Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

The patriarch Zhang Dashan said: "Everyone, now that the improvement of the overall realm strength of our Zhang family has come to an end, everyone can just stabilize their own realm. Since our family has many new members of the Foundation Establishment realm, we will discuss it now and strive for it. Decide on the candidates for the new elders in charge. Fan'er, you are the young clan leader and you know something about the newly promoted Foundation Establishment Realm clan members, so please share your opinion first."

Zhang Chaofan said: "I only know their state of mind when they were promoted, but I don't know other aspects of their character, abilities, etc. I can only tell you about their state of mind for your reference. Their specific state of mind is as follows. of:

1. Zhang Chaoshen, who attains Dzogchen in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm;

2. Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Chaolong, two people in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm;

3. Zhang Jinshan, Zhang Ziqi, and Zhang Chaoyuan are in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm;

4. Zhang Huashan, Zhang Huangshan, and Zhang Songshan are the three men stationed in the late stage of the Lingshi Mine Foundation Construction Realm.

5. There are a total of 1,186 others in the early stage of foundation building realm;

Generally speaking, our Zhang family currently has one Dzogchen in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, five in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and three in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Among them, five are already middle-aged and four are young. . These are the specific conditions of those who are in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and above, while the remaining more than a thousand Foundation Establishment Realm tribesmen are only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The general situation of people in the Family Foundation Establishment Realm is like this. The elders can use it as a reference when making decisions. "

The patriarch Zhang Dashan said to the ancestor Zhang Zongtian: "Ancestor, the family now has a total of nine clansmen who are above the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Do you think it is appropriate to have only nine elders in charge, or a few more?" The ancestor Zhang Zongtian Said: "The steward elders are the real managers of our family. There are many affairs in the family. If there are few steward elders, the management may not be in place. I personally suggest that it is more appropriate to set up twelve steward elders. Chaofan just introduced the nine mid-stage foundation-building realm Clan members and above can be considered as natural candidates. It is not difficult to select the remaining three places among the tribesmen in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Do you think it is better to select directly by us, or to select through competition and qualifications? Okay?"

Clan leader Zhang Dashan said: "In my opinion, we first directly select ten clansmen in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and then let these ten clansmen in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm compete with each other. In this way, the scale of competition is not that big and there can be fair competition. ." Great Elder Zhang Gaoshan said: "I personally think that the patriarch's method of direct selection and competition is very good. It not only reflects the unified planning of the family, but also does not lack fair competition. This method is excellent, I agree." The ancestor Zhang Zongtian and everyone agreed to use this method to select candidates.

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally decided on the next elder in charge, who will be led by the elders who are in the mid-level Foundation Establishment realm and above, and assisted by the younger ones, so that the young people can manage less family affairs and have more time to practice. growing up. This is more conducive to improving the overall strength of the family and is in line with the long-term interests of the family. Finally, it was agreed that Zhang Qingshan would be the next great elder, and the order of Zhang Jinshan, Zhang Huashan, Zhang Huangshan, Zhang Songshan, Zhang Chaolong, Zhang Chaoshen, Zhang Ziqi, and Zhang Chaoyuan would be designated as the second to ninth elders, and the following candidates would be added. Go up.

After careful discussion and comprehensive consideration of various factors such as the character, training qualifications, handling abilities, and development prospects of the clan members in the early stage of the family foundation building realm, we finally determined the ten candidates for the preliminary round. They are Zhang Yuanshan, Zhang Qianshan, and Zhang Xinshan. , Zhang Yangshan, Zhang Houshan, Zhang Yuanshan, Zhang Guangshan, Zhang Shishan, Zhang Changshan, Zhang Youshan and other ten people. After the election, the patriarch Zhang Dashan asked the ten people to be brought to the main hall, explained the situation to them, and asked them to compete for the positions of the three steward elders.

Then, the current elder Zhang Gaoshan led ten people to the clan's martial arts field for a two-on-one battle. Each player needs to play nine games, all of which are clicked to the end. After nine games, they are sorted by the number of wins. After playing nine games, the results of the battle were obtained, specifically: Zhang Yuanshan won nine games, followed closely by Zhang Yangshan with eight games and Zhang Guangshan with seven games. Ranking based on the number of wins, those at the bottom will lose their qualifications to compete and will not compete for the position of steward elder. The great elder Zhang Gaoshan reported the results of the battle to the main hall. Everyone in the main hall conducted a comprehensive investigation and understanding of the three people's situations. They were convinced that the three people's character and abilities were the best among the ten, so they followed the previous battle results. The ranking determined Zhang Yuanshan as the tenth elder, Zhang Yangshan as the eleventh elder, and Zhang Guangshan as the twelfth elder. So far, the candidates for the twelve new steward elders of the Zhang family have been determined.

Immediately afterwards, the patriarch Zhang Dashan said: "Now that the candidates for the new steward elders have been determined, let's identify twenty-four ordinary elders. In this way, each steward elder can be assigned two ordinary elders to assist in work and management. The family affairs they are in charge of. The seven early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm tribesmen who were not selected just now can be given priority, and then seventeen people will be selected from the remaining early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm tribesmen. These people can be directly determined.

In order to put a certain amount of pressure on the ordinary elders, the Supervisory Committee conducts an annual evaluation of the current elders. Every year, the top ten ordinary elders ranked in the evaluation results are selected for election among the tribesmen in the early stage of the family foundation building realm. The top three ordinary elders can also challenge the steward elder they choose. If the ordinary elder wins, he can replace the steward elder he defeated. A elimination system is implemented, elders can be promoted or dismissed, and positions are not tenured. What do you think of this approach? "Everyone thought this plan was good and unanimously approved it. The ancestor Zhang Zongtian praised: "Da Shan, this plan is very good. In doing so, every member of the management team in the family must fulfill their duties and work with all their heart, and must not cheat on others. When there is pressure, there is motivation, and when there is competition, there is progress. Dashan, you, the clan leader, are doing better and better. It seems that I was right about you at the beginning. Keep working hard. I will support you unconditionally. "Clan leader Zhang Dashan said with some pride in his tone: "Thank you for the compliment, ancestor. "

Then, the patriarch Zhang Dashan announced that everyone can recommend candidates they think are suitable ordinary elders for inspection and selection by the family's top brass. As a result, everyone recommended the candidates they recognized. Later, a tally showed that there were as many as 20 candidates recommended by the senior management present. After everyone discussed for a while, they made a selection and after eliminating three candidates, seventeen The candidate for an ordinary elder was determined. So far, all the candidates for the Zhang family's management team have been determined.

At this time, the ancestor Zhang Zongtian said: "Our Zhang family's strength has greatly increased now. In terms of strength, we may be able to join the first-class families in Bayuan City. However, generally speaking, our Zhang family still has a shallow foundation and a weak foundation. We We cannot afford to slack off or be complacent at all, we all need to redouble our efforts so that our family can achieve greater development and reach a higher level in the near future."

The patriarch Zhang Dashan ordered the stewards on duty outside the palace to summon the seventeen ordinary elders who were selected. After a while, the seventeen people who were summoned came to the family hall one after another. When the patriarch Zhang Dashan saw that everyone had arrived, he said to everyone: "Everyone, our family has ushered in a great development and progress. The family management has made a major adjustment. Not only has an elders' council been established, it is also responsible for managing the family. For the daily affairs of the family, a board of supervisors has also been established to supervise and check various affairs of the family. Of course, it is mainly responsible for supervising and evaluating the elders. The elders are composed of three types of personnel, namely elders (including steward elders and ordinary elders) ), the patriarch and the young patriarch. There are twelve steward elders in the first class, who are standing members of the Presbyterian Council and are responsible for handling the daily affairs of the family. Two ordinary elders assist the steward elders in managing the family affairs in their charge;

Another type of ordinary elders can only make reasonable suggestions and contribute ideas for family construction when convening a plenary meeting of the family elders' meeting, but they do not participate in decision-making. Only when a plenary meeting of the Presbyterian Council is convened can one express their views and opinions for reference in family decision-making. Once their suggestions and opinions are adopted by the family and contribute to the development of the family, the family will give certain rewards as appropriate. Normally assist the specific stewards and elders in charge.

There is also a type of Keqing elders. Keqing elders are elders hired by the family for a certain relationship or a specific matter. This type of elder is only responsible for a certain project or a certain matter and cannot participate in family decision-making, but can express opinions on individual matters. and opinions for family decision-making reference. Once their suggestions and opinions are adopted by the family and contribute to the development of the family, the family will give certain rewards as appropriate.

The patriarch is the actual leader of the Presbyterian Council, presides over the meetings of the Presbyterian Council, and has the final say on matters discussed by the Presbyterian Council. The Presbyterian Council needs to be responsible to the patriarch. Under the authorization of the patriarch, the great elder is responsible for the daily work of the Presbyterian Church, actually handles the daily affairs of the Presbyterian Church, and realizes the daily management of the entire family. The Young Patriarch is also a member of the Council of Elders, and his authority is higher than that of the Great Elder. The Young Patriarch may exercise all or part of the duties of the Patriarch if authorized by the Patriarch or in the absence of the Patriarch.

Members of the Board of Supervisors have the right to attend the meetings of the Presbyterian Council, but are not allowed to interfere with the proceedings of the Presbyterian Council or influence the decisions of the Presbyterian Council meetings. They are only responsible for supervision. The Board of Supervisors is composed of the family ancestors, clan leaders, young clan leaders, and all the Supreme Elders and Guest Supreme Elders. The patriarch is the nominal head of the board of supervisors, but the ancestor is the actual head of the board of supervisors and is responsible for the daily affairs of the board of supervisors. The current Grand Elder has the right to attend meetings of the Board of Supervisors. "

The ancestor Zhang Zongtian said: "The new supreme elders who have just been promoted from the elders in charge should do a good job of handing over the work with the new elders in charge. They should spend more time on the business to lead the area and teach them so that the newcomers can get familiar with the family as soon as possible. Don’t hide your affairs, put the interests of the family first in everything, everyone, remember, remember. When the Elders Council is obviously short of manpower, the members of the Board of Supervisors must take the initiative to provide support regardless of personal gains and losses." All the new Supreme Elders nodded in agreement, and all Acknowledged.

The patriarch Zhang Dashan ordered the former great elder Zhang Gaoshan, together with the new great elder Zhang Qingshan, to seize the time and make everyone's new identity token as soon as possible. Notify family members of the adjustment in family management and post notices in conspicuous places so that everyone can be informed in a timely manner. Send people as soon as possible to inform all the families and forces about the competition, so that all the families and forces in the town can prepare to send personnel to participate. As agreed at the meeting, a dedicated person will be responsible for sorting out a detailed competition rules and submitting them to the Presbyterian Council for review and approval. The experienced former Grand Elder Zhang Gaoshan was assigned the specific responsibility for sorting out the competition rules.

The patriarch Zhang Dashan once again said to everyone: "Please discuss it, which members of the family are more suitable to form a team to participate in the competition? As the current patriarch, I must participate." Zhang Chaofan said: "Young players, it is up to me Just participate with the four newly promoted young stewards and elders. The five of us are also the five strongest among the younger generation of the family. If everyone has no different opinions, then the young people’s qualifications belong to the five of us. Others. Let us discuss and decide on the candidate." The ancestor Zhang Zongtian said: "The supreme elders will be Zhang Zongguang and Zhang Zongyuan, and it is more suitable for Zhang Gaoshan to host the competition." The patriarch Zhang Dashan said: "The elders will be Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Zongyuan. Huashan will play as a regular player, and Zhang Huangshan and Zhang Songshan will be substitutes."

In this way, after everyone's discussion, the members of the Zhang family's participating team were determined during the discussion. They are: the patriarch: Zhang Dashan; the two supreme elders: Zhang Zongguang and Zhang Zongyuan; the two steward elders: the great elder Zhang Qingshan, The second elder Zhang Jinshan; five young team members: Zhang Chaofan, Zhang Chaoshen, Zhang Chaolong, Zhang Ziqi, and Zhang Chaoyuan. In addition, two substitutes, Zhang Huangshan and Zhang Songshan. Together with the substitutes, a total of 12 people successfully formed a team.

The Zhang family's participating team has been formed. It is now the end of April, and there are still twelve days until the selected start date of May 10th. Everyone can train to cooperate with each other. Team members who only participate in individual competitions compete in pairs to hone their combat skills, discover deficiencies, make up for them, and improve their combat effectiveness. The younger team members not only competed against each other to improve their own strength and combat skills, but also formed a team to compete with the remaining five Supreme Elders as a sparring team to practice their mutual cooperation skills. The main practice is to practice a tactic in which Zhang Chaofan is the main attacker and the other four assists. As soon as the two teams come into contact, Zhang Chaofan uses the Taixu Confusion Step to hide his body, approaches a member of the opponent's team, and suddenly throws the Binding Immortal. Rope to tie up one of the opponent's players. Zhang Chaofan attacked another opponent at lightning speed. When the opponent reacted, many acupuncture points had been sealed and the opponent was controlled on the ground. Then use the other four people to deal with the remaining three of the opponent, forming an absolute advantage in numbers, while Zhang Chaofan is looking for opportunities on the side. After just a few rounds of fighting, the five members of Taishang Elder's sparring team were quickly subdued to the ground by Zhang Chaofan and others.

After ten days of such training, everyone has improved greatly. The five young people cooperated very skillfully and tacitly. However, after these ten days of fighting, the five members of Taishang Elder's sparring team were tortured beyond human form. They never gained an advantage or an accidental victory in any battle. After many days of working together, Zhang Chaofan and his five-person team have become more proficient in their cooperation. On May 9th, everyone stopped training and went to the competition venue to inspect the conditions and familiarize themselves with the venue in advance. Then, everyone dispersed and returned to their families to rest.

I haven't been with sister Yun'er for several days. As soon as he came back from the competition, Zhang Chaofan immediately returned to his small courtyard. He was eager to see his sister Yun'er. Seeing Lin Xiaoyun still practicing hard in the training room alone, he did not bother her while she was practicing. He just used the Taixu Purple Gold Immortal Eye to look at Lin Xiaoyun and found that Lin Xiaoyun would soon reach the late stage of Dan Condensation. Complete. Zhang Chaofan secretly sighed in his heart: "I have only been away for a few days, and sister Yun'er has already reached the perfection of the late stage of Dan Condensation. If we come back after the game, sister Yun'er will not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and become a Are you the real ancestor of Nascent Soul?! What kind of cultivation talent and qualifications is this! Compared with me, this person from a big place in the city is different, he can really be regarded as a genius."
