Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 209: Divine Academy
Yi Dong looked at Yi Fu who was kneeling below.

But I wasn't too angry.

He knew very early on that no two leaves are exactly alike; similarly, human nature is diverse, and it is difficult to predict what a person will do.

No matter how bad Yi Daocheng's behavior is, it's not that bad.

As far as Yi Dong knew, there were many people in the family who did things in private that were even more excessive than Yi Daocheng.

Yidong is not a spiritual stone, so he cannot be liked by everyone.

The Yi family has been established for 240 years and now dominates an entire county, but the family does not even have the traditional salary.

Of course, apart from the fixed salary, the Yi family has many other benefits, such as the ability to inherit martial arts skills, various spells, secret techniques and even some ancient magical powers at a very low cost.

Moreover, the Yi family has many sacred places, and most of the immortal cultivators who have a short lifespan and do not have the resources to break through can choose some light work to spend their remaining years in peace.

In addition, the spiritual energy of spiritual veins such as the Shenmu Forest is basically open to family cultivators for free.

Because of all these, the cultivators of the Yi family enjoy a lot of family benefits.

However, greed is human nature.

Some people think that if they complain about Yi Dong privately or do something that harms the family's interests, Yi Dong will not know.

In fact, Yi Dong’s “Thinking Hall” keeps the formation surveillance records of all the Yi family’s spiritual lands. As long as Yi Dong wants, he can retrieve the relevant records of a clan member at any time.

With the "Palace of Thinking", Yi Dong's memory will not "fade". He basically knows what his tribesmen did and said in the several spiritual places in the past.

Of course, Yi Dong didn’t know about some of the things that some of the tribesmen said during the maintenance of the formation.

Some Jindan immortal cultivators have never been able to apply for infant-forming loans from No. 2 because those people have either complained about Yi Dong in the past or said some inappropriate things about Yi Dong in private.

These people's crimes do not deserve the death penalty, but Yi Dong will never help them advance to the Nascent Soul stage. It would be fine if they could advance on their own.

Otherwise, dying of old age in the Jindan realm would be Yi Dong’s final mercy.

Similarly, Yi Dong also knew about Yi Daocheng's affairs.

Nowadays, many families in the Yi family gradually stop using Bu Tian Dan frequently.

The person with the highest status in the Yi family is Jin Xiu.

And now Xiu’s life span is also very long, which can well guarantee the interests of some small groups.

Over in the Ten Directions Insect Territory, there is a cultivator who has established his foundation in the Heavenly Dao, named Zhao Xianzong.

Over in the Shenmulin, there is a Dongfang Shuo who is the same age as Yi Yan and Yi Ze.

During the ferocious beast rebellion, after the Great Awakening Puppet left, the Ten Directions Insect Territory was basically managed by Zhao Xianzong and the three sisters Fang Fei.

From the treatment given by Zhao Xianzong, it can be seen that Yidong is still able to accommodate Jin Xiu who is not of his bloodline.

Therefore, many people in the Yi family also want to give birth to descendants with natural spiritual roots and follow the path of modern cultivation.

In fact, Yi Dong felt that Zhao Xianzong and Dongfang Shuo were not real members of the Yi family, and he did not take those two people seriously.

Zhao Xianzong is the son of Yi Dong's adopted sister Fang Li, and Dongfang Shuo is the grandson of Yi Mo who is not included in the family tree. In Yi Dong's eyes, these two people are not members of the Yi family at all.

Yi Fu’s great-grandson, Yi Mingxian, is considered a true member of the Yi family.

Originally, Yi Dong was considering whether he should share some of the basic knowledge of modern cultivation with other members of the family with natural spiritual roots who would be born in the future to learn.

But who would have thought that before Yi Mingxian grew up, his father was so weird.

Perhaps in Yi Daocheng's eyes, he, Yi Dong, has the responsibility and obligation to provide certain support to the younger generations of the Yi family.

To be honest, Yi Dong was a little shocked when he saw the video about Yi Daocheng's remarks.

He really didn't understand. Yi Daocheng had already established his foundation and was no longer a child. How could he see that Yi Dong needed to be responsible for the Yi family?

You have to know that the Yi family of Zijin Mountain was not inherited by him, and has nothing to do with the ancestors of the Yi family.

It was Yi Dong who built up the Yi family in Zijin Mountain step by step.

As for the original Purple Mountain, Yidong believed that it was the legacy he should inherit and had nothing to do with other members of the tribe.

If it weren't for the fact that Yi Fu had been working hard over the years and had kept flawless private records, Yi Dong would have already driven Yi Daocheng away.

He glanced at Yi Fu, who had already reached Nascent Soul stage but was kneeling on the ground.

Yi Dong couldn't help but think of the scene when Yi Fu and Yi De came to greet him when he left Qingzhu Taoist Temple.

Yi De was not dead, he was also preparing to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Both of them have made great contributions.

Since Yi De was not dealt with, Yi Dong naturally would not deal with Yi Fu.

Besides, it wasn't Yi Fu who made the mistake. The lifespan of a Yuanying stage is 800 years. With all kinds of life-extending spiritual objects, it would be no problem for Yi Fu to live for another thousand or several hundred years.

Yi Fu is the same age as himself, only 259 years old, which means he is young and strong. Yi Dong will not waste him.

"Stand up. There is no such thing as kneeling in the clan law. Don't kneel casually in the future."

After Yi Fu knelt for a long time, Yi Dong spoke lightly.

Yi Fu stood up slowly, his waist slightly bent. His face was still full of guilt, but he didn't say a word of defense.

"You don't have to be the vice-chairman anymore. It just so happens that you were in charge of the underground mines before. Go and hand over the work to Yi Shounan, and you can be the chief elder of the Ministry of Industry.

All right, go down."

Yi Fu bowed and left.

After flying away from Purple Mountain.

Yi Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming here, he was angry, angry that his grandson was not living up to his expectations, but after arriving at Zijin Mountain, he slowly figured it out.

Even if Yi Chengdao's incident had not happened, Yi Dong would not have allowed him to serve as vice speaker for too long.

This was not a question of loyalty or not, but because Yi Fu had too many descendants. In the entire Purple Gold Mountain, the people of Yi Fu's lineage even suppressed those bloodline people of Yi Dong who stayed in several major spiritual places.

It’s not that Yi Fu’s descendants are so outstanding, but simply because Yi Dong’s descendants are few in number and are not valued by Yi Dong. The tribesmen related to Yi Dong in several major spiritual places are found to be the descendants of Yi Feng and Yi Mo respectively.

Yi Mo's branch is not considered a member of the Yi family, and Yi Feng's branch is basically concentrated in Shenmulin.

Unlike Yi Fu, his descendants are present in various sacred places of the Yi family.

The real managers of many spiritual places are the descendants of Yi Fu.

People are dissatisfied with Yi Fu, not only because he has always held great power, but also because many members of the clan are dissatisfied with the fact that his descendants have seized too many benefits.

Even if Yi Dong no longer cares about the Yi family, he will not allow the Yi Fu lineage to continue to grow.

"If you want to gain the long-term trust of the mountain master, perhaps you have to be like Yi Su Nan."

Yi Fu shook his head.

The Yi family has many senior people who can take over his position, so why did Yi Dong choose Yi to suffer?
That's because Yi Shounan can be said to be a lonely man.

He has now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but he does not have a Taoist companion and therefore does not have any offspring.

Even his brother's descendants could not get much help from him.

Among the Yi family, the cultivators in charge of law enforcement are ruthless, but Yi Shounan is even more ruthless than the cultivators in charge of law enforcement.

It is said that many times, his nephews and nieces came to him to beg for some easy and lucrative positions, but Yi Shounan not only did not help them, he even summoned the family law enforcement members to strengthen supervision of his relatives.

Since Yi Shounan's parents were both born mortals and died long ago, and his only brother is still alive but is just a foundation-building cultivator, it can be seen that Yi Shounan really did not help his blood relatives much.

This is also the reason why there are many members of the Yi family who are qualified to replace Yi Fu, but Yi Dong chose Yi Shounan, who has the least experience.

Actually.

Yi Dong replaced Yi Fu, except for some reasons that Yi Fu came up with.

There is another important reason.

That means the deification of the fairyland is about to begin.

Yi Dong doesn't want the gods of the Yi family to be the descendants of Yi Fu in the future.

Purple Mountain, Yidong’s courtyard.

Yi Shounan stood respectfully in front of Yi Dong.

After Yi Dong briefly talked about the news about the Conferred God, he finally said:

“The Immortal Kingdom is planning to build a Divine Academy in the county city. Apart from some people arranged by the Immortal Kingdom, I don’t intend to allow anyone other than the Yi family to become a Divine in Pingyuan County.

I plan to choose the first batch of gods for our Yi family from among mortals.

Go and get ready."

The family tree created by Yi Dong is not the only one that can be included in the family tree by cultivators.

Yi Dong planned to let mortals who were unable to practice cultivation embark on the path of becoming gods after death. In this way, everyone in the Yi family would have a bright future.

Just as only a small number of cultivators can achieve the Nascent Soul stage, only a few mortals can achieve deity status.

Yi Dong did not explain in detail how to choose, and let Yi Shounan do it.

After Yi Shounan left Zijin Mountain, he quickly made arrangements.

If you were to ask where the Yi family has the most mortals, it would definitely be Jinshan City.

After Yishounan completed the preliminary work, the first stop was Jinshan City.

Although Jinshan City suffered certain losses during the beast riot, it recovered quite quickly.

Today, Jinshan City has become a city of lights and wine.

It is not much different from the modern city in Yidong’s previous life.

Scholars in Jinshan City have developed various electrical appliances that imitate magical instruments.

Those communication equipment can only be used around Jinshan City, but even so, the development here still shocked Yi Shounan who entered Jinshan City for the first time.

The group of immortal cultivators who followed Yi Suffering were also quite shocked.

Those who follow Yi Shounan are all people recognized by Yi Shounan. Now, they are considered Yi Shounan's team.

These people are elite members of a tribe who have practiced diligently since childhood. They have heard of decadent places like Jinshan City but have never been there.

Now, their spiritual consciousness has been expanding, and they have observed that in addition to the prosperous spiritual entertainment that makes people lose themselves, Jinshan City also has some creations that open their eyes.

For example, many small mobile phones can transmit voice and video, which are much more convenient than the communication panels used by cultivators.

There are also a variety of high-power electric vehicles and various computing appliances.

What impressed the most was the city’s literacy rate.

There is no such thing as free education in the fairyland.

In many villages and towns, there are not many literate people.

First, there is no need. In many ordinary families, careers are passed down from generation to generation.

The second is that learning is very expensive. Most of the families rely on farming for their living. Even if the fairyland does not have any messy taxes, the cost of cultivating literacy for future generations is still very high.

Moreover, the fairyland does not have such a way to the sky as the imperial examination. Ordinary officials are subject to assessment, but it can be seen from the fact that most of the ordinary officials in Xia County are members of the Yi family that this assessment does not have much to do with reading and literacy.

Since there is no reward for the effort, the mortals in the fairyland naturally don't care about literacy.

And Jinshan City is full of colleges and libraries.

Through spiritual observation, Yi Shounan discovered that at least 90% of the people in Jinshan City were literate.

"Very good, let's set up the Divine Academy for the preliminary selection here."
