It was the younger generation who didn’t know better.

During this period, the Liuguang Sect was exceptionally lively.

As Zhong Qing brought back the people from Tianshan, his Disciples continuously took in more Disciples, and the entire Liuguang Sect was filled with a bustling atmosphere.

When Mu Changchun stepped into the Sect again, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He originally thought that conquering a Sect in such a short time was already a remarkable achievement!

But it wasn't until he toured the Sect that he realized how limited his perception was.

Along the way, he encountered several Pseudo-immortal Realm powerhouses!

Emperor Realm powerhouses were even more common!

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened?

He was somewhat bewildered.

After being away for a while and returning, the Sect had changed so much that he almost didn't recognize it.

When did the Liuguang Sect become so powerful!

It was a long time later that he slowly came back to his senses.

He guessed that this must be his Master's doing.

Only his Master had the ability to bring about such earth-shattering changes to the Liuguang Sect in such a short period.

Upon realizing this, Mu Changchun's heart, instead, felt no ripples.

With his Master's unfathomable abilities, achieving this was simply not surprising.

After settling Luo Guan, the Disciple he had taken in on this trip, he turned to Liu Nian and Ling Yueer and invited them.

"Please, both of you!"

"Master is on Fuyun Ridge; I will take you to see him now."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Liu Nian took a deep breath and cupped his hands in thanks.

For some reason, some of the people here gave him a sense of déjà vu.

A moment later, he suddenly remembered.

Weren't some of these people the same group from Tianshan earlier?

Could it be that this Zhong Qing was also a Disciple of the senior they wanted to meet?

He remained calm and followed Mu Changchun with Ling Yueer.

On the other side!

Zhong Qing was on a large stone outside Fuyun Courtyard, enjoying the sunset!

He was in a very good mood.

For him, the Disciples he had taken in this time had very good cultivation realms!

Putting everything else aside, as long as that group of Emperor Realm Disciples underwent a tribulation together, he didn't believe that thousands of Emperor powerhouses couldn't push his cultivation to the Emperor Realm.

What he needed to do now was wait!

Wait for Crimson Luan to compile all the Disciple names, then he would help them improve their strength, and then just wait for this wave of cultivation to return.

Thinking of the new functions the system would unlock after the Emperor Realm, Zhong Qing was still somewhat looking forward to it.

He took a delightful sip of wine!

Of course, deep down, there was inevitably a slight regret.

If there was one flaw in this Tianshan Disciple recruitment, it was failing to bring that Four-turn Pseudo-Immortal under his command.

Just as Zhong Qing was thinking this, several figures flew from above the clouds.

It was Mu Changchun, Liu Nian, and Ling Yueer.

The three of them were very fast, reaching the outside of Fuyun Courtyard in a few breaths.

Mu Changchun immediately knelt and bowed to Zhong Qing.

"Disciple Mu Changchun greets Master!"

"No need for formalities, rise!"

Zhong Qing waved his hand, his gaze turning to Liu Nian and Ling Yueer beside him.

He was somewhat surprised!

"Didn't you two leave? This is..."

Liu Nian and Ling Yueer, who were behind Mu Changchun, were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Earlier, they were still guessing what kind of existence this senior, who could give away an Immortal Artifact, truly was?

However, they never expected that this person was Zhong Qing!

Liu Nian's eyes were filled with endless astonishment.

An endless surge rose in his heart.

It was only then that he realized that the other party was indeed qualified to take him as a Disciple.

At that time, he had felt that Zhong Qing's suggestion was an offense to him.

But now, it seemed that he was the one who had offended first.

Could someone who could bestow Immortal Artifacts upon his Disciples be recruited by their Nine Clouds Sect?

He had repeatedly entertained the idea of recruiting the other party.

If it were a powerful expert with a more volatile temper, they might have immediately turned hostile and killed him the moment he made the suggestion!

Thinking of such a situation, Liu Nian couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Ling Yueer, beside him, was also filled with boundless shock at this moment.

Her small mouth was open, and her expression held an indescribable surprise.

Earlier, she hadn't understood why Zhong Qing acted so recklessly.

But now, she finally understood!

It turned out that the other party truly had the strength to deal with all crises.

Because possessing an Immortal Artifact was already a symbol of strength.

She thought of her previous idea, wanting to help the other party escape danger when he fell into crisis.

If even such a person couldn't handle a situation, perhaps the entire Nine Clouds Sect stepping forward wouldn't change anything!

It could be said that at this moment, Zhong Qing's status in her heart had been elevated to the same height as the colossal Nine Clouds Sect.

The reason for this thought was simply that the act of giving an Immortal Artifact to a Disciple was too astonishing.

Even the Nine Clouds Sect did not have such a grand gesture.

On the other side!

Mu Changchun looked at the two who were frozen in place, then looked at Zhong Qing.

"Master, you... know each other?"

These words pulled Liu Nian's thoughts back to reality.

He looked at Zhong Qing, forcefully suppressing the shock and trembling in his heart.

After cupping his hands and bowing, he said with a hint of apprehension: "My previous actions, Liu Nian, were very presumptuous. I hope senior will forgive me."

Zhong Qing was a little puzzled!

This guy's attitude wasn't like this before.

But he just glanced at Mu Changchun, and he had some guesses in his heart about the reason for the drastic change in the other party's attitude.

"Why are you two here?"

Of course, he wouldn't take such a small matter to heart.

Instead, he directly asked about their purpose.

Mu Changchun said from the side: "Master, please allow me to report!"

"This Disciple was using an Immortal Artifact to take a Three Tribulation Emperor as a Disciple when these two happened to witness it."

"They saw that the Immortal Artifact in this Disciple's hand had the ability to bring the dead back to life, so this fellow Daoist wanted to borrow the Immortal Artifact from this Disciple to save his critically injured only son."

"This Disciple saw that he was not bullying the weak and spoke sincerely, so I couldn't help but feel compassion."

"But an Immortal Artifact is an extremely important item; this Disciple would never dare to make decisions on my own."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to bring them back to ask for Master's instructions!"

He recounted the whole story to Zhong Qing.

And as Mu Changchun's words fell!

Liu Nian immediately bowed, then slowly knelt down.

"Previously, this junior was ignorant and offended senior!"

"I hope senior will be merciful and lend this junior the Immortal Artifact for a use."

"As long as senior agrees, no matter what conditions senior proposes, I am willing to accept them."

It was clear that for his only son, he had completely given up everything!

Even if Zhong Qing asked him to work like an ox or a horse, to be a slave or a servant, he would not refuse.

And when Zhong Qing saw this, he was also somewhat surprised.

They say the word 'fate' is the most wondrous.

Earlier, he had just felt a little regretful that a Four-turn Pseudo-Immortal Disciple had slipped away.

And now, a Disciple had come knocking on his door himself!
