chapter 234: inspecting the sect (2) when meng zhang arrived at war hall, zheng chao was instructing several disciples. meng zhang became interested and not only gave some guidance but also personally tested and assessed these disciples. although these disciples' actions were still a bit inexperienced, they showed considerable proficiency and had a systematic approach. after encouraging zheng chao, meng zhang left the place and went to formations hall. inside formations hall, it was deserted, with only wen qiansun, the hall master, and two formation master apprentices. formation is considered a highly challenging skill among the myriad arts of cultivation. without exceptional comprehension and extraordinary intelligence, one can hardly grasp the essence of formations. despite having numerous disciples in taiyi sect, they could barely cultivate two formation master apprentices. when not engaged in cultivation, wen qiansun studied various formation scriptures. any matters related to formations within the sect were handled by him. if even he couldn't handle them, it would require the intervention of deep earthspirit general. formations hall didn't offer much to see, so after encouraging wen qiansun, meng zhang left the place.̃øv€lß1n. the duties of outer affairs hall mainly took place outside the sect, and as the hall master, li xuan spent most of his time on the go. meng zhang had no specific reason to visit him there. general affairs hall was managed by meng zhang's senior brother, tian zhen, who was also the general affairs elder of the sect. for many years, tian zhen had been handling the day-to-day affairs of the sect in an orderly manner, and meng zhang had great trust in him. currently, the arrangement of tasks for sect disciples, the issuance of missions, the distribution of rewards, and other similar matters all fell under the responsibility of general affairs hall. additionally, this hall was in charge of handling various unclassified tasks within the sect. meng zhang also entrusted the management of the sect's treasury to tian zhen. recognizing his own limited aptitude in cultivation, tian zhen focused most of his time on sect affairs, as he believed that his future in cultivation was somewhat limited, bordering on giving up on it altogether. meng zhang had advised tian zhen several times and even wanted to delegate some of his tasks to others, but tian zhen firmly refused. his determination to personally take charge was not about grasping power but rather a lack of confidence in others. he insisted on contributing to the sect himself. everyone had their own aspirations, but despite meng zhang's earnest persuasions, he had no choice but to let it go. tian zhen genuinely enjoyed the busy workload and was unwilling to give it up. general affairs hall was the busiest place in taiyi sect. disciples came and went, collecting and submitting tasks, creating a continuous flow of activity. the sect had numerous spirit farmers, but only a few were qualified, and even fewer were outstanding. over the years, the most exceptional spirit farmers in the sect were daoist clear spirit and his few disciples, as well as wang shitou and his son, who had joined taiyi sect in earlier years. daoist clear spirit, as the elder in charge of spirit field affairs, not only managed all the spirit fields in fuzhao valley but also those in other spirit veins across taiyi sect's territory. even with the assistance of the wang father and son, daoist clear spirit was constantly busy and overwhelmed. however, he bore no discontent and instead relished the busy work within the spirit fields. upon meng zhang's arrival in the spirit field, daoist clear spirit was occupied with his duties. after daoist clear spirit had finished, meng zhang respectfully paid his respects to this esteemed elder of the sect. they exchanged a few words before meng zhang took his leave to avoid interrupting daoist clear spirit's work. meng zhang contemplated and decided to establish an organization within the sect known as the cultivation field hall, responsible for all affairs related to the spirit fields. any new spirit fields or maintenance tasks would be entrusted to the cultivation field hall. during peak times at the spirit fields, disciples from the sect could be called upon to assist. additionally, some mounts, including flying ones, would be specifically allocated to the cultivation field hall to facilitate their movements between various spirit fields. having served the sect for many years and earned trust, wang shitou was a suitable candidate to become the hall master of the cultivation field hall. meng zhang hoped that this move would alleviate daoist clear spirit's burden. despite having several sources of minerals, the output of the spirit fields remained taiyi sect's most crucial source of income. more importantly, an ample supply of spirit rice was essential for the cultivation of sect disciples. meng zhang, as a foundation building cultivator, no longer required ordinary spirit rice and merely indulged in it occasionally for the taste. however, the majority of disciples in the sect still relied on it. given the significance of the spirit fields, meng zhang paid particular attention to them. after inspecting various places within the sect, meng zhang mounted the red feathered eagle and began to survey taiyi sect's territory. throughout the oases within the territory, some old disciples who had left the sect were helping to guard them, and overall, there were no major issues. due to meng zhang's repeated efforts to bring in new people from outside and the annexation of other oases, the population under taiyi sect's rule had increased significantly, leading to a thorough change in the population structure.
