A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 665: Chapter 506: Personnel Changes (Part 3)

Fourteen years ago, during Shuangye Alliance’s first and only martial arts tournament, Li Da won first place in the Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation track, earning a promotion to Inner Sect Bing Class. Over the following fourteen years, he continued to refine his skills and contributed greatly to the sect, culminating in a successful promotion to Inner Sect Yi Class at this year’s annual Elder Meeting, thus qualifying him for the role of a steward.

Assigning positions in such circumstances is a natural progression.

Tan Yunxing was already a True Disciple, and as the Sect Leader’s second disciple, his cultivation was nearing the tenth level of Qi Cultivation, making it reasonable for him to take on the role of a steward.

Additionally, Lu Qian has approved Xiao Tianci’s previous resignation from the position of Conquest Steward.

Following the adjustments, the responsibilities within Yunshan Sect were distributed as follows:

Transmission Elder Yang Jiye

Internal Affairs Elder Jiang Qingfeng (assisted by Lin Le)

Business Steward Lin Le, Business Steward Li Da

Deputy Reward Elder Wu Yan

Punishment Elder Wang Yu

Inspector Steward Su Yan

Deputy Foreign Affairs Elder Zheng Duan

Conquest Steward Wu Zilan

Security Steward Tan Yunxing.

During Jiang Qingfeng’s seclusion, Lin Le took the lead in internal affairs, while he handed over most of the already mature business operations to Li Da, only overseeing the strategic direction himself.

Fortunately, over these years, the two Internal Affairs Stewards originally assigned to Jiang Qingfeng have become very skilled, preventing Lin Le from being overly burdened and affecting his increasingly significant cultivation time.

Replacing Xiao Tianci to assume the position of Conquest Steward was Wang Yu’s disciple, Wu Zilan. Lu Qian made this decision with consideration for her.

Over the years, although Wu Zilan’s cultivation had not waned, her mental state was not good. She was terribly haggard due to long-term grieving for her fallen partner, Fanx Shang.

Her master Wang Yu had long ceased to comfort people, even thinking in his heart that such emotions were burdensome. Since the deceased had passed, one should live one’s life well. ℴ

Under these circumstances, Wu Zilan remained somewhat depressed. Since the coming period would be free of conquest matters for Yunshan Sect, the position of Conquest Steward was indeed quite leisurely, thus granting it to Wu Zilan as a way to ease her burdens and lift her spirits.

Receiving the latest appointments, both Li Da and Tan Yunxing were rather excited and anxious.

There was no need to mention Li Da’s eagerness to rise to prominence and establish achievements. Now, through his efforts, he had assumed the position of steward, becoming one of the core members of Yunshan Sect.

Moreover, this was no ordinary steward position but the Business Steward managing Yunshan Sect’s financial path!

With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he felt immense honor, bowing repeatedly in gratitude to the sect and the Sect Leader for their cultivation.

Meanwhile, Tan Yunxing was also flushed with excitement, his body trembling slightly. This was the first time in many years that he felt recognized and valued by his master. Furthermore, he knew that this position held a legacy, being the role his mother, Zhang Lemei, once occupied, adding profound significance for him.

Seeing his excitement, Lu Qian thought about how he had been unusually strict and even somewhat suppressive towards him over the years, feeling a touch of guilt. He then offered kind words of comfort, which only made Tan Yunxing more apprehensive, bringing tears to his eyes.

After finalizing Yunshan Sect’s work arrangements, Ji Yunrou finally completed the absorption of the True Dragon Blood.

This absorption resembled the Blood Fusion Secret Technique, residing temporarily within the body, requiring gradual digestion in the following stages.

”So, where do you wish to cultivate next?” Lu Qian asked.

Ji Yunrou strongly condemned Lu Qian for his bridge-burning behavior after using her, but Lu Qian remained unmoved. With a sigh, she responded, ”I’m now a wanted person across the entire state. Where else can I go but back to Hidden Dragon Stream?”

Hidden Dragon Stream’s surface waters were mostly dry, but the underground rivers sprawled like a spider’s web, stretching thousands of miles without known end. Hidden within, unless searched by a Primordial Spirit Profound Monarch himself, it would be difficult to discover her.

The most dangerous place was indeed the safest place, making it a perfect hideaway in plain sight.

Moreover, there was the store of treasures accumulated over centuries by the Divine Flood Dragon Sect there.

Thus, on a moonless and windy night, Lu Qian escorted Ji Yunrou back to Hidden Dragon Stream and left her with a means of contact.

The incident of the Celestial Monarch’s descent finally came to a close. Lu Qian returned to the mountain gate, and Yunshan Sect entered a period of silent development.

However, there was one thing that could not be delayed. Mingyu Sword Sect had already reported to Xuanwei Sect, and a plan on handling the Innate Spiritual Qi was about to be announced, bound to cause an even greater stir in Cangzhou.

”Master, you summoned me.” Wu Yan respectfully saluted.

”Little Yan, you have now reached the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, and have fulfilled your roles as the Sect Leader’s disciple well. It’s time to bestow upon you the most vital inheritance of our sect.”

Wu Yan looked up in surprise, while Lu Qian gazed at her with heartfelt emotion.

Finally, the time had come after more than twenty years of testing and training, enough to prove Wu Yan’s capability and loyalty. Despite some inadequacies and immaturities, no one is perfect; these would be refined over time.

It was time to pass on this inheritance.
