He personally sent Lao Denuo to a vacant house, tied him up, and imprisoned him. He also ordered Liang Fa and Shi Daizi to lead several outer disciples to closely guard him. Then Yue Buqun took Ning Zhongze and Linghu Chong back to the main hall.

Halfway through, Linghu Chong couldn't help but said: "Master, this plan will certainly attract spies, but what if something unexpected happens to Zixia's magical skill?"

After hearing this, Yue Buqun felt that he should teach Linghu Chong more about other things, so as to prevent him from being too naive and being exploited by others, such as the Sword Sect.

So he took out the "Purple Cloud Magic" that he obtained from Laudno and threw it to Linghu Chong. He chuckled and said, "Do you think I would let that spy handle the real "Purple Cloud Magic"? Take a closer look."

Although Linghu Chong had never learned the "Zixia Magic Technique", he was Yue Buqun's disciple after all, and he still had some discerning ability. Therefore, he turned over the secret book in his hand and looked at it, and he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Isn't this the Zixia Magic Technique?"

Yue Buqun said: "Not only is it not the magical power of Zixia, but if others don't know how to distinguish it, they will go crazy if they practice it!"

Linghu Chong blurted out after hearing this: "This is too sinister."

"Huh?" Yue Buqun stopped and stared at Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong reacted and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "Master, I am saying that it is better to destroy this secret book. If someone who doesn't know it practices it by mistake, won't there be harm?"

"Practice Zixia Magic Skill secretly without my permission, and you deserve to suffer the consequences!" Yue Buqun snorted.

Ning Zhong saw that the atmosphere between the two was tense and said, "Senior brother, Chong'er also has good intentions. Just let him destroy this secret book."

"It's up to you." Yue Buqun said this to Linghu Chong first, and then said: "With your temper, how can I feel confident in passing on the position of head to you in the future, and how can I feel confident in promising Shan'er to you?"

You? Think carefully!"

After speaking, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

Ning Zhongze smiled and said to Linghu Chong: "Chong'er, your master has always been very optimistic about you, don't let him down."

Linghu Chong actually had no interest in being the leader, but he liked Yue Lingshan. Therefore, after hearing Yue Buqun's words, not only was he not worried, but he was also excited. He nodded heavily and said, "Disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"

Both of them had relatively simple tempers, but they didn't know that what Yue Buqun said before leaving was deliberately told to Linghu Chong, in order to make Linghu Chong stay with him honestly and not become a member of the Sword Sect.

After arriving in the hall, Yue Buqun explained to Su Yan and others how they went down the mountain to capture Lao Denuo and force the Songshan faction and others away.

At this time, Zhong Qingyang and Feng Buping were all present in the hall, and they did not make any comments on the matter.

Although this matter was planned by Su Yan and Yue Buqun, they were also aware of it.

Second, Feng Qingyang was instructed by Su Yan and had been secretly following Yue Buqun and Lao Denuo just in case, and witnessed what happened with his own eyes.

After hearing what Yue Buqun said, Su Yan said: "Now that Lu Bai and others have left, this matter is over. However, you still have a long way to go to restore the prestige of Huashan.

There are three things you have to do next. The first is to refine the Qi Accumulating Pill, the second is to recall the exiled fellow Sword Sect members, and the third is to make the current Huashan Sect disciples give up their previous prejudices and practice Sword Sect swordsmanship.

Once these three things are done, the strength of the Huashan Sect can be increased rapidly, so that it can compete with the Songshan Sect and even the Demon Sect."

After hearing these words, the seven Yue Buqun people in the hall immediately clasped their fists at the jade pendant and said, "We will obey the instructions of our ancestor!"

The next day, two people from Jianzong came down the mountain.

Feng Buping was going to persuade Ji Bumou, Qi Xuanwei to return to the Huashan sect, and Cheng Buyou was going to bring the three family members and children up the mountain.

As for Cong Buqi, he stayed in Huashan and taught swordsmanship to Liang Fa, Lu Dayou and other inner disciples of the Huashan sect.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong were jointly responsible for purchasing medicinal materials and refining the Qi-Yun Dan. From Yue Buqun's point of view, this was a truly important matter that could not be left to the people of the Sword Sect.

But then Yue Buqun discovered a very embarrassing problem.

The Huashan sect's money can't refine many Qi-accumulating pills.

Su Yan was attached to Yue Buqun's Zifu today and took this opportunity to learn about the financial situation of the Huashan Sect.

Just like the world where Wuji Dao is located, most of the martial arts sects here have their own industries.

The main industry of the Huashan Sect is farmland. In the past, when Huashan was at its peak, there were thousands of acres, but now there are only more than a thousand acres left.

More than a thousand acres sounds like a lot, but considering that it is on the border of Huashan Mountains, it is mostly mountainous land, and the real fertile land is less than a hundred acres.

The Huashan sect prides itself on being an upright sect and collects less rent from tenant farmers, so the income from this aspect is naturally not high.

In addition to the fields, the Huashan Sect also has a grain shop, a cloth shop, a blacksmith shop, and a grocery store in Huayin County at the northern foot of Huashan Mountain.

However, these four shops are not mainly for profit, but mainly for the convenience of supplying the daily necessities of the Huashan Sect disciples.

Therefore, from a financial perspective, the Huashan Sect is actually equivalent to a small landowner in feudal society.

Although most of the medicinal materials for refining the Qi-Yun Pill are ordinary medicinal materials, there are also a few rare ones, such as wild ginseng.

After Yue Buqun sent his disciples to split up to secretly investigate the prices of various medicinal materials for the Qi-Yun Dan, they found that with the current financial resources of the Huashan Sect, they could only purchase the medicinal materials for refining five furnaces of elixirs every year, and each furnace could produce more Qi-Yun Dan.

30 pieces.

Based on this calculation, it seems that 150 Qi Accumulating Pills can be obtained every year.

But don’t forget that refining elixirs involves losses and wasted elixirs. What’s more, the Huashan Sect is a novice in this area. A conservative estimate is that three out of five furnaces can produce elixirs, and each furnace can produce more than a dozen Qi-accumulating elixirs, which is good.

Already.

Based on this calculation, the Huashan Sect may only be able to refine forty or fifty Qi Accumulating Pills in the first year.

However, Qi Yun Dan is not a precious elixir used to assist martial arts practitioners to break through bottlenecks, but is used daily to increase true energy. It can be taken by warriors who have acquired the third level or even the eighth level of the day before the Zhoutian Consummation.

Although there are not many people in the Huashan Sect, there are about twenty people who can take the Qi Yun Dan.

Even if the Qi Accumulating Pill is treated as a treasure and occasionally awarded to a certain disciple, most of them will be taken by the masters, and each person will not be able to get a few pills.

Although the Qi Accumulating Pill is very effective, it is too slow to improve the Huashan Sect's strength when used in such a small amount.

Su Yan couldn't wait, and neither could Yue Buqun.

In the Zhengqi Hall, Yue Buqun frowned.

Ning Zhong advised: "Senior brother, even if you refine just a few batches of Qi Accumulating Pills, it will be of great help to our Huashan Sect.

Now with the guidance of the ancestor’s spiritual consciousness, the Sword Sect has returned to Huashan, everything will slowly get better, why should senior brother worry about this matter?”

Yue Buqun glanced at Ning Zhongze and found that there were some things he couldn't say clearly. He could only sigh: "Junior sister, as you said, I should finish the first thing that my ancestor told me."

Only then did Ning Zhongze realize that Yue Buqun was worried about this, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

She also frowned for a while and then said: "I still have some valuable jewelry there, why don't I sell it?"

Yue Buqun shook his head, "How much can you sell your jewelry for? What we need now is a lot of money. Besides, those jewelry of yours are all the thoughts that Master and Mistress left for you."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Su Yan knew that he had to give Yue Buqun some advice.

So he sent a message to the two of them: "There is no need to worry about money. I can teach you another way to turn stone into gold."

Turning stone into gold?

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong were surprised at first when they heard this, and then they were extremely happy.

Yue Buqun immediately bowed to the jade pendant and said, "Thank you, Master Patriarch!"

Seeing this, Su Yan felt a little strange.

By the way, this hypocrite didn't deliberately go to the Zhengqi Hall where his jade pendant is to complain and ask for help, right?

Su Yan was a little more wary of Yue Buqun, but he did not change his mind about the attack. He immediately sent a message: "Bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
