Lin Qingyao slightly furrowed her brow and asked in puzzlement: "Xiao Xiang, what are you doing?"

  Xiao Xiang was holding a broom that had appeared out of nowhere, sweeping the withered branches and fallen leaves on the platform in front of the Yunmen Grand Hall.

  The original snake skin monster had long been burned to ashes by Lin Qingyao, and now the square in front of Yunmen was filled with withered branches and leaves, as well as scattered dirt and dust. Xiaoxiang seemed to want to sweep these things clean.

  "Sister, this place is so dirty and messy. I heard Grandfather say that the Cloud Gate was a major sect over a thousand years ago, but now it's become desolate like this. I think I'll clean it up a bit, as a way of comforting our predecessors." Little Xiang said, wiping away her sweat.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Although her process of becoming a disciple of Yunmen was a bit absurd, after all, she was still a disciple of Yunmen and the 39th generation sect master...

  She always thought her cultivation was still shallow and that reviving Yunmen wasn't something to be done in a hurry, but she didn't think about doing some things for Yunmen with her nimble abilities.

  Looking at Xiao Xiang's serious and solemn appearance, Lin Qingyao suddenly had an idea. If she were to bring a disciple like Xiao Xiang to Yunmen, her master Cloud Clear would definitely be delighted.

  It's just... Lin Qingyao really didn't want to deceive Xiao Xiang into joining Yunmen, but now Yunmen is penniless and has nothing. There's only a single Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivator, the Sect Master, and she really doesn't know how to face Xiao Xiang or Song Hezi anymore.

  Lin Qingyao gazed at Xiao Xiang for a long time before finally making a decision.

  At this moment, Lin Qingyao's eyes were shining brightly, and her expression was... somewhat similar to that of Ji Qing when he was calculating.

  Lin Qingyao found Little Xiang's grandfather and sat down beside him.

  She carefully chose her words and asked sideways: "How many years has Xiaoxiang been practicing?"

  Song Hezi thought Lin Qingyao was concerned about Xiao Xiang, of course, she was delighted to see it happen, and smiled: "From the beginning of remembering things, I started practicing, now, already five years have passed."

  Lin Qingyao slightly furrowed her brow, pretending to be somewhat surprised, and asked: "Why is it that after five years, you've only reached the third layer of Qi refinement?"

  Song Hezi sighed: "No good kung fu, no elixir to assist in cultivation, I'm a grandfather, and I've delayed this child."

  Lin Qingyao's heart bloomed with joy upon hearing this, and indeed, she had long guessed that Xiao Xiang's cultivation method was not good. Now, Song Hezi has confirmed the matter.

  "Nowadays, good kung fu is hard to come by. I wanted to send Xiaoxiang to the Dà Mén Pài, but I'm worried that as a female cultivator, she'll be bullied." Song Hezi's words were all filled with his deep concern and love for Xiaoxiang.

  Lin Qingyao turned her head and glanced at Xiao Xiang, then said to Song Hezi: "If I could provide a good set of kung fu for Xiao Xiang..."

  Song Hezi suddenly heard this, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Qingyao's arm, excitedly asking: "Lin Xiaotou, is what you said true? Is it really true?"

  Song Hezi was so excited that she grabbed Lin Qingyao and wouldn't let go.

  Lin Qingyao didn't get annoyed, and with a clear voice laughed: "However, this technique can't be casually passed on." Since Xiao Xiang didn't have a good cultivation method, she would pass on the Yunmen's technique to her. Although the Yunmen's inheritance was incomplete, the Yunmen's cultivation method part was still very complete. It seemed that it was intentional by Yun Qingzi after all. After all, for a sect, everything can be gone, but if even their own inherited techniques are lost, then this sect is completely rootless.

  Lin Qingyao had never practiced the Cloud Gate's techniques, but she also knew that the Cloud Gate's techniques were absolutely not ordinary goods. Otherwise, the Cloud Gate would not have been so prosperous in its heyday.

  "You said, as long as there's a good kung fu skill that can be passed on to Xiaoxiang, even if it means taking the life of this old bones of mine, I'd be willing!" Song Hezi exclaimed, his weathered face flushing with excitement.

  Lin Qingyao's smile froze: "What would I want with your life?"

  "If I were to say that cultivating this technique requires shouldering a great responsibility, such as the revival of a sect..." Lin Qingyao said vaguely.

  "Everyone has their own destiny, if you want to gain something, you need to pay the price. If it's with responsibility, then getting a good cultivation method is worth it. It's better than being mediocre and useless for a lifetime."

  Lin Qingyao said with a deep sigh: "But this road is very simple, this responsibility, it's as heavy as a mountain!"

  Song Hezi smiled and said: "I also can't decide what for Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang is not small anymore, I'll call her over and ask her."

  Waiting for Xiaoxiang to come over, she sensitively discovered that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between her grandfather and sister, both of whom were sizing her up.

  "Grandfather, sister, what are you looking for me about?" Xiaoxiang felt that the atmosphere around her had changed and became more serious.

  Looking at the little girl standing there with a serious face, Lin Qingyao found it somewhat amusing and chuckled lightly.

  "Xiao Xiang, listen to Grandfather's words. Your sister Lin has a set of skills that she wants to teach you, but in order to cultivate this set of skills, you need to bear the responsibility of reviving an entire sect. Are you willing?"

  Xiao Xiang's small face scrunched up, thinking for a moment before saying: "Grandfather often told me that cultivation requires cultivating the heart. If sister wants me to revive a heretical or evil sect, Xiao Xiang won't allow it. But if it's a sect like the Cloud Sect, Xiao Xiang is delighted."

  Xiao Xiang used to live with Song Hezi in a wild Taoist temple, and had never seen a sect as majestic and solemn as the Yunmen Sect. From the bottom of her heart, she had a kind of reverence for this already declining sect.

  Lin Qingyao smiled: "Is what Little Xiang said really from the heart?"

  Xiao Xiang solemnly nodded.

  Lin Qingyao said: "I hope you can make a vow to keep the devil's heart, even if you are unwilling, don't leak out what I'm going to say next."

  Although Song Hezi's cultivation was not very high, she had lived for over a hundred years after all, and naturally understood the underlying principles. She understood what Lin Qingyao said, so she pulled Xiao Xiang along and made a Heart Demon Oath together.

  Lin Qingyao finally felt at ease and looked at the two people with a serious expression, saying: "The technique I mentioned is that of Yunmen. To revive the sect, it must be this sect..."

  Xiao Xiang was shocked by Lin Qingyao's words and opened her mouth wide, staring at Lin Qingyao.

  Song Hezi reacted quickly, soon understood, and exclaimed with surprise: "The Cloud Gate's kung fu must be a top-notch kung fu! If Xiaoxiang cultivates it, she will surely become invincible!"

  Xiao Xiang came back to her senses and looked at the beautiful sister in front of her. She said seriously, "Xiao Xiang is willing to revive Yunmen."

  Xiao Xiang only mentioned reviving Yunmen but didn't mention anything about the method, it can be seen that this child is not only clever but also knows how to be grateful.

  Lin Qingyao selected a set of kung fu moves from her inherited memories and taught them to Xiaoxiang.

  Xiao Xiang wants to cultivate is the main practice method of most Yunmen monks, the Ascending Clouds Formula.

  Yunmen has many other miscellaneous techniques besides the Cloud Ascension Technique, all of which are top-notch. However, since Xiaoxiang is still young, it's best to temporarily cultivate the Cloud Ascension Technique to lay a solid foundation. The technique can be changed later on.

  Song Hezi looked at Xiao Xiang with a face full of envy, how did he not have such good luck back then, to have a good set of skills, otherwise he wouldn't have been struggling for many years!

  Lin Qingyao saw the envy in Song Hezi's eyes and smiled: "If Old Song is also willing to make a vow, never to harm Yunmen, I can also pass on the technique to you."

  To the left and right, it's about expanding Yunmen. It's not easy to meet two cultivators who look decent, so why not take them all in? Since they're willing to make a Heart Demon Oath, that proves their loyalty to Yunmen. And she is the current Sect Master of Yunmen... Hmm, this is like getting two free subordinates! Although these two are weak and useless...

  Song Hezi was shocked by Lin Qingyao's words, pointing to his own nose and asking: "Me... me too?" This old rascal, what development could he have? If it weren't for getting along with him and knowing Lin Qingyao's nature, Song Hezi would suspect that Lin Qingyao was plotting against his Soul Bell.

  Lin Qingyao nodded, Yunmen was not just a set of kung fu techniques, spreading it out wouldn't be a big deal, and if in the future Song Hezi did something to betray Yunmen, taking him down would be the same... Lin Qingyao thought this way, but deep down she also knew that such things were basically impossible.

  A pie in the sky, how could Song Hezi not agree! Immediately followed by Xiaoxiang to perform the entrance ceremony, Lin Qingyao chose a spiritual root of earth attribute that is suitable for cultivation and passed it on to Song Hezi.

  Up until now, Lin Qingyao had gone from being a lone cultivator to becoming the sect master of a sect with three people.

  Cough, cough... However, these three people, one old, one weak, and a woman... Lin Qingyao looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling that reviving Yunmen was a heavy burden, with an overwhelming sense of pressure.

  Through Xiaoxiang's matter, Lin Qingyao fully realized that she had done too little for Yunmen, feeling a bit sorry for Yunqingzi who had scattered his last wisp of divine soul because of her. So she cleaned up Yunmen with Xiaoxiang and Songhezi.

  Lin Qingyao threw out a fireball technique, burning everything that had been entwined, including withered branches and dead leaves, to a crisp cleanliness.

  Song Hezi looked at Lin Qingyao's movements, walked over, and stroked the tiger cub, frowning and saying: "In the Yunmen sect, there is actually not a bit of spiritual energy, it's really strange."

  Lin Qingyao knew what Song Hezi meant, Yunmen was an ancient sect from a thousand years ago. Although the skills at that time were not as prosperous as those in ancient times, they were much better than the withered appearance of today.

  It's said that within the mountain gate of Yunmen, no matter what, the spiritual energy wouldn't be so thin! It's not even comparable to the outside world!
