After returning to the Divine Sword Sect, Zhong Yuan spent another three years in retreat, which was used to refine the energy in the Guiyuan Sword.

The cultivation of the nine Yuanying cultivators, as well as the cultivation of more than a dozen Jindan cultivators, was not so easy to refine.

Refining these energies was not enough for him to advance to the realm of transforming gods, but it was undoubtedly much closer to the realm of transforming gods.

When he came out, his cultivation was still sealed in the middle of the Yuan Infant, otherwise his cultivation would have improved by a small step in the past few years, and it would be a bit scary to say it.

In the past three years, there has not been much fighting within the Divine Sword Sect - swallowing those three sects is equivalent to giving the Divine Sword Sect a tranquilizer to the manic Divine Sword Sect and calming them down.

Of course, there is still a rivalry between the two factions.

Specifically, it is manifested in the competition for outstanding disciples of the outer sect.

In terms of inner disciples, since most of them were disciples of the original Divine Sword Sect, the people of the Qing Yingzi line could not compete with the first line of the Divine Sword Sect, so they could only choose to win over those outstanding outer disciples.

After the rebuilding of the Divine Sword Sect, it began to recruit disciples from outside, due to the strength of this sect, there were many people who wanted to enter this sect to cultivate, and in just a few years, thousands of disciples from outside the sect were also recruited.

These outer disciples, as long as they enter the foundation building realm, can automatically become inner disciples.

These outer disciples are all newcomers, and they have no intersection with the original Divine Sword Sect, and they can't be loyal to the original Divine Sword Sect, this is where the Qing Yingzi family can operate.

Qing Yingzi still has a few decades to live, at least in these decades, it is impossible for the Yuan Shen Sword Sect to do too much to those people of the Origin God Sword Sect, even if he controls the Council of Elders, he has to follow the rules and can't do whatever he wants.

The people of his line compete for excellent disciples in the outer gate, which is also their right, as long as they do not do it extremely, the first line of the Divine Sword Sect cannot forcibly interfere through the Council of Elders.

The competition for the outstanding disciples of the outer sect is also the struggle for control of the future Elders' Church.

It's laying out the future.

As long as the Jindan monks who are pro-Qing Yingzi become the majority of the sect in the future, when the members of the Council of Elders are elected, the Qing Shenzi family can get a majority of seats and achieve the goal of controlling the Council of Elders.

The way they compete for the outstanding disciples of the outer sect is to provide very intimate guidance on exercises and the supply of cultivation resources to those outstanding outer disciples for various reasons through the elders and deacons in the outer gate.

For example, the elders of the outer sect of the Qing Yingzi family often paid out of their own pockets to hold various competitions in the outer gate to test the cultivation progress of the disciples of the outer sect, and the top 100 could get better rewards.

If such a thing is mentioned in the elders' meeting, it may not be passed, but people pay out of their own pockets, not use the resources of the sect, so they can only be left to him.

This is a conspiracy, and it can indeed increase the enthusiasm of those outer disciples to cultivate, and there is no reason for the original Divine Sword Sect to stop it, otherwise it will make those outer disciples disgusted with them.

The only way for the Divine Sword Sect to deal with it was for the elders of the Divine Sword Sect in the outer gate to hold similar competitions out of their own pockets.

Of course, all the "out-of-pocket pockets" are suspicious, and the elders of the outer sect can't support them to build like that, and it is the teams behind them that actually pay for it.

Smashing resources, smashing exercises, and providing intimate services, it is necessary to win the hearts of those outer disciples.

This can be regarded as a healthy competition, during this time, the outer disciples who entered the Divine Sword Sect were actually very happy, and even those inner disciples were a little jealous, feeling that they had become their mothers.

In the inner gate, the Qing Yingzi line naturally can't compete with the first line of the Divine Sword Sect, but in the outer gate, it is comparable, and even because of the more resources at its disposal, it faintly has the upper hand.

It is said that Qing Yingzi is very satisfied with this situation, and has great confidence in controlling the Divine Sword Sect in the future.

After Zhong Yuan came out, he heard Ling Qinghan tell him these things, but he felt a little crying and laughing.

"That's a good thing. ”

He could only say this to Ling Qinghan.

It is normal for a sect to have factional struggles, and it is not normal to have them.

Even in a small sect like Feixianmen, there is also its own small group, and the reason why it did not break out was because the situation in Yu Country was too difficult, and there was a terrifying opponent in Tianxuanmen there, so they had to unite closely.

The competition between the two major factions of the Divine Sword Sect is still relatively mild, and the means of competition can even be said to be positive, which is indeed not a bad thing for the Divine Sword Sect.

"It's a good thing now, but it won't necessarily be a good thing in the future. Ling Qinghan said, "Now their competition has become more and more excessive, I don't know how many competitions a year, and the candidates who have won the rewards have also expanded from the top 100 to the top 200, the rewards are getting higher and higher, and the number of people is increasing, if this continues, sooner or later there will be a big mess." ”

Although she is the elder of the Flying Immortal Sect, she is also the head lady of the Divine Sword Sect, and she has stayed in the Divine Sword Sect for the past few years, and she also has some concerns about the affairs of the Divine Sword Sect.

It is indeed not possible to continue like this.

Zhong Yuan thought about it for a while and said, "It is true that a line should be drawn for them, they can be operated within that line, but they can't cross the line." ”

At the first meeting of elders after he left the country, he made this point:

"After I got out of the customs, I learned about a situation, that is, there are too many competitions held by the elders of the outer sect for those outer disciples, and there are more than ten large and small competitions in a year, and many outstanding disciples are busy participating in the competitions and becoming professional households in the competition, and neglecting their own cultivation, this is not a good phenomenon, we have to rectify it. ”

As soon as he said this, the elders of the Council of Elders felt a sense of relief.

This kind of competition also has to be smashed with resources, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce, which means that they are taking out more and more resources.

This is not the resources of the sect used, but their own resources, and it hurts to take them out.

The two factions have long wanted to stop such a thing, but no one can speak first, this is something that offends those outer disciples.

Zhong Yuan is detached from the two factions, and it is naturally a very suitable thing for him to open this mouth.

Although the elders of the two factions didn't want to continue to compete, after Zhong Yuan said this, they still had to oppose it, so that they could maintain a good impression in the minds of the outer disciples.

Chi Moran reacted the fastest, and was the first to object: "Master, I think that holding more competitions like this can stimulate the enthusiasm of those disciples to cultivate, which is a very good thing, there is no need to stop it." ”
