Inside the Zhizhuo Hall on Elder Peak, although it was late at night outside, the hall was full of people.
A few hours ago, all the deacons and hall masters of Hua Chen received the 100,000 Fire Urgent Talisman from their leader. This was the first 100,000 Fire Urgent Talisman issued by the sect in a hundred years. Everyone who received the talisman was extremely nervous. Unknown to Hua Chen
What kind of big thing has happened to the sect? Some people are wondering whether the head of the Huachen sect is about to change his position, and some deacons even speculated whether the head of the Huachen sect has died.
Then when we arrived at Zhizhuo Hall, everyone was relieved to see Ouyang De sitting at the front seat in high spirits.
There was a newcomer who was very unfamiliar to everyone, but judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was wearing the clothes of a disciple of the inner sect of the Huachen Sect. Because he stood respectfully behind Ouyang De, the people present did not pay much attention to it, and they guessed that he was an inner disciple of the sect.
The door guard is responsible for protecting Ouyang De's safety.
"Dear colleagues, you are the backbone of Hua Chen. You must be full of doubts when you receive the 100,000 urgent talisman from me today. I will not talk about my affairs first, but first listen to the reports of several deacons to give everyone an understanding of the current situation of Hua Chen.
We have a comprehensive understanding of Chen’s situation. Okay, Feng Zhi, let’s talk about it in advance.”
When Ouyang De saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up and said.
"I, I..." Deacon Feng hesitated and started to stand up, but was motioned by Ouyang De to sit down. He sat awkwardly on the chair, not knowing how to speak. He didn't know he wanted to speak in advance.
"Don't you usually have a lot of criticism to say to me? Today, if you say it in front of everyone, as long as it's not a lie, no matter how ugly the words are, I won't punish you, just say it!" Head Ouyang said with his eyes closed.
"Well, well, everyone knows that I am in charge of foreign affairs procurement. The war broke out in Dingzhou two months ago. The price of medicinal materials, rice grains, tea fruits, magic weapons, and weapon refining materials has doubled to five times.
No wait, I have less than 5,000 mid-grade crystals in my hand right now. The full amount can only sustain Huachen Sect’s expenses for two months. This does not include some special needs and offerings to the Shangfeng Sect in Yuling Prefecture. There is still one month left this month.
The urgent need was specially purchased by the head of the sect. All of these, I think if our sect does not expand its income, the supply of crystal stones will be completely exhausted by the end of this month. Who knows, the inner sect disciples' offerings will not be sent out next month...
..." Deacon Feng wanted to continue, but Ouyang De stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"The special purchase of items is for the retreat of the other four elders and must not be stopped. Deacon Hou, please tell me about your situation!" Ouyang De gently tapped Deacon Hou's position.
"Oh, okay. I am responsible for our own mining and planting as well as outside business operations. We have sixteen mines, including three dense mines. Only one Zhifeng of the spar mine is acceptable, and the other
The two sites are almost worthless and are on the verge of being discontinued. Even the Yi Zhi Peak Crystal Mine, nowadays, because the crystal-eating beasts are becoming more and more rampant, many low-level outer disciples are afraid to dig deeper, and the output is decreasing month by month.
Last month, a first-level crystal-devouring demonic beast actually appeared, killing three outer disciples on the third level of Qi Refining and injuring dozens of others. It caused a trembling noise in Yizhi Peak and a change in the beast's expression. In addition,
The planting industry cannot make ends meet, and Linggu still needs to be purchased from outside. The medicinal materials have been extremely depleted due to over-harvesting all year round. The Dantang has not refined the Foundation Establishment Pill for several months. The reason is simply that the main ingredients are inconsistent and have a few flavors.
The elixir is even facing extinction. Fifty percent of the property outside the door has been lost due to overt and covert competition by other companies, and the rest is also in danger." Deacon Hou said while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Ouyang De's face turned a little green: "Don't make any decisions about the three secret mines. They are the last straw left for us. No one is allowed to touch them unless we are in danger of annihilation. Deacon Sikong, please tell me.
"
"Well, Sect Master, Sikong is incompetent. Among the eight hundred inner disciples of Tiandu Peak, in the past three months, less than ten have advanced to the lower level, and not one has advanced to the upper level. In addition, seven inner disciples have disappeared for no reason.
, I guess they all defected from the sect and fled. The day before yesterday, Wu Xiuquan, a disciple of the inner sect of Tiandu Peak, who was in the middle stage of foundation establishment, defected to Tianyi sect. The three brothers who were pursuing him were injured by his fellow disciples from Tianyi sect.
Nowadays, the hearts of the inner disciples of Tiandu are in a state of confusion..."
"That's enough!" Ouyang De opened his eyes angrily, gritted his teeth, and said angrily:
"Who can give some comments or suggestions now?"
The whole hall was deathly silent, and you could hear the leaves falling.
"If you fart, it will make me feel better!" Ouyang De's old face twitched and he pointed his big finger at the attendees, trembling.
"Since everyone has nothing to say, I will say it. This is why I issued Huachen's first Hundred Thousand Fire Urgent Talisman in a century." Ouyang De paused and scanned everyone's face.
"For Huachen's decline, I, the head of the clan, have no one to blame, and I am the most guilty. I have been in seclusion three times, and I have spent eight million crystals, which is one of them. Regardless of the affairs, hundreds of businesses have been ruined, and this is the second one. In the past hundred years, there have been no disputes among the sects.
I have lost more than 20 peaks, and this is the third one. I am unforgivable! But for the sake of me being a dying person, can you give me another chance? I swear to lead Hua Chen out of this predicament.
!”
"Master——!" Everyone in the hall stood up together with sad expressions on their faces.
"Headmaster Ouyang, what do you want to do? I, Sikong Xing, will take the lead and follow suit without any hesitation. If anyone wants to stop you, please first ask the Fourth Hall of Tiandu Peak and the Supreme Mace in my hand if they agree!" Deacon Sikong was the first to express his stance.
He is at the peak of his cultivation in the final stage of foundation building, and has already stepped into the golden elixir. Even if he encounters ordinary golden elixir monks, he can still stand a chance. There are four halls in Tiandu Peak: Sword Hall, Talisman Hall, Alchemy Hall, and Qi Hall.
It includes almost all the elite forces of the Huachen Sect, especially the Sword Hall and the Fufa Hall. They are composed of specially selected disciples with high qualifications, and all of them are elites who are good at killing.
"We will look forward to seeing you as the leader, and we will never say anything else!" The roar in the hall shook the sky.
"Okay, okay! Since everyone gave me the opportunity, I will talk about my ideas. If everyone thinks it is unreasonable, you can bring it to the table for discussion. Once passed, it will form a decree and must be implemented to the letter.
Before I talk about innovation, I would like to introduce a new person to you, the one next to me. His name is Wei Qiyin. He is an orphan I accidentally found while traveling ten years ago. He is now twenty-one years old.
I have been arranging him to practice in my cave, and he just entered the final stage of foundation building last month." Ouyang De's eyes flashed, and his face was calm.
"What? The final stage of foundation building?" Everyone present was dumbfounded, and Sikong Xing even narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtfully at this man with a thin face, aloofness, and an indescribable aura.
The young man nodded slightly to him.
Ouyang De chuckled and said: "I think everyone must be surprised as to why I have been hiding him to practice. I can tell you now. The reason is - Wei Qiyin has a surname of wood and a spiritual root!"
"Tianlinggen?!" Everyone was stunned again, in disbelief.
"Yes, how about entering the final stage of foundation building in ten years? Aren't those super sects in Yulingzhou engaged in some kind of genius war? The results should be coming soon. They are in the limelight, and Wei Qiyin won't show up now.
It will cause too much of a stir. I don’t care what the other sects in Dongling Mountain think. Anyway, they are almost bullying us in front of the Huachen Mountain. I now declare that Wei Qiyin is the temporary member of our Huachen Sect.
A core disciple!" Ouyang De said sternly.
Deacons, you look at me, I look at you, and finally nodded and said: "Follow the command of the sect leader!" They knew in their hearts that the Tianling Root was a treasure in any sect, and Ouyang De left this hand, which is almost the same as leaving it to him.
The hope of Huachenmen’s re-emergence.
"Okay, it's good that everyone knows that he exists. I don't want him to be exposed until the Yuling Genius War is over. You should all keep your mouth shut. Now let me talk about innovative ideas." Ouyang De glanced at everyone.
, and then announced.
"Idea 1: In view of the large number of outer sect disciples in our sect and the inability to recruit the inner sect, we have decided to hold a sect small competition once a year. The participants of the small competition are all the outer sect disciples from the sixth level to the eighth level of Qi Refining in Huachen. Rewards:
The first twenty people who enter the inner gate will receive a foundation-building pill, and the others will receive a magic weapon of each level."
"Idea 2: Hold a competition for inner disciples every two years. The top three in the competition will be included as core disciples. The core disciples will be treated the same as the elders of the sect, and resources for cultivating immortals will be given priority."
"Three ideas: The rights and obligations of inner disciples. Each disciple must complete one level three or above task or ten level two tasks every year. Anyone who fails to complete the task will be fined five hundred low-level crystal stones for two consecutive days.
If you fail to complete the task within a year, you will be expelled from the inner sect and reduced to an outer sect disciple. The inner sect disciples implement a ranking system. The top 100 will have their crystal salary doubled. They can use various resources of the sect for free and can enter the second floor of the classics room to obtain them.
For those who read Kung Fu books. For more than 100 people, the crystal salary will be reduced by half. The book room can only be read on the first floor, and it is not within the mission period. All expenses must be paid."
"Idea 4: Re-establish the ranking of sect contribution points. This time it must be strictly implemented. Anyone regardless of internal or external sects can enter the ranking. For those who mine, 10% of the products produced will be owned by the miners. For all growers,
The breeder owns 50% of it; anyone who refines alchemy and refines weapons, 60% of it belongs to him after deducting the cost. The income is converted into contribution points according to the market value, and two thousand low-level crystals are equivalent to one contribution point.
, all disciples in our sect can use crystal stones to purchase contribution points, but the contribution points cannot be exchanged for crystal stones. Only the top one hundred disciples can participate in the sect competition."
"Fifth idea: Increase the outer sect's classics room, and place some low-level small spells and cultivation heart score levels in it for the outer sect disciples with the highest contribution points in the sect to access, but they must pay a certain amount of spar or...
A portion of the contribution points will be deducted. The outer disciples will specially add five sets of the lowest level immortal cultivation techniques for the entry disciples to practice."
"Idea six: Determine five ways to enter the inner gate. First: Disciples with excellent spiritual roots selected through Dongling Mountain can directly enter the inner gate to practice. Second: Reach the ninth level of Qi refining before the age of thirty.
Outer disciples of our sect. Third: Those who pass the outer sect competition and enter the top twenty. Fourth: Those who have made special contributions to the sect and are specially promoted. Fifth: Those who have entered the foundation building stage through self-cultivation."
"Idea 7: Inner disciples can participate in hunting or adventure outside the gate at any time. Rewards will be given according to level, and 90% of the gains will be personal income."
"Idea 8: Five gates compete, and the winner will be given a heavy reward. The reward will be determined by the Elders Council."
"Idea 9: This sect has a number of deputy heads. Inner disciples who have made extremely significant contributions to the sect can be appointed as deputy heads. Their status is below that of the core disciples and elders."
"Thought 10: Anyone who defectes will be killed without mercy."
"Okay, these ten ideas are the results of my research for half a month. Let's discuss them together." Ouyang De finished all the innovative ideas in one breath. The faces of the deacons and hall masters were uncertain, but none of them got up.
be opposed to.
Ouyang De saw Mr. Mi opening his mouth several times and then retracting it, and said with a smile: "Haha, Deacon Mi, are you in trouble? There doesn't seem to be any particularly unfavorable terms for you, right?"
Old Man Mi stood up awkwardly, "That's right, Sect Leader, there is an outer disciple who says he can raise second-grade spiritual pigs."
"Oh? A second-grade spiritual pig? This is a good thing! Why don't you let him raise it?" Ouyang De said strangely.
"But this time, he raised ten thousand catties of spiritual pigs by himself. He wants to ask for some contribution from the sect. I don't know how to give it to him?" Old Man Mi said in a dilemma.
"Here! Ten thousand kilograms, so the converted crystals are 30,000 low-level crystals. According to my idea, giving him eight contribution points is not too much." Ouyang De was overjoyed. His terms had just been released, and they could be put to use.
, it’s really timely rain.
"But his name is Tianjiu!"
"Tianjiu???"
"Oh -! I remembered, Tianjiu, your girl mentioned it to me, God of Plague Tianjiu! It was you who arranged to go to Lingzhu Valley, right? It's okay, just reward me. I've already said it, don't
Always thinking about the fifth elder is not good for the fifth elder, and you may not know that over time, it will create inner demons for the fifth elder!"
Of course, Tianjiu could not have expected that the name of Plague God Tianjiu was originally only spread among the outer disciples, but now, from the words of Hua Chen, almost overnight, all Huachen disciples and even the entire Dongling Mountain have become famous.
.
In the early morning, Tianjiu saw off Hu Ben and came to the outside of Luoxia Hall alone. He once again stood at the place where he stood when he first entered the palace two months ago, and pondered for a long time.
Two months passed, and he knew that he would never be able to find his way back within a year. Especially after understanding the basic situation of the world of immortality, he was even more certain that he, a newbie in the world of immortality, would not be able to find his way back even for a hundred years.
If you can find it, you're lucky, maybe you can find it within a thousand years. If he doesn't die by then, he might be at the Mahayana level or above.
"Hey! Boy, what are you so stupid about?" An obscene voice interrupted Tianjiu's thoughts.
"Deacon Mi? You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Tianjiu said.
"Oh? Don't tell me that you want to ask my old man for crystal stones. I don't have crystal stones, but I have a life!" Old Man Mi said with a smile.
"Spar?" Tianjiu was stunned, "No, no, I'm not here to ask for crystals. That's the thing. I'm going back to Lingzhu Valley, but I don't know how to get back. I want you to figure it out."
"Oh, are you scared? Chang Feng scared you?" Old Man Mi smiled evilly.
"How do you know? Xiaomi told you, right?" Tianjiu was noncommittal.
"Hehe, you have to thank me. Xiaomi was the one who asked her to help you out. I wasn't afraid that Chang Feng wouldn't be able to control himself for a moment and beat you, a pig-raising genius, to death. Then where did I come from?
Eat the second-grade Ling pork."
"Tch! You have such good intentions!"
"Believe it or not, I saw you going to He Feng Tang yesterday morning and I knew something was going to happen. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I helped you get your sect contribution points. There are eight points in total. All of them are recorded in
It’s on your books.”
"Eight o'clock?" Tianjiu said in surprise.
"Yes, the sect is very popular now when it comes to contributing points. You can use it to eat, drink, have sex, or sleep. Eight points is equivalent to sixteen thousand low-level crystals. Boy, you are rich. The Outer Gate Inn will definitely treat you as a member from now on.
Look!" Old Man Mi said with a flattering smile.
"Really?" Tianjiu's eyes lit up.
"Of course! I lied to you as a novice in cultivating immortals when I was a monk in the middle stage of foundation building? Are you still in a hurry to return to Lingzhu Valley? Let me make it clear to you, your vacation has not expired yet. In other words, you want me to send you a gift now?
When you go back, you have to deduct crystal stones. If you go back during the holidays, how about the sect sending you back for free?" Old Man Mi said with a sly smile.
Tianjiu stayed for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Go back, I don't want flower spar if I stay here, it's not safe yet."
"Hey, by the way, a boy can be taught, a boy can be taught! You don't want to learn anything [***] anymore. What kind of magic do you want to learn? Just tell the old man, as long as you provide some crystals, you can do it."
I can redeem it for you. Of course, these spells won’t be too high-level, and they won’t be beyond the scope of your rookie. Another important point is that my old man will charge you some hard work!”
"Okay! Deal! However, you have to send me a transmission note for free every month with the latest door information."
"It's a deal! Isn't it just a transmission note? Just don't say that I, Old Man Mi, am wordy." Old Man Mi's face smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
