Sect Companies AU

Maybe been consuming too much cultivation novels when a thought occurred to me:

“Huh, cultivation sects function and interact a lot like modern companies.”

Which gave me an idea for a bit of a modern cultivation setting, that actually when I think about takes inspiration from “guilds” from a lot of Korean manwha.

Set in the modern day, cultivation sects did not go underground—many of them eventually transformed into companies. Powerful enough to cause ripples in the nations they base themselves in, some continue to function similar to the cultivation sects of old, but many now have mundane branches to support their cultivation branch, or vice versa.

Mundane companies still exist, but often need to find niches to compete with sect companies. Many desire cultivators to help elevate their status, but as they don’t have the proper resources for it most decline.

In attempting to climb the company ladder in sect companies, both cultivation skills and mundane skills are valuable; the truly talented have proficiency in both, but you can rise the ranks even if you lack mundane skills needed for company management.

Interesting ideas:

have a person skilled in business but unable to cultivate for physical or emotional reasons try to climb the ranks

have a skilled cultivator assist a mundane company rise to compete against a powerful sect company

#setting idea #sect companies au #wuxia #cultivation sects #gives the potential for a wuxia company drama which i think would be interesting

Hear me out…

Ok. So. In the world of MDZS, sect leaders and their heirs are determined based on lineage following a fairly common order of succession.

Jiang Fengmian dies, it goes to his son.

Nie Mingjue dies, it goes to his brother.

And so on and so forth…

This is also true of the Jin sect, with the caveat that any child born of the sect leader’s blood seems to have a shot at becoming sect leader, not just those born of the sect leader and his wife (Also just realized this applies to the Nie sect, too, considering the Nie brothers have different mothers). Which is how “son of a whore” Jin Guangyao became sect leader, bypassing next-in-the-order-of-succession Jin Ling, who was still a child.

So, because Jin Ling is still a child when Jin Guangyao dies, leadership of the Jin Sect *should* theoretically go to the next adult in the sect leader’s bloodline.

And who would that be?

Mo Xuanyu.

…and that’s the story of how Wei Wuxian got the last laugh and became leader of the Jin sect.

you ever think about the fact that nie huaisang's father and brother both died the exact same way — forced into qi deviation via a third party

you ever think about how nie mingjue's obsession with getting revenge for his father's murder might have been foreshadowing for nie huaisang's own obsession with avenging his brother and utterly destroying jin guangyao

you ever think about how nie huaisang is a lot more like nie mingjue than most people realize

So since mxtx has said that in novel canon nie huaisang is eventually going to end up being chief cultivator we can presume the headshaker thing, while based on his existing personality, was in fact an act and he is way more competent at his job than he's let on. And with Jin Guangyao dead and gone he has no reason to put on that act anymore.

Imagine being an Nie cultivator. Your flopppy incompetent sect leader comes home from traumatic events after it turns out his older brother's sworn brother- who's been over to your sect basically every other week for years now- is the one that killed said brother and you're fully prepared for tears and dramatics. And while you definitley don't like lianfang-zun since it just came out he killed your last (way more competent) sect leader he was sorta the one holding the sect together so you're bracing yourself for the worst, and instead he's... stoic? Paperwork is suddenly getting done well and on time without help. He's not wailing during negotiations anymore and you're getting actual good trade deals for the first time in over a decade. He answers questions now? With something other than "I don't know i don't know i really don't know!"

And even if you had none of the revelations wei wuxian had in guanyin temple, slowly the realization creeps up on you that all his earlier embarassing antics that cost your family their comfortable livelihoods and your sect their good name was on purpose. And from there it's not that hard to put two and two together. The rest of the cultivation world assumes the shock of jin guangyao's betrayal has finally forced the headshaker to grow up a little but you have worked side by side with him for a decade, probably even watched him grow up under his brother's rule. You know better.

How do you feel at that point? What can you even do? He's your sect leader. And he's finally doing his job, things are looking up, shouldn't you feel relieved? It' not like his incompetence really caused any deaths among the nie, just wiped out generational wealth and reputation that will take years and years to build back up. Is it really reasonable to only start hating someone for something when they've stopped doing it? Thereby proving that they were capable of stopping all along?

#mdzs #nie huaisang #mdzs meta #sort of?#oh the urge to write a fic from the pov of a nie cultivator oc feeling INCREDIBLY conflicted about nie huaisang #the absolute generational culture shock between the nies that grew up under lao nie and nmj who watched the sect decline in adulthood #the nies that grew up under flop era nhs and have only ever heard of their better days until things start improving again #and the ones that will be growing up under chief cultivator nhs who kind of can't imagine that he was ever THAT bad.#the rumours must be exaggerrated right?#like 13 years postcanon a 15 year old disciple a 27 year old cultivator and a sect elder are all gonna have DRAMATICALLY different opinions

Given the way that Headshaker Huaisang goes to Jin Guangyao (and LXC) for solutions to so many of his problems, possibly/probably including struggles with running a sect, do you think maybe the Headshaker persona was as much a part of the revenge plot as it was a veil to hide behind? Like, oh you killed my brother, the head of the Nie sect? Fine. YOU run the sect then 🙃 It needs a leader and you killed him so now it's YOUR fucking problem, and I'm going to make it an incredibly annoying problem. Not a single cog will turn smoothly 🙃

Jiang Cheng had what, 3 months? To gather up rogue cultivators to be his disciples? And yet when we see him with Lan Wangji on their hunt for Wei Wuxian he actually has quite a significant amount

Baby girl was clearly doing something right

#oh sect leader jiang? jiang cheng? jiang wanyin?#he offered to buy me breakfast if i joined his sect and now I've been here for 5 years #what a charming young man #jiang cheng #jiang wanyin #the untamed #mdzs #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #mo dao zu shi #jiang sect #lotus pier #sunshot campaign
