Chapter 688: Chapter 22: No Rewards to Give, No Punishnts to Administer Chapter 688: Chapter 22: No Rewards to Give, No Punishnts to Administer Back to Penglai Immortal Island.
Qiu Changtian took out a small bottle of Blood Coral Powder and handed it over to Wan Xiang Immortal.
“Is this the only bottle?” Wan Xiang Immortal asked with a smile, “If you truly infiltrated the vicinity of the Blood Coral, you should have taken more than this little bottle of powder, right?”
“I wouldn’t dare deceive the immortal,” Qiu Changtian said with a wry smile, “Indeed, I took three bottles in total, with the other two intended to be submitted to the Sect.”
“Humph,” Wan Xiang Immortal stroked his beard, “How about this?”
“I will buy another bottle from you, so I don’t have to make another trip the next ti Chi Song asks to perform alchemy.”
Qiu Changtian certainly didn’t dare to refuse and could only agree respectfully.
After giving one bottle of powder to Wan Xiang Immortal, he received a Storage Bag in return.
A divine sense sweep revealed that it was filled with high-grade pure Spirit Stones.
Spirit Stones were the currency of the Cultivation Realm, and such a large amount of pure Spirit Stones was a considerable sum for a Cultivator as well.
However, the overall economy of the Cultivation Realm was so loose that many Cultivation Resources were priceless and rare to the point of being unobtainable.
...
Thus, Qiu Changtian didn’t argue too much with Wan Xiang Immortal and took it as forming a good connection.
“If we really wanted to form a good connection, we both have hundreds of barrels of Blood Coral Powder.
It wouldn’t hurt to give the Immortal a bottle,” Xu Yinglian, who had been watching the entire ti, thought helplessly to herself.
But after all, she was a Kunlun Cultivator and naturally couldn’t speak up to defend Penglai’s interests, so she pretended not to notice.
Perhaps due to obtaining an extra bottle, Wan Xiang Immortal’s alchemy went very smoothly, and it wasn’t long before he ca out to hand over the Elixirs to the two.
Qiu Changtian opened the cork of the bottle to inspect the goods and saw two Elixirs, red throughout, emitting a strange sweet scent.
“Once this Elixir is consud, imdiately sit down in the lotus position and begin refining it,” Wan Xiang Immortal instructed, “It will greatly benefit the growth of your Pill Root.”
“But be careful.
During the refinent of the Elixir’s power, one should not lightly engage in Magical Competition or mobilize True Yuan.”
“It’s because the Pill Root will be growing rapidly within the Dantian, and if the True Yuan is mobilized too quickly, it will run counter to the root, causing extrely intense pain.”
“Hmm, it’s best to find a place to go into seclusion and fully digest the power of the Elixir before coming out,” he added.
“Thank you for the guidance, senior,” the two promptly replied.
After returning to Kunlun, Qiu Changtian went to report to Ziwei Sect Leader.
“Since it is a task given to you by the Immortal, it is fine as long as you complete it well,” Ziwei Sect Leader said indifferently, “It’s just that you shouldn’t have taken money for that bottle of Blood Coral Powder.”
“Disciple thought so as well, but since the senior offered it actively, I didn’t dare to refuse,” Qiu Changtian replied with a look of helplessness.
“Let it be,” Ziwei Sect Leader thought, as it was probably Wan Xiang Immortal’s intention not to take the junior’s items for free, so it was fine, “Take it then.
To the Immortal, things like tribute are utterly unnecessary.
What matters more is soone with the ability, who can get things done for him.”
“Reporting to Master,” Qiu Changtian continued, “what should be done with the surplus Blood Coral Powder?”
“You can keep it for yourself,” Sect Leader Ziwei said, waving his sleeve.
“It’s too much, and I don’t need it.
I wish to present it to the Sect,” Qiu Changtian said with a wry smile.
It wasn’t that he didn’t need it; at least Luo Yan had a way to sell it off, but since the amount was large, it was easy to be traced back to him by Wan Xiang Immortal so he decided against it.
“How much is there?” Ziwei Sect Leader frowned and asked.
“Perhaps several hundred jin,” Qiu Changtian answered.
Ziwei Sect Leader: ………..
“Several hundred taels or several hundred jin?” he asked again for confirmation.
“Roughly several hundred jin, I haven’t counted,” Qiu Changtian replied and took out the Storage Bag, displaying its contents in the Scripture Lecture Hall.
As the pile of Blood Coral Powder grew higher, Ziwei Sect Leader began to lose his composure, quickly saying:
“Enough, enough!
I believe you.
Put these away and send them to Fenbao Rock… I will ask the Immortal how to deal with them.”
Really, ever since I took this disciple, all sorts of ssy accidents have beco more and more frequent.
Ziwei Master hurried out of the Scripture Lecture Hall and walked briskly towards the Heaven’s Gate Hall at the back mountain, his steps as swift as flying.
At first, his expression was serious, but gradually, he couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
Inside the Heaven’s Gate Hall on the back mountain, Chi Song Immortal, upon hearing that soone had brought back several hundred pounds of Blood Coral Powder, was also shocked, his eyes widening in astonishnt.
In the barbaric lands to the east of the East Sea, where human cultivators rarely tread, there are actually quite a few treasures.
For instance, that Blood Coral that has grown for over one hundred thousand years is a rare treasure in this world.
However, there lives a giant kun near that Blood Coral, ferocious and belligerent by nature, always asking anyone it encounters if they have the “Transforming Peng Technique.”
We are not Kunpeng, how would we know anything about the Transforming Peng Technique!
If you can’t answer, it will pester you, spraying water jets furiously…and this giant kun has no idea how many years it has cultivated, its power is astonishing, and even immortals would frown upon encountering it.
Around the Blood Coral resides a large population of the Demon Race, and if one were to forcefully plunder, making too much noise, it would easily attract that troubleso giant kun.
So, immortals often conceal themselves, sneak in secretly, and only take a little each ti they need it.
Although it is not difficult, it is very troubleso.
This kid managed to bring back several hundred pounds all at once, but where did he get it from?
He couldn’t possibly have chopped down the whole Blood Coral!
Upon this thought, Chi Song Immortal also couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
???G?.??
In principle, having made such a significant contribution to the sect, there should definitely be substantial rewards.
But the problem is, what does Qiu Changtian need?
Cultivation techniques, whether it’s the Qi Refining Technique or Daoist Magic, all are Kunlun’s top-tier cultivation thods;
Flying Swords, the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword perfectly suits his needs, and since he doesn’t use two-handed sword control, there’s no need for a second sword;
Magical Treasures, whether it’s the Taiqing Yuan Qi Smoky Mist or the Tide Breaking Flute, with the forr being a powerful defense and the latter offering both offense and defense, he doesn’t need any more magical treasures to attach to his glory.
Plainly speaking, with Qiu Changtian’s aptitude, even if he does nothing, Kunlun would find reasons to keep giving him various cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and flying swords, for fear that he would not progress smoothly and perish midway.
Now that this kid has finally grown up and is reciprocating the sect, how should the sect reward him?
Forget it, this matter can be left to Ziwei Master to worry about.
……
When Qiu Changtian returned to his cave dwelling, he took an Elixir and began to close off and refine it.
During this period, Ziwei Master ca once more, calling him to Fenbao Rock to pick a treasure, as a reward for offering treasures to the sect this ti.
He was not in a hurry to claim the treasure, but focused on refining the dicine within him, rapidly improving his cultivation level…
The Elixirs produced by immortals were truly impeccable, their dicinal power pure and moderate, yet unceasing like rivers, indeed saving him from countless years of arduous cultivation.
Now the Golden Core within him has beco extrely small, and he continues to transfer highly purified True Yuan to his Dantian, forming “ridians” on the outer walls of his Dantian like ancient roots entwining.
These ridians are called “Pill Roots.”
In the future, when forming a Nascent Soul, these Pill Roots will be the “placenta” for the Nascent Soul, thus they must be cultivated with extre care.
After refining about one third of the dicinal power, Qiu Changtian checked Junior Sister Xu’s progress beside him, and then left seclusion planning to take a walk near Golden Ridge, to relax a bit, before returning to continue his cultivation.
No sooner had he left his cave dwelling than he heard his fourth junior brother, Yan Zhitui, talking with third junior brother, Guan Zhan:
“Chief senior brother, do you know about the incident that occurred at Shushan?”
“What incident?” Guan Zhan, who normally had no interest in idle gossip, was attentive upon hearing that it happened at Shushan, feeling it might be good to learn more about it.
“That Jiao Xiao True Person who finished second in the White Jade Capital competition last ti and later ford a Second-Grade Golden Core, it is said he recently inadvertently violated so sect rule and got confined by Shushan.” Yan Zhitui said with a laugh.
Qiu Changtian: !!!
