Chapter 141: Don’t take what you want, bad guests are coming [Subscribe]

Flying Stone Peak.

After seeing Zhou Chun off, Zhou Daoquan felt very complicated.

He also knew that Zhou Chun was courageous, brave and resourceful.

But I didn’t expect Zhou Chun to be so courageous!

Whether it was choosing to practice the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" which no one had dared to practice for more than two hundred years, or wanting to make major reforms to the family's power structure shortly after becoming the deputy patriarch.

These are things that ordinary people dare not do, or even think about.

"It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. It seems that in some things, young people are more determined and motivated than us old guys!"

He muttered to himself, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He wanted to see whether the changes Zhou Chun talked about could be as good as he said.

I also want to see whether Zhou Chun can become the second Zhou family cultivator in a thousand years to successfully practice the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art".

On the other hand, after obtaining the support of the third elder Zhou Daoquan, Zhou Chun took his plan to meet the returning fourth elder Zhou Jiarui to seek his support.

But the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui was not as bold as Zhou Daoquan in expressing his opinion. He just said that he would act according to circumstances when the time came.

As for the fifth elder Zhou Jiahe, there is no need to say much. He received great help from Zhou Chun when he was building his foundation, so he naturally supports Zhou Chun's reform plan.

In addition to these elders, the second elder Zhou Chongshan was also the focus of Zhou Chun's persuasion.

This highly respected elder of the Zhou family is de facto the second best in the Zhou family, no matter in terms of his personal seniority and cultivation, or his identity as the strongest formation master of the Zhou family.

If he could convince him, his reform plan would not be a problem.

Not long after, he appeared on Zhenxuan Peak where the second elder was, and showed his plan to the other party.

After the other party had read the plan for a while, he observed his expression and estimated that the other party should have finished reading, so he said first: "Junior knows that you, Second Elder, hope that the Zhou family can develop stably, just like the formation can only play its best role when it is running stably."

"But the art of formations also has the concept of change. A formation that cannot be changed is just a dead formation. No matter how high its rank is or how powerful it is, it can be easily broken by someone finding a flaw!"

"If you regard the family as a formation, you should also know that if the formation master can stably control the formation, and then take advantage of the situation, follow the trend, and make various favorable changes, then the power and mystery of the formation can be better exerted!"

In his previous life, Zhou Chun also worked in sales for a period of time and knew a little about how to persuade others.

And catering to someone's preferences is undoubtedly a very good way.

Zhou Chongshan, the second elder of the Zhou family, is conservative in character. Apart from formations, he is not very interested in other things and has never even contracted a monster.

So before he came to persuade the other party, he did some homework and read some annotations of formation masters on the art of formation.

At this time, I am also learning and applying the two situations of stability and change in the art of formation to family management.

In the hope that the other party will understand your painstaking efforts and agree to support you.

After listening to his words, Zhou Chongshan raised his head slightly, looked at him deeply and said, "But how can you be sure that the changes you are going to make now will definitely benefit the family?"

“Although I am not very smart, I can see that many of the reform measures you have taken are just playing with people’s hearts.”

"But people's hearts are fickle. Today they may be motivated by your actions and work hard for the family and themselves, but in the future they may give up on themselves and even betray the family because of being criticized!"

At this point, his tone changed again, and he said in a heavy tone: "And the most important point is that our Xiuxian family values ​​unity the most, and one of the major reasons for the unity of the clan members is that everyone has the same blood, and the relationship between each other is naturally close, and it is easy to help each other. The high-level cultivators in the clan will not easily bully the low-level cultivators!"

"If we use the incentive system and elimination system you mentioned above, it can certainly stimulate the potential of some members and gain more elite and core members with stronger cultivation for the family, but it will also hurt the feelings of some backward members, so that they will completely lose their sense of belonging to the family and destroy the unity of the family!"

"Have you considered this serious consequence?"

By the end of his speech, his tone was full of strong questioning.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly and he fell silent.

In fact, most of Zhou Chun’s reform plan was based on the company structure and national structure of his previous life. Some rules and regulations were directly copied or slightly modified.

Because countless companies and countries in the past have been operating with this architecture, which shows that it is indeed a very effective thing.

This was also the reason why he was so confident that he could use this reform to improve the overall strength of the Zhou family and make the Zhou family even stronger.

But now, after hearing what Zhou Chongshan said, he suddenly realized that sometimes a reform system that seems to be good for the collective may not actually be that good.

It may even be digging up the collective roots!
Just as Zhou Chongshan said, the Zhou family is a family of immortal cultivators. The natural closeness brought about by the same blood relationship makes the family cultivators naturally more united and reliable than the sect cultivators.

If a person betrays his sect for the sake of profit, half of the ten unrelated monks may despise his behavior.

But if a person betrays his parents, children and other family members for the sake of profit, I am afraid that nine out of ten irrelevant monks will spit on him!

If a man can betray even his blood relatives, what else can he not betray?

If the Zhou family uses Zhou Chun's current reform plan, they may be able to greatly enhance the family's strength, but it will also inevitably divide the feelings between the cultivators, create obstacles between the strong and the weak, and prevent them from being as close as before.

If this continues, even if the family becomes stronger, the originally large family may become countless small families, and everyone will only be close to a few of their true blood relatives and take care of them.

If the family encounters a major crisis, it is almost impossible to get these small families to unite and face the crisis together!

At that time, the Zhou family was in name only!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun broke out in a cold sweat.

He exchanged a glance with Zhou Chongshan, sweating profusely, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Second Elder is right. It was me who made a mistake and was not thoughtful enough!"

Then he paused, raised his head with a firm expression and said, "I will go back and redo the reform plan. We will make a new reform plan centered around family unity to ensure that the new reform plan is truly beneficial to the family as a whole and to everyone in the family!"

"Then you go back first. I also want to see how much you can come up with!"

Zhou Chongshan waved his hand and said without comment.

At this time, Zhou Chun was too embarrassed to say anything big.

He immediately took back the plan and returned to Pagoda Peak in dejection.

Unexpectedly, not long after returning to Pagoda Peak, he was called over by the clan leader Zhou Daoyi. When the two met at Zhou Daoyi's residence, Zhou Daoyi looked at him and smiled faintly, "How was it, you got scolded by the second elder, right?"

"How do you know, Patriarch?"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Daoyi in astonishment, wondering how he knew what had happened to him.

But he quickly came to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yes, even the Second Elder can see it, how can you not see it!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Daoyi with a puzzled look and asked, "Then why didn't you mention this to me before?"

After he finished his reform plan, the first thing he showed it to was the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

At that time, Zhou Daoyi also said that he would do his best to help him promote family reform.

Now that I think about it, Zhou Daoyi's words at that time also had hidden meaning!
Facing his question, Zhou Daoyi smiled calmly and said, "Because I also want to see how much status you have in the hearts of the elders, and I also want to see how much opinion the elders have on the family reform."

At this point, he looked deeply at Zhou Chun and said, "Even if the Second Elder doesn't scold you, when you finally come to me, I will wake you up. It's impossible to really implement the reform according to your plan."

"I see. I'm glad to learn from you!"

Zhou Chun nodded with a bitter heart, feeling a little hurt.

Everything had gone smoothly for him before and he had never suffered such a blow before, so it was naturally difficult for him to feel good.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Zhou Daoyi consoled him with words: "In fact, I and the elders all know your good intentions. I have also been considering reforming the family."

"It's just that there are so many people in the family, and everyone has different demands and abilities. It's really difficult to reconcile and balance how to meet their demands and develop their abilities without destroying their sense of belonging to the family."

"If you really want to reform the family, then spend more time and effort to carefully understand the thoughts of each family monk and understand where their bottom line is."

At this point, he said leisurely: "Remember, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We cultivators have plenty of time, and the family is not at the point where it will perish if we don't reform!"

After hearing his words of comfort, Zhou Chun did feel better.

I also know that I was indeed a little too hasty before.

He then replied calmly, "I understand. I will definitely keep in mind what the clan leader said today and continue to work hard on reforms!"

"Well, you'll understand."

Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly, and then let him leave.

After that, Zhou Chun really stopped talking about any reforms, and just concentrated on practicing secret techniques and handling family affairs.

By the way, as the clan leader Zhou Daoyi instructed, we will investigate each clan member one by one to understand their demands for the family and the bottom line of reforms they can bear.

About half a year after Zhou Chun took over as deputy clan leader, the two magical instruments that could collect and contain gold energy that he had ordered from the market town were delivered.

Both of these magic weapons are in the shape of vases. The gold energy collected by each weapon is enough for him to replenish four "Xin Jin Sword Qi".

According to his estimation, the total amount of gold energy needed to practice the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" to cast the tripod would probably need to fill ten such treasure bottles!

However, storing gold energy does not necessarily require this kind of special magical tool.

The collected gold energy can be stored in some man-made secret rooms first, and then restrained by formations to prevent it from dissipating.

As long as it is not stored for a long time, the rate of natural diffusion will be very slow and almost negligible.

Therefore, two such special magical weapons are enough for Zhou Chun's needs.

And he paid as much as 1,800 spirit coins for this!
After the magic weapon was in place, Zhou Chun offered a high reward and asked the family monks to help him collect gold energy in the form of a task.

The news was even passed on to several families including the Wang family, the Sun family, and the He family, so that the cultivators in these families could also come and receive this task.

Of course, if cultivators from other families besides the Zhou family want to take on a mission, they must first obtain a letter of guarantee from the patriarch of their family.

Otherwise, Zhou Chun would really have to worry about someone stealing his magic weapon.

Although it is rare to ask monks from friendly families to accept tasks, it is not uncommon. This is usually done when something is urgently needed.

The Zhou family had helped other families find things before, and it was purely a mutually beneficial thing.

It was at this time that good news came from the Yunzhou battlefield.

After receiving reinforcements from other forces in Jingguo, the forces of the Hualong Sect that invaded Yunzhou suffered a total defeat. Many of them were destroyed, and even two of their protectors were surrounded and killed!
After seeing Jingguo's determination and strength, the Hualong Sect seemed to be afraid and withdrew its main forces.

Now, only a few members of the Hualong Sect are still lurking in Yunzhou, looking for opportunities to cause damage.

After the various forces in Jingguo achieved such a great victory, they seemed to have no intention of continuing the pursuit, but only established several large gathering places for cultivators in Yunzhou as garrisons.

From an overall perspective, the Hualong Sect undoubtedly lost this battle, and lost completely.

But they also partially achieved their strategic goals.

Not only did he single-handedly cause the various factions of Jingguo to unite against him, he also tested the current relationships between the various factions of Jingguo, and he also swept away thousands of cultivators and millions of mortals in Yunzhou!
After this battle, the name of the Hualong Sect spread again in Jingguo. After hundreds of years of ban on various sects, it was now in name only.

In addition, no one knows whether this disturbance in Jingguo was just an early test by the Hualong Sect.

Whether the Hualong Sect will launch more fierce offensive actions in the future, even the Yuanying stage ancestors of the various sects in Jingguo are probably not sure.

As the Yunzhou war temporarily ended, the various immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou, which had been in panic for more than a year, also completely relaxed their controls, allowing everything to return to the state it was in when the Yunzhou war just broke out.

On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Jiapeng and another cultivator of the "Jia" generation who had obtained the Spirit-Upgrading Fruit also took this opportunity to begin their retreat and build their foundation.

But just when the Zhou family, like other families, was completely lifted from the ban because the war in Yunzhou came to an end.

An uninvited guest arrived outside Jiufengling.

"Jiufengling Zhou Family, this is it!"

In a forest outside the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, a heroic and beautiful woman in red was seen looking up at the Zhou Family Mountain Gate in the distance.
