Sweeping Reforms, the Demon Hunting Team!

The Elders' Hall is divided into three levels: stewards, stewards, and elders.

Depending on their responsibilities, they will receive additional pay, and there are corresponding annual tasks that need to be completed on time, including mobilizing clan members for the development of the Lineage...

The deacons are mid-level members of the clan, mainly responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the Lineage, and overseeing some ordinary disciples and low-level spirit slaves.

The chief steward is second only to the clan leader.

To share some of the clan leader's responsibilities and assist the clan leader in handling various issues...

This system consists of orders issued by the clan, commands executed by the chief steward, instructions implemented by the deacons, and ultimately completed by ordinary disciples and spirit slaves.

This facilitates communication between superiors and subordinates, and establishes entirely new operational rules...

The Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, on the other hand, is for clansmen at the True Martial Realm...

Their cultivation levels are generally low, so most of the things they can do are farming, cultivating medicinal herbs, and managing spirit slaves.

Based on this, clansmen can earn additional cultivation resources, which are directly managed by corresponding stewards, thereby improving efficiency...

The final Law Enforcement Hall, as its name suggests.

A department specifically tasked with disciplining members of the Qin Clan; after all, in a large family, there are all sorts of birds, even though the Qin Clan family has strict family rules...

But as the tribe grows larger, some sordid deeds inevitably emerge...

Furthermore, the Qin Clan valued the law and naturally despised those who broke it! Therefore, this hall was established to regulate the clan and uphold the Ming and Qing dynasty rules...

New regulations have been introduced.

Reactions were mixed, but overall, it made the Lineage more orderly. When Qin Xiao was in charge of family affairs, he was somewhat biased...

Those with good qualifications receive preferential treatment and resources, while those with poor qualifications are neglected and not given much attention, or are even left to fend for themselves...

When the Lineage is small, this is understandable...

But now, the Lineage has grown to several thousand people, spanning five generations. The first three generations were fine, with most members being related by blood, but by the fifth generation...

The relationships between people are not as close as in previous generations. Not to mention the fifth generation, even in the fourth generation, the relationships are relatively weak.

Therefore--

The clan governance of Qin Xiao in the past is gradually no longer suitable for the Qin Clan today...

With the rise of the Lineage, perhaps in another fifty or sixty years, the sixth and seventh generations of the Qin dynasty will emerge, and the number of family members will...

It will rise at an alarming rate!

thus--

This led to Qin Mingyi's reforms!

Everything is for the purpose of building a more prosperous, well-ordered Qin Clan, and perhaps in the future...

Perhaps the Qin Clan could establish its own independent race, separate from both humans and demons!

Just as the Ice and Snow Demon Race includes the Frost Spirit Demon Race and the Snow Wolf Demon Race, the Qin Clan may very well become a member of the Human Race in the future!

Thus, they are no longer bound by any group, seeking complete transcendence...

Inside the secondary hall of the Qin Wang Palace.

Having just finished dealing with clan affairs, Qin Mingyi began to plan the Lineage's various expenses. Currently, the clan was relatively stable, and the situation was acceptable...

But who would complain about having too few resources?

Over the years, the Qin Clan and its affiliated groups have been conserving their strength and resources, and in the last decade, they have accumulated a number of capable individuals...

The Qin Clan alone now has more than twenty cultivators at the Qi Condensation or above!

And that doesn't even include auxiliary combat forces like spirit beasts. Looking at the Qin Clan's numerous vassals, they truly have a large and powerful army...

Outstanding individuals are emerging in large numbers!

It's time to expand externally, but there's no rush...

First, slowly infiltrate various parts of the Eight Immortals Sea to understand the current situation, then you can take advantage of the chaos, absorb the essence of the sea, and nourish the foundation of the Qin Clan!

"The sea is vast and boundless, and its sea creatures number in the millions."

"Perhaps our clan should establish a Demon Hunting Team to hunt down sea monsters. Demons are treasures from head to toe; their flesh can be used to refine elixirs, their bones and organs to forge weapons, their skin and blood to create talismans, and their souls to refine grand formations!"

"It can both capture resources and hone future generations through life-or-death battles."

"We can also hunt demons while gathering intelligence on the Eight Immortals Sea, and even slowly infiltrate various factions—truly killing two birds with one stone!"

Thinking of this--

Qin Mingyi casually wrote down a list of personnel...

Qin Mingyi plans to heavily utilize the fourth-generation descendants of this Demon Hunting Team; it's time for these youngsters to fight for the Lineage!

The first batch was initially planned to consist of over one hundred people.

Qin Mingyuan led the team, with Qin Xin'an, Qin Xinmu, and Qin Xinzhou as the main force, and the rest were more than a hundred spirit slaves...

It also includes several fourth-generation disciples who are expected to break through to the Qi Condensation.

If the first batch yields good results, Qin Mingyi plans to significantly expand the Demon Hunting Team, uniting the four sects, seven families, and a host of affiliated forces to hunt demons together...

soon--

The Demon Hunting Team's idea was then communicated and implemented regarding this proposal...

Qin Xiao did not object; in fact, Qin Xiao was quite happy to support them. After all, they were unfamiliar with the area, and they couldn't possibly remain cowards forever...

Although the Shadow Secret Guard has gathered a lot of information over the years...

But since it was only a superficial understanding, I dared not delve too deeply, for fear that someone with ulterior motives would discover something amiss...

Now, it's time to enter the world!

Three months later--

Through the tireless efforts of the Artifact Refiner of the Hundred Refinements Sect, day and night, a brand new treasure ship for the open sea was finally forged...

This ship is significantly larger than the Spirit Boat!

It was nearly fifty feet long and over eight feet wide, its entire hull crafted from First-Tier spirit wood and materials, while its keel was made from a three-hundred-year-old, Second-Tier Upper Grade Ancient Wood...

The treasure ship was entirely black, with the Qin character carved in brilliant gold on both sides of the hull!

The treasure ship had no sails; instead, it used three sets of formations as its core, combined with weapon-refining techniques, to create a propulsion system...

Three core systems: power, defense, and attack!

Normally, simply injecting Spiritual Power into the core is enough to propel the treasure ship across the ocean; in emergencies, Spirit Stone can also be used to infuse it...

As long as one has sufficient Spiritual Power, one can quickly escape!

During the attack, twenty magical Law Artifact will rise from the decks on both sides of the treasure ship, capable of launching Law Technique by infusing them with True Essence...

In defense, it can release a thin film to resist attacks and also repel seawater, since it has no sails...

The treasure ship can even submerge and remain on the seabed for a short period of time!

So many weapon-refining techniques are thanks to the Third-Tier weapon-refining Dharma Sect bestowed by the Da Zhou Imperial Family, which have made the weapon-refining methods of the Hundred Refinements Sect...

It's a whole step up!

The first treasure ship for the open sea was named Beichuan by the Qin Clan!

It's a way of keeping something as a memento.

As the Beichuan slowly sailed away from Qin Emperor Island, a black figure quietly followed, keeping a distance behind the Beichuan...

Above the sea cliffs--

A solitary figure stood there, watching the Beichuan depart, his dark brown Daoist robe billowing in the sea breeze...

Her long, black hair, tied back, gave her an ethereal, otherworldly appearance!

"Fifth Brother really does have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"Even Black Dragon was sent out to escort Mingyuan, what's going on?"

Is Fifth Brother worried about Mingyuan?

Upon hearing this—

Qin Zhao didn't even turn his head; just from that irritating voice, he knew it was his sixth brother, Qin Zhuang...

"Hehe..."

"Sixth Brother, you're mistaken. If the journey is safe and sound, that would be best..."

"Sending Black Dragon to secretly accompany and protect them is one thing, but what if they encounter an irreversible crisis, even one that endangers the Lineage..."

"Then the Black Dragon will not hesitate to kill everyone on the treasure ship!"

"Sever all ties, to prevent any possibility of our clan's information being leaked..."

"In the face of the Lineage's safety, everything can be sacrificed, everything can be yielded, including my son Mingyuan..."
