"No, your 'Wind and Cloud' isn't finished updating yet. You're not thinking of giving up, are you?" Qin Yue suddenly thought of this.
"Is that really that important?" Qing Feng asked.
To be honest, he didn't want to continue updating 'Wind and Cloud'.
Although the combat power in the later series of 'Wind and Cloud' became extremely powerful, escalating from high-level martial arts to a fantasy level, even featuring characters like Great Sun Tathagata and Nuwa, as well as divine versions of characters.
However, the only parts Qing Feng had truly read seriously were the first two, up until Di Shitian.
As for the subsequent content like Xiao Sanxiao, he had only heard about it and hadn't read it carefully.
Regarding this, Qin Yue smiled and said to Qing Feng, "Qing Feng, I remember you once said that finishing what you start is an author's responsibility, and those who give up halfway are seen as irresponsible."
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will complete the updates."
Qing Feng's expression turned serious, thinking to himself: Senior Sister, say what you will, but can you please remove your hand from the sword hilt first?
Qing Feng thought, I just wanted to stop updating for a bit, it can't be that serious, can it? After all, you're my only Martial Brother!
"Mm, I knew Qing Feng is a responsible person." Qin Yue's smile grew brighter, and she released the sword hilt. "Otherwise, you know, we have a small circle who all love stories, and there are a few Nascent Soul Senior Sisters among them. If they come out of seclusion and find out the comic has stopped updating, I won't be able to protect you."
Qing Feng was stunned for a moment. To prevent the updates from stopping, Senior Sister actually brought out the Nascent Soul Senior Sisters? Wait, Senior Sister has a small circle.
"Senior Sister, how many people are in this circle? How much help can you be if I want to spread my story?" Qing Feng asked.
"About thirty or forty people," Qin Yue said uncertainly. Her circle of friends either had outstanding talent or captivating beauty; there were always some similarities that brought them together. Such people were not common in Beast Taming Sect.
"Only thirty or forty people?" Qing Feng seemed a bit disappointed; this number was far from enough.
"You want more people to know? We could hold a storytelling event, promote it, and gathering four or five thousand people shouldn't be a problem. However, haven't you always wanted to keep a low profile? Are you asking me to help you make a name for yourself and earn money as a storyteller?" Qin Yue asked, puzzled.
"Can you gather three or four thousand people?" Qing Feng's eyes lit up; this sounded much more feasible.
"Of course. In this era, although killing is unavoidable, excessive killing, if the malevolent aura is not promptly resolved, can easily lead to qi deviation.
It's like a longsword: if it stays in its sheath for too long, it will rust, but if it never returns to its sheath, it's more likely to break. So, now leisure and entertainment are encouraged to prevent excessive obsession with killing and falling into demonic obstacles," Qin Yue explained.
"That's true," Qing Feng nodded, thinking that since the celestial dao changed ten thousand years ago, society had also undergone tremendous changes.
Previously, cultivators pursued pure cultivation and unity with heaven and man, but now they had to adapt to a world full of killing, finding various ways to relax themselves.
Especially those cultivators accustomed to proving the Dao through killing often encountered adaptation problems when returning to peaceful life, eventually leading to their downfall.
Therefore, everyone began to find enjoyment through different means, such as elegant activities like zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with Buddhist and Daoist sects particularly promoting these. Many cultivators might not have profound cultivation, but they excelled in their side occupations.
In layman's terms, it was about enjoying life.
As long as one ate well, drank well, and had fun, their mood would naturally be pleasant, and external influences would become less important.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, the status of "Pleasure Cultivators" followed closely behind "Pill Cultivators," "Artifact Cultivators," and "Formation Cultivators," even surpassing "Talisman Cultivators."
The status of immortal chefs also significantly increased, and the emerging profession of storytellers rose to prominence.
If one told stories well, they might even be rewarded with Human-tier magical artifacts.
"By the way, you also have a draft for your 'Ancestor of Sword Cultivation' story, don't you?" Qin Yue suddenly asked.
Qing Feng looked up at Qin Yue, suddenly having an ominous premonition. What did she want to do?
"Qing Feng, let's calculate: a day has twelve hours. Storytelling takes at most two hours, eating and other things add up to one hour, leaving nine hours. I'll give you five hours for cultivation, leaving four hours.
Since you've reached Foundation Establishment, one hour of sleep is enough, which leaves six hours. It's not too much to ask for some individual tutoring from Senior Sister, is it?" Qin Yue said with a smile.
Qing Feng glanced at Qin Yue, then took a big step back and plunged directly off the nearby cliff.
"You want me to do two jobs at once and not let me rest, sleeping only two hours a day. You shouldn't be called Qin Yue, you should be called Qin the Flayer!"
"Shen Muqing is dead?"
Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, Law Enforcement Elder Yuan Qing True Lord showed a surprised expression.
"That's right, Martial Brother Chang Qing found Shen Muqing unconscious near the Cold Pond. He originally wanted to wake him up, but found that Senior Brother Shen had already passed away," a Disciple reported.
"Where is the body?" Yuan Qing True Lord frowned.
"It's placed by the Cold Pond. We were afraid of unforeseen circumstances, so we didn't dare to move it," the Disciple replied.
After nodding, Yuan Qing True Lord transformed into a streak of light and instantly arrived at the scene. Looking at Shen Muqing lying on the ground, he touched his forehead, his brows furrowed: "This method is so vicious. His soul dissipated without any external injuries. Could it be the work of a Dongxuan Realm cultivator?"
"Dongxuan Realm?" The Disciple next to him was greatly alarmed. "Elder, could this be related to those devils from Thousand Lake World last time?"
"We can't rule out that possibility. But their target in Thousand Lake World was the Kirin Blood Vine, and they only sent one Golden Core member. If it weren't for the day of Nine Yin, the barrier would have been broken long ago. However, what would be the purpose of using a Dongxuan True Lord to deal with Shen Muqing?"
Yuan Qing True Lord pondered, "Shen Muqing, does he have any enemies in the Sect?"
"Yesterday, he had a conflict with people from Chen Ming Peak, especially Qing Feng," the Disciple replied.
"They couldn't have done it. Although defeating Shen Muqing would be easy for them, killing him without leaving a trace, even their Master Qin Heng couldn't do it. Besides, they didn't return all last night," Yuan Qing True Lord analyzed.
"Indeed, it's unlikely," the Disciple echoed.
"Then does he have any other enemies?" Yuan Qing True Lord asked.
"Chief, you also know that our Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for handling injustices, so it's inevitable to offend some people," the Disciple said awkwardly.
"Is it for fair enforcement, or for abusing power for personal gain, causing discontent?" Yuan Qing True Lord questioned.
"No, Chief. Most Disciples of Beast Taming Sect are unruly, especially talented Disciples who have powerful backers. If we aren't tough enough, we simply can't keep them in check," the Disciple explained.
"Acting according to the law will naturally command respect." Yuan Qing True Lord's gaze swept over, and the Disciple's expression suddenly changed. He hastily apologized: "This Disciple spoke out of turn. Please punish me, Chief."
"Your fault is not for me to decide. Soon, I will establish a specialized law enforcement team to supervise the behavior of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, and at the same time, supervise you all," Yuan Qing True Lord announced.
