The Five Elements
Sect is large, but also small. There are many inner sect disciples, because the foundation-building stage automatically promotes to the inner sect. With the size of the Five Elements Sect, there are at least hundreds of people in the foundation-building stage, but there are very few people in the inner sect who are in the Qi training stage.
Generally speaking, there are only three types of people in the inner sect who are in the Qi training stage. One is the genius, who is detected to have a single spiritual root talent or a different spiritual root when entering the sect. The other is the special admission, such as Zhang Shuhua, who has an elder in the family who serves as a senior official in the sect and whose qualifications are not bad. The third is the special admission, which is Lin Jiang, because he has made great contributions to the sect, the sect
makes an exception to admit him to the inner sect. The number of people who are admitted by exception is naturally the least, because in the normal people's thinking, what great contributions can a mere Qi training stage make to the sect? The last time someone was admitted by exception was more than a hundred years ago.
So Lin Jiang immediately became the focus of the inner sect Qi training stage, and Lin Jiang's past was immediately dug out and exposed to the sun.
But they soon discovered that Lin Jiang's past was almost nothing special. He might have performed well in Shanxuetang, but how many people performed well in Shanxuetang? After Shanxuetang, Lin Jiang farmed in Qingyang Mountain for 20 years and almost disappeared. Apart from dealing with Zheng Yi and others, he rarely interacted with others.
It was not until two years before the Ten Thousand Medicine Conference that Lin Jiang began to brush merit points in the Internal Affairs Hall of the Outer Sect, and there were some traces of activity, but logically speaking, there was nothing surprising. Lin Jiang farmed for 20 years and learned a powerful talisman technique, and the money from brushing merit points was nothing.
The only thing that people talked about was Lin Jiang's speculative project at the Ten Thousand Medicine Conference. The three projects, talismans, lunch boxes, and accommodation, were very impressive. Many people were discussing how much money Lin Jiang made this time.
"It must be a lot of money. During the entire Ten Thousand Medicines Conference, those lunch boxes were sold everywhere. The whole Medicine City was filled with those empty lunch boxes, at least a million" "
A million? Are there really so many?"
"What do you think? More than a million people, three meals a day, multiplied by ten days, just imagine how much that would be"
"Not everyone eats it, right?"
"Haha, 90% of the immortal cultivators from other places are in the Qi training stage, and they are all poor. Can they afford to eat in restaurants? As long as 30% of them eat lunch boxes, it would be an astronomical figure"
"That's true"
"If you ask me, they should be fined. The lunch boxes they sell are thrown everywhere after eating, and they look dirty. They have to be charged. It's called a sanitation fee"

"Junior Brother Xiao is probably in trouble,"
Zhang Shuhua said to Zhang Wanjing in Zhang Wanjing's cave. Zhang Shuhua is now officially Zhang Wanjing's disciple. He is both a disciple and a son, and is Zhang Wanjing's founding disciple.
"You underestimate your junior brother, he is fine"
"It is not a good thing to be in the limelight"
"So you don't know your junior brother yet, he is a very good person, this little thing is nothing to him, it doesn't matter if there are discussions outside, as long as Xiao Yi's heart is not shaken, then nothing will happen"
"If he goes out..."
"You can stay in Qingyang Mountain for 20 years, do you think he is as impatient as you?"
Zhang Wanjing said, what public opinion, what discussion, these outsiders' words, can only be useful to those who are not firm in their hearts, as long as the heart is cruel enough, the heart is black enough, the face is thick enough, and can do it, some Yin and Yang words are nothing. It
is indeed dangerous to leave the mountain gate, but if you don't go out, who dares to kill people in the Five Elements Sect?
"Dad, do you think highly of him?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
"I don't think he's that good. Instead, I think he's more mercenary."
"Is mercenary a bad thing? When you were in the Qi training stage, could you earn more than him?"
"No, but not much less,"
said Zhang Shuhua. He was a merit point hunter from the outer sect. He had done so many tasks. How could he earn less?
"You earned it by working so hard. Others earned it by using their brains. It didn't take half a year."
"That's taking shortcuts."
"That's also a skill. There were many people who made money at the Wan Yao Conference. Why didn't you make money?"
"Dad doesn't like to abuse power for personal gain?"
"Of course I don't like to abuse power for personal gain, but if he has real skills, how can I not like it?"
Zhang Shuhua shut up. His father liked Xiao Yi, so whatever he did was right and reasonable. There was no point in refutation.
"Don't look down on your junior brother. Really, Daddy is not lying to you. A warrior starts from the grass. A man who can do this in the Qi training period will definitely not be bad in the future. Although you are brave, you lack flexibility. If one day, I am gone, you brothers should get along well. He can help you a lot in the future."
Zhang Wanjing looked at his son's rather disdainful expression and said earnestly. He also started from humble beginnings. Don't look down on people in the world.

"Senior Brother Yue"
Zhang Wanjing's cave, Yue Qing came to find Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang welcomed him into the cave, for the master, the disciple is like his own son, so Lin Jiang is not qualified to open a cave, so he moved into Zhang Wanjing's cave.
The group rented house moved into Dabieye.
"Junior Brother Xiao, congratulations"
"Senior Brother, don't say that, I am the target of public criticism now"
"Haha, that's because those people are incompetent and can only envy others. Junior Brother, don't think that the inner door is full of dragons and phoenixes, there are also a lot of idiots and good-for-nothings"
"Senior Brother, you scolded me with this" "Junior
Brother, don't be too modest, if you are too modest, others will think you are easy to bully"
Yue Qing said, he looked at Zhang Wanjing's cave, how envious it was, fifty acres in size, except for about one acre of buildings, all the rest were opened up into spiritual fields, planted with expensive spiritual medicines, which are all money.
"Brother, what are you talking about? What do you want to do with me this time?"
"Look at what you said. You can't come to visit me if you have nothing to do. You have risen to a high position and have forgotten your old friend. Don't forget, we slept together for three years."
"Ahem, sleeping in the same yard for three years."
"It's all the same, all the same."
Lin Jiang was helpless. This was different. He really couldn't bear to say that. If he told others, people would misunderstand him.
"Junior brother, how do you think we can get some money?"
"Brother Yue, the Ten Thousand Medicine Conference has only ended for a few days, and you are short of money."
"Hey, junior brother, you are not an outsider. I told you that when I was in the outer sect, I fooled a lot of people to help me, but these were all favors. I can't break the contract. I earned spirit stones and used them to pay off my debts."
Yue Qing said. He was still not cruel enough. When that group of brothers saw that he had made a fortune, they came to him one after another. In fact, they just wanted Yue Qing to repay them. Yue Qing had already spent a lot of money.
"For things like lunch boxes, there is only one chance. How can there be so much money to earn?"
Lin Jiang shook his head. He believed only two out of ten words of Yue Qing. He saw this guy fooling people with his own eyes.
"Junior brother..."
"Senior brother, there is no need to say more. My main task now is not to make money, but to build a foundation. So in the next few years, I will not do anything. I will focus on cultivation."
Lin Jiang said. His public age is already 41 years old. Building a foundation is indeed a very important thing.
Moreover, Lin Jiang knew that he was in the limelight now. If he dared to be high-profile at this time, he would really be courting death. He must keep a low profile and lie dormant for at least four or five years.
Besides, Lin Jiang was not going to do speculative things often. Once was enough.
"Junior brother is right. Cultivation is the most important thing. Junior brother, practice well."
Yue Qing immediately changed his words. Seeing that Lin Jiang did not mean that, he did not say much. As for those brothers, let's fool them first. He has no money, and he can't tear him down.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Jiang sent Yue Qing away. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Shuhua.
"Big Brother, is there something?"
"Yue Qing, don't come here anymore."
"Junior Brother, I understand."
"That's good. I'll be at home these days. If you have any questions about cultivation, come and ask me."
"Okay, I'll also be in seclusion for a while recently."
Lin Jiang said that the inner disciples are very comfortable. They don't need to be forced to do tasks at all. Their biggest task is to practice. They just need to practice.
The entire Five Elements Sect is divided into several classes. The upper level is the ruling class, dominating everything in the sect, while the inner disciples are the reserve of the upper level, and they are also the beneficiaries, enjoying the support of the sect. The
outer disciples are semi-supporters. They do most of the miscellaneous work of the sect, but they will also get benefits and have the opportunity to advance.
Only those menial disciples were the worst off. They were like old oxen, eating grass and getting milk. Their chances of advancement were very slim. Among tens of thousands of menial disciples, only one or two could be promoted to the outer sect every year. In the past hundred years, very few menial disciples could be promoted to the foundation-building stage.
Lin Jiang was now a disciple of Zhang Wanjing. In the Five Elements Sect, he had crossed a class and became a real vested interest. He did not have to do any tasks during the Qi training period, and could get sixty spirit stones and twenty bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills every year. Moreover, Gathering Spirit Pills were not the junk from the outer sect.
The rest of the treatment was also doubled. For example, the canteen in the inner sect was not only free to eat, but also full of spiritual food, delicious and tasty, and full of spiritual energy.
Zhang Shuhua did not talk much. He said a few words and left. Zhang Wanjing's cave was not small, with dozens of houses, but only the three of them lived there at present. Lin Jiang could choose any vacant room.
"I still have to build the foundation as soon as possible and open up a cave for myself, so that I can give the big and small sand sculptures some fresh air. I can't treat my old brothers badly."
Lin Jiang sighed. The big and small sand sculptures have followed him for nearly two hundred years, so he has to take care of them. The spirit beast bag is too cramped.
