Chapter 217: Changes Within the Jiang Clan, Breaking Through to the Moon Wheel Realm!

Not long after.

Cangwu Mountain.

After a month of development, the entire Jiang clan had once again undergone tremendous changes.

Under the combined blessing of a Heaven-grade supreme spiritual vein, medicinal fields, and spiritual springs.

Today, the Jiang clan alone had a terrifying seven hundred-plus clansmen at the Postnatal realm!

As for the number of Innate realm clansmen, it had directly broken past a hundred, reaching an astonishing one hundred and thirty-three!

Compared to the Jiang clan of the past, the numbers had multiplied more than a hundredfold!

And such results were merely the fruits of Jiang Daoxuan's development of the Jiang clan over several months, showing just how rapid the progress had been.

Apart from these ordinary clansmen.

The current seven-branch branch masters, enjoying the enormous resources provided by the clan, could each receive an allocation of half a jin of divine liquid every month.

Coupled with the Earth-grade supreme art "Pure Yang Art," secretly taught by the Grand Elder to all branch masters and Elders.

All seven branch masters had cultivated to the Purple Mansion realm, with the strongest among them reaching the second level of the Purple Mansion realm.

And because of the supreme Purple Spirit Pills, the success rate of breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm was simply absurdly high!

Therefore, among the seven-branch Elders, the cumulative number of cultivators who had broken through to the Purple Mansion realm had already reached as many as fifteen!

If one then added the seven branch masters and the Heaven's Favored clansmen.

Today's Cangwu Jiang clan had a full twenty-five Purple Mansion realm cultivators!

Although they were basically all uniformly at the first level of the Purple Mansion realm, it was still extremely terrifying.

One must know that the lords of small cities in the surrounding regions were generally only at the Purple Mansion realm, showing just how profound the Jiang clan's current foundation was.

Apart from these, the other clansmen had also all achieved development.

Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang, relying on his Lei Lingti and various resources, although his progress speed was not as fast as the Heaven's Favored, had still reached the third level of the Yuanhai realm.

Gu Xingjian was still continuously comprehending the Dao of the Sword, still at Perfect Sword Intent; to make a breakthrough and comprehend Sword Heart, he still needed a certain opportunity.

As for his cultivation realm, there was no change — he was still at the first level of the Star Wheel realm.

Jiang Chen, who possessed the Primordial Holy Body, after switching to cultivate the Pure Yang Infinite Art, had made rapid progress.

Although his Sword Dao realm had not changed and remained at Entry Sword Intent.

His current cultivation realm had impressively reached the first level of the Yuanhai realm!

Presumably, after some more time, he would successfully overtake the Grand Elder and rank among the top three of Cangwu Mountain!

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, was simultaneously cultivating alchemy while using the Flame Art to cultivate.

He had now broken through to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion realm, his strength still surpassing that of the seven branch masters, ranking among the top five of Cangwu Mountain!

Apart from the strength improvements of the clan's Heaven's Favored.

The internal systems of the Jiang clan had also become increasingly refined.

Especially after the Grand Elder privately sought out Jiang Daoxuan for guidance and learned of the concept of "performance assessment."

He immediately convened the seven branch masters and Elders to hold a clan meeting.

At the meeting.

Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang, following the clan head's philosophy, specifically pointed out that in order to inspire the clansmen's fighting spirit and promote a better virtuous cycle of competition.

He specially added four new tiers above the ordinary clansmen tier: Outstanding, Excellent, Elite, and Core.

Different tiers enjoyed different resources and authority.

To prevent some clansmen from becoming complacent and slack after being promoted to higher tiers.

And further to prevent the channels of advancement from solidifying, making it easier for new blood within the clan to rise.

The Grand Elder emphatically stated that, apart from the ordinary tier.

The four tiers of Outstanding, Excellent, Elite, and Core all carried a time limit of one month.

Every month.

The seven-branch Elders would, based on a comprehensive evaluation of each branch's clansmen's performance, contribution points, combat strength, realm, and so on, make assessments and draft promotion lists.

Finally, the seven branch masters and the clan Elder Council would review and have the final say, preventing any special cases of abusing power for personal gain.

At the same time, considering that the seven branches had numerous clansmen while the seven-branch Elders were too few, the Grand Elder felt that going through them one by one for statistics would make the workload truly too great.

Therefore, to reduce the workload of the seven-branch Elders, he specially established the position of Seven-Branch Steward, specifically responsible for assisting the seven-branch Elders in handling various affairs.

As for the selection of Seven-Branch Stewards, since it leaned more toward clerical in nature, it did not consider cultivation base, only seniority or ability to handle affairs, and so on.

If one performed outstandingly during their tenure, they could also be recommended by the seven-branch Elders, with the hope of obtaining many resources, or achieving promotion to become a seven-branch Elder.

Apart from these management layers, the Grand Elder once again pointed out at the assembly.

To maintain the Jiang clan's fine traditions, rewards alone were not enough; a certain Lei Ting measure was also needed to maintain order.

He specially established a Clan Enforcement Team to patrol the seven branches, not subject to the jurisdiction of the seven branch masters, and reporting directly to the Elder Council and the clan head.

The size of the Enforcement Team was provisionally set at twenty Innate realm captains and two hundred Postnatal realm members.

As compensation for delaying the cultivation time of Enforcement Team members.

The clan resources they could enjoy each month were also increased by different multiples according to their rank, on top of the original baseline.

Clansmen caught by the Enforcement Team for committing offenses.

Unless it was a serious crime such as betraying the clan, generally the punishment would not extend to death.

They would merely be subjected to different punishments according to clan rules.

For example, deducting contribution points, lowering their tier, reducing monthly allowance amounts, corporal punishment, confinement, and so on.

Following the Grand Elder's various orders being issued, the seven branch masters and Elders all expressed their approval.

When the clan meeting concluded.

The internal position structure of the Jiang clan, if classified solely according to "surface-level status" without considering other factors, could be divided into:

First rank: Clan Chief

Second rank: Supreme Elder / Honorary Supreme Elder

Third rank: Elder Council / Seven Veins' Clan Masters

Fourth rank: Seven Veins' Elders / Outsider Patrons

Fifth rank: Core Clan Members

Sixth rank: Elite Clan Members / Seven Veins' Administrators

Seventh rank: Outstanding Clan Members

Eighth rank: Excellent Clan Members

Ninth rank: Ordinary Clan Members

There are nine ranks in total, extremely strict, to be continuously refined later.

Different ranks carry different privileges.

Currently, the Earth-Class Supreme cultivation technique, Pure Yang Art, is open only to Fifth Rank and above clan members.

As for Sixth Rank and below clan members,

they may cultivate only Earth-Class Low or Earth-Class Mid-tier techniques.

These are the general changes that have occurred within the Jiang family in recent days.

At this moment, the Family Grand Hall.

Jiang Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the ground, his aura surging around him.
