"Uncle! Uncle!"
Zhang Yang arrived at the summit of Lingyun Peak, which was also the location where Lingyunzi lived.
The Seven Elders of Qingyun each occupied a mountain peak and each had their own titles.
Although the Qingyun Sect has a small number of disciples, anyone who underestimates the Qingyun Sect will definitely not end up in a good situation.
Ling Yunzi walked out and gruffly asked, "What for?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "There's something I need to ask my uncle for. I want to inspect the territory of Qingyun Mountain. However, my cultivation level is low and I'm only a stage-three cultivator. If I encounter powerful beasts or evil people who intrude into Qingyun, it would be very dangerous. So, I would like to ask my uncle to accompany me on this trip."
Ling Yunzi saw that it was nothing serious and nodded in agreement.
"Uncle, before we leave, could you please do me a favor, Uncle?" Zhang Yang pointed towards the main hall. "If we rely only on them, it's unlikely that we can build a shelter in two days. Please use your sword to help them cut some trees, so that they can build the house and courtyard more conveniently."
Ling Yunzi's lips twitched uncontrollably, completely at a loss for what to say.
He, the dignified cultivator of the Yuan Yin stage, went to chop firewood... and he used a flying sword...
The other several people who had been observing Zhang Yang through the magic mirror, preparing to watch how he would carry out the reforms, burst into laughter when they saw Ling Yunzi's expression.
They knew that if Zhang Yang found them at this time, it would definitely mean something bad was about to happen.
Ling Yunzi took a deep breath and leaped off, flying towards the main hall.
The person was still in the air, and the flying sword had already appeared. The sword's aura swept towards the towering trees that had stood beside the grand hall for countless years.
He has vented his anger on those big trees.
The people gathered in the main hall square were now looking worried and frustrated. Many of them had no idea at all how to build houses.
The most crucial point is that they didn't have any tools at hand. How could they cut down trees to build houses?
Suddenly, an overwhelming torrent of sword energy pierced through a huge tree. A tree that was several human arms in diameter was quickly transformed into numerous pieces of wood under the force of the sword energy.
One by one, the big trees fell down, and piles of wood appeared...
Zhang Yang flew over and looked at the stunned crowd, then said loudly, "What are you all standing there for? Don't you appreciate Master Ling Yun!"
Everyone came to their senses and said one after another, "Thank you, Senior Ling Yun!"
"Didn't you eat? Speak louder, be more orderly. Three, two, one. Thank you, Senior Ling Yun!"
"Thank you, Senior Lingyun!"
All the people shouted in unison at the top of their voices, and the deafening sound echoed throughout Qingyun Sect.
Lin Yunzi, who was drawing his sword, felt the vitality of the crowd and saw the expressions on their faces. His resentment vanished to a great extent.
Then, he focused on drawing his sword and successively brought down more than a dozen trees.
"Uncle, that's about enough! Stop cutting!" Zhang Yang shouted to halt the action.
Ling Yunzi drew his sword and stood with his hands behind his back, presenting an image of a refined and dignified person.
The more than eighty people who had just joined the Qingyun Sect were gazing in wonder.
If before, they didn't have much understanding of cultivation, after Ling Yunzi made his move, they began to have a stronger desire for future cultivation, and also developed a greater sense of identification with the Qing Yun Sect.
"Everyone get moving and help each other. Build the houses you live in as soon as possible!" Zhang Yang commanded, and then said to Ling Yunzi, "Uncle, let's go!"
He flew out towards the blue sky first, and Ling Yunzi naturally followed closely behind.
On Qingyun Peak, the people who had just witnessed that scene were deep in thought.
After a moment of silence, Qingyunzi said calmly, "I have to go into seclusion. See you in half a year. As for you, you should still help those boys! Since they have joined our Qingyun Sect, we can't just ignore them!"
Then, he left.
The other five people looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.
Even if they wanted to help, they wouldn't know where to start!
Even when it comes to renovating the house, they won't do it!
The last few people returned to their respective places and decided to wait for Zhang Yang to come back before proceeding.
Judging from Ling Yunzi's current situation, if Zhang Yang needs their help, he should come to them.
On the other hand, Ling Yunzi asked Zhang in a somewhat puzzled tone, "Where are you going?"
How could he fail to understand Zhang Yang's intention?
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Uncle, actually we from the Qingyun Sect are not poor at all. We just don't know how to make good use of our resources."
"Utilize?" Ling Yunzi was completely confused.
What can be utilized in the Qingyun Sect?
Zhang Yang smiled and pointed at the vast expanse beneath his feet: "Within a radius of three hundred miles, this entire area is my Qingyun territory. Everything on this territory rightfully belongs to Qingyun. However, over the years, we have simply failed to exploit these resources."
Ling Yunzi seemed to understand a bit. He glanced at Zhang Yang and said, "So, you recruited many people and asked them to explore for resources?"
Zhang Yang shook his head: "It's much more than that. I simply didn't expect that Qingyun's territory was so vast. Ah, there's a village ahead. Let's land there."
The people in the village saw someone flying towards the village. After a moment of stunned silence, they couldn't help but kneel down and shout: "Holy Master!"
Zhang Yang hurriedly helped everyone up and said, "Get up! Get up quickly!"
The people's eyes, filled with both fear and longing, turned towards Zhang Yang.
They had long heard of the existence of the immortal, but they never expected to see one in person today.
Zhang Yang looked at the group and asked, "Where is the village head?"
The old man with grizzled hair trembled as he stepped forward, lowering his head and not daring to look at Zhang Yang: "I'm the village head here, my name is Li Fugui. I don't know what the immortal has ordered!"
"Old man, don't be polite!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "We are members of the Qingyun Sect. It's about seventy or eighty miles from your village. We are all neighbors!"
"Qingyun Sect!" Village Head Li Guibao exclaimed in surprise. "We've heard about it before. We never expected that the immortal master actually came from Qingyun Sect. By the way, it seems that someone from our village also went to Qingyun Sect to take the assessment... Ninth Brother... Li Dog, your kid must have gone to Qingyun Sect to take the assessment, right?"
A burly man with broad shoulders stepped forward, scratching his head and sheepishly nodding: "My child was born rather strangely, so I went to the Qingyun Sect to try my luck. I've been there for many days now and haven't returned... Master, my child's name is Li Er. I wonder if he has passed the assessment successfully? My child is very good. Please, Master, show some mercy..."
Zhang Yang nodded and smiled, saying, "He is already a disciple of Qingyun Sect!"
Were there any who failed the assessment this time?
He did indeed see Li Er's name.
Li Dabao froze in shock and couldn't help kneeling down, with tears streaming down his face: "Thank you, Master!"
For an ordinary family, having a fairy master would be an extremely great honor!
Zhang Yang hurriedly helped Li Daguang up and said with a smile, "In the future of the Qingyun Sect, we might accept more disciples. It will be conducted every ten years. Anyone under the age of fifteen can participate in the assessment. The Qingyun Sect is very welcoming of such applicants."
This time I have one more thing to inform everyone. If there are any incidents where people are bullying you or other situations occur in the village, you can seek help from Qingyun Sect.
Additionally, if you find any good medicinal herbs or medicinal materials on the mountain, you can directly send them to Qingyun Sect. We will conduct a normal transaction with you, and even exchange some of the elixirs or talismans that you might need.
All the villagers were overjoyed and asked one after another, "Master Sage, is it really so?"
This is a new option available to ordinary villagers!
Rather than going to the market for trading, they would naturally prefer to deal directly with Qingyun Sect.
So, everyone was extremely excited.
"Really!" Zhang Yang nodded. "When you arrive at Qingyun Sect, just tell them my name. My name is Zhang Yang!"
"Thank you, Master Zhang!" The group repeated their thanks.
"If you come across something you can't recognize and think it's good, you can bring it to Qingyun Sect. We will examine it for you and then you can decide whether to trade or not." Zhangyang said again, and then he and Ling Yunzi leaped out of the village.
The villagers, with envious looks, watched as Zhang Yang and Ling Yunzi left. Then, all of them turned around and ran towards the mountains and forests, heading to search for medicinal herbs.
