At this time, Yuan Daozi was holding a semi-annual routine meeting with the three newly promoted elders of Yuan Chun, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Jin in the main hall.

These three were three of the four people who had been consummating the foundation that Yuan Tongzi and Yuan Daozi had talked about, and as they expected, Yuan Chun of the Three Spirit Roots of Fire and Earth and Wood was the first to form a Dan, followed by Yuan Feng, the nephew of Elder Feng, and finally Yuan Jin, the personal disciple of Yuan Daozi, and Yun Quan finally failed to advance due to the death of his life.

Speaking of this routine gathering, it is also a new initiative of the Yuan Dao Sect Master. Fifteen years ago, Qing Guzi got married and became an elder of the Taishang, and before leaving the sect the following year, he did not let Yuan Miaozi become the sect master as Yuan Tongzi and Yuan Daozi imagined, but still maintained the status of Yuan Tongzi's suzerain. Ten years ago, before the Heavenly Tribulation, Yuan Tongzi appointed Yuan Daozi as the next sect master according to custom.

After Yuan Daozi took office, he changed the management model of the previous suzerain's decentralization and reconstructed the centralized model.

During the reign of Yuan Tongzi, the hall master responsibility system under the leadership of the elders was implemented, and the affairs of the sect were first divided into several halls, such as finance, internal affairs, personnel, output, export sales, diplomacy, and foreign family affairs, and the management of each hall was handed over to the elders, and then the elite among the disciples in the foundation building period was selected by the elders as the hall masters. Yuan Tongzi was in charge of personnel and internal affairs, Qing Guzi was in charge of treasury, Yuan Daozi was in charge of production and export, Yuan Miaozi was in charge of foreign affairs, and even the named Elder Feng was in charge of the family affairs under the jurisdiction of the Four Elephants. The elders can make decisions directly within their jurisdiction and report to the Yuantong Sect Master.

When Yuan Daozi was in power, the management power of all the elders was withdrawn, and the original division of the hall was further subdivided into fifteen, and the appointment of the hall master was decided by the sect master, and each hall master was directly responsible to the sect master, and the size of the affairs was decided by the sect master. When encountering major events in the sect, the elders can put forward their own opinions, and finally the sect leader will make a decision. In addition, a biannual ventilation meeting was added, and the sect master informed the elders of all important matters during this time, of course, whether the elders came to attend the meeting was not mandatory.

The major elders also slandered a lot about this, and they were originally in charge of their own stalls, so they would have some of their own benefits, and no matter how much the spirit stones would increase, even the connections would accumulate a lot. With such a move by the current sect master, the elder has really become a dispensable and embarrassing position. After all, the newly promoted elder has no qualifications, although he has a lot of dissatisfaction, but he doesn't dare to openly confront the sect master, and they all think that as long as the moon is not missing me anyway, I don't have to worry about things and have a good time, so I can make up for it.

The reason why he did this, Yuan Dao had his own plans, he was two hundred and ninety-six years old this year, if he couldn't advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, he would only have more than a hundred years of life. But he was injured by the spirit root when he was opening the spirit by an external force, and by the beginning of the Dan period, the expansion of the spirit root had reached the end, and he could not cultivate to the Yuan Infant stage. At the beginning, the cultivation to the middle stage was just to be able to suppress the Yuan Miaozi level in cultivation, and have a better chance to become the sect master. Now that the position of the sect master was in his hands, cultivation had become an extremely secondary matter, so he put all his energy into the governance of the sect, cultivating his cronies, and strengthening his power.

Halfway through the assembly, the outer disciple who was guarding the mountain ran in, walked straight to the sect master, and whispered a few words.

"Oh, Zhang Quan is back to find Elder Yuan Miao, isn't Elder Yuan Miao closing the life and death barrier?"

The disciple saw that the sect master did not shy away from everyone, so he continued: "The disciple also replied to him like this, but he asked me to say that it was about Shi Yizhi, and the disciple went to see Elder Yuan Miao." ”

"Shi Yizhi, who is this?"

"The disciple didn't know, but Elder Yuan Miao was out of the customs as soon as he heard it. ”

"Well, got it, you go down. Hmm, you wait a minute, come over with your ears," Yuan Daozi called out to the disciple who was about to turn around and leave, and whispered to him: "Pay close attention to the movements of Zhang Quan and Elder Yuan Miao, and report any changes immediately!"

The disciple said yes and turned to leave.

"Shi Yizhi, who is this Shi Yizhi?" Yuan Daozi said to himself.

After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with a reason, and when he saw that the other three elders were still staring at him, he felt a little sorry for his gaffe and said, "I can't help but be distracted when I suddenly think of something, and my junior brothers are laughing!"

"Don't dare. Several people said in unison.

"Okay, I'll tell you something......" The rally continued.

Zhang Quan had already arrived at Yuan Miaozi's cave at this time, and the newcomer was dozing at the door. Zhang Quan didn't alarm him and slipped in quietly.

Yuan Miaozi was sitting upright on the futon, and when she saw Zhang Quan, she immediately got up, grabbed his sleeve and asked eagerly, "Have you seen him?"

Zhang Quan nodded and was about to answer, when Yuan Miaozi suddenly made a silent gesture, and then offered a soundproof note, and then asked, "Is he in the Twin Towers?"

Zhang Quan didn't dare to hide it, and gave a detailed account of how he met Shi An, Shi An's conversation with him, etc.

Yuan Miaozi nodded, "I really didn't read it wrong, this child's loyalty and filial piety are absolutely no problem, and the weirdness is probably in Qinggu." At this moment, Yuan Miao also had a lot of resentment towards Qing Guzi, and he didn't even have the title of uncle.

"Twenty years to create a great name in the Twin Towers City, but also to benefit one party, I am now also a foundation building monk, it seems that the 'spirit resistance pill' has worked, my injury was not in vain." Zhang Quan, you will immediately follow me to the Twin Towers City. Yuan Miaozi thought about it and said.

Yuan Miao took Zhang Quan out of the cave mansion and woke up the gatekeeper: "You go to the main peak to meet the sect master, and you say that I have something urgent to do, and I need to go out for a few days, so I won't leave in person." After that, he directly pulled Zhang Quan and drove the sword away.

Two hours later, when Wu Gang saw an old Taoist dressed in a four-elephant Taoist robe, and an old man dressed as a man with white hair walking into the lobby of Yizhige, he remembered the words of the shopkeeper Shi, and asked respectfully: "Are you the predecessor of the four-elephant temple Yuanmiao?"

Seeing that Yuan Miaozi nodded slightly, she continued: "Please go to the back hall to rest first, and I will immediately go and ask Mr. Yizhi to meet you." After that, he instructed the men to prepare refreshments, and at the same time led the two into the back hall.

Yuan Miaozi took advantage of this time to take a closer look at the furnishings of Yizhikaku. The three-zhang-long vermilion counter was full of customers, and more than a dozen guys were receiving him without panic, he nodded slightly and said secretly: "This kid has really grown up, I originally heard Zhang Quan say that his career is developing very well, I can't believe it, but now it seems that it is not easy to control such a big store." The cultivation has not fallen, and the business is also in order, well, it is indeed much better than me. ”

At this moment, the divine sense released by Shi An had already detected the arrival of the ancestor, and he was busy taking the next "Blocking Spirit Pill", waiting for Wu Gang to come to pass. He didn't want to put up a shelf for the shopkeeper, but he just didn't want others to know that he was far beyond the spiritual consciousness of the foundation building monks.

Soon after the two sat down in the back hall, Shi An walked in briskly led by Wu Gang. When he saw Yuan Miaozi, he couldn't help but say that he kowtowed three times, and when Yuan Miaozi hurriedly helped him up, he asked with tears in his eyes: "Master, are you okay?"

Yuan Miaozi's eyes were also red at this time, and she said in a trembling voice: "Silly boy, now you still call me Senior Ancestor? Yun'an, now that you have built a foundation, you should call me Senior Uncle." Come over here, let me take a good look at you. ”

Shi An walked up to Yuan Miaozi and stood up, and said, "Senior Uncle, are you okay all these years? When I was in Kaiyuan City, I heard Master Guzi say that you were seriously injured for me, are you really good now?"
