994: Chapter 0994: The Combination of Science and Taoist Magic 994: Chapter 0994: The Combination of Science and Taoist Magic In Sect Hierarch Long Fei’s small courtyard, there was little distinction from the yards of the other Elders and Sect Leaders.
This was a rule he had set.
In the Yin Yang Sect, everyone was to be equal; privileges were not to be brought here.
Cultivation Levels might vary, but in terms of character, everyone was the sa.
This was beneficial for the unity of the sect.
Otherwise, if the mbers felt disgruntled every other day, the sect would lose its fighting spirit.
In the courtyard, Elder Mu Qingzhu sat under the pavilion.
Long Fei brewed a cup of Divine Sword Sect’s Enlightennt Tea and sat opposite him.
Mu Qingzhu took a sip, closed his eyes, and showed an astonished expression, repeatedly praising, “What splendid tea, truly splendid.
I didn’t expect that the tea also has the effect of steadying one’s mind.
With just one sip, my entire Divine Sea becos clear and bright, as if I’m sitting in a place of cultivation listening to soone preach.”
Long Fei smiled and said, “This tea cos from a Spiritual Root of the Divine Sword Sect, naturally it’s no ordinary thing.
Originally I wanted to ask the Sect Master for so, but it was too precious, and they were reluctant to give more.
In the end, I only got three leaves.”
Mu Qingzhu responded, “Then I am indeed fortunate to taste it!”
He dared not drink too much and sipped it carefully.
Long Fei laughed and said, “The world is vast, and there are plenty of such precious Spiritual Roots.
In the future, I’ll find one and plant it in our Yin Yang Sect, so anyone who craves it can have a sip.”
Mu Qingzhu shook his head, smiling, and said, “Sect Hierarch, there’s sothing I’m not sure if I should say.”
“Old Man Mu, there’s no need for restraint in front of .”
Long Fei smiled.
Mu Qingzhu said, “You, as a Sect Hierarch, are different from others.
Others use the power of their sects to seek personal gains as much as possible, yet you think only of the disciples.
Take this incident, for example, since everyone has chosen to join the Yin Yang Sect, we should naturally follow the rules of the sect.
But you allowed everyone to make their own choices, even freely leaving the Yin Yang Sect.
Wouldn’t such an approach give opportunistic disciples a chance to exploit?”
Long Fei knew that Mu Qingzhu was considering the managent of the sect, feeling that his words did not promote unity.
These disciples all benefited from the Yin Yang Sect, which in the past would have forced Brain-Eating Pills upon them and treated them as slaves.
But Long Fei had beco a laissez-faire leader, allowing disciples to co and go as they pleased.
While sipping tea, Long Fei enlightened Mu Qingzhu, saying, “Old Man Mu, all your concerns stem from your current perspective, and your troubles arise from this viewpoint.
Perhaps if you look at things from a higher level, these will no longer be problems.”
“I don’t understand!”
Old Man Mu was completely baffled.
Long Fei explained, “We ca from the outside, like jumping from a well into a pond, but beyond there are larger lakes, even oceans.
If we limit ourselves to pond-level thinking, we’ll struggle at this level our whole lives.
If we consider the lakes and oceans, the splashes in the pond…
are they even worth ntioning?”
Old Man Mu pondered deeply and fell silent.
Long Fei continued, “What cos to I consider fortune; what goes away is fate.
Our sect can only adopt an open stance to truly discern the genuine from the false, retaining genuinely upward-striving talents.
If we were like other sects, closed off within ourselves, we’d at best reign supre in this pond.
Even if you tied all the disciples to your side, without eting their aspirations and needs, in crucial tis they would still rely be a disorganized crowd.”
“I understand now!”
After so silent reflection, Old Man Mu’s face cleared of doubts as he grasped the anings in Long Fei’s words.
Indeed, if soone sincerely wished to pursue cultivation, they wouldn’t leave even if you asked them to.
And those with ulterior motives would not truly be loyal, even if you asked them to stay.
Better then to have an Open Gate policy.
Even if these people left, that could still be seen as creating a kindred spirit.
And regarding the pond and ocean theory, he too was deeply moved, realizing that Long Fei’s goals and ambitions were indeed not sothing he could fathom.
He had hoped to turn the Yin Yang Sect into a top-tier Sect in this world, which would have been the best outco.
Little did he know, Long Fei’s ambitions were not confined to this.
He stood to take his leave, planning to gather the other Elders to share Long Fei’s ideas.
Otherwise, there would be dissent among them.
Long Fei saw him to the gate and asked, “By the way, I saw that the female disciples of the Mystic Yin Sect have not left yet.
Didn’t their Sect Master take them with her after she ca here?”
Mu Qingzhu said, “The Sect Master did co, and she had quite the temper.
We kindly went out of our way to help them, but she didn’t even say thank you.
She said that the situation in the Mystic Yin Sect is unclear, so she’s leaving her people here for now.
They will be taken back when the ti is right.”
Long Fei laughed and said, “Don’t take it personally, that old lady must be going through nopause, I can relate.
It’s good that these female cultivators are staying.
Have our disciples interact with them more.
Organize so social gatherings or cultivation exchange conferences now and then.
When young people spend ti together, feelings are bound to develop.
Our Yin Yang Sect doesn’t forbid marriage, and if our disciples want to marry, we fully support it.”
Old Man Mu laughed to himself, thinking that this Sect Hierarch was planning to poach talents from others!
He saluted, smiled, and left.
In the courtyard, Lin Shanshan, munching on an apple, ca out and teased Long Fei with a wicked grin, “Brother-in-law, I heard everything you just said.
One day I’ll tell Little Ya’s mother, and we’ll see how your mother-in-law deals with you.”
Long Fei went over and knocked on her head and said, “What, planning to go against your own family now?”
He went into his room, and Lin Shanshan, rubbing her head, followed behind.
Though the house was one-story, it was very modern inside, feeling just like a villa from the outside world.
The floor was laid with wooden boards, and the furniture had an ancient charm to it.
However, all the furnishings were modern; things like sofas, bathrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms were just like those in the outside world.
Ji Wanyu and Murong Chong had gone back to report to the Divine Sword Sect, leaving only Lin Shanshan in the house.
Earlier, when Long Fei was in a eting, she had chatted with familiar faces like Ding Xue and Li Zhenni about things happening outside.
Everyone had been eagerly waiting for the integration of the two worlds, looking forward to making their mark in the future.
However, now they were told that the two worlds were actually drifting apart.
This news had everyone feeling despondent, now all pondering whether to bring their families from the outside world in or to stay in the outside world and return to a normal life.
The appearance of this world was actually an accident.
For many people, the outside world was what was real.
Few could decisively cut ties with mundane entanglents.
After Long Fei sat down on the sofa, Lin Shanshan wrapped around him anxiously and asked, “Brother-in-law, let’s talk about serious matters!
What’s the most important thing we should be doing now with ti being so urgent?”
Long Fei said with a smile, “Aren’t you quite smart?
Do you really need to ask this kind of question?”
Lin Shanshan, eager to please, said with a flatter, “When it cos to intelligence and knowledge, how dare I boast in front of you!”
She massaged Long Fei’s shoulders and pounded his legs with fawning attentiveness.
Long Fei offered a tip, “Alright, since you’re so earnest, I’ll make a suggestion.
It’s like we have to travel from the modern world to the ancient one; what’s the most essential thing we need to change the ancient world, what do you think?”
Lin Shanshan frowned and counted on her fingers, “Of course, it’s electricity; with electricity, the second technological revolution took off.
The third era, that of internet technology, is also based on the developnt of electrical power.
If it were up to , I’d move all generators in, as many as possible.”
Long Fei shook his head with laughter, “You only want the eggs, not the hen.
Even if we set up these generators, what good will it do when the gates between the two worlds close?
Where will you go shopping then?
The urgent task at hand is to attract talented individuals to join us.
With talent in that area, will you still worry about not having generators, satellites, or the internet?”
Lin Shanshan stared at him blankly before slapping her head, “Right, how could I forget about that.
I was just thinking that only cultivators could co to this world, are there no issues with ordinary people coming here?”
“You show promise!”
Long Fei patted her shoulder and shared so good news, “Today, a batch of skilled talents will be arriving.
Have a good chat with them; it may help with your affairs.”
“Who is it?”
Lin Shanshan’s eyes widened.
Long Fei said, “Disciples from the Mo Family and the Gongsun Family, whose ancestors survived by their craftsmanship.
If we can combine cultivation and technology in the future, making a generator won’t be a problem.
You should know that the current Artifact Refining Technique can even purify steel to the nanoscale, which is much more advanced than the technology outside.”
Lin Shanshan beca excited, hugging his arm and exclaiming, “Brother-in-law, I knew you were the smartest.
How co I never thought that cultivation and technology could be integrated?
There’s no need to keep them so separate!”
Her cheerful deanor ant she kept leaning against Long Fei.
Long Fei cleared his throat and moved back slightly.
“Why are you dodging?”
Lin Shanshan caught up discontentedly, deliberately leaning against him with a mischievious smirk on her face.
