Chapter 642: Selection of the Leader

True Lord Tianbao from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce did come to visit with good intentions. He just planned to continue to open Wanbao Towers in various places in the Qingling Territory.

To this end, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is also willing to provide convenience to Lingyun Sect in all aspects.

For example, some spiritual materials, spiritual materials, elixirs, etc. that are produced less in Qingling Domain are willing to be sold directly to Lingyun Sect at a lower price.

As for Lingyun Sect, if there are any precious magic weapons or some high-level talisman pills that they want to trade in the future, they are willing to trade them happily.

This was definitely a very generous offer for the Lingyun Sect, and Li Qing could hardly find any reason to reject it.

After all, the Qingling Domain is just a large domain, and it is impossible to have all the resources as it is vast and rich.

For example, the Tianyuan Flower that Li Qing went to sea to look for before was not produced in the Qingling Territory.

If you hook up with the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce in the future, you can directly ask the other party to buy it with spiritual stones, or trade with other resources, instead of Li Qing aimlessly searching around the world.

The footprints of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce are almost all over the human world, and the types of resources they have are definitely the richest.

There is no force in the entire human world that can even compete with it.

Without much thought, Li Qing quickly agreed to True Lord Tianbao's proposal.

"Haha, we, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, do not interfere in the disputes between various forces in the world. We are only willing to maintain absolute neutrality and make peace and wealth."

"If other powerful immortal sects emerge in the Qingling Territory in the future, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will also cooperate with them in business. I hope fellow Taoist Wuji can understand this."

Tianbao Zhenjun pulled out a folding paper fan from nowhere and said while fanning it.

Li Qing can naturally understand this. As long as the other party can truly maintain absolute neutrality and not help each other in any disputes between forces, that is enough!

"No problem, I can agree to this condition!" Li Qing nodded and agreed.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on True Lord Tianbao's face became a little more relaxed, and he said:

"Actually, when the Chamber of Commerce sent me to Qingling Territory this time, I originally planned to beat up the Shangqing Sect."

"The Immortal War launched by the Shangqing Sect throughout the Qingling Territory has affected several Wanbao Towers in my Chamber of Commerce."

"Later, I sent other people in charge of the Danjie period to negotiate with the Qing sect, but I don't know where this sect got the courage and its attitude was extremely bad. It's really irritating."

"But since this sect has been destroyed, it saves me a lot of effort."

After hearing this, Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "If you are a good person, you will get a lot of help, but if you are a bad person, you will get little help! Our Lingyun Sect will never be as short-sighted as the Shangqing Sect. Please rest assured, Lord Tianbao!"

In this regard, Tianbao Zhenjun is even more satisfied. To put it bluntly, their Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is doing business in various major areas to develop and grow.

Now that the Qingling Territory is almost unified by the Lingyun Sect, the future environment should not be as strife-ridden as in other large regions. This is what the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is most willing to see.

"Hahahaha, this is the best!"

"It's almost time for me to leave. In the future, we will send people to select a site to rebuild Wanbao Tower. In the future, we will have to rely on the care of fellow Taoist Wuji!"

With that said, True Lord Tianbao stood up and was already planning to leave.

Li Qing offered a few words to persuade him to stay, but True Lord Tianbao seemed to have other things to do and did not intend to stay any longer.

In this way, Li Qing sent the other party out of the sect all the way. After watching the other party's figure disappear from the horizon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh! Talking to a True Lord Nascent Soul is really stressful. If it weren't for the Tianyuan Spirit Killing Formation, I really wouldn't have the confidence to talk to him as a peer!"

In the world of cultivating immortals, there is a gap in realm, and that is the gap between seniors and juniors.

Li Qing summoned up a certain amount of courage by calling him True Lord Tianbao instead of Senior Tianbao.

"The Nascent Soul Stage. Without the Nascent Soul Stage monks in charge, I am afraid that our Lingyun Sect will not be able to dominate the entire Qingling Territory for a long time in the future."

In today's Qingling Territory, the spiritual energy is gradually recovering, becoming more and more intense, and the monastic environment is becoming more and more excellent.

It is conceivable that the monastic resources in this large area will become abundant, and the number of high-level monks may begin to increase in the future.

If you want to continue to dominate the entire Qingling Territory, just relying on a few pill-forming monks in the sect and a Tianyuan Spirit-killing Formation is still missing something after all.

Lingyun Sect urgently needs a Nascent Soul Stage monk to take charge. Only in this way can it be able to cope with any changes that follow.

After Li Qing calmed down his inner emotions, he withdrew and returned to his Lingfeng Cave.

The time after that was relatively peaceful, and nothing major happened in Lingyun Sect. It was just Li Yuhuan who carried out the tasks given to her by Li Qing step by step.

She took the bronze fragment that contained Dao Lord Bailing and asked every disciple and elder of the sect to touch it personally.

However, the results were bleak. Until everyone from Lingyun Sect came into contact with it, this bronze fragment did not show any strange movement.

Li Yuhuan even suspected that the bronze fragment her master gave her would not react at all. It was still rusty and did not look like anything special.

This means that there is no one in the entire Lingyun Sect who meets the requirements of Lord Bailing, and no one is qualified to inherit the mantle of this great monk in the transformation stage.

Li Qing was not surprised at all.

The inheritance of Bailing Daojun was too demanding. Not only did it require extraordinary talent in cultivation, but also required certain talent in various cultivation skills such as refining tools, refining pills, setting up formations, drawing talismans, etc.

In Li Qing's opinion, this was almost impossible.

In today's cultivation world, basically no cultivator would do such a stupid thing.

Everyone focuses on cultivation, and then based on this, they practice a cultivation skill, such as refining tools or refining pills, etc.

Once there are too many cultivation skills, it will cause a problem, and they will bite off more than they can chew!

Often such cultivators end up accomplishing nothing, not being proficient in any skills, and even their own cultivation is difficult to make any progress.

Even Li Qing, who has a long life, is unwilling to make such an attempt.

From this point, it can be seen how great the talent of Bailing Daojun is!

Finally, Li Qing recovered the bronze fragments from his apprentice. He sighed and promised Bailing Daojun that he would target the entire Qingling Domain and mobilize the power of the entire sect to select suitable disciples for him.

In response, Bailing Daojun was no longer anxious. He said:

"No need to make such a big fuss. I was too naive before. People with such talents are hard to come by. Let it go."

"You are a person with great luck. I think you should be able to find such a person before my obsession disappears!"

Li Qing was stunned after hearing this, but just shook his head and didn't talk more about this topic.

In the days to come, Li Qing practiced hard in the cave.

In the Ten Thousand Beast Secret Realm of the Demon Domain, he got a lot of benefits. At this moment, he needed a lot of time to digest all of this and transform it into his own strength.

And the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce finally made a move. They sent a lot of people and began to select the address for the establishment of Wanbao Building in various places in Qingling Domain.

Finally, they initially selected five addresses, namely the former Tianhe Market, the leased Tianhe Sect site, the Hejian Market near the Lingyun Sect, the Lingyun Market in the former Qingling South Region, and the border area near the grassland in the northern Qingling Region.

The number may increase in the future, and Li Qing did not mind it at all. Instead, he provided convenience to the other party to the greatest extent and even sent some disciples of the sect to help.

In this way, time passed in a flash, and another three years passed in a hurry.

During this period, the Lingyun Sect held the sect's second Ascension Conference!

The second Ascension Conference was also eye-catching, and even had a faint situation of surpassing the first Ascension Conference. There were many casual cultivators who came to participate, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Of course, all this is due to the fact that the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Qingling Region is becoming more and more rich, the cultivation environment is getting better and better, and the number of casual cultivators is constantly increasing.

In addition, there are constantly casual cultivators from the southern Great Wilderness Region crossing in various ways to avoid disaster and avoid the impact of the Immortal Dao War!

All in all, the Qingling Region is getting more and more lively now.

Although there are no clear traces of Jindan stage cultivators, according to some rumors, there should be Jindan stage cultivators in the Qingling Region.

As for the origins of these cultivators, no one can figure it out. It is possible that they came from the Great Wilderness Region, or it is possible that the original cultivators of Qingling Region broke through this level!

The specific reason is unknown.

In such a grand occasion, the power of Lingyun Sect has become stronger and stronger, and the number of foundation building elders has increased a lot.

Of course, all this is due to the fact that Lingyun Sect's way of recruiting disciples is not too rigid.

In addition to the Ascension Conference, some elders can also travel outside. If they accept disciples they like, they can bring them back to the sect.

If the qualifications are excellent enough, they can even become inner disciples directly and enjoy extremely generous treatment. In such a situation, the elder will also receive a certain contribution point reward.

If one's aptitude is ordinary, then he can only stay in the outer sect and slowly accumulate contributions. He may not have no chance to be promoted to an inner sect disciple in the future.

In addition, some immortal cultivation families with close relations with Lingyun Sect also have the opportunity to recommend their disciples to join the sect!

However, this is naturally conditional. If you want to recommend disciples to join the sect, either they have excellent aptitude, at least two spiritual roots, or they have other outstanding qualities, such as being proficient in alchemy and other immortal cultivation skills.

Finally, there is the Ascension Order!

As the top immortal sect in Qingling Domain, Li Qing naturally did not forget how he joined Lingyun Sect.

Every great elder in the Jindan period of the sect has three to five Ascension Orders, which can be awarded to anyone!

With an Ascension Order, you can unconditionally join Lingyun Sect, and be directly promoted to an inner sect disciple, and you can also get a foundation-building pill!

However, the sect's several Jindan-stage great elders rarely leave their caves, including Li Qing, who has basically spent the past few years in his own caves.

And there is basically no chance of granting the Ascension Order.

Therefore, the Ascension Order of Lingyun Sect is only a rumor in the Qingling Domain's cultivation world, but no one really has the opportunity to obtain it, and it has become an illusory legend.

As the sect gradually grows, Li Qing also begins to secretly investigate some elders and disciples in the sect.

He is preparing for the selection of the head of Lingyun Sect in the future. It is impossible for such a large sect to always fall on him as the head.

"For a qualified leader, the requirements for talent and cultivation are not high. The most important thing is the character and the way of dealing with people."

"Poor qualifications and low cultivation can be compensated by elixirs. A foundation-building period can be used as a leader."

"I vaguely remember that the original leader Xuyun's qualifications seemed to be only three spiritual roots. Later, with his contribution to the sect, he got a lot of elixirs and cultivated to the false elixir stage."

Li Qing set a set of standards in his heart, and also had several candidates for the leader.

After that, he planned to secretly investigate these people and make a decision based on the situation.

Of course, Lingyun Sect was not his one-man show. He also told Wu Chong and others about the selection of the sect leader.

As expected, these supreme elders were obsessed with their own cultivation and did not want to get involved too much. Everything was left to Li Qing to decide.

"Alas, these guys really don't care about the sect at all!" Li Qing sighed.

"But it's good this way. After choosing the leader, I can be more relaxed in the future. This way, I can focus more on cultivation and strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage!"

He has four candidates in mind for the leader of the sect, including three elders in the Foundation Establishment stage and an inner disciple who has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage!

The reason why this inner disciple in the Qi Refining stage is also included in the investigation is naturally because this disciple has his own special features.

This person is called Xu Xia, and he joined the Lingyun Sect at the first Ascension Conference.

However, his qualifications are average. He only became an outer disciple when he first entered the sect. Later, he accumulated contributions for two years before becoming an inner disciple.

These resumes are mediocre and there is nothing worth noting.

But the real reason why Li Qing noticed him was that he had sent disciples from the sect to help the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce rebuild the Wanbao Building, and this person was among them.

That time, Xu Xia showed his outstanding organizational skills and overall view, and even several elders who accompanied him were not as good as him.

Later, Xu Xia finally accumulated enough contributions to the sect and exchanged for a foundation-building pill from the sect!

But things did not go as planned. Xu Xia, who was ordinary in talent, failed to successfully build a foundation with only one foundation-building pill. His cultivation only increased from the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage and then completely stagnated.

However, this person did not remain depressed for too long. It took only a short time to adjust and continue to actively do the big and small tasks of the sect to accumulate enough contributions in order to exchange for the second foundation-building pill!

"Xu Xia."

"This person needs to be carefully examined. His character, character, and loyalty to the sect all need to be carefully observed."

"On the contrary, the other three foreign affairs elders in the foundation-building stage are relatively mediocre and have nothing particularly outstanding."

"If Xu Xia fails my test, then I will choose from these three elders in the foundation-building stage!"

As he said this, Li Qing closed his eyes and thought about how to examine these people.
