"are you awake?"

"Ah...where am I...?"

"The lonely city in Tianshan."

"A lonely city..."

"May I have your name."

"Lu Lingqiu, what about you?"

"Lin Teak."

…

"Why, there is no moon in this world."

"moon?"

"It's a beautiful treasure that only appears in the dark and can calm people down."

"Is it more beautiful than thousands of flowers?"

"More beautiful than thousands of flowers."

"so good."

…

A severe headache occurred, and Lu Lingqiu suddenly woke up from his sleep.

Countless memory fragments flashed through his mind, pieced together into fragmented pictures, and the spinning feeling rushed from all directions, making him feel as if he was deep in the sea of ​​clouds, or like catkins fluttering in the wind.

Tossing and turning, my thoughts were like a pool of stagnant water in the dark night, stagnant without any ripples.

Deep sorrow followed him like a shadow, and cold sweat flowed down his back.

Lu Lingqiu covered his head, with only pain on his face.

So sad.

Why, why is it so sad.

Who is she? What on earth is she...

"Owner?"

"Brother Lingqiu!"

In Room 11 with Yellow Characters on Jade Guifeng, Mu Qing and Xia Lianxing sat beside his bed at the same time, looking at Lu Lingqiu with worried expressions on their faces.

"Are you okay?"

Mu Qing stretched out her little hand to explore his forehead, but it was like a dragonfly touching water and then stopped at the touch: "Ah, it's so hot!"

"I'm fine."

Lu Lingqiu shook his head, trying to calm down the surge of sadness in his heart and try to calm down.

At this time, three hours had passed since he and his two women suppressed the elders of Lingyue.

Ever since Master Fanxin mentioned the name "Lin Youmu", he felt a huge discomfort in his body, just like the dizzy feeling that would occur when trying to recall memories related to the moon.

After enduring severe physical discomfort and returning to Jade Guifeng, he only took a short rest and immediately arranged the general direction of the Lingyue Sect's next development through the transmission of talismans, and briefly introduced the upcoming development to Fan Xin and others.

Lingyue is responsible for guiding the disciples who may be promoted to the Flower Palace as preparation spirit envoys in the future, and the guardian of the water spirit - Lan Yurou.

After doing this, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. Mu Qing and Xia Lianxing stayed by his side and never left.

Master Fanxin once asked him if he wanted to arrange for him to live in the best cave in Baiyu Peak, but he refused.

During the exchange with the leader, he learned that the Lingyue Sect was actually facing a lot of messes that it couldn't handle—

The depletion of Tianlun's spiritual veins, the declaration of war by the Yutian Sword Sect, the intervention of the Seven Kingdoms Immortal Alliance, the emptiness of the sect's spiritual vault...

Everything needs to be solved one by one. Since it has been decided to use Lingyue as the first connection point for the birth of Jinghua Palace, it must shoulder some responsibilities as the "Related Hidden Door" behind it——

That is to say, Lingyue cannot be allowed to cut off the inheritance.

From ancient times to the present, every secluded sect does not live in complete seclusion in a corner and does not care about worldly affairs.

The so-called "hidden" is just to gather the most precious resources and the most powerful power in the sect, concentrate on studying the way of heaven, and strive to get closer to the great way before other hidden sects. This race against time is actually a competition in practice.

It's a bit like technological competition between countries.

In order to understand the current real-time situation in the world of immortality, each hidden sect will contact a first-class sect as a "stronghold" to transport disciples.

This can ensure that even if the Hidden Sect remains dormant for hundreds of years, it will not be decoupled from the times, and there will be a steady stream of fresh blood for inheritance and iteration.

Therefore, choosing a "related sect" is very important for every hidden sect.

For example, the hidden sect--"Shennong Valley", which is famous for its alchemy skills, its associated sects must attach great importance to cultivating alchemy talents, so as to help their development.

Therefore, "Shennong Valley" chose Huanxi Medicine Sect, a super first-class sect that is one of the three leaders of the righteous path in the world, as its associated sect.

The leader of this sect, "Ancestor Songhe", is a master of alchemy. His cultivation has also reached the terrifying Nascent Soul stage, the Great Perfection, and he has become a god in half a step. The disciples he trains are completely in line with the talents needed by Shennong Valley.

Like the Mirror Flower Palace, in order to find a spiritual envoy to prepare, the sect it needs to be associated with must focus on cultivating outstanding female spiritual practitioners. On the Tiancang Continent, Lingyue is the best choice.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the division of sect levels is also very simple:

As long as their cultivation reaches the early stage of Nascent Soul, monks who want to create a sect can go to the "Seven Kingdoms Immortal Alliance" in Zhongzhou, and after paying a large amount of spiritual stones, apply for a "Sect Creation Token" and create a third-rate sect.

Correspondingly, the cultivation level of the leader of the second-rate sect needs to reach the middle stage of Yuanying, while the cultivation level of the leader of the first-rate sect needs to reach the late stage of Yuanying or even Dzogchen.

The Hidden Sect is not under the control of the Immortal Alliance.

In addition to reaching the pinnacle of research on a certain avenue, they only have one agreed-upon prerequisite.

——That is, the cultivation level of the sect leader must reach the stage of divine transformation or above.

If it cannot do these two things, it is not worthy of being called a hidden door.

Master Fanxin mentioned before: The Seven Kingdoms Immortal Alliance is the largest and most powerful force on the Tiancang Continent besides the Hidden Sect.

It is like a protective umbrella. As long as any sect pays the alliance fee, it can be protected unconditionally.

In order to protect themselves from the oppression of the big sects, small sects only need to pay tribute on time every year and hand over an extra amount of spiritual stones, and then they can enjoy the same security treatment as those of the wealthy and big sects. Once the annihilation of the sect occurs, the Immortal Alliance will

Envoys will be sent to judge good and evil. These envoys are called "immortal envoys", and they will "punish" the party they think is wrong.

In addition, the "immortal envoys" will also interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, and will force some elders from the alliance to be placed in various sects as their eyes and ears. If they refuse, they will be destroyed.

Lingyue's original guest, Elder Xiao He, was the messenger spy installed by Emperor Qin in Lingyue Sect under the wish of the Immortal Alliance.

"It's really troublesome."

Lu Lingqiu tried his best to sort out these extremely confusing thoughts and slowly sat up.

He was deeply troubled by how to run a sect as large as Lingyue.

With his character, he likes to live an unfettered and free life.

Arrangement and protection of the spirit envoys in Jinghua Palace has already made him very tired. So the best way to deal with it is to choose a reliable spirit envoy to stay here permanently.

——And Lan Yurou, who is on a long vacation, is the perfect candidate.

"Sorry Shui Lian, your vacation... can be made up for later."

Lu Lingqiu murmured and sent the colorful spiritual crane out the door, which recorded the new task Shui Lian was about to face, as well as the overall situation of Ling Yue.

"Drink some water, Master." Xia Lianxing brought a cup of light and mild fragrant tea and handed it to him.

"Yes." Lu Lingqiu reached out to take the tea cup and drank the warm tea liquid in one gulp.

A warm current passed through his throat, which made the sadness in his heart fade a little. The two women looked at each other, and both saw a trace of confusion and doubt in the other's eyes.

"Brother Lingqiu, did you... have a nightmare just now?" Mu Qing asked softly.

"Rather than a nightmare, it's more like seeing some memories that I can no longer recall."

Lu Lingqiu gently placed the teacup on the shelf aside and sighed slightly:

"Forgetting is really a kind of torture that time inflicts on life."
