Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 162 Accident
The weather was excellent today, with clear blue skies. He arrived early at his office in the Spirit Hall of Nalan City, a private space specially arranged for him by his master, Zhao Qingyun, for both cultivation and work, complete with his own villa courtyard. He had now been established as a hero and role model by the Spirit Hall, and was its youngest elder.

The Spirit Hall is still under reconstruction, and people are busy working.

As soon as he arrived at the office, servants came to bring him tea and water, attending to his every need and arranging his schedule for the day. This made Lan Tian feel very uncomfortable; for the first time, he felt a sense of responsibility and duty. This was his new job—becoming an elder, working tirelessly to revitalize the Spirit Hall—and he was truly finding it difficult to adjust.

Just as Lan Tian was still feeling lost, a servant came in to announce that a guest had arrived, so he hurried to the reception room.

"Instructor Xing Meng, Instructor Qi Fei, hahaha and classmates, this, this makes me so happy! I can finally see you all!"

When the blue sky came out and I saw everyone together, I was so happy! We've finally all gathered together after so long!

"Please sit down, please sit down! We've missed you all so much all these years!"

Haha, everyone was surrounded by the joy of reunion, everyone was very excited, and everyone was working happily together. It turned out that after Lan Tian and his team went to the Shura Empire for the competition, the Spirit Hall arranged for them to return to the Nalan City branch. The subsequent war did not affect the remote Nalan City, so they were all lucky enough to survive. Although the Spirit Hall was disbanded and they all went home, their feelings for the Spirit Hall remained, and this bond was deep. This time, they returned without hesitation, wanting to contribute to its reconstruction. However, this time they would all return to the Spirit Hall as instructors, and from now on, they would be colleagues, friends, and classmates.

"Elder Lan, it feels so strange, we're all going to have to call you that now!"

Xing Meng said to Lan Tian, ​​"He has surpassed me in the past few years. Now he is a shining star of the Spirit Hall, a hero and role model that everyone follows."

"Instructor Xing, I will always be your student, and you will always be my teacher. You can all call me Lantian, but I am still the same person I always was."

Lan Tian was worried that everyone might not get along well, so he made his position clear: he still preferred the friendship they had before.

"Haha, good, good, good, everyone, don't be shy, you can call me whatever you want. The most important thing is that we all need to devote ourselves to the reconstruction of the Spirit Hall. The situation on the Blue Card Continent is really too bad right now, and we need everyone's dedication and contribution."

As soon as Instructor Qi Fei spoke, everyone immediately fell silent, unable to utter a word, truly feeling a sense of pent-up frustration.

"Don't worry! We've come back to rebuild our homes, create new glories, never give up, never abandon or give up, and recreate our glorious past."

Lan Tian said to everyone, "Now that we're all together, we have a goal to strive for, and we have the motivation to move forward. As long as we're all here, the Spirit Hall still exists, and the Blue Card Continent has the hope of regaining its glory."

Now that the two great empires of the Blue Card Continent have been destroyed and the country no longer exists, each region is divided into its own territory and constantly fighting. As a result, the Spirit Hall has no financial support and no income. The biggest problem for reconstruction right now is how to solve the problem of funding.

"Everyone, what should we do now? We're out of money; the money the city lord gave us is almost gone," Lan Tian said to everyone.

Xing Mengdao said, "Now that we have no source of income, reconstruction will be very difficult. We should explore multiple income channels and have our own shops, mines, land and forests."

“That’s right! We need to do business, recruit students, and charge fees. Otherwise, how will we survive and maintain our daily expenses?” Qi Fei said. He realized that without money, nothing could be done. “I also think we need to start charging fees as soon as possible, recruit students, and train talent. The world is dangerous now, and only the strong have a future. As long as we can train high-level experts, we will have more and more students,” Lan Tian said.

Everyone shared their opinions. Lan Tian listened attentively; he needed to collect everyone's opinions and report them to Zhao Qingyun so they could make a decision.

A meeting turned into a conference, and everyone expressed their opinions. The Spirit Hall is in a really difficult situation now. Without the support of the Luo Yi Empire, it can't even pay the salaries of its instructors and staff. It's hard to know what to do next.
After everyone went back, Lan Tian fell into deep thought. He felt that he was not good at management and was helpless in the face of the current difficulties of the Spirit Hall. Although he could provide some financial assistance, it would not solve the problem of future development. He needed to plan carefully and get his master to make a decision as soon as possible.

In an instant, Lan Tian arrived at Zhao Qingyun's office door. Without announcing himself, he went straight to the reception room and shouted loudly.

"Master, Master"

"Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong? What serious incident has happened?" Zhao Qingyun said impatiently.

Lan Tian said, "Something extremely urgent has happened, and we're out of money!"

"I already know what happened! It can be resolved immediately," Zhao Qingyun said to Lan Tian.

"How do we solve this?"

"This is none of your concern. Just tell everyone to rest assured that we'll be able to resolve this once the two elders return!"

Zhao Qingyun confidently told Lan Tian that he had already given instructions to them to take over the assets of the Spirit Hall in various locations and bring the Spirit Hall's deposits in Luo Yi City back to Nalan City. They should be back soon!
After hearing what his master said, Lan Tian was no longer worried. He went back to comfort everyone and told them to focus on their work, rebuild the place as soon as possible, and concentrate on cultivating and improving their cultivation.

Soon after, Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing returned from the underwater city. Everyone busied themselves recruiting new students and cultivating more talent. Recruitment advertisements were distributed throughout Nalan City, quickly spreading the news far and wide. The Spirit Hall had returned and was recruiting new students; people flocked to send their young masters and ladies to study and cultivate there.

To maintain its daily expenses, the Spirit Hall charges high fees and conducts rigorous assessments for new students. Those who do not meet the requirements are not accepted; the minimum requirement is sixth rank. As a result, the number of applicants dropped by more than half, leaving only wealthy young men. This year's cohort truly lacked any outstanding students.

However, in such chaotic times, wealthy people all hope to cultivate their descendants into high-level powerhouses, so that they can better protect their families and their property.

Previously, the Spirit Hall, supported by the Luo Yi Empire, was extremely famous, with numerous high-level experts emerging. It was a powerful organization on the Blue Card Continent, and everyone wanted to send their children there to cultivate. However, after that powerful figure destroyed the two great empires, he also wiped out the Spirit Hall and the Asura Hall, causing them to disband and disappear.

To be able to destroy two empires and two major powers by one person—what a level of skill that is! What terrifying cultivation level that has been achieved! No wonder the Blue Card Continent has never produced a god-level expert.

Lan Tian also couldn't understand who this mysterious figure from the realm of gods was, or how he suddenly appeared on the Blue Card Continent, turning the place upside down, making it dark and treacherous.
