The Second Sect Assembly Concludes Successfully

"From today onwards, we will set a threshold for accepting disciples: those who have reached the Golden Core Stage in cultivation, or those who have achieved a second-grade ranking in any cultivation technique after being assessed by the sect, will be eligible to accept disciples."

The reason he set the threshold for cultivation skills at the second rank was because one of the sect's tasks was to cultivate specialized talents, which required that the skill level be at least the first rank.

Currently, only Liu Chun, Sun Yigao, and Liao Pantu meet this condition in the entire sect.

Liu Chun is rated as a fourth-grade talisman master.

Besides alchemy, Liao Pantu's other skills are all at the third rank or above.

As for Sun Yigao, who had been taught by Senior Liao for more than a year, he had already been promoted to a second-grade Alchemist.

Considering Sun Yigao's learning speed and his current alchemy skills, Lin Xiao felt that setting the threshold for accepting disciples at the second rank would be appropriate for their sect.

If there are more talented people in the future and everyone's rank rises, then we can make further adjustments.

Finally, Lin Xiao concluded:

"So if you want to take on disciples in the future, you'd better improve your cultivation and abilities."

Thus, the second conference came to a successful conclusion.

One by one, the group left the sect's main hall, intending to work harder on their cultivation and skills.

Lin Xiao found Tietou, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Tietou, please don't mind me handing over the Law Enforcement Hall to Aunt Yang. Although you were in charge of patrol duties before, I was thinking of leaving the position of Hall Master of the Artifact Refining Hall to you, which is why I didn't let you take charge of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Upon hearing this, Tietou, his face beaming with fighting spirit, clenched his fist and said to him:

"I know everything about Brother Xiao! Besides, I'm good at patrolling, but it would be too much of a challenge for me to handle conflicts between disciples. Don't worry, I will definitely study weapon forging diligently and take over the Artifact Refining Hall as soon as possible!"

Liao Pantu, who was passing by, heard this and gave him a thumbs up, saying:

"Tietou has ambition! If you don't know anything, come to me and I'll guide you!"

After more than a year of getting to know each other, Liao Pantu has become much closer to the others, and now Liao Pantu even goes to the cultivation room to give lectures from time to time.

The morning after the Second Sect Conference concluded, Qin Jianghe had already inventoried the goods that needed to be transported to the capital and was ready to depart.

Lin Xiao, who was seeing him off, looked at his brother, who had matured into a man in just over a year, and felt both emotional and deeply moved.

Without the help of Jianghe and his brothers, even with the system, the process of establishing his own sect would have been much more difficult and lonely.

"Be careful on the road. Get everything settled quickly and come back soon. Our Finance Hall is waiting for you to take charge."

Qin Jianghe took the Storage Bag full of food from Jiang Youfu and smiled at him:

"Alright, it's been a long time since I've properly cultivated in the sect."

For more than a year, apart from the early days of the sect's establishment, he had rarely had the opportunity to engage in daily cultivation with everyone.

Looking back now, it seems like I've accomplished a lot this year, and my life has truly undergone a dramatic transformation compared to the past.

After bidding farewell to his relatives and brothers who came to see him off, he took the goods he was transporting, the identity tokens for the others, and the things that the sect members had prepared for him and the people in the capital, and set off on his journey again.

Things are much better now than before.

At least now, if anything happens to them, even if they are far apart, they can contact each other immediately through the Sound Transmission Talisman, instead of having to rely on slow human messengers.

In the past two days, the private school at the foot of the mountain has begun preparations for expanding its enrollment after the expansion was completed.

Because the imperial examinations for this year have not yet ended, most of the learned people have not yet come for interviews, but are preparing for the exams.

It would be good to be a teacher at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, but a person with a firm will would not easily give up the imperial examinations that they have persisted in for many years and the official career they yearn for.

Most of those who came for the interview were either students who had no hope of passing the imperial examinations or scholars who had made little progress.

As for the rank of Juren (举人), apart from Juren Pei, there were no other ranks.

Because next year is the year of the major test, which takes place every three years.

The year of the major examinations is the year when scholars take the provincial examination, those who have passed the provincial examination take the imperial examination, and those who have passed the imperial examination take the metropolitan examination.

Everyone is preparing for the moment when they've honed their skills for ten years and successfully leap over the dragon gate.

Because there are only three teachers at present, the private school will not enroll too many students at once, even though it will start enrolling students soon.

In order not to lower the quality of teaching, Sun Yigao finally decided to temporarily double the number of students, based on the number of teachers.

Once we recruit new teachers, we'll see how things go before increasing the number of students admitted.

Since the library was completed, Sun Yigao donated many of his books to it, and he would spend his free time reading there every day.

He not only read them, but also selected some interesting content, including some mental techniques and various insights, intending to compile them into a miscellaneous book to be placed in the private school for students to read in their spare time.

After all, although these things are from different schools of thought, they also have commonalities and can all provoke thought.

The students at the private school were initially unhappy because the addition of two new teachers reduced Mr. Sun's class schedule, and they saw Mr. Sun less often.

But recently they discovered that the number of books in the small library within the private school was increasing every day.

Moreover, many of the bizarre and fantastical elements in it are quite interesting, and some of the moral themes are very thought-provoking.

Gradually, they forgot the sadness of not being able to spend every day with Mr. Sun. Sun, and began to spend every day in the library, often staying at the private school for more than an hour after school before going home.

Yang Jinshu never expected that the position of the Law Enforcement Hall would fall to her. Although she had a general understanding of these matters because Liu Yunan had handled various affairs of the sect, she was still somewhat at a loss when she was suddenly asked to take over the Law Enforcement Hall and arrange patrols.

Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't stump her.

Although she had lived in Xiushui Village as a village woman for many years, she had been carefully raised by her parents at home.

For women from prominent families, the most important thing is naturally the ability to manage the household.

Don't underestimate this ability; in today's large families, the management skills that housewives need to learn are truly impressive.

After a brief period of confusion due to being new to the Law Enforcement Hall, Yang Jinshu quickly got to work.

Arranging patrols, observing the daily behavior of the people, and formulating various sect regulations according to the sect's requirements, etc.

She quickly brought the Law Enforcement Hall to a state of perfect order.

As a result, she looked completely different from usual; when her face was expressionless, she exuded a certain authority.
