Chapter 214: Disciple Has One More Request

“Qingshang wants to be responsible for the selection of entry-level Disciples for Zilin Holy Land the year after next.”

Jiang Qingshang’s words slowly echoed through the main hall.

The Hall Masters and Peak Masters of Zilin Holy Land all looked at Jiang Qingshang with some confusion.

Becoming the Mentor for entry-level Disciples was important, but also not.

For Her Highness the Saintess, it really wasn’t important at all.

Because the reason why various halls and peaks of Zilin Holy Land wanted to be in charge of selecting entry-level Disciples was simply to build familiarity and connections.

In the future, when applying for peak or hall funding, or being assigned to a place for trial, or when monthly spiritual flowers and Spiritual Plants were distributed, they would receive preferential treatment.

After all, it’s easier to get things done when you know people.

But none of this had anything to do with Her Highness the Saintess.

It was no exaggeration to say that if Her Highness the Saintess wanted something, there was nothing Zilin Holy Land wouldn’t give her.

Moreover, Her Highness the Saintess usually didn’t like participating in such troublesome matters.

So why did Her Highness the Saintess place such importance on the selection of entry-level Disciples the year after next?

They really couldn’t figure it out.

On the other side, Jiang Yuerou looked at Jiang Qingshang, also slightly surprised.

“Could it be that my plan has been exposed?”

According to Jiang Yuerou’s plan, Hua Lengyue would not only be in overall charge of the selection of Zilin Holy Land’s entry-level Disciples.

At that time, she would even be directly responsible for Lin Pei’s group.

Jiang Yuerou believed that as long as that Lin Pei saw a true Fairy, especially if she let Hua Lengyue show some closeness to him, making Lin Pei have the “three major delusions of life: she likes me.”

Then would Lin Pei choose “Jiang Qing, who is also a newcomer and a nobody”?

Or would he choose “Hua Lengyue, who is highly valued by the Holy Lord and Saintess, and whose cultivation talent and appearance are both top-tier”?

By then, just how much Lin Pei loved Qingshang would be clear.

However, Jiang Yuerou felt that no man could resist the temptation of a Bai-Fu-Mei!

“Impossible, my plan absolutely cannot be exposed.” Looking into Jiang Qingshang’s eyes, Jiang Yuerou shook her head inwardly.

She was only letting Hua Lengyue be in charge of the entry-level Disciple selection; Qingshang definitely didn’t know her deeper meaning.

I am on the third layer, while Qingshang is at most on the first!

Then why was this?

Could Qingshang want to personally be in charge of that Lin Pei?

That was even more impossible.

Because Qingshang would be participating in the entry-level Disciple selection alongside Lin Pei at that time.

At that time, how could Qingshang be in charge of Lin Pei?

In fact, Jiang Qingshang indeed hadn’t guessed Jiang Yuerou’s intention because she had extreme confidence in her husband.

She simply didn’t believe her husband would be led away by another woman.

Jiang Qingshang indeed intended to participate in the entry-level Disciple selection with Lin Xun.

For Jiang Qingshang, entering the Sect with her husband, participating in trials together, and then protecting him in secret, witnessing his growth step by step—how wonderful that would be.

She couldn’t participate in her husband’s past life.

But in her husband’s future cultivation path, she would be there every step of the way.

To Jiang Qingshang, this was definitely the happiest thing.

However, Jiang Qingshang was not satisfied with just this!

It was true she wanted to cultivate as a little newbie with her husband.

But she also wanted to tease him.

When the time came, she would approach him in her identity as the Zilin Saintess and then tease him; his reaction would surely be very interesting.

Besides, when her husband participated in Zilin Holy Land’s entry selection, “Jiang Qingshang” would have to appear before him frequently.

At the very least, she had to let him get familiar with “Jiang Qingshang” first.

When she finally revealed her identity, her husband might not find it so hard to accept, and the shock might not be as great.

So, she had to participate in the entry selection of Zilin Holy Land the year after next!

“In that case, let Hua Lengyue assist you, Qingshang. Is that okay?” Jiang Yuerou asked tentatively.

“Qingshang will follow Master’s arrangement.” Hearing her Master agree, the anxiety in Jiang Qingshang’s heart vanished instantly.

“Then it’s settled.” Jiang Yuerou also breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Qingshang hadn’t discovered her true intentions.

Since that was the case, if Qingshang wanted to preside over it, let her; let her do as she pleased.

Anyway, all she wanted to do was push Hua Lengyue in front of Lin Pei and at least establish some kind of connection!

“Master, your Disciple has one more request,” Jiang Qingshang continued.

Jiang Yuerou felt a bit flustered, not knowing what other mischief Qingshang was up to: “Go ahead, Qingshang.”

Jiang Qingshang’s lips parted slightly: “The Qi-Guiding Method allows a Cultivator with a Spiritual Root to step onto the great Dao of cultivation, but for a Mortal, it can also strengthen the body.

So to show the magnanimity of our Zilin Holy Land and to benefit the people, Qingshang suggests taking Luo City as a pilot and distributing the ‘Purple Guiding Art’ to the people of Luo City.”

Hearing Jiang Qingshang’s proposal, Jiang Yuerou blinked, while the Hall Masters and Peak Masters in the Zilin Hall all looked at each other.

The ‘Purple Guiding Art’ was the most basic Cultivation Technique for entry-level Disciples of Zilin Holy Land. Just as Jiang Qingshang said, those with Immortal Roots could enter the Immortal Path, and Mortals could indeed strengthen their bodies.

The grade of the ‘Purple Guiding Art’ was indeed not very high; after all, it was just the most basic Qi-Guiding Technique that could be learned upon entry.

But regardless, the ‘Purple Guiding Art’ was an entry-level Spell of Zilin Holy Land, only to be learned by entry-level Disciples.

Although it wasn’t said that the ‘Purple Guiding Art’ couldn’t be spread outside, it was because there was no need.

The ‘Purple Guiding Art’ wasn’t precious, and Cultivators generally didn’t pass on the Dao easily.

But if this spread to Luo City, and then from Luo City throughout the Qian Kingdom, eventually the ‘Purple Guiding Art’ would become as common as square dancing. This would really lower the style of Zilin Holy Land.

After all, you’ve never seen any Sect spreading its most basic Qi-Guiding Method for others to use for square dancing.

However, they also felt that what the Saintess said made a lot of sense.

The Qi-Guiding Method wasn’t that important. Even if the whole world knew it, besides potentially becoming a square dance routine, there would basically be no loss.

On the contrary, by spreading the ‘Purple Guiding Art,’ Zilin Holy Land could enhance its stature, and it would serve as great publicity for the Holy Land.

After all, when an ordinary Mortal with a Spiritual Root thought about which Sect to join for cultivation, their first reaction would likely be Zilin Holy Land!

Whether Zilin Holy Land would accept them was one thing, but whether they came or not was another.

Not bad! Really not bad!

As expected of Her Highness the Saintess; a random thought could be so thorough and comprehensive!

While they didn’t know what Jiang Qingshang was thinking, how could Jiang Yuerou, who had raised her since childhood, not know?

Jiang Yuerou admitted that this method was indeed good.

But Jiang Yuerou believed that this little girl came up with this method definitely because of that Lin Pei!

Because Lin Pei would enter Zilin Holy Land the year after next, this little girl was finding all sorts of ways to lay the foundation for Lin Pei!
