Chapter 151 I'll only tell you one thing: I don't support useless people.
Chen Xingyi looked at Zhong Lingxin and suddenly felt a little depressed.
His cultivation should be delayed for a while.
His rank can only be two ranks higher than his master's at most.
Once the master-servant contract is signed, his cultivation level will drop.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin was unyielding, Chen Ermao knew he couldn't do anything about her and had no choice but to quickly report back to his master. Things had already gone awry; he needed to find a way to salvage the situation.
Zhong Lingxin was in a great mood after recruiting two talented individuals. She then picked out a few more people from the servant market before excitedly returning to the back mountain of Qingyun Sect.
In the back mountain, Uncle Xuan Yuan was already waiting for her. Seeing her lead a group of men and women of all heights and shapes into the mountain, he smiled and said, "You've had quite a haul!"
Zhong Lingxin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Uncle Xuanyuan's arm: "Uncle Xuanyuan, I have a great harvest today. Let me introduce you. This is Huo Jun, a member of the Huo family, as you know. This is Chen Xingyi, also a member of the Chen family. This one is also surnamed Chen, named Chen Nian. This one is Yu Ling, this one is Li Xiuniang, and this one is Yang Yurou. I bought several of them today."
Uncle Xuanyuan glanced over and nodded, saying, "Not bad, their minds aren't wandering."
Zhong Lingxin said smugly, "Of course! Don't you know who taught me how to judge people? How could I possibly pick out the worst ones?"
Xuan Yuan took out a communication talisman: "You haven't even returned yet, and the Chen family's message has already arrived. They said very nice things, asking Sect Master Lu to hand over that guy surnamed Chen, and telling us not to treat him."
Zhong Lingxin invited the newly recruited people to drink tea, and asked dismissively, "What did Sect Leader Lu say?"
Xuan Yuan also sat down at the tea table and laughed, "What else can we say? Sect Master Lu isn't stupid. Can the Chen family really threaten our Qingyun Sect? Of course, we should ignore them."
Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "Uncle Xuanyuan, you really underestimate the Chen family. You and Master have always been truly dedicated to hard work and cultivation, and you don't care about the amount of cultivation resources you have."
But other people in the sect are different; many of them rely on cultivation resources.
Next, we're likely to have a confrontation with the Chen family.
Xuan Yuan sat up straight, his eyes shining, and asked, "How do we plan to fight?"
Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "I don't know yet, but they will definitely stop doing business with us and cut off our various resource channels."
Xuan Yuan leaned back lazily: "This is it? I'll go and wreck the Chen family!"
Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "It hasn't gotten to that point yet."
Turning his head, he looked at Chen Xingyi: "I need you to support the cultivation resources of Qingyun Sect within ten years. Can you do it?"
Chen Xingyi nodded: "No problem!"
Zhong Lingxin asked him, "Do you know where you suffered losses in the Chen family?"
Chen Xingyi remained silent for a long time before answering, "I trusted them too much, and I also trusted my own abilities too much. I thought I could lead the family to greater heights and further, and they should all be grateful to me."
Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "That's only one aspect. The main problem is that your intelligence network isn't well-established. I've reviewed your information, and you are indeed a business prodigy, always able to spot business opportunities before others. But your intelligence network is insufficient, and you haven't noticed many clues. I don't believe that your father and his children's actions are so secretive that they leave no trace. It's just that you haven't investigated carefully enough."
Chen Xingyi nodded: "I understand. This is indeed my weakness. I will definitely pay attention to it next time. Wherever the shop opens, intelligence will be gathered there."
Zhong Lingxin looked at Huo Jun.
Huo Jun immediately sat up straight: "Master, what can I do?"
Zhong Lingxin slowly said, "When I saw you, you were trying your best to curl up and conceal yourself well, not letting anyone see anything you shouldn't. You must be a very meticulous person. I want you to try out intelligence work first. Chen Xingyi is in the open, you're in the shadows. You'll train all the intelligence personnel, and I'll give you a set of training materials. From intelligence gathering and analysis to personnel infiltration, various secret communication methods, and the methods of intelligence transmission and reading. In fact, every sect and organization has its own intelligence network and its own methods of acquisition and transmission. What I'm teaching you is different from what we usually use on the Immortal Spirit Continent."
Zhong Lingxin then turned to the others and instructed them, "You guys, go to my 'Lingxin Ji' shop to learn some basic skills first, then come back and learn from Chen Xingyi and Huo Jun."
I'll just tell you one thing: I don't support useless people.
Of course, if you follow me, I won't let you suffer any losses.
"I am determined to ascend. Those of you who can ascend will ascend, and those who cannot will still have sufficient cultivation resources. How far you cultivate depends on yourselves."
When Zhong Lingxin finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.
Soon, Zhong Lingxin imprinted her mark on the consciousness of the group.
Uncle Xuanyuan spat out a mouthful of dragon saliva, dissolved it with spiritual spring water, and gave it to Chen Xingyi to eat. He laughed and sighed, "You're so lucky, kid. So many people in the Immortal Spirit Continent want a mouthful of dragon saliva, a drop of dragon blood, or a dragon scale from me, but none of them have gotten it. You've turned misfortune into blessing. From now on, your body cultivation will be better than others."
After Chen Xingyi drank the dragon's saliva, the pain that had been burning him for nearly a thousand years slowly subsided.
He bowed deeply to Zhong Lingxin and Xuan Yuan in gratitude.
Zhong Lingxin used her spiritual power to lift him up and smiled, "Congratulations, you've escaped your suffering."
Huo Jun watched from the side, his hands trembling slightly.
She could tell that her master was easy to get along with and knew that she harbored thoughts of revenge.
If she is given the ability to learn intelligence, she will surely be able to find her enemies and avenge the massacre of her family.
Afterwards, Zhong Lingxin inquired about the magical artifacts each person was using.
Both Chen Xingyi and Huo Jun used swords.
Chen Nian used a knife.
The silk used by Yu Ling.
Li Xiuniang also used a sword.
Despite her name being "Gentle," Yang Yurou is a body cultivator who wields a heavy iron rod weighing several hundred pounds. She is only at the Qi Refining stage, yet she can still wield the rod with great skill and flinching motion.
Zhong Lingxin watched with great delight. When she was learning weapon crafting, she always started by crafting bricks and sticks to advance to the next grade. These two magical artifacts didn't have high requirements for shape, making them the easiest to advance to.
She took out a bunch of sticks of different lengths and sizes and told Yang Yurou to choose whichever she wanted. She also told her that she would be able to forge a magic stick for her every time she advanced to a higher level.
Everyone's lips twitched as they looked at the pile of sticks filling the yard.
What hobby does their master have, making so many sticks?
Zhong Lingxin looked at the group and laughed, "You guys haven't heard of 'hitting someone with a club,' have you? I'm even planning to make a few black bags, one for hiding and one for hitting, a perfect match."
After saying that, she took out a bunch of bricks: "With these bricks, it's so satisfying to smash them!"
