The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 849 - 273: My King, You Finally Left Seclusion! (6k)

Faced with the decision of Lu Yuanzhi and her sister, Zhou Qing was momentarily stunned, then immediately showed extreme joy.

This is wonderful!

If two Spirit Severing Realm experts could join the Taiqing Sect, it would be an incredible opportunity!

At that time, even the Sect Leader and the others would have to treat them as honored guests.

With such strong support, many past concerns would vanish into thin air.

"Are you sure?" Zhou Qing asked excitedly, coming back to his senses.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded and said: "Naturally. You saved my elder sister's life, which to me is like a rebirth, and this kindness must be repaid."

Zhou Qing was stunned but quickly calmed down, shaking his head with a wry smile: "Although I hope you can come to the Taiqing Sect, if it's just to repay kindness, there's really no need."

"Previously, Senior Jiu gifted me Profound Ice Marrow, and you also patiently taught Junior Sister Yaoyao. This friendship has already cleared any debts. If it's only because of a favor, I would find it hard to accept you joining Taiqing Sect."

Lu Yuanzhi gave a knowing smile, her eyes sincere: "We are not forced into this, but genuinely yearn for it. To us, the Taiqing Sect is a home, not a burden."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, his expression becoming serious: "What about Consort Chen? Once you step into the Spirit Severing Realm, the Imperial City will surely try hard to win you over. Wouldn't it be easy to help her regain her freedom then?"

Lu Yuanzhi's expression suddenly darkened, as if she had already made up her mind.

Then, with a heavy tone, she said: "In the Holy Martial Dynasty, nearly all Spirit Severing Realm cultivators have received favors from the Old Emperor's breakthrough formula."

"Or rather, they all sought help there and made a trade to advance."

"My elder sister and I have never been favored by them, nor do we owe them anything. So how do you think it would end if we wanted our third sister's freedom?"

Zhou Qing frowned and suddenly understood: "Consort Chen is the chip used to restrain you!"

Lu Yuanzhi nodded: "Exactly, so this matter cannot be rushed. Moreover, even if our third sister doesn't like the current Emperor, Xuanyuan Hao, Xuanyuan Muqian is still her own child and has been her hope for many years."

"If we rashly take away our third sister, the Xuanyuan Family would certainly use Mu Qian as leverage. At that time, our third sister would be caught in a dilemma again."

Zhou Qing sighed softly.

Sick today, in danger tomorrow, and the day after forced to marry someone she doesn't like.

If Consort Chen returns due to attachment, she will become another "Xuanyuan Muqian."

"Although she cannot act on her own now, at least she is well-fed and clothed with certain freedom. So for the time being, we will not fetch her nor reveal our cultivation level."

Lu Yuanzhi paused for a moment and continued: "And this academy, the dean also mentioned that it will not be long before it's dissolved."

Zhou Qing was taken aback, shocked: "Dissolved?"

Lu Yuanzhi sighed: "The dean once said that he created this academy on a whim, but his roots are ultimately not here."

Zhou Qing felt a stir in his heart, recalling that his second uncle once said that Dean Weng Yunqi was not from the Holy Martial Dynasty and seemed to have come here for healing.

Could it be that he's going back to his Cultivation Country?

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Zhou Qing earnestly and said: "Therefore, we chose Taiqing Sect not simply to repay kindness, but also because we have nowhere else to go."

"In the Taiqing Sect, we can both educate Yaoyao and share our Spirit Severing experiences with the Elders."

"Additionally, we will keep a low profile, never revealing our identities nor causing trouble for your sect. Is this acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing was already moved. He stepped back and respectfully paid his respects: "On behalf of the Taiqing Sect, I, Zhou Qing, warmly welcome you both to join!"

Lu Yuanzhi immediately showed a smile, stepped back, and returned the gesture solemnly: "Thank you! It is our sisters' honor to join the Taiqing Sect. We look forward to your guidance."

...

After staying at the academy for a short while, Zhou Qing bid farewell to Lin Daochen and Lu Yuanzhi and again boarded the flying ship to the border.

Looking at the academy buildings receding into the distance, Zhou Qing pondered for a while.

If the academy truly dissolves one day, the Taiqing Sect might become a new home for Master Lin.

But such an invitation is too abrupt. If brought up rashly, it would seem deliberate, so it might be better to await the right opportunity.

On the flying ship, Shen Yunzhou noticed the unconcealed smile on Zhou Qing's face and immediately approached.

Raising an eyebrow, he teased: "Oh, what's the good news? You're grinning so happily. Did you find a clue?"

Zhou Qing straightened his expression, shook his head, and said: "Don't guess wildly, just some amusing thoughts that's all."

"You're really strange; your senior sister hasn't been found yet, and you still have time to be happy." Shen Yunzhou smacked his lips, "However, this mindset is truly admirable."

Zhou Qing's face looked a bit embarrassed as he glanced at Jiang Pojun, who was steering the ship, and silently shook his head, swallowing back the words that were about to spill out.

He then stood up, gazing at the swiftly retreating mountains and rivers beneath the clouds, silently making plans.

"In five years, just wait for five years, and the Taiqing Sect will welcome two Spirit Severing guest elders. When facing dilemmas again, there will be no need to be so restricted as now."

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt a wave of exhilaration.

Of course, to strike while the iron is hot, one must also be strong oneself.

He must also put in more effort, striving to break through to the late stage of Divinity Transformation as soon as possible.

But every step in the Divinity Transformation Realm is a treacherous one, not only requiring a huge accumulation of spirit power but also the constant polishing and perfection of Realm.

"My Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown constitution makes my spirit power requirements for each breakthrough several times that of the same level. Relying solely on spirit stones and natural treasures is simply not enough."

Zhou Qing furrowed his brows, "Once absorption is saturated, I must wait for the spirit power to be completely refined before I can continue cultivating."

After a moment of thought, Zhou Qing's gaze sharpened: "It seems I have to rely on the Inscription Level Divine Technique recorded [Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal], directly refining others' Essence Spiritual Power."
