When the sky gradually darkened, it seemed to have been burned by a fire. The red clouds became darker and darker, and the green mountains in the daytime were also dyed with a thick ink-like luster.

The spiritual mountain that Han Yue and the others had chosen was almost cleaned up. The white mountain-protecting formation shimmered faintly in the night like a bright pearl embedded in the mountains, ravishing and dazzling.

“That’s all for today. From now on, this place will be the address of our Tai Qing Sect.”

After Han Yue surveyed Qixia mountain range, she divided a small area to be used as the spiritual mountain. She only set up a simple mountain-protecting formation and drove away the demonic beasts inside.

Establishing a sect was a major event. They could not complete it overnight. Today was only the beginning, and there was still a long way to go. Moreover, there was nothing in the sect. It was only a shell now.

It could be said that the road of cultivation was long and far.

“All of you here will be the senior figures of Tai Qing Sect in the future. In the future, we will grow together and carry forward Tai Qing Sect. There will be no lack of benefits for you till then.”

Han Yue’s tone was flat, without any fluctuations. Perhaps her personality was just so cold that only spirit stones could move her. However, just her face alone was quite sufficient to attract everyone.

“I will obey sect master’s instructions.”

Han Yue said profoundly, “At the beginning of the sect, the contribution points of each elder are calculated according to the degree of individual contribution. Please do your best and work together to carry forward our Tai Qing Sect.”

“Don’t worry, sect master,” the crowd replied in unison.

After Han Yue left, almost all the elders left together. Ye Xuan seemed to have been forgotten. He was alone, looking out of place.

However, he didn’t care about this kind of thing. This group of people deliberately wanted to isolate him. He didn’t have the mood to fawn over them since he was given the cold shoulder.

Looking at Ye Xuan’s back as he left, everyone looked at each other, “What do you all think of the sect master’s words just now?”

Xie Yixuan’s eyes were cold, “When the time comes, everyone must take something good out. Don’t let others look down on us.”

Everyone knew that he had an ulterior motive. They immediately revealed a tacit smile, “Don’t worry, Elder Xie. This time, we’ll definitely bring out all the good things we have.”

At that time, Ye Xuan would completely lose his face at the opening ceremony and get out of Tai Qing Sect.

Qixia mountain range had been particularly lively these few days. The elders who had money contributed money; those who had the power contributed power; and those who both had no money and power went out to recruit disciples. They had busy days and it could be said that no one was idle.

However, there was only one person who appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and that person was Ye Xuan.

Xie Yixuan looked at the few people who were walking towards him. They had bronze skin and were dressed in coarse short-sleeved shirts. They were carrying a carrying pole that was covered with black cloth. He did not know what was inside. They did not look like disciples of Tai Qing Sect, but more like porters.

“What are you guys doing?”

“It’s your sect’s Elder Ye who asked me to send something over,” the man in the lead said.

What was Ye Xuan up to this time?

Xie Yixuan frowned slightly, “Send something? How come I didn’t know about this?”

The porter smiled, revealing his white teeth, “We don’t know either. We’re just following the orders.”

Under the scorching sun, the porters were sweating profusely and smelled. Xie Yixuan covered his nose and took a few steps back, with a look of disgust on his face. He had wanted to see what was in the load, but he lost the mood.

“Alright. Hurry up and leave!”

When he saw the other elders, he couldn’t help but complain, “What’s this Ye Xuan doing? It’s fine if he doesn’t do anything, but now he’s even hiring a porter. What’s wrong with him? Does he want to add bricks and tiles to our Tai Qing Sect?”

The second elder was also speechless, “That’s right. These few days, there were suddenly a lot of strange faces around me. I was puzzled initially, but later I found out that he is the one making a mess.”

“I think he’s just here to make things worse. What can these porters do?”

Everyone chimed in one after another, their words were all against Ye Xuan.

“Sect master, you have to be the judge. This kid is obviously trying to be mysterious and enjoy the fruits of our labor.”

Han Yue didn’t care much about this. With Ye Xuan’s five hundred thousand spirit stones, she didn’t care if he didn’t do anything. However, she still needed to appease the elders.

“Everyone has worked hard. I will remember everyone’s contribution. As for Elder Ye’s matter, everyone can turn a blind eye to it. After all, he has spent so many spirit stones.”

After saying a few more words of encouragement, Han Yue found an excuse to leave.

“Sect master is too biased. That kid only spent slightly more spirit stones than us. What’s so good about him?”

No one dared to blame Han Yue. However, they were even more dissatisfied with Ye Xuan. Xie Yixuan’s expression was not too good, “One day, the sect master will know that the kid is useless.”

“By the way, do you know what’s on the carrier’s back?” someone asked.

The third elder didn’t think much of it, “I don’t think they’re of anything good.”

The group of porters were slovenly dressed, and even their carrying poles were dirty. These elders, who claimed to be of noble status and condescending, were in no mood to check on those things.

“Everyone, don’t be angry. When the sect’s grand opening ceremony comes and the sect master sees our gifts, she will naturally be disappointed in that kid. At that time, we’ll be able to vent our anger.”

With this thought in mind, everyone became more and more expectant. Soon, it was the time for the sect opening ceremony.

It was reasonable to invite other sects to attend the ceremony. However, most of the buildings in Tai Qing Sect had not been repaired except for the main hall. Moreover, they were not familiar with the surrounding sects.

Therefore, no outsiders were invited to this ceremony. Only the disciples and elders of Tai Qing Sect were invited.

Even so, the number of people present was not small. It was at least the size of a small sect.
