Chapter 171 From Top to Bottom



At the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, the

main hall's formation was activated today, and the firefly-like light enveloped the entire hall. Outsiders could not even see it, let alone detect it with their spiritual sense.

In the hall, all seventeen stools were occupied. The one in the middle was the incarnation of the ancestor Shi Yuntang, who had not appeared for hundreds of years. The other stools were occupied by some elders in person, and some were just phantoms, with spirits present.

"Uncle, everyone is here,"

said the head of the sect, Qin Quan, to Shi Yuntang. All sixteen elders were here.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start. I haven't been back to the Five Elements Sect for hundreds of years, so I don't know the sect's latest situation. It was Wan Jing who found me and told me about the sect's situation. It's worrying.

Guo Yunfeng, tell me, you are also an old man, what have you done in these years? As an elder of the sect, you don't have the mind and spirit of an elder.

Chen Xuanhua, you are the same. I asked you to guard the wilderness, but you just think about going out hunting monsters every day. Have you ever killed a fourth-level monster?

And you, Shen Qun, you are the same..."

Shi Yuntang spoke and criticized fifteen of the sixteen elders, even the head of the sect, Qin Quan. Everyone lowered their heads, nodded in agreement, and did not dare to refute.

"The Five Elements Sect has been messed up by you. If no changes are made, it will be defeated by you sooner or later. That's why I came back this time to reorganize the Five Elements Sect. Where is Zhang Wanjing?" "

Uncle Master, I'm here."

"Wanjing, what you said to me a few days ago makes sense to me. You can tell them now."

"Yes, Uncle Master."

Zhang Wanjing nodded. As he turned to face the crowd, many people felt uneasy. They didn't understand why their uncle would trust Zhang Wanjing so much instead of them. They all had one head on two shoulders.

"I have been away from the sect for more than 20 years. During this time, in addition to breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, I have also carefully thought about the reasons for the sect's current difficulties. Of course, you brothers don't feel that the sect is in trouble. In your eyes, the sect is prosperous and peaceful, and everything is so beautiful, so beautiful that some people can buy a mattress with 300,000 spirit stones, so beautiful that some people can have hundreds of singing girls and be bridegrooms every night, so beautiful that the palace banquet in Medicine City is full day and night, and you can listen to music in the brothel when you have nothing to do.

But I don't think it's that good. What I see is that the bottom disciples are still running for a few spirit stones, and what I see is that the disciples who are obviously talented and can advance to the realm are wasting their lives because of insufficient resources. They can only watch their lifespans run out. What I see is the hard-working disciples who run around day and night, but the credit is taken by others.

And the root of all this lies in you, you elders, you are the ones who take the lead in doing wrong things, and you are the ones who violate the sect rules..."

"Zhang Wanjing, you are arrogant"

"Zhang Wanjing, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"Zhang Wanjing, the support of the ancestors doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

Zhang Wanjing fired at all the elders, making everyone furious. Even if Shi Yuntang was there, they immediately refuted. They would never bear this crime.

"Shut up, everyone, shut up. I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to make the decision in the Five Elements Sect."

Shi Yuntang shouted, instantly quieting everyone down.

"I heard that some of you said that the sect is supported by you, not by those low-level disciples. So tell me, who is the pillar of the sect between me and you?"

"Uncle, no one has said this, but the prestige of the sect does not lie in the number of disciples, nor in the foundation building and golden elixir, but in the Nascent Soul. This is a fact, and the same is true for the other two families."

"Then how did you come about? Were you a Nascent Soul when you came out of your mother's womb?"

"This..."

"To be honest, if your descendants, disciples and relatives were more motivated, I would treat Wanjing's words as nonsense, but you are not motivated. What have you done with the most resources? Singing girls, mansions, gorgeous clothes and delicacies, and servants who follow you everywhere, what can these do? How can they bring benefits to the sect? Zhang Wanjing, you continue,"

Shi Yuntang said. In the world of immortal cultivation, being green is the original sin. If these people took the benefits and could cultivate powerful disciples, he would accept it, but if they didn't, then they can only change.

"In fact, I don't object to the elders enjoying life a little more. We work so hard to cultivate, not only to pursue immortality, but also to stand out and be superior to others. But the premise is that it cannot affect the development of the sect. We can't enjoy it while the disciples after us can't. They will suffer.

So I suggested to my uncle that from now on, the Yuanying elders of the sect will not be in charge of worldly affairs and will not hold real power. The elders should resign from the positions of the heads of the halls and may not interfere in the operation of the sect. The elders' council is only responsible for two things. First, the safety of the sect, to ensure the safety of all the disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Second, to supervise the sect. The hall masters, deputy hall masters, deacons and managers do specific things. If they don't do a good job, the elders' council can supervise them, admonish them, and dismiss them.

Correspondingly, the sect will increase the treatment of the elders. The elders' salaries can be increased. If they want to enjoy more, the sect can send menial disciples to serve as servants of the elders. If the elders themselves are capable, it doesn't matter if they enjoy higher-level enjoyment."

"Wan Jing means that you should be like me in the future and don't worry about the mundane affairs of the sect. Let those Jindan and foundation-building masters take care of it. You do one more thing than me, and that is to supervise them. Reward them if they do well and punish them if they don't. I think this method is very good."

As soon as Zhang Wanjing finished speaking, Shi Yuntang echoed him. In his opinion, this is a win-win situation. The treatment of the elders has been improved, and the interests of the sect can be guaranteed.

The elders were silent, not knowing what to say for a while. Asking them to resign from the powerful positions of the sect would reduce their opportunities to make money, but their treatment would be improved, which was a bit entangled.

"Uncle Shi, can you make the decision on this matter? "

Finally, Guo Yunfeng asked, there is more than one incarnation of the Five Elements Sect, can Shi Yuntang make this decision?

"Yes, I have talked to the other brothers, and they all agreed with Zhang Wanjing's suggestion."

Shi Yuntang's words completely killed Guo Yunfeng's hope. The other ancestors were also convinced. How did he do it? Did he give the ancestors a magic potion? Can you share the recipe?

"I agree with Zhang Wanjing's suggestion,"

Chen Xuanhua said at this time. There are more than a dozen elders in the Five Elements Sect, and not every elder has a lucrative position to occupy. Chen Xuanhua does not have one, otherwise how could he be arranged to sit in the Wilderness Stronghold? If Zhang Wanjing had not given him a lot of benefits during the years he was there, he would have suffered so much.

"I agree too"

"Me too"

The other elders all agreed, leaving only Guo Yunfeng, Nie Wuyuan and other powerful elders. The Internal Affairs Hall, External Affairs Hall, Alchemy Hall and other halls are all extremely important, and they are unwilling to let go easily.

"Uncle, what should I do as the head of the sect?"

"The head of the sect is still Yuanying, this is the face of the sect"

"Thank you, uncle-master"

"Wanjing, please tell us in detail how to improve the treatment of the elders,"

Shi Yuntang continued. Without some benefits, these people will not let go, and he does not want to make things too ugly.

"Yes, uncle-master, the annual salary of the elders of the sect will be increased from 30,000 spirit stones to 200,000. The sect will provide all the elixirs for cultivation, and guarantee no less than two pills per year. In addition..."

Zhang Wanjing said carefully, he had also carefully calculated this treatment. With these, even if these elders do nothing, they can enjoy a superior enjoyment. Of course, if they want the ultimate enjoyment, they have to find a way themselves.

"This treatment is not bad. The spirit stones that the sect invests in you every year will exceed one million. Are you dissatisfied with anything? "

Shi Yuntang continued, Chen Xuanhua and others were immediately very satisfied, if it was this treatment, it would be much better than before, they were the beneficiaries.

"Uncle-master, what about us stationed in various places?"

"Just like the disciples of the sect, we will get another salary, but we will only be responsible for security issues, not specific affairs."

"Okay, I totally agree,"

Chen Xuanhua once again raised his hands in agreement. Anyway, he hadn't gained too many benefits before, and this time everyone was fair.

"What about you guys, Nie Wuyuan, you speak first?"

"There's nothing to say, I obey the orders of the sect,"

Nie Wuyuan said directly. The Council of Elders has been divided, the interests of the head of the sect have not been touched, Chen Xuanhua and others have benefited, and they are the only ones left. Is it useful for them to hold on? If they don't listen, the ancestor Huashen will suppress them directly.

"What about you? "

Since it is the sect's order, then we shall obey it,"

the other people also agreed. There was no way they could not agree, the ancestor was watching here.

"Since everyone agrees, it will be easy. Wan Jing, do you have anything else to say?"

"Next, let's talk about the selection of the heads of each hall. The head of the hall is a senior member of the sect. When they are in charge of a hall, there must be clear reward and punishment measures. If they do well, the sect will reward them generously. If they do not do well, they will be punished and dismissed. Therefore, in addition to each hall, a new hall will be established to be responsible for supervising each hall, which will be directly under the Elders' Council."

"Then what is the Law Enforcement Hall? Isn't it an overlap?"

"It's not an overlap. The Law Enforcement Hall will be in charge of ordinary disciples in the future, and this hall will be in charge of deacons and above,"

said Zhang Wanjing. Letting him be in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall were all small fights. Now that he has become a Nascent Soul, he must do something big, from top to bottom, to uproot the interests of these people.

Their good days are coming to an end.
