Shulong Daojun

Upon hearing this, Lu Qinzhu remained calm, not surprised that Lin Shu would ask such a question.

This was his second purpose for coming here.

"Junior brother, this matter... is also good news."

He pondered for a moment, then, keeping everyone in suspense, only after seeing Lin Shu's questioning look did he smile faintly and explain:

"This time, it was at the sect leader's behest that the newly promoted Earth Immortal secretly intervened while eliminating the chaos in various places, driving all the demons and evil spirits in the two regions under his jurisdiction to that buffer zone."

One reason was to reduce disasters and transform remote and dangerous places like deep mountains and marshes into places of rest and recuperation, making it easier to resettle and relocate people.

As for the other one...

Lu Qinzhuo glanced up, then changed the subject:

"The purpose is to use the gathered demons and evil spirits to restrain the disciples of the Demonic Sect, causing them to be preoccupied with their own affairs and lose their composure."

It is also a place set aside as a training ground for my Taoist disciples.

One can slay demons and hone one's Taoist skills here, as well as connect with the earth's veins and purify the turbid energy, making it convenient for mortal disciples to accumulate merit.

Peace reigns in the world, but the positions of true gods are limited, merits are hard to accumulate, and the rank of Earth Immortal is even more difficult to attain.

Now that we have this buffer zone, the conflicts between demonic sects and the chaos caused by evil spirits will surely erupt one after another, and this will become our achievement.

At this point, Lu Qinzhu sincerely praised, "Achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop; the headmaster's ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

After hearing this, Lin Shu felt that there was some truth to it, but he did not completely agree.

Yi Xuan's plans were all based on the principles of benefiting the creation of heaven and earth, the cultivation of Taoist disciples, and the stability of the people.

Despite its moral flaws, it boils down to one thing: usefulness.

It is useful to heaven and earth, to Taoist disciples, and to the common people.

However, one should not speak too definitively. While the plan may be extremely beneficial, we must also consider the final outcome.

If something goes wrong in the middle, it might backfire and cause harm.

For example, what should we do if the demonic sect subdues evil spirits for its own use and then unites to launch a counterattack against the Taoist sect?

Thinking of this, Lin Shu's heart tightened, and a bold idea suddenly emerged: "What if I were to recruit him for my own use?"

With Zhuyin present, after the dragon transformation is complete, it seems... not impossible?

As he pondered the possibility of this, Lu Qinzhuo seemed to remember something, quickly put away the cloud in his hand, and said awkwardly:

"Judging from the old Taoist's temperament, he was so engrossed in the cloud-summoning technique he had acquired after becoming an Earth Immortal that he forgot to tell his junior brother something."

There's something else I need my junior brother's help with.

Lin Shu was slightly surprised.

Lu Qinzhuo is already an Earth Immortal, yet he still needs my help with something?

So he temporarily put aside his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior brother, please speak freely. I will certainly not refuse anything within my power."

Lu Qinzhuo was overjoyed and, without hesitation, said:

"The sect leader once instructed that although the buffer zone allows disciples to sort out the earth's veins and accumulate merit, it still lacks a group of cultivators who understand the water and soil and are familiar with the earth's veins to teach them."

At the same time, if disciples from various lineages are placed in it to slay demons and undergo trials, they cannot be left to their own devices.

A calm and composed elder is needed to accompany and oversee the disciples, restrain them, and step in to protect them in times of crisis.

Although I'm constantly on the go, it's a relatively easy job, so this task fell to me again.

However, those who possess both qualities are extremely rare; I, your senior brother, have searched for many days but have found very few.

After saying that, Lu Qinzhuo rubbed his temples, his face full of distress.

Lin Shu gleaned a hint of meaning from his words and looked up, slightly speculating, "Senior Brother, do you mean...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qinzhuo nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's exactly what I meant."

I just observed that my junior brother has already reached the level of a living immortal, and he also defeated all the disciples of various lineages at the Dharma assembly, so his strength is naturally not a problem.

Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Cen praised his junior brother's management of the Qingwu City's geomantic veins, saying he was extremely skilled.

The combination of the two makes them the most suitable candidates for this important task.

What do you think, junior brother?

After speaking, he looked expectant and waited for a reply.

Lin Shu frowned, lost in thought.

His strength is certainly not a problem, it's his method of connecting to the earth's veins...

He did indeed know a little bit; with a sweep of his divine light, all the earth's turbid energy and death energy dissolved away.

At the same time, the contribution of Zhuyin is also indispensable.

Where the earth's veins are congested or blocked, just swallow it whole.

In terms of proper analysis and differentiation, he admitted that he was still somewhat inferior to established masters like Chang Gung.

However, it is sufficient to teach Taoist disciples who know nothing about this path.

Moreover, this way, they can use the guise of teaching to openly and legitimately go to the ruptured ley lines according to the ley line model, allowing the Candle Yin to devour them.

Who would have thought that a turbid dragon would be following behind a Taoist disciple?

The more Lin Shu thought about it, the more feasible this method seemed.

But remembering that there was still one concern in his mind, he said, "There is naturally no problem with what Senior Brother entrusted to me."

However, since my junior brother was previously coerced by Cang Hun, and that place is so close to the Demonic Sect, I fear that some Earth Immortals from the Demonic Sect might disregard their status and bully the weak.

After saying this, his expression was full of worry, and he sighed again.

Lu Qinzhuo quickly gave a reassuring smile and said, "Junior Brother, don't worry about that."

This concerns the safety of our Daoist disciples, and the sect leader has already made a three-point agreement with the group of Earth Immortals from the Demonic Sect.

Within the buffer zone, the Earth Immortals of both the Dao and Demonic sects are not allowed to act arbitrarily without special reasons.

Those who violate this rule will be jointly punished by both the Daoist and Demonic sects.

The only thing to be careful about is...

He paused abruptly for a moment, gave an awkward smile, glanced at Lin Shu a few times, and said seriously:

"Among those demons, there may be a few powerful demons at the Earth Immortal level. Be careful when entering them."

However, once all the evil spirits that were using this route have entered, the sect leader will naturally take action to deter them, so there's no need to worry too much.

After saying that, he seemed to realize that he had been too hasty, and changed his words, saying, "Junior brother, please consider it for a few more days and give me an answer."

This matter still requires some preparation before it can be implemented, but there is still plenty of time.

This is exactly what Lin Shu wanted to hear.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and said with a soft laugh, "Since you are being so polite, it would be inappropriate to refuse again."

I agree to this matter. If you need anything, please let me know in advance so that I have time to arrange various matters in Qingwu City.

After all, he is still a righteous god, and he must keep the affairs within his jurisdiction in mind.

Lu Qinzhuo understood perfectly, nodded slightly, and smiled with satisfaction: "That's how it should be, Junior Brother, don't worry."

For those like you who leave the sect for the sake of Taoism, the sect has its own set of protection methods.

After my junior brother leaves Qingwu City, I will strengthen the magic array to protect this place, and corresponding disciples will also come to patrol regularly, so there will be no mishaps.

Besides, teaching won't take up too much of your time, junior brother; a month or so will suffice.

Lin Shu nodded and said nothing more.

A month or so should be enough time for him to thoroughly investigate that buffer zone, and also for Zhuyin to have his fill.
