Seeing that two of the figures that had managed to reach the threshold of Grandmaster realm where among the assistants in the clan, he smilled slightly.
He reached out and picked his daughter from the cart, before sitting in a comfortable position, while letting Hong Xianli play with his finger. She wanted to put it in the mouth, but he was able to evade all the time, but she seemed unwilling to give up.
It was a comical scene, but no one in the entire hall was enjoying it.
"Xue Ji, Qin Shan right!" He called out and two figures stood up.
The figures that had been called walked forward and performed a salute.
"Not bad! Among the fifteen assistants that have been helping me manage village you have not let me down. Since you have reached the grandmaster realm,I think you can help me handle some things more appropriately." He said without much hesitation.
At this point, he was happy to have mine more new spare people that could take on bigger responsibilities.
"I have some tasks here! But it depends on whoever of you has the guts to accept them." He said this as he looked down on them, seeing them silent he contined.
"Those that complete the tasks will receive not only contribution points, but have the chance to raise their authority in the clan. Authority has one and important benefit, it allows you to access more resources and the price will be cut depending on the level of authority one has. Those with higher authority will even have a chance to participate in the decision making of the Village." He didn't lie about this.
It was just that this wasn't easy to accomplish, as he was going to make this something that could only be accomplished once someone did something that benefited the entire clan.
Old Gu Tian and Old Ye had already passed on their martial arts to him. It was this martial arts that was foundation of the Hong Village.
Su Qingqin made even more contribution as she assisted with clarifying the next steps of cultivation as she far ahead of everyone.
To gain access to this information it was necessary to spend contribution points.
Only those at the grandmaster realm and above had the privileged of utilizing contribution points.
Hong Jun had some resources he had not completely used up, and he pushed them as well as the few martial arts they had onto the contribution exchange hall.
It was accessible to all as long as they closed their eyes, their spirit was able to gain access to the Celestial Supression Pillar Exchange Hall.
A list was floating and whatever was present and the contribution points required. Once the old guys came back from the ruins, perhaps more good things might even appear again.
On the mission list, three where present, and one of them was supervision of construction of an Irrigation system. Only Hong Jun wanted them to dig out a massive pathway, to create an artificial river that passed through most of the village.
He had plans for this river other than just for purpose of irrigation, he wanted to encourage fish farming.
It was at the bottom and the one at the top was to leave the clan and take risk to locate other mortals without spiritual roots and bring them back. The goal was to slowly develop population.
He even added another note at the end, for every person with a unique skill brought back, from carpentry to construction, a bonus was to be awarded.
Finally it was teachers of martial arts. Those that could teach the younger generation in the Village School he had set up, would be awarded based on the merit.
After they grasped intention, the spirit was slowly becoming stronger. But even so, it was enough to check the Exchange Hall.
"The opportunity is for all of you and don't look down on this contribution points as they even have some guidance on cultivation of intention." He said in a deep voice.
Listening to what he was saying, how could they not be moved. Hong Jun's intention alone was strong enough to press them on the ground, they were incapable of even moving.
How could those that had just stepped into the threshold of Intention be willing to be left behind.
The ambition in their eyes couldn't escape his eyes.
"Okay! Close your eyes and don't resist. A small light should appear in your mind, follow it and you will gain access to the Hong clan first secret." He said in a deep voice.
Everyone followed the lead and did as they were told and got stunned.
The reason for this was simple, they actually saw massive white sky above them.
It wasn't all, rather an ancient looking hall was standing next to a waterfall.
The name at the top of the majestic ancient hall was Exchange Hall.
Everyone rushed forward and they weren't able to walk in, but a bulletin on the wall flicker with three big tasks.
The rest of them where not ther great and had little contribution points.
Looking at the information, each of the nine that had stepped into the spitual world of the Celestial Supression Pillar.
Everyone has different expressions after arriving and the most magical thing was that they were not in the same place. Or they couldn't see each other in this place.
He did like things this way, and it was also nice to allow those that wanted to keep secrets of their contribution points and resources to accomplish it.
The moment their entered the space, each of them had eager expressions but in less than a minute they were all out.
Their spirit wasn't strong enough to allow them to stay in the space long, as it was more like a mental world and the stronger the spirit the better.
Only after they left, each of them had shining eyes, especially after looking at the information inside.
Though most was difficult to access without contribution points, they saw hope, and each had different thoughts.
Thought they didn't say anything, a lot of words where hidden in their eyes.
"Go back and practice seriously, and when your intention is complete, you should be able to stand in the grandmaster realm. This can't be accomplished overnight, you will have to take a weeks. The process after that is simple, just advance the intention and your realm will rise." He commented, but he was just actually chasing them away, because he just felt something strange just now.
"All retreat! Xue Ji, Qin Shan you stay." His voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
