Chapter 108 Crafting Hall
Both Long Ming and Mu Qinglian were stunned when they heard Xia Yuqing. They though that she would at least snarl at Long Ming for his shit joke.
But to think she didn't say anything. Mu Qinglian gasped as she looked at Long Ming and then at Xia Yuqing.
' Wait...Master and Long Ming...they couldn't be... No, No! That's not right! That's impossible!'
Mu Qinglian shook her head hurriedly as she looked at Long Ming.
Long Ming was also stunned when he heard Xia Yuqing. " Master, I was just just joking. However, If I feel any problem regarding my cultivation, I will definitely ask for your help."
" You better." Xia Yuqing looked at him. " Don't think it's good to do everything by yourself. If you are a disciple of this sect, the sect is also your house."
Long Ming felt a strange warmness in his heart when he heard that. He nodded as he suddenly thought about something.
" Master, If you agree, I wish to recruit some some disciples and make a hall for treasure cloth crafting."
Xia Yuqing raised her brows when she heard that. " You wish to teach the disciples the art of treasure cloth crafting?"
" Yes."
" It's not that I can't allow you for this." Xia Yuqing spoke. " However, It's avery tedious thing to do."
" Five hundred years ago, Our sect used to have a Crafting Hall. However, The disciples were simply unable to comprehend it anything after the last elder of Crafting Hall passing away."
" Elder Shi took the mantle and tried to run the Crafting Hall. But, the disciples felt it was like waste of time and resources and took leave from it."
Long Ming was startled when he heard that. " So, the disciples couldn't comprehend any teachings?"
" Precisely." Xia Yuqing nodded. " Are you sure you want to reopen it?"
Long Ming didn't doubt regarding his ability to teach. After all, His supreme comprehension was simply outrageous.
Not to mention, his Divine Tailor profession and the techniques and notes of Empress Winter Song, he was confident to build a strong hall.
Xia Yuqing was surprised to see Long Ming was still adamant. " Alright, You can do it. But just take note that disciples must also have their time to cultivate."
" As you say, Master."
Mu Qinglian and Mu Qinglian nodded as they bowed and left the Desolate Winter Hall. Xia Yuqing sighed when she saw Long Ming leaving.
' Haaah, Sometimes I think why Long Ming acts like this.' Xia Yuqing rubbed her forehead. ' Mastering all of our sect technique yet practicing none, What is his plan?'
' Strange... Why am I thinking about him?'
Meanwhile, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian flew together as Mu Qinglian was riding a flying sword.
" Why do you decide to handle the Crafting Hall again?"
Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he spoke. " I realized that it got a huge business prospect. I mean, we can't forge powerful armor. However, Don't underestimate the power of fashion."
" Did you forget how people became mad when I released the four cosplaying dress?" Long Ming grinned. " Clothes and ornaments have always been an attraction for women. They are our targeted customers. If we capture them, we can just wait for the money to roll into the sect."
" You are really thoughtful." Mu Qinglian replied as she looked at her. " Looking at you now, You aren't looking weak and feeble as before."
" When did I look weak and feeble?" Long Ming coughed. " That was a mere act, alright?"
Mu Qinglian's eyes narrowed, making Long Ming's heart chill. " So, it was an act? You feigned weakness so I could take into the sect? My...It looks like you have some ulterior motive after all."
Long Ming hurriedly shook his head." Th-That's not it, Senior Sister! I was actually weak back then."
" Which I should take as truth?" Mu Qinglian hummed. " That you were acting or you were weak."
" Ahem, Let me tell you the truth." Long Ming's face turned serious. " I was actually a powerful cultivator. But, due to some reasons, I lost my cultivation and became a mortal. That's when I got discovered by you."
" Is that so?" Mu Qinglian narrowed her eyes. But when she remembered how she heard Long Ming's cultivation was at True Core Formation Realm yet he killed Mo Zhu like a fly, she thought his explanation might be feasible.
" Anyway, I will keep an eye on you." Mu Qinglian spoke. " I must oversee your cultivation and ensure you aren't falling behind."
" I am not a little kid, Senior Sister." Long Ming grumbled.
" What? Looks like you are liking the other sisters more, hm?" Mu Qinglian chuckled. But an icy sharpness hid under her words, giving Long Ming goosebumps.
Suddenly, a sharp sword intent rose as a new person appeared before them.
" Brother Long, Here you are."
" Sister Ming!"
Long Ming was surprised to see Ming Yuexin here. Mu Qinglian's expression turned stiff when she saw Ming Yuexin.
" I wanted to meet you when you came back. However, you got busy so I couldn't meet you." Ming Yuxin grinned. " Well, I must congratulate you for getting second place in Wine Gather. Now, I regret not going with you."
Long Ming nodded. " The Purple Crystal Pavilion might be useful to you, Sister Ming. However, your own sword comprehension is good, so, It's not really a big of a loss."
Mu Qinglian sighed when she saw Long Ming and Ming Yuexin talking happily.
" Sister Ming, Sect Master asked me to inform you something." Mu Qinglian spoke as she looked at Ming Yuexin.
" Yes, Sister Mu?"
" Come with me. We will discuss somewhere else."
" Wait...!!"
Before Ming Yuexin could say anything, Mu Qinglian held her and flew away. Long Ming became speechless when he saw that.
[ Ding! You received 1000 AP from Ming Yuexin]
[ Ding! You received 200 AP from Mu QInglian]
Long Ming shook his head as he flew toward the disciple plaza. He realized that his inventory almost got jumbled with random treasures he got from all the systems. So, he decided to check which he is going to keep and which he is going to sell or use for Four Seasons Valley.

" Hey, Why did they summoned us?"
" I heard Senior Brother Long Ming is going to give us a lecture."
" What? You mean that Long Ming?"
" Hehe, I've never seen him, but I heard he is pretty handsome."
Suddenly, all the girls became silent when they saw a figure in the sky. Long Ming landed on his feet as he retracted his Storm Wind Wings.
Seeing Long Ming's appearance, everyone became stunned as they looked at him with gaze filled with awe and admiration.
" Haha, Greetings, Junior Sisters. I am Long Ming, the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming gave a bright smile as he cupped his fist.
" Ahhh!"
" So handsome!"
" Heavens! Am I seeing right?"
Long Ming's ears twitched when he heard that. Then, all the girls bowed as they looked at Long Ming.
" Greetings, Senior Brother Long."
Long Ming noticed Chu Li, whom he accompanied to the Wine Gathering, the suspected disciple with a hidden physique.
" Alright, Since you guys are Outer Sect Disciples, It's my duty to guide you throughout your cultivation path." Long Ming's voice was cool and composed.
" Let me ask you the first question." Long Ming looked at the girls. " Who among you thinks that your cultivation aptitude is average?"
Suddenly, the area turned silent as the girls looked at each other. Is it some sort of test? Who will admit their shortcomings in the open? n/.Ovεlb1n
However, Long Ming saw Chu Li raising her hands as she walked to the side. "My...My cultivation has been stagnated for a while. I... I think my apitude is pretty average."
Long Ming nodded as he looked at others. He could see the disdain in other girls' eyes as they looked at Chu Li.
" So, Aside from Chu Li, everyone thinks that their cultivation aptitude is good, hm?" Long Ming looked at them with a smile.
" Then, Let's have a small test."
Long Ming's spiritual qi swirled as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes opened. " Please withstand under my spiritual pressure for twenty seconds."
*BOOM*
Suddenly, all the Outer Disciples felt a strange suffocation as Long Ming's spiritual qi was like a mountain weighing on their souls. All of them clutched their heads, the suffocation and the pain from their soul driving them insane.
*PLOP PLOP PLOP*
Almost half of them got on their knees as they couldn't withstand Long Ming's spiritual qi. The moment they fell down, the spiritual pressure vanished.
When twenty seconds of time ended, Long Ming saw barely ? of the original amount was standing.
" Huh? I thought other than Chu Li, everyone's talent was great." Long Ming laughed. " If you don't address your own weakness, how am I going to help you to overcome it?"
" Since you guys think you are talented, I have nothing much to say."
Then, he turned and looked at Chu Li. " As for you, I will personally teach you. Alright?"
" Huh? Me?"
Chu Li was stunned when she heard Long Ming. She never thought Long Ming would make such a strange decision.
" Alright, I will say two things." Long Ming looked at them as his eyes turned serious. " Either, Be honest and follow my words. Else, Don't attend my lectures. I won't mind if you choose the second option."
" Other than that, I am opening the Crafting Hall again. I will be also teaching you the art of crafting treasure clothes."
" If you guys are interested, You can join me." Long Ming looked at them.
This time, no one dared to make any fuss as they nodded obediently.
" Alright, So today... We will talk about the Palace Foundation of Violet Palace Expansion Realm."
