Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

"Hmm?" Ji Yuchan was puzzled. "Isn't this good? From now on, they won't have to queue up every day. They only need to queue up once a month. They can use the time saved to practice. What's wrong with that?"

Elder Xiao rolled his eyes inwardly. Where did it say they didn't have to queue up every day? They completed their tasks every day, but didn't they still have to queue up every day to hand them in?

His rule was to omit the process of distributing spirit stones every day, but the other procedures remained the same!

"Master, the key is another rule. Junior Brother Lin said before that the monthly allowance will not be paid until the fifteenth day of the following month."

"In this way, the tasks completed by the disciples this month will be distributed along with next month's monthly allowance."

"That means, after they complete their mission this month, they won't receive their monthly rewards until the fifteenth day of the next month, which is nearly seventy days later..."

"..."

Ji Yuchan was rarely silent.

She had to admit that she was indeed shocked by Lin Xuan's magical idea.

However, she soon realized the key:

"It's only seventy days. Once the first month is over, the rest will be quick, right? You'll need some spirit stones anyway, so why worry about it?"

"This……"

Now it was Elder Xiao's turn to be silent. What was so good about that bastard Lin Xuan that the sect leader could protect him so much?

If someone else dared to make such a big mistake, he would have been beaten to death long ago, right?

"Master, that's what you said, but what if there are no more spirit stones to distribute within the sect? Wouldn't that mean we've worked in vain?"

It was still that brave disciple. He was really brave. Even Elder Xiao didn't dare to say this openly, but he, an outer disciple, dared to say it without any scruples.

"Bastard!" Ji Yuchan shouted angrily.

"What do you mean by that? When has the sect ever been short of your spirit stones? If you dare to speak nonsense and disrupt the stability of the sect again, I will not forgive you!"

But the disciple was not afraid of her at all, and asked loudly:

"Master, if you don't lack spirit stones, then why do you have to go through all this trouble? Isn't Lin Xuan doing all this just to get our spirit stones?"

"I'd also like to ask Sect Master, just how desperately short of spirit stones does Ling Tian Sect have right now, that they've even resorted to plucking spirit stones from outer disciples?"

"Shut up!"

Elder Xiao's face was pale. He really didn't expect that after he specially found a few honest-looking people to bring with him, he would actually bring along a young and inexperienced person.

What if he continues talking and the clan leader gets angry and kills him to silence him?

Before Ji Yuchan could open his mouth, he cursed, "You bastard! You have no right to be nosy in front of the Sect Master. Get out of here!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the other disciples and cursed, "Take this bastard away!"

The other disciples breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly pulled that disciple out.

"Master, please calm down." Elder Xiao spoke carefully.

"He is an outer sect disciple with low cultivation and narrow vision, so it is naturally difficult for him to understand the good intentions of the sect master."

"However, although what he said was a bit extreme, it also shows that most of the disciples in the sect now have the same idea. That's why they are so lazy and would rather meditate and practice than do sect missions."

The effects of meditation and cultivation can be seen immediately, but who knows if there will be more spirit stones to be given out after completing the sect’s mission?

They saw this very clearly, and no one was willing to gamble on that possibility.

Ji Yuchan understood this truth very well. If a sect wanted to last long, the most important thing besides strength was unity.

If you want so many people in the sect to unite and face the outside world together, you can only make them face the same direction by binding them with their own interests.

What they just said has indeed affected the interests of everyone. It is no wonder that they have such a big reaction since their personal interests have been damaged.

"Master, this matter concerns the foundation of the sect and must not be taken lightly. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible." Elder Xiao did not dare to say it clearly and could only say a few words.

Ji Yuchan was troubled again after hearing this. Logically, no matter what Lin Xuan did, it should be right, and she should believe in Lin Xuan unconditionally.

But the current situation is indeed too serious and we cannot delay even a moment.

"Forget it." She sighed softly.

"Go call Lin Xuan over, I'll ask him myself."

What if Xiao Xuan had some hidden plans? Although this time the commotion was a bit excessive, if he really had a legitimate reason, she would also consider whether to let him go.

------

Inside the treasure pavilion, Lin Xuan was sipping the finest spiritual tea, sitting on a chair made of top-grade earth core red jade, listening to his newly recruited assistant, Junior Sister Xin, reporting on matters.

The feeling of holding power was really comfortable. He just mentioned it casually and two outer sect sisters came to help him handle the affairs.

Now he only needs to give them some tasks every day, and they will do the rest.

The rest of the time, I just drink tea and listen to music, which is really relaxing.

"Ah~" Such a comfortable life made him sigh comfortably.

Just then, another junior sister who assisted him in handling affairs ran in from outside holding a box with a bright smile on her face, which made Lin Xuan in a good mood.

"Brother Lin, we have already purchased all the spiritual plants needed for the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Here are the remaining spiritual stones. Please count them."

"Yeah." Lin Xuan nodded and took the box. He immediately became more satisfied with this Junior Sister Chen.

You even know to use a box to block it. That’s good, very good.

It was just an ordinary wooden box. Lin Xuan took a quick look and found five storage bags inside.

There are five storage bags. If each one is filled up, wouldn’t that mean there would be at least three million spirit stones?

It’s posted, it’s really posted this time!

The smile on his face was as beautiful as a flower. He immediately probed his spiritual sense into it and saw that the smile on his face froze instantly and the petals fell off in an instant.

"Why... are there only so few spirit stones left?"

The purchasing budget at that time was as much as five million high-quality spirit stones. According to his budget, the whole process of purchasing, preservation, and maintenance would only cost one million spirit stones at most.

Even if there is some loss from the remaining four million, there will still be more than three million left, which is just enough for him to keep for his own cultivation.

But now, there are less than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones left in each storage bag, and the total of the five is less than 500,000.

Where did the remaining spirit stones go?

He suddenly looked up at Junior Sister Chen. She was the one who handled all the affairs. If there was really a problem, it must be her fault!

"Junior Sister Chen, why are there only so few spirit stones left? Where are the others?"

Lin Xuan's tone was unfriendly. At this moment, no beautiful junior sister could compare to his spirit stones!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Junior Sister Chen's eyes immediately turned red, tears instantly filled her eyes, and her voice trembled with grievance and confusion:

"Brother Lin, what do you mean by this? Could it be that...Could it be that Brother Lin suspects that I took these spirit stones?"
