Li Dazhi jumped up in excitement, and together with the nearby elders and deacons, bowed to the head of the family.
The head of Wan Yun Sect maintains a middle-aged face, a gentle voice when speaking, gentle eyes when looking at people, and rarely gets angry internally, so he is deeply loved by his disciples.
There are rumors within the sect that the leader is not far from the Golden Immortal Immortality Realm and is very likely to become the fourth Golden Immortal in the sect.
——When the previous heads were in office, this was the same thing everyone said.
The real name of the leader is Lu Mo, and his Taoist name is just added with the word "yun", so he calls himself Taoist Yunmo.
"Junior Brother Dazhi, come this way."
"Hey, yes."
Li Dazhi bowed his hands to the elders and deacons around him and warned:
"I would like to ask you all to arrange the transfer arrangements so that there won't be any trouble at Caiyun Peak."
All the immortals bowed their hands to accept the order.
Li Dazhi quickly chased to the leader's side, riding on a cloud with the leader, circling high in the sky.
Disciples from various sects and guests from friendly sects, led by hundreds of outer sect deacons, moved towards Caiyun Peak in an orderly manner, forming three long rivers in the sky.
"Junior Brother Dazhi," the leader sighed with emotion, "you did really well in this competition and made great contributions to the sect."
The leader used some Taoist rhyme to cover it up, so others could not hear the conversation between the two of them.
Li Dazhi put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's the result of the joint efforts of all of you. I just nagged a few more words in their ears, so it doesn't count as much credit."
"I see everything you say and do."
The leader's expression was a bit hard to explain, and he lightly clicked his tongue:
"If nothing else, the way you sit there and talk to the elders and deacons makes you look more like a leader than me."
Li Dazhi's heart skipped a beat.
Bad, bad!
The leader is ordering him!
Li Dazhi hurriedly said: "This...master, please don't misunderstand me. I was just in a hurry and didn't know how to deal with it. I acted in a hurry. Actually..."
"Why are you so panicked?" the leader almost laughed out loud, "I am really complimenting you, there is no deep meaning. You, don't be so reserved all the time, show some courage like a disciple of our ancestor."
Li Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"look."
The leader looked at the white clouds passing by in the distance and said with a smile:
"Today there are five sect leaders here, from Weiyuan Sect, Huanling Sect, Chiyan Sect, Baiguo Mountain, and Tianyuan Sect. They are all the authentic sects of the Immortal Sect with whom we, Wan Yun Sect, have a close friendship. If any family suffers a disaster, the others will
They will lead the crowd to help.
"There are also deputy heads and elders from many sects. Each sect has given our Wanyun Sect enough face.
"Previously, our internal competition only happened once every twenty years, with no fixed date.
"You're right. Let's set a fixed date in the future so that we can invite these guests in advance.
"Junior Brother Dazhi."
"I'm here," Li Dazhi responded hurriedly, "Master, please tell me."
The leader sighed: "Most of these sects have been friendly with us twenty or thirty thousand years ago. Do you know how many sects have disappeared from that time to now, and how many sects are now on the verge of disappearing?
"
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "I really haven't understood this."
"Sixty percent, sixty percent disappeared."
Most of the leaders’ eyes were filled with emotion:
"The three sects that have the deepest friendship with me, the Wanyun Sect, the Weiyuan Sect, the Tianyuan Sect, and the Hongyan Valley, are all now lonely, and their loneliness actually happened within a few thousand years."
Li Dazhi asked in a low voice: "Is it because of some accident?"
"The accident is one aspect, but the sect's difficulty in maintaining itself is the main reason."
The leader smiled and said:
"This is how the world of cultivation is. When new immortals are born, new forces begin to grow. Although the land of Dongzhou is vast, there are certain places where the best immortals will be blessed.
"Especially in the past two or three thousand years, there have been fewer and fewer ancient relics. Hundreds of ethnic groups have been accepted by the two leaders of the Western Sect and have retreated to the land of Xizhou. There has been less and less conflict with our human race.
"Then the forces within the human race changed, and they conquered each other. The old masters fell, and new masters rose up...
"Well, even though we humans are killing each other, isn't this the great way of heaven and earth?"
The leader's eyes were filled with sadness.
Li Dazhi said with emotion: "I heard Ping An mention this. If a sect wants to survive for a long time, it must use various methods to maintain the cohesion of the sect. If people's hearts are broken, the sect will soon decline."
"That's true," the leader asked again, "but do you know how our Wan Yun Sect has managed to remain standing for more than 60,000 years?"
Li Dazhi pondered for a few times and gave his answer: "We have an outer door."
"Oh?" The leader's eyes became brighter, "Why do you feel so?"
Li Dazhi: Because you established the outer sect of Wanyun Sect back then.
Of course, you can't say that.
"This is quite easy to explain."
Li Dazhi smiled and said:
"This sect can be regarded as a business, ahem, a cloth-dying workshop. The inheritance of the skills is the pigment, and the disciples' cultivation realm is the cloth. When dyeing, you should not hold it too tight. The most important thing to pay attention to is
What is the water temperature?
"When disciples put on colorful clothes, they become immortals and disciples within the sect.
"At this time, a question arises: how to accommodate these more and more disciples and how to support them."
The leader’s smile became even more obvious: “Continue talking.”
"Resettlement is more important than feeding. Feeding is actually relatively simple, just make more money."
Li Dazhi cupped his hands and his voice became lighter and lighter:
"If the shopkeepers stock up too much, then the workshop will be so large and there will be so many places where people need to work, it will gradually become crowded and it will be easy to get together and cause trouble.
"Those who are working will feel unhappy when they look at these idle people, and those who were able to work will gradually become lazy.
"But if there are too few people, and other workshops deliberately look for trouble for you, you don't have that many people to work with them. Once you are bullied and you can't retaliate, many people will consider finding another workshop.
"This is what happened.
"Another point is that the wages of the workshop are the basis for maintaining all of this. Even if these disciples do not directly help with the work, they must have a constant supply of wages."
The leader nodded slowly and thought carefully.
Li Dazhi made some preparations and continued to talk:
"When I discussed the structure inside the gate with Ping An, I found that the senior who set up the outer gate of Wanyun Sect was a genius.
"After the outer sect of our Wan Yun Sect was established, we directly established the hierarchy within the sect, allowing the disciples to calmly accept the grading of resources brought by their qualifications.
"The outer sect runs shops in Fang Town, runs the dynasty in the secular world, and does chores in the mountain sect. This can not only accommodate a large number of disciples, but also greatly increase the treasure of our sect.
"Using money to nourish people is an eternal truth."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The leader couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, waving his hands repeatedly:
"It's not as powerful as you said, junior brother. The trick of setting up an outer sect is something I learned from somewhere else."
Li Dazhi blinked: "Ah? Is it the outer sect of Wanyun Sect that you established?"
"well."
The leader sighed and said slowly:
"Our Wan Yun Sect encountered a major accident thousands of years ago. Before the accident, there were fifty-four peaks inside the gate.
"That's what you said.
"At that time, Wan Yun Sect seemed to be in great prosperity, but in fact, due to the increasing number of immortals in each peak, the sect's financial resources only relied on the spiritual mines near the mountain gate and the shops in the town. It was no longer possible to maintain the sect's prosperity, and eventually became a problem.
It became a major disaster of internal strife.
"Thanks to the timely return of the three ancestors of the Golden Immortal who traveled far and wide, the chaos was stopped, the chaos was rectified, and the source was clarified.
"The three ancestors killed several old immortals with tears. Our Wan Yun Sect fell from the fifty-fourth peak to the thirty-sixth peak, and the ranking of the sect in Dongzhou dropped to the tenth place. Previously, our Wan Yun Sect was famous.
There are eight major sects in Dongzhou.
"The poor Taoist was ordered to do something in danger. After walking on thin ice for ten thousand years, the Wan Yun Sect in front of me has finally regained his strength."
Ten thousand years?
Li Dazhi gave a thumbs up.
He really admired this leader.
He has been running a factory for more than 20 years and almost suffered from depression. Senior Brother Yunmo has been in charge of the Wan Yun Sect for ten thousand years. It is not easy to bring a sect that has suffered from civil strife to its current prosperity.
The leader changed the topic: "Junior Brother Dazhi thinks, if our Wan Yun Sect wants to continue to develop, what path should we take?"
Li Dazhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is difficult to expand, but it is better to maintain success."
The leader asked again: "Do you think, Junior Brother Dazhi, the outer sect needs to change next?"
"Some of it."
Li Dazhi said in a deep voice:
"Actually, the main problem with the outer gate now is that the accounts are not very clear. Many immortals inside the gate are too fat. Many shops in the town have chaotic accounts and blind purchases, resulting in the loss of a lot of spiritual stones.
.
"Of course, for us, these are just minor problems."
The leader asked curiously: "Junior brother, when did you notice this?"
Li Dazhi grinned: "Ping An told me."
"oh?"
The leader looked down at the 'Disciple River' that was flying in the air, and found the young Taoist who was walking with Mu Ningning.
Li Dazhi hurriedly said: "Master, you also know the rumors within the sect. They all say what I want, so Ping An is always worried that I will be plotted by others, and has been collecting a lot of information from the sect... Take a look at this,
This is written by Ping An."
Li Dazhi handed a jade talisman to the leader.
The leader took the jade talisman and glanced at it, his eyes filled with light.
This is the plan for the internal competition made by Li Pingan.
"Junior Brother Dazhi," the leader said solemnly, "What do you mean..."
"Master, you came to me today and told me this. I understand more or less what you mean."
Li Dazhi smiled and said:
"I'm not praising my son. He is indeed much better than me in this aspect. I just have some luck and qualifications.
"He seems to be more thoughtful than me."
"So, you two, father and son, are indispensable to our Wan Yun Sect."
The leader smiled and returned the jade talisman to Li Dazhi, and patted Li Dazhi's arm.
"You can practice your work with peace of mind and don't worry about the noise in the house. When your precious son becomes an immortal, I will entrust him with important responsibilities.
"But, Junior Brother Dazhi.
"It's best for Ping An to be behind you now, so as not to attract criticism from others, and don't mention this jade talisman to others."
"Hey, yes, I'll give you a thorough explanation."
Li Dazhi quickly handed over:
"Ping'an is a Taoist idiot, and all he thinks about in his heart is how to practice.
"The two of us don't have any extra thoughts. We are content to live and work in the door. Even if someone intends to target us, we will try our best to take the overall situation into consideration."
"What's the point of settling down and settling down? Wanyun Sect's future will probably depend on your great luck."
The leader smiled and said:
"Let's go, let me introduce you to these leaders.
"The vision of you testing your qualifications in Wan'an City has spread throughout the cultivation world, and we no longer need to hide the news that our Wan Yun Sect has obtained great luck.
“Entering Taoism in middle age, becoming an immortal in three years!
"I can't wait to see their shocked looks! Hahaha!"
…
Li Ping'an watched from a distance as his boss, Mr. Li, was taken to the center of Caiyun Peak's viewing platform to greet the foreign guests.
Obviously, because of the lively competition within the sect, my father's position in the Wanyun Sect has become more stable.
"Senior brother," Mu Ningning said from the side, "Let's go say hello to the senior sisters at Caiyun Peak!"
"Go ahead," Li Ping'an warned, "You will stay there later. You may be targeted by someone on my side."
Mu Ningning blinked and asked, "Senior brother, why don't you come over?"
Li Ping'an:......
There were all female disciples there, and he was indeed too conspicuous in the past.
"You are also a disciple of Caiyun Peak."
Mu Ningning held back her smile, approached Li Ping'an's ear, and said mysteriously:
"Several senior sisters said yesterday that they wanted you to come and meet today. They also prepared an initiation ceremony for you as a new disciple of Caiyun Peak!"
Entry ceremony? What initiation ceremony?
A pink skirt?
Looking at Mu Ningning's expression, Li Ping'an didn't feel like there was anything good going on.
Li Pingan glanced at the array of disciples at Caiyun Peak.
The disciples of Caiyun Peak occupy a small half of the east cloud wall. At a glance, there are flocks of orioles and swallows surrounded by fat and thin birds, just like a hundred flowers blooming, vying for beauty.
——These days, there are no ugly female nuns, only female nuns who are too lazy to fine-tune their appearance.
"It's not convenient for me to go there, forget it."
Li Pingan whispered:
"Junior sister, please help me deal with it and say that I will definitely visit Caiyun Peak after the competition.
"I'll just wait here for the competition to start."
"Okay then," Mu Ningning puffed up her lips, "I'll tell you later, senior brother, I'm sorry for your thin face, just give me the entrance gift!"
Li Ping'an said: "You should pay attention to the shouts of all the deacons. We were promoted on the ranking list and should be on stage first."
"Well, I'll go over first, senior brother, I'll see you later~"
Li Ping'an waved with a smile, and Mu Ningning left happily.
The handover of the arena between Xuyunfeng and Caiyunfeng was successfully completed.
It is said to be a handover, but in fact, the audience changes venues, and the old deacons carry their tables and chairs to the venue of Caiyun Peak, and then the master of Caiyun Peak appears to encourage the disciples.
This is the overall process.
The rules of the Earth Ranking Battle are much more detailed than those of the Human Ranking, and these rules... were made by Li Ping'an.
What Caiyun Peak wants to do is to let the Dibang play more games so that the disciples can have more fun at Caiyun Peak.
In order to meet the organizer's small demand and make the local rankings last longer, Li Ping'an took out the rules of e-sports events that he often read.
Next, more than 60 disciples will first compete in six rounds of 'points competition'. The top 32 will be selected from the points competition, and the top 32 will compete in a group round-robin competition to determine the top 16 to enter the final elimination round and finals.
In this competition, Li Ping'an's personal goal is to break into the top 50 on the Heavenly Ranking.
The main purpose is to make the master happy.
'Master hasn't come yet?'
Li Ping'an looked around and soon found the beautiful figure meditating in the corner of the auditorium.
Half a foot around Qing Su's body seemed to be a restricted area, no one came forward to greet her, and there was a hint of loneliness in the purity.
She doesn't seem to be good at chatting with people.
While Li Ping'an was thinking about it, Wei Yanzi strolled over, squatted beside him, took his arm, and asked in a voice:
"Ping An, do you want to open the market? Make a jackpot or something.
"All the elders in the sect are watching. If you in the Condensing Light Realm can continue to attack the strong with the weak, you will definitely leave a deeper impression on the immortals in the sect.
"There are all the disciples of Caiyun Peak over there. There are so many beautiful female cultivators... You are so handsome when you use a gun."
"Deacon, let's draw lots according to the rules."
Li Pingan was really dumbfounded.
He is not a pervert, and he is past the age where he wants to express himself in front of the opposite sex.
"I understand, hey, what a great opportunity this is!"
Wei Yanzi looked regretful and Shi Shiran left.
As soon as the Yuanxian deacon left, and Li Pingan was about to continue meditating and regulating his breath, a wisp of sound suddenly penetrated into Li Pingan's ears.
He didn't recognize this strange voice.
What the other party said is:
"Xiao Ping'an, work hard in the battle on the Earth Ranking. If you can enter the top ten on the Earth Ranking, I will give you some treasures later."
This? Who?
Is it polite to open your mouth like a small peace?
Suddenly I heard the sound of gongs and drums shaking the heaven and earth, and the melodious string music floated in the clouds.
