"Uncle! Uncle!"
Zhang Yang arrived at the peak of Lingyun Peak, where Ling Yunzi was.
The Seven Disciples of Qingyun each occupied a peak and had their own titles.
Although Qingyun Sect had few disciples, it definitely wouldn't be a good thing for anyone to underestimate it.
Ling Yunzi walked out and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Yang said with a smile, "There's something I need to trouble Uncle with. I want to patrol the Qingyun territory. However, my cultivation level is low. I'm just a Golden Core cultivator. If I encounter powerful demonic beasts or villains breaking into Qingyun, it'll be very bad. So, I'd like to ask Uncle to accompany me on this trip."
Seeing that it wasn't a big deal, Ling Yunzi nodded and agreed.
"Uncle, before we leave, I also need to ask Uncle for a favor!" Zhang Yang pointed in the direction of the main hall. "If we only rely on them, I'm afraid they won't be able to build shelters in two days. Please draw your sword, Uncle, and help them cut down some trees to make it easier for them to build houses and courtyards."
The corners of Ling Yunzi's mouth twitched constantly. He really didn't know what to say.
He, a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator, was going to chop firewood... and with a flying sword at that...
The others who had been watching Zhang Yang through the magic mirror, ready to see how Zhang Yang would carry out the reform, couldn't help snickering when they saw Ling Yunzi's expression.
They knew that nothing good would happen if Zhang Yang found them at this time.
Ling Yunzi took a deep breath and leaped into the air, flying towards the direction of the main hall.
While still in the air, his flying sword had already appeared, and the sword qi swept towards the towering trees that had been standing beside the main hall for who knew how many years.
He had already vented his resentment on those big trees.
The people on the square in front of the main hall were frowning at this time. Many of them didn't know how to build houses at all.
Most importantly, they didn't even have any tools in their hands. How could they cut down timber to build houses?
Suddenly, an extremely powerful sword qi slashed into a big tree. The tree, which was as thick as several people could embrace, quickly turned into pieces of wood under the sword qi.
One tree after another fell down, and piles of wood appeared...
Zhang Yang flew over, looked at the stunned people, and said loudly, "What are you standing there for? Thank Uncle Ling Yun quickly!"
Everyone came to their senses and said one after another, "Thank you, Uncle Ling Yun!"
"Didn't you eat? Louder, in unison. Three, two, one, thank you, Uncle Ling Yun!"
"Thank you, Uncle Ling Yun!"
Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs. The deafening sound echoed throughout Qingyun Sect.
Ling Yunzi, who was wielding his sword, felt the vitality of the people and saw their expressions. The resentment in his heart decreased a lot out of thin air.
After that, he concentrated on using his sword and cut down more than a dozen big trees in a row.
"Uncle, that's enough! Don't cut down any more!" Zhang Yang called out to stop him.
Ling Yunzi put away his sword and stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master.
The more than eighty people who had just joined Qingyun Sect were looking on with admiration in their eyes.
If they hadn't had much of an idea about cultivating immortality before, after seeing Ling Yunzi's display, they began to yearn for their future cultivation and also developed a sense of identity with Qingyun Sect.
"Everyone, get to work and help each other. Build your houses as soon as possible!" Zhang Yang gave an order and then said to Ling Yunzi, "Uncle, let's go!"
He took the lead and flew out of Qingyun Sect, and Ling Yunzi naturally followed.
On Qingyun Peak, the people who had been watching the scene just now were lost in thought.
After a moment of silence, Qingyunzi said faintly, "I need to go into seclusion. I'll see you in half a year. As for you, you'd better help those kids. Since they've joined our Qingyun Sect, we can't just leave them alone!"
Then he left.
The other five people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Even if they wanted to help, they didn't know where to start!
They didn't know how to build houses either!
Finally, the several people went back to their own places respectively, planning to wait until Zhang Yang came back.
Judging from Ling Yunzi's situation just now, if Zhang Yang needed them, he should come to find them.
On the other side, Ling Yunzi asked Zhang Yang somewhat puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
He couldn't figure out Zhang Yang's purpose at all.
Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Uncle, actually our Qingyun Sect isn't poor at all. We just don't know how to make use of it."
"Make use of it?" Ling Yunzi was confused.
What was there to make use of in Qingyun Sect?
Zhang Yang smiled and pointed to the vast land beneath their feet. "The area within a radius of three hundred miles is all Qingyun Sect's territory. Everything on this land should belong to Qingyun Sect. However, we haven't exploited these resources at all in these years."
Ling Yunzi understood a bit. He looked at Zhang Yang and said, "So, you recruited a lot of people and let them exploit the resources?"
Zhang Yang shook his head. "Of course, it's not just that. I just didn't expect that the territory Qingyun Sect owns is so large. Eh, there's a village ahead. Let's land there."
When the people in the village saw someone flying towards the village, after being stunned for a while, they couldn't help but kneel down and shout, "Immortal Master!"
Zhang Yang quickly helped them up and said, "Get up! Get up quickly!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yang with a mixture of fear and longing in their eyes.
They had long heard of the existence of immortal masters. They didn't expect to see one alive today.
Zhang Yang looked at everyone and asked, "Where's the village head?"
An old man with grey hair trembled as he stood up. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Yang at all. "I'm the village head here. My name is Li Fugui. I don't know what instructions the Immortal Master has."
"Old man, don't be polite!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "We're from Qingyun Sect. It's about seventy or eighty miles away from your village. We're all neighbors!"
"Qingyun Sect!" Village head Li Fugui said in surprise. "We've heard of it. I didn't expect that the Immortal Master is from Qingyun Sect. By the way, it seems that someone from our village also went to Qingyun Sect to participate in the assessment... Old Ninth... Li Dagou, your son went to Qingyun Sect to participate in the assessment, right?"
A burly man with thick arms scratched his head and stood up. He nodded a bit embarrassedly. "My son was a bit extraordinary when he was born, so he went to Qingyun Sect to try his luck. It's been many days, and he hasn't come back yet... Immortal Master, my son's name is Li Er. I don't know if he passed the assessment or not. My son is very good. Please be merciful, Immortal Master..."
Zhang Yang nodded and smiled. "He's already a disciple of Qingyun Sect!"
Was there anyone who didn't pass the assessment this time?
He had indeed seen Li Er's name.
Li Dagou was stunned and couldn't help but kneel down, with tears streaming down his face. "Thank you, Immortal Master!"
For an ordinary family, having a member become an immortal master was such a great honor.
Zhang Yang quickly helped Li Dagou up and said with a smile, "In the future, Qingyun Sect may recruit more disciples. Once every ten years, those under the age of fifteen can go to participate in the assessment. Qingyun Sect will welcome them very much.
I've come here this time to inform you of one more thing. If the village encounters people bullying you or other situations, you can go to Qingyun Sect for help.
In addition, if you find any good spirit herbs or medicinal materials on the mountain, you can also send them directly to Qingyun Sect. We'll have a fair trade with you, and we may even trade some pills or spirit talismans that you can use."
All the villagers were overjoyed and asked one after another, "Immortal Master, is it true?"
This was an extra way out for ordinary villagers.
Compared with trading in the market, of course they were more willing to trade directly with Qingyun Sect.
So, everyone was very excited.
"Of course it's true!" Zhang Yang nodded. "When you arrive at Qingyun Sect, just mention my name. I'm Zhang Yang!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master Zhang!" Everyone thanked him again.
"If you find something that you don't recognize but think it's a good thing, you can also send it to Qingyun Sect. We'll identify it for you, and then you can decide whether to trade or not." Zhang Yang reminded them again and then flew away from the village with Ling Yunzi.
The people in the village watched Zhang Yang and Ling Yunzi leave with envious eyes. Then, they turned around and ran towards the mountain forest to look for medicinal materials.
