Chapter 184: Footsteps

The spiritual veins of the Heavenly Saint Sect Mountain Gate have reached the extreme of the third-order upper grade, and they are about to reach the fourth-order lower grade in one step, but this step is extremely difficult to step on, even if there is a treasure to enhance the spiritual vein, the amount required is also extremely large, and the current financial resources of the Heavenly Saint Sect do not support it.

And if you use Xuanjing to cultivate, it will take a long time, in fact, most of the spiritual veins in the more remote countries of Nanzhou are slowly cultivated, and it will take hundreds of thousands of years, and the rise of the Heavenly Saint Sect is already very, very fast, and in just a few decades, the spiritual veins have been cultivated from the second-order middle grade to the third-order upper grade.

However, the third-order high-grade is still not enough to support the Xuan Qi consumption of the Elixir Garden, there are still hundreds of acres of spiritual fields on the mountain, there are thousands of disciples, and there is a mountain protection array, all of which need Xuan Qi support.

"Master, the fourth-order elixir is already beyond the level of the spiritual veins on the mountain, it is very good to be able to feed it, if you want to grow normally, I need more Xuan Qi, can you move the spiritual vein nodes on the mountain gate to the elixir garden a little?"

"No, the Xuanqi of the mountain gate is already faintly insufficient."

"Then you can only use Xuanjing to cultivate, but the fourth-order elixir can only mature in hundreds of years, even if the head of the sect can shorten the cultivation time, it will take at least seventy or eighty years, so it is not cost-effective."

"Will it lose money?"

"It's about breaking even, but it's equivalent to doing it for nothing, and if you're willing to waste this time, it's better to buy it directly"

"If you want to buy the fourth-order elixir, there is nowhere to buy it, it's not that easy, so let's make a list, see how many Xuanjing are needed to cultivate these fourth-order elixirs in a year, and then make a report, I will ask Zhang Mingtang to give you special approval, in the future, there will be more and more Daogang monks in our sect, and the pills must be self-sufficient, and they can't all rely on external purchases, understand?"

Lin Xiao thought about it, it was done in vain, the fourth-order elixir was an extremely precious material even in Baiyu City, and as soon as it appeared, it would be fought for by a big force like the Bai family, it was not something that could be bought if you wanted to, without enough elixir, the cultivation of Daogang Monk would be extremely slow, which Lin Xiao did not want to see.

If you use the system to redeem, then the demand for points will also increase greatly, Lin Xiao can't support this consumption at all, so he can only cultivate it by himself in reality.

Lin Xiao's development speed is too fast, even if the Heavenly Saint Sect is already very fast, but it still can't keep up with Lin Xiao's speed, this is a very distressing thing, Lin Xiao doesn't know when the Heavenly Saint Sect will be able to keep up with his pace and provide convenience for himself, instead of benefiting the sect everywhere.

"Okay, I see, boss"

"In addition, after Mu Xue leaves, Lingzhifu, you have to find a few more talents for me to come out, Wang Xiaoxi, don't feel discouraged, your qualifications are okay, and you have a chance to break through Daogang."

"The head said that I was joking, I have a medium-grade qualification, and I am already very happy to be able to break through to the Purple Mansion, Dao Gang really can't think about it"

"I don't have ambition, then who do you say that the elixir garden will be handed over to in the future, if I want to be trustworthy, the level is passable, and there must be the potential to break through Daogang, not to mention Mu Xue, she will not become a full-time spirit planter, I will be of great use to her"

"This..."

"Since you don't know, let's solve it, every three years there will be new disciples to get started, you have to teach, to discover talents, to cultivate talents, Lingzhifu, especially a high-level Lingzhifu, is very important to the sect, you know?"

Lin Xiao said to Wang Xiaoxi, she probably doesn't know the importance of the spirit planter, the first- and second-order spirit planters are indeed irrelevant, because the first- and second-order elixirs are very simple, ordinary monks can operate them by looking at the books of the spirit planters, and the spirit planters above the third order are not so simple, but all the big sects, which ones do not have their own independent spirit planters, those fifth- and sixth-order elixirs, who will plant them if they are not spirit planters?

"I know, boss, I'll go to teach when the time comes"

"Okay, I won't bother you"

Lin Xiao nodded, and then went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a turn, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is also one of the most important institutions in the sect, and now it is also very large, with a total of five floors, in the shape of a pagoda, large and small.

The bottom two floors cover an area of about 10,000 square meters, and thousands of bookshelves are all piled up with books and jade slips, these books and jade slips are very complicated, there are special exercises and martial arts areas, there are also miscellaneous travelogues and even some words and the like, and there are also many records of cultivation experience, all of which are placed in different categories.

The first floor is naturally the worst of those things, the Heavenly Saint Sect has collected a lot over the past few decades, and the loot from the attack on Qingshan County has almost filled the first floor.

The number on the second floor is much less, and the exercises and martial arts are all the best in the yellow order, while the third floor is to place some Xuan-level martial arts, the number is even less, only one or two hundred, and there are formations between the stairs on each floor to prohibit blocking, and it is impossible to enter without special people to let them go, once they break through, they will not only trigger the alarm but also be counterattacked by the formation, and they will also be severely punished afterwards.

"Master, there is no difference between the management of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of our Heavenly Saint Sect and the rest of the sects, all the books and jade slips in the hall on the first floor can be watched by all the disciples, and it only takes ten points a day to watch.

The one on the second floor needs to be registered, the transcription needs Xuanjing, and the merit points are required, and the disciples need to make an oath, which cannot be easily spread.

The rules on the third floor are heavier, those who have not made great contributions can not enter, and they need to show instructions from the general affairs hall, and they must go through strict inspection before going up, and the time for each entry shall not exceed one hour, and they shall not touch the jade slip, and there is an introduction next to what they need, and then they will be picked up by a special person, and they must also make an oath when they are taken away, and they must not be easily spread.

The fourth floor is only for disciples above the Purple Mansion to enter, and each time you enter, you must have a warrant from more than three elders..."

"What about me?"

"Ahem, master, of course you don't need it, but you need to notify me every time you come, otherwise the disciples here are lowly in cultivation, and I am afraid that they will not be able to recognize the fake."

"Someone pretended to be me?"

"No, no, but there are people who fake warrants from the General Affairs Palace, and they are caught, and all merit points will be deducted, and they will be fined for ten years."

"Well, does that man have any complaints?"

"Probably not, according to him, he was just curious about what was on the third floor, so he went to see it."

"I know, it's none of your business, I'll take a look at random"

Lin Xiao waved his hand, let the head of the Tibetan Scripture Building leave, and went up to the fourth floor by himself, and the fourth floor was filled with ground-level martial arts, a total of four cheats, two exercises and two martial arts.

The system has a limit of ten books, but Lin Xiao doesn't have so many points at all, so he can't be poor.

Lin Xiao took a look at the exchange records of these four martial arts, for the time being, there was only Li Muxue alone, her merit points were still lent to him by Lin Xiao, now Lin Xiao is the person with the most in the entire sect, the sect owes him millions, if Lin Xiao uses these points, the Heavenly Saint Sect will collapse instantly.

The rest of the Purple Mansion monks still can't exchange points for this ground-level martial arts, not even Bai Chenxi, originally he should have the second most merit points in the Heavenly Saint Sect, but unfortunately he has to take care of the other five people of the Bai family, and he has earned a little merit points to pay off all their debts, and it will take at least two or three years to pay off the debts until now.

Lin Xiao thought about giving these Zifu monks ground-level martial arts first, but Zhang Mingtang didn't agree, saying that the rules of the sect had to be followed, and for the rapid growth of the sect before, the sect had been lending merit points to the disciples on credit, resulting in most of the disciples owing the merit points of the sect, which had actually affected the development of the sect.

Because some disciples didn't want to pay it back at all, they just wanted to borrow resources to improve their cultivation first, and then they borrowed more and more, but one day this person died, according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world, all the previous investments were in vain, then there would be bad debts and bad debts in terms of financial resources, one or two were okay, once the atmosphere was formed, the sect would be finished.

Lin Xiao followed Zhang Mingtang's advice, so he didn't give them merit points on credit, even for ordinary disciples, if they want to borrow on credit, they have to go through the review, all disciples who borrow merit points from the sect on credit, before paying off their debts, are not allowed to travel, they must do certain tasks every year, and if they don't meet the requirements, even the sect will stop paying his monthly salary, post subsidies and the like to repay.

Although this has reduced the development speed of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the risk has also been reduced a lot, and the rules have been established, and there is no square circle without rules, Lin Xiao feels that this is still good.

After reading the Zangjing Pavilion, I went to the Zongmen Treasury to take a look, there are a lot of things in the treasure house, but there are no very precious treasures, most of them are things for daily consumption, and the most important thing is probably the Kaifu Dan, in the core of the treasure house, the management disciples of the treasure house have to count it every day.

There is nothing to look at in it, Lin Xiao looked at it casually and left, now the stall of the sect is bigger, and there are more than 4,000 disciples, but Lin Xiao really remembers no more than 500 people, and most of the faces are unfamiliar.

However, most of the people he was familiar with were burdened with heavy responsibilities, either sitting outside or busy with various things, and the huge Heavenly Saint Sect actually made Lin Xiao feel lonely.

"Or I'll learn a trade?"

Lin Xiao had a whim, he had always wanted to travel outside, but things came one after another, so he had no time to move, but he definitely had to go, and if he traveled, it was still okay to have one or two crafts.

"Alchemy, refining, formation, talisman making, which one is better, or have I learned them all?"

Lin Xiao thought about it for a day, and finally decided to learn it all, but instead of learning together, you have to take your time, learn alchemy first, and when Lin Xiao found Bai Chenxi and told him that he was going to learn alchemy from him, Bai Chenxi was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall.
