Department of Ghosts and Gods.
Jiang Hengchuan was also asking Lu Qingmo a similar question, his tone full of confusion.
"Junior Sister Lu, when Zhou Qing first started practicing, he received instruction from you, right?"
"Yes." Lu Qingmo nodded and said, "I have never taught him any Taoist techniques from Xuandu Temple privately."
Not only Taoist magic, but even some secret knowledge unique to Xuandu Temple would not be leaked casually.
Some of the knowledge she told Zhou Qing might be high-end and secretive, not circulated among the public, but it is definitely something that can be accessed after reaching a certain level, so it is not considered a leak of Xuandu Temple's secrets.
Lu Qingmo could definitely say that she did not violate any rules of Xuandu Temple.
"Why don't you teach him the Taoist techniques of Xuandu Temple?"
“…”
"Brother Jiang, I haven't forgotten the rules of the temple."
"You can accept Zhou Qing as your disciple, then you won't violate the sect rules."
Jiang Hengchuan couldn't understand it at all. "Zhou Qing has been with you all the time, receiving your teachings. You know best what his talent and strength are."
"Sister Lu, you didn't bring such a peerless genius into Xuandu Temple. I don't understand why."
"Any sect would be happy to accept a peerless genius. This boy is close to my Xuandu Temple. What do you think, Junior Sister Lu?"
When Jiang Hengchuan first met Zhou Qing in Taolin that night, he didn't know his background and didn't care about him.
Although it seems that this guy has a close relationship with Lu Qingmo, what does this have to do with him?
But when he learned about the situation in Heiyun Town and knew Zhou Qing's story, Jiang Hengchuan immediately took Zhou Qing seriously.
How could such a great man exist in this small place? And he was also close to his disciples at Xuandu Temple?
It is truly a godsend!
What's the difference between this and picking up a peerless genius for nothing! However, after knowing that Zhou Qing neither worshipped Lu Qingmo as his master nor joined Xuandu Temple, Jiang Hengchuan was stunned.
What does this mean? The genius has been sent to you, but you still don't "take action" against him? Jiang Hengchuan didn't understand what Lu Qingmo was thinking. In his opinion, letting Zhou Qing join Xuandu Temple was the best choice.
Xuandu Temple is happy to have a genius, Lu Qingmo also has an outstanding disciple who can be relied on in the future, and Zhou Qing himself can also receive the best training.
The winner can't win anymore.
So what exactly is the plan of this Junior Sister Lu in front of him? Lu Qingmo's eyes moved, and he looked at Jiang Hengchuan and said:
"As for Zhou Qing, I have my own arrangements. Senior Brother Jiang, don't worry about it."
Jiang Hengchuan frowned and asked Lu Qingmo, "Junior Sister Lu, do you not want Zhou Qing to join Xuandu Temple?"
Without waiting for Lu Qingmo to answer, he continued:
"I know that some people in the temple did something wrong because of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal, which chilled Junior Sister Lu's heart."
"But they have been punished, and you, Junior Sister Lu, have not been hurt, and you have not lost anything. The temple still cares about you."
"Junior Sister Lu, you can dislike or even hate them, but Xuandu Temple is your home after all."
"You also know that I always speak my mind. Bringing Zhou Qing into the temple is the best option for him."
Facing Jiang Hengchuan's persuasion, Lu Qingmo simply replied:
"I have my own arrangements."
Jiang Hengchuan shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"Since you have plans, I won't say any more."
He and Lu Qingmo are just brothers and sisters of the same generation, not superiors and subordinates, nor do they have the same master. Lu Qingmo's wishes are not something he can change.
Jiang Hengchuan turned around and left, but stopped before leaving and said, "If Junior Sister Lu doesn't want to go back to Xuandu Temple, I can take Zhou Qing back with me."
Lu Qingmo did not answer his question, so Jiang Hengchuan had to leave.
"Take it back to Xuandu Temple..."
Lu Qingmo was in a daze.
There are too many mysteries surrounding Zhou Qing. It seems that a powerful person is making a move in secret, or it seems that this is the possibility of a strong man being reincarnated.
This situation was too complicated, and for Zhou Qing's future and safety, she had to consider it carefully.
Not long after, the voice of Wang Zai, the Taoist master of Xuandu Temple, was heard outside. After getting permission, he walked in.
"Uncle Lu."
"What is it?"
"I have some doubts about my cultivation. Can I ask Uncle Master Lu for some advice?"
Looking at Wang Zai, Lu Qingmo said coldly: "Go find Senior Brother Jiang, he is in the Yin God Realm and has more experience than me."
"Then Uncle Lu, do you have anything to do here? I would like to..."
Lu Qingmo interrupted him directly, "The specific tasks of the Ghost and God Department are in the charge of the deputy chief steward. Go find the deputy chief steward and she will assign you a suitable task."
"Anything else? If not, please leave."
Wang Zai was speechless and could not say anything, so he had to leave.
Lu Qingmo didn't even look at him, his face expressionless.
"I'm so anxious. It's been fifteen years and I'm still thinking about you. Ha..."
She was a "useless person" who would be trapped in the Xiansheng Realm for her entire life, away from Xuandu Temple for fifteen years, with no reputation or power. How could she have the qualifications to ask the younger generation of Taoists in Xuandu Temple to lower their posture?
It is right to respect elders, but there is no need to be too attentive to them.
She could tell what the plan was at a glance.
At 3 p.m., Zhou Qing took Bai Ruoyue to the Yun family to witness Yun Duo becoming their apprentice.
However, what surprised Zhou Qing was that there were quite a lot of people coming to the Yun family. Yun Yuannan must have invited many people.
After a little thought, Zhou Qing could understand.
Becoming a disciple of Xuandu Temple is more difficult and a higher position than becoming an official of Da Qi.
Not every disciple of Xuandu Temple accepts disciples outside, his disciples are all considered disciples of Xuandu Temple.
Only true disciples who have grown up, or elders who have officially accepted disciples, can directly join Xuandu Temple.
Like ordinary deacons, non-true great deacons only have the right to recommend, and whether the recommended persons can pass the assessment of Xuandu Temple depends on themselves.
It is even more impossible for ordinary disciples to be recognized by Xuandu Temple. Otherwise, it would be too easy for them to join Xuandu Temple.
Although Lu Qingmo encountered an accident, his cultivation level of the Manifest Saint Realm also makes him a true disciple who has grown up. His disciples will be accepted by Xuandu Temple.
The prerequisite is that there can’t be too many.
If you recruit disciples within the mountain gate, no one will care about the number. But if you recruit dozens or hundreds of disciples directly outside, you will be investigated by Xuandu Temple.
There is reason to suspect that you are selling places.

Zhou Qing and his companion arrived relatively early. After letting Bai Ruoyue and the Yun sisters leave, he went straight to Yun Yuannan and solemnly thanked him for finishing up what he had done in Black Mountain.
"I don't quite understand what you said, nephew."
Yun Yuannan smiled and said, "What did you do in Black Mountain? Nothing, right?"
"What did my Yun family do for you? Nothing, right?"
"It seems that my nephew has been honing his martial arts since he entered the mountains, right?"
Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing and nodded repeatedly.
"Uncle Yun is right."
"You have to be prepared." Yun Yuannan reminded again:
"Five days from now, our ancestors will take action, and then it will be time for you young people to show your talents."
"With your talent and strength, I believe you can show your skills and spread the power of my Black Cloud."
"Five days later? I will try my best and will not let Senior Mountain God down." Zhou Qing nodded and asked, "What kind of test will Senior Mountain God give me?"
Yun Yuannan said with a wry smile:
"Regarding this point, the ancestors still haven't explained. What kind of test you will go through probably only exists in the hearts of the ancestors. Perhaps the ancestors will make a temporary decision at that time. It is not impossible."
The one in charge is the mountain god. He can do whatever he wants and it is not impossible for him to make a decision on the spur of the moment.
"But one of the rewards for this test has already been determined, and I know that."
"What is it?"
"That is a benefit that can be used by multiple people. It is called the Origin Divine Pond, and it is something that only gods can create."
Yun Yuannan explained: "After entering the Origin Divine Pond, you can refine the power in the pond, which has many benefits."
"It can enhance your foundation, improve your cultivation, practice special skills, etc."
"If our ancestors were not about to die, the Origin God Pond would also be destroyed. Normally, it would be impossible for a god to allow others to refine the power in the pool."
However, the mountain god is about to die, and this divine pool of origin can no longer be maintained.
This is a legacy that cannot be left to the Yun family.
"Original Divine Pond..."
Zhou Qing had never heard of the name of this thing, but just listening to Yun Yuannan's introduction made him very excited.
"This is the benefit that all those who pass the ancestor's test can get. There are other rewards. Although I haven't been informed of the rewards in the depths of Black Mountain, they must be quite good."
Yun Yuannan said: "You are the signboard of Black Cloud Town. It all depends on you then."
"It is my duty, but what should the local geniuses of Black Cloud Town do in such a test when facing more outstanding geniuses outside?"
"They are no match for those people."
"Black Mountain has also taken this into consideration and has formulated rules to take care of the people of Black Cloud Town and their hometown as much as possible."
"What rules?"
"If outside forces want to participate in the test of the ancestors, they must bring people from Black Cloud Town with them. In this way, if the people from Suzhen Palace pass the test, the people from Black Cloud brought by them can also enjoy the Origin Divine Pond."
"Of course, the ancestors will not give benefits to the people of Black Cloud Town unconditionally. Those who are with foreign forces will also have things to face when the test comes. They can't get benefits without doing anything."
Yun Yuannan recounted some decisions made deep in the Black Mountains.
"Although our ancestors want to take care of their hometown in the end, they will not give benefits to mediocre people. They also want to show their talents and demonstrate their strengths."
"This is just a rough idea. The details of this rule are not that simple. Black Mountain will continue to improve it. It will definitely give geniuses from outside and Black Cloud the opportunity to fully demonstrate themselves. The specific details will still be decided by Black Mountain."
Zhou Qing thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
"Although it is only a rough idea now, it seems that this idea can indeed take care of the people in Black Cloud Town as much as possible."
"Then I'll wait until five days later."
"Don't tell this news to anyone else for now. Just keep it to you and the people in Taibai Martial Arts School." Yun Yuannan instructed.
"Wait five days, and then Montenegro will make it public. During these five days, just pretend you don't know. If it gets out in advance, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble."
For example, some forces may use evil means to forcibly improve the cultivation of Black Cloud geniuses and make them work for them.
"The reason I told you this is so that you can prepare. If you want to benefit other people in Taibai, you must seize this last moment."
Zhou Qing's expression became somewhat subtle.
Isn’t this a shady deal?
The shady dealings are good, he likes the shady dealings.
I'm asking for double the monthly votes. The total number of updated words this month will definitely reach 350,000.
