Mourning is not an easy job. As Ning Qingyu's only daughter, three years of filial piety cannot be missed in one day.

Not only Ning Zhong had to stay for three years, but even Ning Qingyu's disciples could not escape.

The word "master" is not called for nothing. When it comes to filial piety, the apprentice and son are treated the same as the same thing, and the process that should be taken must be completed.

As for other fellow disciples, according to the tradition of the Huashan School, the head of the sect died and mourned for a hundred days, and no marriage or birthday banquets are allowed within one year.

This is already the highest standard, and only the leader who has achieved success during his reign can enjoy it. At the same time, this is also the limit that the sects of the martial arts world can bear. If the filial piety period is longer, it will affect the normal development of the sect.

There is no way. During the filial piety period, you cannot go out to socialize or organize gatherings, so it is inconvenient to do anything.

For a large force, if it does not come out of the world for several consecutive years, its influence in the world will be weakened.

Cold treatment and desalination of presence are also a way to attack competitors. For the upright family, being forgotten is undoubtedly pathetic.

Many sects have obviously declined, but they still have to send people to participate in martial arts activities just to show their presence.

Maintaining a sense of existence is not only for reputation, but also for tangible interests.

For example, only a well-known sect can be easily collected for protection fees. No matter which one passerby, they will visit the pier first when they arrive at the ground.

The so-called hidden sect only exists in my imagination. As far as Li Mu knows, there are indeed many hidden sects in the world, but they are basically on the verge of extinction and have nothing to do with strength.

Occasionally, a few geniuses are just a reflection of the future. Without territory and resources, what can I use to cultivate disciples?

A sect that cannot guarantee the stable output of experts will not be able to survive for a long time in this world. It is either destroyed or falls quietly without rest.

Because Li Mu had not yet married, he escaped the disaster and only needed to follow many fellow disciples to serve filial piety for a hundred days.

"Junior sister, please beg for the change!"

Li Mu said helplessly.

Rules are rules. Now it is the filial piety period, so he can't do anything. Even when he comes to visit, he can't stay for a long time.

As for taking Ning Zhongze out to relax, he didn't even think about it. He could kill people even if he had the reputation of "unfilial piety".

...

No matter what, life always has to be lived. Li Mu was in a bad mood and vented his anger on the disciples of the training sect.

As the head of a sect, he has no problem in guiding the disciples in the sect to practice. Even if the requirements are a little strict, it is understandable.

Looking at the elders' happy expressions all day long, you know that Li Mu's training is effective. Watching the emergence of many talents of disciples is undoubtedly a physical and mental pleasure.

Less than two years after the end of the war between good and evil, the overall strength of the Huashan Sect has returned to its peak, and the number of first-class players has hit a new high.

But immediately afterwards, new problems followed. Before the Qing generation had retreated, the B-sen generation had already grown up, which was also an impact on the power structure of the sect.

Now, the problem seems to be small. As a junior, the disciples of the "No" generation who have just entered the center of power have not yet had the courage to fight with their teachers.

Even in the most conservative world, there is a serious generation gap between young people and middle-aged and elderly people.

In a short period of time, differences can be suppressed by the identities of elders, but conflicts will arise sooner or later over time.

Similar problems have not appeared in the history of the Huashan School, but they have never been as sharp as they are now.

In the original work, Yue Buqun claims to be a middle-aged man, and it is not entirely modest. At this time, the Huashan School was indeed at the upper level, and was considered a talent but could not catch up with the top wave.

Without the inclination of resources in the door, and relying solely on normal resource supply, those who can break through first-class before the age of 30 are all super potential stocks.

I don’t know whether I can break through the top, but when the original plot unfolds, I will definitely not be weaker than Yue Buqun at that time.

There is no such luck as two generations of talents in a row. Looking at the entire martial arts world, it is difficult to find cases that can be learned from.

Coupled with Li Mu's random troubles, the rise of the "No" generation has accelerated the conflict and advanced the conflict.

If it weren't for the recent period that senior brothers kept complaining in their ears that the elders were domineering and did not care about their opinions at all, Li Mu wouldn't know that the problem was so serious.

Even if I know, Li Mu, the head of the sect, could do nothing.

Just like these senior brothers who often complain, they just dare to report in front of themselves, and they are still good kids in front of their elders, and Li Mu is also cowardly.

The majesty of the head is only useful when dealing with major matters in the sect. In normal times, the elders of the master sect are elders. As long as they do not make principled mistakes, the head sect can only respect them.

Of course, the head still has preferential treatment, and the elders treat him very kindly, and they discuss things when encountering them, which gives Li Mu enough face.

These senior brothers were in trouble. They had obviously improved their status, but they were still no different from ordinary disciples when they went out to do tasks with their masters, uncles and uncles.

If you are willing to seek opinions, it is reasonable. More of them are habitual and direct decisions, without taking into account their feelings at all.

In addition to transforming into a spiritual tutor to do ideological work for them and fooling everyone to practice hard, Li Mu had no choice but to use the method of painting cakes.

I promise to all the senior brothers that after everyone gets familiar with their business abilities for a while, they will separate their tasks from their elders.

As for how long this "after a while", it depends on the specific situation. It can be as short as two or three years, and it can't be said that it will take ten or eight years.

The ideal state is to quickly adapt to the environment, replace the elders to work hard outside, and the older generation will return to the mountains to retire.

It’s very embarrassing now. There are many top-notch players among the generations, but most of them are still in the early stages.

Only Cai and Yao had a good combat effectiveness. One of them was still mourning on the mountain, and the only seedling left was to be used as a livestock, so he couldn't take care of it!

Without the Qing generation, they were only bullied when they came to the world. In this case, they were destined to have to endure it first.

The most tragic thing is that in recent times, elders have particularly liked to "support juniors" and have to bring in a few disciples almost every time they go out.

If there are outstanding disciples in the sect, they will naturally take their disciples with them. If they don’t have one, they will take their nephew out.

Li Mu very much suspected that they were showing off on purpose. The focus of being in the world is on face. When they were gathering with their old friends, they directed their juniors who were close to their strength to do odd jobs. You can imagine that scene.

The elders are comfortable, but it is hard to say what the younger generation is feeling. Except for those who are good at socializing, the rest are all embarrassment.

Sometimes I am confused and don’t know what’s going on, but suddenly I have another fiancée.

Before I could travel around the world and get the love of the female heroes, I locked in the marriage grave first. I said that feeling too much, just tears.

Li Mu has participated in similar activities several times before. However, he was lucky and jumped fast enough to become the head of the Huashan School.

Deep in my heart, Li Mu has already paid silence for these senior brothers more than once. If you want to be free from it, then work hard to practice!

The world is the most realistic place. As long as you have improved your strength, everything will be different.

...

The two Sword Qi Sects are gone, but the status of the Sword Qi Chongxiao Hall is still unabated. The only difference is that the meeting hall has become larger. The hall that originally accommodated more than fifty was a little crowded, but now a hundred people can put it aside.

Frankly speaking, the current power structure of the Huashan faction is not reasonable. As the number of people participating in the deliberation continues to increase, the efficiency of deliberation will only continue to decrease.

It's just that Li Mu is not going to solve this problem for the time being. At least before the Qing generation retired, he is not going to make major changes to the sect architecture.

As long as it does not affect the development of the sect, it will take more than ten years of effort, and endurance will pass.

After glanced at everyone, Li Mu said with a smile: "Under the protection of his ancestors and the joint efforts of all the teachers and brothers, our Huashan School has become more and more prosperous in recent years.

Five years have passed since the last big mountain gate opened. If it weren't for the war between good and evil, we should have opened the mountain gate to absorb new blood and inherited our Huashan Taoist tradition.

Now that the situation has stabilized, I decided to open the mountain gate in the near future and recruit a group of disciples to get started. I wonder what your intentions are?"

Recruiting disciples may be the least controversial proposal.

In the battle between good and evil, the Huashan Sect also lost a lot of manpower. The outer disciples have been replenished and even expanded, but there are very few substitute inner disciples.

In addition to the losses caused by the Demon Cult attack on the mountain gate in the past few years, the number of inner disciples of the Huashan Sect has actually dropped to the lowest point in nearly twenty years.

If we don’t recruit people, we might have a talent gap in thirty or forty years.

Elder Yang, the oldest, stood up and said, "Absorbing new blood and inheriting our Mount Hua Taoist tradition is the only meaning.

But I don’t know how many inner disciples the head of the sect is planning to recruit this time? Will the Buzi generation also want to open the mountain gate?"

"Considering the heavy losses of the inner disciples before, I plan to expand the enrollment slightly this time, with a tentative goal of recruiting 120 to 150 people.

The admission conditions are still the same as before, according to the principle of preferring to lack of insignificance:

Selected disciples must have a clean life experience, aged between 7 and 10 years old, and then pass the qualification (root), character and perseverance assessment to be admitted. The minimum requirement is that all three items are of the best.

I am waiting for the disciples of the Buzi generation. The most important thing now is to improve my cultivation. If I don’t have the energy to distract myself, I will still have to worry about you. This time I will trouble you all the teachers and commanders.”

Li Mu also thought about this decision after careful consideration. Practicing martial arts is never an easy job, especially in the world of low martial arts, where he has higher requirements for qualifications and perseverance.

Taoist sects like the Huashan School also need to test their core nature. If they are not satisfied with their minds and nature, their achievements will be destined to be limited in the future, and recruiting them will also be a waste of resources.

Although the child's character has not yet been finalized and the assessment is not necessarily accurate now, it can also reduce the cost of trial and error to a certain extent.

The main reason is that it is limited by resources and cannot take the route of casting a wide net, and can only be strictly required from the beginning.

It can be said that every inner disciple selected now is selected according to the standards of cultivating first-class experts. Unfortunately, the one who can really break through to first-class is less than one-tenth.

Yang Qinghua smiled bitterly and said, "The leader, there is no problem in expanding the recruitment of inner disciples. Thanks to the expansion of the sphere of influence in the sect, the profit this year should be 30% or 50% higher than in previous years.

But should we consider the matter of opening the mountain gate for the B-sen disciples? We are already old and really don’t have the energy to take care of our disciples.”

These days, apprentices are not randomly collected. They have to be responsible for their entry into the wall. From the beginning to the beginning, it will take more than ten years at the earliest.

As the oldest being among the Qing generation, next month is Yang Qinghua’s 67th birthday.

Among their disciples, two of them have broken through the first-class level, and the disciples behind them have not had hope of breakthroughs. It is enough to inherit their own legacy.

If the Huashan Sect still remains prosperous, according to previous practice, Yang Qinghua will retreat and become a senior in the next two or three years.

Li Mu naturally knew about these situations, but the disciples of the Buzi generation are now in a time of rapid progress in martial arts. If they accept disciples now, they will inevitably distract their energy.

"Master Yang, you are clear about the situation you said. Many of you are old and are indeed not suitable to accept disciples.
