Chapter 139: Elder Change

At the end of another year, in the main hall of the Heavenly Saint Sect, Lin Xiao watched the people gathered under the seat, in addition to Li Fengyue and the three of them, there were five other disciples, they were all talents cultivated by the Heavenly Saint Sect itself, they were all about forty or fifty years old, they were in the prime of life, but their qualifications were not good, although their cultivation had reached the condensation period, they had already given up their path and were in charge of general affairs, and they were also candidates for the next sect elders.

"Master, it's better for me to preside over this year's sect meeting."

"Elder Lee, please"

"Yes, master, through the hard work of the disciples of my Heavenly Saint Sect, the output of Thousand Spirit Liquor this year has reached one million and seventy thousand copies, except for the seventy thousand copies that were consumed by the sect itself, a total of one million copies have been sold, and the profit is six hundred and forty thousand Xuanjing.

There are already 3,000 acres of Baiwu tea in the grade, distributed in Baiwu Mountain, Qiyun Mountain, Bailing Mountain and other eight mountains, this year to obtain 45,000 catties of spiritual tea, 2,000 catties for internal use, the rest are all sold out, a profit of 220,000 Xuanjing.

The Baiwu tea that is not in the grade has a total of 650,000 catties, 5,000 catties for personal use, 400,000 catties are sold, and 130,000 Xuanjing are profitable, and the sales channels need to be increased.

The output of rice wine is 60,000 catties, 10,000 catties for personal use, 30,000 catties for sale, 60,000 catties of Xuanjing, spiritual rice for personal use, and the rest of the low-level spiritual herbs and elixirs are refined into pills for sale, plus the rest of the forests, making a profit of 50,000 Xuanjing.

The rest is Gongmingfang City, the entrance fee, the shop rent, the management fee, the rent of the cave house, after deducting all the operating expenses, the profit is 230,000 Xuanjing, and the annual income is 135 Xuanjing.

And the expenses of the entire sect, the monthly income of the disciples, the monthly income of the elder Keqing, and their subsidies and bonuses, etc., cost a total of 680,000 Xuanjing, in addition, there are also the operation of several spiritual mountain protection arrays, elixir gardens, trial grounds, and other miscellaneous expenses, a total of 350,000 Xuanjing, and a financial surplus of 32 Xuanjing for the whole year. โ€

"Okay, yes, Baiwu tea and rice wine still have a lot of potential, you can continue to tap the potential and make persistent efforts"

"Yes, the next thing is the situation of the disciples of the sect, from the head of the sect, the Heavenly Saint Sect now has eight Purple Mansion monks, one hundred and eighty-six Condensing Vein Cultivators, and seven of them are above the tenth level of the Condensation Vein, and five of them have the hope of breaking through the Purple Mansion.

There are 576 monks above the 10th level of the Open Pulse, 1,316 people from the 5th to 9th layers of the Open Pulse, 42 mortal disciples who have no inspiration, and the rest are between the first and fifth layers of the Open Pulse.

The strength of our Heavenly Saint Sect has surpassed that of Hongshan Gate, whether it is a high-end disciple or the overall strength, it is only weaker than the Tianhai Gate, according to this momentum, it will be able to catch up with Tianhai Gate in more than ten years."

"Yes, but it's not enough, ten years, I hope that after ten years, the Heavenly Saint Sect will be able to set up a battle hall team above the level of pure condensation vein cultivators, and the number of people will reach five hundred, and this task will be handed over to the five of you."

Lin Xiao nodded, in more than 30 years, Lin Xiao has developed a weak sect from only thirty old, weak, sick and disabled, about to be swallowed up, to today's point, the strength has increased a hundred times, in addition to one Dao Gang, the current Tiansheng Sect is also stronger than the Danyang Sect thirty years ago, and the current Danyang Sect, in addition to their two more Daogang, the strength of the bright face is not much stronger than the Tiansheng Sect, and the Tiansheng Sect has undoubtedly become a behemoth in Tianyun Prefecture.

"Yes, Master"

The five newly promoted elders said in unison.

"The five of you will be the general affairs elders of the Heavenly Saint Sect in the future, the five of them are, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the transmission of gong, I have other arrangements for law enforcement, the five people are headed by Zhang Mingtang, ordinary general affairs, you deal with it yourself, if you don't decide something, the five people will discuss, the five people can't make up their minds, I will deal with it again"

"Yes, Master"

The five of them replied again, Lin Xiao's move had actually weakened the authority of the General Affairs Palace, but the five of them had no opinion, Li Fengyue had come with the head of the sect from the end of the year before, and they were the disciples who were accepted later, and the Heavenly Saint Sect was too big, and they really couldn't manage it alone, even if there were five people now, they still had to be assisted by a lot of deacons.

"In the future, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion will be concurrently served by Elder Bai Chenxi, there will be no major event, Bai Chenxi will not leave the sect, Elder Gong will be concurrently served by Elder Zhou Huaiying, and Elder Law Enforcement will be concurrently served by Bai Zichen, Bai Zichen is now in control of the battle hall, sitting in Qingshan County, the sect is in charge of Bai Ziyu, the elixir garden is in charge of Wang Xiaoxi, assisted by Li Muxue, when the time comes, you will tell them about the change of identity"

"Yes, Master"

"The first thing you five did after taking office was to improve the merit point exchange rules, all along, the head of the sect spared no effort to cultivate disciples, so the merit points were given too easily, resulting in some strategic resources being taken too easily, recently I found that many disciples are very slack, and there is no longer the passion before, which is what the head of this sect does not want to see"

Lin Xiao's next sentence made the five of them look at each other, no one expected Lin Xiao to make such a decision, which meant that the welfare of the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect would be worse in the future, and life would be a little sader.

However, Lin Xiao did not change his original intention, because he really found that many disciples began to have the idea of getting by, anyway, the Heavenly Saint Sect was about to become the second in Tianyun Prefecture, and there was no pressure from a strong enemy.

Especially the Heavenly Saint Sect has many disciples with mortal qualifications, they find that no matter how many resources they consume and how much effort they put in, they can't keep up with those disciples with good qualifications, and after a few years of hard work, they give up the path, and the generous treatment of the Heavenly Saint Sect is not to find a way to improve their cultivation, but to start selling it for enjoyment, which can be seen from the skyrocketing consumption of those white mist tea, thousand spirit wine, and rice wine.

And the most of these disciples are Li Mingyang's first batch of disciples, they have been in the field for thirty years, Li Mingyang has already condensed the twelfth layer of the vein, and is about to break through the Purple Mansion, but there are still people who are circling around the fifth or sixth layer of the open vein, and they don't want to work hard at all, they are just messing around, and the atmosphere of hard work in the Heavenly Saint Sect before is much worse.

Moreover, this kind of atmosphere will continue to deteriorate, and those mortal disciples will lose their fighting spirit if they reach the age of thirty or forty years old, and they will lose their fighting spirit if they fail to achieve certain achievements, which will increase the consumption of the sect.

Therefore, it makes sense that the rest of the sects rarely accept mortal disciples, but there are really some people who can't support the wall, and it will affect the rest of the disciples and corrupt their willpower.

For this kind of person, Lin Xiao even had the idea of clearing them out of the sect, but after asking the system, he broke off the idea, the reason is that the system will deduct points, and the current system rules are that unless the disciples die of illness, the kind that dies of old age, otherwise the disciples who are reduced by the sect will have to deduct points.

"Elder Li, although the three of you have retired from the position of elder, the treatment of the elder is reserved for you, you can stay in the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect to retire, and the Heavenly Saint Sect has the obligation to help you retire in the elderly."

Lin Xiao then said to Li Fengyue and the three of them that when Lin Xiao gave them the choice of whether to go out to start a family, the three of them refused and were willing to stay in the Heavenly Saint Sect, so Lin Xiao couldn't drive them out.

They are all young, the eldest Huang Kaifeng is ninety-three years old this year, maybe he won't live for ten years, ten or twenty years later, they will become the first batch of disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect to sit down for the rest of their lives, within thirty or fifty years, the thirty disciples who stayed back then may not be left, and the withering of the old people makes Lin Xiao extremely heartbroken, these were the comrades-in-arms who fought with him at the beginning.

"Thank you for your mercy"

Li Fengyue and the three of them also replied in unison, staying in the sect, they will be able to take better care of their children and grandchildren, although they have not been elders anymore, but after all, they have been in office for thirty years, and some faces and favors are still there, the three of them have already produced more than 20 monks, and the future will be worry-free within ten years, as for after their deaths, they can't care so much.

"The situation of the sect is over, let's talk about the situation of mortals, there are more than one million mortals in the area of the Heavenly Saint Sect, with the end of the clean-up activities, there are very few large-scale deaths, I hope that the sect will come up with a charter to help mortals develop and increase the mortal population, we occupy a territory of five or six thousand miles, but the population is only one million, it is too little and too little, two-thirds of the territory is vast and sparsely populated, and it is barren, so I hope that the population under our rule can double in fifty years, and reach more than five million mortals in one hundred yearsโ€

"Back to the master, Elder Li had a plan before this plan, but it was delayed for various reasons, the development of mortals is nothing more than money and food, after cutting off the threat of demon beasts and beasts, it is enough to reclaim fertile land, build water conservancy, and create more farming tools, and our current difficulty lies in Tian'an Town.

Tian'an Town is densely populated, although the head of the sect was split once a few years ago, but it was quickly filled up again, and it involved the monks of the Heavenly Saint Sect, which is not easy for us to deal with."

"There's nothing difficult to deal with, I know the affairs of those mortal clans, I have the head of the family to support you, don't worry to do it boldly, especially those mortals who annex fertile land, raise slaves, and do evil, all of them will be disposed of by me and sent to open up the wasteland"

Lin Xiao said with a hint of disgust in his eyes, the world of monks is more simple, most people's purpose is to improve their cultivation, but those mortals who have no meaning in life, all kinds of dirty things are more, the things that those inferior gentry and bullies in the previous life have done, this world has the same, and the bad atmosphere is gradually rising.

However, these mortal clans are very deeply entangled with the sect, and the Heavenly Saint Sect is now very big, in addition to the high-level level, there are quite a number of middle-level managers, small bosses and the like, and there will inevitably be some scum among these people, which has nothing to do with their loyalty to the Heavenly Saint Sect, it is really a matter of nature, people are selfish.

"Understood, boss, we know how to do it"

Zhang Mingtang nodded, it seemed that he, the elder, had to do something to offend people, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Lin Xiao.
