Chapter 103: The Monks' Guild
Shi Tianci's plan was to prepare for the establishment of a monks' guild in Tianshui Country. The president of this guild is Shi Tianci, and the vice president is Bai Zhichuan.
All monks, regardless of their background, regardless of sect, regardless of cultivation, as long as they want to join, they can sign up, there is no threshold at all, as long as they are monks.
After joining the guild, the monk can exchange any resources owned by the guild from the guild, such as elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, Taoism, demon golems, ghost golems, etc., and the exchange price is the same as outside. On the surface, this seems to be similar to the Xiuzhen Bazaar, but in fact, there is a world of difference between the two.
First of all, there is the elixir. There is a shortage of elixirs in the bazaar, however, Shi Tianci's modification guild is different, benefiting from Shi Tianci's continuous supply of elixirs, the elixirs here are very complete, and many elixirs that cannot be bought outside are available here, and this alone is very attractive to the monks who cultivate on the spiritual platform and above the spiritual platform.
Secondly, there is Taoism. All families and sects, confined to the view of the portal, have hidden their Taoist skills strictly, for fear that others will know the Tao. In the Monks' Guild, this is not the case at all. Anyone, as long as they have spirit stones, can exchange them for the Dao skills they are interested in, as long as the Monk Guild has them.
In order to enrich the Dao skills in the Monks' Guild, the Guild encourages each family to take out their Dao skills and turn them in as contributions. In this way, you can get contribution points and value points, which can be exchanged for other things, which are consumables.
The contribution value is used to record the contribution, and when the contribution reaches a certain amount, it can be exchanged for guild things at a discount. The greater the contribution value, the greater the discount.
At the beginning, the various families and sects were still hidden, lest their own Taoism be known. Unexpectedly, if you don't take it out, someone else will take it out. There are people and disciples who are short of money who secretly take out the Taoist skills of the sect or the family to exchange them, and when the family and the sect make up their minds to contribute the Taoist arts, they find that they have already been in the guild!
Everyone realized that under this mechanism, the middle and low-level Dao arts and ** could not be kept at all, so they all actively contributed. For a time, the monks' guild's dao skills filled the warehouse. Everyone thought that in this way, each family would have no unique skills, which would affect their strength. Who knew that Lu Dao later found out that they contributed a Dao technique, but they could exchange it for more Dao techniques.
With many Dao techniques, they can compare with each other, learn from each other's strengths, and as a result, their strength does not decrease but rises. The guild has a lot of Taoism, **, it attracts more monks, and with more monks, the more Taoism and ** are brought, which has become a virtuous circle.
Again, it's the magic weapon and the talisman. In the past, each sect and family had its own unique method of casting and making talismans, which could cast different magic vessels and make talismans with different functions. If other sects and families want to get it, they can only buy it at a large price, or simply kill people and seize treasures.
It's different now, many people can't take out so many spirit stones to buy things in the monks' guild, so they use their own magic weapons and talismans to exchange, therefore, in the monks' guild, there are a dazzling array of magic weapons and a variety of talismans for people to choose from. People no longer have to beg for a handy magic weapon, or spend a lot of money.
At the end of the day, the demon golems and ghost golems are even more so. In the past, there were many sects that were not good at subduing demons and catching ghosts, and it was difficult to get suitable demon puppets and ghost puppets. Now, there are other sects to contribute to the guild, and everyone just needs to exchange it. Not only is the process very simple, but there are also a lot of ghost golems and demon golems of all levels in the guild.
These convenient conditions attracted the middle and low-level monks of the Tianshui Kingdom to flock to it. However, these are the only things that can only make the guild a full-fledged cultivation bazaar, and it can't make the monks really have a sense of belonging to the guild, so Shi Tianci still has a move.
He posts a variety of tasks within the guild, including preaching and mentoring. However, unlike in the sect, here, the master does not have the right to insult or punish the disciples, and the disciples have the right to question or even oppose the master's views and ideas. All disciples, regardless of their background, pay tuition fees and learn Taoism, and they are completely equal.
Those children of the family can't find a sense of superiority here at all, because whether you learn well here or not doesn't depend on how many spirit stones or family background you have, but on how hard you work and talent in cultivation.
The common situation in the sect where the children of the family occupy a lot of resources and the children of the common people are poor and white has been completely subverted. Because as long as the children of commoners are willing to help with alchemy, casting, and talisman making, they can get value points that can be exchanged for anything they need. This is very different from the previous situation in the sect, where the distribution of resources was subject to others.
Moreover, in the guild, there are conditions for wanting to learn anything. In the sect, if you worship a master, you have to follow him all the time, the master is a sword cultivator, the disciple is unlikely to be able to alchemy, and the master is good at talismans, and the disciple is unlikely to cast. It's different now, you can learn whatever you want, just go to the corresponding master and sign up.
Such a good cultivation environment naturally makes the children of ordinary people flock to it. And the people of insight in the family, of course, are also willing to let their children and grandchildren come here to learn, instead of just sitting on the mountain and eating empty like before.
The strong people who are willing to preach and teach apprentices can not only get a lot of income, but also get objective contribution value, so that they can enjoy a great discount when they exchange high-grade pills, so there are countless high-level powerhouses who come to sign up to accept apprentices as masters. When there are too many people, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed.
Shi Tianci had already prepared, he stipulated that if he wanted to be a master, he must have enough qualifications, which Shi Tianci called a job title. The guild conducts a title review for these strong people, and if you want to obtain a professional title, you must meet the standards, and this standard system Shi Tianci completely copied the professional title evaluation in the university in the previous life.
First of all, the cultivation must meet the standard, and the disciples of different levels are taught to have different cultivation requirements. A disciple who teaches the level of Ning Hai can have an enchantment realm, and the title of this level is called a teaching assistant. The disciple who teaches the level of mountain building can only do it if he has the realm of Lingtai, and the title of this level is called a lecturer.
The disciple who teaches the level of Feiqiao can only do it if he has the realm of the Faxiang, and the title of this level is called an associate professor. A disciple who teaches the level of enchantment can only do it if he has the realm of difficulty, and the title of this level is called a professor. The higher the title, the higher the income for the same amount of teaching time.
Secondly, the theoretical level should be sufficient. Shi Tianci founded several cultivation journals, including those specializing in Taoism, casting, and alchemy. Whoever wants to have a job title, or get a higher job title, must publish in these journals. Different levels of job titles have different requirements for the number of articles. The higher the title, the more articles are requested.
In addition, it is necessary to master the runes well. Runes are very important for rune seals, rune arrays, alchemy, and reading ancient books of cultivation, and many monks find runes too difficult and generally avoid them. However, if you want to have a professional title, you must pass the guild's unified rune exam. This inspiration came from the foreign language test in Shi Tianci's previous life job title evaluation.
Such a strict selection system naturally determines that the strong people with professional titles are the best masters. The strong teaching team has benefited the disciples a lot, and as a result, the number of people who have come to sign up for the study is simply overwhelming!
As a result, the comprehensive bazaar function, coupled with strong teaching ability, and a perfect task system, have formed an almost perfect cultivation mechanism for the Monks' Guild. Not only did it bring together all the children of the commoners, but it also attracted most of the children of the family, and even some monks who had joined the sect also broke away from the sect and changed their ways.
As the vice president, Bai Zhichuan was the first to fully support the monks' guild. He not only contributed all the Dao techniques of the Bai family, including the False Finger, but also made all the children of the Bai family sign up for the guild.
The Mei family was still waiting to see the jokes at the beginning, and even took out the housekeeping skills, what will they rely on to make a living in the future?
That's not all, the Bai family has obtained a stable supply of elixir from the guild, as well as the required magic weapons and talismans, the gap between the Mei family and the Bai family has gradually become a world of difference, and the Bai family no longer takes the Mei family in their eyes! The Mei family has no choice but to learn from the Bai family and belong to the guild in order to narrow the gap.
In this way, the independence of the Mei family was greatly reduced, and their dependence on the second prince was not so great. Not only the Mei family, but also thousands of families in Tianshui Kingdom have a similar situation, and the strength of the family where the second prince leans on the Great Wall has begun to loosen.
Of course, the biggest hit is Tianshuimen. Joining the Monks' Guild does not require breaking away from the original sect, but with the guild, who is willing to continue to work as a coolie for Tianshuimen? In Tianshuimen, many commoners have worked hard for many years but have not received many spirit stones.
There was no way, Tianshuimen had no choice but to order, strictly prohibiting the disciples from leaving the religion again. However, with this ban, they couldn't even recruit new disciples!
Not only the disciples, but also the strong people of Tianshuimen were also greatly impacted. Yuan Yang, Yuan Wei, Yuan Xu, and Yuan Hua, the four elders of the Dharma Phase realm, ran to the Monks Guild in the first wave, and after Elder Daojing was promoted to the Dharma Phase, he also followed the teacher's instructions and went to find Shi Tianci.
Elder Daoxu then also entered the Dharma Phase, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Elder Xu's practice of acting on behalf of him, so he resigned from his position as head and also went to the guild. When these six Faxiang cultivators arrived at the guild, they found that this place was a hundred times stronger than Tianshuimen. Among other things, they benefit greatly from journals that communicate internally.
In the past, the monks studied their own affairs, and a wise man would make a mistake if he thought about it. With this journal, it is very different, everyone's experience, opinions, skills, and improvements can be taken out and discussed together, and this article alone makes them overjoyed.
Elder Yuanyang's casting technique is certainly unparalleled in the world, but he has also learned a lot of unique skills from others, which has raised his casting level to a higher level, and Elder Yuanyang's alchemy is also more exquisite, and even Elder Yuanyang's talisman technique has also been greatly improved. As a result, these people were all happy, and they all took root in the guild and never returned to Tianshuimen.
The worst thing is the Dao Feng Palace, Elder Yuanyang is gone, Elder Dao Feng is not there, Jiang Wanying and the Golden Boy and Jade Girl have already gone to the guild, and there are only two apprentices of Dao Feng Elder here. Now don't say that there is no elixir, even if there is, no one will refine the elixir!
There was no pill, the first to get angry were Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyu, the two old medicine jars came out and asked, and after knowing that it was the trouble caused by Xukong, they immediately went to him to settle accounts. How dare Elder Xugang see them, they talk about retreat, and refuse to open the door. Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyu had no choice but to go to the Yuan Sheng.
Elder Yuansheng didn't dare to close the door and couldn't go out, otherwise, Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyi would have to smash his door. After being scolded by the two elders, Elder Yuansheng had no choice but to go down the mountain, arrest Dao Zhen, and let him temporarily serve as the head of the house to search for elixir.
Elder Daozhen finally got his wish and became the head of the sect, and he was very happy. As soon as he heard that he wanted to ensure the supply of elixir, he immediately fainted, and the disciples under the sect and the powerhouses in the sect left one after another, and he was even more dumbfounded. With such a big mess, where can he be able to hold it up?
As a result, Dao Zhen was scolded by Yuan Sheng every day, and Yuan Sheng was scolded by Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyu every day, but the elixir still did not land. In the end, Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyu had no choice but to go down the mountain to Shi Tianci's Monks' Guild as professors!
As soon as they left, Elder Xugang breathed a sigh of relief. However, his elixir was also broken, so he naturally wanted to persecute Yuan Sheng and Dao Zhen, and after getting to the bottom, there was a dispute within the sword cultivation lineage. Elder Xugang was angry and decided to go down the mountain to join the guild with a cheeky face. After all, if he can't step into Nirvana, his longevity will be numbered.
It was easy to join the guild, and Shi Tianci did not stop it. However, exchanging pills is not so simple. It is very expensive for ordinary people to exchange pills, and moreover, pills are preferentially supplied to those who have contribution value. Shi Tianci deliberately asked Elder Yuanyang to slow down the refining speed and control the total amount of Fire Phoenix Pill needed to impact Nirvana. In this way, the elixir was only enough for the Void Yu and the Void Elders.
Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyu are both professors, and their contribution value is huge, but Elder Xuyu has no contribution value, so naturally it is his turn to exchange the pill at all. There was no way, he had to evaluate the title as well, and wanted to teach students and get some contribution points. Who knows, the articles he wrote were not published by the internal journal for him at all, saying that everything he wrote was plagiarized.
Elder Xugang was furious, and as a result, people showed him the previous periodicals, and someone had really written them a long time ago. There are a lot of people who know Tianshui Sword Intent, and there are naturally more people who write about this aspect. Not only could the article not be sent, but he was even more dumbfounded in the rune exam. Elder Xuyu and Elder Xuyu borrowed the light of their disciples and grandchildren to make friends with Shi Tianci, and the cheating was over.
In the Xugang Elder Exam, there was no chance to cheat at all, he took the exam alone, and Shi Tianci got fifty invigilators! Fifty people stared at the void one by one, and the small strip he prepared had no chance to take out, and he almost cried urgently! He was old and dizzy, and now let him seriously study the runes from scratch, isn't that a joke?
As a result, Elder Xugang didn't get the title of professor at all, in fact, let alone a professor, even the assistant teachers didn't need him!
Yuan Sheng and Dao Zhen couldn't help but worry, where to get the elixir?
