Natural fairy species

Tun Bentang.

Wei Dao attracted a stream of spiritual spring, which swirled and fell into the tea stove. In an instant, the tea boiled and rolled into the three teacups through the small holes.

Lingcha is like a living fish entering the water, rolling up and down, chasing head and tail, and the fragrance ripples in the room.

"Two senior brothers, please drink this tea."

The dignified head of the Qingfeng Sect was making water and serving tea for people. Sitting on both sides were Tan Changkong, the master of the Alchemy Palace, and Luo Qiuzhen, the master of the Fu Palace.

"Junior Brother Wei, are you really determined to let go of this burden?"

Compared with previous years, Tan Changkong's figure was more withered, like a candle in the wind, crumbling.

But the lifeless look on his face disappeared, which was obviously related to the Aragami's success in stealing the sun and his extra longevity.

When Wei Dao first entered the sect, Tan Changkong was already a foundation-building elder. His seniority and seniority were placed here, so he had a lot less scruples when speaking.

"Senior Brother Tan, don't be anxious. Junior Brother Wei always makes decisions before taking action and acts carefully... We can just listen."

Luo Qiuzhen was wearing a purple robe, with runes tattooed on his chest, back, back and sleeves. They seemed chaotic, but in fact they contained the essence of his life's runes.

The Alchemy Palace and Fu Palace represented by these two people are also the strongest supporters of Sect Master Wei Dao.

"I came out of seclusion last time and gained a little bit. I have already found a chance to complete the foundation building... I plan to clean up my tenure in the past two years, and I will go into seclusion to attack."

Wei Dao put down the tea cup in his hand, considered his tone, and spoke slowly.

"It's true! The master's junior brother deserves to have the qualifications of the supernatural spirit. He is far ahead of us old guys!"

Luo Qiuzhen's expression was complicated. Every step forward in the foundation building stage was a qualitative breakthrough. At the age of defending, the foundation building was completed, and the door to forming pills was already half open to him.

Compared with Jiedan Avenue, it is certainly not a pity to give up the position of a leader.

"Okay, since Junior Brother Wei wants to strive for the foundation building perfection, it is not appropriate to continue to take on the responsibilities of the leader. But we need to discuss carefully, what should we do with the vacant position?"

At Tan Changkong's age, he has long since lost his thoughts on the great road, and one extra year of his life will be earned.

I just want to make proper arrangements for my descendants and my family before I die.

"We don't have a suitable candidate in our bag. The Law Enforcement Hall is managed by Liang Yu and can't get in... It's a pity that Zhou Bai is there. If we give him another thirty years, his age and cultivation will be just right."

The power of the head of the Qingfeng Sect mainly depends on the personal prestige and means of the person in charge. After all, there is the ancestor Jiedan above, and there are five halls below that are responsible for the responsibilities. It is more coordinated by the palace merchants, presiding over the elders' meetings and external appearance.

Wei Dao has such authority because he can unite the most neutral elders. Even the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall have to admit that during his tenure, the sect's welfare benefits from top to bottom have increased significantly.

The Zhou Bai that Luo Qiuzhen mentioned was the second disciple of Wei Dao, who had been with him since he was a child.

Now in the early stage of foundation building, he usually helps Wei Dao handle some less important affairs. He is sophisticated in his methods and is privately called the little master by many disciples of the sect.

But to be included as a candidate for the head of Qingfeng Sect, the following three points must be met.

In the middle stage of foundation building, if your cultivation is too low, you will lose the sect’s face and you will not be able to suppress the other elders;

He is still in the prime of life, but even at such an old age, he has not enough time to spend on cultivation. He reluctantly takes office, and often retreats for three years. After serving for one month, the position of head has become a decoration;

Be proficient in general affairs, otherwise a leader who only knows how to clean up and not be good at management can set back the welfare benefits of Qingfeng sect disciples by a hundred years in just one term.

"It would really be a headache if someone from the Law Enforcement Hall takes over the position of leader."

The Law Enforcement Hall has the strongest combat power of the Qingfeng Sect. In addition to the five patrol teams, it also has combat formations, large flying boats and other weapons of war. It also has the power to supervise the illegal activities of the sect's disciples.

If there is another leader who comes from the Law Enforcement Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall will completely overwhelm the other four halls, suppressing them with the same power as the Seventh Hall.

Tan Changkong came from the years when the Law Enforcement Palace Department had the exclusive leadership position, and of course he didn't want to go back to the past.

Although alchemists have a noble status and are highly sought after in the world of immortality, there is no sect to collect elixir recipes and alchemy materials for the backend. The efficiency of alchemy by one person is too slow, and there are not so many opportunities to develop alchemy experience.

"There are indeed two junior brothers at the Law Enforcement Hall who seem to be more qualified, but let's change our thinking... What do the two senior brothers think of Junior Brother Gu?"

Wei Dao remained calm, dipped his fingers in tea, and wrote a name on the table.

"Gu Xisheng, how can this be possible? He is more than a hundred years old and is still in the early stages of foundation building. He is not one of our own. Why push him to the top?"

Luo Qiuzhen frowned. Gu Xisheng was a neutral elder with no faction behind him. He was a very inconspicuous person among the more than thirty elders of Qingfeng Sect.

"It's interesting to push Gu Xisheng to be the leader... Junior Brother Wei, please continue."

Tan Changkong thought for a while and said.

"Two senior brothers, Junior Brother Gu has been in charge of the General Affairs Hall over the years. I have tested his abilities many times. In a place like the General Affairs Hall, where he is criticized, he has done a very good job in allocating resources, mediating conflicts, and responding to the requirements of each palace. This is rare. General affairs talents, this is one of them."

Wei Dao raised his second finger and continued.

"Secondly, it is precisely because Junior Brother Gu is not from us that he can get the votes of the Law Enforcement Hall... Bai'er and Junior Brother Gu are running for the position of leader at the same time. You said that Senior Brother Liang and the others will vote if they have no choice. to whom?"

"Finally, it is not a bad thing to have weak cultivation and no faction support. Each of the five halls performs its own duties, and the leader only needs to adjust in the middle."

Tan Changkong and Luo Qiuzhen looked at each other and seemed to have a lot of room for maneuver.

For the Alchemy Palace and Talisman Palace, a weak leader seems to be more in their interests.

There was silence in Dunbentang, except for the sound of boiling water on the tea stove.

…

A long list, with forty or fifty names listed, and marks added.

"Senior Nephew Bai, this is the preliminary list. If you have any favorite candidates, you can submit them and I will add them to the list for you."

Peng Chong waved his hand carelessly. He must have just finished refining the weapon, and his whole body was exuding scorching heat.

There are a total of fifty places for the trip to inherit the monument that takes place once every ten years.

In the first round, the Qingfeng Sect had twenty places, and fifteen cultivating families shared the remaining thirty places.

It was decided at that time that the five families with the worst inheritance results would be deprived of the qualification to participate in the next trip to inherit the stone monument.

However, five more aristocratic families were allowed to move to Black Mountain. Perhaps to stabilize people's hearts, Patriarch Yang personally spoke and gave each family two quotas.

So after going full circle, this time the sect quota remains unchanged.

All inner disciples, as long as they are under twenty years old, will automatically get a quota, and the rest will have to be selected from the outer disciples.

After the previous group, almost all of the twenty disciples returned with inheritance harvests. Those who caused the vision, such as Su Li and Chen Wei, became the focus.

As Bai Zichen joined the sect, what he gained under the inheritance stone tablet was also revealed.

Everyone knows that the Wuyueguan Heritage Stone Tablet is a good thing, so the number of participants has become very popular, and there will never be any more people voluntarily withdrawing like last time.

According to Peng Chong, after returning from that trip ten years ago, some people began to secretly plan the quota for the inheritance of the stone tablet this time.

Apart from the nine inner disciples who meet the age requirements, the remaining candidates have a lot of room for maneuver.
