Chapter 76 Master and Disciple Plan for the Future
"Master intends to take Lin Pingzhi as a disciple?"
Yue Buqun tapped the table with the corner of his fan, and Li Che understood, respectfully sitting down at the lower end.
"To be honest, Young Master Lin's martial arts talent is indeed lacking, but this child is very sincere. After this ordeal, the Lin family wants to rely on Mount Hua for protection. If we don't take care of him, it will inevitably end in failure."
"Che'er, you're a quick-witted Ghost Lord...cough, and you're the next leader of Mount Hua. Tell me your thoughts."
Li Che: "Accept! Not only should we accept Lin Pingzhi, but we should also select those with outstanding talent to join us in the future. In my opinion, the key to the prosperity of Mount Hua lies in its people!"
"Oh? If qualifications are required, why accept Lin Pingzhi?"
Li Che silently organized his thoughts and then said, "Master, a hero needs three helpers. When accepting disciples, we should naturally prioritize their martial arts talent, but... special cases can be handled specially, and we can be a little more lenient."
For example, the Lin family runs a security escort business with a large workforce. They travel all over the country and are well-informed about all kinds of things in the martial arts world. Aren't they ready-made eyes and ears?
Of course, Master always treats everyone equally when teaching, and I see that Junior Brother Lin is also a grateful person.
This isn't really exploitation; it's a win-win situation.
Old Yue glanced at his beloved disciple indifferently; this kid always made people feel comfortable with his words.
Unexpectedly, Li Che added, "In my opinion, newly initiated junior brothers and sisters should not directly enter the inner sect, otherwise it would be unfair to the senior brothers who have already achieved some martial arts prowess."
Outer disciples who wish to enter the inner sect must undergo strict examinations and meet certain martial arts standards. This also serves to encourage disciples to practice their martial arts diligently.
Furthermore, the martial arts skills of outer disciples can be taught by inner disciples, so masters and mistresses won't need to be too tired.
Yue Buqun nodded silently, not expecting that a single sentence would lead to so many strategies. Now that the conversation had begun, he had to thoroughly explore the boy's knowledge.
"Excellent! Is there any more?"
"Yes!" Li Che glanced at Lao Yue and said, "This disciple believes that although we are one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, we are not necessarily bound by the sword!"
People are different; some are good at swordsmanship, some at palm techniques, and others at lightness skills, internal energy, etc.
For example, Junior Sister Huo, she originally trained in whip techniques. If she had a proper set of long whip skills, her martial arts progress might be even faster.
Old Yue glared at him. "Easy for you to say. The Huashan founder's teachings are mostly about swordsmanship. Where would you find these various martial arts techniques?"
Go touch it.
Li Che almost revealed the "Songyang Double Whip" given to him by his senior brother Deng, thinking that he should find time to see if he could modify it into the "Huashan Whip Technique".
"Furthermore, our Huashan sect focuses on internal energy cultivation. Do you think others can cultivate both sword and qi like you? If everyone only practices moves and doesn't seek internal energy cultivation, wouldn't they be following the old path of the Sword Sect?"
"Che'er, your idea is good, but the principle of controlling the sword with qi cannot be changed!"
Li Che had anticipated this argument. Objectively speaking, what Lao Yue said was not wrong, but the constraint lay in the internal strength of Mount Hua.
Let alone the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, even the Primordial Chaos Skill, there are only a handful of people on Mount Hua who have mastered it.
This is a deadlock, but Huashan can't wait twenty or thirty years; they need to get Yue Fei to agree first.
As for internal energy cultivation, Li Che recalled the Qi circulation method from the True Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.
Learning from this experience, it is possible to improve the Hunyuan Gong's meridian breakthrough.
After serving tea to his father, Li Che said, "I have also considered this matter."
In the future, as the number of disciples at Mount Hua increases, those wishing to enter the inner sect will be primarily assessed on their internal strength. Master, as the future patriarch of Mount Hua's revival, you may establish this rule.
Even inner disciples who are lazy or lazy can be demoted to outer disciples.
Regardless of age, outer disciples are all junior brothers of inner disciples.
Master, if the sect wants to grow and prosper, it must have rules and rewards and punishments.
There's no need to be overly strict, but you must instill ambition in your disciples, promoting the capable and demoting the incompetent.
In this way, Mount Hua will no longer experience a shortage of young talents.
"Mount Song has its Thirteen Protectors, so Mount Hua may very well have its Nine Swords!"
Old Yue's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.
Yue Buqun, the patriarch of the Huashan Mountain revival?
It sounds really pleasing to the ear!
Old Yue looked up at the dazzling starry sky outside the window and thought to himself, "Master, oh Master, your disciple is indeed inferior to my disciple!"
"Hmm, that's not entirely wrong. Do you have any other thoughts? Please continue."
besides?
What else?
Isn't this all there is to competitive job selection?
Li Che frowned and pondered for a long time... Wait, there really is one!
To grow and become stronger, people are the most important factor, but money is also essential.
Robin Hood... cough, the money they have to rob the rich to help the poor is limited, and Mount Hua's industries are still too weak.
However, we cannot act like the Songshan Sect, using our power to oppress others and seize things by trickery.
Being a bodyguard? That's beneath you!
This has put Mr. Li in a bit of a bind.
Li Che frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
I can't do it, but others might!
"Master, there is one more crucial matter!"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"silver!"
Old Yue: "."
"This disciple suggests that the number of special recruitment slots for outer disciples could be increased."
Take, for example, Junior Brother Lin, who is upright, has mediocre martial arts talent, but understands business acumen.
As more people join Mount Hua in the future, they will need money for food, clothing, and daily necessities. Since Mount Hua's resources are limited, it would be good to let these disciples manage Mount Hua's businesses.
Only in this way can a virtuous cycle be formed...
Li Che talked on and on for a full half hour, until his mouth was dry and his throat was parched.
Old Yue, fanning himself with a folding fan and sipping tea, offered nothing more than "Not bad," "Very good," and "Is there anything else?"
This time it's really gone...
"Che'er, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Yue Buqun praised with great satisfaction. Before Li Che could respond, he continued, "I have decided to appoint you as a personal disciple of Mount Hua. When you return to the mountain, I will grant you special privileges. The important task of reforming Mount Hua will be entrusted to you. Do not disappoint me!"
Li Che:
Why do I suddenly feel like I've returned to a past life and am being fed a cake by my boss?
So, even though they said they'd done the applying of the star-like pigments, I still have to do the actual work myself?!
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations!" Li solemnly stood up and made a solemn promise.
"Very good! It's getting late, Che'er should get some rest."
"This disciple takes his leave."
Li Che stepped out of the room, looking at the crescent moon in the sky with a weary expression, and let out a long sigh.
Just a door away, Old Yue sighed upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This child Che'er is so young, yet he always has Mount Hua in his heart. He is truly working tirelessly for him."
With such a successor, how can our sect not prosper!
It must be tough on him to bear such a heavy burden.
"Alright, let's establish some rules first when we return to Mount Hua. We can't let those mischievous brats become a hindrance to Che'er!"
Nothing more was said that night, and everyone from the Fuwei Escort Agency finally got a good night's sleep.
Those martial artists who hadn't gained anything weren't in a hurry to leave Fuzhou. They were still thinking of threatening the Lin family father and son after the Huashan master and his disciples left, hoping to gain something else.
To everyone's surprise, at noon the next day, the main gate of the Fuwei Escort Agency was wide open, with large red lanterns hanging high.
Several porters held up a new wooden sign and placed it at the entrance.
The inscription reads: "My son Pingzhi is now a disciple of Mount Hua! Today, the Lin family is hosting a grand banquet, and all friends from the martial arts world and passersby are welcome to enter and feast!"
"That damn Lin Zhennan really knows how to seize any opportunity!"
"Disgraceful! He's completely ruined Lin Yuantu's great reputation!"
"Brother, isn't that just a rumor?"
"Isn't the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual just a rumor?"
"Let's go. Look at Lin's character, he's just a businessman. I doubt we'll get anything out of him."
"Let's go, let's go. I heard that the Zhong family of the Songshan Sect got the sword manual and are making a hasty retreat north. Maybe we can catch up with them."
"How many lives do you have to dare to lay a hand on the Songshan Sect?"
"Can't I just go check out the show?!"
"Let's go, together!"
