Lin Xiao looked at Wang Dao's leaving figure and sighed heavily. It seemed that Danyang Sect was forced by the situation and was already actively seeking a way to survive. Daogang monks would also play a decisive role in future wars.
Today, there are only three Daogang monks in Yunzhou. The only ones who have hope of breaking through Daogang within twenty years are Lin Xiao himself and Li Muxue. Like the others, they have no chance at all.
"Twenty years is not a long time. It seems that we need to plan in advance. Come, please invite the five general affairs elders from Zhang Mingtang."
Lin Xiao muttered, and then asked five people from Zhang Mingtang to be invited. He was going to announce something big.
Not long after, the five Zhang Mingtang people put down what they were doing and gathered in the sect hall, waiting for Lin Xiao's instructions.
"Master Zhang, briefly tell us about the situation of the sect."
Zhang Mingtang is the head of the five elders. In order to distinguish their responsibilities and consolidate Zhang Mingtang's status, Lin Xiao called this position the first elder. This was also just named. Zhang Mingtang liked the name of the first elder very much.
.
"Yes, Master, as usual, let's talk about financial resources first. Tiansheng Sect now has four third-level spiritual mountains, namely Shanmen, Baiwu Mountain, Gongmingfang City, and Bailing Mountain. In addition, the business road that opened up Baiyu City in Qi State, the entire sect last year
The door's profit is 1.8 million Xuanjing, and it is hoped to break through to 2 million Xuanjing within five years.
At the same time, the head of the sect made many changes to the personnel of the sect, eliminating a group of depressed people and promoting those who were enterprising. Even though the number of disciples increased, the consumption was less than previously expected, with only 1.06 million Xuanjing expenditure.
Surplus of 740,000.
However, all these Xuan Jings have been invested in Gongming City's plan, and the sect has no surplus in financial resources, so it will have to start this year.
As for the disciples, the sect now has more than 4,200 disciples. There are eleven Zifu monks on the surface, but in reality there are twelve. There are 465 pulse condensation disciples, and 800 pulses are opened from the tenth to the twelfth level.
Forty people, more than 2,300 people from the fifth to ninth levels of opening channels, 130 non-level mortals, and the rest are all monks from the first to fourth levels of opening channels.
Among them, there are more than 800 people in Baiwu Mountain, 1,100 people as guards and shop operators in Gongmingfang City, more than 1,800 people in the original Qingshan County, and the rest are basically at the mountain gate."
"Very good, Chief Zhang, do you have the detailed information on the sect's expenditures, such as how many pills are consumed each year, how many magic weapons are consumed, etc."
"Yes, there are detailed records, but the records are so huge that I don't know for a while. If the leader needs it, give me five days and I can calculate it."
"Don't worry, you have a lot to do. First of all, you have to count the various resource consumption data of Tiansheng Sect in the past five years, predict the annual growth rate, and then take the average value, and then establish a reserve warehouse system for resource storage.
"
"Reserve warehouse system, boss, what is this? I have never heard of it."
"This is my original creation. Of course you have never heard of it. You are all people who have experienced several battles. You should know that every time a war occurs, preparations must be made several years in advance to implement an arms race. And every time
During the arms race, when prices skyrocketed, the sect suffered huge losses. The same price could only buy one-third or even less of what it used to.
Our Xuanjing is not blown by the strong wind, it is all earned through hard work, so I have been thinking about how to avoid this kind of loss. After careful consideration, I came up with this reserve warehouse system.
Our sect has built a large number of warehouses to reserve bulk resources, such as spiritual rice, basic elixirs, even basic elixir materials, magic weapons, weapon refining materials, etc. The reserve warehouse should be sufficient for the sect for about three to five years.
needs.
If a war is about to break out and an arms race begins, we can use the resources in this reserve warehouse and not be affected by market price fluctuations, so we will not suffer any losses."
"Master, this is a good idea. Master is truly a genius."
"Stop flattering, this matter is related to the life and death of the sect, so your task is extremely heavy. Remember, the data must be accurate and the estimates are in place. Otherwise, if there is not enough stuff by then, it will be embarrassing."
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely do this well. However, Master, the sect's regular expenses are hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing a year. Our current financial resources cannot be used to create a reserve warehouse at once."
"It's okay. Take your time. It can take three to five years, seven or eight years. You can't finish it in one year, otherwise the price will be driven up."
"Yes, I understand, I know what to do."
"The second thing is to expand the scale of the war hall and conduct group training. We have a large number of disciples in Shanmen, Fangshi, and Bailing Mountain in these three places. I require the disciples in these three places to allocate time for training every year.
To cope with the scenes and experiences of large-scale battles, the annual training period is at least ten days and the longest is one month. Then once every five years, the disciples from the three places gather for training, and the combined training time cannot be less than one month."
"Master, I'm a little confused. There's no war right now, so raising troops and mobilizing people like this costs a lot of money. Will it be wasted?"
"There is an undercurrent surging. I don't blame you, Mr. Zhang, for not knowing about the potential crisis in the Tiansheng Sect, but this matter must be implemented. I will check it when the time comes. Who dares to neglect his or her duties? Don't blame the sect for its ruthless rules."
"Yes, Master, the sect's general affairs hall will fully support the implementation of this matter in the war hall."
"The third thing is a cliché. The four third-level spiritual mountains of the sect have not been fully developed. We must continue to persist and increase the number of disciples. Within twenty years, I want Tianyang Mountain and Qiyun Mountain to also be raised to the third-level level."
"Yes, Master, we will do our best."
Lin Xiao nodded. In the past, the Tiansheng Sect had many people but few spiritual veins. People like Lin Xiao did not dare to practice on the mountain. They were afraid that if they absorbed too much profound energy, the other disciples would not be able to absorb it. But now, there are too many disciples in the Lingshan Mountain and few disciples.
, excluding Fangshi, the other three third-level spiritual mountains can actually accommodate all the current disciples, not to mention there are more than a dozen other large and small spiritual mountains, which are very sufficient, and another two or three thousand people will be enough.
"The fourth thing is top secret. This sect leader will be in seclusion for two days to prepare for breaking through the Daogang period. All matters of the sect will be discussed by the five of you. If the consensus cannot be reached, we will go to Bai Chenxi and other elders to discuss it. Unless there is a problem
It’s a matter of life and death for the sect, otherwise you can’t disturb me.”
"Ah, Master, is this true?"
Zhang Mingtang was immediately shocked. Was it so fast? It had only been a year since Lin Xiao broke through to the twelfth floor of the Zi Mansion. But he knew that Leng Ning had wasted many years on the twelfth floor of the Zi Mansion.
"I can't lie to you. Remember, I will retreat at the mountain gate. Once I retreat, I will try to reduce the number of disciples in the mountain gate to avoid competing with me for profound energy."
"Yes, Master, I will definitely do it. Master, do you need to arrange for someone to protect the law?"
"I'll just ask Li Muxue about the Dharma protector. Don't make any noise, so as not to cause trouble."
"Yes, leader"
Zhang Mingtang and others suddenly showed happy expressions. If Lin Xiao breaks through Daogang, the status of Tiansheng Sect will be raised again, and their authority will be more grand. This will have great impact on both the sect and individuals.
interests.
After the meeting ended, Zhang Mingtang and others immediately got busy, mobilized dozens of disciples, and began to count the resources consumed by Tiansheng Sect in previous years. At the same time, they built a large warehouse at the mountain gate.
The warehouse in the world of cultivating immortals is not just built with bricks. There must be many considerations. Safety is the first. The buildings inside the mountain gate must be very strong. This is to prevent any eventuality. If the mountain guarding formation is breached one day
, the buildings inside the mountain gate can become a barrier for the disciples to resist.
Then the temperature and humidity must be controlled. For example, spiritual rice and medicinal materials cannot be affected by moisture or be destroyed by snakes, insects, rats, and ants. If it is a sect treasure house, there must be countless restrictions to prevent disciples from plotting, etc.
At the same time, the war hall also began to expand, with the number of standing personnel increased to 600, stationed in various places, and then people from various places had to be summoned for training. The whole Tiansheng Sect was busy.
One month later, the statistics were calculated. Three months later, five large warehouses were built. Each warehouse was several thousand square meters in size and tens of meters high. It was divided into five or six floors and had all the formation restrictions.
After that, various resources were slowly acquired, stored in the warehouse, and used when needed in the future. Lin Xiao supervised the entire process. After everything was on track, Lin Xiao began to retreat.
Lin Xiao was still not prepared to rely on the system this time. It was not that he was reluctant to give up the points, but Wang Dao had said before that the focus of Dao Gang monks lies in the Dao foundation, and the Dao foundation is divided into upper, middle and lower, which is related to the future development potential. If the system
Give him a low-grade Daoji, and he'll be finished.
Coupled with the fact that Lin Xiao had Dao Ji Dan in hand, the probability of breakthrough was really not low, at least 50% or more. Naturally, he would not want to use the system to break through.
Lin Xiao first spent two years in seclusion, raising the 12th level of the Purple Mansion to the extreme. No matter how hard he practiced, he could not advance even an inch. Then he began to polish and settle down. This process was extremely energy-consuming and could not be sloppy at all. Lin Xiao spent another two years.
.
After the precipitation was completed, Lin Xiao took out the breakthrough experience given by Wang Dao and looked at it carefully. He had also bought some information in Qi State before, which was related to Daogang. At least he had to know what Daoji was like and how to divide it.
Upper, middle and lower quality.
A month later, Lin Xiao had a glimmer of understanding. The quality of Daoji was related to the practice of opening and condensing meridians, and the third level of Zifu. Opening meridians meant opening the 108 meridians and acupoints in the body, and condensing meridians
The one hundred and eight meridians and acupoints are filled with mysterious energy to connect them into one piece, and then the mysterious energy from the meridians and acupoints is injected into the Dantian to open up the Dantian. In this way, the Purple Mansion can be completed.
During the Zifu period, they continued to absorb Xuanqi and filled the opened Zifu with Xuanqi. After reaching the extreme level, they would then connect the Lower Dantian, which would force out the hidden Middle Dantian. The monks also had to refine the Middle Dantian.
, forming a whole Dantian.
Refining qi in the lower Dantian, refining essence in the upper Dantian, and refining spirit in the middle Dantian. After the essence, Qi, and spirit are unified, it is the opportunity to break through the Dao Gang. To break through the Dao Gang, you must first cast the Dao foundation. How to distinguish the upper and lower Dao foundations is another question.
