Sun Yanwan was quite moved by the education given by his senior brother. In the world before he traveled through time, people like Zhang Qingxi were almost extinct.

Personally, he still liked this senior brother very much, even though the combined age of his two lifetimes was actually older than Zhang Qingxi. He said sincerely, "Junior brother, I'm grateful for your guidance."

Although Zhang Qingxi was a square-minded person, he wasn't exactly stuffy. He followed Sun Yanwan's advice and went to a clothing store to order three sets of Taoist robes and a matching set of shoes. Sun Yanwan also bought three sets of bedding. The robes were custom-made and would take several days to pick up, but the bedding was readily available that same day. Living in the mountains was quite cold, and he now missed the air-conditioned homes of the city, and even the "artifacts" like sleeping bags.

The two brothers were both martial artists and were much stronger than ordinary teenagers. They didn't need to deliver the bedding to the delivery point and just carried it back directly.

The two returned to the temple, each collected their luggage, and went to the tidied courtyard behind Taiyi Temple. Behind this courtyard was a mountain, and to the south was a platform more than two feet high. On this platform were more than ten blue brick and tile houses, probably to prevent moisture or flooding from the mountain stream. There was a large open space in the courtyard.

It has been newly renovated and the traces are still there. It is much more spacious and brighter than the storage room.

Zhang Qingxi said, "Junior brother, when we came to Taiyi Temple, there was only one relatively intact house in this courtyard, with a leak-proof roof and seamless walls. Master used to live there alone. He lived in the room at the eastern end. I chose the one next to Master. You can pick whichever one you like."

Sun Yanwan said yes repeatedly and chose a room on the west side.

This house has an extra window, a door and two windows, making it brighter than other houses. Now it is empty and has no furniture.

Sun Yanwan put the bedding on the ground first, and then went to find the eldest brother. The two of them first cleaned up Zhang Yuanqiao's room, swept the floor, wiped the doors and windows, and laid out the newly bought bedding.

Not long after, the carpenter who had delivered the beds, tables, and chairs from the foot of the mountain brought two idlers with him to deliver the items. The two brothers then instructed the idlers to put the wooden beds, tables, and chairs in place, paid them some money, and sent them back down the mountain.

Sun Yanwan used a wall with a window. In addition to the wooden bed, he picked up some stones to pad the bed, laid wooden boards, sprinkled some hay, and put old bedding on it, making a simple mountain-style sofa that he would use for meditation and practice in the future.

On the other side of the wall with the window, there was a newly delivered desk. During the time he and Miao Youxiu were traveling, they bought a lot of miscellaneous books and also purchased pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Now they were all piled on the desk, so it didn't look empty.

After he finished tidying up the room, Zhang Yuanqiao came to call the two disciples to have lunch.

Zhang Qingxi and Sun Yanwan were both very excited about their new residence and talked more during dinner.

Zhang Yuanqiao listened to his two disciples talking about their trip to town to buy things today, but he just smiled and said nothing. After lunch, he suddenly said, "The three of us, master and disciples, want to renovate Taiyi Temple. Although it will take time, it is not difficult. However, if we continue to live in such a frugal life, it will be difficult to establish a sect."

"Master has long since found out that there's a Sky Snake Gang nearby. They have quite a few lawless individuals in the gang who have committed many evil deeds."

"Master wants to subdue the Tianshe Gang these days and reorganize the gang to make it a good place where loyalty is gathered. He can also collect some money to supplement the expenses of the temple." Although Sun Yanwan had heard Miao Youxiu talk about the Miao family's financial situation and had also discussed the Songyang School's business model with the eldest brother, he was still a little shocked when he heard that the master was going to subdue the Tianshe Gang.

Now he finally understood why all the martial arts sects in this world seemed to be rich.

In these days, the leaders of ordinary gangs are not good at martial arts and are not strong, but they still want to bully the people and extort money. How can this be possible?
Zhang Qingxi cupped his hands and said, "There's no need to bother with this matter, Master. I'll go on my own."

Zhang Yuanqiao smiled faintly and said, "You're too vindictive. When you hear someone committing evil, you can't help but feel passionately. When you were still in the Songyang Sect, I asked you to subdue the Black Sail Gang, but you wiped out their entire gang. When the sect sent people to take over, everyone in the Black Sail Gang had fled. Your Sixth Uncle, who was in charge of this matter, even complained to me bitterly."

"You'd better go and be my teacher!"

Sun Yanwan guessed that the martial arts of this senior brother should be "not bad", but after all, he had never seen Zhang Qingxi show his true skills. When they first met, the other party tested his martial arts. He really didn't expect that the senior brother was so cruel. He couldn't even tell!

Zhang Qingxi looked embarrassed and wanted to argue, but in the end he didn't contradict his master. He just said, "I will be looking after the house. I will give more guidance to my junior brother and let him practice hard so that the master won't worry too much."

Zhang Yuanqiao smiled softly and said, "Very good."

After lunch, Zhang Yuanqiao practiced with Sun Yanwan for a while, protecting his meridians until the evening, when he stopped and went to cook for his two apprentices.

On the second day, Zhang Yuanqiao did not leave immediately. He continued to help Sun Yanwan practice for several days until he was convinced that his second disciple was practicing the Ziwu Sutra correctly and without any problems. Only then did he leave Taiyi Temple.

After Zhang Yuanqiao left, Sun Yanwan practiced Qigong and martial arts with his senior brother Zhang Qingxi every day. Although Zhang Qingxi worked hard, he had never seen the "modern-day turbulence." Sun Yanwan wanted to spend thirteen of the twelve hours a day practicing, but the heavens didn't allow it.

Zhang Qingxi originally thought that his junior brother needed his supervision, but he never expected that this junior brother would become a monster when he tried hard!
In addition to practicing, Sun Yanwan also memorized the Hu family's thirty-six moves of Hunyuan桩功 and seventy-two moves of Demon-Slaying Sword. When Miao Youxiu was instructing him, he was very brief. He compared it with his master's Ziwu Jing and marked out the meridians for practicing the thirty-six moves of桩功 one by one, and also added many insights into practice.

He compared it with the Ziwu Jing of the Songyang School and found that the Hunyuan Posture only cultivated thirty-six meridians, but it also had extraordinary meridians, main meridians, and hidden meridians. When combined with each other, there was another mysterious effect, which seemed quite brilliant. He pondered over it for several days and couldn't help but find his eldest brother to ask.

Zhang Qingxi couldn't help but laugh after hearing Sun Yanwan's doubts. "Junior Brother, have you heard of the sayings of the Three Supremes and the Five Grandmasters?"

Sun Yanwan shook her head and replied, "No!"

Zhang Qingxi said, "The three greatest masters in the world are Mu Xianyuan, the old owner of Youjian Villa, Da Ku Zen Master of Shaochan Temple, and the ancestor of the Dalang royal family."

"The five great masters, besides our teacher, are Monk Kongchan of Shaochan Temple, Demon Sect Leader Yang Wuji, the top master of the evil ways, Taoist Xuanming, and the Sword God Hu Qingdi!"

"Hu Qingdi? He's the ancestor of the Hu family, the head of the family for the past two generations."

Zhang Qingxi smiled slightly when he said this, "He is also Hu Fengwei's great uncle!"

Sun Yanwan's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, and she was speechless for a moment...
