The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 61 Reorganization
After the Qi Ling Sect's formation was repaired, the Three Peaks Master lifted the ban on the mountain after consulting Li Yuan, and many Qi Ling Sect disciples also went around searching for spiritual objects.

On this day, Wang Lengchan came to report that the Wang family of Tongshan had summoned three families to rebuild the market. The four true cultivators were required to gather in Wenshan to discuss the specific matters.

Li Yuan ordered the three peaks to select several disciples each to serve as the guards of the market town.

So nine people were selected, four from Xuanfeng, three from Lingfeng, and two from Qifeng.

Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is an elder of Xuanfeng named Wen Qi. He is less than 120 years old, but his cultivation level is almost at the late stage of perfection.

Among the nine people, three are late-stage and six are middle-stage deacons.

Li Yuan glanced at a few people, then waved his sleeves, and clouds rose up, bringing them to Wenshan ahead of the agreed time on the same day.

After all, Qi Lingmen is the closest and can be considered as half the host.

But when Li Yuan and his disciples arrived, they found that the formation had already been set off and someone had arrived before him.

Outside the formation, many independent cultivators had gathered in front of the market, waiting to enter when the market opened.

Li Yuan took out the command talisman and waved it, the light curtain of the formation opened, and he led all his disciples to descend from the sky into the formation.

This move naturally caused the many independent cultivators to exclaim in surprise. Someone shouted, "Qiling Sect is here too! How come the Qiling Sect's ancestors are so young? They don't seem to be the same two as before."

"Ah? Has another true cultivator emerged from Qi Ling Sect?"

"Oh, if that's true, that would be great. I heard from a Qi Ling Sect disciple that the two old ancestors are no longer around. If it weren't for this true cultivator's timely breakthrough, I'm afraid the Qi Ling Sect disciples would have become casual cultivators like us!"

"Is it true? Now that you put it that way, the Qi Ling Sect is really blessed by God. It has survived all this time. My great-grandfather said that when his great-grandfather was alive, the Qi Ling Sect already existed in the Guangyuan Mountains."

"Is this true? The Qi Ling Sect has at least a thousand years of history, right? No wonder they always call themselves an ancient sect."

……

On the street of Fangshi, Li Yuan looked at the Fangshi where everything was the same as before but it was very deserted, and came to Baikuitang.

"Wen Qi, take your disciples to clean up the puppets first, and then send people to manage them after the sect's general affairs begin."

"Yes! Ancestor!" Wen Qi hurriedly bowed in response.

Li Yuan's face disappeared without showing any emotion, and he came to the center of the formation, where several Tongshan Wang's disciples were already guarding. Seeing that he had a deep aura but was a stranger, they asked, "Senior, who are you..."

"I am the new leader of the Qiling Sect. Please inform fellow Daoist Wang."

Li Yuan said calmly.

"Shin-ren...Oh, yes, yes! Senior."

The two men looked at each other and hurried inside to pass the message.

A divine power flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and his heart became much colder, because these families had arrived earlier.

The monk came out after a while and said hurriedly, "Senior, please~"

Li Yuan had no expression on his face and walked in directly, only to see that there were already four people sitting in the room.

There was a round table, with a handsome man sitting at the top, and a burly man sitting on his left.

On the right side of the main position is a young scholar, and at the end is a woman with a gentle face.

When the four people saw him coming, their expressions were different and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

The gentle woman on the outside smiled softly and said, "This fellow Taoist must be the newly-accomplished cultivator of Qi Ling Sect, fellow Taoist Li Yuan.

My name is Xu Wanrong from the Qinghe Xu family. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

The woman smiled at him, stood up and greeted him.

Li Yuan also returned the greeting and said, "I have met Fairy Wanrong. You are so graceful and elegant, you are truly extraordinary."

"Qingfeng Pavilion, Fu Kong, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

After Xu Wanrong started the conversation, the young scholar also stood up and saluted.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Fu Kong. I have long heard of your great name, and today I finally get to meet you."

Li Yuan also returned the salute. When he entered the middle stage of Qi Refining, it happened that this person's breakthrough caused the surrounding water virtue to change and provided him with a cover.

"Wang family, Wang Xuanchang, Wang Xuanyi, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

The burly man and the handsome man didn't even stand up. They just sat there and bowed briefly.

Obviously this was a naked contempt, but Li Yuan was not angry, he just gave a half-bow and said: "Hello, fellow Taoists."

"Since fellow Taoist is here, let's discuss something." Fu Kong said with a smile.

"What else is there to discuss? Didn't we already agree on this?" Wang Xuanyi interrupted and said calmly, "Our Wang family will still take 60% of the revenue from Wenshan Market. The Xu family will take 20%, Qingfeng Pavilion 15%, and Qiling Sect 50%."

Li Yuan frowned, "When the two ancestors were here, our Qi Ling Sect accounted for 20%, how come it's only half now?"

“Fellow Daoist Li, you have just started practicing true cultivation, and you haven’t even entered the first turn. It is already very valuable to be able to give you half of it.” Wang Xuanchang said in a rough voice.

“You two, this is a bit too much.” Li Yuan couldn’t help but say, “If it weren’t for our ancestors who risked their lives to defeat the nine demons, I’m afraid that everyone here would not be having such a good life now, right?

Are you just accepting the favor and forgetting the virtue?"

"Hmph, that's all in the past. I can give Qi Ling Sect half of its profits because of the respect of Senior Wang Xun from your sect.

Otherwise, my Wang family would have driven your Qi Ling Sect out of the Guangyuan Mountains long ago! How could there be the Four Guangyuan Families today?" Wang Xuanyi said coldly.

Li Yuan glanced at the other two and asked, "What do you two Taoist friends think?"

Xu Wanrong said with embarrassment: "This is what the two Wangs wanted, so we can't go against it."

Fu Kong also said bluntly: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but Wenshan's income has always been like this, it all depends on strength."

Li Yuan was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he said, "My Qi Ling Sect is one of the four sects in Guangyuan after all. We should at least get 10% of the profits. I hope you two fellow Taoists will show mercy for the sake of our ancestors."

“No room for compromise!” Wang Xuanyi spread his hands and said indifferently: “I’m sorry to disappoint Fellow Daoist Li. My Wang family has many true cultivators, so naturally we need more spiritual objects to support. I hope Fellow Daoist will understand.”

Li Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, but he still spoke: "Our ancestor, Taoist Yuhe, once sacrificed his own cultivation to save a noble Taoist friend who had moved away.

"Our ancestor Wang Xun had helped the Wang family many times to regulate the earth veins to provide the source of earth fire. How can you, the Wang family, be so indifferent to such kindness when the two ancestors' bodies are still warm?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, you have to speak reasonably. We asked Senior Wang to sort out the veins of the earth, and Fellow Daoist Yuhe rescued people, all of which were done in exchange for benefits. It was a legitimate and clean transaction. How come it became a favor in your mouth?" Wang Xuanyi slammed the table, stood up and looked at him.

"Okay. If that's the case, don't blame me for not honoring our past friendship." Li Yuan said calmly, "Since it's only half done, then there's no need for me, a true cultivator, to take the turn, right? From now on, it's you three Guangyuan families that will take over, and there's no Qi Ling Sect anymore!"

Seeing how decisive he was, Xu Wanrong couldn't help but remind him: "Friend Li, don't get excited. If it weren't for the common blood of our four Guangyuan families, you alone wouldn't be able to defend the vast territory of the Qi Ling Sect." "No need to persuade him. It doesn't matter if there is no Qi Ling Sect. Anyway, he is just a person with supernatural powers of mind and can't be an important role." Wang Xuanchang said disapprovingly.

"Wait, if there is no real cultivation rotation, then there will be no benefits." Wang Xuanyi interrupted: "After all, sending a few disciples to guard the place can get half of the benefits, isn't that too simple?"

Fu Kong opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

Xu Wanrong lowered her head and said nothing, as if she couldn't hear anything.

"Okay, then I don't want any of the profits from Qi Ling Sect." Li Yuan still responded without getting angry, "But Bai Kui Hall is still owned by Qi Ling Sect, and you don't have to pay any taxes."

"Of course. After all, the four shops in Wenshan Market are permanently owned." Wang Xuanyi smiled and agreed after hearing this.

Li Yuan did not stay any longer, and turned around and left. He came to the front of Baigui Hall and called all the disciples and said, "There is no need to send disciples to guard the market from the back gate. You just need to manage Baigui Hall well."

Several people were still confused, but Li Yuan did not explain much, and they did not dare to ask more, so they could only say yes.

Li Yuan left Wenshan Market without looking back. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. He was weak and others were strong, so he could only abide by the rules set by the strong. The Wang family not only had several true cultivators, but also had an ancestor who was a true cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

After experiencing the beast tide, only Fu Kong was left in Qingfeng Pavilion, the Qinghe Xu family also had only two true cultivators, and the Wang family only lost two true cultivators from the previous generation. Now, there are at least four true cultivators left in the open, so their strength is naturally relatively dominant.

With strength and status matching each other, no one would say anything even if his Wang family wanted to gain more benefits.

After returning to the mountain, Li Yuan summoned the masters of the three peaks to his own courtyard.

The three peak masters all hurried over to pay their respects.

Li Yuan said: "The income from Wenshan Market is gone. Only Baikui Hall can still make some income.

I summoned you here to discuss this. How long will the sect have enough spiritual stones to last?"

"this…"

The three peak masters all looked embarrassed, but Chen Guan had the most experience among the three, so he said, "Ancestor, the spirit stones in our sect were not much after the beast tide war, and now with the large number of disciples in Xuanfeng, the expenditure of spirit stones is also more.

The spiritual stone reserves in the sect are less than 100,000."

"Less than a hundred thousand?" Li Yuan frowned. Although a hundred thousand spirit stones seemed like a lot, they were the spirit stones accumulated by the Qi Ling Sect from generation to generation.

The Qi Ling Sect is generous to its disciples, so it's naturally not a big deal when the number of people is small, but when the number of people is large, it becomes a heavy burden.

One hundred thousand spirit stones can only support three to five years at most, otherwise the disciples’ monthly salaries cannot be paid.

He originally thought that the Qi Ling clan was very wealthy, but once it came into his hands, he found himself penniless.

As for the spiritual objects and artifacts in the ancestral hall, they are the foundation of the sect and should not be moved lightly. Moreover, spiritual stones are only the currency circulated among Qi-refining disciples. True cultivators often barter with each other, and the value of spiritual objects cannot be measured with spiritual stones.

But for low-level disciples, spirit stones are indispensable!
Seeing that his ancestor was in trouble, Wang Lengchan suggested: "Since the income from Wenshan Market is gone, why not go to the more distant Sanqing Market or Shangxing Market?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said bluntly: "Everyone in the world is here for profit. Now I am the only true cultivator in Qi Ling Sect. I can't support the sect alone. No matter where I go, nothing good will come out.

Unless, it meets the needs of others!"

The three peak masters were all smart people, and they naturally knew that the true cultivation of mind skills was weaker than the magic skills in terms of fighting strength. They would not embarrass the ancestor by asking why the income of Wenshanfang was gone.

Chu Ziyi said carefully: "The best way to spend spiritual stones is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Since increasing revenue is not possible for the time being, why not reduce expenditure first?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two peak masters secretly thought that they were in trouble.

After all, once you cut costs, you have to reduce the income of the disciples. Who would be willing to do this if they offend people? And the most important thing is that it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but it is difficult to go from luxurious to simple. The disciples have been accustomed to high monthly salaries. Now that they are suddenly reduced, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the people, which is not conducive to the overall stability of the sect.

Li Yuan felt that there was much that could be done. After all, if he did not cut costs, the sect would not have spirit stones to pay monthly salaries, which would be a huge crisis.

If the monthly salary is a little too low, the disciples may just complain, but if there is no monthly salary, that would be a different matter.

But how to implement it is very different.

"How many disciples, deacons, and elders are there in each category at the Three Peaks?"

Li Yuan asked.

Chen Guan said, "There are more than 180 ordinary disciples in Lingfeng, nearly 70 deacon disciples, and nearly 20 elders."

Wang Lengchan replied: "Qi Feng has nearly a hundred ordinary disciples, more than thirty deacon disciples, and only nine elders left."

Chu Ziyi continued, "There are more than 350 ordinary disciples at Xuanfeng, more than 100 deacon disciples, and 18 elders."

Before the beast tide, the number of Qi Ling Sect disciples reached a terrifying 1,500 people, and now there are many casualties in each peak. But the remaining 800 people is not a small number, not to mention other various minor expenses, the monthly salary is a huge sum of money.

Li Yuan pondered for a long time, took out a plan he had thought of long ago, and said bluntly: "Since it is an ancient clan, then we should follow the example of our ancestors and restore the ancient system.

All disciples in the initial stage of Qi Refining will be relegated to outer disciples, with a monthly salary of one spirit stone and half a pound of spirit rice.

Disciples in the middle stage of Qi Refining are divided into inner disciples, with a monthly salary of three spirit stones and one pound of spirit rice.

Disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining are all called Deacons, with a monthly salary of six yuan and three kilograms of spiritual rice.

Among them, the monthly salary of Qifeng Deacon is eight yuan and five catties of spiritual rice to comfort him for his hard work in the sect's disaster. I think the disciples of the other two peaks will not be dissatisfied, right? "

"Of course." Chen Guan said hurriedly: "A total of thirteen Qi Feng elders died or sacrificed in this battle, so we should pay attention to it."

"Thank you for your mercy, ancestor!" Wang Lengchan bowed hurriedly.

Many elders in the peak complained to him, saying that the Wang family had spent so much effort, and that their ancestors had fought one after another to protect the sect, and that they had made such great contributions but were not valued at all in the sect.

Li Yuan continued, "I looked through the various spiritual resources in the sect and found that the chores were too heavy. Many spiritual materials were not enough to support the most efficient puppet refining. Many times, we had to wait for the spiritual materials to be replenished before we could proceed to the next step.

The general affairs will be restored to their original time limit, changed to three months a year, divided into three seasons. This will ensure that the disciples can make puppets and various spiritual materials with the highest efficiency without wasting time. "

Upon hearing this, several people felt that it made sense. After all, their monthly salary had been reduced, and if they had to do chores with the same intensity as before, the disciples would naturally be dissatisfied.

But now, the miscellaneous affairs have been reduced, and the disciples' resentment has been reduced a lot.

"In addition, I think that the only way for the sect to make a living is too weak. It would be better to set up another way to earn spirit stones." Li Yuan brought up this topic, "This way, it can be regarded as opening up new sources of income."

"Another method?" Wang Lengchan frowned and said, "But any method is not easy to accomplish, and requires a large amount of spirit stones.

There is also the most important secret method of inheritance, and we have to compete with other similar items. If we set up the gate now, the spiritual stones in the gate may not be able to support it. "

"Ancestor, have you thought of some kind of business?" Chen Guan did not express his disapproval directly.

Li Yuan laughed, as if he had already planned it, and said: "There are four methods of talismans, weapons, formations and pills. The relatively easier one is to make talismans!"
