Azure Cloud Sect Disciple Assignments
After the meeting, the Azure Cloud Seven Sons, Cang Song, and Gudoer left separately, while Zhang Yang, Situ Mingyue, Jiang Zhiqiu, and others returned to the villa to continue discussing the follow-up matters.
"Let's deal with the resource allocation issue first!" Zhang Yang glanced at Situ Mingyue, raised his hand to conjure a map of the area around the Azure Cloud Sect, and pointed to some marked areas, saying, "These places contain various minerals."
In the past, when our Azure Cloud Sect was short-handed, it was always others who dug for resources and shared the profits.
Now that we have enough manpower, there's no need to let others benefit from these mineral resources.
Besides mineral resources, some areas are also ideal for growing medicinal herbs.
These areas were all designated as medicinal herb gardens.
Of the sect's 100,000 disciples, those who have already Core Formation Realm are the geniuses we've discovered, and truly promising talents for cultivation.
As for the other disciples who are unable to the Core Formation Realm, we have already given them a chance.
Since they are unable to the Core Formation Realm, it means their potential has been largely exhausted.
Therefore, apart from a few disciples with special talents, the other disciples were gradually assigned to work in mines and herb gardens.
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!" Situ Mingyue nodded.
Since she could no longer enter the Prodigy Battlefield, these sect affairs had to be handled by her.
"For any other areas in Azure Cloud City that need manpower, select from this group of disciples!" Zhang Yang turned to Jiang Zhiqiu and instructed, "Also, any disciples with outstanding combat abilities can be recruited into the City Guard!"
Azure Cloud City needs its own armed forces.
"Understood!" Jiang Zhiqiu nodded emphatically.
As Azure Cloud City grew stronger, he was actually short-handed and had long since set his sights on his disciples.
He dared not interfere casually simply because the person was a disciple of a sect.
Now that we have the Eldest Senior Brother's permission, we still have over 70,000 people to choose from. This time, we can definitely replenish the manpower of Azure Cloud City.
"You're in charge of personnel coordination!" Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Changshan, Wang Baole, Liang Yi, and others. "Handle this matter in the shortest possible time, and then gradually hand over the power you have in your hands."
Your mission to lead them has come to a temporary end.
Because you have a much higher road ahead of you, and some of them are destined not to follow."
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!" Zhang Changshan and the others nodded in unison.
They've been leading that group for four or five years, some for as long as ten.
Now that they have to say goodbye to that group of people, they are actually a little reluctant to part with them.
However, they also knew very well that, just as their Eldest Senior Brother had said, some people were destined to be unable to continue their cultivation.
All of them were geniuses discovered from other continents. The Dao Integration Realm was just their starting point, and even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm might not be their end.
They have too many people; they cannot move forward.
After coordinating with various parties and making arrangements for the Azure Cloud Sect disciples who had not yet Core Formation Realm, Zhang Yang added, "Among these disciples, there may be some late bloomers who slipped through the net."
Regularly inspect the schools, and select all those who are particularly outstanding or whose talents are gradually becoming apparent.
The sect is desperately short of people!
"If we could have one more expert, even just one at the Primordial Spirit Realm, it would be a significant boost to the sect's strength."
You should know that some Primordial Spirit Realm are already the founders of second-rate sects!
How could these people possibly give up so easily?
Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that they would definitely send people to inspect various areas and discover talent in the future.
After resolving the talent issue, Zhang Yang looked at Situ Mingyue and asked, "How are the sales of the Azure Moon Merchant Association's goods? Mainly, how are the transactions with other continents going? Have they increased or decreased?"
"It's decreased!" Situ Mingyue shook her head with a helpless smile. "Of course, this decrease is relative to two or three years ago. Compared to five years ago, there has actually been a very small increase."
Zhang Yang chuckled helplessly, shaking his head and saying, "You can only do something like stealing chickens once. Now everyone's more vigilant, it won't be so easy to steal chickens again."
If those major sects still don't realize they've been robbed of hundreds of billions of Spirit Stone, they might as well just perish.
Once the major sects become wary, they naturally won't easily come to the Azure Moon Merchant Association to buy things.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I'm planning to expand the Azure Moon Merchant Association to other continents," Situ Mingyue said to Zhang Yang. "Actually, we should have started this three or four years ago, but the plan was halted."
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "That's feasible!"
At worst, we can just do business legitimately and make a profit from the price difference.
While it's not incredibly profitable, it's still profitable in the long run. However, we have a very bad relationship with some sects, so we need to be especially careful when they open the Azure Moon Merchant Association on their continent."
In places like the Myriad Spirits Continent, conflict could break out at any time.
"Therefore, the first continent I chose is Langya Continent!" Situ Mingyue said with a smile. "In addition, some of our disciples can work in these Azure Moon Merchant Association, which is also a good thing for them."
"Alright, you can arrange all of this! But don't leave Azure Cloud Continent easily; it's very unsafe for you," Zhang Yang reminded him.
Kong Xiuping had long coveted Situ Mingyue. If they went to the Langya Continent, that old rogue, the Sage Master, would probably use some means to keep Situ Mingyue.
In this way, the Azure Cloud Sect would suffer a huge loss.
Situ Mingyue felt her Eldest Senior Brother's concern and was overjoyed.
Even though the concern wasn't quite what it seemed, she was still happy.
"Don't worry, I'll have Uncle Qin do it!" Situ Mingyue replied with a smile.
Then, she looked at Jiang Zhiqiu and said, "I'll go take care of other things now. You two continue chatting."
She has already made her arrangements; what follows is no longer her concern.
Zhang Yang nodded, and after watching Situ Mingyue leave, he asked Jiang Zhiqiu in a deep voice, "How many gangs and organizations are there in Azure Cloud City right now?"
"There are so many!" Jiang Zhiqiu smiled wryly. "More than two hundred Primordial Spirit Realm are connected to these gangs and organizations."
I did a rough count, and there are about fifty clubs and organizations.
Some of them formed a group with four or five Primordial Spirit Realm, while others formed a group with two or three Primordial Spirit Realm. They then recruited a large number of the Nascent Soul Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators, and even more Foundation Establishment Realm.
Larger student organizations have over a thousand members, while smaller ones have forty or fifty.
The leaders of the organizations don't need to work at all; they can earn a lot of Spirit Stone simply by earning the difference in the price of the tasks.
Due to various interests among these organizations, Azure Cloud City is currently in a state of chaos.
Although they haven't caused any major trouble yet, if left to develop unchecked, a major upheaval will inevitably erupt sooner or later.
Zhang Yang frowned. It had actually reached this scale?
A malignant tumor has emerged; it's time for a crackdown!
