Chapter 590: Chapter 402: Hitting the Mark by Accident

Nine positions, eleven Supreme Elders.

Only two Supreme Elders were left without a position.

Bai Qinying, at the mid-Core Formation Stage, was now a veteran Supreme Elder; it would be easy for her to secure a position.

Next, Zheng Wuji took the Task Hall and Wang Lingwei took the Law Enforcement Hall. Finally, Huang Mengyang and Zhou Beixing were made responsible for the Spirit Ore Institute and Artifact Refining Peak.

The competition for the Artifact Refining Peak was the most intense, as the three remaining Supreme Elders had similar seniority.

"Supreme Elders, for the areas you are now responsible for, you must also make proper arrangements for the First and Second Sub-Sects. Afterward, just compile the information and report it all to me."

As the Sect Leader, Fang Yun was in charge of the final coordination and planning.

He held the most power and had access to the most information.

Once all the information was integrated, it would be easier for him to formulate the sect’s future plans.

"Yes, Sect Leader!" all the Supreme Elders responded in unison.

After the meeting ended, all but two of the Supreme Elders immediately got busy.

The position of Management Elder in each department was gone, replaced by a Supreme Elder at the top.

Among the Four Peaks, Three Halls, and Two Institutes, the Spirit Field Institute adapted the fastest.

This was because Mi Xiaoqi had held this position before, and he remained in the same role. The only difference was his promotion from Elder to Supreme Elder.

This change meant that Mi Xiaoqi’s authority was now much greater than before.

Previously, a Management Elder was the head, but their decisions were difficult to implement if their second and third-in-command objected. Now, direct opposition from other Elders was largely ineffective.

If anyone felt a Supreme Elder’s decision was highly problematic, they could report it directly to the Sect Leader.

"Elder Tian, Elder Xia."

"Present!"

"Elder Tian, you will go to the First Sub-Sect and be in charge of its Spirit Field Institute. Elder Xia, you will be responsible for the Spirit Field Institute of the Second Sub-Sect."

Elder Tian and Elder Xia glanced at each other, then responded in unison.

"We will not disappoint you, Supreme Elder!"

The Spirit Field Institutes of the First and Second Sub-Sects had previously been managed by Mi Xiaoqi’s second and third-in-command. Their power had grown after being sent to the sub-sects, making it difficult for Mi Xiaoqi to arrange many things.

Mi Xiaoqi strongly approved of the Sect Leader’s deep reforms and the new system. He was happy to take on this position again to better manage the Spirit Field Institute and produce more Spirit Medicine.

Elder Tian was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and Elder Xia was at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

These two Elders were on good terms with Mi Xiaoqi and had earned his deep trust. This was the biggest reason they were assigned there, followed by their skill in cultivating Spirit Medicine.

Mi Xiaoqi sent the two Elders to the sub-sects without transferring any Elders back. He personally took over the Spirit Fields they had been tending to.

For him, this was now an easy task.

Even at the same skill level, there was a huge difference in efficiency between a Core Formation Stage Spirit Plant Master and a Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Plant Master. Moreover, after reaching the Core Formation Stage, Mi Xiaoqi had gained new insights into caring for Spirit Medicine, and his abilities had improved considerably.

Other Supreme Elders were taking similar measures.

This was especially true for the management of the First and Second Sub-Sects.

Of course, the arrangements for Supreme Elders in different locations varied, as not all of them were at the main sect.

The First and Second Sub-Sects each had two Supreme Elders stationed as guardians.

Currently, the two Supreme Elders guarding the First Sub-Sect were Miao Qinghong and Zheng Wuji.

Miao Qinghong was by far the more flexible of the two.

After the Demon Spirit Sect was eliminated, Miao Qinghong had been guarding the Second Sub-Sect, waiting for the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect to make a move.

Later, when the Dragon Demon Palace started causing trouble, she immediately swapped places with Li Congxue, the Supreme Elder stationed at the First Sub-Sect, and returned there once again.

「Six months later.」

In the Sect Leader’s residence.

Fang Yun and Bai Qinying were chatting. Meanwhile, Song Qiaoqiao was cultivating in the Cultivation Room.

"Senior Sister, are you adjusting to your new position?" Fang Yun asked Bai Qinying about her management of the Evil Extermination Hall. In private, the two still addressed each other as Senior Sister and Junior Brother.

"Come on, Junior Brother. You should know who your Senior Sister is. I adapted long ago. Handling these duties hardly slows me down."

"That’s good to hear," Fang Yun nodded.

With the new sect system in place and the Supreme Elders in their positions, the sect’s operational efficiency had increased significantly.

This efficiency was mainly due to the Supreme Elders being able to directly handle and make decisions on matters that were previously beyond the authority of regular Elders. Afterward, they only needed to mention it briefly to him, the Sect Leader, during their information summaries.

Previously, when Management Elders handled such matters, it often involved an extra step in the process.

As they were chatting, a message suddenly arrived.

It was a message for Bai Qinying.

"It’s a report from an Elder of the Evil Extermination Hall. Let me see..."

As she spoke, Bai Qinying received the message.

The next moment, a grave expression appeared on her face.

"Senior Sister, what’s wrong?" Fang Yun asked quickly.

"We’ve found the reason for the Dragon Demon Palace’s actions against us. It’s connected to Ghost Head Castle."

"Ghost Head Castle..."

This news surprised Fang Yun.

It wasn’t the Ghost Cultivator Influences—the Black Ghost Cave or the Ghost-Controlling Sect—but Ghost Head Castle.

If it had been the former two, Fang Yun wouldn’t have been surprised.

"The Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect haven’t made any moves recently, have they?"

"No." Bai Qinying shook her head. "But now that Ghost Head Castle is connected to the Dragon Demon Palace, the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect will likely get involved later. So, I want to assign more people to keep an eye on them."
