Elven cultivators

Reforming the management system is imperative.

As for how to make specific changes, Anton already had a clear direction in mind.

He could organically combine and adjust the existing disciple system of Taichu City with the structure of traditional immortal cultivation sects to create a tailor-made management system.

The core philosophy of the City of the Beginning has always been "education for all, and meritocracy."

Therefore, the core evaluation criteria of this new system must be the cultivator's cultivation level and contributions to the clan, while also taking into account their temperament, comprehension, and potential for the path of cultivation.

Anton began by writing about the most basic disciple system.

He roughly divided the disciples of Taichu City into three tiers: outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

All members of their own race who pass the spiritual root test and successfully refine their first breath of spiritual energy can become outer disciples.

In addition, those native elves who followed the path of strength inheritance and met the conditions to obtain a spot as a disciple of the Primordial City, as well as members of vassal races who exchanged contribution points for spots, were all initially included in the ranks of outer disciples.

Outer disciples are the cornerstone of Taichu City and the starting point for all new cultivators.

The main task of disciples at this level is to solidify their foundation and prove themselves.

All outer disciples who have just graduated from the Preaching Pavilion have the core task of cultivating their skills, learning combat techniques and spells, mainly to accumulate cultivation and hone their skills.

Each month, they only need to complete a small number of basic chores, such as tending the spirit plant garden, participating in patrols, and organizing the library, in order to receive basic cultivation resources such as low-grade spirit stones and Dragon Essence Pills.

Only after they break through to the late stage of Qi Refining and possess a certain level of combat power can they accept regular missions issued by the Chengshi Hall to earn extra contribution points.

In terms of treatment, outer disciples can live in the collective dormitory in the outer city of Taichu City, but cannot freely enter the inner city.

They can use the facilities such as the meditation room, preaching pavilion, library, and weapon-refining room free of charge.

As for better treatment, such as higher-level cultivation techniques, spells, magical artifacts, or elixirs, one needs to exchange them with contribution points or strive to advance to a higher-level disciple.

The next level up are the inner disciples.

The inner disciples are positioned as the backbone of the clan and are the future high-ranking reserve force.

Disciples at this level have proven their talent and value, and have begun to assume more important responsibilities, becoming deeply involved in the operation of the clan.

There are two main ways to become an inner disciple.

One is that he achieved a breakthrough in cultivation and successfully established his foundation.

Secondly, those who demonstrate outstanding talent in specific fields, such as weapon crafting, alchemy, formations, or beast taming, and make significant contributions to the clan, may be promoted exceptionally with special approval from the clan.

Inner disciples can hold specific positions within the clan, thereby earning a high amount of contribution points.

For example, one could serve as an assistant in the document hall, a teaching assistant in the preaching pavilion, lead a team to carry out exploration or combat missions, or be independently responsible for a small project, such as improving low-level talismans or cultivating new varieties of spiritual plants.

In terms of benefits, inner disciples enjoy a higher allocation of basic resources than outer disciples.

They can obtain independent, well-equipped courtyards within the inner city of the Primordial City, enjoying a cultivation environment with higher energy concentrations.

Contribution points can be used to access advanced cultivation facilities in the Nine Heavens Tower, such as the Enlightenment Stele, the Advanced Pill Refining Room, and the Weapon Forging Room.

At the same time, they can also come into contact with and learn higher-level techniques, spells, and near-divine methods.

As for the most senior disciples, they are the future pillars of the clan, the most precious asset of the Silvermoon Clan, and hold a prestigious position with immense power.

Correspondingly, the requirements for becoming a true disciple are the most stringent.

In addition to successfully condensing the Golden Core within a certain age, one must also obtain the personal consent of the city lord, namely Anton.

Of course, the treatment of true disciples far exceeds that of inner and outer disciples.

They can have their own private quiet room in the Nine Heavens Tower.

They can meet with Anton and Eleanor at any time and participate in some clan decision-making meetings.

They had the authority to mobilize a certain number of Taoist soldiers and clan troops.

They can represent their clan on missions to other powers and possess great autonomy.

In addition, they also have priority access to newly discovered high-level resources of the clan.

Such examples are numerous.

To some extent, true disciples have already stepped into the upper echelons of Taichu City.

In summary, Anton designed this disciple system to provide all disciples with a clear and traceable path to advancement.

The path of cultivation is long. If all disciples are crammed into the same level, no matter how far they cultivate, they will only be disciples. This will seriously weaken their sense of accomplishment and motivation to move forward.

A clear hierarchy can provide them with specific, phased goals.

As long as you work hard to improve your cultivation, you can gain a higher status and more abundant resources.

More importantly, this system values ​​not only cultivation level, but also contribution and expertise.

Even if one's combat talent is slightly inferior, as long as one excels in areas such as weapon crafting, alchemy, formations, and management, one can still be promoted to the inner sect.

They might even have the opportunity to become a true disciple and contribute to the clan.

At the same time, a well-developed disciple system also facilitates more precise resource allocation.

Disciples of different cultivation levels require completely different elixirs, cultivation environments with varying concentrations of spiritual energy, and cultivation techniques.

With a hierarchical system in place, resource allocation can be linked to rank, responsibilities, and contributions, truly achieving "the capable get more, and those in higher positions bear greater responsibilities."

Anton's pen never stopped, and he quickly wrote down the entire framework of the disciple system.

He paused, then shifted his focus to the section on senior management.

In this regard, Anton intends to use the elder structure of the Silvermoon Clan, but with some modifications and refinements.

As the clan continued to grow, it became increasingly difficult for him and Eleanor alone to handle all the affairs.

Although there is still a document room, they can handle some trivial matters, but truly important matters still require high-level decision-making.

Therefore, Anton intends to formally establish the position of elder.

The elders will be primarily responsible for different areas of the clan, such as military affairs, internal affairs, diplomacy, inheritance, and resources, and will be the actual decision-making body of the clan.

After finishing writing, Anton handed the paper directly to Eleanor across from him.

Although the elven girl had already read the general outline, she still carefully read through the paper again from beginning to end after receiving it, her expression serious and focused.

"What do you think?" Anton asked.

Eleanor put down the paper, a bright smile spreading across her face, and nodded emphatically: "I think it's very good. This system is very organized and can solve many of the problems we are currently facing."

"Then let's do it this way." Anton immediately made the decision. "Let's try implementing it first, and then modify or add details based on the specific situation."

Eleanor nodded, then asked, "And what are your plans regarding the selection of elders?"

Without hesitation, Anton said, "The core leadership of the clan will all be transferred to the position of elder. As for the future, any disciple who performs exceptionally well can also be promoted to elder after discussion and approval by me and the elders."

Eleanor nodded to indicate that she understood.

The current core leadership of the clan, besides her, consists of the original three elders, Roman, Cedric, Elena, and Darion.

In other words, the first batch of elders of Taichu City consisted of eight people, all of whom were legendary combatants.

The two then discussed the selection of a true disciple.

There's not much to worry about here; currently only Ryan and Lucius meet the requirements.

Perhaps in a few years, Mia, Flora, and Ivy will also be able to join the ranks of true disciples.

In addition, Anton also plans to establish deacon positions under the elders.

Any disciple of Taichu City who successfully condenses a Golden Core but is older than the standard for a true disciple can be granted a steward position and become a mid-level cadre of Taichu City.

This is prepared for those disciples who are slightly less talented but have persevered through time and accumulation.

"In addition, every now and then, Taichu City can hold competitions to gather disciples for sparring and competition. Disciples who perform well can receive extra rewards."

Anton then made another suggestion.

Eleanor took notes intently, her pen moving swiftly across the paper.

The two discussed it for a while and refined many details.

Only after she felt there were no obvious oversights did Eleanor hurriedly take the newly drafted regulations and leave, throwing herself into the busy work of implementation.

……

Three days later, the City of Primordial announced its new management system.

The news, like a stone thrown into water, stirred up ripples throughout the Primordial City and even the entire Silver Moon Clan.

As Anton had predicted, the new disciple system quickly aroused unprecedented enthusiasm among the disciples once it was implemented.

Outer disciples are striving to advance to the inner sect in exchange for better treatment, higher status, and closer access to the core of power.

Meanwhile, the inner disciples set their sights on the seats of the true disciples, striving to climb towards the higher mountain peak.

Overall, the implementation of the new system is like completing the final piece of the puzzle in the ever-expanding panorama of the Primordial City.

It was no longer an "academy" that relied on Anton and Eleanor's personal prestige and energy to barely survive, but began to transform into a "sect" with self-sustaining capabilities, a clear path to advancement, and the ability to continuously inspire the initiative of its disciples.

Just as the institutional reforms in Taichu City were in full swing, something shocking happened in the northern part of the continent, hundreds of thousands of miles away.

Hamilton, the War Administrator of the Free Alliance, suddenly descended upon the fortress city of Khazadum in the mountains, single-handedly defeating many of the core high-ranking members of Heart of the Mountains, including the current Dwarf King Thorin Fireforge, forcing Heart of the Mountains to surrender to the Free Alliance.

The news caused an uproar throughout the Dawn Continent.

Everyone is clearly aware of one thing.

Hamilton has been promoted to demigod!
