Chapter 154: Although they are husband and wife, they are more like good buddies.
Upon its release, Qinglian Dan quickly sparked a buying frenzy in Lingji Trading Company. Some people discovered that Qinglian Dan also has a certain calming and refreshing effect when encountering illusions.
As a result, even more people rushed to buy Qinglian Dan, which also served as free advertising for Zhong Lingxin's "Lingji Trading Company".
Chen Xingyi was overjoyed. He took over Zhong Lingxin's business empire and, in just six months, expanded "Lingji Shops" into "Lingji Trading Company," opening branches in all the cultivation cities of the Qingyun Sect.
His next step is to expand the business of Lingji Trading Company. However, this expansion is not something he can decide on his own. It requires the Qingyun Sect to further develop and have more say in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
He had high hopes for the Qingyun Sect. The Qingyun Sect was now united and, under the leadership of Sect Master Lu, had withstood the commercial pressure from the Chen family and made the several cultivation cities even more prosperous.
Of course, he deserves credit for this.
No one understands the Chen family or their business strength better than him.
That was the foundation he laid back then.
Many of the managers he promoted back then have been dismissed or demoted by Chen Guibao over the years. With just a little contact, these people quickly come to him and bring a lot of Chen family secrets.
Outsiders praised Chen Guibao as a business genius. Under his leadership, the Chen family's business improved more and more, with more and more shops opening and revenue increasing.
Little did they know that the Chen family had been using the system he had established and the plans he had formulated all these years.
Chen Xingyi recommended all these people to Zhong Lingxin. For the time being, they were all kept as idle people, waiting to be put to use later.
Zhong Lingxin was extremely pleased. These people were not idlers; they were all people with real skills.
Taking advantage of the Chen family's close attention to the Qingyun Sect, Chen Xingyi secretly opened an inn in Lingyun City.
The inn was small and inconspicuous.
This is the first intelligence station that Chen Xingyi set up for Zhong Lingxin.
He knew that if Qingyun Sect wanted to return to the status of a top-tier sect, it had to overthrow Lingyun Sect. So, while everyone's attention was focused on Qingyun Sect, he quietly made his move.
Zhong Lingxin smiled happily after receiving the message.
Having a smart subordinate is great; you only need to express your ideas, and they can implement them for you.
After Chen Xingyi opened the inn, he didn't manage it anymore and handed it over to Huo Jun to run.
The intelligence personnel trained by Huo Jun have begun their duties.
Zhong Lingxin no longer interfered in business and intelligence matters, leaving them entirely to the two of them.
Her seclusion had reached a critical juncture.
Her cultivation level has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment; she only needs one more opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage.
Her alchemy skills have already reached the fifth rank.
With Uncle Xuanyuan repeatedly gazing at her with wide, dragon-like eyes, she was finally able to draw a top-grade fifth-rank talisman.
She studied array formations diligently, never daring to slack off in the slightest, until her master finally acknowledged her as a fifth-grade array formation master.
Despite Zhong Chun's repeated criticisms, her weapon crafting skills have reached the fifth rank.
She looked at her arms and legs and felt full of strength. She attributed all this strength to swinging the forging hammer and longed to swing it at Zhong Chun's head.
Damn it, these past few years have been a living hell. Everyone keeps pointing fingers at her, and everyone looks at her like she's an idiot.
She needs to vent, she needs to find a balance, she needs to take down people who are dumber than her, otherwise she won't know that she is still a smart person.
Uncle Xuan Yuan listened to her rambling and nodded in understanding. He handed her a brand new identity badge and then pushed her out of the Qingyun Sect.
Go find your balance!
Zhong Lingxin went to the market of Qingyun Sect, found a small inn, changed out of the Qingyun Sect disciple's robes, disguised herself as a male rogue cultivator, slowly strolled into Qingyun City, sat on the teleportation array, and went to Qingling City.
The city of Xianling was extremely lively. Even more lively was the fact that the Chen family had filed a lawsuit against the Qingyun Sect and Zhong Lingxin at the Law Enforcement Association.
We accuse Qingyun Sect and Zhong Lingxin of harboring Chen Xingyi, who is even more evil than heretical cultivators, and of being unworthy of being righteous sects and righteous cultivators. We demand that Qingyun Sect and Zhong Lingxin hand over Chen Xingyi to atone for the deaths of the cultivators.
Zhong Lingxin walked slowly down the main street of Qingling City, thinking about opening an inn or restaurant there.
Qingling City is so prosperous that news spreads too fast.
Ever since Venerable Qingyang fed Feng Yu a foul-smelling ball of food, Feng Yu has felt a headache whenever he hears the name Qingyun Sect.
He had absolutely no desire to deal with Qingyang Venerable Saint.
He showed no mercy to Qu Yao, his mount, and dismissed her from her post under a pretext, kicking her out of the Law Enforcement Association.
He was really scared.
He couldn't even imagine how many bad things Qu Yao had done behind his back, falsely conveying his orders!
He simply couldn't bring himself to be cruel to his daughter, who had become a mere ghost.
That was his only bloodline.
If he had a second one, he wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by Qu Yao.
Perhaps his enemies understood him best.
Suddenly, Venerable Qingyang sent him three multi-fruit fruits.
Without saying a word, Feng Yu ate one himself and gave one to each of the two female cultivators he liked, then went off to busy himself with his great undertaking of creating babies.
Heaven rewards his hard work.
Not long after, both female cultivators became pregnant with his children.
From then on, Feng Yu was filled with gratitude towards Qingyang Venerable Saint, and he no longer remembered being beaten to a pulp by him.
Now, upon hearing the news that the Chen family had sued the Qingyun Sect and Zhong Lingxin, he immediately informed Qingyang Zunsheng.
On the second day after Zhong Lingxin arrived in Qingling City, she received a message from her master.
Feng Yu received Qingyang Venerable Saint and Zhong Lingxin in his cave dwelling.
Yu Wuqing also rushed over.
Although she and Feng Yu were husband and wife, they were more like good buddies.
When Venerable Qingyang trapped the Feng family, Yu Wuqing was cultivating in a secret place of the Yu family.
In fact, she hadn't returned to the Feng family for hundreds of years.
This time, she heard that Venerable Qingyang had arrived, so she rushed over to see him and ask him for a favor.
She understood Qingyang Venerable Saint's strength better than Feng Yu.
She and Qingyang Zunsheng are friends.
Yu Wuqing was overjoyed when he saw Zhong Lingxin.
This child looks so much like her when she was young, and even lives a more unrestrained life than she did back then.
Because of her family, she received a great deal of cultivation resources. Similarly, when her family needed her to do something, she had to do it for them.
This is why she married Feng Yu, and also why she deliberately became friends with him.
All she needs to do is secure benefits for the family; everything else is unnecessary.
When Feng Yu saw Zhong Lingxin, it was as if he were seeing his Daoist partner giving him advice on how to get along on their wedding night.
He felt a little uncomfortable back then, but he held back in order not to strain the relationship between the two families.
Now, seeing Zhong Lingxin's vibrant appearance, he suddenly understood his Daoist partner's actions.
