Chapter 639 Sect Affairs
After returning to the sect, Li Qing had a lot to do.
First of all, the decision-making and handling of various important affairs of the sect, many of which were piled up. This was because the other supreme elders could not make up their minds for a while, so they were all left to Li Qing.
Fortunately, these things were not urgent, so it was not too late to make a decision when Li Qing returned to the sect.
Of course, if Li Qing really went out for more than ten or twenty years and did not return, that would be another matter.
The first thing to bear the brunt was some information and news from the Great Wilderness. Li Qing first read the information jade slips related to these things.
His consciousness was slightly touched, and he immediately put the relevant information recorded in the jade slips into his sea of consciousness.
About half a year ago, a great demon in the middle stage of transformation appeared in the Great Wilderness. It was a mysterious demon crocodile, calling himself Crocodile Lord!
This Crocodile Lord quickly integrated all the remaining demons in the entire Great Wilderness, forming a powerful demon alliance and annexing a lot of territory in the Great Wilderness.
The Yin Gui Sect, Ghost Sword Sect, and Blood Spirit Sect, the three demon sects that dominated the entire Great Wilderness, started internal strife as expected after wiping out the righteous sects.
It was precisely because of this reason that the Crocodile Lord had a certain opportunity to take advantage of.
"As expected, these demon sects will not be at peace. After the righteous enemy is gone, they really started internal strife."
Li Qing whispered and shook his head with emotion.
The cultivators who practice the demon path have always been extreme in nature, and because of their own skills, they can't avoid all kinds of bloody killing methods during the practice.
This is also one of the reasons why demon cultivators can make rapid progress in their cultivation in a short period of time. Sometimes, sacrificing thousands of people alive is more effective than taking any panacea.
So fighting and killing are almost commonplace for demon cultivators, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid it.
"The situation in the Great Wilderness is still in chaos."
Under such a chaotic situation, the living environment of other independent cultivators is naturally becoming increasingly difficult, so some independent cultivators have begun to flee the Great Wilderness, fearing that they will be involved in the disputes of the demonic way.
And the Qingling Region has become one of the targets for many independent cultivators to flee.
"Now the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Qingling Region has recovered a lot. After a few years, it may not be much worse than the Great Wilderness Region."
Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
Because of the chaos in the Great Wilderness Region, the number of cultivators in the Qingling Region will definitely increase sharply in the future, especially independent cultivators!
There is no problem at the moment, but no one can say what will happen in the future, and as the overlord of the entire Qingling Region, Lingyun Sect will definitely be affected to a certain extent.
As for whether this impact is good or bad, there is no way to know.
So we have to prepare in advance to deal with various situations that may occur in the future.
The other Jindan Zhenren in the sect are not very good at dealing with this matter, so they directly left this problem to Li Qing.
"The cultivators who fled to Qingling Domain for refuge should be mostly independent cultivators, and what independent cultivators seek is naturally the resources for cultivation."
As an independent cultivator, Li Qing naturally understands the psychology of independent cultivators.
"Others are nothing, but the former site of Lingyun Sect, where the spiritual energy is abundant, will definitely attract many independent cultivators to covet."
"A spiritual vein with such abundant spiritual energy has been vacant all the time, just because it is a weak spatial node connecting to the demon world, but other independent cultivators will not care so much."
If these independent cultivators really cause any big trouble in the future, Lingyun Sect will bear the brunt in the end!
After understanding this, Li Qing rubbed his head with a slight headache. It is really troublesome to deal with this matter.
Because as the situation in the Great Wilderness Domain becomes more and more chaotic, there will definitely be independent cultivators in the Jindan stage fleeing to Qingling Domain in the future. In the Great Wilderness Domain, independent cultivators in the Jindan stage are still quite common.
"We can only send more people to the former site of Lingyun Sect. At least three elders of the foundation-building stage should be left there to guard, and three elders should be rotated each time."
"If ordinary cultivators below the Jindan stage want to come, they will be expelled directly. However, the Jindan stage cultivators have become a big trouble."
No immortal sect is willing to make enemies with Jindan stage cultivators for no reason, not to mention that there is no Yuanying Zhenjun sitting in the Lingyun Sect.
After a long silence, Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, I don't have to worry about this matter at all. If there are Jindan stage cultivators who want to occupy that spiritual vein for cultivation, then let them go."
"Generally speaking, Jindan stage cultivators understand the severity of the matter and will not easily cause a big disaster."
Soon, Li Qing made a decision.
He decided to rent out the former site of Lingyun Sect. Only Jindan stage cultivators are eligible to rent a cave.
But before leasing, first inform these Jindan-stage cultivators of the situation here, so that they know that this is a weak space node connecting to the demon world.
"Haha, this kills three birds with one stone."
"First, I don't have to worry about any major problems with the spiritual veins of the old site of Lingyun Sect, and Jindan-stage cultivators will be more cautious about their lives."
"Second, I can earn a lot of spirit stones every year, which is a half-utilization of waste."
"Third, with Jindan-stage cultivators renting caves to practice in the caves, if something really happens, they will be the first to suffer."
Li Qing was very satisfied with this decision.
As for the cultivators below the Jindan stage, it doesn't matter. With the reputation of Lingyun Sect, they can be easily intimidated.
So, Li Qing flipped through other intelligence jade slips.
The rest of the things are not particularly important, only one or two things are worth mentioning.
For example, some time ago, a cultivator from Wanbao Chamber of Commerce visited and said that he wanted to re-establish Wanbao Tower in Qingling Domain and maintain a cooperative relationship with Lingyun Sect.
To this, Li Qing naturally agreed happily.
When Shangqing Sect wiped out Tianhe Sect, Tianhe Market was directly razed, and Wanbao Tower was also greatly affected.
In addition, several other Wanbao Towers in Qingling Domain were also affected to a certain extent.
Because of this reason, Shangqing Sect, which later ruled the entire Qingling Domain, had a certain rift with Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, so that this chamber of commerce evacuated all Wanbao Towers from Qingling Domain.
Later, Shangqing Sect was destroyed and Lingyun Sect was re-established.
The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce got the news from somewhere, so it planned to reopen the Wanbao Building in Qingling Domain.
For this reason, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce even sent important personnel to meet the high-level officials of Lingyun Sect.
This matter naturally fell on Li Qing's head.
"It's really a pillow sent when you are sleepy. The important personnel of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce can be met." Li Qing whispered. He was indeed very curious about the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing this, Bailing Daojun appeared at the right time.
"Wanbao Chamber of Commerce? This force is not simple. It still stands in the eight domains of the human world for so many years."
Li Qing was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that even Bailing Daojun knew about this chamber of commerce.
"Senior, even you have heard of this Wanbao Chamber of Commerce?"
Bai Ling Dao Jun chuckled and said, "Well, this Chamber of Commerce even opened Wanbao Building in the Monster Domain!"
"Of course, it is limited to those territories occupied by the human race."
"This Chamber of Commerce only does business, everything is based on integrity, and it emphasizes absolute neutrality and making money in harmony."
When these words came out, Li Qing was shocked. To be able to get such an evaluation from Bai Ling Dao Jun, it seems that this Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is indeed not simple.
In the world of cultivating immortals, if you want to be absolutely neutral, it is not just talk, it requires strong strength to support it.
Especially in a place like the ancient monster domain, it is extremely chaotic. This Chamber of Commerce can actually open Wanbao Building there, which shows how powerful it is.
Seeing Li Qing's expression, Bai Ling Dao Jun shook his head and sighed, "It is indeed necessary to build a good relationship with the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. This Chamber of Commerce should also have a certain background in the upper realm."
"Hiss!" This time Li Qing was really stunned, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
"It was really a stroke of luck that the Shangqing Sect was not wiped out by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce."
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, but he felt that this was also related to the business philosophy of this chamber of commerce. From this point, it can be seen that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is indeed very principled.
Under the circumstances at that time, the Shangqing Sect was not wiped out by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but only all the Wanbao Buildings in Qingling Domain were withdrawn. It was really too restrained!
Therefore, Li Qing felt it was necessary to meet with the person in charge sent by this chamber of commerce.
After making this decision, Li Qing ordered the elders of the sect to make an appointment with the person in charge. He wanted to meet the person in charge of this mysterious chamber of commerce in person.
Then, Li Qing flipped through the other intelligence jade slips again.
The last one made him more concerned, that is, in the northern part of Qingling Domain, there were often figures of monks from the grassland.
"The temple tribe of the grassland." Li Qing frowned again.
The Temple Tribe of this grassland has never been concerned with worldly affairs, and rarely extends its hands and feet to places outside the grassland.
"Although the mountain gate is not empty now, it is not protected by a formation, which is a big hidden danger after all."
Without a formation to protect it, it means that if a Jindan-stage cultivator who is good at hiding comes, it will be difficult for the sect to find him.
After all, it is impossible for these Jindan ancestors to keep their spiritual consciousness out all the time.
"We can only ask those immortal cultivation families close to the northern grassland to pay more attention and keep in close contact at all times. Once there is any unusual movement in the Temple Tribe of that grassland, they must react quickly."
Li Qing immediately approved the information on this jade slip.
In addition, he said to Bailing Daojun:
"Senior Bailing, I want to ask you a favor!"
The illusory figure of Bailing Daojun chuckled and said, "Arrange a formation for your Lingyun Sect?"
In response, Li Qing clasped his fists and said seriously, "Yes, a sect without a formation to protect it will always feel empty and uneasy."
Bailing Daojun did not refuse this request, but said, "Although I do have a few powerful formations, I am just an obsession now. I can't do it myself and can only give instructions from the side."
"In addition, some powerful formations have very high requirements for materials. I am afraid that I may not be able to find them even if I search through your Lingyun Sect."
Li Qing didn't know how far Bailing Daojun had gone in the formation before his death, but from what he said on the Beast King Mountain, his attainments in the formation might have touched the fifth level.
However, Lingyun Sect does not need such a powerful formation for the time being. Having a fourth-order formation, or even a third-order formation, would be very good.
"Senior Bai Ling, the level of the formation does not need to be that high. A fourth level is enough." Li Qing clasped his fists respectfully.
Senior Bai Ling said: "I came here with you to find the successor of the mantle. Unexpectedly, I haven't started looking for the successor yet, but you are treating me as a coolie."
"Oh, that's all. For the sake of bringing me out of my ancestral land, I'll help you. But remember, kid, finding a successor for me must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!"
Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said gratefully: "Li Qing will keep this matter in mind. After the chores at hand are dealt with, he will immediately let the elders of the sect take action."
With this promise, Lord Bailing said nothing more, but said straightforwardly:
"Call all the formation masters from Qin Sect over here, and let me see what spiritual materials you can use in Lingyun Sect's treasure house!"
Just like that, the matter was finalized.
Without saying a word, Li Qing arranged the matter directly and ordered people to call over all the formation masters in the sect.
Taking advantage of this little time, he quickly finished reviewing the remaining jade slips, and his tense spirit relaxed.
"The next Immortal Ascension Conference is coming soon. It's almost time to select a leader to handle the chores from the last Immortal Ascension Conference."
Now that Lingyun Sect has gradually stabilized, he cannot really focus his energy and time on such matters all the time. Cultivation is the foundation of everything.
So Li Qing decided to start selecting a leader before the next Immortal Ascension Conference.
From now on, he will be content to be a Supreme Elder and only participate in some more important decisions. From now on, matters like this will be left to the head.
In this case, he can also focus next on his practice.
The most important thing is to move towards the Nascent Soul stage as early as possible.
After that, under the call of Li Qing, all the formation masters of the sect gathered towards the peak of the head hall, and even those formation masters who only knew a few formations were called over.
Outside the main hall, these array masters all looked at each other, wondering why Patriarch Wuji called them over.
Soon, the main door of the hall slowly opened, and a tall figure walked out.
Li Qing looked at the formation masters outside the hall, and then said calmly: "Everyone, I won't show off any more. I called you here this time to set up a large formation to protect the sect!"
As soon as these words came out, all these formation mages were stunned.
Arrange a large formation to protect the sect?
But among them, the one with the best formation skills is just a second-level high-grade formation master. He is absolutely powerless to arrange the third-level formations!
"Ancestor Wuji, I'm afraid we are powerless to protect this great formation of our sect."
"Yes, yes, I have no problem arranging the second-level small spirit gathering array, but if it involves the third-level formation,"
"This matter needs to be considered carefully to avoid wasting spiritual materials."
Li Qing shook his head. He chuckled and said, "Haha, don't worry, I want you to come here just to assist. I have other ideas on how to arrange the formation."
