In the resting courtyard for alliance officials, within Li Ping’an’s room.

“This Sea Watch Sect really has quite a few problems,”

Li Ping’an, with his arms crossed, stood in front of a homemade blackboard, looking at the analysis chart he drew, and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

Ye Zisang held a handful of spirit-fruit seeds and cracked them noisily, while Senior Xu Sheng carefully cleaned the Cangyue Bead placed on the ‘Peerless Precious Jade Rack’ with a handkerchief.

Li Ping’an said softly, “Last-place expulsion…

I never expected that I would witness such a thing with my own eyes.”

Xu Sheng laughed and sighed, “The issues with Sea Watch Sect haven’t sprung up just recently.

Many of the Immortal Sprouts have been wasted by the ways of the Sea Watch Sect, and how many talented youths can break through every realm with unstoppable momentum, always ahead of the others?

Besides, in the pursuit of cultivation, sometimes haste does not bring success.”

Ye Zisang wondered, “Hasn’t anyone managed the Sea Watch Sect before?”

“Those are their sect rules, how can outsiders intervene?” Xu Sheng murmured on the side.

“This must be stopped.”

Li Ping’an threw the chalk down, turned around, and walked back to his seat to sit down, with his hands tucked in his sleeves, his eyes filled with contemplation.

Xu Sheng approached like an ‘old man taking his bird for a walk in the park,’ holding the jade rack and Cangyue Bead with his left hand, and chuckled as he came over.

“Ping’an, what exactly are your thoughts regarding this Sea Watch Sect?”

“What do you mean by my thoughts?”

“Are you planning to take it down?”

“Taking it down is not realistic,” Li Ping’an said with a hint of helplessness, “We are not Demon Cultivators, how should we take down another’s sect?”

Xu Sheng, full of puzzlement, asked, “Then what are you stirring up here?”

“Of course, it’s for the disciples of Sea Watch Sect to strive for a better future by reforming the Sea Watch Sect,” Li Ping’an declared.

His eyes were very clear:

“I am seriously working on this.”

Xu Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle, “Aren’t they rivals of the Wanyun Sect?”

“They were in the past, not necessarily now,”

Li Ping’an lifted his chin towards the blackboard with a smile,

“I just analyzed it and, not counting the outer disciples of Sea Watch Sect, the core disciples are mainly divided into four categories, with evident hierarchical divisions.

“The first tier includes the Vice Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall, the founding ancestor’s lineage, which consists of the first to sixth elders, and three-tenths of the Sea Watch Sect’s Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals, who occupy three-tenths of the disciples yet enjoy six-tenths of the cultivation resources.

“The second tier is composed of three Golden Immortals’ ancestral lineages, taking up the positions of the seventh to twelfth elders, and including four-tenths of the Sea Watch Sect’s disciples, using three-tenths of the cultivation resources.

“The third tier belongs to the lineages of several Supreme Elders, lacking Golden Immortal tutelage and elder positions, accounting for three-tenths of the disciples but only enjoying one-tenth of the cultivation resources.

“The fourth category comprises Loose Cultivators who have sought refuge with the sect, and these individuals must provide for themselves.”

“Ah?”

Xu Sheng, with eyes wide open, asked, “Why is the third tier so pitiful?”

Ye Zisang explained, “I know about this.

Those Supreme Elders were originally ancestors of other sects that were merged into Sea Watch Sect.

They all have the strength of first or second-tier Heavenly Immortals.

The third tier’s disciples have always toiled hard but with little reward in cultivation resources.”

Li Ping’an said, “I’ve already asked two of our envoys to investigate their accounts.”

Xu Sheng inquired, “Are you planning to divide and conquer?”

“That’s the general idea,” Li Ping’an said, “To elevate the second tier, suppress the first, and redistribute a large portion of the first tier’s cultivation resources to the second and third tiers.”

Ye Zisang pondered for a while and then smiled, “Indeed, backing the disciples of the three Golden Immortals is more beneficial.”

Li Ping’an’s fingers gently tapped on the table surface as he spoke slowly, “This matter should not be rushed.

It should be handled over half a year’s time.

Brother Ye, I’ll leave these tasks to you.”

Ye Zisang stood up, bowed with hands clasped, and earnestly said, “Your subordinate obeys the order!”

Li Ping’an spoke quickly,

“First, using the alliance’s investigation of the Blood Fiend Hall as a pretext, schedule meetings every three days with the Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals from the founding ancestor’s lineage of Sea Watch Sect.

“After half a month, by claiming that the internal treasury of Sea Watch Sect has illegitimate sources, take control of Sea Watch Sect’s offering hall.

If this does not go smoothly, ask the alliance for help.

The alliance should have people skilled in examining accounts.

If you have friends, you can also call a group over to assist.

“Extract the cultivation resources held by the first tier and implement a strategy in Sea Watch Sect based on monthly provisions per realm.

“This might face some resistance; find a way to get the disciples from the second and third tiers to stand up against the first.”

“Yes!” Ye Zisang said with a solemn face, “Your subordinate will carry out the orders.”

He then sat back down to his original spot and returned to his usual playful demeanor.

Uncle Emperor Ye chuckled,

“I’ll write a letter at once, calling over a few friends with profound backgrounds, those that Sea Watch Sect wouldn’t dare to provoke!

“Once they hear it’s a summons from the Da Wu quasi-immortal, they’re likely to arrive by tomorrow!”

Li Ping’an:…

Descendants of the Human Race’s noble families, all about strict rules.

However, many of the Human Race’s current maladies still stem from these noble families.

“Ping’an,” Xu Sheng asked with a smile, “What should I do?

Don’t be shy, just tell me how I can be of use!”

“Senior needs not trouble himself; your presence here is a great help,”

Li Ping’an shifted the conversation:

“However, speaking of which, the alliance sent orders over this time, saying they want to reward us, but it was just a verbal commendation?”

“Otherwise?”

Ye Zisang asked softly, “Isn’t an Alliance Hierarch’s commendation enough?”

Li Ping’an was somewhat puzzled, “Is there not even the slightest bit of material reward?”

“Ah, this,” Ye Zisang thought for a moment, “Shall I ask my teacher?”

“Nevermind, nevermind,” Li Ping’an sighed, “I’m not specifically asking for something from the alliance, I just frankly feel that the reward and punishment system is not very clear.”

Xu Sheng seemed to have something to say but hesitated.
