Five Elements Sect Outer Sect, Jackdaw
Mountain Lin Jiang saw Zhang Wanjing coming back in a daze and knew that Zhang Wanjing had failed. Fortunately, he had already dispersed everyone before, leaving only a few representatives.
"Master, how is the situation?"
"I'm tired and want to rest."
Zhang Wanjing shook his head. He was in pain now. The head of the sect said a word, erasing his years of hard work. What he had done in the outer sect in these years was like a joke.
"It seems that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and it is not caused by corruption in the Internal Affairs Hall. Master, it must be an order from the sect's top leaders as a whole."
"How do you know?"
"If someone in the Internal Affairs Hall was corrupt, there would be no need to increase the task volume so much at once. They have many ways to balance the account books. One mu of land can add ten kilograms of tasks. Adding two hundred kilograms of tasks at a time, do you think the sect is stupid?"
Lin Jiang said. This is not difficult to guess. If it is caused by corruption, it doesn't make sense logically.
"You are right, head of the sect tell me..."
Zhang Wanjing repeated what the head of the sect Qin Quan said. Zhang Shuhua, who was standing aside, became angry after hearing it.
"How can the Sect Master say that? Are outer disciples destined to only be in the Qi Training Stage? Will they be inferior to others for the rest of their lives?"
"Master, you should not have convinced the Sect Master, but you were convinced by him."
Lin Jiang was very calm at this time, because this theory was not the first time he had heard it, it was simply bullshit.
"What the Sect Master said seems to make sense."
Zhang Wanjing nodded, this was the most painful part for him, he could not refute the Sect Master, he knew that without a substantial increase in the overall resources of the Five Elements Sect, it would be impossible to allow more Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to form Dan and Infant, and the Five Elements Sect needed more masters, masters who were more powerful than the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples, the reality and his ideals had a huge conflict.
"Master, let me tell you, the sect master's theory is bullshit, do you believe it?"
"You..."
"Don't be impatient, listen to my analysis. What the sect master means is that the sect's resources are generally constant. If this group of disciples with a low upper limit break through to the foundation building stage, then it will dilute the resources of the inner sect's talented disciples and drag down the entire sect, right?"
"Yes"
"This seems to make sense, but it's still bullshit, because the reasoning behind this statement is based on the fact that outer sect disciples are true mediocre people, while inner sect disciples are true geniuses. But are inner sect disciples true geniuses? I don't deny that a small number of people are true geniuses, but are all inner sect disciples geniuses? Who can be sure?
Besides, are outer sect disciples necessarily mediocre? My senior brother is also from the outer sect. Aren't there any Jindan masters in the sect who are from the outer sect? What about the Yuanying elder?"
Lin Jiang said. Are there geniuses among inner sect disciples? Yes, but definitely not all inner sect disciples are geniuses. The definition of genius is not only a matter of spiritual roots, but also of comprehension, physique, and opportunity.
"This..."
"There is another point, that is fairness. No one can define a person's life. The sect defines all outer disciples as mediocre, which is unfair. Whether they are mediocre or not can only be verified by time, rather than the sect rudely cutting off their hopes,"
said Lin Jiang. He was also an outer disciple, and he felt the same way at this moment. He did not believe that he was worse than others, even though he was cheating.
"Xiao Yi, what you said makes sense. I was deceived."
"It's not that I was deceived. It's that the sect leaders look down on outer disciples in their hearts. That's what they think, so they think what the master said is right."
"Then what should I do?"
"I will argue with reason. I think the sect can still make a turnaround. The amount of tasks will definitely increase, but not that much.
" "Then what's the difference?"
"Yes, the difference lies with Master."
"Me?"
"Yes, this incident should serve as a wake-up call for Master. The Five Elements Sect's leaders are unreliable. If Master still insists on his ideals, then give up his fantasies and prepare to fight.
If Master is not going to stick to his ideals, then he can choose to be bad and stop helping any outer disciples. Give them the opportunity to make more money, but it will be earned by the sect leaders. Of course, Master can also join them.
It's not shameful to join if you can't beat them. With Master's ability, if you join them, they won't treat Master badly, and the three of us can all live well."
Lin Jiang said that the ruling method of the Five Elements Sect was destined to sacrifice most people. No matter how they struggled, it was useless. They could deprive most people of their wealth with a single order.
Lin Jiang hoped that Zhang Wanjing would join them, because in this way, he would be the real vested interest. They could also stand at a high position and ruthlessly exploit the lower-level disciples. They worked hard and more than half of the money they earned would go into his pocket. Isn't that good?
"Let me think about it."
Zhang Wanjing was shocked. On this day, his thoughts were shocked several times, and his mind was already in a mess.
······
"Junior brother, are you serious about the last sentence?"
Zhang Shuhua said to Lin Jiang after coming out of the Jackdaw Mountain.
"Seriously, human nature is selfish, and it is instinctive to seek benefits and avoid harm. If I were a master, I would not be so selfless."
"Then why have you been working so hard in the past few years? "
"Being lucky, what else can I do?"
Lin Jiang said. If he hadn't seen Zhang Wanjing and been moved by his personality charm, would he do these stupid things?
"But I hope my father can help those people. Immortal cultivation is against the will of heaven. We are not afraid of the way of heaven, let alone the powerful."
"It's ridiculous for you to say this, really."
"Junior brother, you..."
"Go back and practice well. Everything in the world of immortal cultivation is empty. Only strength is eternal. Remember what I told you? If you are the ancestor of the God of Transformation, you are the way of heaven of the Five Elements Sect. Who dares not to listen to your words?"
Lin Jiang left directly after leaving a word. Let's practice. Strength is more important than anything else.
Three days later, the sect re-issued new regulations. The task of farming disciples per mu was increased from 300 jin per mu to 400 jin, which was a little less than the 500 jin mentioned a few days ago. When
the news came out, some people still protested, but it was ineffective, and some people accepted it silently. The reactions were mixed. Zhang Wanjing, on the other hand, was not as energetic as before and was still hit.
Lin Jiang didn't care about that. He was just a little disciple in the foundation-building stage. How could he manage the affairs of the sect? He was lucky to do well in his own little piece of land.
It was not until a month later that Zhang Wanjing, who hadn't seen Lin Jiang for a long time, found Lin Jiang and said, "Xiao Yi, your master recalled what you said and found that many of your words were wise sayings. Your master was wrong before."
"Master, just listen to your words, don't take them seriously."
"No, I'm serious. You are right. Give up your fantasies and prepare for the battle. Your master has not admitted defeat and can continue to fight."
"Master, have you thought it through?"
"Well, in two years, the sect will have a baby-forming treasure. I will prepare to fight for it."
"How confident are you?"
Lin Jiang immediately became interested. A baby-forming treasure. Master, you should form a baby quickly. This thigh is not big enough.
"If the God-Transforming Ancestor doesn't come back, my chances of getting the treasure are zero, it's impossible to get it, but I will still fight for it, I want to let the higher-ups know that Zhang Wanjing hasn't given up
yet." "What if I lose?"
"I will ask to go to the wilderness to guard it, either die in the wilderness, or seize resources and achieve the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, are you willing to follow me?"
"Disciple is willing to follow Master,"
Lin Jiang said. Lin Jiang didn't have much savings, and he also wanted to go to the wilderness to make money, not necessarily to hunt monsters, he had to see if there were other opportunities.
Besides, he had heard a lot about the wilderness in Yunzhong City, and he really wanted to go to the wilderness to take a look, he hadn't been to many places yet.
"Okay, you should prepare well in the next two years. You need to prepare more flying swords, shields, robes, talismans, and elixirs. In addition, the Five Elements Sect is known for its magic, so you should also learn more magic.
" "Yes, Master, will brother go?"
"I haven't asked him yet, he should go,"
said Zhang Wanjing. His son's fighting skills are very high. If he goes to the wilderness, he will be like a fish in water. He will definitely go.
"That's fine. The three of us will bravely venture into the wilderness and create a future."
"Okay."
"Then I will go back first."
Lin Jiang nodded. He had to prepare now. The wilderness is not a joke. He is going there to make money, not to die.
