Chapter 246 Big Stick and Sweet Dates
While the two elders were setting up the courtyard, Wei Chenyin led Yunxi, the Wei family head, and the other elders back to the council hall.

"Ling Tao, although the Wei family's move to Haoran City was sudden, it is a good thing for the family. Kunyu City cannot compare with Haoran City. Not to mention cultivation resources, the cultivation environment is much better than that of Kunyu City."

The development of the family doesn't depend on any one person. No matter how successful Yunxi is, if the family members don't work hard, they can't help those who are less capable. Do you understand?

Wei Lingtao immediately cupped his hands and said:

“Ancestor Chenyin is right. This time, thanks to Yunxi, the Wei family has made a leap forward. The Wei family must seize this opportunity.”

Wei Chenyin was satisfied that the family head listened to her advice, but she was afraid that the family head would insist on his own way and just invite her back as a mascot, then there would be no point in her returning to the family.

Then she continued:
"I have always looked down on Wei Nanfeng's way of doing things. He only values ​​talent and does not care about the efforts and contributions of the family disciples. He only pours family resources into the family disciples with outstanding talents, but what is the result in the end?"

"Leaving aside myself, just look at Yun Xi and Yun Qing. Yun Xi is almost at the late Golden Core stage, nearly on par with me, her ancestor, while Yun Qing, with her dual spiritual roots, is still hovering around the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. This speaks volumes."

This time, Wei Lingtao did not refute, but nodded repeatedly. This was the truth. The two sisters entered the sect together, but now they were in completely different situations.

Yunxi not only loved the Wei family disciples, but also did her best to help them obtain cultivation resources, so that the Wei family disciples who entered the sect could cultivate at a fast pace, at least on par with ordinary disciples. Moreover, she sent cultivation resources to the family twice, which was evident to everyone.

On the other hand, Wei Yunqing, the junior whom the Nanfeng Patriarch valued, only returned to the family once after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. She even falsely accused Yunxi of stealing her cultivation resources, but she couldn't produce any evidence. The Nanfeng Patriarch protected her without asking any questions. In the end, if Yunxi hadn't been sensible and backed down, he, as the head of the family, wouldn't have known how to handle the situation.

The other elders present nodded in agreement; it was a fact that no one could refute.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, Wei Chenyin continued:

"For the sake of the family's development and to give Wei family disciples a fair chance to compete, the allocation of family cultivation resources will no longer be determined by aptitude. As long as one starts cultivating, the resources provided by the family will be the same, and the resource supply will be increased by one level for each breakthrough in cultivation."

During this period, the elders should put in a lot of effort to help each family disciple find the most suitable path for their cultivation, and then teach them according to their aptitude, so that they can transform their strengths into cultivation.

The Haoran Sect's position as the second largest sect in the western region is not without reason. It boasts numerous peaks and countless disciples, many of whom are proficient in alchemy, talismans, weapon crafting, and formations. Even my own Dharma Peak is teeming with hidden talents; there are no incompetent disciples, only incapable masters.

After Wei Chenyin finished speaking, she pushed a stack of jade slips in front of Wei Lingtao from a distance:

"These are clan rules that I have modified based on some of the sect's advancement and reward standards. Take a look at them first, and if there is anything that is not suitable, please point it out. After the modifications are made, the whole clan will be notified, and we will act in accordance with these rules from now on."

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. I believe you elders understand my good intentions."

Yunxi listened to Wei Chenyin's arrangement and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. This was exactly the kind of swift and decisive approach she wanted, completely ending the Wei family's rule under Wei Nanfeng.

The timing is also very important. The Wei family has just arrived in Haoran City and has not yet fully integrated into the city's cultivation families. They are still tentatively moving forward. This is the most suitable time to carry out the internal purge of the family, and some old stubborn people cannot seek help from outside.

During this time, Yunxi's divine sense swept over and found that the two elders who were dissatisfied with Wei Chenyin's handling of the corpse of Ancestor Nanfeng now looked even uglier, but they could only lower their eyes and dare not openly raise their questions.

Yunxi enjoyed seeing their resentful yet helpless expressions. In the mortal realm, there's a saying that a new emperor brings a new court, let alone the Wei family, which has even changed its patriarch. If they don't learn to adapt, they'll only end up being left behind.

Just then, the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder entered the council hall with a jade slip and storage equipment. They had already collected everything left behind by Ancestor Nanfeng and were now showing it to Ancestor Chenyin and the Clan Head. Wei Chenyin scanned it with her divine sense and handed the jade slip to Wei Lingtao, a playful smile on her face as she addressed the assembled elders:
"It seems that most of the Wei family's treasures are in Wei Nanfeng's possession. He is truly a competent patriarch."

Wei Lingtao, standing to the side, also looked rather grim. The entire family's treasury couldn't even compare to the patriarch's private stash. Just thinking about it made him feel aggrieved. Now, he was actually glad that Wei Nanfeng had died so suddenly, otherwise, who knows who would have benefited from such a huge amount of cultivation resources. Then, the name Wei Yunqing flashed through his mind. He quickly erased the name and handed the jade slip to the elder beside him.

The jade slip then circulated among the elders before returning to Wei Lingtao's hands. Everyone's expression was somewhat unpleasant, including the two who had previously harbored resentment towards Wei Chenyin.

During this time, Yunxi waved her hand and refused to look at the jade slip. She was not involved in the family management and was not interested in Wei Nanfeng's family wealth.

Wei Chenyin took in everyone's subtle expressions, took a sip of the spiritual tea in her cup, and then spoke:

"As I have said, everything Wei Nanfeng left behind will belong to the family. However, all of you elders have worked hard over the years, so please choose one thing that suits you as compensation. These will not be recorded in the family treasury."

Yunxi immediately understood that Wei Chenyin was using a combination of threats and incentives to silence everyone and get everyone on the same page.

Wei Lingtao immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Ling Tao is ashamed. On behalf of all the elders, I thank Ancestor Chenyin for his consideration."

Wei Chenyin waved his hand and said:

"You deserve this."

Because of this sweet date, the subsequent discussion went exceptionally smoothly, and the atmosphere was not as tense as before.

Afterwards, a disciple of the Wei family reported that the courtyard of Ancestor Chenyin had been arranged, and everyone ended their first meeting. Then, Yunxi and Wei Lingtao accompanied Wei Chenyin to the new courtyard.

The elders then surrounded the sixth and seventh brothers, naturally wanting to secure their share of the benefits first. With the three Golden Core cultivators absent, their conversation became more casual.

"Ancestor Chenyin is still the most generous."

"Of course, the Haoran Sect is the second largest sect in the western region. Even Ancestor Chenyin has advanced to the late Golden Core stage, so he wouldn't even look at such a paltry sum."

Someone boldly replied:
Why don't you all say that Wei Nanfeng is domineering and selfish?

"The person is already dead, so there's no point in saying more. Now it's Ancestor Chenyin's turn to make the decision, so we'll just do as he says."

"That's right, Sixth Elder. I want that Marrow Cleansing Pill; it'll be perfect for clearing the toxins from my body."

"Sixth Brother, I've got my eye on that jade ruyi."

This was the scene that Wei Yunqing saw when she entered the Wei family's council hall. She frowned and asked:
Where is Wei Yunxi?
