After Lin Xiao dealt with the affairs of Xuanyue City, he rushed back to the Martial Kingdom, at this time, it had been almost ten years since the end of the Beast Tide War, and the Martial Kingdom had also recovered from the losses of the Beast Tide, and it would be able to return to the pre-war level in another ten years at most.

The low-level disciples of each sect have been replenished, but the high-level monks who died in the war will not be able to make up for a while, and it will take some time, this situation is the same for all sects.

The Heavenly Saint Sect is now only left with the problem of financial resources, for the sake of the beast tide, it is not nonsense to have exhausted the savings of a hundred years, and it has not been restored until now, the reserve warehouse is still empty, and a lot of future benefits have been embezzled, such as the management fees of the major businesses in Gongming City, Qingfeng Pavilion has already paid the fees for the next hundred years, which is also a manifestation of Wei State's support for Wu State, and the rest of the businesses have not been so long, but it is normal to pay the fees together for ten or twenty years.

However, Lin Xiao is not worried, the Heavenly Saint Sect's earning ability has always been very strong, with the business channels of Baiyu City, the existence of merchants in Baicheng, and the stable production of Qianling Wine and White Mist Tea, the annual profit far exceeds that of the rest of the sects, as long as there is enough time, it will be able to recover sooner or later.

After returning to the sect, Li Yiwen hurriedly took two candidates to meet Lin Xiao, his term of office was less than a year, and Lin Xiao had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Boss, the two candidates are just outside the door, do you see each other?"

"Don't worry, you talk about it first, who is optimistic"

"Boss, this is not in accordance with the rules, my suggestion, no matter what, will have a certain bias"

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here, just you and me, you have to step down from your post to retire, what are you afraid of?"

"Okay, I'll just tell you, the first candidate is called Huang Linyi, a disciple of the Huang family, and his grandfather is the elder Huang Kaifeng who followed the head of the sect back then, the Huang family has not had much power in the sect since Huang Kaifeng, but it is a big family among mortals, and now it has gone through seven generations, there are about 10,000 mortals in the Huang family, and there are only about ten immortal cultivators, and the highest one is the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion.

Huang Kaifeng's grace has long been used up, so this Huang Linyi's path is not smooth, and his qualifications are not good, he has done eleven positions in the sect, and before he was promoted, he was the steward of the Baicheng firm in Baiyucheng, and he made a lot of contributions.

The second candidate is called Nan Xuan, a mortal descendant of the Han Sect, who has no support in the sect, and worshiped a Purple Mansion monk as a teacher in his early years, his master fell in the war between my Wu Kingdom and Lu State, and his master's military exploits and pensions were handed over to him, and Nan Xuan's path was quite smooth.

At the age of one hundred and fifty-six, he broke through the Daogang, and after that, he was also sitting in various places and could take charge of himself, but he was seriously injured in the beast tide war ten years ago, broke an arm, and broke the Dao Path, so he recommended himself to run for the first elder.

These two are the best candidates for the first elder this time, steady and decisive, and should do better than me, and both of them have pros and cons to being the first elder.

Huang Linyi said that if he sat on the first elder, then it would inevitably give the poor disciples in the sect a hope, which would be conducive to uniting the disciples at the bottom, and Nan Xuan's sitting would be conducive to the continuation of our martial arts policy.

Starting from Elder Li Fengyue, the cultivation of several first elders is in the Purple Mansion period, and he has been in office for more than a hundred years, it is inevitable that people will go to tea and cool, this Nan Xuan is only in his early 200s now, even if he can't reach the limit of Daogang's 500 longevity after being seriously injured, he will have at least 250 or 60 years of tenure, and he can better display the strategy of being in charge."

"Huang Linyi, Nan Xuan, Nan Xuan, I have a good impression, he is the commander stationed on a spiritual mountain north of Ghost Crying Mountain, in order to prevent the demon beast army from entering the core hinterland of the martial country, he desperately blocked the demon beasts, and then Bai Zichen went to the rescue to survive, and he didn't exchange the elixir of the severed limbs in the sect?"

Lin Xiao thought about the impression of the two, he was more impressed by Nan Xuan, after all, in this beast tide war, Daogang monks did not die much, and there were not many serious injuries, he was considered one.

In the immortal cultivation world, crippled limbs are not a very big thing, some treasure medicines can be recovered, although these treasure medicines are expensive, but Nan Xuan, a Daogang monk, should not be difficult to change.

"Nan Xuan has no one to support after breaking through Daogang, his net worth is not rich, and he is still a little short of exchanging treasure medicine, and the chance of him consciously breaking through the spiritual light is extremely slim, so he has given up the path by himself, and has fully supplied his resources to his sons and daughters, he has three sons and one daughter, and his qualifications are not good, it is worth mentioning that his wife is his master's daughter back then, and his master is an only daughter, in order to prevent his master's family from cutting off the incense, one of the sons and a daughter are all following their mother's surname, and they can be regarded as affectionate and righteous people"

"There won't be anything involved behind his master's back."

"No, his master was also from a poor family back then, he didn't have anything to rely on, he had a few relatives, but his cultivation was not high, about the identity background investigation of the two of them, the night owl, the law enforcement hall, and the incorruptible hall have a joint investigation report, and the head of the family can check it"

"I see, call them in"

Lin Xiao nodded, and then the two people who had been waiting outside the door for a long time came in, and after saluting, Lin Xiao asked them to sit down and talk.

"Today, the head of this sect came back to solve the matter of this first elder, you have fought your way out of the encirclement from more than 30 candidates, and your skills can be said to be good, which is affirmed by the sect, but this head is also entangled, you are all so good, who do you choose.

So why don't you talk about the blueprint for the campaign, analyze the current situation of the sect and the situation of the martial state, as well as the future strategic direction of the sect and your specific policy policy, who will come first?"

"I'm the ancestor, let the young people go first"

"That's good, Huang Linyi, you say first, your ancestor is also an old man who fought with me, look at how good Elder Huang's descendants are"

"Then Huang Linyi is respectful and not as good as obeying his fate, after the country of Wu, he suppressed several surrounding countries, and Lu State only had one-fifth of the original territory left, although the country of the eclipse was far away, but the combat power was mediocre, and there were few people in the state of Cang Wu Muyang Shouyuan, and the country of Xiang in the east was poor and weak, and my country of Wu had become the head of several countries around.

And in the territory of the Wu Kingdom, my Heavenly Saint Sect is also outstanding, and the original overlord Danyang Sect cannot be compared with my Heavenly Saint Sect, and the future strategy of my Heavenly Saint Sect should be a strategy of one inside and two outside.

Inside, develop financial resources, accumulate financial resources, and unite all sects of the military country, this is not much to say, everything should be followed by Li Shouzuo's strategy and continue to be implemented.

The outsiders are two, one is the White Jade City, Xuanyue City, which is an important wealth of our Wu country, and we should continue to invest resources to increase business and transfuse the country, and the other is the Qianluo country, Xiluo country, the two countries and our military country have formed an alliance, with great interests and make up for each other..."

Huang Lin Yi talked eloquently, and expressed tens of thousands of words of opinions, and his policy was also quite steady, not out of line, in fact, the position of the first elder was indeed not suitable for radical adventures, with the size of the Heavenly Saint Sect, there was no need to take risks to gain benefits.

"Nanxuan, it's your turn"

"Yes, boss, my opinion is similar to Huang Linyi's, I completely agree with what he said, but I also have a little other thoughts"

"Oh, you can talk about it carefully"

"If I am the ruler, regardless of inside and outside, whether it is Baiyu City or Xuanyue City, or Xiluo Kingdom Qianluo Kingdom, everything is for the development of the sect, and its foundation must be based on Gongming City, using various places to transfuse blood for Gongming City, and expanding the influence of Gongming City as the first.

The second is that we can't give up the development of each spiritual mountain, my Heavenly Saint Sect now has two spiritual mountains with fifth-order spiritual veins, but they are far from enough, and these spiritual mountains also have potential to be tapped, especially Baiwu Mountain and Gongming City.

If these two places raise the spiritual vein to the fifth order, the benefits will be great, especially the White Fog Mountain, once the fifth-order spiritual vein is upgraded, its mountain range will inevitably expand, and it may not be able to connect with the sect at that time, but the distance will be much higher, the two are each other's horns, the security of the sect and Gongming City must be improved several times, there is really a big enemy attacking from the west, and its difficulty can be imagined how difficult it is.

The third, external development, it is easier to go south than to the north, the barbarian demon clan, about three hundred years to launch a beast tide, how can my martial country sit still, let him come as he wants, and leave as he wants.

Now the human race and the demon race are all silently developing their strength, so we must take some action, interrupt the development of the demon race, send disciples into the wilderness, open up the wilderness, at least move the buffer zone of the two races to the south for thousands of miles, and within the existing buffer zone, support the small family and the scattered cultivation to gain a foothold, and use this as a barrier to protect the core interests of our martial country·····"

Nan Xuan also expressed his own opinion, in his opinion, it is better to swallow the Lingshan of the rest of the countries than to take the demon beast, and he hates the beast tide even more.

Why does he come and go when he wants to come and go, now the Martial Kingdom does not have the strength to fight on a large scale in the wilderness, but he is not willing to let the demon beasts live too well, so he has to send people to the wilderness and organized demon hunting, kill some important demon clans, and interrupt their development steps.

And move the buffer zone to the south, recruit and support small forces to gain a foothold in the existing buffer zone, these people have not yet been included in the martial state system, and when the beast tide really breaks out, it will also be the cannon fodder of the martial country, which can only provide a barrier for the martial country, so it kills two birds with one stone.

"Very good, both of you are seeking the country, I have written it down, you go down to rest, within a month, the candidate for the first elder will be determined"

Lin Xiao waved his hand and asked people to leave, but Li Yiwen did not leave.

"Li Shouzuo, what do you think of the two of you?"

"They are all the pillars of my Heavenly Saint Sect, and it is difficult to distinguish between them and the inferior"

"Yes, whether it's Nan Xuan or Huang Linyi, it's very good, but Nan Xuan's strategy is more in line with my heart."

"Master, this..."

"Our cooperation with the Qianluo Kingdom and the Xiluo Kingdom is not just as simple as making some money, the Barbarian Demon Clan must be a big disaster for our human race, so it is good to be prepared."

"Understood, I will do Huang Linyi's work this month"

"Well, look at his performance, if he performs well, I will reuse him, I have already thought of a good position for him"

"Don't worry, Huang Linyi's mentality is not so bad"

Li Yiwen nodded, he is still confident in this, at this point, even if he does not sit in the position of the first elder, he will be reused, which is equivalent to compensation.
