"Yes." Yi Jue and Yi Tian's ancestor retreated obediently. On the way, Yi Tian's grandfather looked at the man in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. But seeing that Yi Jue had no intention of speaking and was walking calmly, he couldn't help but speak after all. "Fellow Daoist, have you taken over as the clan leader?" Yi Jue was secretly delighted, but he remained calm on the surface. "The matter was not settled before. Now with the support of Daoist Canglan, it is almost certain. Please don't blame me." "And please introduce me to the nearby Jindan forces and the situation within the clan." Yi Tian's grandfather was named Danhuo, and the meaning was self-explanatory. He was good at making elixirs, and anyone who made elixirs was naturally under the control of the patriarch. After all, if no one is controlling him, I'm afraid he would really dare to use up all the spiritual herbs in the clan and use them to improve his own skills and get a glimpse of the realm of the alchemy master. "Fellow Daoist, you have finally found the right person. I have been the master of the Spiritual Medicine Hall for two hundred years. There is nothing I don't know about the affairs of the Yellow Spring Valley."
"You should know these three palaces: Huangquan, Youming, and Yinming." "The fifteen halls cover a lot of things, whether it's the Qianji Hall that manages resources and tasks within the clan, the Shang Hall that manages the market, the Lingyao Hall where my alchemy belongs, the Talisman Hall where talismans are made, the Baibao Hall where equipment is refined, puppets, ghost cultivators, spirit pets, and spirit plants, all have their own independent halls." "Next are the Merit Transmission Hall and the Military Hall, the Intelligence Hall and the Patrol Hall, the Merit Hall, and finally the Guest Hall." "These three palaces and fifteen halls together constitute the authority structure of Huangquan Valley." "As a whole, the palace is divided into halls, and the halls are divided into halls, a total of three levels, one level after another." . . . Following the explanation of the old man Dan Huo, Yi Jue finally had a preliminary understanding of the powers and responsibilities of the three palaces and fifteen halls, as well as their specific scale and persons in charge. Of course, Dan Huo only introduced the people and did not talk about who was good or bad. He knew that these were meaningless and would not be useful to talk about now. Next, Yi Jue went to the Sutra Library to look up some information about the procedures of the Jindan Ceremony and the procedures of the clan leader's succession ceremony. To put it simply, the clan's Jindan ceremony is very simple. After all, there are not many Jindans, and one will appear every twenty to thirty years. There is no need to hold a grand ceremony every time. On the contrary, the succession ceremony of the clan leader should be more solemn. After all, if it is just a Jindan ceremony, there is no need to entertain any guests. The main reason is that the clan leader is the representative figure of the clan. Although he cannot represent the Jindan and Yuanying stages, there are more than two million clan members living near the Huangquan Valley, and there are five towns there. These people are also the ones that Yi Jue needs to pay attention to. What's more, among them, there are nearly 20,000 Qi-cultivating cultivators, and although there are a few in the foundation-building stage, there are nearly a thousand, and there are also 24 in the Jindan stage and 2 in the Yuanying stage. Such strength has far surpassed that of Huangfeng Valley and even Yanyue Sect. However, although Tianluo is huge, only the six sects of the demonic way are dominant. No matter how powerful Huangquan Valley is, it is still far less massive than the Hehuan Sect. The Hehuan Sect's foundation building is stronger than the entire Yue Kingdom. It occupies 70% of the essence of the Hengyang Mountains, with caves everywhere and countless vassal forces. If it puts all its strength into the war, even the Huangquan Valley will have to obey its orders and send out all the soldiers in the clan. However, that was the general situation, and this was a special situation. Although Huangquan Sect was nominally a subordinate of Hehuan Sect, it was a subsidiary force, but it was different from other subordinate forces. The simplest example was that the subsidiary forces had to hand over 20% of their annual income every year. But Huangquan Valley has never been crossed. However, despite this, many cultivators in the Hehuan Sect are from the Yi Family. Otherwise, how could there be only more than 20,000 Qi training cultivators among the more than 2 million Yi family members? Thousands of them were all sent to the Hehuan Sect, and even among this group of thousands of people, all of them were of the third spiritual root or above.
Although there were many losses, with mutual support, five or six Jindan cultivators were born. However, the Yi family never intended to recall these Jindan cultivators. Although there were some connections in private, but openly, once they were sent to the Hehuan Sect, the Hehuan Sect was the main focus. In this regard, the Yi family did their duty very well. These six Jindan cultivators have all the Yi family cultivators in the Hehuan Sect under their command. Although there are some who are favored by other Jindan cultivators, almost the vast majority of them are among the six great ancestors. Therefore, the Yi family is a considerable force within the Hehuan Sect alone. Not to mention the base camp in Huangquan Valley. It is said that the Ye family of Jiang State is the Yi family of Huangquan Valley, which is why they are so powerful. And this kind of power, all things, all depend on the patriarch alone. Of course, each mortal city has its own city lord, so Yi Jue does not have to worry about this aspect entirely. However, there are more than 20,000 people in Huangquan Valley, and the daily expenses and affairs of all sizes have to be borne solely by Yi Jue, the patriarch. Therefore, there were many people participating in the patriarch's succession ceremony. Forces near Huangquan Valley, forces of the same level as Huangquan Valley, and the Hehuan Sect all came to watch. Such a grand event naturally means that it cannot be held frequently. The last one was held by Yi Jue’s father, Yi Tianxing. At that time, Yi Jue had not yet been born. Now, sixty years have passed. Normally, the position of clan leader rotates every two decades. One takes the position in the early stage of Jindan, and then steps down in the middle stage of Jindan. Then, with the help of the resources accumulated when being clan leader, one cultivates to the late stage of Jindan. By then, there will be hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. In this way, each Nascent Soul can serve as nine clan leaders during their thousand-year lifespan. This generation of Soul-Devouring Ancestor broke through to the Nascent Soul stage more than three hundred years ago. Under his leadership, three clan leaders have been replaced. The first one has now broken through to the peak of the Core Formation stage, and the second one stepped down sixty years ago and had also broken through to the late Core Formation stage. Yi Tianxing's father is the third subordinate of the Soul-Devouring Ancestor. He has been relying on the resources of the Jiang Kingdom for sixty years and is currently in seclusion to break through to the middle stage of the Jindan stage. These are the cultivators chosen by the Soul-Devouring Ancestor who have the hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. This is also the tradition of Huangquan Valley. If you want the resources to form a baby, it is not impossible. If you have served the clan for two decades, you can naturally get a place with this. But even so, not everyone has the opportunity. Since Yi Jue's father had created a business out of thin air, he would have to lay a solid foundation and it would be easy for him to get a quota to exchange for infant-forming resources. However, the difficulty has never been the qualification for redemption, but the resources! Yi Jue had heard that there were resources in Huangquan Valley that were clearly inherited and could increase the success rate of forming a fetus. It took exactly 120 years to condense one portion, so the output each time was fixed. And Yi Jue was the one who cut in line. (End of this chapter)
