Another major event that happened in the Yushan Sect was the disappearance of the mountain protection formation on Jinping Peak.
After being opened for half a year, the mountain protection formation on Jinping Peak was automatically closed because the spirit stones were exhausted.
When Taoist Baopu went out, he probably didn't expect that he would not be back for a long time. Without Taoist Baopu, no one in Jinping Peak could come up with a large amount of spirit stones to maintain the operation of the mountain protection formation. Even Yuzhu, the manager of Jinping Peak, did not have enough spirit stones to keep the mountain protection formation open for three days.
When Taoist Baopu first launched the mountain protection formation, there was a lot of discussion within the Yushan Sect.
In the Langyuan Secret Realm, the Yushan Sect has almost unified the world of cultivation, and Taoist Baopu is an elder of the Yushan Sect. Who in the sect is so blind as to dare to go to Jinping Peak and act wildly?
Taoist Baopu set up a mountain protection formation even after leaving the sect. Does this mean there are treasures in Jinping Peak? Is he afraid someone might steal them?
While the monks were devoted to their cultivation, most didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. However, this "other matter" was related to Jinping Peak. Taoist Baopu was considered a "genius" within the Yushan Sect. If they were to claim he didn't have any secret treasures or techniques to aid his cultivation, the Yushan sect's monks wouldn't believe it.
The disciples of the Yushan Sect speculated for a long time but could not figure out the reason why Taoist Baopu opened the mountain protection formation. It turned out that he was afraid that He Jingjing would go to Jinping Peak and disturb Wen Ziqing's practice.
After Jinping Peak's protective formation was closed, disciples from many other peaks flocked to the peak daily, hoping to strike it lucky and bring back one or two treasures. For a time, Jinping Peak was bustling with activity, causing headaches for its steward, Yuzhu.
Wen Ziqing didn't care about the changes in Yushan Sect at all. He was busy practicing every day. In his heart, Yushan Sect was just a temporary place for him to stay. The day he stayed, Wen Ziqing made a plan for himself.
Wen Ziqing gave himself five years to stay in Yushan Sect to practice. After five years, no matter what level of practice he reached, Wen Ziqing would choose to leave here and return to the secular world.
Wen Ziqing planned that five years from now, Zhou Yuanyuan would be eighteen. An eighteen-year-old girl would be an adult, and by then, he could confess his love to her. Although he and Zhou Yuanyuan were engaged, Wen Ziqing always felt that he owed her a romantic relationship.
Wen Ziqing didn't like gossip, and Wenzhu and Yuzhu wouldn't specifically mention the Yushan Sect's affairs in front of him. With Taoist Baopu at their side, regardless of who held the helm, Jinping Peak's status was unparalleled. Those cultivators who'd considered "treasure hunting" at Jinping Peak often stopped coming after a few months, their heads cleared. "Plundering" Taoist Baopu's territory? Even if they found the treasure, they didn't know if they'd still have the life to use it.
After becoming the sect leader, Liu Jingyu demonstrated his extraordinary ability, managing the Yushan Sect from top to bottom in an orderly manner. Not only that, Liu Jingyu also formed a dual cultivation partner with his junior sister Wu Xiuyun.
As the maid of the headmaster's wife, He Jingjing's status also rose. At least when He Jingjing ran to Jinping Peak to find Wen Ziqing, no one gave her the cold shoulder.
With this convenience, He Jingjing began to frequent Jinping Peak again. As the headmaster's wife's maid, she didn't have to do any daily work, so she had plenty of free time. After Liu Jingyu, who had originally been her "target," became Wu Xiuyun's husband, He Jingjing turned her attention back to Wen Ziqing.
He Jingjing's arrival severely disrupted Wen Ziqing's cultivation. He Jingjing, always feeling good about herself, always came to Jinping Peak, regardless of whether Wen Ziqing was in a state of meditation or not, and would invariably run to Wen Ziqing's courtyard, ordering Wen Zhu to make her tea, then to buy her snacks. Even when she couldn't enter Wen Ziqing's room, she would sit in the courtyard for half the day, drinking tea, constantly beating Wen Zhu's buttons, and demonstrating her "sovereignty" over Wen Ziqing to the other disciples of the Yushan Sect.
For a time, rumors spread throughout the Yushan Sect, and many disciples believed that He Jingjing, the maid of the Sect Master's wife, and Wen Ziqing, the direct disciple of Taoist Baopu, were an engaged couple.
Wen Ziqing ignored He Jingjing and spent every day in his room practicing except for the necessary meal times. In Wen Ziqing's view, his indifference had already made his attitude clear, and he and He Jingjing had nothing to do with each other.
Taoist Baopu was not around, Wen Ziqing didn't care, and Wen Zhu and the other errand disciples didn't dare to offend He Jingjing, so they had to let her "rule the law" on Jinping Peak.
Strangely enough, after Liu Jingyu took over as Sect Leader, his cultivation soared like a rocket. A few months later, Liu Jingyu advanced from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, stunning the many onlookers in the Yushan Sect. While the Yushan Sect didn't have many high-level cultivators, Liu Jingyu's ascension to the throne of Sect Leader at the Qi Refining stage still left many unconvinced.
Liu Jingyu's cultivation level improved greatly within a few months, and those opposing voices immediately disappeared.
Liu Jingyu did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Two years after becoming the head, just three months ago, Liu Jingyu finally succeeded in building his foundation. At the same time, the head's wife Wu Xiuyun "died of a serious illness."
On that day, Master Baopu, who had been away from the sect for more than two years, finally returned to Jinping Peak.
Baopu Taoist was in a state of disarray, his royal blue robes no longer recognizable as their original color, and his body was covered in wounds of varying sizes. It could be said that upon returning to Jinping Peak, Baopu Taoist was severely injured and nearly dead.
After Master Baopu returned to Jinping Peak, he ignored the greetings from Yuzhu and the others and rushed into Wen Ziqing's courtyard immediately.
It was on that day that Wen Ziqing finally understood why Master Baopu insisted on "accepting him as a disciple". It turned out that he was just a body that Master Baopu was going to take over.
"Huh!" Wen Ziqing let out a long sigh at this thought. Midnight was approaching, and the spirit of Taoist Baopu, suppressed by the Kongming Stone, would probably start clamoring again. Fortunately, Kongming had the situation under control. No matter how hard Taoist Baopu struggled, he wouldn't be able to escape Kongming's control.
Wen Ziqing returned to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and after assuming the posture for cultivation, he called out to Kong Ming in his sea of consciousness.
"What's going on? It's not time yet!" Kong Ming was a little dissatisfied. In the past few months, Kong Ming had consumed a lot of energy in order to help Wen Ziqing subdue the spirit of Baopu Taoist, and he was also a little angry.
"Kong Ming, I want to ask, is there any way to make the old man's soul dissipate faster?" Wen Ziqing didn't care about the dissatisfaction in Kong Ming's tone.
