CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 124: JIU IS TRUE MAN TIANJIAN? TRUE MARTIAL SECT’S MAJOR MOVE (TWO-IN-ONE)_3

When the identities of these two people completely overlapped with Ning Qi’s identity, he was very clear about what it represented.

He smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Recently, although the True Martial Sect has been prominent and famous throughout the world, there have been some sarcastic remarks, mostly concerning the lifespan of True Man Tianjian. In the last fight between True Man Tianjian and Thunder Shock Blade Venerate, many sensed that True Man Tianjian was old and frail, perhaps with only a few decades left to live.

If True Man Tianjian passes away, then the True Martial Sect would only have Taoist Longshan, leading to a significant decline in prestige.

But now he knew, True Man Tianjian was his junior brother.

Forget the nonsense about his life being short; his junior brother was just like a rising sun!

Luo Wentian felt increasingly confident in his heart.

"Master, Jiu, I want to expand the True Martial Sect and implement some reforms."

Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi exchanged smiles.

"You are the Sect Leader; whatever ideas you have, just go ahead and do it. Both I and your ninth junior brother will support you."

Ning Qi said:

"Eldest Senior Brother, when I am idle, I created many Martial Arts Secret Techniques and placed them in the Scripture Pavilion. You can use them to strengthen our True Martial disciples’ strength. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me at any time."

Luo Wentian couldn’t help but sigh:

"So those were all created by you, junior brother. When you previously gave us the Sleep Dream Skill, we already had some suspicions, but Master always said he acquired it in his early years, so we didn’t think much of it. But now that I think about it, there are too many loopholes—how could there be new secret techniques appearing every so often?"

He laughed.

Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi also laughed. In the past, concealing their identities always made things less smooth, but now with open honesty, things were much better.

Ning Qi said:

"Compared to before, there are many more; there are more Superior Stance Skills in the Body Tempering Realm, and I also optimized the True Martial Nine Stances, making them close to Unparalleled Stance Skills, but the difficulty of cultivation remains unchanged. Additionally, there are some Stacking Strength Skills, Gang Strength Skills, and Slaughter Martial Arts and secret techniques that Eldest Senior Brother can use as you see fit."

Luo Wentian’s heart was stirred.

"Great! With your support, Jiu, if I can’t achieve something, then I would be letting down all your contributions!"

He rubbed his hands, already eager to start.

The next day.

Luo Wentian gathered many disciples and announced various reforms.

First.

All the former True Disciples are now set as Elders and Reserve Elders. Among the current ten True Disciples, aside from the three young ones, the others have all stepped into the White Mist Realm.

After advancing to the White Mist Realm, one can become an Elder, while the three younger ones are Reserve Elders.

According to the different personalities of everyone, various halls such as Punishment, Inheritance, Medicine Garden, External Affairs, etc. were established for them to take charge of. For instance, Xiong Shi, being impartial and incorruptible, is responsible for the Punishment Hall. Although the True Martial Sect is currently united, with hardly any underhanded deeds, one must always be prepared for any future issues, especially as expansion might bring in some bad elements.

Besides, after becoming Elders, they can accept disciples, but it’s not mandatory.

Secondly.

The Inner and Outer Sect disciples are also reclassified based on age and cultivation level.

Some have exhausted their potential and will be encouraged to step out of the disciple ranks, taking on more internal affairs and assisting in the Sect’s development, serving as stewards of various halls or in charge of industries below the mountain.

But their upward movement won’t be blocked. According to their contributions to the Sect, they will likewise be able to exchange various Martial Arts Secret Techniques and resources.

And some young ones or those with excellent potential will primarily focus on cultivation while also being given some external tasks, allowing them to gain experience while contributing to the Sect.

This can form a virtuous cycle.

At the same time.

Luo Wentian further detailed the criteria for promoting Outer Sect disciples to Inner Sect disciples, considering not just cultivation but also character and contribution to the Sect.

As for True Disciples.

This is different from before. Previously, the True Disciples were all disciples accepted by Taoist Longshan; as long as they were his disciples, they were True Disciples. However, Luo Wentian felt this, to some extent, diminished the enthusiasm of the disciples.

Therefore.

He implemented reforms.

The number of True Disciples is no longer limited; they can be promoted from Inner Sect disciples based on cultivation and contribution, or exceptionally talented young ones can be granted special permission to become True Disciples, but the criteria are very strict and not easily met.

Especially for the True Martial Nine Stances and subsequent inheritances, Luo Wentian also planned to pass them on to only nine people.

It must be the nine most outstanding True Disciples.

...

As each reform was announced, everyone was amazed. Many ambitious disciples’ eyes shone brightly with excitement.

These were indeed significant moves.

And one must admit, after such a reorganization, the vitality of the True Martial Sect was more vigorous, and the structure of the Sect gradually became clearer, ready to burst with even greater vitality.

Ning Qi listened.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel that his Eldest Senior Brother was born to be a Sect Leader.

So many things were arranged so systematically.

Luo Wentian looked around at everyone and said:

"As the True Martial Sect prospers, in the days to come, the Sect’s structures will be gradually adjusted. If any of you have good suggestions, feel free to put them forward."

"And there are two last matters."

"Firstly, I have had someone draft up everyone’s contributions to the Sect in recent years. Based on these contributions, each person can enter the Scripture Pavilion once and exchange for Martial Arts Ultimate Skills!"

"Secondly, in three months, the True Martial Sect will open its mountain gates wide and recruit new disciples and members!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

"We express our gratitude to the Sect Leader!"

Taoist Longshan looked on with satisfaction.

Now the True Martial Sect was slowly taking the shape of a top-notch Sect, and he had entrusted the right person.
