Chapter 636: Chapter 646 Generous Rewards
"There’s no need for a eulogy. It’s the thought that counts. According to the rules of the Sect, when a Supreme Elder passes away, their body will be sealed in the forbidden caves."
The Supreme Elder holds a special status within the Sect.
Just as the members of an Imperial Family in an empire will be interred in the Imperial Mausoleum after their death.
"Those Double Treasure Shoes, once worn, can at the very least double your movement speed. Elder Wen was once given the nickname ’Shadowless Plague God’ by his foes. I hope you won’t dishonor it."
"Go on! Continue with your cultivation and strive to advance to the Sword God Realm as soon as possible."
The Sect Master patted Chu Feng’s shoulder, offering words of encouragement.
"Mhmm!"
Chu Feng didn’t linger and left on his flying sword.
Although it has been quite some time since he advanced to the Sword Saint Realm, he has always been busy. His skill in Sword Flight was still not particularly refined.
Standing on the sword, controlling it to shoot forward, his flight was wobbly and unsteady.
This was also Chu Feng’s first time using Sword Flight in the Inner Sect’s forbidden lands, where many places were protected by Arrays, so he did not dare to act recklessly. He simply took the same route back to the Sword Inquiry Arena.
...
By now, the disciples at the Sword Inquiry Arena had already dispersed, leaving only a few lingering around.
After all, every Sect disciple has their own tasks to attend to.
Only the Inner Sect Disciples and some high-ranking Outer Disciples could enjoy relative freedom. Take Chu Feng for example, as a Mountain Master, he was quite free to do as he pleased.
His flight through the air on his sword was erratic, like a wriggling snake, drawing suppressed giggles from many who watched his clumsy display.
Probably no one thought that the victor of the Earth Rankings would be so unskilled at Sword Flight. He was like a baby just learning to walk, toddling along.
When Chu Feng arrived in front of the judges’ high platform, the people around immediately parted ways, clearing a space for him. Many looked at him with awe.
"Am I that scary?"
Chu Feng couldn’t help but touch his nose, whether they were Outer Disciples or Inner Sect experts, none dared to approach him.
After gaining fame in the Earth Rankings contest, if Chu Feng wanted to return to his low-profile life from before, he would probably have to wear a mask like Han Shuang.
He looked up at the Rank list of rewards.
His own name was conspicuously at the top and first on the list. It was an incredibly dazzling sight, and indeed a supreme honor.
"First rank in the Earth Rankings, Chu Feng, reward as follows: Merit reward, nine hundred and ten thousand."
This merit reward includes two parts: Chu Feng defended the 31st stage, fought eleven battles in total, and won consecutively. Therefore, the merit reward is astonishingly large, a total of six hundred and ten thousand."
Unfortunately, after winning eleven consecutive battles, no one else challenged him anymore, otherwise, he could have doubled the amount.
In this regard, the Sect’s merit rewards are quite generous.
In addition, for getting first place in the Earth Rankings, Chu Feng received a reward of three hundred thousand merits.
So in total, that’s exactly nine hundred and ten thousand merits.
Beyond merits, there were other rewards.
"Entry to the Sect’s Treasure Pavilion to select a Magical Treasure, one bottle of Seventh Grade Elixir to enhance cultivation, ten Spirit Stones as a gift. Access to all the privileges of an Inner Sect Disciple..."
After reading this, Chu Feng was overjoyed.
No wonder so many are eager to secure the first place in the Earth Rankings, as the rewards are unimaginably generous.
Only someone on the level of Alchemy King could concoct a Seventh-grade Elixir, and it’s exceedingly valuable.
But for Chu Feng, the Eternal Life Pill Master, this was the least attractive reward, as he himself could concoct Seventh-grade Elixirs, and surely with better effects than those awarded by the Sect.
Ten spirit stones are indeed very good.
Having decided to select a magical treasure at the Enter the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Feng is determined to go immediately.
He can rest easy only after receiving the rewards. The spirit stones can be taken first and then saved for later use when breaking through to the Sword God Realm. By that time, he will certainly need the boost from the spirit stones.
Chu Feng heads straight to the sect’s Multi-Treasure Hall.
Along the way, people occasionally salute him with gazes of admiration or awe.
Chu Feng can clearly feel that his status within the sect has skyrocketed, a difference like that between heaven and earth.
Even though he had passed the Third Level of the Qiankun Sword Formation, even though he had been promoted to the No. 106 Medicine Mountain Master, he had never been as impressive as he is now.
"Brother Chu, hello!"
"I’ve seen Brother Chu!"
From time to time, some Outer Disciples would smile and greet him. As for the Inner Sect Disciples, they were too proud, and only watched Chu Feng from a distance with fearful eyes. They would absolutely not demean themselves by taking the initiative to greet Chu Feng and show courtesy.
In the beginning, when Chu Feng encountered others greeting him, he always humbly smiled and returned the gesture.
Then, some would take the opportunity to approach and strike up a conversation, trying their best to ingratiate themselves.
After experiencing this several times, Chu Feng truly became irritated.
He had to put on a cold face, giving a slight nod when greeted, exuding an aura of aloofness.
By doing so, he finally got some peace.
His pace also quickened considerably, and after a short while, he finally arrived at the Multi-Treasure Hall.
The last time he came to the Multi-Treasure Hall to receive his rewards, he was just a nobody. Now, he has become a celebrity of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
As soon as Chu Feng entered the Multi-Treasure Hall, the manager in charge immediately came forward to greet him.
"Oh, Mountain Master Chu, you’ve finally come! Our three Hall Masters had already instructed me to wait here for you."
"Your reward items have been prepared long ago, this way please!"
This manager of the Multi-Treasure Hall was enthusiastic like a grandson, leading Chu Feng into a room behind the Multi-Treasure Hall with utmost flattery.
Chu Feng couldn’t help laughing to himself, having been prepared to queue up honestly, but it had turned out to be unnecessary. He was directly afforded the treatment of a VIP.
Strength indeed is a fine thing, bringing a sudden increase in status, a complete revolution in all kinds of treatment, allowing him to fully enjoy the addiction of being a big shot. Wherever he went, he was the subject of worship and the pursuit of countless people.
"I must maintain my true self and not lose my way. I need to continue my diligent cultivation and strive to advance to the Sword God Realm as soon as possible, to bring Xiao Ying out from the Seven Star Cave." Having lived two lifetimes, Chu Feng has not allowed a bit of success to make him arrogant or complacent, nor lose himself.
If that were to happen, he might very well become stagnant and regress.
From genius to mediocrity.
"Mountain Master Chu, please sign here and imprint your handprint!"
"The ten spirit stones are here! For raising your cultivation, a seventh-grade elixir, and a magical treasure—you may enter the treasury to select for yourself."
The manager said with a respectful smile.
"Alright!"
Chu Feng immediately signed and imprinted, receiving the ten low-grade spirit stones.
These are great items, each worth ten thousand silver taels.
Heavy in his hands.
"Mountain Master Chu, please follow me!" This manager in the Multi-Treasure Hall seems to hold a considerable position. Leading Chu Feng all the way in, passing through multiple checkpoints and gates without anyone stopping them.
