Dispute

In the two weeks following the Lineage Meeting, there were extremely frequent Yang Household Member.

The younger generation is beginning to emerge, while the older generation of clansmen are gradually stepping down and making way for more capable individuals.

At the same time, the Lineage's departmental structure gradually became more refined, most notably with the splitting of the Hundred Crafts Pavilion into the Pill Hall, Formation Hall, Artifact Hall, Talisman Hall, and Spirit Cuisine Hall.

Although Yang Tianyun broke through to the Foundation Establishment and did not immediately become a Tier 2 Alchemist, the position of head of the Lineage's Pill Hall still fell to her.

Yang Tianshi was different. Because he was obsessed with Formations and kept a low profile for many years, his Formation formations had unknowingly reached the Tier 2 level.

As soon as he broke through to the Foundation Establishment, Yang Tianshi was able to set up a Tier 2 Formation.

Moreover, according to Yang Tianyou, this Tenth Brother seemed to have the idea of completely switching to Formation Cultivator. He spent the past few days in the Scripture Repository, consulting relevant classics.

If his Lineage hadn't sent him out on a mission, Yang Tianshi probably could have stayed in the Scripture Repository for a year.

Besides the Pill Hall and the Formation Hall, the head of the Lineage's Artifact Hall is also the Fifth Granduncle Yang Dangmo, who is Second-Tier Middle-Grade Artifact Refining Master and is fully qualified.

However, this means that Yang Dangmo now oversees two departments: the Scripture Repository and the Artifact Hall, giving him significantly more authority than the other elders.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. At the moment, the Yang Household was short of manpower, and the head of a hall could not be appointed at will. So Yang Dangmo, who was senior and highly skilled, could only take on the role temporarily, and the position would be adjusted later when a suitable candidate was found.

Fortunately, Yang Tiankang successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment; otherwise, Yang Dangmo would probably still have to take on the position of Lord of Wolf Pool, which would likely have drawn criticism from the clansmen.

Finally, regarding the Talisman Hall and the Spirit Cuisine Hall, Yang Tianyou will concurrently serve as the hall master for the former, while the latter currently does not have a suitable hall master candidate, but has only appointed a deputy hall master, who is none other than Yang Tianyou's mother, Duan Hongyu.

Duan Hongyu is First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Cuisine chef, and her culinary skills are very famous throughout the Yang Household.

Before Spirit Cuisine Hall was established, Duan Hongyu was the manager of the Purple Moon Town Restaurant. She was already a senior employee, so no one objected to her becoming the deputy head of the hall.

In addition to these five main halls, the Yang Household's caravan was also officially renamed the Commerce Hall, with Yang Tianxue serving as the hall master and Yang Tianjiu serving as the deputy hall master.

Moreover, the Lineage has decided that once Yang Tianjiu successfully breaks through to the Foundation Establishment, he will officially become the Commerce Hall, since no one in the Lineage can match his business acumen.

In addition, the Lineage Attendant Hall has been officially established, and the current head of the hall is Yang Dangkai, the head of the family.

Although the latter lacked strength, his status as the head of the Yang Household family was enough to keep the situation under control.

Moreover, with Yang Tianyou occasionally showing up to intimidate them, the fifty newly recruited Rogue Cultivators were relatively well-behaved.

Because of the large number of people in the Attendant Hall, its internal divisions are more detailed.

After discussion, the elders of the Yang Household divided the Attendant Hall into inner and outer halls, and clearly distinguished the salaries and benefits between them.

The Inner Hall's enshrined members come from the Yang Household's former affiliated Lineage. These are all cultivators who are well-known and have been loyal to the Yang Household for many years, making them very reliable.

The outer hall's attendants are these fifty newly recruited cultivators. Although they have all undergone the test of the Heart-Questioning Grand Formation, their true worth will depend on their future performance.

If they perform well, they can be promoted from being enshrined in the outer hall to being enshrined in the Inner Hall.

The reason for dividing the hall into inner and outer sections is naturally to differentiate between them and to motivate the monks in the Attendant Hall to work diligently.

Taking Early Qi Refining cultivator as an example, the Yang Household stipulates that the Early Qi Refining salary for the Inner Hall is 9 Spirit Stones.

The annual salary of a member of the Yang Household Five Spirit Roots is only 12 Spirit Stones, which is almost the same as the other two.

Compared to the Inner Hall, the salaries offered in the outer hall are naturally reduced significantly. The annual salary for a cultivator in the Early Qi Refining is 5 Spirit Stones, which is a full 4 stones less.

In addition, the Contribution Points reward for completing the Attendant Hall tasks are more for those offering in the Inner Hall than for those offering in the outer hall.

Once you have the Contribution Points, the cultivation resources that can be exchanged for by offering them in the Inner Hall are far superior to those in the outer hall. Whether it is in terms of quantity, variety, or quality, the two are not on the same level.

It is conceivable that after these regulations are promulgated, the enthusiasm of the fifty outer hall attendants will be mobilized to the greatest extent, striving to complete the tasks assigned by the Yang Household and try to enter the Inner Hall as soon as possible.

The restructuring of the basic departments undoubtedly improved the efficiency of the Yang Household's operations significantly, and the entire Lineage exuded a vibrant energy.

Three days after Yang Tiankang took over as the master of Wolf Pool, a Tier 2 Flying Boat flew out from Purple Moon Mountain and headed straight for Bianhe Mountain.

Bianhe Mountain is characterized by its towering peaks and steep cliffs, where rows of pine trees stand proudly, unyielding against the strong winds.

After the Zhao Household was destroyed, this Heroic Peaks, which possessed a Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein and multiple mineral veins, was occupied by people sent by the Yang Household and Liu Household.

Currently, Yang Tianshi from the Yang Household and Liu Linghui from the Liu Household are guarding this place.

The former came here to set up Formation, while the latter came to manage the Spirit Veins and cultivate Spirit Fields.

Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein is of extraordinary value, capable of cultivating hundreds of acres of Spirit Fields. Whether planting spirit medicine or Spirit Grains, the annual income from Spirit Stones is extremely considerable.

There's a saying among established Foundation Establishment Lineage: "Spirit Veins and Spirit Fields are the true economic foundation of Lineage!"

Compared to other sources of income, the income from Spirit Veins and Spirit Fields is extremely stable and inexhaustible, which is undoubtedly the foundation for Lineage that value inheritance.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Yang Household and Liu Household to give up Bianhe Mountain.

However, self-interest can be a powerful motivator.

Despite the deterrent presence of the two Foundation Establishment Lineage, it was still difficult to quell the covetousness of other Lineage.

Under the leadership of the Li Household of Qingyun Town and the Sun Household of Yunshui Town, the other Foundation Establishment Lineage under the Three Rivers Sect joined forces to threaten Bianhe Mountain.

Currently, the two sides, consisting of more than sixty cultivators and four Foundation Establishment, are facing off against each other across the Formation, neither willing to back down an inch.

"Daoist Friends and Daoist Friends, aren't your appetites a bit too much? Such a vast Bianhe Mountain, and you won't even leave us a single mineral vein? Isn't that going too far?"

The one who spoke was a tall, thin middle-aged man with a pale golden complexion and a cold smile on his face.

He is Li Yuanfeng from the Li Household of Qingyun Town, with Foundation Establishment Middle Stage level. He once killed a mid- Second-Tier Middle-Grade Demon Beast during the Cold Tide, so his strength is not weak.

"Li Daoist Friends is right. The Yang Household and Liu Household already occupy so much territory, it's not enough. I think we should give up half of this Bianhe Mountain to avoid a major conflict. It wouldn't look good if either of you got hurt!"

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Sun Household in Yunshui Town spoke loudly. He was a chubby middle-aged man with fair skin, an oily face, and a mustache, making him look like a fat rat.

Despite his comical appearance, none of the cultivators present underestimated him.

His name is Sun Jianying, a member of the Sun Household family in Yunshui Town. He is at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage and has already reached the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

He once fought a mid- Second-Tier Middle-Grade Demon Beast during Cold Tide. Although he was no match for it, he still managed to show his prowess.
