Chapter 157 Reasonable Demand "The accounts all match up. Thank you for your hard work, brother. The revenue in the first half of this year has increased by a full 15% compared to the same period last year!" These spirit stones are extremely useful whether used to train disciples or to build up the sect's territory. After checking accounts with Qingyu for three days and three nights, although Qingxuan felt very tired, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. As the head of the sect, it is such a fulfilling feeling to see the sect prospering under his management! "Thanks to Junior-nephew Wenxin's mining machine, the number of miners this year has been reduced by 90%, and the cost has been reduced a lot, while the mining efficiency has increased countless times, creating immeasurable value. Another thing is that in the past six months, the auction house in the city has been operating very well, and its profits have doubled, also thanks to Junior-nephew Wenxin's new invention." Taoist Qingyu couldn't stop smiling. Qing Xuan stretched and stood up from the futon, with a very happy smile on his gentle face: "This child has finally grown up! I don't have high expectations for her, as long as she doesn't get into trouble. I didn't expect her to be so capable when it comes to doing serious work." Qingxuan is a senior brother with a strong sense of responsibility. He will never ignore any problems faced by his junior brothers and sisters. Wei Wenxin is his nephew, and he has been raised by him since childhood and is the one he values the most, so it is natural that they have a special relationship. Whenever Qingxuan heard someone praising her, she would feel happy from the bottom of her heart. After all, it’s our own child! "Yeah! This kid has really made a lot of progress in the past few years."
After thinking about it, I felt that this was not specific enough, so I added: “In fact, she is very smart, but she has never used her brain properly before. Look at her, she just casually made a spiritual bamboo puppet, how useful is it! "There is also the spiritual charcoal made by the garbage disposal. This year, the young disciples went to the Piaoxue Sect for training, and the logistics department gave each child a bunch of it. When they came back, not a single one was frostbitten. It was really a big help." You have to know that the heating array plate costs hundreds of spirit stones each, and it takes several more spirit stones to use it for one night. Many young disciples do not have the financial resources for that. The Logistics Department purchased this spiritual charcoal from Meng Xiaoling at a price of one thousand spiritual stones. The sect sells it to disciples at the original price. If there were no purchase restrictions, any disciple could buy it for several thousand dollars. One piece can be burned for an hour, and you can still use it up even if you go out for training for a month. It is so nourishing! The two walked out of the room while talking, just in time for the sun to rise. The round sun jumped out from the foggy ravine, like a red salted duck egg, and the bare forest seemed to have a little more warmth. Taoist Qingxuan had a great appetite, so he decided to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast and check whether the work there was done properly. Outer disciples are the foundation of the Wanjian Sect, and Taoist Master Qingxuan has always attached great importance to their growth. Qingyu had agreed to coordinate spiritual materials for Lingyun Peak's housewarming party, and now he had to go to the city, so he could only reject his invitation and left on his flying sword. Qingxuan was in a very good mood and was not in a hurry. He stepped on a white cloud, found a secluded corner, and slowly landed on the tall lamppost in the corner of the big square. It was still early and the lights were not turned off yet, so you couldn't see the top from below, but you could see everything below from above. There are nearly 60,000 outer disciples at Lianhua Peak, and they do morning exercises here every day. Formations one after another, uniform sword moves, strengthening the body, becoming familiar with sword techniques, working hard day after day, until the sword becomes an inseparable part of oneself... Under the guidance of their senior brothers and sisters, the new disciples have now become accustomed to the life in the mountain gate and have practiced their sword-fighting skills quite well. Taoist Qingxuan was pleased to see this. It is indeed gratifying that there are successors.
After watching for a long time and seeing that his disciples were beginning to sweat, he estimated that the time was almost up. Not wanting to compete with them for the cafeteria, Taoist Qingxuan was just about to go early when he saw a group of immortal swords descending from the sky and surrounding him tightly. No wonder I didn’t see the busy figures of the Xianjian masters in the square today. So something happened? I don’t know what happened? The buzzing sound frightened the disciples below so much that they no longer dared to practice sword skills. I'm so angry at the first sight! Qingxuan Daojun looked calm, shook his sleeves, and respectfully performed the junior's salute: "Greetings to all the ancestors!" Then he led the way naturally: "The children are still doing morning exercises. The ancestors have something to do. Follow me up the mountain!" The ancestors only want contribution points, only want spirit stones, only want soul-nourishing trees, only want residual soul extractors... So I didn’t want to make too much noise and let the children laugh at me. So he cooperated very well and followed him back to the meeting hall. Taoist Qingxuan was very experienced. As soon as he entered the hall, he took out a long table for the ancestors to sit down. Flying swords were inserted diagonally into the long wooden table, even the angles were the same, the sword tassels swayed in unison, at exactly the same frequency, giving the impression of a common hatred of the enemy. Daoist Master Qingxuan's heart trembled, but the smile on his face did not fade at all: "I wonder what you need from me, elders? We are all one family. When we encounter difficulties, Qingxuan will definitely not stand idly by! I hope you will be patient and let's talk slowly, okay?" With such a good attitude, how could there be anything wrong? [We have contributed so much to the sect, why don't we have any contribution points? ] [It’s inconvenient to buy something! It’s so pitiful! ] well. That's a good question. The immortal sword that spoke first was the oldest, being the ancestor from eighty thousand years ago. Take this as an example. There is no daily expenditure on Xianjian, so if there are contribution points, most of them can only be saved. If they just save up for tens of thousands of years and then ask the sect to pay it back in one lump sum, the sect’s finances will collapse. But it is obviously impossible to explain such a complicated principle to the sword spirit. "Hey--" Taoist Qingxuan sighed deeply, and his face was suddenly filled with sorrow. [Why are you sighing? Those spirit beasts and birds can get rewards for their work, why shouldn't we get any?] 【Don’t we deserve it?! 】 Because since ancient times, the natal sword has existed as the owner's property! Why do we need property? This is the established rule, and no one can explain why it was done this way in the first place.
But the question raised by our ancestors is indeed a big problem! Now they no longer have masters, and they have become weapon cultivators, so they should enjoy everything that cultivators are entitled to! but-- "I personally agree with the ancestors' point of view. The ancestors have protected the development of the sect and have made great contributions. They should indeed be rewarded. This is a very reasonable request, but this matter is too big and I don't have the final say! I have to initiate a meeting of elders to discuss this matter. I wonder what the ancestors think?" This was reasonable and the immortal sword masters readily agreed. It wasn't until three days later that I discovered that the so-called discussion by this group of juniors not only produced no results, but their insults became more and more vicious! The Xianjian ancestors immediately became unhappy! Recently, I quietly changed the vegetables at home to organic vegetables from the farm, and Juan Wang and the two children didn't know. No pesticides, no hormones, no fertilizers, very sweet, taste good. In the past, no one ate vegetarian dishes at home, but now no one eats meat, and we finish them every day. The two little ones never liked to eat vegetables, but after changing to organic vegetables, they eat up the rice every day. Today, Wang Jie, the rice residue, asked me if I still had the eggplant from yesterday? My God, he is over five years old, and this is the first time he asked me for vegetables. In the past, I only made three dishes for dinner, and usually I couldn't finish them, but now I have to make five and eat them all. Oh. When I was young, I ate organic vegetables grown by my grandma every day, but my mind was full of meat. I really didn't know how to cherish it! Now living in the city, it's not easy to eat healthy food. Organic vegetables are basically three times the price of ordinary vegetables. Now I can't bear to throw away even the eggplant stems. I have to peel them off and stir-fry them with peppers. A while ago, I joined a local group for growing flowers and vegetables. Many experts have achieved fruit and vegetable freedom at home, I'm so envious. Now I'm waiting for Juan Wang to retire and the children to go to college. We will buy a house with land in the suburbs, and grow vegetables and go fishing at home every day. Oh. Thinking that I still have to type for more than 20 years before I can retire, I feel that life is bleak. Last year, a sister said that she could retire this year, and I was so envious! Because the retirement age for freelancers is five years later. (End of this chapter)
