Chapter 515 Yan Shuangcheng, the head of the House of Internal Affairs
"Disciple Xuanyu, please see the master!" A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu came to the stone gate of the master Zhang Yuanzhen's cave with his sword, saluted and shouted into the cave.
"It's Xuanyu! Come in quickly!" As the voice of Master Zhou Yutong came from the cave, the stone door of the cave rose in response.
"Disciple Xuanyu, pay my respects to my master, my master!" Liu Yu walked into the cave and saw that in addition to his master Zhou Yutong, his master "Xuanmu Zhenren"'s Taoist companion "Xuanzhao Taoist" Zhou Lutong was also sitting in the cave, busy.
Worship.
"No need to be polite! Xuan Yu, come sit down and try the new tea sent by my cousin!" Zhou Yutong, the master's wife, smiled and asked Liu Yu to sit down, and poured a cup of steaming green tea.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master! Master, isn't he in the house?" Liu Yu was anxious and in the mood to enjoy tea. Besides, "Taoist Xuanzhao", a master-level senior, was here, so he couldn't sit down.
He raised his hands and asked.
"Bad news has come back from Beiluan City. Your master has been called to discuss the matter!" Master Zhou Yutong frowned and replied, then continued: "Do you have anything to do with your master?"
"Disciples have also heard about this. It is rumored that the disciples sent by the sect went into the "Black and White Secret Realm" to collect elixirs, and very few survived. Is it true or not?" When Liu Yu heard that the master was called by the sect for discussion, Liu Yu's heart
More and more uneasy.
"The rumors are indeed true. Only three of the two teams of elite disciples sent into the secret realm came out alive." Master Zhou Yutong nodded and said.
"What about junior sister?" Liu Yuxin couldn't help raising her voice and asked immediately.
"Don't worry! Zhi'er is one of the three survivors." When Zhou Yutong saw Liu Yu rushing over, she knew she wanted to ask about this and said with a chuckle.
Zhi'er is a quirky girl who suits her temperament very well. Zhou Yutong tried to persuade her to go to the "Secret Realm of Black and White" this time, but in the end she didn't stop. She was also frightened when she heard the bad news coming from Beiluan City.
I was shocked, but fortunately I later heard that Tang Zhi was among the three survivors, so it was a false alarm.
"Great!" Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Now you feel at ease! Come and sit down, this new tea has just been picked not long ago, please try it quickly." Zhou Yutong, the master's wife, greeted again, and then introduced to Zhou Lutong on the side: "Cousin, this is the new tea that Yuan Zhen harvested a few years ago.
Disciple, Xuanyu!"
"Disciple has met the master!" Liu Yu said respectfully again.
"Sit down!" Zhou Lutong took a closer look at Liu Yu and said lightly. She had heard about this boy. He was originally a direct disciple of his junior brother Tang Hao. Now he belongs to his senior brother Zhang Yuanzhen's sect and opened up the "Purple" with his three spiritual roots.
"Fu", if my junior brother knows about it, I will be very happy.
She and Tang Hao were under the same sect of "Zhenren Xuanmu" and had always had a good relationship. She knew very well that the disciples that Tang Hao accepted were all crooked and bad dates. If this son could successfully build the foundation, he could be regarded as retaining some for Junior Brother Tang.
Reputation.
"Thank you, Master!" Liu Yu then sat down, took the tea brewed by Master Zhou Yutong, and took a sip. His mouth was full of fragrance, and there was also a pure scent of rain and dew unique to new tea, which made people feel refreshed.<
/p>
Liu Yu has been lucky enough to drink this tea several times, and it is called "Junshan Silver Needle". It is considered to be the best quality among the many types of tea that Liu Yu has tasted.
At the same time, in the meeting hall of the back hall of Huangyu Palace, "Taoist Xuannan" Zhang Yuanzhen, "Taoist Mad Lion" Xiao Jinteng, "Taoist Jifeng" Xia Houhai, "Taoist Qiuri" Huang Wei, "Taoist Haoyi" Bai Yucheng,
"Hongyi Taoist" Yan Shuangcheng, the six Huang Shengzong stewards have all arrived.
"Everyone must have heard the news from Beiluan City. Junior Brother Jifeng, it's up to you to tell everyone about the specific situation!" After everyone sat down, Yan Shuangcheng, the leader of the Internal Affairs Hall, was the first to speak.
Yan Shuangcheng is the eldest disciple of Huang Sheng Sect's leader "Shen Yi Zhenren". All the affairs of Huang Sheng Sect, big and small, are handled by Yan Shuangcheng single-handedly, except for occasional important matters that require the intervention of the leader "Sheng Yi Zhenren". He is regarded as the acting leader of the sect.
, the status of the sect is only lower than the five Jindan Zhenren.
"In this "Black and White Secret Mirror", the disciples of the sect suffered heavy casualties. In addition to the two teams of elite disciples sent, only three survived. There were also many disciples who served in Beiluan City and went into the secret mirror to collect medicine. The same thing happened
The total number of people killed is fifty-four." Xia Houhai said with a gloomy look on his face.
"Although the "Black and White Secret Mirror" has always been a dangerous place, and sect disciples have suffered casualties in the past, there has never been such a situation where almost the entire team was wiped out. When "Junior Brother Wo Feng" returns to the sect, he must ask about this time
How did he get the position of team leader and deacon?"
"And the medicinal disciples selected by the sect this time are all so unsatisfactory. How could a small yellow-level high-grade secret realm have such heavy casualties?" A tall and thin figure in a Taoist robe, who looks like a middle-aged Taoist.
Huang Wei pretended to be angry and said.
"What do you mean?" Xia Houhai's face suddenly changed and he asked angrily.
The leader of the team this time was his second brother Xiahou Chuan, and "Wo Feng" was Xia Houchuan's Taoist name. Moreover, more than half of the two teams of medicinal disciples were descendants of the Xiahou family, and the leading disciple Qi Lingyu even came to Xiahou Hai's sect.
In this secret realm, the Xiahou family suffered heavy losses.
At this time, his old enemy Huang Wei deliberately made things difficult and added insult to injury, making Xia Houhai, who was already heartbroken, even more angry and looking very ugly.
"Okay! Junior brother Qiu Ri, please say a few words. The accident that occurred in the "Black and White Secret Mirror" has nothing to do with the cultivation of the many selected herb-gathering disciples. It is said that the lizards in the secret realm have strange phenomena, and some tribes have
There were two to three "Golden Armored Leaders" at the same time, and their strength increased greatly, catching the medicinal disciples of each sect unprepared." Yan Shuangcheng saw that Junior Brother Qiuri wanted to provoke him, so he immediately interrupted.
"Oh! Really?" When Senior Brother Hong Yi said this, Huang Wei snorted and did not provoke Xia Houhai again.
This time, the Xiahou family competed for the position of steward for this herb collection task, and arranged a large number of disciples from the clan into the herb collection team. Not only did they lose more than twenty disciples at once, but they also lost the rice.
Even his direct disciple, Qi Lingyu, who possesses the "Rain and Thunder Dao Body" and has great potential, also got involved.
Seeing Xia Houhai's pig liver color, Huang Wei felt extremely happy in his heart. Xia Houhai, ah! Xia Houhai! You must be dumbfounded this time!
"There is indeed a strange phenomenon happening to the lizard people in the secret realm. This time, not only the disciples of our sect were seriously injured, but also the disciples of Lingbing Palace and Wanyao Valley had very few survivors, and they received secret reports. The same was true for Tianluo Tantric Sect and Spirit Beast Sect.
"Bai Yucheng replied at this time.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Yuanzhen asked with a frown.
"That's right! These lizard people are naturally stupid. The tribes are constantly fighting each other and killing each other. Even if there are a few more "gold-armored leaders", the disciples sent by each sect are all elite disciples with magical weapons and spiritual talismans for protection. Logically speaking,
It’s nothing to worry about! How come there are so many casualties?” Xiao Jinteng, the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, was also puzzled.
"Judging from the information received from the surviving disciples of various sects and some escaped cultivators, a "wise man" should have emerged among the lizard people!" Bai Yucheng continued.
"Junior Brother Haoyi, what is a "wise man"?" Xiao Jinteng, a tall and burly man with wild red hair, asked roughly.
"My little brother has read many ancient books. According to the book, the lizardmen in the "Secret Mirror of Black and White" are indigenous. At first, each tribe was led by a clan named Shadow Moon. There was a lizardman king named Shadow Moon Stormrage, and the war
The power is close to the golden elixir. In ancient times, various sects worked together to send disciples into the secret realm several times with secret treasures to conquer. After several bloody battles, they killed the lizardman king and destroyed the Shadow Moon clan."
"After the fall of the Shadow Moon Clan, all the lizardmen tribes became like a piece of scattered sand, fighting each other endlessly. The "Black and White Secret Mirror" became a place for each sect to pick elixirs. Over tens of thousands of years, strong men occasionally rose up to unify the tribes and provide each tribe with
Zong's medicinal disciples brought a large number of casualties, so they were called "wise men"" Bai Yucheng explained slowly.
"Is this happening? What should I do?" Zhang Yuanzhen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. This "Black and White Secret Mirror" has always been the place for collecting elixirs from various sects. I didn't expect that there would be such secrets in it. After the war, the sect's response to "
The demand for these two elixirs, "Zhuankongcao" and "Qixinghua", has increased significantly, and now such changes have occurred.
"Brother Xuan Nan, there is no need to worry too much. It still needs to be confirmed whether a "wise man" will emerge from the lizard tribe. Even if this is the case, according to the method recorded in ancient books, send a large number of elite disciples into the secret realm to kill this "wise man". Lizard
All ethnic groups will return to being scattered." Bai Yucheng said confidently.
"If this really happens and the secret realm is opened again, the children of the Xiahou family are willing to fight for the sect!" Xiahou Hai gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, this matter still needs to be discussed in detail with Lingbing Palace and Wanyao Valley, and we will discuss it later. Hao Yi! Have all the "Qing Ke Dan" in each Taoist temple taken back to the sect?" Yan Shuangcheng frowned slightly and said.
Duan Xiahouhai said.
"They have all been taken back to the sect, a total of 484 pills in half a year!" Bai Yucheng immediately replied. He is fully responsible for taking back the "Qingke Dan" from various Taoist temples. He will collect it every six months without delay. p>
"Junior Brother Xuannan, how many of the sect disciples have successfully built foundations in the past six months?" Yan Shuangcheng nodded, turned to Zhang Yuanzhen and asked.
"Senior brother, in the past six months, a total of twenty-nine disciples have entered the "Building Mansion Stone Chamber" to build the foundation, and two of them have advanced to open up the Purple Mansion." Zhang Yuanzhen replied with his hands in hand.
"Judging from the secret reports sent back by the secret disciples sent to the Tianluo Tantric Sect and the Spiritual Beast Sect, there is no difference between the two sects. Li Ruizong, a disciple of the sect stationed outside the Ximao Taoist Temple, violated the sect rules and murdered several mortals.
The woman fled into the Ximao Mountains after the incident, and the law enforcement disciples who had been tracked the day before yesterday killed her on the spot." Seeing Senior Brother Hong Yi looking at him, Xiao Jinteng said.
"The sect currently has 9,632 formal disciples, 9,150 Qi-training disciples, and 477 Foundation-building disciples."
"The half-year expenditure is a basic monthly salary of 1.8 million low-level spiritual stones, sect mission remuneration, and job salary. The total expenditure is 11.27 million low-level spiritual stones, meals, weapon refining, painting talismans, raising spiritual beasts, etc."
Xiangmen's affairs cost 110 million low-level spiritual stones." Huang Wei took out a thick account book and said in detail.
"Zongmen currently has a total of 323 mines of various sizes such as refined iron ore, refined copper mine, Lingjin mine, etc., and 24 Lingshi veins (sixteen are currently being mined, and six are idle for maintenance).
, Ertiao is not mined), and the revenue from mining of the mineral deposits in half a year is 65 million pieces of low-grade spiritual stones."
"Shops set up by sects in various places, Huang Shengsheng Village has a total income of 60 million low-level spiritual stones, and spiritual fields and medicine gardens in various sects have a total income of 30 million low-level spiritual stones."
"Excluding various expenses, the sect's net income in the past six months is about 30 million low-level spiritual stones." After Huang Wei finished speaking, Xia Houhai also took out a thick account book and said.
"If you continue, from today onwards, the rewards for various tasks of the sect, spiritual stones and contribution point rewards will be doubled." After listening to Huang Wei and Xia Houhai, the two stewards of the Wanwu Hall, Yan Shuangcheng said. p>
"Senior brother! If this is the case, the sect's monthly expenses and income will be close to the same, and there will not be many spiritual stones in the internal treasury." Xia Houhai was startled and reminded him hurriedly.
"This was specially ordered by the sect master. Just inform him." Yan Shuangcheng took a deep breath and said. The master's move had far-reaching intentions and was obviously carefully considered.
In this battle of the sea of clouds, more than 3,000 disciples of the sect were killed and injured, and most of them were middle and late disciples in Qi training. For this reason, the sect set up dojos in major cities and recruited disciples. The sect added four thousand Taoist boys.
, these Taoist boys have become poor children. They are born in ordinary families and have no family support. It will be very difficult for them to improve their cultivation in the future.
The master doubled the rewards for various tasks in the sect, and those who directly benefited were the qi-training disciples in the sect, especially the poor disciples who were like casual cultivators, because the sect's foundation-building monks and the qi-training disciples of various families occupied the area.
He has occupied 90% of the positions in the sect. Although the mission rewards have been doubled, the salaries of each position have not been increased.
Almost all the various miscellaneous tasks assigned by the sect are completed by these poor disciples. These miscellaneous tasks are usually time-consuming and laborious, and the rewards are not high. They are always thankless. The poor disciples at the bottom do not want to take the tasks, but they
No choice.
The sect leader obviously intends to improve the overall treatment of qi training disciples, so as to quickly restore the number of middle and late qi training disciples that dropped sharply during the sect war. At the same time, he also hopes that more qi training disciples can hit the foundation building stage. After all, the three sects
They only agreed to a truce with the Tianluo Tantric Sect and the Spiritual Beast Sect. Once a thousand years have passed, the war will surely reignite.
