Letting people stay on Yujing Mountain for five days and then send them to Cloud Peak for five days. The difference in duration was more likely to stimulate these foundational disciples to move up.
Even if Lin Feng used a formation to gather the spiritual energy near the Kunlun Mountain Range and improved the environment here to a certain extent, compared to a super blessed land like Mount Yujing, there was still a huge difference.
It was a bit exaggerated to say that the difference was like heaven and earth, but after experiencing the abundant Spirit Qi on Yujing Mountain and going to Cloud Peak, the difference was huge.
Soon, the foundational disciples were like bulls that had seen a red cloth. All of them rubbed their palms together, waiting for the upcoming test to become a true disciple.
In the past few days, Lin Feng and his disciples were not idle. Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, and the others were all making their own preparations.
Just like the last time, the test was divided into two rounds. Lin Feng first went through a round of screening, and the disciples who passed had a chance to choose their own master. Then, Xiao Yan and the others had to choose their own disciples for a second round of individualized tests.
The difference was that the people who passed Lin Feng's test this time, if they were rejected by the master they chose, they would not be returned. Instead, Lin Feng would make the decision and randomly assign them to someone else.
Lin Feng was also making preparations, but it had nothing to do with the test. Instead, he was improving the hardware facilities of his own sect.
Although Cloud Mirror City was newly built and seemed desolate, some disciples had already taken the initiative to move their family members. Under the leadership of Dao Zhiqiang, through the space matrix between Cloud Mirror City and Sand Continent City, it had already begun to proceed in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Lin Feng had already instructed Dao Zhiqiang to select reliable people and expand the lineup of outer sect stewards, mainly to handle mundane chores and do logistical work.
Between Cloud Mirror City and Cloud Peak, there was a mirror lake. There was a ferry by the lake, and at the foot of Cloud Peak, Lin Feng had set up the mana restriction of the Purple Qi Stairs. This was the restriction outside West-Hill City to test people's hearts, and it served as the mountain gate.
Yujing Mountain would remain hidden in the void most of the time in the future. The Cloud Peak would be equivalent to Xuanmen Tianzong's front for the outside world.
There were also scattered disciples who came to learn from him, and they would all be transported over through the Sand Continent City's spirit formation, and then undergo the test of the Purple Qi Stairs. Those who could pass, and those with outstanding talent, would have the opportunity to become a foundation disciple.
Speaking of which, the Sand Continent City also needed a capable person to hold the fort. Cloud Mirror City and Cloud Peak City both needed someone to take care of them. This was really difficult for Dao Zhiqiang.
Fortunately, Dao Zhiqiang was indeed capable and experienced. After getting Lin Feng's approval, he had already started to make preparations. He had already found some useful talents and after a proper test, they were put to good use.
Lin Feng had moved mountains and created lakes, and built a city from flat ground. Admittedly, it was a big move and very impressive. But for his will and ideas to be turned into actual operations, he needed the ability of Dao Zhiqiang and his subordinates.
There were specializations in every field, and IQ was not the same as EQ. Having a high talent in Taoist techniques did not mean that one was capable of doing things. Lin Feng saw this very clearly, so he had made early preparations, and now they were all put to good use.
The foot of Yujing Mountain gradually went on the right track. On Yujing Mountain, Lin Feng himself began a new round of construction.
The first place to work was the Herb Valley. After being cultivated by the Tianji Spirit Soil, the herb fields in the Herb Valley were extremely fertile, and the effects of nurturing and breeding Spiritual Herbs were very good.
But Spiritual Herbs had different habits. After all, not all Spiritual Herbs were suitable for growing in the same environment.
Unless they used the Tianji Spirit Soil all the time, that could satisfy all the needs of Spiritual Herbs, and they would not reject anything. But many times, using the Tianji Doll was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. It was completely possible to use a more cost-effective method to deal with it.
For example, after the Herb Valley was expanded, it was divided into different areas, and then each area was transformed into different environments and landforms.
For example, the Snow Lotus grew in an extremely cold environment with snow falling all year round, and the Nine Yin Grass grew in an environment with more Yin and less Yang.
Some Spiritual Herbs only appeared in specific seasons, and when they were not in this season, they would hibernate underground to absorb Spiritual Qi.
There were also some special Spiritual Herbs that lived in the desert and on the cliffs, and some Spiritual Herbs only grew best in the bottom of the water.
Lin Feng took the lead, and Yang Qing helped from the side. The two of them redivided the Herb Valley into different areas, and then created different environments such as hills, dangerous peaks, snowy valleys, dark caves, and ponds.
Then, they divided the various Spiritual Herbs in the Herb Valley into different types and transplanted them to the areas that were most suitable for their growth and reproduction.
After dealing with the problems in the Herb Valley, Lin Feng turned to look at Yang Qing, and said with a smile, "Little Qing 'zi, get ready. Those who pass the assessment this time might come to your side to be the cold stove."
Yang Qing's expression was still calm, and he nodded. "Disciple will try my best. It's just that after this matter, disciple wants to try to form his Gold Core, and in the near future, I'm afraid I'll delay the true disciple under my tutelage."
Lin Feng said with a smile, "No matter, when the time comes, I'll let Xiaoyi and the others help you take care of it."
After he told Yang Qing about the method Kang Nanhua used to try to break through the difficulty of life and death on the eve of his Gold Core formation, the young man really clenched his teeth and ran to try it. He sealed his magic power and cultivation level, and went to play all kinds of dangerous actions that, in Lin Feng's opinion, were extreme sports and above, but he wasn't completely courting death yet.
Of course, with Lin Feng watching over him, it was impossible to really let Yang Qing play himself to death, but the danger involved was really no less than fighting to the death with a cultivator who was stronger than him.
There might not necessarily be a return when there was effort, but it didn't mean there was no return either. Countless times of tempering gave Yang Qing a lot more courage when facing the problem of life and death.
However, the problem of his willpower still existed. Not fearing death was a manifestation of high willpower, but not fearing death was not the same as having high willpower.
Fortunately, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to challenge the Gold Core formation. For Yang Qing, if his state of mind grew, it would be much easier for him to improve his Dao.
After encouraging Yang Qing a few more words, Lin Feng left the Medicine Valley, thinking as he walked. Generally speaking, the internal facilities and departments of power in a sect could be divided into four major categories: Positive Evidence, Culture and Education, Law and Morality, and Creation.
Positive Evidence was in charge of the teaching, sorting, and creation of martial arts and spells. Excavating the disciples' talent in fights of magical powers, presiding over the collection of information from all sides, and the related defense work of the sect.
Culture and Education was in charge of the research, annotation, and deduction of the Daoist scriptures. They guided the disciples in their cultivation and comprehension, organized the sect's literature, tackled academic problems, and so on.
Law and Morality was in charge of maintaining the sect's rules and regulations, supervising the disciples' conduct, evaluating their merits and demerits, giving suggestions for rewards and punishments, and participating in the sect's daily affairs, etiquette, and other administrative management.
Creation was in charge of the customization and management of medicinal pills, magic tools, talismans, defensive equipment, and clothing.
This kind of classification was popular in many sects, with specialized personnel in charge of the system, detailed division of labor, clear standards, and efficient and concise.
It was just that the disciples who came out of this kind of environment were like the students in the schools on Earth in Lin Feng's previous life.
Although it was efficient, it was more suitable for a large-scale universal education, and not suitable for elite education.
Although the master led the way in the path of cultivation, the cultivation depended on the individual, but it was not a lie to say that a great master produces a great disciple. The master's careful cultivation and guidance of the disciple was often not just a few simple lectures.
It was to carry out a deep understanding of the disciple, tailor a cultivation plan for the disciple, and put it into practice, constantly monitoring to ensure that the disciple did not deviate from the track, or if there was a sudden change, the master could adjust in time, and not go down the dark path.
Of course, the master was not a babysitter, but the effort that the master put into a disciple who passed on his mantle was definitely huge.
Taking Lin Feng as an example, he taught Xiao Yan, Shi Tianhao, Zhu Yi, and other direct disciples. Although he only taught them the Book of Heaven and Dao, and then encouraged them to comprehend the Dao on their own, the effort that he spent on each of them in other aspects was not little.
This kind of pouring of effort, three or two could be done, and eight or ten could barely do it. Any more and they would not be able to bear it. No one had that much energy. If there were hundreds, or even thousands, they would not be able to take care of them even if they were exhausted to death.
Therefore, Lin Feng decided to adopt the disciple assessment system that he was currently adopting. The policy was to adopt the universal education method for the foundation disciples, and then adopt the elite education method for the true disciples.
The four aspects of demonstration, culture and education, law and morality, and creation, were arranged by Lin Feng to the four people, Shi Tianhao, Wang Lin, Zhu Yi, and Xiao Yan respectively. Yue Hongyan assisted Shi Tianhao, and Yang Qing assisted Xiao Yan.
The few of them played the role of a general manager. For now, they were temporarily in charge. As their true disciples grew up in the future, these things would inevitably be handed over. After all, although the organization was stationed on Yujing Mountain, the target group was actually the disciples on Yunfeng Peak.
For these four major categories, there were still many aspects that needed to be supplemented.
The demonstration aspect needed the martial arts arena and the trial ground.
The culture and education aspect needed to accelerate time cultivation. In the Xuantian Time Cave, the spiritual energy at a time was limited, and it could not accommodate too many people. Moreover, it was not worth it to use a hundred times acceleration on ordinary disciples.
What needed to be supplemented was the kind of accelerated time cave that could accelerate three to five times, but had a large enough capacity to facilitate the cultivation of a large number of disciples.
This was difficult, but it was not necessary. But if it was, it would definitely benefit the development of the sect.
There was no shortage of law and morality, but the various sect rules needed to be perfected as soon as possible. Lin Feng himself had set up simple big commandments. Later, Zhu Yi took over in this aspect and formulated many derivative related small commandments. It would be fine as long as it continued to be perfected.
The place for law enforcement, execution, detention, and punishment was not in a hurry at the moment, but it should be put forward.
In terms of creation, the Equipment Refining Pavilion's Lin Feng had already taken out the construction token from the system, and the remaining talisman making could also be considered. Talisman was very useful in fights between low-level cultivators, and it could even be used as a trump card to protect oneself.
"Actually, it's not in a hurry." Lin Feng shook his head and laughed. "Even if they were all built, to make these things operate in an organized system, we still need manpower. At least a few generations of disciples will have to grow up before these departments can be fully operated."
"But the framework can be set up first. When the time comes, there will be laws to rely on, and success will come naturally."
Lin Feng pondered and smiled leisurely. "A lofty building is built from the ground up."
Five days passed quickly, and the assessment of the foundational disciples was about to begin. Lin Feng's divine sense swept across the people on the cloud peak below, and finally his attention stopped on Luo Qingwu and Li Yuanfang.
"Come on, little friends. Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's take a walk."
