Chapter 193 Only by fulfilling one's duties can one avoid overstepping the rules.
Qingyang Venerable Saint and Xuanyuan listened silently, both letting out heavy sighs.
There are no records of guardians in the records of the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Xuan Yuan felt even more distressed.
That flying dragon.
Those are his dragons.
Qingyang Venerable Saint patted Xuan Yuan on the shoulder: "I still have sixty or seventy years before I ascend. During this time, you should travel around and sense where there is dragon bloodline. Perhaps the 'Heaven' token can recognize the Dragon Clan."
Xuan Yuan nodded, and from then on, he often traveled around.
Qingyang Venerable Saint told Zhong Lingxin that during the years she had been in the secret area behind the mountain and the ancient battlefield, Chen Xingyi had done an excellent job in business and had already formed a rival to the Chen family.
The Chen family, in alliance with the Lingyun Sect, relentlessly suppressed the Lingji Trading Company for twenty years, which ironically spurred the company to grow even faster.
Now, the Chen family may have realized that the spirit stones they spent in the Law Enforcement Association were wasted, and they are no longer keen on filing complaints. Instead, they are more frantically trying to block Lingji Trading Company.
Wherever the Lingji Trading Company operates, there will always be a Chen family shop nearby. They sell high-quality spiritual treasures at low prices.
In the current Immortal Spirit Continent, the Lingji Trading Company is welcomed everywhere. People are welcome to come and inquire if they want to open a branch there. The City Lord's Mansion can offer preferential treatment, such as tax breaks.
Zhong Lingxin's heavy mood was cheered up by the news her master told her.
The Chen family wanted to suppress her "Lingbao Trading Company".
No problem!
She welcomes it!
Now, she has two connections: Chen Xingyi and Huo Jun, as well as the "Dark Moon Palace" left to her by Yu Wuqing. She has connections both openly and secretly, so she is not afraid of suppression from the Chen family.
Qingyang Zunsheng handed Zhong Lingxin several jade slips, which contained Chen Xingyi's income and expenses over the years.
Zhong Lingxin took it and examined it carefully.
Very good. Chen Xingyi is a smart person. He understands management and also knows how to be managed.
Soon, the master and disciple started talking about Dragon Island again, and about the demonic cultivators who had conquered it.
The master and disciple both agreed that now that the demons knew about the Immortal Spirit Continent, they would not give up.
Right now, they can't find a way to attack the Immortal Spirit Continent because the teleportation array on Dragon Island has been destroyed. Once they find an opportunity, they will come back to seize the Immortal Spirit Continent.
This was the first time Zhong Lingxin had heard of Yuanxing, and the first time she had realized how wonderful the Immortal Spirit Continent was.
Qingyang Venerable Saint had some knowledge of Origin Star. He smiled and said, "Origin Star, I once read in a miscellaneous book that Origin Star is the best plane, and also the most coveted plane. I'm afraid it's not just the demons who covet our Immortal Spirit Continent, but even the immortals of the Upper Realm probably have some greedy ones who want to take it for themselves."
Zhong Lingxin nodded.
Qingyang Venerable Saint said to Zhong Lingxin, "It was fine when you didn't know, but now that you do, it's your responsibility to find the Long family as soon as possible. The Immortal Spirit Continent needs guardians. Otherwise, if the Demon Clan attacks one day, we won't be able to stop them."
Zhong Lingxin agreed, but she was worried. Where could she find the Long family?
At this moment, the Buddhist beads and the "Heaven" token in Zhong Lingxin's sea of consciousness and dantian also came together, whispering and discussing whether Zhong Lingxin should become the guardian.
In any case, the Buddhist and Taoist treasures they were responsible for guarding had already recognized Zhong Lingxin as their master.
Zhong Lingxin was unaware that the two newly acquired treasures were giving her things to do, and she was considering whether to give the spirit flower to Zhong Muyuan.
She had nothing to be reluctant about, but Zhong Chun was extremely reluctant to part with it.
Such a spiritual flower is truly rare. He was once a celestial lord, and after several lifetimes, he had only just seen this one.
He pleaded with Zhong Lingxin, "Xinxin, please don't."
Spiritual Flower, with the Spiritual Flower, you will never lack spiritual energy again, and you will be cultivating at all times.
As for Zhong Muyun, I'm not cursing him, but he has no powerful treasures to protect him, only a spiritual flower. Sooner or later, someone will discover his true nature.
"At that point, you won't be repairing his dantian, you'll be harming him! He'll die!"
Zhong Lingxin didn't take Zhong Chun's other words seriously, but she took his last sentence to heart.
Indeed, Zhong Muyun could not protect this spiritual flower.
With a slight sigh, I realized I still had to find him other rare and precious herbs.
Lost in thought, Zhong Lingxin returned to her Qingling Peak.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, Zhong Lingxin's face darkened.
From afar, she saw Liu Wanqiu walking from the entrance of Qingling Peak. Her face was extremely unpleasant as she walked quickly with her head down, her face full of resentment.
Zhong Lingxin strode over and walked directly opposite Liu Wanqiu.
Liu Wanqiu almost bumped into Zhong Lingxin because she wasn't paying attention. She turned to the side in annoyance, not even looking at the person she almost bumped into, and continued walking forward.
Zhong Lingxin looked back and saw that she had walked a long way before slowly walking into the peak.
At the mountain pass, several laborers were working the land with their heads down, chatting and laughing quietly about Liu Wanqiu.
"Tch, I've never seen anyone with such thick skin. Even Steward Zhong ignores her, but she keeps running towards our Qingling Peak."
"She's still trying to scam Steward Zhong for cultivation resources, isn't she? I heard that without Steward Zhong's pills, her cultivation would be incredibly slow. She's only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, isn't she? Tell me, she's over fifty and only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, what's with all the airs she's putting on for us? Honestly!"
"It's only because Steward Zhong has a good temper and didn't scold her that she was allowed to keep coming to our Qingling Peak."
"What can she do if she doesn't run away? Before, with Steward Zhong providing her with elixirs, she thought she was a genius, always thinking about climbing the social ladder. Now, Steward Zhong ignores her, and our peak master is a disciple of the Venerable Qingyang, so none of the other family members pay her any attention. She..."
Zhong Lingxin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her brother ignoring Liu Wanqiu.
Otherwise, all my efforts to help my brother would have been wasted.
From afar, Zhong Muyun saw Zhong Lingxin walking up into the hall and hurriedly came out to greet her, bowing and saying, "Peak Master, you're back."
Zhong Lingxin frowned: "Brother, you don't need to be like this. Just act like we usually do."
Zhong Muyun shook his head: "Although my sister is willing to treat her brother equally, since I have taken on the role of manager of Qingling Peak, I must abide by my duty. Only by abiding by my duty can I avoid doing anything out of line."
Zhong Lingxin sighed softly; her mood had soured again.
However, she also knew that what her brother said was true.
If people don't always keep their responsibilities in mind, they will eventually do things that violate the rules.
But she didn't want her brother to always be so respectful to her.
It seems we still need to find a treasure to repair my brother's dantian as soon as possible, so that he can cultivate properly and no longer be the manager of Qingling Peak.
Next, Zhong Muyun took out a stack of jade slips and reported on the development of Qingling Peak over the past ten years: "Peak Master, since you went to the ancient battlefield, Qingling Peak has been closed to the public. Apart from a few servants who are away from the peak, no one has come up here. A lake has been opened on the front peak, and the lake is full of spiritual lotus roots. The peaks on both sides are all planted with spiritual herbs, and the back of the peak is planted with fruit trees and tea trees, all intercropped as requested by you..."
