The policy of younger cadres was approved by Immortal Chisong and thus decided by Master Ziwei.

In this operation, Zhenren Changgeng served as the commander-in-chief and Zhenren Qiongying served as the deputy commander.

If it happened in the mortal world, this practice of allowing young people to take power would definitely cause quite a stir.

However, firstly, the momentum building for Master Chang Geng had begun a long time ago, and now his prestige had been sufficiently established; secondly, he had the endorsement of Master Ziwei and Immortal Chisong; and thirdly, cultivators cared more about their own cultivation than the power of the sect, so no one raised any objections and acquiesced to Master Ziwei's arrangement.

Qiu Changtian also naturally came into contact with many things regarding the overall affairs of the Kunlun Sect... To be honest, he was not interested at all.

Wei Dongliu had already dealt with enough affairs and there was no need for him to continue dealing with Kunlun's affairs.

So Qiu Changtian could only use the old method, calling Sister Xu to his side, and said with a smile:

"Junior sister, have you seen these materials?"

"No." Xu Yinglian was very calm, "After all, my senior brother is the one who is responsible for coordinating the overall situation. I didn't look at it."

"Hahaha, you and I are Taoist companions, so what's the difference between us?" Qiu Changtian laughed heartily and took out a piece of material and handed it to her, "Take a look."

Xu Yinglian took it naturally, flipped through it for a while, and said:

"The number of disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage has continued to decline in recent years."

"There are two reasons." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "One is that the number of people who have reached the Jindan stage is relatively large in recent years, and the other is that the number of external disciples recruited is indeed small."

"It's mainly the latter." Xu Yinglian said thoughtfully, "There are fewer and fewer disciples who can complete the Kunlun Ascension Road."

"Why not relax the standards?" Qiu Changtian pondered, "If the number of Foundation Establishment disciples cannot keep up, I'm afraid that after a few generations, it will affect the overall structure of Kunlun cultivators."

"Not very good." Xu Yinglian objected, "Completing the road to heaven within three days is a hard requirement to become a Kunlun disciple."

"If this condition is relaxed, not only the elders, but also the current disciples will have objections."

"That's true." Qiu Changtian naturally understood this truth, just like the landlord in the same community who was unwilling to let his neighbor lower the price of the second-hand house. "So what's your plan, Junior Sister?"

"In the past, most of the people who joined our Kunlun sect were members of cultivation families and children of high-ranking officials of various small and medium-sized sects." Xu Yinglian pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "To put it simply, it was these people's backgrounds and connections that allowed them to be exposed to cultivation earlier."

"In other words, among those seekers from poor backgrounds, are there many who also have the talent for cultivation, but are unable to pass Kunlun's entrance test due to family circumstances and other reasons?"

"If we can set up Taoist temples all over Shenzhou, hire Taoist priests from the mortal world, and search for poor children with talent for cultivation, wouldn't it be better for us to find talents for our sect?"

Qiu Changtian was slightly surprised when he heard this.

It’s not that Junior Sister Xu’s plan is bad, on the contrary it is very brilliant - that’s how admissions offices came into being in modern society, and major universities already have very mature plans.

However, this is a world of cultivation where management efficiency is extremely primitive!

In more enterprising sects like the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, the elders would run around Shenzhou, grabbing any disciples they liked and making them their disciples (for example, Wei Dongliu accepted Guo Jin and Wang Xun as his disciples, and Elder Cai E accepted Jiang the Witch).

But most of them are wooden operations - I am here, silent. If you come to learn from me, I will not be happy; if you don't come, I will not be sad.

Anyway, just lie down and wait for others to invest.

Kunlun, Shushan, Penglai, and most of the larger sects basically do the same thing. Some even call it "ruling by doing nothing", believing that not caring about anything is the highest essence of management... In such an environment, Sister Xu actually thought of setting up admissions offices, which is really a feat that breaks the mold of thinking.

What reason do you have to refuse?

"Junior sister, what you said is very good. Let me add a few words." Qiu Changtian's mind also became active. He simply brought over the management system of later enterprises and said with a smile, "First of all, the Taoist priests must be selected from our Kunlun's outer disciples. This is to ensure the centripetal force of the major Taoist temples."

"Each outer sect disciple who is willing to be sent to the major Taoist temples in Jiuzhou will be awarded a first-class merit and will be allowed to return to Kunlun after a certain number of years. This content will be regarded as a sect mission and the corresponding remuneration will be calculated."

"During the period of overseas assignment, if you can find a talented cultivator, you can directly recommend him to the sect. If the recommendation is successful, you will be given a certain amount of additional rewards."

"In addition, a decree for selecting talented people has been established: any independent cultivator in the world who finds a seed of cultivation can, in addition to accepting the person as a disciple, also choose to recommend him to Kunlun. After verification, Kunlun will also give a certain reward."

Xu Yinglian: ...

The expression on her face changed slowly, and soon became unfathomable.

Originally, if the junior sister asked a question, such as "Senior brother, this strategy looks so familiar. Why is it so similar to the unconventional approach of the evil Wei to spread the Dharma and encourage others?", then Qiu Changtian would naturally answer, "It was inspired by that evil chief."

But Junior Sister Xu's expression, without asking any questions or giving him a chance to explain, made Qiu Changtian feel a little uneasy.

"Brother, what you said is very good." After a while, Xu Yinglian said with a smile.

"Well, Senior Brother, this was also inspired by the Demon Wei..."

"It just so happens." Xu Yinglian said with a smile, "I was also inspired by that Wei devil."

The word "coincidentally" really made Qiu Changtian a little nervous, so he quickly picked up another copy of "Guanzhong Business Strategy" and changed the subject:

"There aren't many mining sites near Chang'an, but if you continue westward past Tianshui, you'll see a lot of spiritual veins becoming more and more dense."

"It seems that our strategic bottom line is Tianshui. We must try to control the front line of the battlefield with the Demon Cult near Chang'an and never let them cross Tianshui."

"That's true." Xu Yinglian also cooperated and was diverted. He said thoughtfully, "But the Iron City Mountain where Shura Road is located lies between our Kunlun and Tianshui."

"If the enemy cuts across from this direction, our connection with the Guanzhong region will be cut off. We must be alert to the Six Paths of the Demon Cult using Tiecheng Mountain as a bridgehead to cut off the front line that surrounds us at a critical moment."

"That's right." Qiu Changtian was quick-witted and said immediately, "From this point of view, we must form an alliance with Shushan and let it contain Tiechengshan from the south!"

"The elders may not agree." Xu Yinglian said tactfully.

When Shushan was besieged in the past, it never asked Kunlun for help. Now Kunlun has to ask Shushan for help. The outside world will not care how many monks were killed or injured when Shushan was alone in supporting the country. They will only think that Kunlun is not as good as Shushan.

"I will personally meet my master and explain the pros and cons." Qiu Changtian said calmly.
