Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15749 Settlement
Fucha remained perfectly clear-headed throughout. He wasn't blinded by the identity of a core disciple. Fucha understood perfectly well that core disciples were indeed very important in a sect, but their fates weren't always good. In the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, there were many core disciples in the first realm, and some of them might end up just holding the title of core disciple and becoming idle elders. Although their status was slightly higher than that of ordinary elders, it wasn't much higher. After all, positions with real power had long been occupied by powerful families, so how could they possibly fall into the hands of people like Fucha and Duan Jingxu?

Fucha was well aware that while their talents were good, could your talent compare to the accumulated wealth of those great families over countless generations? Not to mention that those great families also had kingdom-level elders in charge; you simply couldn't compare to them.

So what should you do? It's simple. Find an opportunity to obtain a position with some power, and then manage it diligently. First, manage your position well, and second, manage your family well. While you are cultivating diligently, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can then help your family. At the same time, you should find some allies. If you don't have any allies, then cultivate some yourself. When the time comes, everyone will advance and retreat together, and in this way, your power will naturally grow. Then, diligently teach your family disciples, and encourage them to strive for excellence. With the development of several generations, your family will naturally become a major family within the sect. If you can cultivate to the Kingdom level, that would be even better, and your family could truly become a great family.

To become a powerful clan, one of the most important things is that there must be a kingdom-level expert in the clan. Even if your clan is very powerful, if you don't have a kingdom-level expert in the clan, you can't be called a powerful clan. That's the reality.

A kingdom-level expert can live for many years and take care of the family for many years. With a kingdom-level expert in charge, no one will dare to easily touch your family. In this way, your family can naturally develop slowly. The longer the accumulation time, the thicker your family's foundation will be compared with others. Therefore, a kingdom-level expert is the most important foundation of a large family.

Fucha's ultimate goal was to become a kingdom-level master and then become part of their family's foundation. This was the development path Fucha had planned long ago.

Because their goals were different, Fucha never intended to compete for the position of sect leader from the very beginning. The reason he pretended to be vying for the position was actually a way of elevating his status. For example, if you show that you want to compete for the position of sect leader, many people in the sect will look up to you and compare your status with those of others who are also vying for the position, considering you to be on the same level. At this time, people will naturally gather around you, and you will gain some influence. Similarly, if others want to deal with you, they will have to pay a greater price. Just like this time, those people dealt with Fucha by directly giving him the position of deputy hall master of the vassal hall. Although this position is insignificant, it is still a deputy hall master of a hall, and he must sit at the front when the sect holds meetings. So, his plan can be said to have succeeded.

Moreover, there is another advantage: he has escaped the vortex of vying for the sect leader position, and others will no longer regard him as an opponent. He can then observe from the sidelines, and if the opportunity arises in the future, he can even curry favor with the new sect leader.

That's why he could see Duan Jingxu's current situation at a glance. Duan Jingxu's current situation was actually very dangerous, but he himself did not realize that those small families had already begun to take action. Of course, as a core disciple, those small families would never kill Duan Jingxu, but those small families were not without ways to deal with Duan Jingxu.

Duan Jingxu is indeed getting a bit cocky now. He thinks that since he has dealt with Fucha, he is riding high and can take advantage of this opportunity to subdue those small families and bring them under his control. However, his actions have inadvertently provoked those small families, causing them to unite. Although they won't kill him, if they unite and file a complaint with the sect, the punishment Duan Jingxu will receive will definitely not be light.

Don't forget, the sect leader is still in office. If those small families unite to sue Duan Jingshu, the sect will definitely punish him. Although those small families aren't strong, in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, each small family has at least one King City-level expert. The combined strength of these King City-level experts is not to be underestimated. If they really unite to sue Duan Jingshu, he will definitely be punished. According to the sect's usual practice, Duan Jingshu might be punished by being confined to his quarters for a few years. Once this punishment is imposed, Duan Jingshu will be finished and will no longer be qualified to compete for the sect leader position. You'll be confined for a few years, and by the time you come out, the sect leader will have already changed. When the new sect leader finds out that you once competed for the sect leader position, he probably won't give you a good look. It would be quite good if you were made a leisurely elder.

As Fucha had predicted, the first thing those small families did after uniting was to complain to the sect, accusing Duan Jingshu of bullying them. Because many small families were involved, the matter quickly caused a sensation within the sect and had a very negative impact.

The sect's punishment for Duan Jingshu came down quickly, just as Fucha had expected: Duan Jingshu was to be confined to a secluded place for ten years.

Ten years of solitary confinement—while it didn't completely seal Duan Jingxu's spiritual energy, it stripped him of all the privileges of a core disciple of the sect. He was forbidden from interacting with other disciples; essentially, he was to be locked up, forced to cultivate on his own, and barred from any sect affairs. This was undoubtedly the harshest punishment for Duan Jingxu. Upon hearing this punishment, Duan Jingxu was stunned, but the sect had no intention of retracting its decision. Disciples from the sect's Enforcement Hall escorted him to the sect's forbidden area and imprisoned him in a cave. The cave's restrictions were then lifted, and Duan Jingxu would be confined there for ten years. He would no longer be qualified to contend for the sect leader position. In ten years, by the time he emerged, the sect would have been replaced; he would be lucky to become a leisurely elder.

In fact, other core disciples were also involved in pushing things along behind the scenes when Duan Jingshu was involved in this incident, which is why Duan Jingshu was punished with ten years of solitary confinement. Otherwise, his punishment might have been lighter.

After Duan Jingshu was punished, those who followed him were also punished to varying degrees. For example, Wu Weiren was punished by being confined to his quarters for half a year. After all, he was just an executor, so he was also punished by being confined to his quarters for half a year. Then Wu Weiren was forgotten by everyone.

Six months later, Wu Weiren finished his meditation retreat, and no one paid him any more attention. He had long been forgotten by the other core disciples, since he was not a core disciple. So of course no one paid attention to his whereabouts. No one would have thought that after finishing his meditation retreat, Wu Weiren directly joined the Feudal Hall and became a managing elder of the Feudal Hall.

After arriving at the Hall of Feudal Servants, Wu Weiren went straight to Fucha. Upon seeing Wu Weiren, Fucha immediately stood up and quickly greeted him. He then grabbed Wu Weiren's arms with both hands and patted them forcefully, saying, "Junior Brother Wu, you've finally come out. You've worked hard this time. Don't worry, I've already arranged your position. This matter is also thanks to you. From now on, you can stay here in peace. I will definitely not shortchange you on your share."

Wu Weiren was actually one of Fucha's men, but he didn't follow Fucha from the beginning. He did initially follow Duan Jingshu, but Wu Weiren was a very clear-headed person. He had long realized that Duan Jingshu could not become the sect leader, and he had openly and secretly advised Duan Jingshu not to compete for the position of sect leader anymore, but to use his status as a core disciple to secure a good position for himself first. However, Duan Jingshu did not listen and was determined to compete for the position of sect leader, which put Wu Weiren in a very difficult position. He was even prepared to leave Duan Jingshu.

At this time, Fucha found him and told him his plan. Wu Weiren then sided with Fucha. The idea that Wu Weiren had given Duan Jingshu the advice to deal with Fucha and kick him out of the game was something he deliberately said. The idea of ​​winning over those small families was also his. When Duan Jingshu asked him to contact those small families, he put on an arrogant attitude. As a result, those small families naturally became resentful of Duan Jingshu and would naturally turn against him. This was the method Fucha used to deal with Duan Jingshu.

Duan Jingshu was completely unaware of all this. He still trusted Wu Weiren greatly, and thus fell into Fucha's trap. Now that Duan Jingshu is required to spend ten years in seclusion, his power has dissipated, and Wu Weiren can now openly join the Feudal Hall.

When Wu Weiren heard Fucha say this, he was actually relieved. He was worried that Fucha would deny it. After all, Duan Jingshu had fallen, so even if Fucha denied it, there was nothing he could do. But he did not expect that Fucha would be so enthusiastic when he saw him.

After Fucha pulled him to sit down, he said directly to Wu Weiren, "I've already had someone prepare a new identity card for you. From now on, you'll be the managing elder of the Feudal Hall. We're in charge here now. Although there's a hall master, he basically doesn't do anything. There are many of our people in the Feudal Hall now, and we take care of each other. Just stay here and relax. Although there's not much money to be made in the Feudal Hall, there's still enough for us."

Wu Weiren immediately said to Fucha, "Thank you, senior brother. You have already taken great care of me. I am very grateful to you."

Fucha waved his hand and said, "We're family, so let's not be so formal. You've suffered a lot for me this time, so I won't treat you badly. You've just joined the sect and come out of seclusion, so there's no rush to come to work here. Go home and rest for a few days first. Come to the sect when you're well-rested. Don't worry, no one will take your place."
