Chapter XXXVII

More than ten days later, Zhu Youdao returned to Yuxiuzong.

During the time he was out, the affairs of the sect were all in charge of the deacon Cheng Su, the former deacon of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he was currently the deacon of the Zongmen General Affairs Hall.

As soon as Zhu Youdao returned to the Zhangmen Cave Mansion, Chengsu came up and reported to him the various situations of the sect during this time.

After listening to the report, Zhu Youdao praised Cheng Su a few words and asked, "Are Ji Fanli and Lorraine back?"

The two men were ordered to go down the mountain and go to the mortal realm to collect disciples.

Chengsu replied: "It's already back, Ji Fanli has accepted a total of twenty-two disciples with spiritual roots, and Lorraine has fewer ones, only fourteen, but Lorraine has accepted a female doll with very good spiritual roots, which is Shuimu Erlinggen!"

Cheng Su said, and handed over a list, which was a list of new disciples this time, including detailed family background, spiritual roots, age, and so on.

Zhu Youdao took it, and saw that the first person on the list wrote:

Jin Jingran, female, nine years old, Shuimu Erlinggen, from Baishan......

On the list, there is only one person from the second spirit root.

He was not surprised, the Heavenly Spirit Root of the Cultivation Realm was extremely rare and hard to find.

Erling roots are also not common, and Lorraine was lucky to be able to find one this time.

There are thirty-six names on the list.

In addition to Jin Jingran, who has two spirit roots, there are five three spirit roots, eleven four spirit roots, and the rest are all five spirit roots.

After reading the list, Zhu Youdao asked Chengsu again: "How are these children arranged?"

"According to the instructions of the head of the sect before you left, we specially built the Rookie Hall, and Senior Brother Meng An served as the deacon of the Rookie Hall, responsible for teaching the new disciples. These children have already started to learn the basics of cultivation, but they haven't started cultivating the exercises yet!"

Zhu Youdao nodded: "Everyone, no matter whether the spiritual root is good or bad, must be treated equally, once every ten days for a small test, once a month for a big test, those with excellent grades will be rewarded, and those who are slack in cultivation will be punished, including those with two spiritual roots, if they are not serious in their cultivation and do not work hard, they will also be severely punished! After a year, if someone can't reach the passing line, he will be demoted to miscellaneous labor, and let such a person go to the spiritual field to farm!"

"Yes!

Zhu Youdao finished talking about the new children, and said: "Ji Fanli and Lorraine have done a good job in this task, and they will be given ...... contribution points to their sect according to the regulations."

An hour later, Cheng Su came out of the Zhangmen Cave Mansion, secretly envious of Ji Fanli and Luo Lin, especially Luo Lin, because of the merit of finding the disciples of the second spiritual root, he was experienced more than a thousand sect contributions at one time.

He, the deacon of the palace of general affairs, has not yet contributed a thousand in a year.

According to Zhu Youdao's regulations, if they bring back a five-spirit root, they will be rewarded with ten contribution points, the fourth spirit root will be rewarded with thirty points, the third spirit root will be rewarded with one hundred points, and the second spirit root will be rewarded with one thousand points!

As for the Heavenly Spirit Root, everyone didn't dare to think about it here!

But Zhu Youdao still gave a promise, if he brought back a Heavenly Spirit Root, the sect would supply all resources infinitely until the foundation was successfully built!

Although Ji Fanli failed to find the second spirit root, he brought back a lot of children, and the contribution value he got was still very rich.

After Chengsu left, Li Yunniang came out of it, and when Zhu Youdao went out, she had been cultivating in the Zhangmen Cave Mansion.

"Yun Niang, how is your cultivation?"

"Husband, my Qi practice is close to perfection, and now I have one that is about to be cultivated, and I can try to build a foundation in half a year at most!"

Zhu Youdao nodded: "You put everything down and cultivate with peace of mind, I know that you are obsessed with the formation path and are also very interested in alchemy, so these are put aside for the time being." You don't have a spiritual root in your body, and you don't have much hope of building a foundation at once, and then you have time to study these!"

Li Yunniang nodded yes.

He talked to Li Yunniang about this outing, and briefly talked about the inheritance of the real demon slayer, and tentatively asked Li Yunniang what she thought of this exercise.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunniang asked very sensitively: "Husband, do you want me to cultivate the 'Blood Demon Refining Dafa'?"

Zhu Youdao said with a smile: "I know you don't like to fight, and you don't like to kill, it mainly depends on your will!"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunniang smiled indifferently: "I don't like to fight, and I don't like to kill, but that doesn't mean I can't fight, I don't dare to kill! It's just that I don't have a spiritual root, and I drag my husband and Xiaohong so much, and I only want to do something that can help you in my heart, so I desperately study the formation path and work hard to learn alchemy! You will never give up on me, how can I be willing to hold you back? If there is a technique that can allow me to keep up with your footsteps, let alone killing, it is to slaughter all living beings, as long as I can stay by your side, I, Li Yunniang, will not frown!"

Zhu Youdao was very moved when he heard this heartfelt word.

I think I Zhu Youdao only longed for a home in my previous life, and in this life, I not only have a warm family, but also two ladies who share life and death and never give up, and can go to Xiantu Avenue hand in hand with him, and my life is a confidant, what regrets are there!

......

The next day, the two teenagers came to Zhu Youdao's cave to bow down.

These two people were Kang Datou and Liu Shan, who had learned refining from him, and they had polished 10,000 stone slabs with their own hands according to Zhu Youdao's requirements, and now they had finally completed their tasks and were waiting for further teaching.

Zhu Youdao summoned them into the cave and took out two picture scrolls: "These are the five most commonly used refining talismans, you take them, compare these, go to the stone slabs you polish to carve the talismans, don't finish carving the 10,000 stone slabs, don't come over to me to refine the technique!"

The two teenagers respectfully took the scroll, kowtowed to each other, and withdrew.

Zhu Youdao is still very satisfied with these two teenagers, these two are not smart, but they are very obedient and can seriously complete the things assigned by the master.

Zhu Youdao believes that talent is important, but from ancient times to the present, there are more talented people, but the proportion of talents who can become talents is not high.

In refining, patience, hard work, and persistence are the most critical factors for success.

......

On this day, Zhu Youdao went to the rookie hall to inspect the teaching of the new disciples, and gave a lot of guidance on the spot.

As soon as he returned from the inspection, he received a summons talisman and was overjoyed.

The spirit rune was sent by Zhu Youwei, and the content was that Zhu Youwei had taken the elite of the Shenxiu Sect to raid the Zhao family in Cold Moon Lake, and successfully incorporated the Zhao family into the Shenxiu Sect system and controlled the Cold Moon Lake area.

The Zhao family of Cold Moon Lake originally had four foundation-building monks, which could be regarded as a strong party.

But the last time the underground dark lake was opened, two foundation-building monks of the Zhao family were killed by a third-order demon beast sneak attack, and the Zhao family's peak strength was lost by half.

Although the Shenxiu Sect has not been established for a long time, it has developed rapidly by annexing and expanding.

Now that he has subdued the Black Sand Shuangsha, there are six foundation building monks who can be used under Zhu Youwei's hands, plus more than 200 members of the Qi cultivation period, relying on a surprise attack to take down the Zhao family, so it is naturally a one-fell swoop.

In order to subdue the power of the Zhao family, Zhu Youwei restrained his subordinates from killing on a large scale, but only captured people and then persuaded them to surrender.

The Zhao family occupied Hanyue Lake and was comfortable for thousands of years, so the bones were not so hard, and Zhu Youwei only let the Black Sand Shuangsha slightly reveal some methods of torturing people with Gu worms, and the two foundation-building monks of the Zhao family softened. These two nodded, and the others had no possibility of resisting.

Zhu Youdao got the news and hurriedly called a meeting of the members of the sect: "I have already received the news that the Shenxiu Sect will soon evacuate this mountain, and the entire Yuxiu Mountain will return to the control of our sect in the future." Summoning you is to discuss how to make use of the places of the other peaks, and everyone will brainstorm and speak freely......"

The meeting lasted for a whole day, and finally under the guidance of Zhu Youdao, the following arrangements were completed:

There are more than ten peaks with spiritual veins in Yuxiu Mountain, and Li Yunniang took action to arrange a defensive mountain protection array, and opened up a spiritual field in it to plant all kinds of spiritual things!

Each mountain peak is sent to send several Qi cultivation period disciples to garrison, the main task is to take care of the spirit plants in the spirit field, if there is an enemy to attack, there is naturally a mountain protection array to resist the enemy, and the garrison only needs to send a spirit talisman to warn for help.

In addition to receiving daily cultivation resources as benefits, stationed disciples can also get generous sect contribution points as rewards.

A few days later, Shenxiuzong really withdrew, and Yuxiuzong began to take over the peaks one by one and open up the spiritual field.

The vigorous large-scale farming plan began to be implemented in Yuxiuzong.

These things are naturally carried out by the deacon of the General Affairs Palace, and after Zhu Youdao set the general direction, he quietly left Yuxiu Mountain alone and returned to the Vermilion Bird Realm.
