Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 934 - 438: Power Is Hard to Wield

The elders and stewards of the Seven Star Palace, some are in seclusion, while others are dispersed across various locations of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Only about a third remain within the Seven Star Palace.

These people are mostly engaged in innovating arrays, essentially serving as researchers for the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

The Seven Star Palace has allocated numerous resources for this purpose, establishing various projects, which Li Yunjing naturally needs to inspect to see the progress and if there are any real results.

After all, he cannot allow the wealth of the Seven Star Palace to be squandered. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Projects that fail to yield results may need to be temporarily halted.

Li Yunjing sat in the office, holding a thick dossier that detailed all ongoing array research projects of the Seven Star Palace.

His gaze swiftly scanned the dossier, his brows slightly furrowing.

Although the Seven Star Palace has profound expertise in arrays, the allocation of resources and the progress of projects seem somewhat chaotic.

Some projects have persisted for centuries without a substantial breakthrough, while others suffer slow progress due to insufficient resources.

There are too many shortcomings here!

"It seems a comprehensive reorganization is necessary."

Li Yunjing thought to himself.

He lifted his head, looking at the stewards standing in the room, and said firmly, "Send the order, gather all the elders and stewards in the palace tomorrow, I want to personally hear the progress reports of the projects."

"Yes, Brother Li!"

The stewards responded respectfully, then quickly withdrew to convey the orders.

The next day, in the Council Hall’s meeting room, dozens of elders and a hundred stewards gathered together.

Li Yunjing sat at the main seat, his gaze swept over the crowd, his tone calm yet indisputably authoritative: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have gathered you here today to understand the progress of various projects. The resources of the Seven Star Palace are limited, we must ensure every resource is used effectively. Next, please proceed with your reports."

"Alright! Let me speak first!"

An elderly white-haired elder stood up and bowed, "Steward Li, I am responsible for the Celestial Spirit and Beidou Seven Stars Grand Array improvement project. This array is one of the core components of the Seven Star Palace’s Mountain Protection Array. After years of research, we have successfully increased its power by thirty percent, but the consumption of Spirit Stones has also increased by twenty percent. We are currently trying to optimize the Spirit Stone consumption."

"Good!"

Li Yunjing nodded, saying, "The Celestial Spirit and Beidou Seven Stars Grand Array is one of the foundations of the sect, enhancing its power is surely important, but the Spirit Stone consumption must also be kept within reasonable limits."

"This project can continue, the palace will continue to add resources, but I hope Elder Zhou understands the difficulties of the palace, reduce consumption as much as possible, and accelerate the research!"

"Good!"

That Elder Zhou sat down satisfied.

Next, another middle-aged elder stood up and reported: "I am responsible for the research on the stability of the Void Teleportation Array. We have successfully reduced the array’s error to one in ten thousand, but long-distance transmission a million kilometers away still has certain errors and various problems can occur."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing frowned.

After pondering for a while, Li Yunjing said with caution: "The Void Teleportation Array is a crucial external channel for the sect, its stability is extremely important. This project can continue, and I will allocate additional resources, hoping you can use them as sparingly as possible."

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged elder showed a joyful expression and sat down contentedly.

Afterwards, several more elders and stewards reported on their respective projects sequentially.

Li Yunjing carefully listened to the progress of each project and made corresponding decisions based on the actual situation.

For some projects that progressed slowly and had unclear results, he decisively ordered a temporary halt and reallocated resources to more promising projects.

Of course, these elders and stewards are not easily swayed!

For projects receiving additional resources and utmost convenience, those elders and stewards were ecstatic, looking at Li Yunjing with increasing favor!

However, some elders and stewards whose projects were cut were utterly furious!

In the assembly hall, they argued heatedly with Li Yunjing, even resorted to vulgar words!

For these individuals, Li Yunjing could only feel helpless!

They were not to be provoked!

Did they have malicious intentions?

No, they were simply passionate researchers obsessively focused on their array projects!

What mistakes did they make?

None indeed!

But the conflict with Li Yunjing lay in the excessive resources they consumed!

The Seven Star Palace’s own industry, combined with resources allocated by the Shenxiao Dao Sect, together still struggled to sustain!

Li Yunjing, being the chief steward, certainly did not wish for the Seven Star Palace to fall into deficit during his tenure, right?

The meeting lasted for a full seven days and nights, until the night of the seventh day, when the night fell, and everyone dispersed one after another.

Li Yunjing sat alone in the hall, let out a long sigh of relief.

A deep fatigue hung on his face!

Even compared to fighting with Golden Core Realm experts or being pursued by a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm Demon King, Li Yunjing had never been so exhausted!

"Alas...these days I’ve been cursed like a grandson by these old fellows!"

In the empty hall, Li Yunjing sighed softly.

Cannot be spoken against, fought with, or cursed at!

Li Yunjing, despite his capabilities, was helpless against them!
