Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 361: Chapter 362: Be Careful in Everything

With Chu Xing Chen’s return, the backbone of the sect instantly shifted from Li Ying Ling to Chu Xing Chen.

Li Ying Ling also very straightforwardly threw all matters back to Chu Xing Chen.

She didn’t know how long she had been looking at these account ledgers. Now, just seeing numbers gave her quite a headache.

Anyway, under her efforts, the sect’s construction had moved toward stability. Now that everything was basically concluded and the most difficult period had passed, leaving behind some trivial matters—surely it was fine to hand these over to Master and take a break?

Chu Xing Chen seemed to understand Li Ying Ling’s recent hardships and gladly took over these affairs.

Chu Xing Chen didn’t repackage and dump this work onto the hardworking and never-slacking Li Xing Tian, nor did he pass it to the always-reliable Lin Luo Yu.

As for Cui Hao...

Chu Xing Chen didn’t want his sect’s construction to have Cui Hao prepare even more unique surprises for him at the end.

One San Dong with her opening roof was already enough. Better not add any more.

Currently, all matters were temporarily handled by Chu Xing Chen himself. Even Li Xing Tian had been given time off by Chu Xing Chen to rest properly.

However, this kid Li Xing Tian clearly had never experienced what leisure meant.

After pretending to bounce around with everyone for two days, he buried himself in his room and began cultivating furiously.

His approach was purely about cultivating with his life on the line.

As a master, Chu Xing Chen couldn’t exactly say—”Li Xing Tian, you’re not allowed to be this diligent. Rest properly and don’t cultivate, alright?”

Although Chu Xing Chen had taken on all the sect’s construction matters, there was actually very little he needed to do personally.

Basically, it was just signing documents.

Chen Bai Qing voluntarily became a capable little secretary. Many matters she submitted had already been processed and completed.

She handled matters maturely and very reliably. Chu Xing Chen didn’t know if she had learned from Li Ying Ling recently.

Or perhaps Chen Bai Qing had always been this clever.

Chu Xing Chen wanted to give Chen Bai Qing time off too. After all, besides handling sect matters, she had also been specifically responsible for managing his fifth disciple, Cui Hao.

But this time, Chen Bai Qing wasn’t as obedient as usual.

Instead, she revealed a wronged little expression. Her eyes seemed to speak, as if she felt Chu Xing Chen was rejecting her.

Faced with Chen Bai Qing showing such an expression for the first time, Chu Xing Chen naturally had no resistance and was completely won over.

Damn it!

What to do when the little cotton-padded jacket is too warm?

The title of Bewitching Heavenly Demoness was truly well-earned. Even Chu Xing Chen couldn’t hold out.

Chu Xing Chen could only accept this little secretary who had voluntarily delivered herself.

Besides Chen Bai Qing, Xie Ling Yu served as the second-in-command. Though she didn’t do much either, she accompanied Chu Xing Chen sitting in the administrative hall.

Xie Ling Yu was also quite satisfied with Chen Bai Qing’s design.

This wasn’t Chen Bai Qing’s blind guess. She had stayed at Tian Yan Sect before, so naturally she had seen the general style of Xie Ling Yu’s room.

Xie Ling Yu’s room design was rather simple, with very few decorations used.

Chen Bai Qing had imitated some of Tian Yan Sect’s style and also made fine adjustments to the room’s facilities and items, mainly to make them more convenient to use.

Although she understood that Xie Ling Yu would only stay briefly even if she came, Chen Bai Qing didn’t do a half-hearted job.

Her master had specially arranged this, so naturally Chen Bai Qing would handle it properly.

So in the administrative hall, most of the time Chu Xing Chen and Xie Ling Yu were chatting idly, then occasionally going to Wan Hua Ridge to stroll around.

And every now and then, participating in small activities organized by Li Ying Ling.

Time flowed backward, pushing everything back to how it was in Yu Zhou City.

But leisurely days always have an end.

Today, Chu Xing Chen couldn’t continue sitting leisurely.

Because Luo Yue had returned, and the spirit vein passage she guarded was about to be opened.

Besides Luo Yue, Bai Xuan Ling had also made a personal visit.

The construction of Wan Hua Ling’s sect grand formation also needed to be put on the agenda today.

——

By the sect’s water pool, at the stone table and chairs.

Bai Xuan Ling gently sipped the tea Chen Bai Qing had brewed, then looked at the small pool nearby.

She naturally understood this was probably imitating the Yu Zhou City pool.

Bai Xuan Ling didn’t tease Xie Ling Yu about staying at Wan Hua Ridge. After all, Ling Yu had grown up and should have her own choices.

One must make one’s own choices in life, just as the immortal path can only be climbed by oneself—outsiders cannot help.

Bai Xuan Ling gently put down her tea cup: ”You’re quite sentimental.”

Chu Xing Chen smiled in response: ”I’ve always thought being sentimental is a fine virtue.”

Bai Xuan Ling glanced sideways at Chu Xing Chen at these words, but didn’t answer. She gently set down her tea cup, her gaze sweeping across the area.

Everyone in the sect was now present. Even the outer disciple Zhou Ping was eating preserved fruits Chen Bai Qing had given him.

Zhang Miao Yu still wore that slightly nervous expression. It seemed Bai Xuan Ling’s legend still held quite some deterrent power.

This sect had more and more people now.

There was even a gate-keeping demonic beast at Qi Condensation stage, about to establish its foundation.

Bai Xuan Ling looked left and right, feeling this Qing She seemed to have something to her. But ultimately, it was too weak, and the cultivation period for demonic beasts was also very long.

Just look at Qing He and you’d understand. Although Qing He did slack off somewhat, the time spent in serious cultivation was also truly not short.

Plus with Tian Yan Sect’s resource cultivation, wasn’t she now at the Nascent Soul realm?

Flood dragons were naturally powerful, but their cultivation period was notoriously long.

Bai Xuan Ling simply treated this Qing She as something Chu Xing Chen was preparing for his next successor.

”Alright, let’s not chat idly.” Bai Xuan Ling stood up. ”I have matters to attend to later. This visit is squeezed in between busy times. Earlier, I gave you a list of materials needed for the grand formation. Has everything been prepared?”

”Naturally, everything is prepared.”

Chu Xing Chen nodded in understanding. The pills he refined were still being purchased by Bai Xuan Ling, though the supply to Tian Yan Sect was much less than before.

However, the quantity of pills Bai Xuan Ling requested continued to grow.

Undoubtedly, the pills Chu Xing Chen refined had gone from internal sales to export.

And they seemed to be in a stage of demand exceeding supply.

After all, besides healing and tonifying effects, the pills Chu Xing Chen refined naturally had their unique qualities.

That was, their effects were far superior to other pills—one pill could achieve several times the efficacy of ordinary pills.

Those were truly excellent medicines for emergencies.

Anyway, that was what Chu Xing Chen believed. Who knows how many people had survived thanks to the pills he refined.

As for other uses...

Chu Xing Chen felt there couldn’t possibly be other uses. After all, pills—what else could they be used for?

In short, through the pill-refining business, Chu Xing Chen was now earning quite a lot.

Adding to that Li Xing Tian and Li Ying Ling’s gains, it was also an extremely considerable sum.

However, the materials needed for this grand formation and the sect’s construction once again completely drained all the spirit stones that had been accumulated.

Now the sect had returned to the state of the original ruined temple—spirit stones were almost down to being counted individually.

Although Chu Xing Chen was somewhat sentimental, this kind of ”old times” of being broke to death was better not remembered.

The main issue was that the grand formation’s materials were expensive enough to make one’s heart ache.

But naturally, Chu Xing Chen wouldn’t cut corners in this most crucial place.

Protective things were naturally the more expensive the better, and the more powerful the effect, the better.

Bai Xuan Ling’s gaze turned to Luo Yue at the side:

”You go handle your matters, I’ll go handle mine.”

Bai Xuan Ling paused halfway, looking at Chu Xing Chen: ”You go with it. Contact me if there are any problems.”

She had come personally, besides the grand formation, with the core purpose of keeping an eye on Luo Yue.

That Bai Xuan Ling could live this long, besides being able to fight, naturally had other virtues.

Suspicion and being careful in everything.
