After Nie Xianling passed the Taoist Heavenly Path, he did not stir up violent storms in the door again as Zhuang Wudao had guessed. It seemed that everything was back on track and calm, and all undercurrents were forcibly suppressed.
Sanfa Zhenren personally issued a decree on that day and took Nie Xianling under his sect as his direct disciple. He was the second secret disciple of the mountain in the Lichen Sect.
However, due to the Nine Meridians Dharma Conference, Nie Xianling's secret ceremony was postponed until forty-nine days later.
The Jindan Conference, which decided to remove the responsibilities of the Jiu Dao Palace and various gymnasiums from the dust world, also came to an end in just three days.
Yun Lingyue replaced Ye Junquan as the real person in charge. With the popularity that Zhuang Wudao, the second senior brother, had accumulated in the sect, there was no objection from the whole sect, including Ming Cuifeng. According to Sikong Hong's words
He said that this is what everyone expects, and he will not think of anyone else when he is away from the world.
The Xuanling Mountain lineage alone occupies the Jiudao Palace. The Qianji Tower changed its owner and was taken over by Jiuzhen Taoist of Cuiyun Mountain.
However, what is unexpected is that the Ming Cuifeng disciples have not actually been demoted. The positions of Taoist masters and academy directors are the same as in previous years. On the contrary, the number of deacons in the Foundation Establishment realm has increased a lot.
Not only Ming Cuifeng's family, the responsibilities of the other two mountains and seven peaks have also increased a lot. Before the Golden Elixir Conference, they were fighting to the death, but after the Golden Elixir Conference, everyone ended up happy.
Three days later, the entire Lichen Sect's atmosphere changed and became much more harmonious and peaceful. Most of the previous private complaints and complaints among the disciples of the various peaks disappeared. The morale of the two mountains and seven peaks increased.
The Lichen Sect seems to have recreated the scene of hundreds of thousands of disciples united as one thousands of years ago.
However, Zhuang Wudao didn't have much joy. He could probably guess Jiefa's plot, but because of this, his heart was heavy.
"After the Nine Meridians Dharma Conference, the duties of the Lichen Sect's deacons have increased by 90% in total. Six thousand foundation-building monks can be accommodated. The rest of the people who have no duties have also increased their monthly offerings by a full 30%. Thousand
Good deeds provided by the terminal
The tasks also increased by nearly half. As soon as this policy came out, the whole sect was immediately convinced. Even in the Ming Cuifeng lineage, there were many people who praised Master Yun Lingyue's skill in managing the sect as being far superior.
A hundred times better than Master Shishu."
During the Nine Meridians Dharma Assembly, Gu Yueming once chatted with Zhuang Wudao and also mentioned this matter: "Uncle Zhuang, do you know how much my Lichen Sect earns now? In addition, a few years ago, Wumingshan defeated the Yishan Sect.
The harvest has only increased by half compared to previous years, and the number of disciples in the sect has increased by 30,000. I have calculated that with the accumulation of the Lichen Sect over the years, it can only support the current Lichen Sect's twenty
In other words, what you need for the year——”
Gu Yueming's voice paused: "Master Jie, he is ready to sink the boat. If within twenty years, it cannot expand back to the power and momentum it had when the Lichen Sect was at its peak a thousand years ago. It will only be able to bear the burden of nearly ten thousand people in the sect.
The annual salary of the foundation-building monks and hundreds of thousands of qi-training disciples will completely crush the Lichen Sect."
Zhuang Wudao looked calm and unmoved: "Then you think that Master is wrong and shouldn't take such a risk?"
"How is that possible?"
Gu Yueming shook his head, and his words contained a hint of amazement: "I'm just amazed at the courage of Master Jie. With the current power of our Lichen Sect, if we don't advance, we will retreat. Or we can fight hard to force Taiping Road back.
Dominate the southeast, or fall into decline.
It's like Hongfa Zhenren, who wants to expand but is timid, which is the most undesirable. In the future, we may be able to barely keep the inheritance from falling, but we will just rely on others to breathe. What will we look like after we sit down and pass away?
The ancestors of the Chen Sect?"
Zhuang Wudao laughed. After Gu Yueming lost the school battle, he entered the Taoist career without hesitation, which shows his strong character.
Jiefa Zhenren's behavior can be said to be in line with his temperament.
"More duties, more monthly salary, spiritual elixirs and spiritual weapons. Twenty years from now, our Lichen Sect will definitely have more foundations and more golden elixirs. This is the time for our generation to rise up.
Although this disciple only practices Qi realm, he has been feeling very excited recently."
Zhuang Wudao was still noncommittal. He just wondered why Gu Yueming wanted to tell him this.
"Junior Brother Gu Yue has something to say, you can say it clearly."
"In two days, I will go to Dongkaido Palace with Master Yun. It is expected that the foundation will be completed within two years at most."
Gu Yueming flicked his fingertips, and a little silver light appeared, gathered into the shape of a flame, and burned at his fingertips: "If Uncle Master one day takes charge of the East China Sea, Gu Yueming hopes to serve under Uncle Master, I know
Uncle Master is intolerant of worldly things, and although Senior Brother Dou is good at practicing, he is not very clever. Uncle Master knows the abilities of his disciples best, and he is confident that he can be his right-hand man."
Zhuang Wudao looked solemn as he looked at the ball of moon fire at Gu Yueming's fingertips. In the past few years, his cultivation had made rapid progress, but he almost ignored Gu Yueming. Unexpectedly, this person, with his advanced cultivation, could actually
So fast.
The eleventh level building of the Qi Training Realm? In this case, Gu Yueming said that it would be possible to build the foundation within two years.
On the previous trip to Lihan Tiangong, Gu Yueming did not go with him. Instead, he went down the mountain to visit the Zangxuan River area on the orders of Jiefa.
It seems that there was some other chance that made Gu Yueming's cultivation advance to this level.
At this time, Dou Wenlong was sitting aside. After hearing the words, he looked slightly embarrassed, but he did not refute. Just as Gu Yueming said, he did not have enough wit and calmness. In the battle at Wuming Mountain, he was actually panicked and panicked.
.
He also had a vague idea of Gu Yueming's thoughts. Zhuang Wudao's rise in the sect was already unstoppable. Now that Nie Xianling was at Huangji Peak to support him, his momentum was even greater.
Gu Yueming's position is awkward, and his master, Ling Huaying, is no longer around. Although he is looked after by Jie Fa, Yuanshen Zhenren is aloof and ungrounded, which is often inconvenient. It is difficult for Gu Yue's family to take advantage of his influence.
However, Zhuang Wudao has been entangled with Yue City so far. He cannot be an enemy of this uncle, so taking the initiative to get closer is the best strategy.
At this moment, everyone in the master's sect attaches great importance to Zhuang Wudao, and will never allow him to be in any danger. Once the battle in the East China Sea breaks out, there will be no danger of death next to this young master uncle.
Zhuang Wudao was indeed moved, but he did not agree immediately. He only shook his head and said: "Where can I get my turn to go to the East China Sea with all the masters and uncles in Yunfa?"
This time, there are a total of thirty-six Golden Elixir monks traveling to the East China Sea with Yunfa. The Golden Elixir Conference has only been over for three days before they have to leave.
Jiefa is extremely concerned about the situation in the East China Sea, and grand sect events such as the Nine Meridians Dharma Assembly are also placed on the back burner.
In addition, the two immortals Hongfa and Yangfa will also go to the East China Sea to stay after the end of the Nine Meridians Dharma Assembly. They will be on guard against the Taiping Road in the north and the Yuanshen immortals will go south.
Mingcui Peak and Qiyang Peak have a total of nearly 1,300 foundation-building monks this time, holding positions on the seventy-two islands in the East China Sea.
This is also the strategy of Master Jiefa. Regardless of the battle in the East China Sea, these two masters have some reservations. Even if they still have a heart for Xuanling Mountain to control the power of Lichen, they still need to carefully protect the disciples of their own branches.
Half of the elites of an elite group gathered in the East China Sea. In a short period of time, it was indeed not his turn to go to the East China Sea to take charge.
Gu Yueming didn't say much. He just smiled and then returned to silence. He had already said that if such a day happened in the future, Zhuang Wudao would naturally think of him. If he continued to talk, it would be nonsense.
At this time, during the Nine Meridians Dharma Assembly, it was already the turn of the various golden elixir monks in the sect to discuss the method of building the foundation and condensing the elixir.
Zhuang Wudao didn't pay attention to listen, but what he looked at was the girl wearing a green Taoist robe next to Sanfa.
Nie Xianling's celestial beauty, even if she only wears an ordinary disciple's robe, is still so radiant and unparalleled that all the women around her are reduced to mere foils.
But at this moment, he was sitting quietly behind Sanfa Zhenren, without squinting his eyes. In this Dharma Assembly Hall, even though he was watched by thousands of people, he was still calm and composed. Tens of thousands of people from the Lichen Sect under the cloud platform,
They were all regarded as vegetation and turned a blind eye,
Only when he sensed Zhuang Wudao's gaze did he turn his head and smile sweetly at him.
Zhuang Wudao was calm and calm on the surface, but he felt extremely complicated in his heart. He was happy on behalf of Nie Xianling? He couldn't say it. There was a little bit of loss and a faint feeling of being empty.
Zhuang Wudao didn't pay much attention to Nie Xianling when she was by his side, but now that she was leaving him, he felt a bit reluctant to leave her.
All in all, my mood is a mess and difficult to sort out.
It was the Sword Spirit who mercilessly tore apart Zhuang Wudao's dark thoughts: "I think the sword master saw that the child he raised was taken away, so he felt disappointed and reluctant to let go. Is it right?"
Zhuang Wudao groaned and ignored Yun'er's ridicule. He directly threw a book to Dou Wenlong.
"Little uncle?"
Dou Wenlong casually opened the book, glanced at it, and knew it was an account book. He was extremely puzzled and asked: "What is this?"
"A few days ago, I wanted to ask Senior Brother Lei to deal with the dozen merchants who cut off the supply of goods to Baibingtang. The rest can be punished a little. It is best not to keep the few that I have marked with red lines.
The world is good."
Zhuang Wudao's voice was cold and murderous. Jie Qianchou was still in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall, but his power was limited to Lichen Mountain and Lichen Nine Towns.
Lei Fen, Dou Wenlong's master, was in charge of the Shanggong Hall and was so powerful that it was even more powerful than the top of the Seven Peaks of the Second Mountain.
With this uncle taking action, these dozen merchants can be easily captured.
Previously, for the sake of Li Chen's overall situation, he tolerated it. Now that everything is settled, Zhuang Wudao is not afraid of settling the accounts with the Queen of Autumn. He does not show mercy to these vassal forces of Li Chen Sect and has too many scruples.
Dou Wenlong's eyes flashed slightly and he put the account book into his arms.
"Wenlong understands"
Zhuang Wudao looked emotionlessly at Mo Fa, who was not far away from the opposite side and was sitting among the many golden elixir monks, but he was distracted.
The battle between him and the Mo family was just the beginning.
