Soon, the news from the Black Sect spread to all the branches of Yin Ming School.
The appearance of the Quiet Stream Faction meant that Hall Master Kan Ming had already begun to prepare for his death.
As the last disciple of Hall Master Kan Ming, Ji Feichen's status rose accordingly.
Hearing this, Luo Qingyi immediately went to find Zheng Qiong.
Zheng Qiong was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and her aura was faint. She was cultivating in the Nether Insight Secret Realm, one of the eight great secret realms.
Luo Qingyi walked over and was prepared to use the Curse of Misfortune that he had just learned from the Heaven's Heart Demon Sect to test Zheng Qiong. Suddenly, when she came into contact with Zheng Qiong's gaze, she was terrified by the devilish aura within Zheng Qiong's eyes, and she was extremely astounded in her heart. I heard Eldest Senior Brother is cultivating in the outside world. Looks like he's already comprehended the Five Qi Unification?
How could it be so fast! Even if he was a successor of a Holy Land, it was impossible for him to cultivate so quickly! But thinking of Qing Hong, Luo Qingyi smiled bitterly.
With that monster, Qing Hong, in front of them, so what if the others were faster?
Zheng Qiong sat on an ice platform, her entire body was like a skeleton, without any signs of life. He sensed what Luo Qingyi was thinking and said, "The Primordial Path technique focuses on improving. I only improved a little. If I don't enter the Earth Realm, I won't be able to live forever." Clearly, Zheng Qiong was not calm about the news of Qing Hong becoming a Ground Fairies.
"Junior Sister, why are you looking for me?"
"Eldest Senior Brother, have you heard the news from the Black Faction?"
"You mean we have two more martial uncles?"
"A Junior Brother has become a Martial Uncle. Are you going to tolerate that, Senior Brother?" Luo Qingyi's relationship with Ji Feichen wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't that bad either. However, Ji Feichen had suddenly risen by a generation, and Luo Qingyi felt a knot in her heart.
"In the Primordial Dao, strength is everything. Seniority is nothing. If you could reach Earth Realm, would he dare to put on airs in front of you? "
"I'm just afraid that the Grand Elder will favor him too much and give him the position of Hall Master directly."
"That's impossible. He became a final disciple today. How could he do it so quickly?"
"It's precisely because she's his last disciple that it's possible. Youngest son, youngest son. Didn't those old people in the mortal world love their youngest son the most? I heard that the reason Martial Granduncle accepted two disciples today is to prepare a successor, and he wants to choose one of the two to inherit Kan Ming Hall. "
"You're getting more and more ridiculous. That's the Lord of the Quiet Stream we're talking about! Do you know how powerful the Quiet Stream is?"
The Immortal Dao had never given up on infiltrating the Demonic Sect, sending spies in to gather information. Naturally, the Demonic Sect had similar methods against the Immortal Dao. Moreover, the Demonic Sect had even more tricks up their sleeves. For example, they could take out evidence of some Immortal Dao disciples secretly colluding with the Demonic Sect to threaten them, or they could directly force them to consume toxic pills to threaten their lives. Youxi was an organization that Hall Master Kan Ming had spent thousands of years to establish. It specialized in infiltrating the Immortal Dao Sects and dividing the Immortal Dao Sects from within in an attempt to influence the rule of the three palaces.
"If I really have to choose one of them as my successor, then I'll have to choose one of them. What right did Ji Feichen have to fight the Lord of the Quiet Stream? How many people did Ji Feichen have? He hasn't taken in any disciples, and he doesn't even have a trusted aide in the Nine Yin Mountain, right? "
"Moreover, neither of them seem to cultivate the Profound Underworld Black Demon Book, so there's no way they can inherit the position of Hall Master. I remember a few years ago, Martial Granduncle once revealed that the position of Hall Master would definitely be passed on to a disciple. Whoever can cultivate the Profound Underworld Black Demon Book to the Earth Realm will be qualified to take over. "
"Back then, he only said that to tempt those Martial Uncles to advance quickly. It might not be the truth."
Zheng Qiong shook her head. "The five branches have joint attacks. If the next Black Vein Hall Master doesn't cultivate the Profound Underworld Heart Sutra, how can he cooperate with the other four branches? Even if Hall Master Kan Ming allows it, the other Hall Masters won't let anyone take over. " At this point, Zheng Qiong sighed. "Right now, Martial Granduncle's method is only to slowly hand over his own forces and transfer the forces he has hidden in the dark to others. Ji Feichen, that guy, came at the right time. "
As an elder, he could already recruit second-class subsidiary forces. And Hall Master Kan Ming had many subsidiary forces under his control. When the time came, as long as Ji Feichen could take over some of them, he would have a firm say in the Black Vein.
…
After returning to his cave abode, Ji Feichen thought about his future actions.
The eighteen elders of the Black Vein each had their own duties. Hei Chi was in charge of external communications. In his previous life, it was commonly known as the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs".
After thinking for a long time, Ji Feichen contacted Hei Chi and asked the previous elder of Foreign Affairs to be his adviser.
Hei Chi was cultivating in the Black Anemone Continent. He smiled. "So I'm leaving my job to you? That's good, I can help you. "
Thus, he took a stance and pointed out to Ji Feichen. "Generally speaking, diplomacy is in charge of two aspects. One is the subsidiary forces of the Black Vein. The other is to deal with the conflicts with other sects. At most, you will visit some of the secluded cultivators of the Essence Path to make friends. I believe that before long, someone will send you the corresponding information. Also, I have the corresponding things in the secret room of my palace. You can take a look first. "
After a while, a boy brought over a Qiankun Bag. Other than the resources and annual salary distributed by the elders, the bag also contained all kinds of information about diplomacy. The list of subsidiary forces, the strategic policies between the sects, and so on.
Ji Feichen compared the information in Hei Chi's secret room and gradually understood the true operation of the Yin Ming School.
"Only after becoming an elder did I understand how complicated the operation of the Yin Ming School is."
In the past, Ji Feichen was like a normal disciple, doing things according to the rules and acting like a hired thug. The sect assigned tasks to him, and he would complete them himself and receive rewards from the sect. It was just like playing games in his previous life.
However, how could a truly powerful sect be so simple?
There were people in charge of training talents, transporting resources, and interacting with the various forces.
"It seems like it's similar to the underground forces in my previous life."
The branches of the Yin Ming School were relatively free. The Black Vein had four first-class, twenty-eight second-class, and three hundred and fifty-six third-class.
Hei Chi watched as Ji Feichen flipped through the information and explained, "Ever since the rise of the Mystic Gate and the suppression of the Origin Dao Sect, only the ten great clans have remained standing. The other cultivation orthodoxies can't do much on their own. They can only rely on the ten great clans to survive. These subsidiary forces listen to our orders, and we're responsible for protecting them. Sometimes, we'll even give them material rewards to help them achieve breakthroughs. "
"But aren't there a lot of subsidiary forces?"
"I think the private forces of the elders are included. After all, we're in the middle of a killing tribulation. Tribulation Refinement Secret Arts nurture Human realm experts too quickly. Twenty to thirty years is enough to nurture the trashiest third-class force. "
There were two kinds of subsidiary forces: public and private. Public forces corresponded to the entire Black Vein and were officially subordinate forces of the Black Vein. They listened to the orders of the Kan Nether Hall and had to pay tribute to the Black Vein every year.
Ji Feichen rubbed his chin and came to a realization. "They're commonly known as protection fees?"
"Something like that. But private forces are only loyal to a certain elder. It is the private property of the Elders. Even if the Elders casually kill or execute them, outsiders will not be able to interfere. "
"Since private forces are so cruel, but there are still a lot of them, does that mean there's less tribute?"
"Not only is there less tribute, but the missions assigned aren't as dangerous as public forces. Plus, they have an elder to rely on, so they can ask for help in disputes with other subsidiary forces. Of course, I'm the one in charge. "
Diplomacy was in charge of these subsidiary forces. Blackpool's authority back then wasn't much inferior to Blackflow's.
"This is a good position to occupy. Those people have to come to me for arbitration when they fight among themselves. In order to curry favor with me, they send all kinds of materials and spirit medicines. Aren't you poor? If you stay in this position for a few years, you'll have endless money. "
Hearing this, Ji Feichen sized up the densely packed name list on the roster. He saw the public forces, Blackflow, Blackpool, and even the private forces under the names of the other elders.
At this time, Ji Feichen smiled wryly. "That's great. It's a pity that I, as a newly promoted elder, have the least forces among the eighteen elders." Thinking about it carefully, apart from the ambiguous fugitive Zhang Qingyu, he only had Tian Chengzi to use in Yin Ming School.
"That's not necessarily true. It's precisely because you don't have anyone under you that good things come to you. "
