If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 51 Qianzhou Situation, Daomen Order

Last year, Li Yanmo had learned about the situation of Qingshan Sect in Qianzhou through the mouth of female minister Fa, but Li Yanmo originally thought that Qingshan Sect would at most become deserted. After listening to Jiang Baili's popularization, Li Yanmo realized that the Qingshan Sect was facing a life-and-death crisis that might lead to the sect's direct bankruptcy.

Li Yanmo was really envious, but he was not so crazy as to bankrupt himself by bankrupting Qingshan Sect.

This is so unkind.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Baili, Li Yanmo returned to the wooden house. As soon as he opened the door to the yard, Li Yanmo saw Shen Ziqing and Liu Wuchang sitting among a pile of account books and reconciling the accounts.

When Shen Ziqing and Liu Wuchang saw Li Yanmo coming back, they immediately stood up and bowed, showing great respect.

Li Yanmo just waved his hand, and after a little hesitation, he decided to confront Liu Wuchang and talk about the current situation of Qingshan Sect.

Of course, Li Yanmo didn't want to start a war to blame him. On the contrary, Li Yanmo felt that this was a rare opportunity.

Qingshan Sect is a subsidiary sect of Taixu Sect. As the leader of Taixu Sect, how could Li Yanmo watch Qingshan Sect go bankrupt?
Throw money! Anyway, throw a few million first!

By then, it would be the Qingshan Sect that would be showing off. What would that have to do with his Taixu Sect? There was no way there would be any overflow of prestige experience.

"Sect Master Li... that old fellow Mei Chai Shao has already reached the Fusion Stage. It won't be a problem for him to intimidate the other sects in Qianzhou. As long as the news spreads, he will definitely have a lot of disciples this year."

Liu Wuchang scratched his face. Although he was surprised, he still answered Li Yanmo's concerns truthfully.

"...Sect Master Liu, we should always be prepared for any eventuality. Don't forget that the unknown cultivator escaped that night. The Dao Sect probably already knows that you helped Feng Shouyun."

"You are right to fight off the demon, but from the perspective of the Dao Sect, it is wrong. Perhaps they will intervene and test the Qingshan Sect."

Li Yanmo pinched his chin and thought for a while before continuing.

"Publicizing the fact that the Qingshan Sect's ancestor has broken through to the Fusion Stage can indeed alleviate the immediate crisis, but it also exposes the Qingshan Sect's confidence. If the Dao Sect sends a Fusion Stage expert to other sects to boost their image, the Qingshan Sect's advantage will be wiped out."

After hearing what Li Yanmo said, Liu Wuchang suddenly realized and stopped being relaxed.

"Master Li, what you said makes sense."

"So, I think we need to analyze the situation in Qianzhou."

Seeing that Liu Wuchang was paying attention to this money-burning project again, Li Yanmo was very satisfied.

He can help Qingshan Sect break the impasse and spend money, a win-win situation!

Liu Wuchang rubbed his temples, thought for a moment, then raised his hand and waved it. The spiritual energy rolled up the sand, soil, and leaves on the ground, forming a floating map of Qianzhou in front of everyone.

"Okay, looking at the entire Dayu Dynasty, although Qianzhou is not large, there are nearly a thousand sects of all sizes. Among them, there are three sects that covet Qingshan Sect's status in Qianzhou."

Under Liu Wuchang's manipulation, spiritual energy drove the sand and gravel to change, outlining the names of the three sects.

There is the Chongshan Sect in the north, the Five Poison Sect in the west, and the Bixue Sect in the south.

The Chongshan Sect was fine, but when Li Yanmo heard about the Five Poison Sect and the Blue Blood Sect, he couldn't help but frown.

"The names of these two sects don't sound like they belong to the righteous sects."

"Taoism also emphasizes the balance between good and evil. In order to prevent the breeding of evil spirits, it condones the existence of some sects that use extreme methods of cultivation, suppressing evil with evil. Of course, this does not mean that they will cause harm to others," Liu Wuchang explained.

"The Daoist sect concentrated the conflict between good and evil within its own sects. Sometimes, the Daoist sect would even plan its own wars. If one side suffered heavy losses, it would be replaced."

"Of course... the Dao Sect is also using this method to weaken the ruling power of the Dayu Dynasty, preventing it from intervening in the conflicts between sects under the pretext of suppressing the demonic sects. The conflicts between sects are then observed by the common people, subtly elevating the status of cultivators among the common people."

"Six hundred years ago, the Five Mountains Sect was the largest sect in Qianzhou. However, during the battle between good and evil orchestrated by the Dao Sect, a real fight broke out between the then Blood Desire Sect and both sides suffered heavy losses. Afterwards, the Blood Desire Sect was swallowed up by the Five Poisons and Green Blood Sects, while the Five Mountains Sect disappeared. This gave our Qingshan Sect the opportunity to take over the position of the largest sect."

"There's still quite some time before the next great battle between good and evil. If the Dao Sect intends to test the Qingshan Sect with force, they will most likely signal the Five Poisons and the Jade Blood Sects to take action, testing them in secret."

Shen Ziqing, who was standing to the side, stared at the map for a while before asking, "Sect Master Liu, what is the relationship between Chongshan Sect and Qingshan Sect?"

Liu Wuchang shook his head. "Have you ever seen the eldest and the second oldest get along well?"

Shen Ziqing held his forehead with his hand, "Is it the death of the crowd?"

Liu Wuchang was very embarrassed, and this was one of the reasons why they decided to cling to Li Yanmo and rely on the power of the Dayu Dynasty.

Li Yanmo thought for a moment and then analyzed it.

"When water comes, we must stop it; when soldiers come, we must block them with earth. Even though the Dao Sect is powerful, it still has to follow its own rules to suppress millions of sects. Moreover, the Dayu Dynasty is already angry about the incident in Risheng City. I don't think the Dao Sect is stupid enough to provoke the Dayu Dynasty for the sake of Qianzhou at this time."

"I think the Dao Sect will at most send a few emissaries. The real action will come from the Chongshan, Wudu, and Bixue sects. Their goal is probably to open the mountain gate and select disciples this time."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ziqing and Liu Wuchang both nodded.

"Sect Master Liu, please prepare for me a copy of the past process for selecting disciples, as well as the Daoist sect's examination criteria."

"I have it here, please take a look, Sect Master Li."

Seeing that Li Yanmo wanted to take charge of the disciple selection process, Liu Wuchang had no objection and was even quite happy. He turned around and took out an account book.

"This is the process and expenses of Qingshan Sect's opening of its mountain gate and selecting disciples over the past fifty years."

"Okay, you guys do your work first, and I'll see if there's anything I can improve on this account book."

After Li Yanmo took the account book, he sat on the wooden stake where he usually meditated and began to read it.

It has to be said that Liu Wuchang is indeed very capable as the sect leader. Even when the Qingshan Sect was declining, he was still able to pick out so many details and put on the biggest show with the least amount of money.

Although it is still impossible to change the predicament that there are fewer and fewer good talents in Qingshan Sect, we must be on guard against Liu Wuchang.

The Taoist examination standards are also attached. Compared with outstanding disciples, the Taoist sect pays more attention to the appeal of a sect to ordinary people. The more people come to the sect for selection, the higher the value in the eyes of the Taoist sect.

Thinking of the secret rivalry between Taoism and the Dayu Dynasty, Li Yanmo suddenly felt that this assessment standard was not strange.

The Taoist sect wants to bring down the Dayu Dynasty and return to the situation in the wilderness where the sects are the main ones. The best way is naturally to make the people obsessed with cultivating immortals.

To survive and continue, the sects within the Yu Dynasty would resort to any means necessary to attract the common people. The Daoist sect could easily undermine the foundation of the Yu Dynasty.

Li Yanmo touched the ring in his hand and tried hard to recall the various marketing methods used by merchants in his previous life to attract customers.

Celebrities, advertisements, soliciting on the street, sales promotions...

Li Yanmo recalled them one by one and screened them one by one.

The Qingshan Sect originally had a unique advantage, which was the Risheng City. However, due to the cause of the Xiangmo Venerable, a large number of people in the Risheng City chose to relocate, and this advantage has disappeared.

"Attraction...give others a reason to come..."

A flash of inspiration passed through Li Yanmo's forehead, bringing with it a brilliant, win-win idea.

"Sect Master Liu, when you held the selection in the past, did you entertain the young people at the foot of the mountain and their families?"

Liu Wuchang shook his head, "There has never been such a statement."

It's not just Liu Wuchang, the entire world of immortal cultivation has this idea. Their sect is just sitting there with its doors open and people are begging them to accept disciples, so why should they entertain those who come to them for begging?
What's more, most of those people are mortals. How can we use things from the world of immortal cultivation to entertain mortals?

It would be better to pour it all down the drain.

"Now I have it, Sect Master Liu - this year the opening hours of the mountain gate will be doubled to fourteen days. Go back and harvest the spiritual fruits from my spiritual fields to entertain everyone who comes to the mountain to become my disciple and their families. I must ensure that every one of them can have enough to eat."

"Ah!? Isn't this such a waste!"

Liu Wuchang was struck by lightning.

The spiritual field is a rare thing nurtured by heaven and earth, and its growth cycle is determined by heaven. The growth of the more than 800 acres of spiritual fields owned by Li Yanmo can only be described as amazing, but no one can guarantee that it will continue to grow at this rate in the future.

Those spiritual fruits are more valuable no matter how they are used than feeding them directly to mortals.

Doing this can certainly attract people, but it will not make any profit at all!
"It would be a real waste if Qingshan Sect were gone."

After hearing what Li Yanmo said, Liu Wuchang was stunned at first, but when he realized what was happening, his eyes immediately filled with tears. Li Yanmo wanted to save Qingshan Sect from the dire straits no matter what the cost!
If Mei Chai Shao had cared half as much as Li Yanmo did, Qingshan Sect would not have been in such a desperate situation.

"By the way, adjust the age to fifty."

"Huh?" Liu Wuchang was dumbfounded again, stammering, "Sect Master Li, this... just activating the formation will cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. I'm afraid it will cost half a million spirit stones in these fourteen days..."

Before Liu Wuchang could finish his words, Li Yanmo threw the storage bag that Mei Chai Shao had given him back to Liu Wuchang and spit out two words.

"Spend it all."

Liu Wuchang's hands were shaking.

Although these were the spirit stones he gave out personally, the meaning of these one million spirit stones has now changed.

Li Yanmo didn't say anything more to Liu Wuchang, but greeted Shen Ziqing.

"Second brother——"

"Master, I'm here," Shen Ziqing stood up immediately.

"Please talk to the governor He Feng and see if we can rent a guy with a very bad temper from the military camp."

Shen Ziqing immediately understood what Li Yanmo meant and smiled knowingly.

"I understand."

Li Yanmo appeared calm on the surface, but he was cheering in his heart.

It can not only prevent Qingshan Sect from going bankrupt, but also solve the spiritual fruit crisis.

Win twice in a row!

That night, a stream of light shot out from Zhongzhou and exploded right above Qianzhou, turning into four rays of light that fell in four directions, one of which hit the gate of Qingshan Sect.

The elders of Qingshan Sect appeared at the first moment. When the smoke cleared, a token with the word "Tao" written on it appeared in front of the elders.

This token is very precisely inlaid on the word "Zong" of Qingshan Sect.

The significance is self-evident.

The elders' faces turned pale and they clenched their fists tightly, but facing the behemoth of Taoism, they finally loosened their fists helplessly.

Mei Chai Shao arrived late, pulled out the token, and marveled at it.

"Even the Dao Sect's order has been used. It seems that the Dao Sect is very concerned."
