Li Yuanba, He Wei and Liu Gang completed the handover of the garrison at Zhenbei Island. The three Jindan cultivators who came to replace them looked very bad.

No matter who knows that the originally safe and easy mission actually involves the danger of facing the Nascent Soul ancestors, they will have the same expression as these three new Jindan cultivators.

On the contrary, Li Yuanba and the other two, who had experienced danger, were in a good mood.

The danger has passed, the mission has been completed, and they only need to return to the sect.

Moreover, since they guarded Zhenbei Island, the reward for this mission will be greatly increased.

You know, once Zhenbei Island is destroyed, rebuilding it is not an easy task and requires a huge amount of resources.

Li Yuanba, He Wei and Liu Gang left Zhenbei Island together. Having experienced life and death together, they had developed some friendship.

Of course, He Wei and Liu Gang made friends with each other deliberately, because Li Yuanba was not only powerful in combat, but also had a strong background.

In the Demonic Sect, Senluo Sect, it is extremely important for the two Jindan cultivators to make friends with Li Yuanba, who has a strong background.

So on the way back, He Wei and Liu Gang told Li Yuanba the news about the sect they knew, and the three of them had a very pleasant conversation.

After returning to the mountain gate, Li Yuanba discovered the change in the attitude of the sect's monks.

Every Jindan cultivator who meets him will show kindness to him.

He naturally knew the reason, because it was because Patriarch Lu did not go into seclusion but was guarding the mountain gate.

With Patriarch Lu's strength, any Jindan cultivator who accidentally revealed evil thoughts towards Li Yuanba might be discovered by Patriarch Lu.

Therefore, no matter what their thoughts were, the Jindan cultivators in the sect all changed their attitude towards Li Yuanba.

As soon as Li Yuanba returned to the sect, Great Elder Situ sent him a notice asking him to come over.

Returning to the special room in Senluo Palace and standing on the small island in the center of the lake, Li Yuanba met the Great Elder Situ.

"I have read the mission briefing for guarding the island. You played a huge role in this mission. The sect will not treat meritorious officials unfairly. You have directly passed the probation period and become an elder of the sect!" Elder Situ said with a smile as he looked at Li Yuanba.

This time, the battle between the fourth-grade sea beast and the Nascent Soul ancestor destroyed the two guarding islands in that sea area, and only Zhenbei Island was preserved.

This was due to the timely arrival of Patriarch Lu, but more importantly, Li Yuanba controlled the formation to withstand the impact of the aftermath of many battles and protected Zhenbei Island in the hands of Nascent Soul Patriarch.

The mission briefing was compiled by Li Yuanba, He Wei, Liu Gang, and the monks from Zhenbei Island, as well as the battle records of the large formation.

Senluo Sect has a complete set of reward and punishment rules for mission rewards. Li Yuanba’s contribution this time was very great, so the reward he received was naturally increased.

Li Yuanba was a little surprised that he became a sect elder after just one mission.

The elders of a sect are considered to be the senior leaders of the sect and can participate in the affairs of the sect.

Of course, there are differences between the elders of a sect. It depends on the affairs the elders are in charge of. The real high-level officials are the Jindan elders who are in charge of the core affairs of the sect.

Li Yuanba did not speak, waiting for the next assignment from Great Elder Situ.

"The sect has decided to send you to guard Jieshan Town. You must allocate your time reasonably and do not let the sect affairs affect your cultivation. A cultivator should still focus on cultivation. Power and interests are based on strength!" Great Elder Situ said as he operated.

Guarding Jieshan City is an extremely difficult task. This is not an ordinary guarding, but a long-term guarding task.

In the past, Li Yuanba represented the sect to manage Jieshan City. A large amount of resources flowed through Jieshan City every day, and he did not need to actively ask for his position, and the corresponding resources would be allocated to him.

With such a good mission, there are naturally many Jindan elders who want to take it.

But who can blame Li Yuanba for the fact that his grandmaster, Ancestor Lu, has been guarding the sect in recent times, and Li Yuanba also displayed outstanding formation control capabilities when he was in Zhenbei Island.

The ability to control formations plays an extremely important role in protecting an important city, so the sect’s top leaders gave this task to Li Yuanba.

"The corresponding authority has been granted to you. You can use your identity jade disc to control the formation of Jieshan City. When necessary, you need to participate in the protection of Jieshan Checkpoint. Jieshan City and Jieshan Checkpoint have a relationship of mutual protection!" Elder Situ stopped the operation in his hands and explained solemnly.

Li Yuanba knew that under normal circumstances, there would be three Jindan elders guarding the Jieshan Checkpoint. Together with one Jindan elder from Jieshan City, there would be four Jindan elders stationed near the Jieshan Checkpoint.

In addition, whether there is any combat power hidden in the Jieshan checkpoint is a secret of the sect, but he thinks that such an important place must be guarded by more than just three Jindan elders.

So even though Jieshan City is located at the border with the righteous forces, it is actually safer than other garrison points.

"I will follow the sect's arrangements. Thank you, Great Elder!" Li Yuanba said with a smile and bowed.

"You almost got into trouble on your first mission. The mission to Zhenbei Island was arranged by me. I will give you some compensation personally. Whether it's resources or skills, you can ask for them. You're welcome!" said Elder Situ, waving his hand and helping Li Yuanba up.

This was indeed compensation from Great Elder Situ. It was because he almost killed Patriarch Lu's disciple's grandson. Although his role was small, he didn't want Patriarch Lu to keep it in mind.

The longer he stayed in the sect, the more he understood Patriarch Lu's protective character.

Take Elder Jian for example. Elder Jian is a pure sword cultivator. The reason he was able to survive among the many demon cultivators of the Demon Sect, in addition to Elder Jian's strength, was also because of Patriarch Lu's almost overbearing and unreasonable protection of his people.

Especially in order to make it easier for Elder Jian to practice, Patriarch Lu privately invited several Nascent Soul ancestors to destroy a medium-sized sword cultivation sect and take back Wanjian Peak.

Since that time, the voices that dared to target Elder Jian have completely disappeared.

During the incident on Zhenbei Island, Patriarch Lu had a private meeting with Li Yuanba, which allowed many high-ranking members of the sect to see how much Patriarch Lu cared about Li Yuanba.

"Since the Great Elder has said so, I will not be polite!" Li Yuanba's eyes lit up. He was still thinking about how long he would need to garrison in Jieshan City to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for the 'Heaven-Covering and Concealing Secrets Art'. He did not expect that the Great Elder Situ would take the initiative to bring it up.

"I want the 'Heaven-Covering and Concealing Secrets Technique'!" He then stated his request.

"You are really good at picking!" Elder Situ smiled and shook his head.

The "Art of Covering the Sky and Concealing the Secret" is a martial art that is not publicly exchanged by the sect. One needs to have a certain contribution to the sect before it can be exchanged with contribution points.

However, Li Yuanba's identity is not a problem, because he has a good master and a good grandmaster. Although he has been in the sect for a short time, he is definitely a genuine monk of the Senluo Sect.

"It just so happens that I have the 'Art of Concealing the Sky and Hiding the Secret' here. You must memorize it in the sect and then destroy the jade slip. You cannot take the jade slip out of the sect. I believe you will not make a mistake on this!" Elder Situ took out a jade slip and threw it over.

Li Yuanba took the jade slip, placed it between his eyebrows, and put his spiritual thoughts into it.

The content of 'Covering the Sky and Concealing the Secrets' was very extensive, and most of it was complicated secret patterns. He connected his mind to his original body Li Shiming, and with Li Shiming's help of IBM z15, he memorized all the contents of the 'Covering the Sky and Concealing the Secrets' jade slip in just a short time.

In just the time it took to stick up an incense stick, he, in front of Great Elder Situ, slightly moved his spiritual power and the jade tablet turned into powder.

Great Elder Situ was slightly startled but did not ask any further questions. As the cultivators who have reached the Jindan stage all have some little secrets.

Having a strong memory is nothing. There are many kinds of techniques to assist memory in the sect alone, which can enable cultivators to memorize the next technique in a short period of time.

"Although you have the mission of guarding Jieshan City, I still suggest that you take more missions from sects close to Jieshan City to earn contribution points in exchange for cultivation resources!" Elder Situ taught Li Yuanba as an elder.

Although Great Elder Situ is also in the Jindan stage, he is in the late Jindan stage. Whether in terms of age, experience, or status in the sect, he is qualified to guide Li Yuanba.

"I'll pay attention to it!" Although Li Yuanba had his own plans, he did not refute anything. He could sense the concern of Elder Situ.

No matter what the reason is for Elder Situ's concern, it is indeed Elder Situ's good intention.

Li Yuanba left Senluo Hall. He did not stay at the mountain gate for long. He carried Wanjianfeng with him. He thought that the sooner he could settle down, the more time he would have to practice.

More importantly, Jieshan City is across from the sphere of influence of the righteous. Once you have the authority, if you want to bring some things from the righteous, you don't need to be sneaky like before.

A beam of sword light flew out from the mountain gate and headed towards Jieshan City.

Li Yuanba is very familiar with Jieshan City. It is a city with a strong commercial atmosphere and also a relatively important city.

The special thing about this city is that there are shops of the three major sects of the righteous path. This is the channel for the Senluo Sect to exchange resources with the three major sects of the righteous path.

When he arrived, he did not hand over to the previous Jindan elder. He didn't even know who the previous Jindan elder was, but he thought that the Jindan elder might not be in a very good mood.

Anyone who is robbed of an important task or a place that has been used to make money for many years will not be in a good mood.

Li Yuanba came to the gate of Jieshan City Guard Mansion, which is the residence of the Jieshan City Guard monks, and also the Jieshan City formation and daily management center.

Just as he arrived at the gate, a middle-aged man in the middle stage of foundation building who was standing in front of the gate hurried forward to salute.

"Your subordinate Yue Xing greets Elder Li!" Yue Xing behaved extremely respectfully.

"It is better to check the identity jade disc according to the rules to avoid any problems!" Li Yuanba waved his hand and said.

He is about to take over Jieshan City, so he will not make any mistakes in the procedures and cause any unnecessary trouble.

He didn't want to embezzle, but he also didn't want to be cheated.

"Elder Li, please show us your jade disc of identity!" Yue Xing was slightly startled, then bowed again and said.

Li Yuanba took out his identity jade disc, and Yue Xing didn't need to take it to check. Yue Xing had the sub-authority of Jieshan City, so he could directly check the authority of Li Yuanba's identity jade disc.

"Elder Li, your authority has been confirmed. You will take over everything in Jieshan City. I am the deacon of Jieshan City. I was previously in charge of the specific affairs of Jieshan City. You can appoint or dismiss me at any time!" Yue Xing felt uneasy when he said this.

Yue Xing was able to get this job, so he must have some background in the sect.

But no matter how powerful his background is, he cannot compare with the big boss who drove away the previous resident Jindan elder.

What made Yue Xing realize clearly that Li Yuanba had a powerful background was that the previous elder stationed in Jindan did not dare to do anything before leaving, and did not even take away some decorations he had bought for the garrison.

This shows how powerful Li Yuanba's background is, so powerful that even the previous Jindan elder was afraid of him.

"The previous arrangements remain unchanged. You just do your job well. When I settle down, you will report the previous affairs of Jieshan City!" Li Yuanba waved his hand and said.

He didn't care whether Yue Xing had any relationship with the previous Jindan Elder. Anyway, he didn't plan to manage Jieshan City on his own. If Yue Xing did a good job, he would continue to use him. If he didn't, he would replace him.

He believed that there must be many foundation-building monks in the sect who wanted to come here to work. As long as he proposed it, a large number of foundation-building monks would sign up.

"Elder Li, let me introduce the garrison to you!" Yue Xing felt relieved and said more respectfully.

The garrison was divided into two parts, the front part was an administrative organization composed of some mortals and Qi-refining monks, managed by Yue Xing. Its main responsibility was to supervise the operation of various shops in the city and collect taxes.

Of this tax, 90% will be handed over to the sect, and the remaining 10% will be retained as the management fee of Jieshan City.

The large formation of Jieshan City needs to be maintained, and the remuneration of the personnel accounts for a very small part of the management costs. The bulk of the money goes to the elders who guard the Golden Core, and this is also public income.

Don't underestimate this 10%. This is the only resource circulation channel recognized by both the good and the evil. A 10% tax is also extremely generous.

There was nothing special about the first part of the garrison, but when Li Yuanba passed through a gate protected by a formation, he entered the area where the Jindan elders lived their daily lives.

Since there are mortals in the town, the environment that is suitable for the cultivation and living of Jindan monks is deadly dangerous to mortals.

Therefore, the latter part is the space opened up by the space formation and is isolated from the outside world.

There is a Jindan-level spiritual vein in the space to provide for the Jindan elders to practice.

A one-acre second-grade spiritual field was opened up in the space, and a variety of spiritual flowers were planted in the field. In addition to decorating the space and making it more colorful, it also had the effect of regulating spiritual energy.

Next to the spiritual field is a spiritual spring, in which spiritual fish are swimming.

Several buildings were also built with spiritual materials. Although they were different from normal cave styles, the effects were just as good.

The entire space is arranged in a very smart way, and it can be seen that the original owner put a lot of thought into it.

Even three second-grade spiritual tea trees and five second-grade spiritual fruit trees were kept, not to mention the numerous spiritual decorations in the building, which were all worth a lot when added up.
