"Ambition?"

"Oh! Master, why are you here?"

Li Dazhi jumped up in excitement, and together with the nearby elders and deacons, bowed to the head of the family.

The head of Wan Yun Sect maintains a middle-aged face, a gentle voice when speaking, gentle eyes when looking at people, and rarely gets angry internally, so he is deeply loved by his disciples.

There are rumors within the sect that the leader is not far from the Golden Immortal Immortality Realm and is very likely to become the fourth Golden Immortal in the sect.

——When the previous heads were in office, this was the same thing everyone said.

The real name of the leader is Lu Mo, and his Taoist name is just added with the word "yun", so he calls himself Taoist Yunmo.

"Junior Brother Dazhi, come this way."

"Hey, yes."

Li Dazhi bowed his hands to the elders and deacons around him and warned:

"I would like to ask you all to arrange the transfer arrangements so that there won't be any trouble at Caiyun Peak."

All the immortals bowed their hands to accept the order.

Li Dazhi quickly chased to the leader's side, riding on a cloud with the leader, circling high in the sky.

Disciples from various sects and guests from friendly sects, led by hundreds of outer sect deacons, moved towards Caiyun Peak in an orderly manner, forming three long rivers in the sky.

"Junior Brother Dazhi," the leader sighed with emotion, "you did really well in this competition and made great contributions to the sect."

The leader used some Taoist rhyme to cover it up, so others could not hear the conversation between the two of them.

Li Dazhi put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's the result of the joint efforts of all of you. I just nagged a few more words in their ears, so it doesn't count as much credit."

"I see everything you say and do."

The leader's expression was a bit hard to explain, and he lightly clicked his tongue:

"If nothing else, the way you sit there and talk to the elders and deacons makes you look more like a leader than me."

Li Dazhi's heart skipped a beat.

Bad, bad!

The leader is ordering him!

Li Dazhi hurriedly said: "This...master, please don't misunderstand me. I was just in a hurry and didn't know how to deal with it. I acted in a hurry. Actually..."

"Why are you so panicked?" the leader almost laughed out loud, "I am really complimenting you, there is no deep meaning. You, don't be so reserved all the time, show some courage like a disciple of our ancestor."

Li Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"look."

The leader looked at the white clouds passing by in the distance and said with a smile:

"Today there are five sect leaders here, from Weiyuan Sect, Huanling Sect, Chiyan Sect, Baiguo Mountain, and Tianyuan Sect. They are all the authentic sects of the Immortal Sect with whom we, Wan Yun Sect, have a close friendship. If any family suffers a disaster, the others will

They will lead the crowd to help.

"There are also deputy heads and elders from many sects. Each sect has given our Wanyun Sect enough face.

"Previously, our internal competition only happened once every twenty years, with no fixed date.

"You're right. Let's set a fixed date in the future so that we can invite these guests in advance.

"Junior Brother Dazhi."

"I'm here," Li Dazhi responded hurriedly, "Master, please tell me."

The leader sighed: "Most of these sects have been friendly with us twenty or thirty thousand years ago. Do you know how many sects have disappeared from that time to now, and how many sects are now on the verge of disappearing?

"

Li Dazhi smiled and said: "I really haven't understood this."

"Sixty percent, sixty percent disappeared."

Most of the leaders’ eyes were filled with emotion:

"The three sects that have the deepest friendship with me, the Wanyun Sect, the Weiyuan Sect, the Tianyuan Sect, and the Hongyan Valley, are all now lonely, and their loneliness actually happened within a few thousand years."

Li Dazhi asked in a low voice: "Is it because of some accident?"

"The accident is one aspect, but the sect's difficulty in maintaining itself is the main reason."

The leader smiled and said:

"This is how the world of cultivation is. When new immortals are born, new forces begin to grow. Although the land of Dongzhou is vast, there are certain places where the best immortals will be blessed.

"Especially in the past two or three thousand years, there have been fewer and fewer ancient relics. Hundreds of ethnic groups have been accepted by the two leaders of the Western Sect and have retreated to the land of Xizhou. There has been less and less conflict with our human race.

"Then the forces within the human race changed, and they conquered each other. The old masters fell, and new masters rose up...

"Well, even though we humans are killing each other, isn't this the great way of heaven and earth?"

The leader's eyes were filled with sadness.

Li Dazhi said with emotion: "I heard Ping An mention this. If a sect wants to survive for a long time, it must use various methods to maintain the cohesion of the sect. If people's hearts are broken, the sect will soon decline."

"That's true," the leader asked again, "but do you know how our Wan Yun Sect has managed to remain standing for more than 60,000 years?"

Li Dazhi pondered for a few times and gave his answer: "We have an outer door."

"Oh?" The leader's eyes became brighter, "Why do you feel so?"

Li Dazhi: Because you established the outer sect of Wanyun Sect back then.

Of course, you can't say that.

"This is quite easy to explain."

Li Dazhi smiled and said:

"This sect can be regarded as a business, ahem, a cloth-dying workshop. The inheritance of the skills is the pigment, and the disciples' cultivation realm is the cloth. When dyeing, you should not hold it too tight. The most important thing to pay attention to is

What is the water temperature?

"When disciples put on colorful clothes, they become immortals and disciples within the sect.

"At this time, a question arises: how to accommodate these more and more disciples and how to support them."

The leader’s smile became even more obvious: “Continue talking.”

"Resettlement is more important than feeding. Feeding is actually relatively simple, just make more money."

Li Dazhi cupped his hands and his voice became lighter and lighter:

"If the shopkeepers stock up too much, then the workshop will be so large and there will be so many places where people need to work, it will gradually become crowded and it will be easy to get together and cause trouble.

"Those who are working will feel unhappy when they look at these idle people, and those who were able to work will gradually become lazy.

"But if there are too few people, and other workshops deliberately look for trouble for you, you don't have that many people to work with them. Once you are bullied and you can't retaliate, many people will consider finding another workshop.

"This is what happened.

"Another point is that the wages of the workshop are the basis for maintaining all of this. Even if these disciples do not directly help with the work, they must have a constant supply of wages."

The leader nodded slowly and thought carefully.

Li Dazhi made some preparations and continued to talk:

"When I discussed the structure inside the gate with Ping An, I found that the senior who set up the outer gate of Wanyun Sect was a genius.

"After the outer sect of our Wan Yun Sect was established, we directly established the hierarchy within the sect, allowing the disciples to calmly accept the grading of resources brought by their qualifications.

"The outer sect runs shops in Fang Town, runs the dynasty in the secular world, and does chores in the mountain sect. This can not only accommodate a large number of disciples, but also greatly increase the treasure of our sect.

"Using money to nourish people is an eternal truth."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The leader couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, waving his hands repeatedly:

"It's not as powerful as you said, junior brother. The trick of setting up an outer sect is something I learned from somewhere else."

Li Dazhi blinked: "Ah? Is it the outer sect of Wanyun Sect that you established?"

"well."

The leader sighed and said slowly:

"Our Wan Yun Sect encountered a major accident thousands of years ago. Before the accident, there were fifty-four peaks inside the gate.

"That's what you said.

"At that time, Wan Yun Sect seemed to be in great prosperity, but in fact, due to the increasing number of immortals in each peak, the sect's financial resources only relied on the spiritual mines near the mountain gate and the shops in the town. It was no longer possible to maintain the sect's prosperity, and eventually became a problem.

It became a major disaster of internal strife.

"Thanks to the timely return of the three ancestors of the Golden Immortal who traveled far and wide, the chaos was stopped, the chaos was rectified, and the source was clarified.

"The three ancestors killed several old immortals with tears. Our Wan Yun Sect fell from the fifty-fourth peak to the thirty-sixth peak, and the ranking of the sect in Dongzhou dropped to the tenth place. Previously, our Wan Yun Sect was famous.

There are eight major sects in Dongzhou.

"The poor Taoist was ordered to do something in danger. After walking on thin ice for ten thousand years, the Wan Yun Sect in front of me has finally regained his strength."

Ten thousand years?

Li Dazhi gave a thumbs up.

He really admired this leader.

He has been running a factory for more than 20 years and almost suffered from depression. Senior Brother Yunmo has been in charge of the Wan Yun Sect for ten thousand years. It is not easy to bring a sect that has suffered from civil strife to its current prosperity.

The leader changed the topic: "Junior Brother Dazhi thinks, if our Wan Yun Sect wants to continue to develop, what path should we take?"

Li Dazhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It is difficult to expand, but it is better to maintain success."

The leader asked again: "Do you think, Junior Brother Dazhi, the outer sect needs to change next?"
