Above the hall, Lu Xuanji began to speak, comncing the rewards.
Rewards and punishnts must be balanced, there is a thod to follow.
For instance, granting rewards before punishnt will invite resentnt; but if punishnt precedes rewards, it may bring happiness.
The sequence of actions is different, and so are the outcos.
In recent years, the clan’s finances have improved, particularly with increased inco in the dicine Garden. The quantities of Foundation Establishnt Pills, Purple Mansion Pills, Pure Yang Pills, and Nirvana Pills have been increasing, but the elixirs are still refined only once every thirty years. Every batch of elixirs, once completed, can be applied for purchase, loan, or other ans.
At this mont, there were Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivators stepping forward to start applying for Foundation Establishnt Pills.
Lu Xuanji began to ask questions and approve the Foundation Establishnt Pill requests.
Given the clan’s talent decline, the quota for Foundation Establishnt Pill approval was relaxed,
raised from sixty years to seventy. Those who reach Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation before seventy can apply for a loan to buy Foundation Establishnt Pills.
The requirent was loosened from Three Spirit Roots to Four Spirit Roots.
Guest Ministers with different surnas can also qualify for Foundation Establishnt Pills if they agree to marry a female cultivator of the Lu Family or marry into the Lu Family.
As long as no Demonic Technique was cultivated, one could also qualify for Foundation Establishnt Pills.
Even so, only nine cultivators ca forward to loan and buy Foundation Establishnt Pills.
He only asked a few basic questions before approving.
"Is there anyone else?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"Clan Leader, I intend to buy a Foundation Establishnt Pill?"
At this mont, a cultivator stepped forward, looking ordinary, but with an unyielding gaze in his eyes.
"Lu Ping’an, step back!"
The Law Enforcent Elder spoke up: "You have Five Spirit Roots, and today you are seventy years old. Even with the Foundation Establishnt Pill, it is very difficult to reach Foundation Establishnt. It’s better to leave hope for the next generation."
Lu Ping’an said: "I know that Foundation Establishnt with Five Spirit Roots is very, very difficult, almost impossible, but I am unwilling to give up. If I don’t fight once, even if I die, I will be unwilling!"
The Law Enforcent Elder was about to speak but saw the Clan Leader raise his hand and imdiately fell silent.
Lu Xuanji said: "You want to buy a Foundation Establishnt Pill?"
Lu Ping’an said firmly: "Yes!"
Lu Xuanji frowned, tapping the armrest of the chair, and after a mont of silence, said: "Five Spirit Roots, how difficult it is to reach Foundation Establishnt. Even with the Foundation Establishnt Pill, it is still quite difficult!"
"I know, but I am unwilling!" Lu Ping’an said.
"Good, full of ambition!" Lu Xuanji nodded: "What are Five Spirit Roots? In life, if one doesn’t dare to give their all, even death would be unsatisfying. The Foundation Establishnt Pill can be given to you... but the clan cannot make a losing deal. No credit, only purchase!"
"I have ten thousand Spirit Stones here, enough to buy a Foundation Establishnt Pill!"
Lu Ping’an said.
Due to the Spirit dicines continuously maturing in the dicine Garden, the price of the Foundation Establishnt Pill had decreased steadily from eighteen thousand to fifteen thousand, twelve thousand, and now it stood at ten thousand.
"Very well!"
Lu Xuanji nodded: "Within the clan, ten thousand Spirit Stones can buy a Foundation Establishnt Pill, but outside, it requires at least fifteen thousand, and if there’s a shortage of goods, the price may rise to twenty thousand. To prevent you from being a reseller, I must personally supervise you taking the elixir to ensure it is not sold off."
"Very well!" Lu Ping’an said, handing over his storage bag.
Lu Xuanji only briefly checked and then tossed it to the rits Elder.
"Next, there is the application for Pure Yang Pills, Purple Mansion Pills, Nirvana Pills, at a price of one hundred fifty thousand Spirit Stones, which is the lowest market price and a benefit of the clan. To prevent so from reselling to outsiders, they must be consud under the supervision of three elders!" Lu Xuanji said.
At this ti, only three Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt and eight Fifth-Layer Foundation mbers stepped forward to apply for the Purple Mansion Pills, Pure Yang Pills, etc.
Lu Xuanji generously approved them.
Here, Lu Wuchen and Lu Xuanwen happened to be present; both had poor aptitude with only Four Spirit Roots, yet one reached the peak of Eighth-Layer Foundation at 150 years of age, and the other reached the peak of Ninth-Layer Foundation at 180 years, qualifying them to purchase Foundation Establishnt Pills.
After distributing the elixirs, he began to give lectures again.
After the lecture, so clan cultivators asked questions, which Lu Xuanji also answered.
He then encouraged individuals, urging them to continue striving, to work hard, and so on.
In this manner, three days passed continuously, asserting his presence within the clan.
He successively distributed the Foundation Establishnt Pills, Purple Mansion Pills, Pure Yang Pills, Nirvana Pills, etc., to the cultivators, supervised their consumption, watched them enter the cave mansions for seclusion, and only then felt relieved.
...
About ten days later, Ye Wanyi erged from seclusion.
After an enjoyable reunion, Lu Xuanji took out Pure Yang Pills and handed them over, saying: "These are five Pure Yang Pills, of supre grade, keep them well for now!"
Ye Wanyi frowned, did not take the elixir, and said: "Husband, are you going on a long journey?"
"Yes, I need to go to a place!"
Lu Xuanji said: "I won’t tell you exactly where, and you don’t need to ask. It might take a long ti, possibly three to five years, or maybe seven or eight years!"
"Husband, I won’t say much else, just go early and return early, don’t forget about cultivation!" Ye Wanyi reminded him, saying: "Husband’s aptitude is still above mine, and his cultivation was also above mine, yet now I am at the Seventh Layer of the Purple Mansion, and husband is only at the Fourth Layer. The focus on alchemy and artifact refining has consud too much of husband’s ti."
"Husband should put these things aside, focus on the key, no matter how good artifact refining or alchemy is, they are side paths and cannot lead to immortality. Only by improving cultivation is it the right path."
"I understand, my wife!"
Lu Xuanji nodded.
"Husband, I know Patriarch Jin has a good feeling towards you, but she has vast ambitions and grand visions, beyond what small figures like us can aspire to. In her heart, romantic love is insignificant. She is good to husband because she wants to use him."
Ye Wanyi said: "Husband must be careful! Don’t let her sell you out while you still count money for her!"
"You understand, I don’t like to think much, but it is not easy to calculate !" Lu Xuanji laughed: "Even if soone can calculate for a mont, they cannot calculate forever. The more calculations in one’s life, the narrower the life path becos. Man’s calculations can’t compare to heaven’s; getting it wrong is worse than not calculating at all!"
Ye Wanyi said: "Husband is too straightforward, it’s easy to suffer losses like this. The Cultivation Immortality Realm is, in essence, a world of people devouring people. Husband’s generous nature will ultimately lead to suffering."
Lu Xuanji was unconcerned: "I will be careful!"
"Oh yes, almost forgot..."
Lu Xuanji rembered sothing and pulled out a sword from the storage bag.
This sword glead with a cold light, swiftly landing on the ground with a swoosh.
The stone tiles were pierced, and an endless cold qi swept over, dropping the cave mansion’s temperature by several degrees.
"Good sword!"
Ye Wanyi reached out to grasp it, and the treasure sword fell into her hand.
About three inches along the blade, the characters "Ice Soul" were engraved.
"Good sword, good sword... Inside, there are no talismans, no array patterns, this is a sword embryo! Is it that you want to inscribe the talismans," Ye Wanyi said delightedly, feeling a blank space inside, like it was a white canvas for her to paint on.
