To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

Sun Yi feigned surprise and bowed to Qingxuan Patriarch. "Thank you for your help, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Patriarch Qingxuan nodded, looking quite satisfied with Sun Yi. "Okay, I hope you'll keep your word. What are you going to do next?"

Sun Yi suddenly smiled and said, "I want to speak to the elders first."

Patriarch Qingxuan was slightly stunned, and the five elders present snorted coldly and looked at Sun Yi with unfriendly expressions.

The five elders all thought to themselves, "We have only one thing in mind: to find an opportunity to destroy you."

Seeing the looks in the eyes of the five Jindan-stage elders, Sun Yi smiled calmly and said, "I think the five elders are eager to tear me into pieces."

"It's good that you know. We will have plenty of ways to deal with you later!" The five elders all had the same idea in mind.

"Let me ask you one thing. Given your current cultivation level and the current strength of our Qingyun Sect, what are your chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage?"

Sun Yi's question stumped the five Jindan-stage elders. They were all in the middle Jindan stage, and seemed not far from the Yuanying stage, but in fact, they were a world away. Without a major opportunity, it was basically impossible for them to reach the Yuanying stage in this lifetime.

The reason why the five of them wanted to compete for the position of the headmaster was, of course, because taking that position could increase their chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, but the chances were still small.

"I think it will be difficult for you to reach the Nascent Soul stage even if you take the position of the sect leader." Sun Yi looked at the five Golden Core stage elders.

"What? After you become the head, will we have the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage?" Elder Jin Jue looked at Sun Yi with disdain and asked.

Sun Yi was not at all modest, with a proud look on his face: "Of course, as long as you fully support and cooperate with my work, I promise you that you will all have the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"Hmph, what can you promise us?" Elder Qin Chu looked at Sun Yi with disdain. He absolutely did not believe that a mere menial disciple at the third level of Qi Refining could give them a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Even the Qingxuan Patriarch sitting in the main seat didn't believe it, but Sun Yi vowed: "I guarantee you with my life that within a year, I will bring about earth-shaking changes to Qingyun Sect, greatly improving its financial strength and allowing you to obtain far more resources than before. If you can't do it, I will give you my life, and then you can compete for the position of Sect Leader again."

"It's just a year, which is just a blink of an eye for you. If I fail, you will only lose a year, but if I succeed, you should understand how much you will gain. Why not take a gamble on me?" Sun Yi stared at the five Jindan stage elders opposite him, watching their subtle changes in expression.

The five Jindan-stage elders were moved, clearly somewhat tempted, because a year really wasn't a long time. Before they could speak, Patriarch Qingxuan interrupted them, "What are you afraid of? It's only a year. Can't you even wait for that little bit of time?"

Elder Jin Jue felt that a mere year was enough to give Sun Yi a chance, so he bowed to Patriarch Qing Xuan and said, "Ancestor, I am willing to give him a chance."

"Disciple is also willing to give him a year." Qin Chu also expressed his opinion.

"I'm willing to take a chance on him too." Li Tai also stood up and expressed his opinion.

Han Yun also stood up and said, "Since what he said is so good, why don't I support him?"

The last elder Ye Luo said, "I also want to see if he can do what he said."

"Done!" Sun Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. Anyway, he had now stabilized the five most difficult guys. As long as he had their support, who else in Qingyun Sect would dare to jump out and oppose him?

"Disciple would like to express our sincere gratitude to the ancestor and several elders for their support. Let's discuss the next arrangements."

"Ancestor Qingxuan, you are responsible for refining the battle tower. I have a few requirements for the battle tower. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."

As he spoke, Sun Yi engraved a jade slip and handed it to Patriarch Qingxuan.

Patriarch Qingxuan took the jade slip and read the requirements on it, frowning slightly. "Your requirements are a bit high. You actually want to send someone to sit in the battle tower to grade it, and you also want the illusion inside the battle tower to be as real as possible. It's not easy and it's expensive. However, the sect has already had an illusion assessment array. I can do it. Don't worry, it will only take half a year."

"I'll leave this matter to you, Old Ancestor." Sun Yi bowed, then looked at Elder Jin Jue and said, "Elder Jin Jue will continue to be in charge of the work of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Several elders looked at Sun Yi in surprise. Elder Jin Jue looked at Sun Yi in confusion: "Aren't you going to replace us?"

Sun Yi smiled and shook his head. "The Law Enforcement Hall is extremely important to the sect. We need a highly respected elder to preside over it. Elder Jin Jue is very suitable. However, the Law Enforcement Hall will need to enforce the law according to my requirements. We must ensure that the law is fair and there must not be any favoritism. The illegal acts of the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall will be dealt with seriously. I wonder if Elder Jin Jue can guarantee this?"

Although he was somewhat reluctant about disciplining his own disciple, he nodded and promised when he remembered that he had just promised to fully support Sun Yi. "Okay, I promise that similar problems will not occur again, and I promise that the Law Enforcement Hall will never show favoritism."

Sun Yi turned his gaze to Elder Qin Chu again. "Elder Qin Chu, I'll have to trouble you to take charge of the Internal Affairs Hall and fully cooperate with me in the integration of the sect's resources. You are the only one in the entire sect who knows the most about the various resources. I can't think of anyone else who can help me except you."

"Okay, I will fully cooperate with you." Elder Qin Chu stroked his sparse beard, thinking that he was so important in Sun Yi's heart. Suddenly, his eyes looking at Sun Yi became much softer.

Sun Yi's eyes swept over Elder Li Tai and Elder Han Yun again. "The unification of Luan Yao County is related to the future of our Qingyun Sect. Therefore, Elder Li Tai and Elder Han Yun need your cooperation in preparation. If this is done well, both of you will be important contributors to the rise of our Qingyun Sect. In the future, your names will be recorded in the history of our Qingyun Sect. However, this matter is not urgent. It will take some time. We can only carry it out after we have resolved the Black Wind Village and the Evil Spirit Valley."

When Elder Li Tai and Elder Han Yun heard that they could still go down in history, they were immediately overjoyed, and their dissatisfaction with Sun Yi disappeared. As for Sun Yi's suggestion to solve the problem of Black Wind Village and Evil Spirit Valley, they simply ignored it.

Sun Yi looked at Elder Ye Luo again. Seeing Elder Ye Luo's expectant gaze, Sun Yi smiled and made arrangements for him: "Elder Ye Luo will continue to control Qingyun Sect's Miscellaneous Arts Hall. In the future, the Miscellaneous Arts Hall will be our Qingyun Sect's money bag. Elder Ye Luo will be our God of Wealth in the future. First, we need to make new identity cards for our disciples. I have some requirements here."

Sun Yi directly threw a jade slip to Elder Ye Luo.

When Elder Ye Luo heard Sun Yi praise him so highly, he immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will fully support your work this year. You can do whatever you want."

Sun Yi smiled slightly, his eyes swept across the faces of several people, and saw that their faces were flushed. There was no trace of the gnashing of teeth they had before towards him. In the sect, everyone was aware of the human relationships and there was no such great hatred.

"Hmph, what a Jindan-stage cultivator! Isn't it easy to take him down? From now on, you'll just work for me obediently! But I have to finish what I planned as soon as possible. Before that, I must improve my strength and expand my knowledge!"

After dealing with the ancestor and several Jindan-stage elders, Sun Yi bowed to the Qingxuan ancestor and said, "Ancestor, let's leave it at that for now. Now please gather all the disciples of the sect. I want to start the reform!"
