Chapter 243 Student Union

"Justified? Whose name conforms to whose 'justice'? Whose words conform to whose wishes?" Ning Mingmei said, "As long as it doesn't conform to their wishes, for the sake of justification, ceding five cities today, ceding ten cities tomorrow, in the end, even the price to negotiate with them will be lost."

Fang Wuyu was about to speak, but Yin Xisheng put down his teacup and said sternly, "Junior Brother Fang, you and I have both witnessed what has happened to the Qingji Sect and the world of immortal cultivation over the years."

"How long did it take for the average disciple of Qingji Sect to build his foundation in the past? How long does it take for the average disciple of Qingji Sect to build his foundation now?"

"In the past, how many new Jindan-stage cultivators were added to the Qingji Sect every ten years? How many are there now? In the past, how much manpower and material resources were needed to train a Jindan cultivator in the Qingji Sect? How many are there now?"

...In addition, there is Yin Xisheng’s own body. Fang Wuyu thought.

In the past, Yin Xisheng was always sickly, like a lamp that would fall over at the slightest gust of wind. But after Ning Mingmei came out of seclusion, Yin Xisheng's health gradually recovered - although he was still sick for one month out of the twelve months, he was finally able to listen to the principal's speech in the snow. As Yin Xisheng's physical condition improved, Zhang Zhizhen's medical peak score also rose. Everyone knows that the two peaks are deeply bound together in cooperation. The academic committee has Yin Xisheng as its chairman, and even if Zhang Zhizhen is a non-confrontationalist, he still has his own seat.

Moreover, it’s not that the world of immortal cultivation does not have enough resources, but that the cultivators do not know how to use them efficiently. A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can refine a piece of top-quality ore into the size of a grain of rice, with the rest being completely lost. This was the way the cultivators in the immortal world practiced in the past. Under Ning Mingmei's adjustment, these ores can now be graded for use. The part with the most impurities is enough for the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the following part is for the Golden Core Stage... and the final purified part is for the Nascent Soul Stage. So everyone can use it.

The disciples no longer cling to the remaining pages of ancient martial arts. Are the ancient ones always the best? The ancients were able to come up with techniques, so why can’t modern people come up with better ones? Moreover, modern people can publish papers, obtain patents, and set up independent portals to collect money for their ideas... The trend of creating original techniques in the world of immortal cultivation is also on the rise.

Fang Wuyu finally said dejectedly: "Yes, we all saw it. But Master..."

The belief that Master deserves respect has been firmly planted in his heart. Ning Mingmei said: "We don't need to rush. They will eventually take action."

"We just wait for them to make their move."

If the Elders want to intervene in a neat way, they will definitely find a flaw in their hands. Ning Mingmei thought hard but couldn't think of any possible loopholes.

He waited for Master Wuwei to make another move, but this wait lasted a long time.

…

The incident of being caught in the rain during the first class of the new semester did indeed make some disciples feel dissatisfied with Master Wuwei. Unfortunately, this criticism did not gain much momentum. And soon, blurry photos of Wu Wei's real speech began to circulate on the Internet.

Photography is not allowed in the gymnasium during the first class of the semester. Thus, a few blurry secretly taken photos were passed around, further casting a veil of mystery over this person with the highest level of cultivation in the Qingji Sect. The disciples who were playing games, eating takeout, or sleeping on the bed all stood up and started discussing the purpose of Master Wuwei attending the opening ceremony.

"Master Wuwei has been in seclusion for many years. Now that he has come out, the world is going to change... I just hope that it is the Qingji Sect that is changing, not the world. The current situation in the world of immortal cultivation should not be so chaotic yet."

"Although Immortal Ning is the last disciple of Immortal Wuwei, I wonder if Immortal Wuwei would be willing to give some guidance to his current disciples. That's at the Mahayana stage! There are only a few people at the Mahayana stage in the entire world of immortal cultivation!" someone sighed.

"If we can get the approval of Master Wuwei, then we can enter other peaks freely. Brother Lian, where are you going?" the disciple asked.

Everyone turned around at once. Lian Chengyue stood up gracefully under everyone's gaze and said, "Let's go to the Student Union."

Before he left, he said, "You guys, don't forget the forms you have to hand in later."

Lian Chengyue doesn’t care how the sky of Qingji Sect changes. Even if the sky turned into earth, it could not stop Lian Chengyue from becoming the monitor, the class representative... and joining the student union.

In order to become the new king of Qingji Sect, Lian Chengyue did a lot of homework about credits.

There are many mountains within the Qingji Sect. Although the inner disciples need to rely on courses for training, most of them have joined different sects early on. For example, those disciples who have colleges and are assigned to Sikong Hall, Yuting Peak and the like have basically chosen their own mountains early on - that is, different managers/research teachers in the college or department, or they can also be called backers.

Thus, the disadvantages of Mingdao Academy were revealed. It is said that it is a joint general education program among various departments, but in fact, it is not related to any department and stands alone. Not only is it difficult to find a backer, it's also difficult to socialize. Those disciples who entered XX's school have already become familiar with a large group of their classmates and senior sisters and brothers. At the moment, the disciples of Mingdao Academy only have counselors, but no senior students.

Therefore, Lian Chengyue needs to find a place where he can radiate his influence and at the same time obtain more information and network resources. Based on this need, he observed several existing student organizations within the inner sect.

The society is not very good. The disciples are distributed in too many clusters and their backgrounds are too diverse. Lian Chengyue has no intention of occupying his time with hobbies. However, after careful selection, he still chose two targets: one was the Qingji Volunteer Service Club, where Lian Chengyue could take on volunteer tasks and accumulate volunteer service credits (needed to apply for scholarships); the other was a little-known club that engaged in investment and wine tasting. Lian Chengyue discovered that the disciples in this society were either rich or noble, and they were also vaguely connected to the well-known brotherhoods in the inner sect.

Lian Chengyue doesn't plan to join the second club in a hurry. Being too impatient will cause you to lose face and be looked down upon by others. In addition, Lian Chengyue also took a look at the student organizations in the school.

One is the school student union. This is something Lian Chengyue would definitely add to expand her network and build good relationships with the teachers. She can also get credits for student activities, with five points for being the president, four points for being a department head, and two points for being an officer. The other one is more exclusive, called the Academic Master Club, which has strict requirements on the academic ranking of the disciples who want to join. However, as the top scorer, Lian Chengyue received an invitation as soon as he entered the school. Considering the potential academic, competition and teacher resources that the Academic Club possesses, Lian Chengyue feels that it is necessary to join this organization. Moreover, in order to get full competition credits, Lian Chengyue needs to participate in competitions such as the "Five Schools Inner Disciple Mathematical Modeling Competition" organized by the five schools. Many of these competitions require group participation, and Lian Chengyue hopes that he can find suitable and experienced teammates in the club.

In addition, there are credits for arts and physical education expansion. Lian Chengyue needs to find an arts or sports club to join in activities, and participate in two school performances/competitions a year to get the full three points. The advantage of this kind of club is that the members’ purposes are relatively pure, and if you get along well with them, it is easy to establish a good and pure friendship. Moreover, these societies are likely to be populated by simple-minded rich second-generations.

When Lian Chengyue got the secretariat clerk badge, he checked the organization he wanted to join against the Qingji Sect's annual comprehensive evaluation form for inner disciples to ensure that there were no mistakes. The minister was very satisfied with Lian Chengyue's humble and low-key appearance, and asked him to sit down and take charge of the shift first.

"Are you the top student among this year's freshmen?" someone greeted him.

Lian Chengyue said yes and communicated with them in a friendly manner, but in his heart he was extremely annoyed by the gossip surrounding him. Unfortunately, living in someone else's organization means you will be subjected to this kind of torture. Lian Chengyue therefore regarded this as part of his own experience. He can use this to learn the management model that the disciples of Qingji Sect have adapted to and use it to create his own organization.

An organization of his own that can bring resources together!

The structure of the Qingji Sect's inner disciples' student union is centered around the presidium, which consists of several major departments: publicity, liaison, academics, culture and sports, arts, life rights, community center, overseas exchange center, and a secretariat. Among them, the first few departments are responsible for their own areas, but only the secretariat has the most unique functions: liaison, assessment and accounting - commonly known as reimbursement.

If the community center wants reimbursement, it has to go through the secretariat. If the Liaison Department wants reimbursement, it has to go through the Secretariat. If the Ministry of Culture and Sports wants reimbursement, it has to go through the Secretariat. In short, if you want to get the money, you have to go through the secretariat!

Lian Chengyue believed that he would be able to get to know a lot of people through this method.

The student union officers need to be on duty. This afternoon, it was Lian Chengyue's turn, who had just passed the interview and joined the Student Union. The Student Union and the Scholarships Department are located in two buildings opposite each other. At the beginning of the new semester, Lian Chengyue saw people coming and going in the Scholarship Department, but no one was interested in the Secretariat.

With his ears filled with boring gossip from his seniors, Lian Chengyue could only lower his head to look through historical materials and memorize some Level 4 vocabulary in Yinyu.

"Speaking of which, Master Bai is trying to break through and has been in seclusion for almost two months. How come there is still no movement?"

"It's still Immortal Ning who breaks through easily. He breaks through immediately without any hesitation..."

"Hello, I'm here to hand in the reimbursement documents for the Overseas Exchange Center."

Finally someone came and my ears can be quiet for a while. Lian Chengyue took the watch from the man and said, "Please show me your student ID."

After seeing the certificate, Lian Chengyue was slightly stunned.

From Piaomiao Peak?

But why... this year of admission... if Lian Chengyue remembered correctly, the leaders of Piaomiao Peak had already graduated by the fifteenth year?

The three words "Bai Bugui" were clearly written on the student ID card. Lian Chengyue raised his eyes and found that the visitor had noticed his hesitation, so he winked at him casually: "Hey, new here? Want to enter Piaomiao Peak?"

Lian Chengyue remained calm and said, "Brother, please confirm the information on the form. The year of enrollment is..."

Bai Bugui: ...

The senior student went out and ran errands for the junior student from the Overseas Exchange Center, and was directly awarded because of his graduation year. Bai Bugui’s eyes went dark. Soon, he discovered that it was not just his eyes that were darkening.

It was getting dark outside.

"Such a thick cloud...Master Bai is about to break through! Come and watch the live broadcast!"

The people in the secretariat shouted, and everyone crowded in front of the screen to witness new history. Lian Chengyue just frowned and glanced at the slowly rotating clouds in the sky - then he discovered that these clouds seemed different from the clouds that ordinary people used to overcome tribulations.

"This is……"

When he turned around, he found that Bai Bugui beside him had his eyes wide open.
