Chapter 54 Reform of the Quanzhen School
"I think Zhiguang's suggestion is not without merit."
The one speaking at this moment was Qiu Chuji.
As everyone's attention turned to him, Qiu Chuji smiled and said:
"Our Quanzhen Sect has been established for more than 20 years."
Thanks to the efforts of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, we have finally increased the number of our disciples to over a hundred.
These hundred-odd people seem like a lot, but compared to the Shaolin Temple, which often has hundreds of monks, they are still far too few.
In these chaotic times, if our Quanzhen Sect wants to remain unchanged amidst all changes and ensure its survival, it needs to possess the power to protect itself.
If the contribution point system mentioned by Zhiguang is truly implemented, it will not only rapidly enhance the strength of the disciples but also strengthen the sect's foundation.
It can also enhance the sense of contribution and cohesion among disciples, which I think is worth a try.
Upon hearing this, Ma Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"If it weren't for Zhiguang's arrival to support us, today would be the day our Quanzhen Sect is destroyed."
The contribution point system proposed by Zhiguang can indeed quickly enhance the strength of his disciples.
I think this contribution point system is feasible, and it should even include the Twenty-Four Secrets of the Golden Gate and Jade Lock Technique, the Tonggui Sword Technique, the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Sword Technique, and the Three Flowers Gather at the Top Palm Technique from my Quanzhen Sect.
"this……"
Upon hearing that they would have to use all of their sect's best martial arts, the remaining Seven Masters of Quanzhen immediately changed their expressions.
It's just because they included Iron Palm Kung Fu and Water-Walking in the contribution point system reform.
They had no objection to the fact that this would quickly enhance the strength of the disciples and strengthen the sect's foundation.
After all, the Iron Palm skill and the ability to walk on water were acquired for nothing, so he didn't feel bad about selling his grandfather's land.
However, the Twenty-Four Secrets of the Golden Gate and Jade Lock, the Tonggui Sword Technique, the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Sword Technique, and the Three Flowers Gather at the Top Palm are all superior martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect.
Each of these martial arts techniques is comparable to the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin Temple, and is in no way inferior, which shows their preciousness.
But now Ma Yu is suggesting that it be brought out, which is sure to make the remaining Seven Masters of Quanzhen anxious.
"Junior brother, junior sister."
Reaching out to stop the anxious Seven Masters of Quanzhen, Ma Yu said in a deep voice:
"We've all seen firsthand how strong Qiu Qianren of the Iron Palm Clan is."
None of us could defeat him alone. Only the seven of us using the Big Dipper Formation could put up a fight against him. This shows just how powerful his Iron Palm Technique and Water-Walking Skill are.
Without exaggeration, these two martial arts are absolutely no less than any of the martial arts of my Quanzhen Sect. I estimate that only the Innate Skill can surpass them.
If all my disciples switch to practicing Iron Palm Kung Fu and Water-Walking, would my Quanzhen Sect still be the Quanzhen Sect? Wouldn't it just become the Iron Palm Sect?!
Upon hearing Ma Yu's words, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen fell silent.
This is because when comparing Iron Palm Kung Fu and Water Walking, especially Iron Palm Kung Fu...
Apart from the Innate Skill, no other martial art in their Quanzhen Sect can compare to the Iron Palm Skill.
If the Quanzhen Sect doesn't produce some real skills, its disciples will definitely switch to practicing Iron Palm Kung Fu.
At that point, the Quanzhen Sect might really have to change its name to the Iron Palm Sect.
"That's enough, that's enough."
Wang Chuyi shook his head and no longer objected to including their martial arts in the contribution point exchange list.
After all, his disciples Zhao Zhijing, Shen Zhifan, and others had essentially betrayed their sect back in the main hall.
Whenever he thought about this, Wang Chuyi felt like he was going to vomit blood in anger, cursing himself for being so foolish as to have taught such a disciple.
Therefore, Wang Chuyi, who felt immense guilt towards the Quanzhen Sect and wanted to make amends for his mistakes, was naturally the first to compromise.
After that, the other seven disciples of Quanzhen also fell silent and did not continue to object.
As for Qiu Chuyi, being obsessed with martial arts, he would naturally support any suggestion that could enhance the strength of his disciples.
Therefore, the reform of the exchange point system has been finalized, and the Quanzhen Sect will carry out two major system reforms next.
The first major institutional reform was to emulate the Shaolin Temple by recruiting disciples on a large scale, eliminating unsuitable ones and turning them into lay disciples, thus establishing a lay disciple system.
The second major institutional reform is the establishment of a contribution point system, which details the contributions of disciples, calculates contribution points, and allows disciples to exchange contribution points for corresponding martial arts skills.
Among these, the reform of the lay disciple system is relatively easy to handle. With the precedent set by Shaolin Temple, they only need to follow suit.
However, reforming the contribution point system is quite complicated, so everyone started discussing the details.
Li Ke also put forward several important suggestions.
For example, the suggestion to prohibit fellow disciples from privately teaching martial arts to their masters, and to require the disciple or master to pay contribution points in order to teach martial arts.
In order for the contribution point system to function perfectly, it is necessary to prohibit fellow disciples or masters from privately teaching martial arts; otherwise, the contribution point system would be rendered meaningless.
After that, how to calculate the contributions of disciples to the sect.
Li Ke's key suggestion was that his disciples could obtain a large amount of contribution points by submitting their cultivation experiences, techniques, martial arts skills, and special skills.
After that, with a wealth of cultivation insights, techniques, martial arts, and unique skills, the Quanzhen Sect's contribution point system will become increasingly complete and attractive.
Their Quanzhen Sect's strength will also increase over time, and their disciples will become experts at an increasingly faster pace.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen naturally had no objection to this suggestion, and thought Li Ke's suggestion was excellent.
However, Li Ke stipulated that his fellow disciples were not allowed to teach martial arts to their masters in private.
They frowned slightly at the suggestion that the person or master must pay contribution points to pass on martial arts skills.
This is simply because it does not conform to the Chinese tradition of master-disciple relationships, nor to the habits they have cultivated over many years.
But when Li Ke explained why it was necessary to do this, and the reasons and benefits of doing so, they no longer objected and acquiesced.
Among these, Li Ke was appointed by Ma Yu as a "reform ambassador," responsible for reforming the two major systems of the Quanzhen Sect.
After all, it was Li Ke who proposed this matter, so it is most appropriate to hand it over to Li Ke to handle.
As for the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, they were responsible for breaking down the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect into multiple parts, making it easier for disciples to exchange them layer by layer.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the splitting is reasonable enough, so this task is actually quite troublesome.
This is partly due to Li Ke's immense contribution in saving the Quanzhen Sect from annihilation.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen promised that Li Kequan could learn Iron Palm Skill, Water-Walking Skill, and other Quanzhen martial arts on his own.
Li Ke immediately shook his head at this.
He indicated that he wanted to create a martial art that suited his current unique physique and internal strength, and would not practice any other martial art.
After all, ever since he failed to open the Ren and Du meridians, he only managed to open the Ren meridian but not the Du meridian.
Li Ke's physique and internal energy attributes became extremely cold and yin, making the Quanzhen Martial Arts, which emphasizes moderation and balance, no longer suitable for him.
In order to adapt to his new physique and internal energy, Li Ke must create a martial art that suits his current situation.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that Zhao Zhijing, Shen Zhifan, and others did not have the reputation of betraying their sect.
However, they disregarded the dangers of their sect and were expelled from the sect by Wang Chuyi on the spot, who ordered them never to return to the Quanzhen Sect.
This can be considered as making them the first batch of lay disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, thus paving the way for the lay disciple system of the Quanzhen Sect.
However, looking at Zhao Zhijing's unwilling eyes, Li Ke knew that this guy was probably not willing to give up like this.
Li Ke, on the contrary, thought it was a good thing.
If Zhao Zhijing hadn't caused trouble, Li Ke really wouldn't have had a reason to kill him!
