Qualification

After spending nearly two hours planting the fields, Lin Xiao began to think about what he needed to do recently.

The first was the sect hall. This was impossible to forget, as there was still a pile of dug-up mud stacked in his private storage.

The second urgent matter was to earn spirit stones.

He was almost out of spirit stones to renew his fees.

The third was to make money.

Because of what happened last night, Lin Xiao thought a lot before going to bed.

With the development of the sect, the more people they recruited in the future, the more impossible it would be to limit themselves to Xiushui Village. If outsiders really joined the sect in the future, what they would eat and where they would live would both be problems.

People were not like the little demon chickens, for whom a thatched shed to shelter from the wind and rain was enough.

Therefore, the sect was bound to have its own money and provisions.

Realizing that in the near future he might have to start bearing the burden of many people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a massive headache.

Then there was one more thing, which was the division of tasks within the sect.

Such as the planting of spirit herbs.

Lin Xiao opened the sect member panel.

Speaking of which, when Tietou and the others joined earlier, he seemed to have forgotten to check the aptitudes of the three of them? Oh, and Fellow Daoist Little Luan's too.

Thinking this, he clicked on their details to check.

Name: Hu Liang

Gender: Male

Bone Age: 12 years old

Aptitude: Mediocre

Cultivation: Mortal

Sect Status: Outer Sect Disciple (Changeable)

Sect Position: None (Changeable)

Hmm, as expected of Tietou, who was all brawn and no brains. Lin Xiao nodded silently; the aptitude evaluation was very fair.

Name: Qin Jianghe

Gender: Male

Bone Age: 13 years old

Aptitude: Quite Ordinary

Cultivation: Mortal

Sect Status: Outer Sect Disciple (Changeable)

Sect Position: None (Changeable)

To think Qin Jianghe was actually quite ordinary... Lin Xiao rubbed his forehead and thought. He was usually quite smooth and tactful in his daily life. He didn't expect his aptitude to be like this. Perhaps this aptitude evaluation was only aimed at cultivation, and was a bit different from what was shown in everyday life.

Lin Xiao continued to look down.

Name: Liu Yunan

Gender: Male

Bone Age: 12 years old

Aptitude: Outstanding (Originally average, has been upgraded)

Cultivation: First level of Qi Refining

Sect Status: Outer Sect Disciple (Changeable)

Sect Position: None (Changeable)

Whoa!

What did he just see!

Aptitude: Outstanding (Originally average, has been upgraded)

Lin Xiao was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

So aptitude could actually be improved!

He wondered if his own aptitude still had room for improvement...

The last one, Fellow Daoist Little Luan.

Name: Luan

Gender: Female

Bone Age: 2 years old

Aptitude: One in a billion Luan bird bloodline, a fighter jet among pheasants

Cultivation: First level of Spirit Opening

Sect Status: Outer Sect Disciple (Changeable)

Sect Position: None (Changeable)

Lin Xiao was a little surprised.

This Fellow Daoist Little Luan actually had some Luan bird bloodline. Even though it was only one in a billion, and even though he didn't know how good the Luan bird bloodline was.

But for it to be specifically marked by the system, it shouldn't be ordinary.

Looking at everyone's panels, Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and began to modify their sect statuses and positions.

First was status. He uniformly changed all of them to Personal Disciples.

Anyway, there was no limit to the quota of Personal Disciples, right?

Next were the sect positions.

Lin Xiao first created a Teaching Elder position and assigned it to Sun Yigao.

Then he added a Financial Elder position and gave it to Qin Jianghe without hesitation.

Having known him for many years, Lin Xiao was very confident in Qin Jianghe's financial management abilities. He was particularly attentive to money, commonly known as being greedy.

But his moral character was guaranteed.

Immediately after, Lin Xiao added an Infrastructure Elder position and gave it to Tietou. In the future, Lin Xiao planned to hand over tasks like organizing mud digging and tree chopping to Tietou.

Then there was the Farming Elder. With only Jiang Youfu, Fellow Daoist Little Luan, Lin Yun, and Liu Yunan left, Lin Xiao decisively gave it to his older brother Lin Yun.

Among them, when it came to being a good farmer, his brother was definitely the best!

As for the rest of the people, Lin Xiao didn't have any good ideas for the time being, so he left them alone for now.

He would wait and see where there were suitable needs in the future.

Suddenly, a system notification sound appeared.

Ding! Congratulations on increasing the sect positions to five. Triggered task: Sect Member Salaries. A stable and sound institution requires stable interests to maintain it. Please rationally distribute salaries to all sect members as soon as possible.

Distribute salaries?

Only then did Lin Xiao remember. Great, in the future, not only would he have to figure out how to build the sect so that it could accommodate members, but he also had to pay everyone wages.

Realizing this, Lin Xiao instantly felt his head swell.

He couldn't just pay salaries in regular money, right? Or rather, he couldn't only pay regular money. As cultivators, their salaries should at least be something like spirit stones.

So the problem was, the spirit stones given by the tasks weren't even enough for himself and the sect's construction. What was he going to use to pay salaries?

Lin Xiao propped his chin up under the peach tree and spaced out.

Then he suddenly heard the system's emotionless voice ring out in his mind again.

Ding! Congratulations to sect member Sun Yigao for advancing to the first level of Qi Refining.

Lin Xiao smiled faintly.

What great news, Sun Yigao had also reached the first level of Qi Refining.

Now, the Lingxian Sect already had three cultivators at the first level of Qi Refining: Jiang Youfu, Liu Yunan, and Sun Yigao. Oh wait, it was four, there was also Little Luan.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt very gratified.

In just a few short days, the number of people in the sect who had stepped into the first level of Qi Refining had already exceeded half!

He had to say that their Xiushui Village was truly a place that produced outstanding people; there were quite a few people with high aptitude.

Then he thought again, he couldn't say that either. There were several hundred people in Xiushui Village, maybe only these few had good aptitude?

This was very likely the result of birds of a feather flocking together. After all, he himself was so outstanding!

Thinking like this, Lin Xiao felt that his motivation to build and develop the sect was fully replenished.

Make money, make money, make money!

Isn't it just making money!

It just so happened that tomorrow was the monthly market day in town.

As for spirit stones, heh heh, the sect was too poor, and everyone was still just ordinary mortals right now. Why ask for spirit stones as a salary when copper coins were perfectly fine?

Although he didn't even have a single copper coin right now, compared to only being able to earn spirit stones through tasks, the difficulty of obtaining copper coins was much lower.

However, thinking about how they were cultivators yet didn't even have a spirit stone salary, it really felt a bit lacking in prestige.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao thought of the Item Synthesizer he had unlocked earlier.

After unlocking it previously, he still hadn't had the time to study this function.

Therefore, Lin Xiao immediately opened the Item Synthesizer.

Speaking of which, this function was unlocked back when he was thinking about making a storage bag.

Since the system usually gave him things based on his thoughts and needs, this Item Synthesizer could most likely synthesize a storage bag.

As for how to synthesize it...

He first clicked to open the synthesizer.
