantly replaced by terror.

He never imagined that Ruo Qunshuang's Dao Companion would actually be Xu Zhangqing.

The Dongting Immortal Sect's prestige, he naturally knew.

And Xu Zhangqing's name, he had also heard of.

After all, one who can serve as Acting Peak Master and Spirit Field Office Farmer in the Dongting Immortal Sect is absolutely no ordinary person.

Wang Kun swallowed hard, his gaze toward Ruo Qunshuang filled with apprehension; he hurriedly withdrew his previous arrogant demeanor, cupped his hands toward Ruo Qunshuang, and said in an awkward tone: "Sect Master Ruo, this lowly one failed to recognize Mount Tai; I have greatly offended, and ask for your forgiveness!"

After speaking, he left in a hurry, afraid that leaving a step later would bring trouble.

The surrounding Xiuxian Zhe saw this and all revealed surprised expressions, their gazes toward Ruo Qunshuang becoming reverent.

No one expected that this Lingqu Sect Sect Master actually had such deep background.

Ruo Qunshuang cupped his hands toward Liu Zhangfeng: "Thank you, Hall Master Liu, for helping me out."

Liu Zhangfeng smiled: "Just a small effort."

I have long heard of Peak Master Xu's fame.

Being able to become Dao Companions with Sect Master Ruo is truly a match made in heaven.

In the future, if Lingqu Sect has any need, Bishui Hall will absolutely offer full support."

After the Exchange Meeting ended, Ruo Qunshuang brought the members back to Qingxi Valley, and told Xu Changqing about the Exchange Meeting, including Wang Kun's coveting and Liu Zhangfeng's helping out.

Xu Changqing heard this and reached out to hold her hand, a coldness flashing in his eyes, then said softly: "If you encounter such things again in the future, there is no need to endure silently.

With me here, no one can bully you."

Ruo Qunshuang nodded, then changed the subject and said with a smile: "This Exchange Meeting, I also had an unexpected harvest.

The Town Mayor of Qingxi Town took the initiative to find me, saying that the farmers in town often have poor harvests due to drought and other problems, and want to ask our Sect's members and Disciples to help cast Cloud Rain Technique.

Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones per mu of land as remuneration.

I think it's not bad; it can both increase Sect income and let everyone go out to Exercise."

Xu Changqing said with praise: "This idea is good; it can both improve everyone's Art Proficiency and establish a good Cooperation Relationship with Qingxi Town."

Although Lingqu Sect has me and the Immortal Sect behind it, it is ultimately just a newly developed small Sect.

Even if there is the Legacy of Jiuqu Sect, it cannot support things forever.

Therefore, having a good Revenue Source is very important.

From then on, Lingqu Sect's members or Disciples began taking turns to go to Qingxi Town.

Everyone's Arts became more and more Proficient, the Sect's income became more and more Rich, and the relationship with Qingxi Town became even closer day by day.

Lingqu Sect's fame in Zhou Bian became louder and louder, many people came to join because of the fame, but only a few were accepted.

As for Xu Changqing, on one hand he managed the affairs of Qingmu Peak, and on the other hand he provided support for Lingqu Sect!
