The rules of the Council of Elders mentioned that as long as you reach the Jindan realm, you will have the qualifications to become an honorary elder.

Although everyone knows that with so many infant monks in the sect, it is difficult for the monks of the Jindan realm to be nominated, but there are also some Jindan monks who have that thought.

What if?

What if you can be nominated or even elected?

How many years do you have to struggle?

Although Monk Jindan is much inferior to Monk Yuanying in the realm, he may not be inferior in some aspects.

For example, those elders with real power have their own apprentices, and there are also some Jindan monks among the apprentices.

The master-apprentice relationship is a very intimate relationship in the cultivation realm, just like the father-son relationship in the secular realm.

For those elders with real power, making their apprentices honorary elders is of great benefit to expanding their influence in the sect.

Especially those powerful elders of the Divine Sword Sect.

Due to the large number of Jindan monks in the Divine Sword Sect, if they vote, the people they nominate can basically be guaranteed to pass. Everyone can decide on three honorary elders, which is a great temptation.

Nominating the Yuanying Monk, you may not be able to stand with yourself in many things.

However, by nominating your own apprentices, you can protect your own interests to the greatest extent.

It's all false to say that you don't like it.

But they still suppressed this emotion - now is the time to compete with the Qing Yingzi clan for the control of the Divine Sword Sect, let the Jindan monk be the honorary elder, and he will definitely not be able to kill those Yuanying monks in the elders' meeting.

Moreover, this kind of abuse of power for personal gain is bound to make those Yuanying monks who have not been nominated dissatisfied, and it is not conducive to the unity of the Divine Sword Sect.

It is necessary to nominate the Infant Friar.

It's just that they only have nine nominations for honorary elders, and there are twelve Yuanying monks in this lineage, so it's not good for anyone to lose the election.

The three permanent elders of the Divine Sword Sect had held many secret meetings, and finally made a less offending decision - according to cultivation.

The three infant-born monks with the lowest level of cultivation will not be nominated.

Zhong Yuan, as the head, is the only one among the executive elders of the Council of Elders who does not have the right to nominate, so there is no need for a headache for this kind of thing.

However, when Xu Shentong gave him the list of nominations drawn up by the monks of the Divine Sword Sect, he frowned:

"All of them are Yuanying monks, and there is not a single Jindan nomination, is this blocking the way for Jindan monks to enter the decision-making level, making those Jindan disciples dissatisfied?"

He remembered that in Huaxia, in order to show respect for the status of women, there was a hard and fast rule on the percentage of women in a leadership team, and he felt that the Presbyterian Council should do the same.

Paying attention to the disadvantaged groups, giving them a channel to rise, and giving them the dawn of hope will help the stability of a sect.

Xu Shen Channel: "If they are not satisfied, then they should work hard to cultivate, and if they are promoted to the Yuan Infant as soon as possible, they will naturally have the qualifications to enter the Council of Elders." ”

It's not that he doesn't know that what Zhong Yuan said has a certain truth, but if he wants to give Brother Jindan a place, wouldn't the Yuanying monk who was squeezed out of the quota be very dissatisfied?

Moreover, there are so many Jindan monks, and it is also a headache to choose which one to enter the Council of Elders.

These things belonged to the internal problems of their department, and it would show how selfish the people of the Divine Sword Sect were when they said it, so he didn't tell Zhong Yuan about his troubles.

Zhong Yuan pondered for a while and said, "I still think that you should add a Jindan monk to it, otherwise, if there is a Jindan monk in the nomination of Qing Yingzi's line, you will be very passive." You have to know one thing - many people take sides for their own benefit. If their own interests are not protected, they are likely to change their position. ”

People change.

Whether it is the first line of the Divine Sword Sect or the first line of the Qing Ying Sect, they will eventually merge and become the new disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.

In this process, the flow of people's hearts will shift from the initial difference of factions to the difference of interests.

In the system of the Council of Elders, the Jindan monks have a lot of power over the final composition of the Elders' Council, and if the practices of the Shenjian Sect are not conducive to the interests of the Jindan monks, it is very likely that the Jindan monks who originally belonged to the Shenjian Sect will turn to the Qingyingzi line.

Zhong Yuan's words made Xu Shentong think about it for a long time, took back the list, and said, "Boss, you are right, then I will go back to them and discuss it well." ”

This matter is very big, and it is necessary to take into account the stability and unity of the faction, and it is not something that can be decided by the three elders with real power.

The fifteen Yuanying Cultivators of the Divine Sword Sect all gathered together and discussed this matter.

First of all, Xu Shentong took out the list of honorary elders they had drawn up for everyone to see, and also explained why these people were selected.

According to the cultivation, it is already the maximum fairness, which has been recognized by all the Yuanying monks present.

Then Xu Shentong talked about Zhong Yuan's opinion, in order to let the many Jindan monks in the sect see hope, it is necessary to have the existence of Jindan monks on the list.

After these words were spoken, the Yuan Babies on the list were silent.

The honorary elders are in the Council of Elders, but they have the same voting rights as the head of the presbytery, so who is willing to give up this place?

"The view of several of us is that the people on this list can choose to stay on this list or they can opt out, and we don't force it. ”

Seeing that those people's faces became ugly, Xu Shentong felt a little unhappy in his heart, and put forward the views of the three elders with real power, and said: "The people on the list, if they decide to withdraw, have the right to nominate a Jindan disciple on the list." As for whether you want to quit or not, it's up to you. If no one withdraws, the list is final. ”

The monks on the list heard that they could put candidates on the list themselves after they withdrew, and their faces became less ugly.

In this way, you can launch your own henchmen and disciples, as long as the candidates you launch are obedient enough, there is not much difference from your own in the Council of Elders.

You can also take the opportunity to brush up on a wave of favorability.

Of course, there are also such monks, no one believes in it, only in themselves, so there is no idea of withdrawing from the list.

However, Xu Shentong said that whether to quit or not is all voluntary, so they don't have to worry about being forcibly sold their names, and their hearts have settled down.

This time, Xu Shentong gave the Yuanying monks on the list ten days to think about it, and after ten days, he received their response.

Among the nine people, four chose to withdraw and transferred the position of honorary elder to their trusted apprentices.

The final nominations for the Divine Sword Sect were released, and there were a total of nine people, including five Yuanying Monks and four Jindan Monks.
