After seeing off the people of the Feng Family, Ding Ning immediately began to be busy.
All day long, he kept meeting the representatives of the major forces who stayed and reached preliminary cooperation intentions with them. At the same time, he advertised … well, publicized Tianze Sect's recruitment of Masters of Offerings.
But obviously, these forces were not very interested in the recruitment of Tianze Sect's Masters of Offerings. They were more interested in the trade and cooperation of elixirs and spiritual weapons.
Ding Ning didn't care. He didn't expect these forces to be sent to Tianze Sect as Masters of Offerings by the experts of their sects. Even if they were willing, he would still be worried.
He deliberately mentioned this in front of them to publicize it. Even if only one-tenth of the people of so many forces talked about it, it would soon be spread in Jianghu, and those who were interested would naturally come to him.
What was more, the threshold for Tianze Sect to recruit Masters was very high. At least the Holy Martial Arts Realm, and ordinary forces really didn't have this strength.
In the trade of elixirs and spiritual weapons, Ding Ning didn't adopt the conservative way of the Holy Medical Family and the Holy-sword Villa, but he definitely didn't open the door to supply.
Ordinary forces could only barter in Tianze Sect with treasures of heaven and earth and rare medicinal materials, or buy spiritual equipment and elixirs at a sky-high price (Anping Dollars) that was many times higher than the market price. But the highest they could buy was Earth Level Primary Elixirs and Medium Level Spiritual Weapons.
If they wanted to establish a deeper cooperation with Tianze Sect and have the qualification to buy higher-level spiritual equipment and elixirs, they must form a strategic alliance relationship with Tianze Sect.
The strategic alliance relationship was divided into six levels from low to high according to black iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and supreme diamond. The higher the level of the alliance, the higher the qualification to buy elixirs and spiritual equipment, and the greater the discount on the price.
This form of cooperation was similar to the membership system in general business clubs. The higher the level of the member, the more resources and benefits it could enjoy.
The method was similar but not exactly the same. It didn't mean that the amount of money you deposited in Tianze Sect or the amount of transactions you made could not increase the level of the alliance.
Instead, it was a set of extremely detailed and perfect "Alliance Level Evaluation Criteria" that his mother, Su Ningxiang, worked overnight. Only when the standards were reached could the alliance level be increased.
After Ding Ning read the Alliance Grading Evaluation Criteria (hereinafter referred to as the Evaluation Criteria), he was full of admiration for his mother. She deserved to be the most talented woman in Andu. This evaluation criteria was absolutely perfect.
According to the "Evaluation Criteria" set by his mother, if these forces wanted to increase their alliance level, they would have to accumulate a fixed amount of transactions.
However, after reaching the required amount of transactions, they would only be able to meet the basic requirements to level up. If they wanted to level up to a higher level, they would have to display genuine goodwill toward the Tianze Sect. Only after this goodwill had accumulated to a certain level could the alliance level be raised.
And how should this kindness be evaluated? His wise mother had also given him a solution, which was the contribution points system implemented by the Tianze Sect.
When the Tianze Sect was in trouble, these strategic allies would provide support or help. As long as they stood on the same side as the Tianze Sect, they would be rewarded with contribution points according to their performance.
After all, they were allies. It was not enough to just buy and sell cultivation materials. If they came to help when there was something good, they would pretend to be deaf and dumb when there was trouble. How could they enjoy the convenience brought by the strategic alliance?
Therefore, only strategic allies who could stand up to protect the reputation and safety of the Tianze Sect at critical moments deserved the contribution points rewarded by the Tianze Sect.
Only allies who were recognized by the Tianze Sect could be promoted to the strategic alliance level with a certain amount of contribution points and a fixed amount of transactions.
It had to be said that the "Evaluation Criteria" set by his mother officially put the Tianze Sect on the track of good development in terms of external cooperation. At the same time, it also put an end to the phenomenon of people entering through the back door, which saved Ding Ning a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, he had so many women. If all his aunts and aunts asked them to talk to him and wanted to increase the alliance level through the back door, what should he do?
If he agreed, it would be unfair to others. If he didn't, he would offend others. If his women were caught in the middle, they would also be in trouble.
But with the criteria, it would be easy. Nothing could be accomplished without rules. Whether it was the accumulation of transactions or the acquisition of contribution points, there would be a person in charge of the detailed ranking, and it would be announced regularly. The entire process was completely open and transparent, and it could stand anyone's scrutiny.
Many people thought that his mother's stroke of genius was just a perfection and implementation of a system. Only Ding Ning and a few people could understand the deep meaning contained in it.
All the hustle and bustle in the world came for benefits, and all the hustle and bustle in the world went for benefits.
His mother's move not only perfectly separated the sincere cooperation from the malicious forces, but also used benefits to tie the wavering forces to the chariot of the Tianze Sect sooner or later.
Think about it, if the malicious forces were malicious, how could they get the contribution points of the Tianze Sect?
After all, if they wanted to become members of a higher-level alliance, the cost was simply too high. Not only would they need a massive amount of transactions, but they would also need to show their full support to the Tianze Sect at crucial times. This was not worth it for them.
As for those wavering fence-sitters, when they saw that the sincere cooperation forces got enough cultivation resources and the strength gap between them and them kept increasing, could they still sit still?
The answer was yes. As long as one was human, one would want to compete with others. Originally, everyone's strength was about the same, but because of their wavering, they were quickly overtaken by the other side. It would be strange if they could still sit still.
Therefore, the final result was that these fence-sitters would regret and try hard to catch up. The only result was that they would change from passers-by fans to hardcore fans, and finally become the hardcore alliance of the Tianze Sect.
It could be said that Su Ningxiang made full use of human nature and interests. As time went on, it was possible that the Tianze Sect would make all the martial arts forces in the world into a hardcore alliance.
The implementation of the "Evaluation Criteria" was smoother than Ding Ning had imagined. Those forces who sincerely wanted to cooperate with him but had no relationship with him were originally nervous. After seeing the "Evaluation Criteria", they were not surprised but happy. Without hesitation, they expressed their willingness to form a strategic alliance with the Tianze Sect.
The reason was very simple. They had no personal relationship with Ding Ning. They wanted to cooperate with him but were afraid of being turned away. However, the implementation of the "Evaluation Criteria" was completely open and transparent. It also sent a signal to them that the Tianze Sect would never take the path of relationships and would treat all forces who sincerely wanted to cooperate with the Tianze Sect equally.
They were not afraid of competition, but they were afraid that the Tianze Sect would not handle things fairly. However, when the "Evaluation Criteria" was taken out, they instantly felt half relieved.
The reason why they said half instead of all was that rules were dead, while people were alive. Who knew whether the Tianze Sect would pretend to be one person and pretend to be another?
However, after witnessing Ding Ning and Duke Millers, the representative of the Covenant of Darkness, sign the cooperation agreement in public, the remaining half felt completely relieved.
What a joke. Who didn't know that Ding Ning had a grudge against the Covenant of Darkness? Even such a big enemy could put aside his grudge and cooperate with him. As they had no grudge against Ding Ning, they had nothing to worry about.
No one knew that Millers had already become his subordinate. Ding Ning had specially arranged for him to act out this plot of buying a horse's bone with a thousand gold coins. As expected, it obtained a sensational good effect.
All the major forces were in high fighting spirit and eagerly signed up. They scrambled to be the first to sign the alliance agreement with the Tianze Sect and become the strategic alliance partner of the Tianze Sect.
The funniest thing was that many forces who had a competitive relationship with each other began to compete with each other. They even made a bet on the spot to see who would be the first to become the bronze alliance partner of the Tianze Sect.
Looking at the bustling scene, Ding Ning stretched his waist and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. Waving his hand, he left the scene to Zi Que 'er, He Ling' er and Long Yi who had already returned safely. Seeing this, all the women simultaneously rolled their eyes and complained inwardly that this fellow's old habits were budding and he was once again a hands-off shopkeeper.
In fact, they really wronged Ding Ning this time. He was not a hands-off shopkeeper, but he had something to do.
Bai Qing had been here for two days, but he had no time to greet him. Moreover, he came here with Jiang Yimeng this time. He could ignore Bai Qing, but he had to show enough respect to his sworn sister.
Long Luo and that group of Demigod gangsters were the first group of Offerings he planned to recruit, so he naturally couldn't treat them lightly.
Mao Mountain's Taoist Deming, Dragon Tiger Mountain's Celestial Master Zhang, Cold Flame Soul-Chasing Spear Song Zhong, plain-clothed teenager Pudding, little monk Wuxiang …
Of course, he had to meet these old friends. Otherwise, these old friends might think that he began to put on airs after becoming the sect master.
Bai Qing was absolutely one of his people, so Ding Ning did not stand on ceremony with him. After accepting the congratulations of his sworn sister Jiang Yimeng, he chatted with Bai Qing for a while, and then asked someone to show them around Tianze Island. He said that they would talk about it in detail when they drank at night, and then hurried to the next stop.
Mao Mountain's Deming and Dragon Tiger Mountain's Celestial Master Zhang were waiting for him to meet them. Although they had gone through trials and tribulations together, they were not very familiar with each other after all. In addition, Ding Ning's current identity and status were quite different, so when they saw him, they and their four disciples hurriedly stood up, bowed, and cupped their hands to salute him. They looked extremely respectful and reserved.
"Taoist Deming, Celestial Master Zhang, oh, you two brothers are going to shorten my life. We don't have to do this between us."
Ding Ning was not a person who liked to put on airs. He hurriedly stepped forward, put his arms around their shoulders, and said affectionately, "In the past two days, I have been so busy with the opening ceremony of the sect that my feet have not touched the ground. I have really neglected you two brothers. You must be considerate of me. Tonight, I will hold a banquet, and let's have a good gathering."
These words, which did not regard him as an outsider, made the two Taoist priests feel flattered and warm in their hearts. They even felt honored in front of their disciples. What was popularity? This was popularity.
"Although he is the sect master of the top sect, he still calls us brothers when he sees us. This friendship is absolutely strong, and it will not change because of the change of status."
The four disciples' faces all lit up. They looked at Ding Ning with worship and admiration, and even subconsciously straightened their backs.
It had to be said that even Ding Ning himself did not know that he had now become the irreplaceable idol in the hearts of countless young boys and girls who dreamed of Jianghu.
Not only did he become a Demigod in his early twenties, but he also became the sect master of the top sect in the world (most ordinary martial artists did not know the existence of the hidden forces).
This identity, status, strength, and achievement were enough to make countless old antiques blush with shame, but he did not show off, nor did he put on any airs because of the difference in status. He treated his old friends sincerely and warmly as usual, and communicated with them equally. Just this broad-mindedness and the way of dealing with people were worth learning. He was indeed worthy of being the idol in their hearts.
