Chapter 766: Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Directions of Development

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The discussion revolving around sect celebrations eventually came to an end.

An Lin and the others finally started discussing development plans relating to the other areas of the sect.

“There are four key areas that we need to focus on regarding the development of our sect’s power—resources, cultivation methods, mystic realms, and talented disciples.” An Lin glanced at the people around the table. “Half of us still need to return to the Heavenly Court to study. Are there any thoughts on how our sect should develop in the next two to three years?”

“We don’t need to worry about cultivation methods at the moment,” Xu Xiaolan said. “The cultivation methods that we possess are wide-ranging in type and are also of the highest purity and deepest profoundness. We’re unparalleled in the Kingdom of the Nine States in this regard.”

“Bar for the Heavenly Court,” Lin Junjun added.

Xu Xiaolan shot a sideways glance at Lin Junjun.

Lin Junjun smiled indifferently and tilted her head upward. Her slender and pale neck was like that of a proud and haughty white swan.

An Lin rolled his eyes. He felt like a traitor had appeared in his sect.

“As for the mystic realms, we can only leave it up to luck,” Xuanyuan Cheng said. “There’s no need to be in a rush. So, that only leaves us with two areas to work with—resources and talented disciples.”

“Anything that can aid in the growth of one’s cultivation base can be viewed as a resource—spirit stones, pills and elixirs, materials and items, and so on. There are also some types of foods and peculiar matters that can increase one’s cultivation base. Our sect can try to search for these types of resources,” Bai Ling also voiced her opinion.

“We’re a bit short on human resources, don’t you think?” Liu Qianhuan was a bit troubled about their lack of disciples. “Especially regarding the mining of spirit stones. We need huge amounts of human power to search and fight for them. This is just my opinion as a bludger…”

An Lin looked toward the others and said, “No worries, our sect doesn’t need to focus on developing rapidly. We can worry about obtaining resources later. Don’t forget our original intentions for founding this sect; this is merely a place for us friends to chat and relax. Don’t get too hung up on sect development and growth! Take it easy and don’t tire yourselves out.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and the hints of smiles returned to their faces.

They didn’t despise An Lin for suddenly encouraging them to not act responsibly. Rather, they felt that this was what they had envisioned their sect to be like.

After being stunned for a moment, even Lin Junjun had a glimmer in her eyes as she looked at An Lin.

Liu Qianhuan’s eyes lit up. “Could it be… that you want to forge a ‘Buddhist-style’1 sect?”

“What do you mean by ‘Buddhist-style’ sect?” An Lin was a bit confused.

“You know, the type that just parties every day. When fate dictates, the sect will naturally develop and grow stronger!” Liu Qianhuan giggled as she spoke.

An Lin: “…”

Everyone: “…”

An Lin’s expression became dark. “Sister Liu, are you misunderstanding something about the term ‘Buddhist-style’?”

“A sect that parties every day sounds like heaps of fun!” Xu Xiaolan had a look of anticipation.

“I also think it sounds great!” It was as though Tang Ximen had found a like-minded friend.

“But such a sect will be almost impossible to maintain. How will we run the sect? Where will the money for food and entertainment come from?” Xuanyuan Cheng felt that this was an unrealistic idea.

“We’ll just hold a few more celebrations or ceremonies!” Liu Qianhuan answered without hesitation.

“That makes a lot of sense. This is the fastest way to make money,” Su Qianyun agreed in her mellow voice.

Xu Xiaolan nodded. “I agree!”

An Lin also wore a smile on his face. “Great idea!”

Just like that, they reverted back to talking about holding celebrations and ceremonies.

Lin Junjun was in shock as she gazed at the fellow higher-ups before her. They had only just started a normal discussion regarding the development of the sect, and yet after a mere few minutes, the topic of discussion had completely veered off the path again!

Fortunately, Bai Ling eventually pointed out that the main focus for the future was still their cultivation.

They couldn’t slack off regarding cultivation, meaning the sect couldn’t focus purely on fun and games. Their sect also required development in other areas, as this would be essential for them to acquire the necessary cultivation resources.

This remark managed to forcefully steer the discussion back on track.

Lin Junjun glanced at Bai Ling gratefully. Thank god, there was still a reliable big sister in this sect. Otherwise, this sect really would soar toward an unimaginable direction!

An Lin clapped his hands together and said, “The prerequisite to obtaining material resources is having enough human resources. These human resources include outstanding cultivation teachers as well as outstanding disciples. Next, I’ll confirm the teaching candidates. After the break ends, who is willing to stay at the Four Nine Immortal Sect?”

Liu Qianhuan, Xin Zhu, Bai Ling, Xiao Chou, White Scale Wolf God, and Xiao Ze raised their hands.

An Lin looked toward the White Scale Wolf God in surprise. “Little Lang, don’t you need to teach Little Tian on how to break through to the Heaven Creation Stage1?”

“I’ve taught him everything there is to be taught,” White Scale Wolf God replied. “It’s all up to his own understanding of this knowledge now. Master, I want to fight and conquest land for you!”

Xue Zhantian flapped his exquisite, snowy-white wings and said confidently, “Rest assured, Master. I, Xue Zhantian, am a supremely talented individual. Lately, I’ve attained all kinds of enlightenment. I’m just a step away from reaching the Heaven Creation Stage. I definitely won’t disappoint you!”

An Lin nodded. “How about this. We’ll start recruiting disciples for Liu Qianhuan’s Sword Pavilion, Bai Ling’s Purple Star Pavilion, White Scale Wolf God’s Man Pavilion, and Little Xiao’s Dragon Pavilion. You guys can determine how many disciples to recruit. I suggest that you only recruit elite talents as core disciples. Normal disciples are just coolies, and I suggest you accept more of such disciples!”

The threshold to enter the sect as a normal disciple was low, and such disciples were usually unfortunate c*nts who had to roam far and wide in search of cultivation resources.

Core disciples, on the other hand, were valuable and integral members of the sect. Both their natural talents and dispositions had to pass stringent tests and trials before they could be accepted.

Bai Ling volunteered to design the trials.

She was especially fond of designing tests and trials!

An Lin, Da Bai, Miao Tian, and the others all shuddered involuntarily upon recalling the terrifying nature of the various trials in the Purple Star Ruins. A feeling of sympathy for the future core disciple candidates welled up in their hearts.

An Lin let the others decide how to accept disciples, and they finally formed a plan regarding this matter as well.

Eventually, they started talking about how to obtain resources again.

An Lin thought of the thirty million spirit stones and suddenly asked, “How should we spend these thirty million spirit stones?”

“How about we give our sect an ‘ordinary makeover’?” Liu Qianhuan and Su Qianyun said in unison.

The two adorable celestial maidens exchanged an understanding smile.

Perhaps it was most girls’ dreams to live in a more beautiful place.

An Lin also wanted to give his sect a thirty-million-spirit-stone “ordinary makeover”.

Think about it, he’d call the Grandmaster Construction Cultivator back after just a few days. After that, he would chuck a massive thirty million spirit stones in her face and say, “Don’t you f*cking leave! Hurry up and give my sect an ordinary job!”

Tsk… That would be such an amazing feeling.

However, An Lin couldn’t make this decision on his own, and he had to ask for the other’s opinions.

For important matters such as this, they needed to cast votes to reach a decision.

Then, he found that Xuanyuan Cheng, Tang Ximen, Xiao Chou, and many others all thought that the spirit stones would be better spent on expanding the sect. They believed that renovating the sect could wait till later.

The sect had only just been established, thus this thirty million spirit stones was extremely important for growth and development.

There was a dispute, and reaching a resolution would be simple—casting votes!

In the end, over sixty percent of the higher-ups supported using these spirit stones for the running and development of the sect.

M-hm, the “ordinary makeover” suggestion was disappointingly defeated.

This meeting regarding the development of the sect lasted for a long time, yet it wasn’t drab or boring. Rather, it was boisterous and lively. They were all schoolmates and friends, so they could talk about whatever they wanted in an unrestrained manner.

The bludger sect leader, An Lin, didn’t give a toss either and let them say whatever they wanted to. Thus, they were all extremely enthusiastic and passionate as they debated over the various topics. It was as though they were constructing a new home; one that they were all part of.

In the end, they reached decisions on a few important matters.

The finances of the sect would be managed by Da Bai and Xiao Ze. Because Da Bai needed to continue following An Lin, Xiao Ze was temporarily in charge of all the sect finances.

Members of the Dragon Tribe were naturally talented in the management of treasures and finances, so An Lin felt at ease leaving it all to Xiao Ze.

The Sword Pavilion, Purple Star Pavilion, Man Pavilion, and Dragon Pavilion also started recruiting disciples.

The Purple Star’s Phoenix Research Institute was classified as the first mystic realm of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. Bai Ling would modify this mystic realm to have it become more suitable for cultivation and training.

The business of maintaining world peace officially launched into action!

At the same time, the Mystical Department and Divine Mirror Enforcement Department were also officially established.
