Chapter 3: Plotting a Future for the Sect
"In Qinghe Market, the sect’s shop contributes little to the overall earnings. Its annual profits barely reach sixty Spirit Stones."
"Adding the revenues from the Spirit Field, Medicine Field, and the sect’s total annual income, it sums up to about seven hundred and thirty Spirit Stones."
Lu Yuanshan clearly laid out the sect’s earnings, his face showing visible helplessness.
As sect leader for so many years, he has been tirelessly working for the sect’s development, striving to keep Cyan Mountain Sect running without a moment’s rest.
When Lu Yuanshan finished speaking, many disciples were in an uproar, realizing just how difficult times were for the sect.
The sect is in economic distress, its income far below previous levels.
The combined annual revenue from the marketplace shop, Medicine Field, and Spirit Field is still less than eight hundred Spirit Stones. For a sect, this income is miserably low.
For a sect disciple, their annual salary ranges between ten to twenty Spirit Stones, based on their strength.
With twenty-eight disciples, last year’s salaries alone consumed over four hundred Spirit Stones.
Alongside the three Elders’ salaries, each amounting to a hundred Spirit Stones, the total salaries for sect members annually take up over seven hundred Spirit Stones, staying roughly the same this year.
Keeping the sect operational, purchasing elixirs, cultivating Spirit Medicines and Spirit Rice, and maintaining the Mountain Protection Array are also significant expenses, costing around five hundred Spirit Stones annually.
