93: The third move

The Internal Affairs Hall Master had many matters to attend to; after giving all the necessary instructions, he took his leave.

Zhang Qingxiao entered the Immortal Cave again, walked around, and grew more satisfied the more he looked.

This place was far better than the courtyards allocated to Outer Sect Disciples.

Not only was the outer courtyard spacious, but the buildings also appeared much more impressive.

There were three courtyards in total; the front and middle courtyards were mainly for resting, receiving guests, and housing servants and maids.

The rooms were fully furnished, so there was no need to purchase anything new.

At the very back, a large space had been carved out directly into the mountain for the purpose of Cultivate.

The cultivation Immortal Cave was located right next to the Spiritual Vein, where the Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant.

In addition to this, next to the cultivation Immortal Cave, there were dedicated rooms for Alchemy, talisman making, and Artifact Refining Room.

After seeing the situation here, Zhang Qingxiao returned to Xiaoyao City and brought Zhou Yun, Liang Qiaoer, and Li Wanqing to the new Immortal Cave from their original residence.

"Husband, is this where we will live from now on?"

It was Zhou Yun's first time in the area where Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator lived, and everything felt very novel to her.

After entering the Immortal Cave, she was even more captivated by the vast courtyard and the dense Spiritual Qi.

"Yes, we will all live here from now on."

"Cultivating in a place with such abundant Spiritual Qi will allow for faster Realm Breakthrough." Zhang Qingxiao said with a smile.

"Husband, this place is very close to my grandfather's Immortal Cave, so we can look out for each other in the future." Li Wanqing also said.

She was more knowledgeable than Zhou Yun; she had often visited her grandfather's Immortal Cave before and was quite familiar with this area.

"It seems I really do have a connection with the Li Family."

Zhang Qingxiao hadn't actually chosen this place because a Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator was nearby.

He chose it mainly because the location was excellent, offering a view of the entire Xiaoyao City, and it had the most abundant Spiritual Qi among the remaining Immortal Caves of the Xiaoyao Sect.

After taking everyone on a tour of the entire Immortal Cave, they began to unpack the items they had brought.

He was not short on Spirit Stone now, and between them, they had seven or eight Storage Pouch, all of which were thirty-cubic-meter Storage Pouch; all valuable items were kept inside them.

As for the furniture purchased for the courtyard in Xiaoyao City, Zhang Qingxiao did not bring it over.

Packing up was quite easy.

"Husband, shouldn't we recruit a few servants and maids?"

"Such a large courtyard will take a lot of time to clean."

"We can't let Wanqing and Liang Qiaoer clean the rooms with me every day..."

After packing away the common items they brought, Zhou Yun pulled Zhang Qingxiao aside and whispered.

Before coming, she didn't know the Immortal Cave would be this large and hadn't thought about these issues.

After walking around with Zhang Qingxiao, she realized it was truly a bit too large.

Even if she had Li Wanqing and Liang Qiaoer help her clean using spells, it would still take half a day.

She personally didn't mind, but Li Wanqing and Liang Qiaoer were different.

Both women had good talent for Cultivate and had hopes of achieving Foundation Establishment; if they wasted their time on this, it would definitely delay their Cultivate.

"It was my oversight. I will go to Xiaoyao City in a moment to bring back some maids and servants."

Zhang Qingxiao didn't usually clean rooms himself, so he hadn't really considered this issue.

Although they were Cultivators and could use spells to clean, such a large place would still take a significant amount of time, which was both a waste of time for Cultivate and very troublesome.

"Brother Fellow cultivator Zhang, we also need to recruit two or three Cultivators who know how to plant Spiritual Grain and medicinal herbs."

"The Spiritual Qi here is much denser than where we lived as Outer Sect Disciples, so we can plant some medicinal herbs needed for refining Medicinal Pill for Foundation Establishment Cultivator." Liang Qiaoer had also heard the conversation between Zhang Qingxiao and Zhou Yun and hurriedly added.

When they lived in the Outer Sect Disciple residential area, she had planted some medicinal herbs.

It was only after they moved to Xiaoyao City that she stopped planting.

Although the Spiritual Qi in the cultivation room in Xiaoyao City was decent, the Spiritual Qi in the courtyard was much worse.

Even if she planted medicinal herbs, they wouldn't grow well, so to avoid delaying her own Cultivate and Alchemy, Liang Qiaoer had given up on planting.

The Immortal Cave of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, however, was completely different; the courtyard was very large, and the Spiritual Qi was very abundant, so it would be a waste not to plant medicinal herbs and Spiritual Grain.

"It is indeed possible to plant some Spiritual Grain and medicinal herbs."

"Then I will recruit two or three Cultivators who know how to plant."

Zhang Qingxiao looked at the empty courtyard and also felt it was a waste to leave it empty.

After saying this, he turned and left the Immortal Cave, arriving at the Xiaoyao Sect to find Luo Fei.

Whether recruiting maids or servants, it required Cultivators who could be trusted.

"Elder Zhang, maids and servants are easy to handle, but Cultivators who know how to plant are a bit troublesome."

"Under normal circumstances, they are unwilling to sign lifetime contracts."

"I can only try my best to help Elder Zhang look for them."

After hearing Zhang Qingxiao's request, Luo Fei said with some difficulty.

Cultivators who knew how to plant could accept planting tasks from the Sect and obtain a fair amount of Sect contribution points.

Few Cultivators were willing to sign a slave contract.

Even if Zhang Qingxiao was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was still the same.

After all, once a slave contract was signed, one would have absolutely no freedom.

It was fine if they met a kind master, but if they met a master with a short temper and a bad attitude, they might even fear for their lives at any moment.

It was precisely because of this that these Cultivators with specialized skills rarely signed slave contracts.

"It doesn't matter; Cultivators who know how to plant don't necessarily have to sign a slave contract."

"But they must be Cultivators who can be trusted."

Zhang Qingxiao also knew Luo Fei's difficulty and did not make things hard for him.

"If that's the case, then it's simple."

"I will arrange for my subordinates to send over some maids and servants now."

Luo Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, and after speaking, he quickly used a Sound Transmission Talisman to give a few instructions.

Soon, his subordinates brought over twenty or so Cultivators at the first or second level of Qi Refining.

Zhang Qingxiao quickly selected five maids who looked decent and were around twenty years old from among these Cultivators.

As for the servants, he wasn't as picky and directly chose five kind-looking young Cultivators.

"Elder Zhang, there is something I need to discuss with you privately."

Seeing that Zhang Qingxiao had chosen the servants and maids, Luo Fei spoke up.

"You all wait here for me for a moment."

After saying this to the five maids and five servants he had selected, Zhang Qingxiao said to Luo Fei: "Alright, let's go to your study."

After saying this, he followed Luo Fei to the study.

"Elder Zhang, recently, the Wu Family Cultivators have been secretly contacting those former Chang Sheng Sect Utility Disciples that we cooperate with."

"They are likely trying to steal our business. How do you think we should handle this matter?"

Luo Fei had only discovered this today; he had originally wanted to let Lin Ying investigate the situation in detail before reporting to Zhang Qingxiao.

Since Zhang Qingxiao happened to be there, he brought it up in advance.
