Wang Daoyuan bowed and saluted: "If the sect master has any instructions, Elder Luo can just say so."
Luo Xuanming nodded and said, "I won't hide it from you either. I reported to the sect leader that Master Lei Yan intended to accept you as his disciple.
The sect leader asked me to ask, what does Manager Wang plan to do?
Should you reject Master Lei Yan’s kindness, or should you leave the Netherworld Sect and join the Shenbing Pavilion?”
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "I think Elder Luo and the sect leader have misunderstood. If it were before, I would still have the possibility of joining the Shenbing Pavilion.
Now, I am already an elder of Netherworld Sect.
If Master Lei Yan asks me to join the Shenbing Pavilion, he will be robbing people from the Netherworld Sect, which violates the Shenbing Pavilion's rule of not intervening in the affairs of local forces.
Elder Luo must have known about my brother-in-law's marriage back then.
He wanted to marry my sister and enter the Shenbing Pavilion, but he was blocked.
Master Lei Yan fought with the other elders of Shenbing Pavilion, so in the end he had no choice but to marry into the Wang family?
He is a disciple raised by Master Lei Yan himself, and he cannot let the Shenbing Pavilion break the rules, let alone a disciple like me who has become a monk halfway.
In addition, I am a monk with five spiritual roots, and I have a technique that suits me.
I can't learn any of Master Lei Yan's unique techniques and spells.
If I can't pass down Master Lei Yan's techniques and spells, what's the use of accepting me as his disciple?
Therefore, the most Master Lei Yan can do is accept me as a registered disciple and teach me some weapon refining methods, but will not let me join the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Elder Luo, think about it, we, the elders of Netherworld Sect, have become disciples of Zhenren Lei Yan.
In the future, if the sect wants to buy some magic weapons and the like, wouldn't it be easier to handle things with my relationship?
As far as I am concerned, there is no profit in worshiping the Shenbing Pavilion.
Now that I have opened the Purple Mansion, what I need most is nothing more than spiritual objects to assist in forming pills.
Even top forces like the Shenbing Pavilion cannot produce this thing stably.
There are not enough direct descendants and direct disciples of each Jindan elder in the sect, so will I be given an outsider?
To put it bluntly, Master Lei Yan is not far from nine hundred years old, and he only has more than a hundred years left to live.
Before he passes away, it will be impossible for Dao Yin and I to form a golden elixir.
After his deadline came, my brother's position in the Shenbing Pavilion was a bit awkward, let alone me.
Within the Netherworld Sect, I am appreciated by the sect master and the ancient palace master.
Elder Luo, you are still my eldest brother’s master. Fellow Taoist Luo Hongming and I are also old acquaintances. There are also a large number of old family monks who have good relations with my Wang family.
Elder Jin was able to become the deputy master of the Punishment Hall and become a high-ranking member of the sect.
With my talent, my achievements will not be lower than Elder Jin's, right?
There is not much point in entering the Shenbing Pavilion, and you will lose your connections and future in the Netherworld Sect.
If I did this, I would be really stupid.
Please also ask Elder Luo to convey my words to the sect master, I have no intention of betraying the sect."
After hearing this, Luo Xuanming pondered for a while and said: "What Manager Wang said is reasonable, I will definitely convey your words to the sect leader.
There are still important things within the sect, so I’ll take my leave.”
Wang Daoyuan and three others sent them outside the mountain.
The next day, the new and old clan leaders will hand over account books and other things, and the new clan leader will summon the elders to discuss the future direction of the family.
After all the elders arrived, Wang Daochang walked in energetically.
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "Third brother is in good health!"
All the elders burst into laughter.
Wang Daochang glanced at him and said: "I married Yuqing to block the knife for you, how dare you make fun of me?
I think if someone comes to marry you in the future, who else will be willing to stand in your way?"
"I see that you like to block knives." Wang Daoyuan said with a bad smile, "There are many younger brothers and nephews, and there are also two uncles here, so there are plenty of shields."
Uncle Twelve coughed slightly and said, "Okay, stop joking and let's discuss business."
After that, he handed a stack of account books and a few jade slips to Wang Daochang: "Okay, everything I should hand over is here.
My natal magic weapon hasn’t been refined yet, so I’ll leave first.”
Everyone stood up and saluted, saying: "Best farewell to the Supreme Elder."
Wang Daochang looked at the account books and jade slips and said: "The family's population and industry have made great progress in recent years.
There are more than 200,000 ordinary clan members, and there are more than 310 monk clan members, and the family's annual income has reached 270,000 spirit stones."
Wang Daoyuan was a little confused: "I remember the last time we participated in the war, the family was not more than 140 people?
It’s only been about thirty years, and it’s more than doubled?”
The third brother's face was full of joy: "Thanks to the population policy you proposed, most of the monks in the family who are over seventy years old have married wives and concubines.
They all have at least three or four children, and there are quite a few clansmen with more than ten children.
There are still more than 300 descendants of monks under the age of ten, among whom there should be fifty or sixty monks.
Currently, there are more than seventy Taoist monks in the family, and more than ten of them have passed away.
There are more than 140 monks of the Ming Dynasty, and the number will increase significantly in the future.
There are already more than 70 monks of the German generation, and there are more than 30 monks who are married or married.
In the past thirty years, on average, the family has added four or five new monks every year.
And the growth rate is still gradually increasing.
When the monks of the German generation grow up again, they can eat the entire Shuilong Ridge.
Not counting the eldest brother and Dao Yin, the family currently has thirteen foundation-building monks, more than twenty at the peak of Qi training, and more than fifty at the later stage of Qi training.
In recent years, in addition to the population, the family has also increased its number of members.
Among them are the Weapon Refining Hall, the Formation Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Lingcan Hall, the Baiyi Hall, the War Hall, and the Dark Hall.
In terms of industry, transportation, spiritual silkworms, and restaurants have the highest income, which exceeds 50,000 spiritual stones every year.
Next, is the mining and spiritual wood industry, which our Wang family has always occupied a large share of. If you add one piece of it, there are 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones.
There are four alchemy and talisman formations. Except for the formation, which is not directly profitable, the other three formations can also earn 10,000 to 20,000 spiritual stones every year.
There are currently seven second-level alchemists, six second-level spiritual talisman masters, five second-level weapon refiners, and only three second-level formation mages.
Now, Uncle Twenty-Six's formation attainments have reached the second level of high-grade, and by cooperating with Zhao Liang, he can refine the flying boat.
He has already built the foundation, arranged the formation, and refined the flying boat, so you don't need to worry about it.
Now that the Netherworld Sect has relaxed restrictions on flying boats, the next step is to expand its business to Wanchuanfang City in the south of Qingli County.
You are the one who formulated the family reform policies. Even though you gave up your ideas and left them alone, you are the initiator after all, so are you satisfied with the results of the reforms?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded and said: "This has far exceeded my expectations. Is there anything else I am dissatisfied with?"
Wang Daochang continued: "You have been a punishment elder for more than eighty years, and you have never taken care of a single thing about the punishment hall.
Uncle Twelve has appointed a chief steward to manage the affairs of the Penal Hall on your behalf.
Now that the great elder is vacant, who do you think is suitable?"
Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and said: "Now that we have enough manpower, the Great Elder doesn't have much work to do, plus you have Third Brother in charge.
The ability to deal with practical matters does not need to be very strong, the main thing is to know the situation of the family's various industries.
You also need to have enough prestige to convince other elders.
In my opinion, Jiu Gu is pretty good."
Ninth Aunt was also known for her strength in the early years, and her fighting skills were equal to those of Eighth Uncle.
But after all, he is a water attribute monk and does not have too high talents.
It happens that water attribute monks are highly talented and have first-class fighting skills. If they are not talented enough, their fighting skills are extremely poor.
She is not talented enough, and after building the foundation, her fighting skills are not as good as before.
Therefore, I rarely go out these years and mostly handle various affairs within the family.
After hearing this, Jiu Gu was a little surprised: "I have only managed the town hall in these years. I have never managed other halls. I don't know how to deal with the affairs of other halls."
