Before the banquet began, Lu Yuanshan delivered a speech.
"Today is a good day worth remembering for our Qingshan Sect."
"I, Lu, have been practicing for nearly a hundred years, and I finally welcomed my first child, Lu Nianmei. The birth of my daughter makes me very happy."
"It is indeed a blessing to our Qingshan Sect that everyone can take time out of their busy schedules to come. I am very happy and gratified. On behalf of the Qingshan Sect, I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come to the banquet..."
With a smile on his face and joy in his heart, Lu Yuanshan delivered a speech in an orderly manner. After he finished speaking, he officially announced the start of the banquet.
There was a dazzling array of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which aroused everyone's appetite and made them laugh and talk happily.
The focus of everyone's attention is still on Lu Nianmei, and the other is on Lu Ping.
As a peak monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, many people are actually speculating that Lu Ping is about to enter the Divine Transformation Stage, but he has not revealed when he will enter seclusion.
Now after a little inquiry, I got accurate information that Lu Ping wanted to retreat to condense his soul. While he was admiring him in his heart, he didn't dare to show any slight to the Qingshan Sect.
In the future, as long as the Qingshan Sect gives birth to monks of the Transformation Stage, it will be the leading Soul Transformation Sect in Lingxi Prefecture.
Its position is more powerful than that of Tianshu Academy.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
After the banquet that had been waiting for a day was over and the guests from all parties gradually left, Lu Yuanshan took a deep breath and felt that his face was almost numb from laughing all day long.
"Brother, this banquet was more lively than expected. Many uninvited forces and monks took the initiative to congratulate us. It seems that they still value our sect very much."
Lu Changfeng said with a smile, he didn't expect so many people to come to the banquet.
If the Qingshan Sect wasn't so powerful, we would really be worried that someone would take the opportunity to invade on a large scale.
"All the famous forces in Lingxi Prefecture have come, and even some newly established immortal cultivating families have come to support us."
"No matter how powerful they are or how influential their sphere of influence is, since they are here, they are all guests of my Qingshan Sect."
"From now on, when they hold banquets, our Qingshan Sect will also send people to attend."
Lu Yuanshan said seriously that he would not look down on the new immortal cultivating families because they were too weak.
Reciprocity should still be followed.
Moreover, the Qingshan Sect should also be approachable and down-to-earth, so that outsiders would not think it is unattainable.
When you open a sect, disciples are the foundation for the development of the sect.
Only by attracting a steady stream of monks to join the sect and then cultivating them properly can the sect prosper and be passed on for a long time.
"Brother, I see you have been smiling all day. You should also eat something."
"The ingredients prepared by Minghui this time are all very good, and they are all delicacies from the mountains and seas. I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time."
Lu Changfeng laughed and said, from the beginning of the banquet, Lu Yuanshan could always see a smile on his face.
Those guests came to the banquet one after another to congratulate them, and Lu Yuanshan would receive them with a smile and return greetings, leaving no time to eat.
This is the most basic etiquette. Lu Yuanshan will not put on high airs on any point.
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Yuanshan was so happy for the first time. Although his face was numb from smiling, it did not prevent him from eating with a smile.
In the following days, Qingshan Sect’s full moon wine spread quickly.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s hot or not. The main thing is which monks are participating and which forces are going to the Qingshan Sect for the banquet. These are the points that outside monks pay attention to.
A full-moon wine gathering attracted many powerful people, even Tianshu Academy came to the banquet, which shows how influential the Qingshan Sect is.
On the tenth day after the Full Moon Wine, the Qingshan Sect held a large-scale disciple recruitment event, opening its doors to attract outstanding monks from all over the world to join.
Not only that, they also sent Song Minghui, Xu Yi and other disciples to lead a large number of Qingshan Sect disciples to hold spirit testing activities in major towns and villages in Lushan County.
All children over the age of five can receive spiritual root testing for free. If their spiritual roots are detected, they can join the Qingshan Sect to practice as long as they are willing.
As soon as this news came out, the mortals and casual cultivators in Lushan County were extremely excited. They had all heard of the famous name of Qingshan Sect.
Anyone who yearns for immortality in their hearts is eager to join the Qingshan Sect to practice this time.
This spirit testing activity has been held for more than a year, and all children over the age of five in all towns and villages in Lushan County who are willing to be tested have been tested.
The number of children tested reached 100,000, and a total of more than 1,000 fairy seedlings emerged from them.
Among them, there were two Tianlinggen monks and sixty-six Dual Spiritual Roots.
The Qingshan Sect does not disdain anyone with a low level of inspiration. Even those with the lowest Five Spiritual Roots can join the Qingshan Sect and start as a handyman disciple.
The current development of Qingshan Sect is to expand the number of disciples on a large scale.
This arrangement of recruiting disciples was actually part of Lu Ping's plan and was proposed by Lu Ping.
Compared with other sects who prefer to be short-term and often start with three spiritual roots, Lu Ping is not planning randomly this time.
He has recently been thinking about establishing a second Qingshan Sect in the Central Ancestral Territory, which will be the branch of the Qingshan Sect.
We don’t know what it will develop into in the future. In short, let’s establish it first.
To establish a sect, Lu Ping does not lack basic resources and spiritual stones for the time being, but what he lacks most is disciples.
Rather than recruiting children and casual cultivators in the unfamiliar central ancestral territory, it would be better to lead a group of disciples from his hometown, Lushan County.
At least, monks who come from the same hometown, by birth and blood, will definitely be able to maintain unity in a foreign land and be more cohesive.
These newly recruited children are trained from an early age, which can well cultivate their sense of belonging.
Therefore, it is necessary to recruit disciples on a large scale and increase the bloodline of the sect.
The Qingshan Sect spent another year accepting these children with spiritual roots and began to worship and practice in the sect.
According to different qualifications, different disciple statuses are arranged for them.
Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
Xiao Qiumei has grown up to be a little girl, she can already jump and run around. The little girl is very lively, and her big eyes are particularly smart.
In appearance, she looks a bit like Liu Qiumei.
She is very well-behaved and sensible. When Lu Ping asked her to call her grandpa, she would smile like a crescent moon with two cute dimples on her cheeks. Lidou smiled and called Lu Ping grandpa.
Lu Ping burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Everyone loves Xiao Nianmei very much and regards her as a treasure in their hand. She is the favorite of the Qingshan Sect and is very popular.
