Appointments Decided
When we entered the Green Field Mystic Realm some time ago, Mother Qin and Tietou's Mother, who were originally at the Songyang County Escort Agency, both returned. After leaving the secret realm, they did not go back but stayed in the sect to cultivate with everyone.
After all, they had already explored most of Songyang County, and even knew roughly how many dog holes were in each alley.
Thus, apart from the disciples who had to stay outside, all the members of the Lingxian Sect who could return were currently within the sect.
The following day, Lingxian Sect convened its second sect conference.
At the meeting, Sect Master Lin Xiao first delivered a brief opening speech, which stirred everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation and announced the sect's development policy for the coming period.
Then, the formal appointment ceremony began.
The specific appointment process is omitted; the appointment content is as follows:
Finance Hall: Qin Jianghe, responsible for the receipt, expenditure, and safekeeping of all sect assets, as well as the sect's external business operations and the management of the Finance Hall staff;
General Affairs Hall: Liu Yunan, responsible for the daily cultivation management of sect disciples, the assignment of sect tasks, and the management of the staff of the General Affairs Hall;
Law Enforcement Hall: Yang Jinshu, responsible for supervising and managing the behavior of disciples, handling disputes and conflicts within the sect, punishing disciples who make mistakes, and arranging sect guards for patrols, etc. (In reality, due to the existence of the Heart-Questioning Road, the main responsibility of this Law Enforcement Hall is actually guarding and patrolling, and supervising disciples is only as a precaution).
Elder of Alchemy: Sun Yigao, in charge of all affairs, large and small, of the Alchemy Chamber;
Refining Elder: Currently vacant;
Elder of Talisman Making: Liu Chun, in charge of all affairs of the Talisman Making Room. Since he is currently not in the sect, his identity token is temporarily being held by the Finance Hall. Someone will be sent to the Immortal Cultivation Realm Trade Fair to bring him the sect's change of position and his identity token.
Array Elder: Mo Yuanjiao, in charge of all affairs of the Formation Hall, Mo Que is the steward of the Formation Hall;
Elder Spirit Cuisine: Jiang Youfu, in charge of all affairs, large and small, of the sect's kitchen and dining hall. The dishes for the restaurants and Lingxian Dining Seat at the foot of the mountain are obtained from the sect's kitchen by the Finance Hall.
Elder Lingtian: Old Master Lin, whose real name is Lin Quan, is responsible for managing all matters, large and small, including the cultivation arrangements of the spirit fields and the repair and management of spirit farming tools;
The head of the library is concurrently held by Sun Yigao;
Owner of the herb garden (i. e., manager of the Yaoguang Small World): Liao Pantu;
Animal Park Owner: Xiaoluan.
Regarding Xiaoluan becoming the owner of the animal park, the situation was actually as follows.
When it came to the final animal park, Lin Xiao didn't have any good candidates, and no one else volunteered.
Some people are already in positions of authority, while others have lower cultivation levels and are unsuitable for managing the beast park. Otherwise, what if the Demon Beast are of higher rank than the managers, and the managers are unexpectedly outmaneuvered?
At this moment, however, a very energetic wing was fluttering wildly in the crowd.
Everyone looked over and saw Xiaoluan Luan raising her chicken wing high, mimicking how others raise their hands when volunteering, and then jumping up and down in the crowd as if afraid Lin Xiao wouldn't see her.
"Hehehe! I'll do it! I'll manage those Demon Beast!"
Big Peach, standing to the side, didn't react much at first when she heard her master say that. It took her a while to realize that if her master went to manage the animal park, wouldn't he have no time to torture her?
So it immediately raised its excited, joyful, and expectant eyes and looked at Lin Xiao on the stage making the decision.
Although I felt that Xiaoluan was a bit unreliable, at least it never failed to complete the tasks I assigned it, and Xiaoluan's cultivation level was already the highest below the Foundation Establishment in the sect.
It still had more than half of the Silver Frost Python Demon's core left to devour, so advancing its cultivation level wouldn't be difficult.
Indeed, he is the best candidate for the zoo owner—oh no, the best candidate for the chicken.
Therefore, Lin Xiao nodded under Big Peach's expectant gaze.
With this, the candidates for all the current leadership positions in the Lingxian Sect have been finalized.
Next, everyone was given their respective identity tokens.
Once these matters are resolved, each department can then recruit the necessary subordinates themselves.
So everyone started the two-way recruitment process right there in the sect's main hall.
Some people in charge expressed interest, while others who were not yet in a position had departments they wanted to join. Everyone discussed the matter harmoniously.
After a flurry of activity, the arrangements for who would go to which department were finalized. Most of the elders went to report to Old Master Lin.
After all, they've farmed for most of their lives, so if they were to ask what they want to do now, farming would naturally be their top priority.
However, some people got tired of farming and wanted a change of pace, so they went to other departments.
There were also those who didn't want to farm but didn't know what they wanted to do. Seeing that some departments were too sparsely staffed and looked too desolate, they went to balance the number of people.
As for Fang Mancang, Fang Manliang, and Gu Yuxiao, who were far away in Songyang County and the capital, their current work outside was also under the jurisdiction of the Finance Hall, so they were directly transferred to Qin Jianghe's Finance Hall.
Thus, the initial management system of the Lingxian Sect was finally officially established.
Dozens of people were deployed to these departments, but it still wasn't enough.
Not to mention that many people are completely unfamiliar with the new positions they have taken on.
But none of that matters.
Before officially opening their doors to apprentices, they can have a period of time to learn and get started.
With everyone having finished their assigned tasks, the conference was drawing to a close.
Looking at the crowd below the stage, Lin Xiao began to speak:
"As everyone knows, our sect will soon be recruiting a large number of disciples. With new members joining, there will naturally be a need for mentors. Although the General Affairs Hall will be responsible for managing the daily cultivation of all new disciples, they don't have enough manpower and energy to teach them one by one. That's why we need seniors to guide them."
"Furthermore, as we cultivate and our cultivation level increases, our understanding of the cultivation method will diverge, perhaps developing in different directions, thus generating our own cultivation philosophies. These philosophies will be a valuable asset to our sect, and naturally, these assets need to be passed down."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youfu, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but think of his own "The Original Essence Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter".
He thought about it for a moment and realized that he also hoped to pass on the mental cultivation method that he had created. For example, he felt very happy every time he taught his only disciple Shengsheng, a little bit.
Sun Yigao also agreed with what Lin Xiao said.
For all things, inheritance is a very necessary and important thing.
Even the so-called instincts of animals are actually a form of inheritance.
On stage, Lin Xiao continued:
"Speaking of inheritance, the apprenticeship system is naturally unavoidable. Currently, the master-disciple hierarchy and cultivation levels within our sect are chaotic, but since we are all relatives and friends, these things are not important. However, this cannot continue in the future; we must regulate it."
