Chapter 147: Jiang Chengxuan’s Suggestion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At Huawu Peak.
After Xiong Wandao left, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan spent some time catching up with each other before heading to Huawu Peak together.
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming were both there.
When they saw the couple, they looked happy.
“Chengxuan, Ruyan, you’re out of seclusion.”
Shen Yuanlong smiled and said, “I was just telling Daoming that it was probably about time for us to go to the Heavenly Peak Valley and was wondering when you would come out of seclusion.
What a coincidence.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan also replied with a smile.
“We also thought that it was probably the time, so we decided to come out.”
Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming smiled and nodded.
“By the way…”
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong seemed to have thought of something and could not help but say to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan,
“There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
Before Shen Yuanlong could continue, Jiang Chengxuan said,
“Fifth Granduncle, do you want to discuss who we should give the Crimson Fire Crystal to?”
“Oh? You know about it?”
Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming could not help but look surprised.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“Elder Xiong already came to look for me.”
He did not hide anything. Instead, he roughly told the two of them what Xiong Wandao said to him.
Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming had obviously expected this to happen.
In fact, Xiong Wandao was not the only one who did this.
Including Shen Baifei, Shen Rushuang, and Shen Daoyuan, they all came to look for Shen Daoming.
It was naturally because they wanted to ask Shen Daoming for a favor to give the Crimson Fire Crystal to them.
This was human nature. There was nothing to be surprised about.
The problem was that through this matter, Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming had already deeply realized the flaws in the current resource distribution system.
In the past,
Other than the peak period, the Shen Immortal family had no more than two Violet Palace Realm cultivators guarding it.
Most of the time, there was only one Violet Palace Realm cultivator.
Everyone would also take the initiative to give the most precious item to the only Violet Palace Realm Supreme Elder.
A situation like this had never happened before.
However, now that it had happened, it was time to consider this problem.
“Chengxuan, do you have any good ideas?”
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong could not help but look at Jiang Chengxuan and ask sincerely.
Jiang Chengxuan thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know if my ideas are good. Fifth Granduncle and Brother, you can listen and judge for yourself.”
“We are all ears.”
Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming immediately sat up straight.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “First of all, contribution should continue to be the benchmark for the resource distribution. This is definitely not wrong.
No matter what, in any given situation, no one will raise an objection when the resource is given to the person who contributes the most.
The only problem is how to choose when two people contributed equally.
And this is also the main problem that you and I are facing now.”
Indeed.
In terms of contribution, other than the four Violet Palace Realm Supreme Elders, Xu Qianhe had the greatest contribution.
However, he took the initiative to withdraw from the competition this time.
Then a problem arose.
The remaining three, Shen Baifei, Xiong Wandao, and Shen Rushuang, had contributed almost equally to the family.
In such a situation, no matter who you gave the Crimson Fire Crystal to, the other two would more or less be discontent.
In the beginning, the problem might not be noticeable.
With Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming around, it was enough to temporarily suppress the discontent.
But what about in the future?
What if Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming were no longer around?
When that time came, the problem would erupt and there would only be two outcomes waiting for the Shen Immortal Family.
It was either everyone felt resentment and hostility towards each other and the family would be in a state of disunity despite looking untied on the surface.
Or they would just split up.
As for how many branches it would eventually split into, no one knew.
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming clearly thought of this problem.
There was an unprecedented seriousness on their faces.
It was obvious that the two of them did not want to see such a thing happening to the family.
Shen Daoming said, “Chengxuan, do you have a good solution for this?”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and said, “Brother, don’t be anxious. I’m not done talking.”
After a pause, he continued,
“It’s neither difficult nor easy to resolve this problem.
The difficult part is that people might not understand at first and have some complaints.
However, this initial phase will pass and everyone will eventually get used to the new system.”
At this moment, neither Shen Yuanlong nor Shen Daoming is in a hurry to speak. Instead, they waited patiently for Jiang Chengxuan to continue.
Jiang Chengxuan said again,
“The suggestion I have for you is a system based on priority.”
“Priority?”
Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming were stunned.
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said, “When everyone has the same contribution, the resources should be distributed to those who need it the most.
There are also a few principles.
Those who did not use the Foundation Establishment Pill to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm on their own will have priority over those who took the Foundation Establishment Pill. Those with higher cultivation levels will have priority over those with lower cultivation levels, and the younger ones will have priority over the older ones.
If there are still cases where two have the equal right to ask for a certain resource, then let them spar fairly.
However, 1 think the probability of this happening is minimal..”
