A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 127 - 110: Asset Inventory (Part 2)

Although the stories grew more and more exaggerated, they ultimately made the new disciples admire Lu Qian even more, so Jiang Qingfeng let them speak freely. Besides, such idle times wouldn’t last long. Once she finished organizing the storage and her junior brother announced the new regulations for Yunshan, they would officially begin their lives as Yunshan Disciples.

They spent the whole day breaking the sealing arrays on various buildings, checking the stored materials, and inspecting all functional facilities, from dawn until sunset. Finally, Jiang Qingfeng, clutching a Jade Scroll, stood before Lu Qian’s small courtyard alongside the exhausted Lin Le and Baitao.

Just as she was about to knock, the gate creaked open, and Lu Qian led a group of people out, comprising storytellers, teachers, and other mortal servants hired from the marketplace.

Lu Qian instructed, "Everyone worked hard. We’ve completed the most critical parts, so let’s take a night off. For the rest, follow my previous plans and proceed gradually. As long as you put in the effort, there’s no need to worry about rewards. Those who perform well may stay long-term on Bichao Mountain."

The mortals, unaccustomed to such courteous treatment, left the place anxiously, following other servants who led them to a place to rest.

After the crowd dispersed, Lu Qian noticed the three of them and felt pleased. He knew they must have completed the inventory check and said, smiling, "Senior Sister is here, please come in."

Jiang Qingfeng looked up and saw Lu Qian looking haggard, his eyes bloodshot, and his hair disheveled, causing her to chuckle softly.

She walked forward, reached out to tidy Lu Qian’s messy hair, and said gently, "Junior Brother, as the Sect Leader, you need to maintain your image. In the eyes of the new disciples, you’re akin to a true god or immortal. If they were to see you like this, they might be disillusioned."

Lu Qian laughed and said, "What does it matter? It’s just a facade. Senior Sister, your hair is also loose. We’re both unkempt, so we suit each other well."

Jiang Qingfeng suddenly felt a flutter in her heart. This playful remark made her blush a bright shade of red, looking even more charming under the glowing sunset.

She bit her lip gently and gave Lu Qian a playful look, her voice barely audible, "Rogue, who wants to suit you..."

The beauty, charming and shy, was irresistible, making Lu Qian swallow dryly, entranced by the sight.

Just then, a loud grumble was heard, and Lu Qian snapped back to reality, realizing that Jiang Baitao was holding her stomach and shouting, "Can you guys hurry up? I’m starving!"

Hearing this, Qingfeng’s face turned an even deeper shade of red as she quickly ducked past Lu Qian into the courtyard, leaving behind a fragrant breeze.

Lu Qian laughed heartily, "Alright, let’s eat and chat at the same time."

He ordered the servants to quickly prepare a meal, then led Lin Le and Baitao back into the courtyard.

Jiang Qingfeng entered first and was surprised by the objects in the reception room.

Inside the room were neat stacks of manuscripts, seven or eight piles high, with the fresh ink still fragrant. She picked one up and saw the title written in neat handwriting: "Three Hundred Years of Yunshan."

Another was titled "Heroic Stories of Yunshan Sect," then there was "Summary of the Yunshan Sect Rules," a "Song Version of the Yunshan Rules," and "Strive to be a ’Tri-Good’ Disciple," among others. One incomplete script was titled "The Secrets Behind Yunshan Sect’s Revival."

What were these?

Lu Qian’s voice suddenly rose, "These are some texts and reading materials I designed for the disciples’ ideological education. New disciples must receive cultural education from a young age, learn about Yunshan, and identify with Yunshan."

Jiang Qingfeng silently pondered these words, her beautiful eyes brightening. Very well, this way, the disciples would quickly integrate into the sect and firmly support our Yunshan Sect.

"But time is tight now. I just organized a team to start on the most crucial parts. There’s still much to do."

By now, servants had cleared a table, and food was gradually being brought in. Lu Qian invited everyone to sit and chat while eating.

At the dining table, Jiang Qingfeng summarized the process of inventory checking over the past few days, specifically praising Lin Le’s outstanding performance, making the young boy blush and nearly bury his head in his bowl.

Lu Qian nodded with a smile, "Xiaolin, your performance has been noted by all the elders, and everyone praises you highly. Is there any reward you would like?"

In the new system devised by Lu Qian, disciples’ monthly income comprised monthly allocations based on their level, resources exchanged with merit points, and rewards from teachers. However, the management tier including elders and stewards was different, receiving lucrative annual stipends directly.

The specific stipend was assessed and distributed by the Sect Leader, determined by the manager’s yearly performance. In the current Yunshan system, there are at most nine elders and eighteen stewards, reviewed annually, which is not a heavy workload for the Sect Leader.

So upon completing this task, he directly asked Lin Le what reward he wanted without asking Jiang Qingfeng.

Lin Le stood up excitedly, "The Sect Leader has been incredibly gracious to me. Yunshan Sect is like my home. I’m overjoyed to work for my family. What more reward do I need?"

Lu Qian laughed, "Your loyalty is commendable, but the rule is to reward and punish accordingly. I’ll gift you some spirit pills useful for cultivation. These Elixirs are rare, and with them, your cultivation won’t lag behind."

Lin Le responded cheerfully.

Baitao, seeing this, jumped up, also wanting a reward. Lu Qian playfully asked, "Senior Sister Qingfeng, has Taotao performed well?"

Jiang Qingfeng held back her laughter, "Not at all, just dragging us down, causing trouble, and making a mess. I think not only should there be no reward, but also a heavy punishment."

"Ah!" Jiang Baitao’s face turned bright red, waving a chicken wing, "Nasty senior brother, bad sister, always bullying me, I don’t want to get along with you anymore!"

After some playful banter, they finished the food. Lu Qian carefully took the Jade Scroll handed by Jiang Qingfeng, and with everyone watching expectantly, placed it against his forehead.

His Divine Sense swept through, and a flood of information poured in.

They had checked and inventoried all the assets currently owned by the Yunshan Sect, including all previous accumulations and those acquired from the recent fall of the Chaosheng Sect, consisting of the following materials.

In terms of fixed assets.

Outside the Mountain Gate, there was one shop in the first Workshop District of the Plum Blossom Marketplace and a twenty percent stake in a medium-sized marketplace named "Shazhou Square," as well as two large shops and five medium-sized shops within it. A ten percent stake in the "Spirit Wood Commerce Association."

Also, a long-term Sky Ray lease agreement with the large sect "Spirit Beast Sect," with rent paid, allowing the use of one Sky Ray for four weeks each year over a thirty-year lease, with eighteen years remaining.

At the foot of Bichao Mountain, there was a Bichao Town built entirely by the Chaosheng Sect, serving as a place to house and protect young Spirit Seeds. In special circumstances, if there were insufficient housing within the Mountain Gate, cultivators could be temporarily accommodated here.

Next to Bichao Town, there were one hundred acres of Spirit Field.

On Bichao Mountain, there were three Spirit Plant Districts, including five acres of Moonlight Phoenix Tree, eight acres of Frost Crystal Pine, and eleven acres of Purple Cloud Fir.

There was one Spirit Medicine Garden, totaling twenty acres of various spirit medicines.

One Alchemy Room, one Hidden Pill Pavilion, one Artifact Refining Workshop, and two Treasure Artifact Pavilions. Other functional buildings included the Arsenal, Treasure Pavilion, Transmission Tower, Guest Reception Pavilion, Guest Reception Tower, Council Hall, Banquet Hall, Martial Arts Arena, and Square, totaling fifteen buildings.

There were one hundred rooms for disciples, accommodating two hundred disciples. Twelve standalone houses and five courtyards with gardens.

Bichao Mountain possesses a Second-Level Mid-Tier Spirit Vein.

At the summit of Lotus Peak, there was housing for one hundred disciples, one Council Hall, three Storage Pavilions, one Square, and four courtyards. On the hillside of Lotus Peak, there was also housing for one hundred disciples.

Additionally, there was an empty Spirit Medicine Garden, covering ten acres, and thirty acres of Spirit Field.

Lotus Peak held a First-Level High-Tier Spirit Vein.
