Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 585 Choose Xuande Hall
Tangning walked up to the host seat and waved her hands, "You don't need to be polite, just take your seats! I'm a guest just like everyone else, and we'll just follow the host's arrangement."

Everyone nodded and said yes, and took their seats one after another.

Fang Xiaoyuan picked up the wine glass and said: "Uncle Tang is here, making our mansion full of splendor, all senior brothers and I will respect uncle first."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

Tang Ning put down her glass and smiled, "Many of you here are old friends. There is no need to distinguish seniority in the cultivation world here. I still remember that when I first came here, Senior Brother Fang was still in full bloom. In the blink of an eye, it has been decades. I really don't know how to practice." years."

"Today, I'm making a fuss and setting up a rule. Here, I only talk about human relations and love affairs, and don't get involved in the sect's government affairs. Regardless of the size of the position, the level of cultivation, I only treat you as friends. If you violate it, you will be punished with three glasses of wine. What do you think? ?”

"I would like to obey my uncle's orders." Fang Xiaoyuan replied.

Tang Ning glanced at him, Fang Xiaoyuan came to his senses immediately, and immediately changed his words: "Fang has violated Steward Tang's order to drink alcohol, and drink three cups first."

After finishing speaking, they drank three cups in a row, and they all smiled slightly, and then changed their glasses. This wine is a second-grade spiritual wine collected by Luo Qingshui, and it is also beneficial to everyone's cultivation. The atmosphere was less dignified than before.

Fang Xiaoyuan picked up his wine glass and said: "This glass of wine is another respect to Tang Guanshi. I really want to ask for something, and I hope Tang Guanshi can agree."

Tangning smiled and said, "Because of my good wine, I get drunk every time I drink it. I forget my nature when I get drunk, so I made a rule that I never count what I say after drinking. If you have any request, you can say it, and I will definitely agree to it."

Everyone laughed lightly.

Fang Xiaoyuan said: "Fang has heard about the Tang steward's ability to refine alchemy, and he wanted the elixir, but he couldn't get it. Today, he borrowed Jiuxing to ask you for a promise. In the future, whether the refined elixir can be given priority to our brothers present here is also a matter of course." So we don't have to go back and forth to Broken Ridge."

"From now on, all the refined elixirs will be placed in the financial office of Xuande Hall, and all of you here will supply [-]% of the price until they are sold out."

Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, and the banquet broke up happily, and everyone returned to the cave.

....................................

In the Ganxing Mountain Deliberation Hall, senior monks of the sect gathered together. Not long after, Luo Qingshui came in from the outside until the main seat was seated. I have already proposed to the Zongmen to resign from the position of the head of the Xuande Hall, and if you are interested, you can participate in the election."

The hall fell silent for a while, and no one spoke first. After a while, Tangning said, "I hope to participate in the election of Xuande Hall."

Hearing what he said, none of them showed any surprise, only Zhuang Xinqian glanced at him, Shi Ming and Yin Qingyuan looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, standing still.

They naturally knew that Tang Ning had frequently met with Luo Qingshui and Tong Quanan's old confidantes in the Xuande Hall these days, and obviously already had the support of Luo Qingshui and Tong Quanan, so they did not think anything different about his participation in the selection of the Xuande Hall's head.

There was no one in the hall, Luo Qingshui said slowly: "The selection time for the head of the Xuande Hall is at the end of this month. If other juniors are interested in participating in this selection, they can notify me at any time. Junior brother Shi, tell me about you According to Qingxuan Hall's information, how many disciples have joined the sect since the sect opened the restriction on recruitment."

Shi Ming said: "Since the abolition of the ten-year-old discipleship and many restrictions, so far, we have recruited more than [-] disciples in ten years."

"Among them, more than [-] people are casual cultivators who have been working for us, including the disciples of the principals in various places, the intelligence department and the inspection department, some subordinate Zhili personnel of the Sili Department, and casual cultivators recruited by the industry outside the Yuanyi Palace. There are also children from the cultivation family who have made friends with us."

"In addition, there are more than [-] people who are young children with spiritual roots who have not yet transformed into mortals. They have successfully transformed into mortals after undergoing training under the guidance of this religion, and have entered the path of practice. Now [-] people have been taken away from the Yongquan Hall outside the sect's gate. The mortal sons with spiritual roots who have not yet transformed into mortals are stepping up their cultivation to step into the foundation of mortal transformation."

"For the more than [-] disciples who have successfully transformed into mortals, they have been assigned to serve in various ministries and departments. Most of those who joined the sect's casual cultivators and family members were placed in Yingxia Mountain camp to wait for their orders."

Luo Qingshui said: "It seems that the effect is still good. In just ten years, more than [-] disciples have joined our sect. In this way, we don't have to worry too much about the foundation stone of our sect being weak and not being accepted. Brother Shi, can you see if we can go further?" Let go of the restrictions, not only casual cultivators who used to work for us, but as long as they are innocent, they can be drawn in to fight against the Demon Sect for our sect."

Shi Ming said: "If too many people are recruited, it will be a big burden on the sect's finances, and it is difficult for these casual cultivators to guarantee their loyalty to the sect. Once the war with the demon sect stops, these people will go to Where to arrange it? This is also a big trouble."

"The casual cultivators we are accepting now are the monks recruited by the principals of various places or the industrial sites outside the sect. They used to work for us, and the sect paid them salaries. For this sect, there will be no financial burden to accept them. "

"Besides, once the war slows down, they can return to their respective jobs and return to the shop, or the information station, or work under the chief's seat. And those casual cultivators who have nothing to do with the sect are easy to accept, but the follow-up arrangements are inconvenient. I think There is no need to accept them unless it is absolutely necessary."

Luo Qingshui nodded, "Okay then! It's up to you, Tangning, how is your expansion plan at Yuanyi Palace going? What are the benefits?"

Tang Ning said, "As of now, we have selected [-] disciples from various departments to teach and teach alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, and array making skills."

"Among them, [-] people learned alchemy skills, [-] people learned tool refining skills, [-] people learned talisman-making skills, and [-] people learned array-making skills."

"This ratio can be said to be far beyond our expectations. As long as [-] of the [-] people meet our standards, then after [-] or [-] years, the sect will increase its income by [-] million spirit stones accordingly."

"Now the entire plan is being carried out in an orderly manner. Among them, [-] people have reached our preliminary standards, that is, alchemists have reached the standard for refining qi-nourishing pills, weapon refiners have reached the standard for refining first-level low-grade magic weapons, and talisman makers Reach the standard for making a first-order low-grade talisman, and the formation master has reached the standard for making a first-order low-grade formation flag."

"For departments that did not meet the standards, we reduced the funding of three thousand spirit stones per person, and increased the funding of three thousand spirit stones per person for departments that exceeded the task."

"Until last month, [-] alchemists had refined a total of [-] bottles of qi-nourishing pills, [-] pieces of low-grade magical artifacts, [-] stacks of low-grade magic symbols, [-] Ten sets of first-rank low-rank formation flags have all been collected by the sect."

"As for the benefits, there is no specific data yet. Whether it is alchemy, weapon refining or talisman formation, it requires a lot of human and financial resources, and it is difficult to see the effect in a short time."

"So far, we have invested more than [-] million spirit stones in the practice materials. This is still under the condition that we have the fire veins. If everything goes well, we can see the results in [-] or [-] years."

"The biggest problem right now is that there are not enough pill rooms. More than [-] alchemy disciples are allocated [-] pill rooms. On average, every eight to nine people enjoy one alchemy room. That is, each person only has one hour for alchemy to improve their skills. , which is certainly not enough."

"I intend to focus on cultivating those talented disciples, and still adopt the elimination system, and send all the disciples who have not reached the standard back to the departments."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said, "You can decide on this matter yourself."

Tang Ning said: "Besides, I have a proposal. All the disciples who meet the standards will be drawn from their respective departments and joined to the corresponding medicine pills, talismans, utensils, and array flags. After completing their studies, three students will be drawn every year Months to complete the mission of the sect."

"Otherwise, once you return to the department, you will be born with your own hands, and your skills will be wasted."

"The two departments also have affairs to deal with. I'm afraid I don't have so much time to devote to alchemy. The alchemy is handed over to the sect."

Luo Qingshui said: "Junior Brother Shi, what do you think?"

The transfer of disciples belonged to Qingxuan Hall's responsibilities and authority. With so many personnel changing positions, of course Shi Mingshou had to nod. Even if Luo Qingshui was the head teacher, he could not act arbitrarily.

Shi Ming said: "I think it's better to observe and observe again! What we need are disciples who are skilled in skills and can create wealth and value. Their current level is far from qualified, and there is a shortage of manpower in all departments. More than two hundred disciples rowed away, which may disrupt some deployments."

"Besides, it's not easy to arrange these people when they arrive at the Internal Affairs Court. The alchemy room is still not enough, and it can't solve the fundamental problem."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "Let's take it easy! We'll talk about it later. If you have nothing else to do, let's conclude this discussion!"

Several people got up and left the hall one after another, and left separately.

........................

Tangning returned to the cave and sat cross-legged. Not long after, the stone door was pushed open. Gu Yuanya walked up to him in two or three steps, and said impatiently, "Master, are you going to be promoted to the head of the Xuande Hall?"

"How old is he, and he's still bluffing like this."

Gu Yuanya sat down and said, "Master, are you coming to Xuande Hall?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Who did you listen to?"

"Everyone in the sect knows about it, but I don't know about it yet." Gu Yuanya said slightly dissatisfied.

"It's not decided yet."

"Master hypocrisy, you have met the supervisors of various departments of the Xuande Hall these days, and everyone said that you must be promoted to the head of the Xuande Hall!"

Tangning shook her head and said, "Don't jump to conclusions until the last moment. You often think you're sure of winning, but in fact, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind you. You can't be careless at any time!"
