As Yi Xuwen spoke, he observed the reactions of several elders. Seeing their impassive faces, he did not intend to let them off but instead addressed Sun Xiqi, “Elder Sun, this time, our National Master Manor has obtained such a high share of the benefits from the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm largely because of your significant contribution. You’ve also put in the effort, so I’d like to hear your opinion. How do you think we should divide the spoils?”

Filled with apparent lethargy and looking listless, Sun Xiqi replied, “It’s entirely up to the Mansion Master; I have no objections.”

Yi Xuwen nodded, and although he didn’t say anything further, the others could sense that he seemed very pleased with Sun Xiqi’s response.

Yi Xuwen did not stop there but turned his attention to Cheng Daoran, asking, “Elder Cheng, what is your opinion?”

Cheng Daoran had recently been promoted to a Master of the Nascent Soul Stage. Even before his promotion, he had always been Yi Xuwen’s favorite disciple. Even now, the bond of teacher and student still existed between them. He quickly replied, “My opinion is the same as Elder Sun’s; I have no objection. Everything is up to the Mansion Master. Whatever you decide, I will follow.”

Yi Xuwen then looked at the Elder sitting to his right—Li Che from the National Master Manor, a practitioner at the high end of the First Level of the Nascent Soul Stage. In terms of power, he ranked second within the National Master Manor. However, the gap between this ‘second’ and Yi Xuwen’s ‘first’ was huge. Before Yi Xuwen could even ask him, he said, “Mansion Master, don’t you know me by now? I’ve always followed your commands. Whatever you say goes.”

Now, of the five people in the Council Hall, only Qi Tian had not made any statement. Yi Xuwen’s gaze finally settled on him, waiting for Qi Tian to make his stance clear.

Qi Tian spoke with a nonchalant expression, “My demands aren’t high. I only hope that the Mansion Master will ensure fairness when formulating the distribution plan; everything else is negotiable.”

Yi Xuwen chuckled and responded, “Since everyone has unanimously pushed me to formulate the distribution plan, I’ll share my thoughts. If there’s anything inappropriate, everyone can speak up, and there’s still time for revisions.”

The audience once again fell silent, waiting for Yi Xuwen to announce his plan.

After Yi Xuwen cleared his throat and looked around at everyone once more, he reveled in the feeling of having full control of the situation. The reason he cultivated to the Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage and still refused to leave Wanjie City to seek opportunities to break through to higher levels was precisely because of this sensation. After a moment, he began, “My proposal is as follows: haven’t we obtained twelve portions of the spoils from the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm? First, we should set aside two portions as public resources of the National Master Manor, to be used for nurturing our junior disciples. I assume there are no objections to this point?”

Everyone shook their heads together. Even Qi Tian, who had only joined the National Master Manor in Wanjie City a few days ago as a new Elder, understood the importance of nurturing newcomers. There was a unanimous consensus on this issue, with nothing to debate.

Yi Xuwen continued, “As for the remaining ten portions, I plan to divide them like this: I am faced with a new breakthrough and need a substantial amount of cultivation resources. As the Mansion Master, I am the pillar of our National Master Manor. My strength signifies the strength of the National Master Manor, and my weakness implies the weakness of the National Master Manor. The interests involved here are very clear. Therefore, I must seize every opportunity to achieve a new breakthrough as soon as possible. If I manage to advance to the high end of the Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage, then our National Master Manor’s voice in Wanjie City can also be enhanced. I believe everyone supports this. Thus, I think it should be reasonable for me to take half of the ten portions to support my new breakthrough, and everyone should be able to understand my approach. The remaining five portions will be divided as follows: Elder Li gets two portions; everyone knows how hard he works on a regular basis, and it’s thanks to his diligent management that our National Master Manor operates smoothly, so it’s only natural for him to take two portions. The last three portions, one for Elder Sun, one for Elder Cheng, and one for the fifth Elder, who has not yet reached the Nascent Soul Stage and is still a good distance from it. Perhaps it would be better to keep your share within the National Master Manor, reserved for you; once you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, it can all be transferred to you. Of course, if you feel more secure having it in your own hands, then by all means let the Manor exchange it for cultivation resources that you can use now. Elder Cheng and the other Elders, what do you think of this plan I’ve put forth? Is it fair?”

Cheng Daoran was the first to jump out, eagerly stating, “Mansion Master, I think your plan is very fair and just. I fully support it and have no objections.”

Of course, he would have no objections. He hadn’t exerted any effort or paid any price in the struggle for the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm spoils, yet he unconditionally received a share of the profits. What could he be dissatisfied with?

“Mansion Master, I also have no objections, your plan is very good.”

Li Che promptly followed, although he was not satisfied with Yi Xuwen’s greedy demand to take five portions for himself, he had no leverage to oppose him, especially since Yi Xuwen had taken his dignity into account and given him an extra share. If he resisted this plan, Yi Xuwen might well take back the additional portion he was offered.
