Above the Qingming Sky Dome.

A dazzling golden light flew rapidly from the end of the sky. When it got closer, it could be seen that it was a magnificent and ancient bronze carriage, surrounded by dozens of zhang of brilliant golden light, with thunderous sounds constantly resounding as it flew.

“…Junior Brother, control the speed of the carriage. It’s your first time driving, so the speed shouldn’t be too fast!”

“…Slow down, Junior Brother, you’re speeding again!”

“…Junior Brother, why can’t you stop?”

“Junior Brother, if you keep doing this, Senior Sister won’t let you play anymore!”

“Okay, Senior Sister, I won’t do it again! I promise!” Qing Muling’s pleasing voice echoed in the carriage.

“I’ll believe it when I see it…”

Senior Sister’s clear and pleasant voice continued to sound in Qing Muling’s ears. He promised and adjusted the speed of the spiritual power output by manipulating the spiritual technique, gradually calming the turbulent spiritual energy fluctuations in the formation array.

It had to be admitted that driving this treasure-level carriage that could fly and travel underground was a completely new experience. Even though it was Qing Muling’s first time driving, he was almost addicted to it.

With a few days left until the start of the battle, at Qing Muling’s request, Senior Sister Xuebing Xuan took Junior Brother out under the pretext of detecting the movements of underground demons, and taught him how to control and drive the carriage.

The technique of driving the carriage taught by Xuebing Xuan was not too complicated. Qing Muling was a bit inexperienced at first and needed Senior Sister’s guidance. After several adjustments, he gradually adapted and became more proficient, until he became more and more skilled, enjoying the exhilarating high-speed driving.

At this moment, Qing Muling finally understood why the senior drivers in his previous life loved racing so much, even if it meant risking their lives by speeding or even crashing. It was because the feeling of riding with the wind was so exciting and exhilarating.

An hour later, with his spiritual power depleted and feeling completely drained, Qing Muling finally stopped, handing over the control to Senior Sister. Of course, with the mysterious and powerful Harmony Spirit Seed, it wouldn’t take long for him to fully recover and continue another round of high-speed driving.

At this time, the carriage had already entered the core area of the Void Landmass. On the gray-black ground, the entrance to the Abyss of Soul Demons – a super giant sinkhole with a diameter of over a thousand li and a bottomless depth – was clearly visible.

Qing Muling thought for a moment and asked, “What cultivation level do the strongest underground demons have? They shouldn’t be higher than the Sect Master, right?”

Even if Sect Master Mu Yinghua was not as strong, there were still the Elders in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace’s secret realm. If they were willing to take action, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with the demons here and reclaim the lost territory. It would just require a bit more resources.

Xuebing Xuan nodded slightly, “In theory, that’s the case. Unfortunately, things are not as simple as you imagine. Sect Master and the Elders all have important tasks and can’t spare the time. The sect has too many places to take care of, and it’s simply impossible to do everything at once.”

Even though Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had declined for thousands of years, its remaining wealth and interests were still extremely abundant. There were also many strategic interests that couldn’t be lost, which were the hope for the future revival of the sect. They couldn’t easily give up on them. Compared to that, the gains and losses of the Linzhou territory were important, but they couldn’t be compared to those strategic interests.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that.”

Qing Muling changed the topic, “Senior Sister Qi Shuyu came to find me again yesterday, and those Elders too. Their attitudes seemed sincere, and the conditions they offered were quite generous. What do you think I should do?”

Taking Bai Qingyu as a precedent, Qi Shuyu had started to have thoughts and sent eight carefully selected beautiful girls in just a few days, saying that they could be Qing Muling’s maidservants or even warm his bed if he wished.

Naturally, Qing Muling politely declined this overt proposition, as well as the similar actions of the other Elders. After all, it wouldn’t be easy to explain to the three Senior Sisters. However, they wouldn’t easily give up, and who knew what other tricks they would use. The key was that they currently had no ill intentions towards Qing Muling, they just wanted to establish a closer relationship. Considering their backgrounds, they couldn’t simply be treated as enemies.

Moreover, some of the Senior Sisters were originally close to Sect Master, and they directly sought help from Xuebing Xuan. Based on their past relationship, Xuebing Xuan couldn’t harshly refuse.

Xuebing Xuan turned her head and looked at Qing Muling, saying gently, “It’s a bit early to discuss this given your current situation. Once the master-servant relationship is established, whether it’s maidservants, bodyguards, or true followers, their expenses and daily cultivation resources will be your responsibility.”

“And when facing external threats, you must have enough cultivation to protect them and not let others have any ideas about them. Are you prepared for that?”

Qing Muling shook his head, “I definitely can’t do it now. It seems like rejecting them is the wisest choice?”

Qing Muling currently had neither resources nor power. Although he was confident that he wouldn’t lack these in the future, that was still a matter for the future.

Without power and resources, why would others wholeheartedly follow you?

Xuebing Xuan smiled, “There’s no need to be so absolute in your words. Leave some room. After all, they are aware of your current situation, and there’s no need to make things difficult for you.”

“When your cultivation level improves in the future, obtaining resources won’t be a problem. That’s when you’ll have the capital to manage your own team.”Qing Muling nodded, not just for himself, but for all the core elders and even the Sect Master. They all went through the same process in their time, and so do the current senior sisters.

The improvement of cultivation cannot be achieved overnight, and if you want to improve quickly, you cannot do without the support of resources. So, in the end, it all comes down to resources, or in other words, making money.

Qing Muling now has the care of his senior sisters, so he certainly doesn’t lack resources for daily cultivation, but this is still not enough.

After going through the ways of making money from his previous life in his mind, Qing Muling helplessly found that due to the huge differences in the space-time world, these methods seemed not very suitable. They were too slow to take effect, the benefits were unclear, the risks were uncontrollable, and rash attempts would lead to a dead end.

The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the flawless body of the senior sister. Under her gorgeous skirt, the round and slender jade legs were faintly visible. Qing Muling couldn’t help but start thinking.

If… I mean if, I could replicate the stockings from my previous life, it should be very popular among the senior sisters, right? After all, it’s a pity not to wear stockings on such beautiful long legs.

The materials needed for stockings are not complicated. In this space-time world, you can find higher-end substitute materials, and you can make them with the method of refining tools, and even give them some different functions…

Well, it’s not just stockings, but also various bold and unconventional intimate clothing, such as cheetah-striped, strap-style, invisible, passion-opening… cough, stop, stop, I will be cleaned up by the angry senior sisters.

After finally suppressing his overly wild thoughts, Qing Muling refocused his attention on driving.

Of course, these ideas are not entirely unfeasible. After all, the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace is full of female cultivators. The market size is beyond imagination, the consumption power is strong, and the demand for this aspect should not be lacking.

Maybe… I can give it a try?

Let’s start with the three senior sisters. As for what kind of expression they will have when they see Junior Brother’s new invention, Qing Muling has no idea at the moment.
