The Five Elements Sect, Inner Sect

The Five Elements Sect, like other large sects, is ruled by the Council of Elders. All elders are in the Nascent Soul stage, and there is no limit on the number of elders. Currently, the Five Elements Sect has fifteen Nascent Soul elders.

At the end of each year, the elders will hold a meeting to summarize the achievements of the year, but not all elders are required to attend, because the elders have various things to do, either sitting in a key place, or practicing in seclusion, or traveling around the world. For large sects, it is only required that there are at least three elders at the mountain gate at any time, so as to ensure the basic safety of the sect.

This year's Elders' Meeting has more people, with six people participating. Qin Quan, the head of the Five Elements Sect, looked at the people coming and thought it was not good. It seems that there will be another argument today.

"No one should be here, so let's start. Let's talk about this year's past."

Qin Quan glanced at the time and saw that no one had come. He asked someone to close the door and began to read out this year's past. In this year, what major events had happened in the Five Elements Sect, how many disciples left the sect or died, how many disciples entered the sect, how many foundation-building period broke through the golden elixir period, how many spirit stones were earned, and how many spirit stones were spent. There was a specific data.

These contents were sorted out by the Internal Affairs Hall. Qin Quan read them to everyone so that the elders could know the general situation of the Five Elements Sect.

Overall, the Five Elements Sect has not changed much for many years. The income situation is similar every year, and so are the expenses. Although there have been some changes in personnel, there have been some decreases and some increases, and the overall situation has remained the same for many years.

"I won't read the last sentence. You are all tired of hearing Zhang Wanjing's words."

Qin Quan said when he read the last sentence, because the last sentence of Zhang Wanjing's annual report on the past was the same, which meant that if the sect's strength did not improve, it would decline. In the long run, the Five Elements Sect would surely die. But after so many years, the Five Elements Sect did not die, did it?

"Master, I want to say something about Zhang Wanjing."

"Senior Brother Guo, what do you say?"

"I want to sue him for being disrespectful to his elders. According to the sect rules, he should reflect on his mistakes in seclusion instead of continuing to serve as the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall." "

Senior Brother Guo said it well. I think Zhang Wanjing has gone too far. He should be removed from his position as deputy head. How about this, let your eldest disciple take the position. My requirements are not high. As long as he can achieve the same level as Zhang Wanjing, I will remove Zhang Wanjing and punish him to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion for a hundred years. How about that?"

Qin Quan glanced at Guo Yunfeng and said. Guo Yunfeng was getting more and more confused as he got older. His calculations could be heard by people eight hundred miles away, and he still had the nerve to come and complain.

"Ahem, this, Master, the sect is full of talents, it's okay to change someone else."

"The sect is indeed full of talents, then who do you think can take on this important task, Brother Guo, how about you give some of your remaining energy to the sect?"

Qin Quan once again fought back. Is Zhang Wanjing the most capable person in the Five Elements Sect? No, there are still people who are stronger than him, but Zhang Wanjing is the one who is most dedicated to the public and the one who dares to refute the elders the most. If someone else is replaced, he will have the ability, but no matter how much money he makes for the sect, can he withstand the tossing of these elders? In a few years, the entire sect will be emptied.

"Master, I'm still thinking about breaking through to the God Transformation Realm, I don't have time.

" "What about the other brothers?

" "No time.

" "I don't have time either."

Several elders answered very straightforwardly. They are capable enough to be deputy hall masters, but they are unwilling to spend time. The Nascent Soul can live for a thousand years, but is a thousand years a long time? They are still thinking about making further progress, so how can they spend time on this matter.

"Since no one has time, let's forget about this matter."

"Master, do you want to save face for the elders?"

"I will order a reprimand for Zhang Wanjing."

"Brother, is it..."

"Brother Guo, let's leave it at that. Next item."

Qin Quan immediately interrupted Guo Yunfeng and forced the next topic. Guo Yunfeng had to shut up. Even though he didn't understand the situation, he knew that Qin Quan would not do anything to Zhang Wanjing.

The meeting ended and everyone dispersed, but the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Nie Wuyuan, stopped Qin Quan and had something to say to him.

"Brother Nie, if you have anything else to say, just say it directly."

"Master, I actually want to talk about Zhang Wanjing."

"It seems that Zhang Wanjing has not offended Brother Nie."

"No, in fact, I have admired Zhang Wanjing more and more in recent years. Master, haven't you seen that my Law Enforcement Hall has been more and more supportive of Zhang Wanjing in recent years?"

"What exactly does Brother Nie want to say?"

"What I want to say is that some of Zhang Wanjing's words are very right. The Five Elements Sect is indeed in crisis."

"Is the Five Elements Sect in crisis?"

Qin Quan smiled dumbly. There are more than a dozen Yuanying, dozens or hundreds of Jindan, plus an unknown number of unknown and unknown Shenhua. How can the Five Elements Sect be in crisis ?

"Master, how old is he this year?"

"Over seven hundred, how about?"

"I am eight hundred and three years old this year, Brother Guo is nine hundred, and the youngest should be Brother Ye, who is more than six hundred this year. Master, don't you find the problem?"

"You mean..."

Qin Quan's face became serious. Thinking about it this way, it seems to be right. The Yuanying of the Five Elements Sect is a bit big.

“My Five Elements Sect hasn’t produced a new Nascent Soul for many years, and the Nascent Soul seeds cultivated by the sect are not very good. Not to mention our style back then, even other disciples are not convinced now. Senior brothers from the Zhongxing Sect and Yunjian Sect know that the Nascent Soul seeds of this generation are very powerful.

Although the two sects are far away from our Five Elements Sect and there is no worry of hostility, our Five Elements Sect is also experiencing a lack of successors, which is worthy of our vigilance.”

“Brother Nie, continue.”

“That’s enough. As the leader of a sect, you should plan as soon as possible now that you know about this.”

Nie Wuyuan shook his head. It would be meaningless to say too much. It would be enough for the leader to know. The next step is his business.

Qin Quan looked at Nie Wuyuan’s departing back with a frown. This matter seemed to be quite serious. There were some problems within the Five Elements Sect. It was difficult to see below the Nascent Soul stage, because below the Nascent Soul stage, as long as the qualifications were acceptable, resources could be used to push them out.

But the Nascent Soul stage was different. It had extremely high requirements for the cultivator as a whole, especially the character. Without an indomitable spirit, it would be extremely difficult to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

At the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua sat in the cave of another deputy hall master of the Internal Affairs Hall, waiting for the feast. Today was the day for the son of this deputy hall master to marry a wife. He sent an invitation to Zhang Wanjing, but Zhang Wanjing refused to come on the grounds that he had no time, and asked Lin Jiang and Zhang Shuhua to come.

"Deputy Hall Master Jin is too much. I came here on behalf of my father, but he actually arranged me at the foundation-building table,"

Zhang Shuhua said angrily. He felt discriminated against. He came here on behalf of his father, and he should have been arranged at the Jindan table, but he was arranged at the foundation-building table, which was downgraded for no reason.

"Come on, you can't eat many dishes at the Jindan table. You'll be stuffed to death here."

Lin Jiang rolled his eyes. What's the benefit of going to the Jindan table? The banquets in the Xiuxian world are divided according to the cultivation level, because the food levels are also different. It's not that the host is stingy, but the spiritual food is full of spiritual energy. What the Jindan can eat, they may not be able to eat. If you meet someone who doesn't restrain his diet and is greedy, it will be bad if he explodes and dies.

"What do you know? This is face. Even if I only eat one bite, I'm still there."

"Hey, hey, don't worry so much, just eat."

Lin Jiang didn't understand why Zhang Shuhua cared about this. Now he knew why Zhang Wanjing didn't come. If he came, he would ruin the party.

Zhang Shuhua still couldn't let it go, and Lin Jiang didn't care about him. When the wine and food came, he kept eating. Who asked Zhang Wanjing to be so unkind? He asked them to come perfunctorily, but didn't give the money for the gift. It was still Lin Jiang who paid for it himself, so he had to eat it back.

"Hey, hey, Senior Brother, did you hear what they said?"

Lin Jiang stopped eating halfway through. His stomach couldn't hold any more and his spiritual energy was so much that it was about to explode. While quietly refining his spiritual energy, he said to Zhang Shuhua, because he heard that the people around him were talking about something very interesting.

"I heard that this time, the family who helped with the wedding of Deputy Hall Master Jin's son were all the servants they raised, and they didn't go to the sect to find help." "

It seems that you knew about this a long time ago."

"Do you know why my father didn't come? Because he couldn't stand it and would definitely ruin the party,"

Zhang Shuhua said. Many of the high-level people in the Five Elements Sect have fallen and got a lot of resources from the sect, but they didn't use them to improve their cultivation, but to enjoy them, with gorgeous clothes, delicious food, servants, wives and concubines, and the ultimate luxury in the world.

"Yeah, I can't stand it anymore. My house is too shabby compared to this one."

Lin Jiang looked at Deputy Hall Master Jin's cave. It was so beautiful. Even the pillars of his house were made of precious third-level spiritual wood. Compared with this one, his cave was like the difference between a large tiled house in the countryside and the Forbidden City.

Lin Jiang couldn't stand it anymore. How come this cave wasn't his?

"If you go to the cave of an elder, you will think that Deputy Hall Master Jin's cave is also shabby."

"Is it so exaggerated? ”

“It’s not an exaggeration at all.”

“Hey, there are so many beautiful fairies, aren’t they disciples of the Five Elements Sect?”

Lin Jiang stared at the group of beautiful girls in front of him and cursed Deputy Hall Master Jin again. Why did he treat the guests differently when entertaining them? Why were the dishes on his table served by male cultivators, while the two tables of golden elixirs were served by fairies? Even if they couldn’t eat them, they could at least look at them.

“They are menial disciples. Many high-ranking officials have bought a lot of maids themselves and arranged them in the cave residences as menial disciples. If you make friends with him and stay overnight, he will let the maids sleep with you.”

“What, really? Can I?”

Lin Jiang was immediately excited. There really is such a bad habit in the world of cultivating immortals. He should have said it earlier.

“You are only in the foundation-building stage, so you are not qualified.”

“Very good, I have found the motivation to practice hard.”

Lin Jiang clenched his fists. These words were more powerful than a shot of chicken blood. He had to practice hard, form the elixir as soon as possible, and then try to stay overnight in all the golden elixir cave residences in the sect.

"Can you be more ambitious?"

This time Zhang Shuhua really couldn't stand it anymore, not to Deputy Hall Master Jin, but to Lin Jiang. Didn't he see that everyone around him was laughing at him?

"You know nothing?"

Lin Jiang rolled his eyes. Others dared to do this, so what was wrong with him saying it? It's not illegal to talk nonsense. As long as others did it, he couldn't say it?
