After Lin Xiao sent He Mu and his party away, he once again devoted himself to post-war reconstruction, this kind of thing has been experienced many times, everyone has experience, and it has been going on without Lin Xiao presiding.

When Lin Xiao returned to the mountain gate of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the caravan that went to the White Jade City of the Qi State had just returned, brought back a large number of resources, and was unloading.

"The disciple has seen the master"

"No need to be polite, translation, how many resources are in this batch, is it enough for compassionate purposes?"

"Back to the master, I just finished reading the list, I'm afraid it's not enough, but it will take time to distribute the rewards, and in a few days, a batch of those pills and magic weapons that our sect is refining can also come out, and it is estimated that it is almost enough."

"How's the refining speed?"

"Soon, now there are more than 2,000 alchemists, and the pills below the third order can basically be refined in one or two days, as long as the materials can keep up, tens of thousands of pills can be produced in a day, and the rest are about the same, but the refining of magic weapons is slower."

"Well, understand, tell them to continue to maintain this speed, and urge the Danyang Sect to speed up the collection of materials, and within three months, they must complete the post-war pension and reward."

Lin Xiao has been dragging on for almost two months, and another three months will be half a year, and this half a year is enough for Wu Guo to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, we promised Cangguo before the war to buy their materials at a premium..."

"Collect, we can't be untrustworthy, but the speed of acquisition must be controlled, we can't collect it all at once, and we still have a profit at a premium of two percent at the current market price."

Lin Xiao nodded, now the raw materials of the demon beast have plummeted by several percent, even if it is a premium, it will make a profit, if they let them refine it into a pill magic weapon by themselves, then they will make more profits, just to get through the cash flow crisis for this period of time.

"Understood, I know how to do it"

"Well, if the Qianluo country comes to cooperate and buy it in the same way, we are not afraid that they will have the goods, and they will receive as much as they come, and if necessary, you can exchange some exercises and martial arts, I think the exercises and martial arts of each sect are very scarce."

Lin Xiao replied, the Heavenly Saint Sect's martial arts are very complete, with Lin Xiao exchanging them in the system, it is simply open, ordinary sects have to collect them, it is extremely difficult, and there are many controls, often those who sell exercises also have to be restricted in dissemination, but Lin Xiao's side, there is no problem at all.

The Heavenly Saint Sect already has a perfect management system, and Lin Xiao is only sitting in charge of the overall situation when he comes back, and Lin Xiao does not need to do specific things himself, so Lin Xiao is just inspecting one or two.

"Mu Xue, you haven't returned to White Jade City yet?"

When he came to the alchemy room and saw Li Muxue alchemy, Lin Xiao was a little surprised, Li Muxue should be in Baiyu City, right.

"Master, the sect is now scarce in resources, how can it be less of me, Master, you see, the third-order pills, I can refine two furnaces at a time, and the pill rate is ten percent, each pill is crystal clear, perfect efficacy, and Bai Xixi is also refining the pill."

"Thank you for your hard work, when the time comes, I will let the sect compensate you for your merit points"

"It's okay, I'm not lacking in that"

"No, rules are rules, it's okay to owe them first, and now the sect owes me tens of millions of merit points."

Lin Xiao replied, not counting this beast tide war, just the Lingming Pill, the sect will owe Lin Xiao tens of millions of merit points, but no matter how preferential it is, it has to be counted, this is the rule.

"Okay, Master, you have the final say, by the way, Master, do you want me to refine the Inner Pill of the Boar King in your hand into an elixir for you?"

"No need, I don't lack pills, I'll give you this inner pill, and I'll exchange it for treasures when the time comes."

Lin Xiao shook his head, although the Inner Dan of the fifth-order demon beast was valuable, Lin Xiao was not lacking, on the contrary, they were all spiritual light cultivators of the sect, and now they were all poor ghosts, they had almost no money, and they had spent decades of savings in order to break through.

"Then thank you, Master."

"Go back to White Jade City as soon as possible, you need to preside over the overall situation"

"Understood, Master"

"I'm leaving"

Lin Xiao went to other places again, and finally walked to the disciple academy, every time there is a big war, the Heavenly Saint Sect must recruit a group of new disciples, this is Lin Xiao's practice, this time Lin Xiao did not order, Li Yiwen also did so.

Before the war, Lin Xiao's points balance was more than 700,000, but after the war, Lin Xiao's points balance dropped to less than 100,000, which was very dangerous.

After this battle, the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect alone killed nearly 5,000 people, and mobilized more than 20,000 people to participate in the battle, with a death rate of about one-fifth, and the losses far exceeded those of the rest of the sects.

These 5,000 people made Lin Xiao lose 300,000 points, and the Weiguo side was also considered a thousand, but the branch disciples were killed, and only half of the points of their loyalty were deducted, so it was good.

Therefore, what Lin Xiao needs now is to recuperate, vigorously recruit disciples, and accumulate a balance of points, otherwise the Heavenly Saint Sect will not be able to conduct any large-scale wars.

·······

A month later, Lin Xiao convened the high-level deliberations of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and Li Yiwen still presided over the meeting, and Lin Xiao sat in the center as the highest decision-maker.

"Ancestors, senior brothers, there are two topics today, the first is about the summary of the battle of the beast tide, and the second is about the position of this elder.

Let me start with the first one, this time the beast tide war originated from the locust plague, counting from the locust plague, it lasted more than five months, and the disciples of my Heavenly Saint Sect fought bravely to kill the enemy, and at the cost of their own 4,976 people killed and 2,327 seriously injured, they eliminated tens of millions of locust plagues and killed millions of demon beasts.

For this reason, my Heavenly Saint Sect consumed 18 million jin of spiritual rice, 55 million Xuanjing, and more than 67,000 pieces of broken magic weapons, including 40,000 first-order magic weapons..."

Li Yiwen counted the gains and losses of the Heavenly Saint Sect at the beginning, after this battle, the Heavenly Saint Sect consumed a hundred years of savings is not a joke, the loss of personnel and materials is extremely huge, only by telling these data, everyone knows the difficulties of the sect.

"After talking about the loss, let's talk about the post-war reconstruction, the first thing is the pension and reward, after more than three months of planning, the pension for the death of the people in the Wuguo has been issued, and the specific data has been announced, and those who want to see it can go through it themselves.

The battle merits of the scattered cultivation demon hunting list have all been distributed, and the battle merits of each sect began to be distributed seven days ago, and now one-fifth of them have been completed, according to the instructions of Lin Xiao's master, our Heavenly Saint Sect is ranked last, I hope you can appease the disciples, we will not be less than one who should be given, as the overlord of the Martial Kingdom, we should lead by example.

The warring zone belonging to the territory of my Heavenly Saint Sect has been basically rebuilt, and more than two million mortals have returned to their respective villages and towns, cleaning up farmland, repairing water conservancy measures, and replanting food.

However, the problem is still very big, such as the rations of mortals, now the food of mortals is replanted, and the output must be reduced this year, so the taxes can no longer be collected, and there are still a few months before they harvest the grain, and the rations of these months are completely subsidized by us, as well as clothing, ploughing equipment, cattle and horses, salt, and so on.

These gaps need the support of the unconquered area, and the second needs to be purchased, and at the same time it is the spiritual rice that our monks need, the combat zone is the spiritual rice base of my Heavenly Holy Sect, abandoned for half a year, plus the consumption of the beast tide war, so the shortage is huge, and the harvest at the end of the year is at least more than 100 million catties.

Now that the price of spiritual rice in the southwestern part of Nanzhou has skyrocketed, if we buy it out, it will be a great loss to the sect, so after the unanimous decision of the sect, the quota of all levels of monks will be reduced, and the reduction rules are as follows, and the opening period will be changed from the original..."

Li Yiwen then focused on the post-war reconstruction, one of which is to reduce the quota of spiritual rice, the supply of spiritual rice was originally no problem, but after the war, this food is not enough to eat, if all of it is purchased, at least tens of millions of Xuanjing will be spent, which is too cost-effective, so at this time you must tighten your belt, anyway, it will take two or three years at most.

Now most of the disciples of the whole sect have a lot of combat exploits, but there is no shortage of this quota, so there are not many opponents, and the opposition of a few people has no meaning.

The first thing Li Yiwen said was actually decided by the top level of the sect, and there was not much room for negotiation, which could be regarded as a pass, but the second thing that everyone was quite interested in was that Li Yiwen was about to retire.

"After the first thing is finished, let's talk about the third thing, that is, it has something to do with me, the first elder, thanks to Lin Xiao's unabandonment, one hundred and forty years ago, let Li be the first elder, these one hundred and forty years of merits and demerits, Li does not dare to comment, only Lin is the head of the ruling"

"Li Shouzuo has worked hard, and during his tenure, the sect has developed rapidly, and the major matters have been handled properly.

"Li Shouzao is fair, and his disciples are all obedient"

"Li Shouza worked hard and devoted himself to the public, I admire him"

Everyone also did not hesitate to praise them, they all understood that Li Yiwen could retire, Lin Xiao was satisfied, otherwise he would have been kicked down a long time ago.

"Thank you for your praise, then let's talk about the election of the next first elder, according to the previous rules, by the elders, the ancestors recommended candidates, and then sent to the various departments to experience and investigate, eliminate each other, and finally choose two or three people, follow me to deal with things together, Li still has a ten-year term, ten years later, the final winner can be the first elder"

Li Yiwen arched his hand and said, this is also the rule of the sect, you can't wait for him to die before someone takes over, so you have to cultivate the next successor ten years in advance, and when he retires, he still has twenty or thirty years to live, which is enough for the next first elder to grow up.

Everyone here has different thoughts, the first elder has great authority, if Lin Xiao is not there, he can basically say what he says, even if it is the rest of the Daogang, the Lingguang Ancestor cannot directly interfere with the decision of the first elder, which means great benefits, I don't see that Li Wenxin's combat exploits this time are enough to make people blush, although Li Wenxin basically can't enjoy it, but the Li family's decades of cultivation resources don't have to worry.

When it comes to their own interests, everyone will not be enthusiastic, and they immediately put forward candidates who are closely related to themselves.
