"Disciple Xuanyu, please see the master!" a quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu's imperial sword came to the stone gate of the master Zhang Yuanzhen's cave, saluted and shouted to the cave.

"It's Xuanyu! Come in quickly!" as the voice of Shiniang Zhou Yutong came from the cave, the stone gate of the cave rose.

"Disciple Xuanyu, meet Shiniang and Shizu!" Liu Yu stepped into the cave and saw that in addition to Shiniang Zhou Yutong, the Taoist companion "Xuanzhao Taoist" of Shizu's "Xuanmu immortal" Zhou Lutong was also sitting in the cave and busy praying.

"No need to be polite! Xuanyu, come and sit down and try the new tea sent by your cousin!" the teacher's mother Zhou Yutong smiled and asked Liu Yu to sit down, poured a cup of steaming green tea and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, martial mother! Isn't he in the mansion?" Liu Yu was so anxious that he was not in the mood to taste tea. Besides, "Taoist Xuanzhao", an elder of Shizu level, was there. He couldn't come forward to sit down and bow his hand.

"The bad news was sent back from beiluan city. Your teacher was called to discuss this!" the teacher's mother Zhou Yutong replied with a frown, and then said, "what's the matter with your teacher?"

"Disciples also heard about this. It is said that there are few survivors among the disciples of the sect who go to the" black and white secret land "to collect miraculous medicine. I don't know whether it is true or false?" Liu Yu's heart became more and more uneasy when he heard that the master was called by the sect to discuss.

"The rumor is true indeed. Only three of the two teams of elite disciples sent into the secret place came out alive." Shiniang Zhou Yutong nodded and said.

"Is that younger martial sister her?" Liu Yuxin asked at once.

"Don't worry! Zhi'er is one of the three who survived." Zhou Yutong knew that he was going to ask about it when he saw Liu Yu coming in a hurry, and said with a smile.

Zhi'er, a girl who is ancient and strange, fits her temperament very much. This time, she went to the "black and white secret land". Zhou Yutong also persuaded for a long time. Finally, she didn't stop. She was shocked when she heard the bad news from beiluan city. Fortunately, it was said that Tang Zhi was one of the three surviving people, which was a false alarm.

"Great!" Liu Yu was relieved to hear this.

"Now feel at ease! Come and sit down. The new tea has just been picked. Try it quickly." the Shiniang Zhou Yutong said hello again, and then introduced to Zhou Lutong: "cousin, this is the new disciple of Yuanzhen a few years ago, Xuanyu!"

"I've seen Shizu!" Liu Yu said respectfully again.

"Sit down!" Zhou Lutong took a closer look at Liu Yu and said lightly. She has heard of this son. She was originally a disciple of younger martial brother Tang Hao. Now she belongs to elder martial brother Zhang Yuanzhen and has opened up the "purple house" with the capital of three spiritual roots. If the younger martial brother knows it, she will be very happy.

She and Tang Hao are under the "Xuanmu immortal" sect. She has always had a good relationship. She knows that Tang Hao's disciples are full of crooked melons and bad dates. This son can build a foundation successfully and retain some reputation for younger martial brother Tang.

"Shiniang Xie!" Liu Yu sat down and took the tea made by Shiniang Zhou Yutong. She took a sip, full of fragrance, and showed the unique pure rain and dew of new tea, which was refreshing.

Liu Yu had the honor to drink this tea several times. It is called "Junshan silver needle". It is the best quality of many kinds of tea Liu Yu has drunk.

At the same time, in the conference hall of the back hall of the topaz hall, "Xuannan Taoist" Zhang Yuanzhen, "crazy lion Taoist" Xiao jinteng, "Jifeng Taoist" Xia Houhai, "autumn Taoist" Huang Wei, "Haoyi Taoist" Bai Yucheng, "Hongyi Taoist" Yan Shuangcheng, six managers of Huang Shengzong have arrived.

"Everyone must have heard the news from beiluan city. Younger martial brother Jifeng, you should tell us about the specific situation!" when the people sat down, Yan Shuangcheng, the leader of the internal affairs hall, took the lead in saying.

Yan Shuangcheng is the eldest disciple of Huang Shengzong's "holy chess immortal". Except for occasional important affairs that need the "holy chess immortal" of Huang Shengzong, Yan Shuangcheng takes care of them all. It can be regarded as the acting leader of the sect. The sect's status is only lower than that of the five Jindan immortal.

"The" black and white secret mirror "sect disciples suffered heavy casualties. In addition to the two teams of elite disciples sent, only three survived. Many disciples working in beiluan city were also killed when they entered the secret mirror to collect medicine. A total of 54 people were killed." Xia Houhai said with a gloomy face.

"Although the" black and white secret mirror "has always been a dangerous place, and there have been casualties among the sect disciples in the past, it has never been such a situation that the whole team has almost been destroyed. When the" younger martial brother Wofeng "returns to the sect, he must ask how he is the leader and Deacon this time?"

"And the medicine gathering disciples selected by the sect this time have such unbearable cultivation achievements. There are so many casualties in a small yellow rank and top secret place?" Huang Wei, who is a Taoist robe, tall and thin, and looks like a middle-aged Taoist, said angrily.

"What do you mean?" Xia Houhai asked angrily, his face suddenly changed.

The team leader is Xia houchuan, his second younger brother, and "Wofeng" is the name of Xia houchuan. Moreover, more than half of the two teams of medicine collecting disciples are the children of Xia Hou's family, and Qi Lingyu, the leading disciple, went out to Xia Hou Haimen. The Xia Hou's family was seriously damaged during the secret land trip.

Huang Wei, an old rival, deliberately made trouble at this time and fell into a well. Xia Houhai, who was already heartbroken, became more and more angry and looked very ugly.

"Well, younger martial brother qiuri, say a few words. The changes in the" black-and-white secret mirror "this time have nothing to do with the cultivation of many selected medicine collecting disciples. It is said that lizards in the secret territory have strange phenomena. There are two or three" golden armor leaders "in some tribes at the same time. Their strength has greatly increased, which has surprised all medicine collecting disciples." Yan Shuangcheng saw that younger martial brother qiuri had to challenge, Immediately interrupted.

"Oh! Really?" said senior brother Hongyi. Huang Wei snorted and didn't open his mouth to challenge Xia Houhai.

This time, the Xiahou family competed for the position of manager of this medicine collection task, and arranged a large number of family disciples into the medicine collection team. They didn't want to steal chickens and eat rice. They not only lost more than 20 family disciples, but also their own disciples, Qi Lingyu, who has "rain and thunder style" and great potential.

Seeing the pig liver color on Xia Houhai's face, Huang Wei was very happy. Xia Houhai! Xia Houhai! You're stupid this time!

"Lizard people in the secret place do have strange phenomena. This time, not only our disciples were seriously injured, but also few disciples of lingbing palace and Wanyao Valley survived, and received secret reports. The same is true of Tianluo secret school and lingbeast school." Bai Yucheng replied at this time.

"Why?" Zhang Yuanzhen asked with a frown.

"That's right! These lizards are naturally stupid. All tribes fight against each other and kill each other. Even if there are a few more" golden armor leaders ", all the disciples sent by each sect are elite disciples, protected by magic tools and talismans. It's reasonable to say that they don't worry! How can there be such heavy casualties?" Xiao jinteng, the leader of the law enforcement hall, was also very puzzled,

"According to the news from the surviving disciples and some escaped sanxiu, there should be a wise man among the lizard people!" Bai Yucheng continued.

"Younger martial brother Haoyi, what is a wise man?" Xiao jinteng, with red hair and tall and burly body, asked in a rough voice.

"I have read many ancient books. It is recorded in the book that the lizard people in the" black and white secret mirror "are indigenous. At first, each tribe was the leader of a clan named yingyue. There was a lizard king named yingyue · Nu Feng, whose combat power was close to the golden pill. In ancient times, each sect joined forces to send disciples to enter the secret territory with the secret treasure for several times. After several bloody battles, they killed the Lizard King and destroyed the yingyue clan."

"After the collapse of the yingyue clan, the lizard people's clans fought against each other like a plate of loose sand, and the" black and white secret mirror "became a place for picking miraculous medicines. Tens of thousands of strong people rose occasionally, which would unify all tribes and bring a lot of casualties to the medicine picking disciples, which was called" wise man ", Bai Yucheng slowly explained.

"Is there such a thing? What should we do?" Zhang Yuanzhen was not fooled. This "black and white secret mirror" has always been the place for picking various miraculous medicines. He didn't expect that there were such miracles in it. After the war, the demand for "broken empty grass" and "Seven Star Flower" miraculous medicines increased greatly, and now such changes have taken place again.

"Senior brother Xuannan, don't worry about it. It needs to be determined whether there are" wise men "in the lizard tribe. Even if so, according to the method recorded in ancient books, send a large number of elite disciples into the secret place to kill the" wise man ", and all the lizard people will return to a mess." Bai Yucheng said with confidence.

"If there is such a thing, the secret place will be opened again, and the children of Xiahou family will go to war for the sect!" Xiahou Hai said gritting his teeth.

"Well, this matter needs to be discussed with lingbing palace and Wanyao valley. Haoyi! Have all the Taoist" Qingke pills "been taken back?" Yan Shuangcheng frowned and interrupted Xia Houhai.

"All the doors have been taken back, a total of 214 in half a year!" Bai Yu replied immediately after his establishment. He was fully responsible for taking back the "Qingke Dan" of each tunnel. He took it back once half a year without delaying a moment.

"Younger martial brother Xuannan, how many disciples of the sect have built a foundation successfully in the past six months?" Yan Shuangcheng nodded and turned to Zhang Yuanzhen.

"Elder martial brother, in the past six months, a total of 29 disciples have entered the" building stone room "to build the foundation, and two have advanced to open up the purple house." Zhang Yuanzhen replied with an arched hand.

"According to the secret reports sent back by the secret disciples of Tianluo secret school and lingbeast school, there is no difference between the two. Li Ruizong, a disciple of the sect stationed in Xiyi Taoist temple, violated the sect rules and * * several mortal women fled into the Xiyi mountains after the incident. The law enforcement younger brothers who had been tracked the day before yesterday were killed on the spot." Xiao jinteng said when he saw senior brother Hongyi looking at himself.

"This sect has 9632 official disciples, 9150 Qi training disciples and 477 foundation building disciples."

"In half a year, the basic monthly salary is 1.8 million low-level spirit stones, the total expenditure of mission remuneration and post salary of the sect is 11.27 million low-level spirit stones, and 110 million low-level spirit stones are spent on various matters such as meals, refining tools, drawing symbols and raising spirit animals." Huang Wei took out a thick account book and said in detail.

"Zongmen has 323 mines of various sizes, such as fine iron ore, fine copper ore and Ling gold mine. There are 24 Lingshi veins (16 are being mined, 6 are not being mined and 2 are not being mined). The mining income of mineral resources in half a year is 65 million pieces of low-grade Lingshi."

"The shops and Huang Holy Spirit villa set up by the zongmen all over the country have a total income of 60 million low-level spiritual stones, and the spiritual fields and medicine gardens all over the zongmen have a total income of 30 million low-level spiritual stones."

"After deducting various expenses, the net income of the storehouse in the door in recent half a year is about 30 million low-grade spiritual stones." when Huang Wei finished, Xia Houhai also took out a thick account book and said.

"If you continue to explain, from today on, the rewards for all tasks, spirit stones and contribution points of zongmen will be doubled." Yan Shuangcheng said after listening to the two stewards of Wanwu hall, Huang Wei and Xia Houhai.

"Elder martial brother! If so, the monthly expenditure and income of the sect will be close to the same, and there can't be many spiritual stones in the library." Xia Houhai was surprised and hurriedly reminded him.

"This is what the patriarch ordered. Just let him know." Yan Shuangcheng took a deep breath and said. The master's intention is far-reaching. It is obviously after careful consideration.

During the cloud sea war, more than 3000 disciples of the sect were killed and injured, and most of them were in the middle and late stage of Qi practice. Therefore, the sect set up a Taoist hall in major cities to recruit disciples. The sect added 4000 Taoist children. Seven of these Taoist children became poor children, came from a secular family and had no family support. It will be very difficult to improve their cultivation in the future.

The master doubled the reward for various tasks of the sect. The disciples who practice Qi in the sect directly benefit, especially these poor children who are like scattered cultivation. Because the foundation building friars of the sect and the Qi training children of various families occupy 90% of the positions of the sect. Although the reward for tasks is doubled, the salary of each position has not been improved.

Almost all the miscellaneous tasks assigned by the sect are completed by these poor disciples. These miscellaneous tasks are usually time-consuming and laborious, and the reward is not high. They have always been thankless. The poor disciples at the bottom don't want to take the task, but they have no choice.

The patriarch obviously intended to improve the overall treatment of Qi training disciples, so as to quickly restore the number of middle and late Qi training disciples sharply reduced in the sect war. At the same time, he also expected more Qi training disciples to impact the foundation period. After all, the three sects only agreed a truce with Tianluo secret sect and lingbeast sect. Once a millennium passes, the war will rekindle.
