"Disciples, welcome to join the Qi Sect. From now on, you will be a member of our Qi Sect's outer courtyard."

"This sect adheres to meritocracy and selects the best. In the dojo, there is a small test every month, a major test every year, and a general test every four years. All disciples who are successful in their studies can quickly win the opportunity to practice and be promoted.

"

"If you really have no talent and cannot grow, it doesn't matter. As long as you promise to be loyal to our sect, you will still have the opportunity to become a deacon disciple, a workman's apprentice, etc..."

Mid-September, Xianshan Square.

Li Wan and others are also convening the disciples who have officially entered the outer courtyard this time, a total of 335, to give instructions and encouragement.

The deacon disciples of the Dengxian Academy on the stage, after making a declaration, said again: "This time, Elder Mo Yuan will take you back to the mountain gate, enter the dojo to study, and teach you skills. Please come with me on board the boat..."

Under the guidance of other deacons, everyone moved accordingly.

"Now that I'm back to the sect, there are still things to be arranged such as registration, allocation of dojos, spiritual peaks, and qualification inspections. Thank you for your trouble, fellow Taoists."

The daily affairs of the sect required the joint efforts of all the halls under the Sixth Academy. Li Wan briefly inquired and handed over the matter to everyone.

"These people are the first batch of externally recruited disciples of our Qi Sect. They are of great significance. Of course, there will be no mistakes. Please rest assured, Sect Master and elders."

The person in charge of this matter was a Yuan Ying master named Mo Yuan in the sect. He was actually a monk who practiced both Dharma and Weapon Dao. At this time, there was no hope of being promoted to the Tao realm, so he put more energy into business management.

Develop your family, not live forever and live happily ever after.

Soon after, Mo Yuan and other elders and protectors were sitting on the flying boat, preparing to complete the simple training and personnel arrangements for the disciples on the boat, and assign them to various dojos based on their interests and talents.

At the end of September, Li Wan, Miaobao Sanren and others returned to the sect.

Xiao Qingning is on Qinglong Peak, acting as the sect leader.

In these days, Xiao Qingning also learned about the competition between Li Wan and the Lingbao Sect for disciples. According to Li Wan's wishes, he formulated several regulations for reference.

At this time, Li Wan had compiled more parts of his "Great Instruments Manual" and reorganized them according to the four characteristics of attack, defense, assistance, and rare objects. Each major category was divided into different categories.

Knives, swords, flags, flags, stoves, tripods, bottles, jars, seals, fans... all kinds of things.

In order to eliminate the monopoly disadvantages of clans like Lingbao Sect, he did not pass on these skills to each master faction, but centralized them as the public wealth of the sect.

Li Wan once discussed the matter with Xiao Qingning, and Xiao Qingning's words impressed him deeply.

Xiao Qingning said at the time: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Even if the long-cherished wishes and interests are consistent at the time, it is inevitable that future generations will disobey and deviate from the original path. Especially the Qi Sect evolved from the sects of various masters in Tiannan. In the future, they will inevitably bear their own marks.

, to form a family, a husband should be far-sighted and work hard to eliminate differences from the first generation."

Li Wan also believed that, although now, in order to reward the six great masters for participating in the founding of the sect, it is inevitable to separate the power of the six houses to them. But in the future, they must slowly take back the power until the entire Qi sect is integrated.

This situation is somewhat like when Xiao Huan publicly founded the Heavenly Workshop, and all the fellow Taoists who started the business together were ennobled to the elders of the workshop.

In the beginning, they naturally cooperated sincerely and worked together to help each other, but as they developed, they inevitably struggled for power and profit.

Li Wan is now in charge of the position of the sect leader and the Tiannan Master Appraisal Committee. He also has the power to compile and distribute the "Da Qi Zhen Jing". At the beginning, someone suggested that he teach some of the true scriptures to each of the six sects, and the direct lineage of the sect leader retains it.

At most, Li Wan insisted on sharing the skills and teaching them to his disciples separately based on their talents and interests.

This was a majestic conspiracy, and the six sects could not stop it, so that they gradually realized the unification of their martial arts within the sect.

This was the beginning of kneading the entire sect into one ball. This time, Li Wan was even more determined to eliminate the differences between the various factions and further achieve integration, so he also asked Xiao Qingning if he had any good strategies.

Xiao Qingning said: "I am already taking care of this matter. In order to avoid the backlash of various factions, it is better to do it quietly. After a few decades, when these new disciples grow up, they will do it in the name of meritorious tasks and enriching the sect's collection.

To induce them to pay the secret law and take back the common possessions, and then lead the fight for power and position within the sect."

Xiao Qingning's opinion is that instead of competing for the resources of the Dharma and disciples, each of whom should cherish them for themselves, it is better for everyone to mix together and then divide them up.

This is conducive to the scheduling and allocation of resources and creates a beneficial situation.

Since the struggle for power and profit is inevitable, we might as well lead the fight to a less harmful place and not affect the development plan of the entire sect.

Li Wan pondered for a long time, and then decided to do as Xiao Qingning said, and asked: "Let's not mention these for now. What do you think of the fight I made with Fang Bo last time?"

Xiao Qingning said: "This matter is indeed feasible. It can also be formally notified to Lingbao Sect, spread throughout the world, and establish a special treasure-fighting conference, for example, called the Xianshan Competition."

Li Wan asked: "What's the reason?"

Xiao Qingning smiled sweetly, revealing a wisdom and confidence that could not be ignored: "We, the Qi Sect, have nothing yet. In fact, no matter whether we succeed or fail, we can get the glory of Lingbao Sect, the Holy Land of Qi Dao. This kind of thing will not happen after all.

You will suffer a loss, and since my husband is confident, he will not lose to them in the cultivation of disciples, and he can take the opportunity to make the name of Qi Sect, borrow their reputation to build momentum for himself, and even erode Zhongzhou Qi Dao."

"For this matter, we can refer to the treasure fighting competition between the weapon refiners. However, we need to pay more attention to the specific rules in order to create an atmosphere that is beneficial to us."

"For example, the method and scope of the competition can refer to the treasure battle between weapon refiners, but the participants are limited to entry-level disciples of the same class;"

"Another example, if two parties recruit disciples in different places, the quotas must be distributed according to the results of the competition at that conference;"

"In order to disperse the advantages of the top geniuses of Lingbao Sect, we can distinguish between upper and lower grades, and set up separate competitions at each level..."

Xiao Qingning thought deeply about how to use this incident to benefit the sect.

The essence of it is that when recruiting disciples from other places, it is recommended to distribute them according to the results of the competition.

This will make it impossible for Lingbao Sect to make surprise attacks when they come to Tiannan to snatch talents. Instead, they must open registration and recruit openly.

This right of selection cannot be determined at will, but must be determined by the general meeting.

Of course, those wealthy families want to collude with Lingbao Sect in private, and Qi Zong has nothing to do with them. The main thing is to protect the talents of small and medium-sized families and casual cultivators from leaving the country.

In this Xianshan Conference, the Qi Sect has won the support of more monks with its practical methods, which is very beneficial. This will prompt the Lingbao Sect to realize that the name Qi Dao Holy Land may not be as useful as the Landlord.

Digging the foundation of Tiannan Artifact is not necessarily an easy task.

Of course, they can also start with only wealthy families, but most of the wealthy families are difficult to serve, and they also need more geniuses from poor families in order to accumulate talented teachers.

Xiao Qingning smiled and said: "I think if we strike while the iron is hot, Lingbao Sect will agree. After all, they took the initiative to bring up this matter. In their view, we are still very weak."

Li Wan pondered for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you said and send a letter to Lingbao Sect."

Soon, Qi Sect sent a letter to Lingbao Sect to discuss this matter.

As expected by Xiao Qingning, the senior officials of Lingbao Sect were overjoyed that Qi Sect agreed to Fang Bo's proposal.

The Lingbao Sect is not without its wise people, but considering that the matter of the Qi Dao will ultimately belong to the Qi Dao, using their respective skills to engage in a treasure battle and deciding the talent attribution based on their respective levels, it can be said to be fair no matter what.

just.

The Lingbao Sect has not yet degenerated to the point where they dare not even agree to a fair contest, and they are about to use this method to force the Qi Sect to the point of no return, and they will be unable to prevent the loss of talent in the future.

As for Qi Zong recruiting disciples in Zhongzhou and invading their foundation, it is ridiculous to think about it.

How could the Qi Sect be better than the Lingbao Sect? Isn’t this unfounded worry?

Of course, the people of the Lingbao Sect would never allow the Qi Sect to take advantage. They would still argue based on reason and argue over the specific rules of the competition.

Of course they can also see that some conditions are unfavorable to them, such as dividing talents into different levels and competing against each other, and they should strongly oppose it.

They only agreed to distinguish qualifications based on the same class. At most, they would allow juniors to challenge their seniors.

It is simply ridiculous to distinguish the qualifications for participation based on the level of cultivation, and it does not reflect the growth of new disciples.

Considering that it often takes decades for a generation of disciples to grow, and the Lingbao Sect does not often go to Tiannan to recruit talents, such a competition occurs once every twelve years and lasts until sixty years later.

In other words, each such treasure fighting conference can be extended to the previous five sessions, and the disciples of each session can select at least two people to participate with their classmates from the previous sessions.

The monks who come to submit reports will no longer be voluntary, but will be uniformly recruited, evaluated, and ranked in terms of potential, and then the winner of the treasure fighting competition will forcibly collect them according to the number of wins and their respective proportions!

For example, if in a certain conference, two sides compete in ten games and the result is 64, then the side that wins six games will first select six people, then the other side will select four people, and then the winning side will select six people, and so on.

analogy.

In this case, it is no longer up to the monks to make their own choice.

However, it stands to reason that the sect that wins the competition is more willing to select the top-ranked talents, and the talents are also willing to be selected by them.

Such an arrangement not only provides an explanation to the local clan, but also provides another explanation to the monks who come to report. It also takes into account the fairness of the competition and the convenience of division, and is acceptable to both parties.
