In the main hall of the Five Elements Sect
, nine elders gathered and nine Nascent Souls appeared together. This was a rare situation, unless something big happened.
However, Zhang Wanjing was still dissatisfied. The Five Elements Sect had fifteen Nascent Soul elders, and six people received the news but still did not show up.
"Wanjing, everyone is here, can we start?"
"Yes, Master, these are some strategies that Wanjing has thought of to revitalize the sect these days. Elders, please take a look,"
Zhang Wanjing replied, and then nine jade slips flew in front of the nine people, and everyone opened the jade slips to check.
"There are six rules to enrich and strengthen the sect. The first one: Reopen the Ascension Conference and send disciples to travel around to test the spiritual roots of children in mortal villages and towns. Those who are outstanding will be brought into the sect and trained..." "
The second one: Cut redundant staff. There are many staff in the sect's halls, cities, and businesses, and they are inefficient. Most of them should be cut and re-evaluated. Those who are incapable should be fired..."
"The third one: Unify power and responsibility, and do their job well. The heads, stewards, and deacons of each hall should..."
"The fourth one: Resource review. All foundation-building elixirs and core-forming elixirs must..."
"The fifth one..."
"The sixth one..."
Everyone looked at the six rules of the sect, and their faces were quite interesting. None of them were directed at them, but each one was talking about them.
"Everyone, have you read it? Do you have anything to say?"
said the head of the sect, Qin Quan, looking at the other eight people. He was very satisfied. Zhang Wanjing was indeed a talented person. In a short period of time, he came up with six reform measures for the current situation of the sect.
"I don't agree"
"I don't agree"
"I don't agree"
"Me too"
However, the other elders answered in unison, which froze the faces of the head of the sect and Zhang Wanjing.
"Elders, if there is anything you disagree with, Wan Jing can change it."
"I disagree with everything. These six rules are bullshit."
"Guo Yunfeng, what do you mean?"
"I mean it literally. This elder thinks that the sect rules you wrote are bullshit. I will not pass them. How about that?"
"Guo Yunfeng, you old thief Guo, you have four disciples, eight heirs, and 135 clansmen, who are placed in various halls of the sect. They are all people who are in office but do nothing. They are incompetent fools and waste countless resources of the sect. You..."
"How dare you! Who gave you the power to insult the sect elders in person?"
Zhang Wanjing did not tolerate Guo Yunfeng, and Guo Yunfeng was also furious after hearing Zhang Wanjing's curse. He raised his hand and was about to hit Zhang Wanjing, but the people around him quickly held him back.
"Brother Guo, don't seek death. Zhang Wanjing has the ancestor's name symbol on him. If you strike him with this palm, it will activate the natal symbol. All of us will die."
Nie Wuyuan sent a message to Guo Yunfeng, and Guo Yunfeng stopped his hand. He was sweating all over. If the natal symbol of the ancestor Huashen was activated, it would be equivalent to the ancestor Huashen attacking them with all his strength, which would be unstoppable.
But then, he was extremely jealous. The ancestor Huashen loved this boy so much that he was willing to give him the natal symbol, but not to the elders who worked hard for the sect. It was too unfair.
"Shut up, according to the sect rules, when the elders are undecided, they will make the sect's decision by raising their hands. Those who agree with the sect rules written by Zhang Wanjing, raise your hands."
The head of the sect, Qin Quan, stood up and said. After he finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand, and Nie Wuyuan also raised his hand, but the other seven people were indifferent.
"Haha, Zhang Wanjing, you see, it's not the time for you to have the final say in the Five Elements Sect. Out of the nine elders, seven do not support you. If you have the ability, you can convince the other six, or you can bring out the ancestor of Huashen. Otherwise, let me see what you can do."
"Old thief Guo, if the Five Elements Sect declines and perishes, you will take half the responsibility." "You
are exaggerating and talking nonsense. The Five Elements Sect has fifteen Nascent Souls and dozens of Golden Cores. Every year, dozens of Qi training people break through to the foundation building stage. There are so many talented people in the Sect. How can it decline and perish? This is just nonsense you made up in order to monopolize the power of the sect."
"Old thief Guo, I'm going to fight you."
Zhang Wanjing was so angry that he vomited blood. He wanted to fight Guo Yunfeng to the death, but was suppressed by Qin Quan.
"Wan Jing, don't be presumptuous. According to the sect's rules, any major matter must be decided by the elders. If it is not passed this time, you can still lobby other elders. As long as the majority of elders agree, I will authorize you as the head of the sect,"
Qin Quan said. He didn't know how Zhang Wanjing talked to the other elders, but it was a practical problem that most of the elders disagreed today. Even if he was the head of the sect, he couldn't make a decision arbitrarily.
"Uncle head..."
"That's it for today, everyone go their separate ways."
Qin Quan waved his hand, and many elders immediately dispersed. Only Qin Quan and Zhang Wanjing were left in the sect's main hall.
"Uncle, these are all strategies to strengthen the sect. Why don't you agree? Don't you all want the Five Elements Sect anymore?"
"Wan Jing, those who can sit on the position of elder are not fools. According to the six sect rules you mentioned, if they are implemented, more than half of their disciples, relatives and descendants must be cleared out first, which will hurt their interests. How can they agree? Will you let your family give up their interests?"
"Of course they will"
"Ahem, Wan Jing, not everyone is like you. There are not so many selfless people in the world."
Qin Quan was a little speechless. You only have one son, and he has grown up, but they have a big family to support. Who doesn't have three or five concubines and a lot of children? Can it be the same?
"Master, you agreed before"
"I agree, but I can't decide alone. This is the rule of the sect. The master is just one of the elders. If you really want to promote it, either convince the other elders or ask the ancestor to come out and take charge. There is no other way."
Qin Quan said. The resolution of the elders' meeting is also for the sect to be dictated by one person. The advantages and disadvantages of one person's dictatorship are very obvious. If you meet a heroic leader, it will naturally prosper, but if you meet a foolish person, it will be the sadness of the sect.

Outside the main hall of the sect, Lin Jiang hurried over and saw Zhang Shuhua waiting at the door.
"Where's the master?"
"Inside, in the main hall."
"What's wrong with the master? Didn't he say that we would take action after he formed his infant? Why are you so anxious?"
"My father is worried about the sect and can't wait to implement the plan."
"Acting too hastily is a taboo in change. I can guarantee that the master's proposal today will definitely be rejected, and it has already alerted the enemy. In the future, he will inevitably be ostracized and targeted,"
said Lin Jiang. He read the so-called six rules of the sect by Zhang Wanjing. They were indeed very well written, but there was no basis for implementation at all. Those vested interests are not fools and will not let you cut off their interests.
"My father has always been ostracized and suppressed."
"This time is different. This time they will be serious. If they are kinder, they will let the master go to the unpopular department. If they are crueler, they will send him to a dying mission."
"They dare not send my dad to die."
"What do you mean?"
"My dad has a backer. The ancestor Huashen in the sect has a good relationship with my dad. My father's master's master was the ancestor Huashen's junior brother, a direct junior brother."
"Why don't you move out when you have the God Transformation Patriarch as your backer?"
Lin Jiang was even more confused. If you don't rely on your backer, you're out of your mind.
"The God Transformation Patriarch is not in the sect."
"Then where did he go?"
"I don't know, no one knows, they are all like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail."
Zhang Shuhua shook his head. Foundation Building and God Transformation are like people from two different worlds. He has no idea what God Transformation looks like. "
The elders are coming out."
While the two were talking, a group of elders came out. Guo Yunfeng saw the two and snorted coldly, while the others chose to ignore them.
"Where's the master?"
"I don't know, wait, the headmaster hasn't come out, maybe he's discussing with the headmaster,"
Zhang Shuhua replied. They are only foundation building, and have no power, so they can only wait.
After a long time, Zhang Wanjing walked out of the hall, his face full of loneliness. He worked non-stop for seven days and nights to write a strategy for revitalizing the sect, but others discarded it like a worn-out shoe, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Dad"
"Master, what's wrong?"
"The elders didn't approve it"
"It should be so"
"Junior brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean it should be so?"
"The elders didn't approve it, which means they haven't taken ruthless action against the master. If it really passed, that would be terrible. That's called flattery."
Lin Jiang said coldly. Those sect rules offended not only a few elders, but also a large number of middle and high-level people. It almost cut off all their financial resources. By then, it would not be the elders who would hate Zhang Wanjing, but all the vested interests of the sect. That would be the time of real destruction.
"Go back."
Zhang Wanjing shook his head and said nothing more. The three returned to Zhang Wanjing's cave.
"Dad, you must not give up on yourself. At worst, you can ask the ancestor to come back. He will agree."
"I know, I won't give up on myself. I, Zhang Wanjing, have experienced countless hardships in my life. This is nothing."
"That's good, that's good."
"Master, if you don't give up, just listen to your disciples. Change is not something that can be done overnight, and the Five Elements Sect will not decline and perish tomorrow. Just take it slowly. You must break through the Nascent Soul first, so that your words will have weight, not only to the superiors, but also to the subordinates. Only then will the disciples below dare to believe you. We will take it step by step, unite and support more disciples, and then the people will follow their wishes and force the superiors.
Although the sect is guarded by these Nascent Souls, if there are no grassroots disciples to collect resources for them, how can they practice and live that luxurious life?"
Lin Jiang once again advised that the biggest task of the sect's Nascent Soul is to protect the sect with force, and there is no need to do anything else. The biggest resource output of the sect is actually to support the Nascent Soul.
This is understandable. The crux of the problem is actually the relatives of the Nascent Soul. They take too much. In this case, it is better to overthrow the superiors.
In fact, according to Lin Jiang's idea, he would rather let it go and not care about it. Whoever wants to care about this broken sect can care about it. He will wait until it is completely rotten, and then he will clean up the mess. This is starting a new business.
