After receiving Sect Master's permission, Lin Yi did not hold back and continued:
“I believe that it is necessary to create a system of deposits so that each student, when doing work for Huashan, receives points - some kind of special currency, you might say, for outstanding deeds. Then set a price for the higher arts and when people get enough points they can buy them.”
“In this way, all students will gain access to the supreme arts of Huashan, but more importantly, they will gain hope. How else can you force people to do their best for Huashan? These people don’t care about money or comfort; they are disciples of our sect. The most important thing for them is higher techniques. So the contribution reward system will give them a chance.”
“But even if we don’t say that these people will try harder in the name of Huashan, how much stronger will the sect become when thousands, or even hundreds of thousands more disciples learn the higher techniques? I expect our strength to at least double!”
Lin Yi spoke in a charming tone, trying his best to describe the future in which Huashan would become the strongest sect. Of course, he caught the interest of the Sect Master, who had spent his entire life trying to make his legacy stronger. And now that the road to the future has been paved, how could he not experience the deepest feelings? Ouyang Ming even swallowed in anticipation.
But quite quickly he managed to suppress his emotions.
“I see,” he said calmly, neither accepting nor rejecting the offer..
Then he waved his hand.
Lin Yi was not surprised by this reaction and did not argue or object. On the contrary, he understood how difficult and risky this decision was..
The deposit system, if applied, will turn the entire lower and upper yard upside down. Now everything was not based on the spirit of a single goal and similar nonsense. It’s just that everyone knew that Mount Hua would send true disciples and deal with everyone if anyone dared to rebel.Therefore, the distribution of higher techniques may lead to branches declaring independence.
But if Ouyang Ming was not sure, then Lin Yi was not worried. He knew he could handle it. And he knew that he had to hurry. At such a time, you cannot blindly look for an island of stability; one strong person can become the frontier that will save Huashan from destruction.
If the Sect Master refuses him in all endeavors, then no matter how hard he tries, Huashan will surely suffer the same fate.
Changing the fate of a large sect is not easy. In fact, the entire future will change.
Could this be so simple??
But Lin Yi was ready for difficulties.
.˙.
Leaving the main palace, he walked out into the night so late that the path almost disappeared into the shadows. Lin Yi walked to the edge of the mountain peak and looked down into the impenetrable darkness..
“With me, Mount Hua will definitely come out of darkness into the light.”
Returning to his palace, he went to bed, and after lunch he decided to walk along the top. But I was a little surprised that wherever I went, I heard people talking about him..
“Hey, isn't this Elder Brother Lin??”
“But it's true! Damn, look how young he is!”
“Senior Brother Lin is simply something. The Hangzhou court under his leadership became the strongest branch of Huashan, he even killed a first-class expert!”
“Yeah, it's hard to even believe. He will definitely be in first place after evaluating the results. In my opinion, he is even stronger than Big Brother Linghu! I think he can defeat him and become the main disciple.”
“Haha, I think so too. I'm sure he has a great future ahead of him!”
“Your truth. If he could raise the Hangzhou Court from the bottom to the top, essentially making them a second Huashan, then with such abilities, how could Elder Brother Linghu compare with him?”
“Yeah, Senior Brother Linghu is very strong, but he is only good at martial arts and alcohol. To lead Huashan forward, other skills are needed. Let him be the strongest swordsman of the sect, but not its leader!”
“Yes, with his character, he will only care about his cohort. Then they will start doing whatever they want. We will be tortured to death.”
“And don't talk! For the sake of Huashan's future, we must do everything to ensure that Elder Brother Lin becomes the head disciple.!”
Here and there, groups of true disciples chatted among themselves, and they all said only good things about Ling Yi. In just one night, the mood changed and he gained the support of the entire mountain, not counting the Linghu Clan.
All praise to the Heavenly Sword God, and only disparagement for Linghu Feng.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. The Yu Clan has started to act and has already created a good momentum for it.
Linghu Feng's reputation was falling before his eyes, and his six brothers and sisters looked increasingly gloomy. The Six Heroes of Huashan could now be found by the thundercloud following them everywhere.
All their lives they relied on their roots and elder brother Linghu, but they had enough arrogance and a sense of self-importance, so the rest of the Huashan factions had a lot of complaints.
Almost everyone in the lower and upper courtyard trembled in fear when they heard the voices of the Six "Heroes" of Huashan.
Lin Yi shook his head. The success of the Yu clan's campaign largely depended on the incompetence and arrogance of the Six Heroes, so the team they made was only so-so.
It was they who insisted that Linghu Feng compete for the position of chief disciple, which he did not give up in vain, supposedly because he was the best suited for him. Is it possible to be so naive?
In a past life, they could sit and do nothing; Linghu Feng simply did not have any worthy contenders. But now there is Lin Yi.
A talent comparable to his, and at the same time the owner of leadership abilities surpassing everyone in Huashan.
Can six burdens stand against him alone??
.˙.
Three days later, the true disciples of Huashan, sent to all corners of the country, returned. Early in the morning, the bell rang in the central palace and everyone gathered in the main hall..
On a small dais at the back of the hall was the seat of the Sect Master, and to the right and left of him were thirteen chairs for the great elders of Huashan, in purple robes with golden lettering. Almost all of them were gray-haired, the youngest of them reached his fifth decade.
Even lower, they placed seats for twenty ordinary elders, the temples of each of them protruding, demonstrating powerful inner strength.
In the center of the hall, sitting in the lotus position, were almost three hundred true disciples in purple robes, all of them carefully watching the man in purple and gold robes in front of them..
Ouyang Ming stood up, took out a bundle of purple silk cloth, and opened it. It was embroidered with gold hieroglyphs, pressed tightly together.
The moment he remembered all the contents, the Sect Master looked at everyone present..
His eyes sparkled with the cold shine of a blade, everyone lowered their heads so as not to accidentally meet his sharp gaze.
Ouyang Ming nodded with satisfaction and said loudly:
“Now I will name the candidates who passed the first test for the title of chief disciple. First place: Lin Yi!”
Lin Yi immediately stood up from the crowd of true disciples, stepped forward, bowed to the Sect Master, then to the thirteen great elders, and then to all the other true disciples.
As soon as the great elders nodded, Lin Yi stood on the dais just below the Sect Master.
“Lin Yi, commanding the Hangzhou Court, captured forty-nine cities in the Hangzhou region, conquered Eagle Mountain, and, together with the three famous clans of the city, gained power over Hangzhou. These achievements are undeniable and incomparable, the first place is deserved by him.”
As soon as Ouyang Ming's majestic voice announced the results, everyone clapped loudly, but many were amazed at the success..
“Second place: Linghu Feng! Third place: Yu Zecheng!..”
Gradually, the names of all ten true disciples who managed to pass the first test were announced. Of the thirty-six, only ten advanced.
Ouyang Ming looked at everyone again and nodded with great pleasure.
“These ten people showed outstanding results and can be said to be the best of the Huashan youth. It would not be an exaggeration to call them examples and worthy idols of all the disciples of Mount Hua. Keep practicing martial arts and get stronger okay?”
“That’s right!” they answered in one voice.
With a wave of his hand, Ouyang Ming continued:
“In three days the second test will begin and the main disciple will be chosen!”
