In the Five Elements Sect, Lin Jiang was sitting cross-legged on a cushion in     the Transmission Hall . Opposite Lin Jiang was a middle-aged man, who was the deputy head of the Transmission Hall. In each hall of the Five Elements Sect, the Yuanying elders served as the main heads, but they were basically only responsible for the overall situation, and the real work was done by the deputy heads.

"Disciple Xiao Yi, are you sure you want to practice the Five Spirits Sutra?"

"Reporting to Uncle Master, I have decided."

"Okay, then do you know the rules of practicing the Five Spirits Sutra?"

"Yes,"

Lin Jiang said. The Five Spirits Sutra is one of the Five Elements Sect's mountain-guarding techniques, and it is the Five Elements Sect's top secret. After practicing, no written or spiritual records are allowed to be left, and it is not allowed to be passed on to others. Once discovered, the Five Elements Sect will impose the most cruel punishment, which is basically the kind that involves family members.

Moreover, the Five Elements Sect will also take various preventive measures, one of which is to place a special restriction in the mind of the practitioner. Once something happens outside, such as being captured, if someone forcibly searches the soul, the restriction will be activated, and the practitioner's soul will be crushed, the secret will be kept, and of course the person will die.

"Since you know, there is no need for me to say more, take the Heart Demon Oath"

"Yes, Uncle Master"

Lin Jiang honestly took the Heart Demon Oath. If he leaked the secret, he would suffer the backlash of the Heart Demon, lose his Taoism, and die a miserable death.

"Okay, then I will cast a spell. This memory will stay in your sea of ​​consciousness for a month, and will automatically dissipate after a month."

The deputy hall master nodded, then walked behind Lin Jiang and began to cast a spell. The Zhenshan Gongfa is not stored in text, but in jade slips and the like, and is passed down by word of mouth.

But this word of mouth is not literally passed down, but is passed down in the form of initiation.

"With your cultivation and merit points, I can only teach you the skills of the early stage of the Golden Core. The subsequent skills will be taught after you have formed the Golden Core."

"Uncle Master, I dare to ask, how can I get all the skills?"

"Wait until you advance to the Nascent Soul stage. The Five Spirits Sutra can be cultivated to the level of the Spiritualization Stage or above. It is said that it can directly reach the Ascension Stage, but I have not been able to get all the skills. When your cultivation reaches that level, someone will naturally teach you."

"Thank you, Uncle Master."

Lin Jiang thanked him. He was also convinced. He was so strict and wanted to get the skills and run away. This time it was really not possible. Unless he could get all the skills of the Five Spirits Sutra, there would be no point in re-cultivating and becoming a disciple.

········

"Xiao Yi, have you thought about what to do with me?"

After getting the skills, Lin Jiang found Zhang Wanjing again, and Zhang Wanjing said.

"Master, I am not very knowledgeable and I am not suitable to go anywhere. It is best for me to follow you, listen more, watch more and learn more. I will talk about it after I learn some skills."

Lin Jiang said. He has thought it through. The interests of the various halls of the Five Elements Sect must be clearly divided. If he goes there, he will just be a soldier. Not only will he be exhausted, but he will also have no money.

It is better to follow Zhang Wanjing, even if it is just a small follower. This way, he will not offend anyone, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money. How does speculation come from information asymmetry? The premise of information asymmetry is information. Isn't Zhang Wanjing the best source of information?

Get the news from Zhang Wanjing first, and then cooperate with Yue Qing and others. Let them do the specific work, and Lin Jiang will get the benefits from it.

"Follow me?"

"Master, do you think that I can deal with the demons and monsters in the sect with my little ability? Aren't you afraid that your disciples will be devoured by them?"

"That's true. Okay, just follow me."

Zhang Wanjing nodded. It doesn't matter if he takes one or two. He originally wanted to take Zhang Shuhua with him. He also had to take care of his son. Zhang Shuhua showed his strength in the outer sect. Now no one would say anything if he took Zhang Shuhua with him.

"Thank you, Master."

"But you have to think about it. Following me will be very busy. You will have to be on duty in the sect during the day and can only practice at night. You have five spiritual roots and practice slower than others. I'm afraid it will drag down your cultivation."

"Disciple is not afraid. If there is not enough time, spiritual pills will make up for it. Master, just give me more spiritual pills."

Lin Jiang replied. In the foundation-building period, you don't need to sleep much. Half an hour a day is enough. You can practice at night. That means you have three or four hours of practice every day. It's enough. At most, you can take more spiritual pills.

"Okay, from now on, you and Shuhua will come to the Internal Affairs Hall every day to guard. I am now the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall. You know where it is, right?"

"I know."

"Okay, I'll give you a day off today, come back tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master,"

Lin Jiang said hurriedly. After chatting for a few words, Lin Jiang left.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiang followed Zhang Shuhua to the Internal Affairs Hall. The Internal Affairs Hall was the largest hall of the Five Elements Sect, with a large number of staff, so the office space was also very large, a complex of buildings, dozens of offices, all of which belonged to the Internal Affairs Hall.

"The Internal Affairs Hall is in charge of all the sect's affairs, except for the transmission of skills, law enforcement, and the two halls. These courtyards are used to divide various affairs."

"What about the External Affairs Hall

?" "The External Affairs Hall is equal to the Internal Affairs Hall in dealing with external affairs, and it does not belong to the sect's internal affairs."

"The Outer Sect is also divided into Internal Affairs and External Affairs, so are we in charge of the Outer Sect's Internal Affairs Hall as well?"

"Yes, the Outer Sect's Internal Affairs Hall is considered a branch of the Sect's Internal Affairs Hall."

"I see. So what does the Outer Sect do on a daily basis, brother?"

"Run errands,"

said Zhang Shuhua. They are newcomers to the Internal Affairs Hall and don't understand the business. What else can they do except running errands.

"Today is your first day on duty, so follow me and get to know the people first."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

"This is the Treasury District, which manages all the expenses of the sect. The disciples' salaries and rewards are all handled by them, including the material supply of the Dan Hall and the Fu Hall. This is..."

Zhang Shuhua took Lin Jiang to get to know the sect. The huge Internal Affairs Hall was divided into more than a dozen departments. There were several offices in the Treasury District alone. There were really too many places to be responsible for.

However, Lin Jiang looked through it and still felt that the responsibilities of each department in the Internal Affairs Hall were a bit confusing. Logically speaking, a sect with more than 100,000 people is no different from a super-large company. There should be more than these departments. But

Lin Jiang would definitely not say anything now. He dared to make all kinds of discussions and write suggestions on his first day. He didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. That would be a stupid thing for a newcomer in the workplace, but Lin Jiang was not a newcomer in the workplace.

After a round, Lin Jiang returned to the deputy hall master's duty station, which was the office. There were three deputy hall masters in the Internal Affairs Hall, which could be regarded as checks and balances.

However, Lin Jiang had not seen the other two deputy hall masters for a whole day. Zhang Shuhua told Lin Jiang that he had been here for a year and had only seen the other two deputy hall masters three times. They were completely hands-off managers, leaving everything to their subordinates to do, and looking for Zhang Wanjing when they were unsure.

There was no strict limit on the tasks that each deputy hall master was in charge of, which meant that Zhang Wanjing could also handle the business of the two. In fact, Zhang Wanjing alone took on all the affairs of the Internal Affairs Hall.

"He is really a good person,"

Lin Jiang exclaimed after knowing it. It was really nice to be a colleague with Zhang Wanjing. He did all the work and got his own salary.

"I think your words sounded like scolding someone,"

Zhang Shuhua said with a dark face. It was obviously a compliment, but why did it sound weird.

The first day of work in the Five Elements Sect passed uneventfully.

Then came the second day, the third day, the fifth day, and the first month.

In the first three months, Zhang Wanjing did not arrange anything for Lin Jiang to do. He just ran errands like Zhang Shuhua, but Lin Jiang saw how busy Zhang Wanjing was.

Jindan-stage cultivators do not need sleep, but most of them still maintain some sleeping habits. Even if they cannot sleep, they will lie down for a while. This comes from habit.

But Lin Jiang has never seen him sleep, and he rarely rests. His rest is to meditate and practice, and then deal with things after

that. "Even the donkeys in the production team dare not do this. It is rare that the Five Elements Sect, which is so big, can't operate without Zhang Wanjing?"

Lin Jiang felt sorry for Zhang Wanjing. This is a person who has completely devoted himself to the sect and is a person who has gotten rid of vulgar interests.

"Don't think about persuading my father. Even I, his own son, can't persuade him. Once he does something, he is like this."

Lin Jiang wanted to persuade Zhang Wanjing, but Zhang Shuhua stopped him. It's not like he hasn't persuaded him before, but he can't persuade him at all.

"Then you just watch your father being bullied like this?"

"What can I do? I'm only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I can't beat him, and he won't listen to scolding. My father likes to be bullied. What can I do?"

Zhang Shuhua was desperate. He knew that his father was bullied. He was the one who did it, but he didn't get much benefit. But he couldn't do anything.

"I'll teach you a way."

"Junior brother, what good idea do you have?"

"Raise your cultivation to the Spiritualization Stage, and then fire all the elders in the sect."

"Ahem, junior brother really likes to joke."

"This is definitely a good idea. Think about it. If you can make the decision for the entire sect, fire all those who have connections, eat empty salaries, embezzle, and are lazy, and replace them with people who are willing to work, wouldn't your father be relieved?"

"This..."

Zhang Shuhua's heart was moved for a moment, as if this was the truth. If he was the Spiritualization ancestor of the sect, he would have the final say. Wouldn't his father not have to suffer so much?
