347 Treasure Trove (1/2)

Mo Wen had finally become the official sect leader of the Dafang Sect. Now, whatever he said could not be defied!

This title was practically no different than him being the emperor! However, he still had no sense of belonging in the the Dafang Sect. This wasn't helped by the real reason he had come to the sect: to plunder it! So, he naturally did not care about the laws that the Dafang Sect ancestors had set!

Now that he was the sect leader, he naturally would bend rules to the way he preferred them. So, for the next few days, Mo Wen left the three aristocratic families to one side, ordering them to rebuild the sect. After ordering them to restore the sect buildings that were damaged in the battle, he then directly hid in the sect leader's palace for a few days.

This was because he wanted to attend to Wang Yinru's injuries, which were increasing in severity. After quickly handling the matters of the Dafang Sect, he was able to focus all his energy on treating Wang Yinru. After all, such serious injuries would be fatal if he delayed even a few more days.

Luckily, Mo Wen's medical skills were superb. Especially after he had inherited Ji Wuya's medicine sage inheritance, his understanding of medical skills had reached an entirely new realm.

In fact, it could be said that now, calling him the Miracle Physician would be the real deal. After all, he had not only mastered ordinary medical skills, but had also mastered the medical skills of the Immortal Cultivator world!

Of course, Ji Wuya had many astonishing achievements in his life, so Mo Wen could not possibly learn all of his abilities instantly. Now, he was just beginning to receive the inheritance, having just grazed its surface.

However, the medicine sage's inheritance was still in his body. As time passed, his understanding of pill arts and medical skills became deeper and deeper. Such was how he began to comprehend the medicine sage's lifetime of learning.

But, even though Mo Wen's medical skills were astonishing, Wang Yinru's injuries were too severe. Her insides were damaged and her core was shattered. Under normal circumstances, she would be as good as dead.

Although he could treat Wang Yinru's wounds until they healed, it was very hard to restore her cultivation. This was because her core was shattered. As she was an ancient martial arts practitioner, this meant that her cultivation was crippled.

Of course, he could remedy this! The only thing that what was stopping him wasn't his lack of medical skill, but rather the lack of proper materials!

He knew many types of pills that could restore Wang Yinru's core and completely restore her Inner Qi, but did not have access to the medicinal herbs he needed to concoct these pills, as they were very precious. He also needed to use spiritual medicines.

With such short notice, it was very difficult for Mo Wen to get his hands on these medicinal herbs. After a few days of treatment, Wang Yinru's injuries were at least recovering a bit each day. Her face had even started looking more rosy and her skin had sloughed off a dead top layer, becoming fairer and smoother.

Once again, she had become a great beauty! In fact, aside from having no cultivation, as well as having not recovered completely from some of her severe internal injuries, she did not have the appearance of a sick person.

After a few more days had passed, Mo Wen gathered a few of the Dafang Sect experts and started restructuring the Dafang Sect's internal organization. When the Jiang Clan had been in power, many important positions were taken by their own people. Even the three aristocratic families had a hard time getting their people placed in roles of importance.

Now that the Jiang Clan had been eradicated, several positions of true power and authority had naturally become vacant. For Mo Wen, the Dafang Sect did not have any talented people worthy of such positions. At the same time, there were no experts that were worth his time bringing in from the outside.

So, he decided that he could only focus his energy on their wealth, not their talent. A sect's wealth naturally would be astonishing, so he definitely would want to get his hands on all of it!

An example would be the role of treasury elder. This position was very important, as it involved managing the Dafang Sect's resources and finances. Under normal circumstances, there would be three treasury elders, who would manage the treasury together, keeping track of the sect's wealth. The previous three treasury elders were all members of the Jiang Clan. So naturally, the positions had to be filled again.

Mo Wen did not choose members from the three aristocratic families to manage the treasury. Instead, he chose normal disciples from the sect. Following Zhou Honglu advice, he decided to not completely trust the three aristocratic families, instead cultivating his own confidants.

”Hmm? How is it that the Dafang Sect's treasure trove has so few things?” Mo Wen walked around the Dafang Sect's treasure trove, then walked out with an ugly expression on his face.

The Dafang Sect was a dignified and large sect, but the things in its treasure trove were surprisingly few. Also, none of the things caught his eye. In other words, there was nothing good inside at all!

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a large sect to have so few things! Could it be that, during the chaos, the three aristocratic families did something with the treasure trove?

Mo Wen shot an unfriendly gaze at the Zhou Clan's old clan leader, Zhou Honglu. Mo Wen had abolished his title of sect grand elder and granted him the title of Senate Veteran instead. Simply put, it was just an empty title, the type that had no authority and could not participate in official sect matters.

”Sect leader, that has nothing to do with the three aristocratic families.” Zhou Honglu laughed bitterly, then helplessly said, ”The inside of the Dafang Sect's treasure trove has long been empty, having been plundered by others. In other words, the Jiang Clan's treasure trove is where the true Dafang Sect's treasures lie.”

Within the Dafang Sect, there had always been five aristocratic families. For important places in the sect, like the treasure troves, it was deemed that they should be controlled by all of the aristocratic families, rather than just one. As such, utilizing the treasure troves' resources could only happen with the unanimous approval of all five of the aristocratic families.
