Volume 9, Chapter 9 [Recruiting Disciples and the Cave]
The deacons and elders have basically finalized the list, and there will be no changes unless there are special emergencies.
Among them, Wen Renxiu, a female elder, was sent outside by Wang Rui because she specialized in spying on intelligence and was good at disguise magic. Since she rarely stayed in the sect, she simply did not serve as a deacon elder, but she enjoyed
The treatment and status of deacons and elders are just that they do not actively participate in decision-making.
After taking care of the new deacons and elders, Wang Rui also felt a lot more relaxed. Since he took over as the leader, he has been entangled with a large number of sect offices, which has seriously affected his own cultivation.
Although he is now an alchemy monk, and his strength is not bad among alchemy monks, it is far from satisfactory to Wang Rui. His two main skills are the "God of Thunder" as a major and the "Nine Transformations" as a minor.
"Dragon Skills" was due to lack of time, and he simply improved the depth of his spiritual power. He did not practice the spells in the pill formation stage, which affected his further improvement in strength.
In addition, his three major supports, excluding two skills, are the "Great Sun Like Thunder Sword", which also needs further improvement, but he has been unable to practice it because he cannot spare the time.
Now, Wang Rui's dilemma is about to be solved. As long as the new term of deacons and elders officially takes office, coupled with the assistance of the deacons and elders council, the entire Xutian Sect basically does not need to do everything by itself.
It can be said that Wang Rui also found a way to get rid of the shackles of "head". While he can control the development of the sect, he can also get sufficient training time and free time.
In the following days, Wang Rui issued more than a dozen head orders, mainly to appoint more people, and then some designated living areas for the demon monks, and some established corresponding emerging institutions. In short, the Xutian Sect showed a prosperous sect.
situation.
Because of this, Wang Rui became reclusive. Except for the deacons and elders, the rest of the people could hardly see him in person. This also made Lu Lu and other juniors who wanted to see the leader very regretful.
On this day, the Land Rover trio, who had been extremely busy recently, returned to Bai Yao Valley and planned to spend a relaxing and comfortable day. When they came to the wooden house, they heard the long-lost laughter.
"It's senior..." Lu Lu and the others immediately saw the surprised looks in their companions' looks. They still remembered that Wang Rui said that day that as long as the three of them became outer disciples based on their ability, they would be accepted as disciples.
At present, they are already members of the Preparatory Committee of Deacons and Elders. Their status is higher than that of ordinary inner disciples, second only to direct disciples, and they still enjoy the treatment of ordinary elders.
The three of them have now reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training and are about to enter the ranks of foundation-building monks.
He opened the door and walked into the room. Sure enough, he saw Wang Rui and Ling Huxiao drinking opposite each other.
"Senior..." The three Lu Rover people suddenly shouted in surprise.
Wang Rui and Linghu Xiao both looked at them with a somewhat thoughtful look, but Linghu Xiao stroked his beard and said, "You still call me senior, it's time to call me master."
However, the three Lu Rover people were overjoyed, put down what they were holding, and then knelt in front of Wang Rui.
Looking at the three outstanding young people in front of him, Wang Rui looked dazed for a moment. More than two years ago, the three of them were like lost dogs. They were in danger and were almost wiped out by killers sent by the Teng family, a powerful cultivating clan. Fortunately, he felt compassion and passed the bloody test.
Their destiny has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it cannot but be said to be fate.
"I said that day that the three of you could become my disciples by relying on your own abilities to become registered disciples. Today, I will fulfill my promise." Wang Rui stood up and then stretched out his hand to touch the heads of the three of them one by one, treating them as personal disciples.
Meaning.
Lu Lu and the three of them all had sore noses at the moment, but he and Tong Cheng held it back, while Tong Ling didn't and cried profusely.
"My teacher has never told you my true identity. It's not that I concealed it on purpose. If I knew it too early, it would be detrimental to your growth. My teacher is Wang Rui, a monk who forms the core..." Before Wang Rui could finish his words, Lu Hu and the other three
They all looked up at him in surprise, and Tong Ling even forgot to cry.
"Master?" the three asked in unison.
Wang Rui nodded and said: "That's right, I am the head of the Xutian Sect."
The three Lu Lu were stunned. It was not that they had not speculated on Wang Rui's identity, but they did not dare to think about the position of the leader. After all, the leader was a legend in the world of immortality and had inspired them. After all, he had once humbled his name.
The disciple became the leader of a sect, an absolute legend of immortality.
Fortunately, Linghu Xiao was confused when he saw the three little ones at the side, and said with a smile: "Your master has a strange temper and doesn't like to show off. Besides, if you know his identity too early, you will not be able to practice calmly, and you will also be affected by other things."
Do you understand the strange way people look at you?"
"Thank you, Senior Linghu, for reminding me." Lu Hu said gratefully. Tong Cheng and Tong Ling also expressed their gratitude. They really couldn't digest Wang Rui's identity for a while.
Wang Rui knew that it was not advisable to say too much for the time being, so he briefly warned his disciples about the precautions. In fact, there were not many rules. After all, this was Wang Rui's first time accepting disciples, and he only accepted three disciples at once.
Bai Yao Valley was originally Wang Rui's territory, but since Linghu Xiao came in, he liked the environment here very much. In addition, many medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits were planted here, which was very suitable for Linghu Xiao to refine elixirs. At present, Linghu Xiao
We have started recruiting drug boys and plan to make some changes.
Wang Rui took the initiative and gave the Hundred Medicine Valley to Linghu Xiao, and he began to look for a good fiefdom within the sect. The Xutian Sect has expanded rapidly in the past two years, and the sect's territory has expanded by nearly 20%. At present,
Nearly half of them are idle, enough for him to choose from.
That night, Wang Rui, Linghu Xiao, Lu Hu, Tong Cheng and Tong Ling held a small banquet. Under the influence of Wang Rui, even Linghu Xiao now enjoys a meal of earthly food every once in a while.
After learning Wang Rui's true identity, the three Lu Rover people have stricter demands on themselves, and it is also Wang Rui's hope.
As direct disciples, their treatment has been greatly improved again, and after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, they can open an independent cave for themselves. However, Lu Lu and the others do not intend to find a cave by themselves, and still hope to be close to Wang Rui
Next to the mansion.
Three days later, Wang Rui officially announced that he had recruited four direct disciples. The first three were Lu Hu and the others, and the fourth was a very unknown person named Lei Minghe. He had never heard of it, but a small number of people still knew the inside story.
, understand that this Lei Minghe is the blood heir of Lei Wantong, who has retired as the Supreme Elder.
All eleven deacons and elders have taken office. Wang Rui also specially changed their clothes, all of them are bright yellow robes, while everyone in the preparatory meeting wears light yellow robes.
In order to enhance the prestige of the deacon elders, Wang Rui handed over the bound Jun Tian Order to the rotating deacon elders. There are currently four rotating elders, namely Wang Lin, Luo Yunfang, Li He and Baili Xi, each of whom holds Jun.
The heavenly order lasts for three months and will be automatically handed over to the next person after expiration.
The rotating elder who holds the Juntian Order has the most power, but is also supervised by other deacons and elders, and all deacons and elders are supervised by the preparatory committee. Wang Rui will serve as the adjudicator and accept the ruling applications from the deacon elders and the preparatory committee elders. In addition,
Other than that, Wang Rui no longer specifically interferes in sect affairs unless major matters arise.
The deacons and elders are elected every ten years, and the same is true for the preparatory elders. Those who are unworthy in the talent and moral assessment will be deprived of their titles by Wang Rui.
In addition, the sect competition is still held every ten years, but instead of taking the top one hundred like the first time, only the top ten will be taken.
Although they cannot all enter the preparatory meeting, they will become candidates for the preparatory meeting. Once there is a vacancy for elders in the preparatory meeting, they will be replaced. Similarly, if there is a vacancy among the deacons and elders, Wang Rui will select the outstanding ones from the preparatory meeting.
be replaced.
In this way, a healthy talent competition mechanism is formed. All the existing elders will try their best to maintain their status and be wary of others replacing them.
Wang Rui was freed from the heavy sect affairs and had a lot of time to practice.
Located in a secluded place northwest of Xutian Sect, thousands of miles away from Baiyao Valley, there is a pool that has been glowing with the power of thunder and spirit all year round. It is known as the "Thunder Pond". It is surrounded by mountains and forests, and is about
Hundreds of acres in size.
This place was originally a site of the Mingjian Hall, owned by an Elder Jiedan who practiced thunder swordsmanship under the sect. Later, the Mingjian Hall teamed up with the Jade Girl Sect to start a sect war with the Xutian Sect, and was ultimately defeated. The elder
He also fell in the battle between the sects, and Mingjian Hall was forced to sign a humiliating treaty, and the place was assigned to the Xutian Sect.
This thunder pond is very suitable for monks who practice thunder skills to settle here. Within Xutian Sect, there were two suitable monks, one was Cao Wuwu and the other was Wang Rui.
After Cao Wuyou died, he naturally belonged to Wang Rui. As for the few other Lei cultivators in the sect, they were not qualified to occupy this place, nor could they enjoy it.
After accepting Lu Lu and four other people as his direct disciples, Wang Rui came here and started to build a cave for his master and disciples. The scenery here is beautiful and surrounded by mountains and forests, so as long as he simply arranges a blocking formation, he can create his own cave.
world.
At this time, Wang Rui directly controlled the Ice Spirit Sword and Shield to dig out his own cave, which was about a hundred acres in size. He didn't like the living place to be too spacious, so it was mainly used for cultivation.
The cave is divided into several common categories: hall, practice room, general warehouse, magic weapon warehouse, secret book warehouse, and elixir warehouse, and several spaces are reserved.
Later, Wang Rui helped several disciples to dig corresponding single-person caves in several directions of the Leichi. The area was about a hundred acres, with a similar layout. The specific design was completed by Lu Lu and several others.
Later, the master and his disciples built a Hundred Medicine Valley-style wooden house and other living quarters in an open and sunny place near Leichi, and also opened up vegetable fields, medicine gardens, etc. Tong Ling also specially built a spiritual pet garden.
After about three days of hard work, the master and apprentices basically transformed the place. Although it is still far from perfect, the framework has been set up.
