Chapter 276
276 The sect system
To Lu Qing, the activation of the sect’s subsystem was, to be honest, within reason but beyond his expectations.
Thinking about it carefully, this matter seemed to have happened very normally. But he had never thought about this before.
Of course, there was no doubt that this was a good thing. Through the sect system, Lu Qing could clearly see the various attributes of the Qingfeng sect. This would be very helpful for him to have a more accurate grasp of the sect’s situation.
For example, Lu Qing could now see the annual income and expenditure of the sect. However, when he opened the details, he found that there were many question marks.
To be honest, Lu Qing did not expect the sect to earn more than 700000 spirit stones a year.
With his help, the Lu family had only earned 30000 Yuan a year after so many years of development.
As expected, a large sect like the Qingfeng sect had a lot of assets and a deep foundation.
Fortunately, the Lu family did not choose to be too head-on with the sects. They even thought of a way to reverse the situation in the North barren forest. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with.
The real shortcut was to steal power and rise to power through a shell. Directly taking over the business was much more convenient than thinking of ways to conquer the country bit by bit.
In particular, the Qingfeng sect’s dominance over the Feiyun state had not been fundamentally shaken. Especially after the Lu family took over, the biggest threat to the internal division of the sect had disappeared without a trace.
Of course, the more money the sect earned, the more money it spent. After all, there were more than 20000 cultivators under his banner, many of whom were high-level cultivators. It would cost money to maintain their cultivation.
However, Lu Qing did not have to care too much about this. After all, the Qingfeng sect had existed for so many years. Its administrative system in all aspects was very mature. Lu Qing did not need to manage it. It was easy for things to go wrong if he made blind reforms.
After all, the most important thing for the Lu family right now was to ensure that Li Yanling could sit firmly on the position of the head of the Lu family without any accidents.
Lu Qing also noticed that this sect subsystem was much simpler than the ” clan rise system ” that he had used in the beginning.
He first tried to see if some of the family system’s functions could be shared in the sect system.
For example, after the training mode was activated, could he use every cultivator of the sect as an ‘eye’ and teleport them?
In the end, Yingying didn’t do it.
Then, he tried to randomly find a cheap and useless exchange option and randomly chose a cultivator from a sect, such as Liu Yueting, to see if he could exchange it for her.
In the end, a prompt popped up:
it has been detected that the identity of the exchange target is not a member of the Lu family. The karma required for the exchange has been doubled, but there is no guarantee that the effect will be perfectly utilized.
[ do you want to continue the exchange? ]
Of course, he chose No.
It’s too much of a loss. The price is doubled, and the effect can’t be guaranteed.
However, Lu Qing felt that he would not be able to take care of it even if he could exchange it normally.
The current population of cultivators in the Lu clan had already exceeded 300. With this amount, even if Lu Qing’s karma was gaining faster and faster, he would gradually be unable to take it anymore. It was impossible for him to take care of all the clan members.
He could not even take care of his own descendants in time. How would Lu Qing have the time to take care of the sect?
The Qingfeng sect’s sect leader was Li Yanling, not Lu Qing.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that there might be some things in the future that would be more effective in the sect. As for what they were, he had not thought about it clearly.
As for helping the cultivators of the sects, perhaps Lu Qing would make some of them in the future if he had something suitable? Of course, only very few people could enjoy such benefits. Not only was he talented, but he also had to be disdainful of the sect, or rather, loyal to the Lu clan. In that case, Lu Qing might help him.
For example, when a certain hardcore supporter of the Lu clan was about to make a breakthrough, Lu Qing could help him make a breakthrough or something.
However, after obtaining the sect’s subsystem, Lu Qing also realized that some of the functions of his main system had been strengthened.
For example, the map system.
The original map system could only display the situation in anling Prefecture. According to the system’s judgment, the Lu clan’s traditional territory was only the anling Prefecture.
However, now that the sect’s subsystem had been opened, the sect had almost covered the entire Feiyun state, both in name and in reality. In this way, the entire Feiyun state would be included in the system map.
Lu Qing opened the system map and took a look at it. He immediately noticed that something was different. The map could be colored now. The parts with a green base were the territories of the Lu family. The parts with a blue background were the territory of the sect.
The nature of the information would also be different. Lu Qing could see a lot of content in the Green family clan’s territory. In particular, some red dots would occasionally appear, which meant a threat. Even though there were very few things in the anling Prefecture that could pose a threat to the Lu clan, these so-called threats were actually small-scale Crusades.
This was normal. There would always be some problems in such a large area. For example, ghosts were causing trouble, something had become a demon or a spirit, or some rogue cultivators had committed crimes.
They were all trivial problems. As long as one had the heart, there was usually no need to send high-level cultivators. A few Qi refining cultivators would be enough to solve them easily. It was equivalent to giving Lu qingbai karma.
In reality, when he did not have many gains in the past, Lu Qing relied on these scattered Crusades to earn some karma every year.
The resource points that were controlled by the Lu family would also be clearly marked on the system map.
Lu Qing could even see small green dots moving on the map when the Lu clan’s cultivators were moving within the clan’s territory. However, he couldn’t know who a Green Dot represented. He had to ask or investigate.
But all in all, this map function was very powerful. In the event of an invasion, the map function of the system was a very powerful information tool.
However, it seemed like no one had the ability to fight all the way to anling Prefecture.
As for the blue map under the sect’s territory, the content that could be displayed was not as sufficient.
Only the dark blue resource points and some red threat points would be displayed. The movement of personnel would not be displayed at all.
However, it was still a pretty good function.
No matter what, the Lu family had almost taken control of the sect in the big picture. They had taken control of the Feiyun state through the sect.
As he looked at the sect system, Lu Qing easily noticed two lines of data:
[ territory: Feiyun state (62%)
[ the Lu clan’s influence on the Qingfeng sect: 43%?
In a sense, these two numbers represented the Lu family’s control over the Feiyun state.
As long as the sects could increase their control over the Feiyun state and the Lu family’s influence over the sects, it would be equivalent to increasing the Lu family’s influence over the entire Feiyun state.
In other words, the Qingfeng sect had now become a tool for the Lu clan to control the entire Feiyun state.
Lu Qing touched his chin and thought, ” then, can we assume that the Qingfeng sect has already become a vassal of our Lu clan? ”
Of course, this wasn’t rigorous.
The organizational structure of a sect was very different from that of a family. It could not be considered purely as a vassal.
However, Lu Qing would still think that Li Yanling’s long-term position as the sect leader would be something like this.
……
After the sect leader succession ceremony was over, Lu Qing deactivated the training mode and returned to Yuyan mountain to start his own cultivation.
In his opinion, the Lu clan would be training hard and developing their inner force for a long time. Furthermore, the Lu family should also use this time to increase their influence on the sects. They should also try to make the hai family lower their heads. While stabilizing the relationship between the two parties, they should also let the hai family recognize the fact that the Lu family had the final say in the Feiyun state.
Lu Qing felt that this should not be a big problem.
Hai Sande might not be a good leader, but he was very tactful.
Under the current circumstances, if he was determined to go against the Lu family in the Feiyun state, he would be seeking his own death.
He believed that he was able to understand the situation.
As long as hai Sande maintained a normal alliance with the Lu family, with the Lu family as the leader, the Lu family would not treat the hai family badly.
After all, hai Sande alone was worth recruiting.
Moreover, Qianqian didn’t need the Lu family to pay for it. She just needed to allocate some resources from the sect and distribute them to the hai family.
Other than the hai clan, which seemed to be a small hidden danger that was relatively easy to deal with at the moment, Lu Qing could not see any other danger for the time being.
He looked around and realized that there were no enemies in the Lu family or the Qingfeng sect.
Let’s not talk about the interior and just look at the exterior.
In the North, the three famous sects of the Xue state were still the Qingfeng sect’s vassals in name. To the East was the boundless ocean. There were indeed some sea tribes, but they had a serious lack of interest in going ashore. The human cultivators certainly wouldn’t occupy the ocean for no reason. To the South was Jin Zhou, which was the interior of the same country.
The only place that could be considered as a threat was the North barren forest in the West. However, after the battle in the North barren forest, the cultivators of the Feiyun state had plowed the entire eastern part of the North barren forest. The larger gathering places of the Jade demons had all been cleaned up.
And now, the battle in the North barren forest was almost over. The demon Emperor ‘Guo Li’ was nowhere to be seen. It was said that he had already felt that there was no hope of victory in the battle, so he fled with his trusted aides. Meanwhile, after eliminating the threat of the North barren forest, Great Jin also withdrew its troops from the North barren forest, leaving only a portion of its Garrison troops. They also requested to increase the development of the North barren forest in the surrounding provinces and counties.
The matter of demon Emperor Guo Li’s escape had originally made the Feiyun state a little nervous. They were afraid that Guo Li would take things too hard and come to the Feiyun state to make a scene. If that happened, they would be done for.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.” It was said that Guo Li had escaped to the country of Liang, which was South of Jin country.
The situation in Daliang was very different from that in Yan Jin. The humans and demons in Daliang lived together. They might not live in peace, but it was normal to see a demon opening a restaurant in a city in Daliang. It was even said that the royal family of Daliang country carried the blood of the Fox demon.
This was not worth mentioning.
All in all, the Lu family would have a longer time to develop since there were no external enemies.
And they needed it.
After the battle in the North barren forest, objectively speaking, although the Qingfeng sect had suffered heavy losses, those losses were completely acceptable when compared to the gains.
As for the Lu family, they had earned a lot!
However, it would take time for him to digest these battle gains and turn them into his own strength.
They had already digested it for ten years, but it still seemed to be insufficient.
If they had more time, the Lu family might have two or three more golden core cultivators.
After all, they had the best-grade demonic core.
In that case, he would just have to bury his head and develop well.
……
Half a month later, there was a letter from the South.
The messenger was li Chengzong.
In the first half of the letter, the Crown Prince of Great Yan had mentioned that Zhao Zhengdong and the others had been killed after their plan to escape was exposed, and that the Zhao clan of Yan city had blamed the Qingfeng sect.
In the letter, li Chengzong said that he had already warned the Zhao clan about this matter in the Imperial court, telling them not to randomly find trouble and interfere in the internal affairs of the sect.
This could be considered as doing the Qingfeng sect and the Lu clan a favor.
In fact, after the battle in the North barren forest, he had been communicating with the Lu family for the past ten years. He was very attentive and his intention to win them over was obvious.
However, the Qingfeng sect and the Lu clan had always been more polite in their responses to this. They did not appear to be too intimate, nor did they appear to be too distant.
Lu Qing had always felt that it was very dangerous to directly interfere with the succession of the throne in the central Dynasty with the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect. He also felt that he had to be very careful.
However, it was also necessary to maintain a certain level of contact with the central Dynasty.
For example, this time, without this Crown Prince, no one knew how long the Zhao family of Yan city would have been in a state of chaos. Even though they were basically just talking, it was still annoying if they talked too much.
The second half of the letter was an invitation to the Qingfeng sect:
the once-in-a-century opening of the Penglai Celestial Palace is coming soon. It’s estimated to be next year.
originally, the Qingfeng sect should only have two spots, but the Zhao clan made a mistake this time. I have discussed with my father and the Yunxiao sect envoy, and we have reduced the Zhao clan’s spot by one and given it to the Qingfeng sect.
“I think the Yunxiao sect’s invitation letter will be sent to the Feiyun state soon. Senior Lu, you can make some preparations in advance. I hope that the outstanding juniors of the Lu family will be able to make some gains in the Penglai Celestial Palace.”
“Junior li Chengzong pays his respects.”
