Chapter 881: Rewarding according to merit
"The combat power of this Jie Xiao is comparable to that of a top-grade Taoist immortal!" Qin Ziling replied.
"Hiss!" Tai Shijun and his grandson both took a deep breath when they heard the words.
After a long time, Tai Shijun and his grandson finally came to their senses, and then they moved their dry throats hard.
The combat effectiveness of Taoist immortals in the Thousand Shang Realm Abyss will be greatly reduced.
If the combat power of this Jie Xiao is comparable to that of a high-grade Taoist immortal, it means that the energy of blood, flesh and precious medicine contained in its body is comparable to that of a relatively powerful high-grade Taoist immortal.
The flesh and blood of a high-grade Taoist immortal bears the imprint of Heaven and contains their spiritual will. Unless one has a special method to refine it, eating the flesh and blood of a high-grade Taoist immortal directly is simply seeking death.
But it’s different for Jie Xiao, it’s a natural blood and flesh medicine.
This also means that they are now equivalent to eating the blood and flesh elixir of a relatively powerful high-grade Taoist immortal!
Soon, Tai Shijun and his grandson could not resist the temptation of the precious medicine of the flesh and blood of the Jie Xiao, and began to tear off the barbecue and eat it in big mouthfuls.
Soon, the mountain of barbecue was cleared out by the two of them.
Pure and powerful energy boiled in their stomachs, then rushed to their limbs, bones, muscles and blood vessels.
Two golden dragon shadows appeared above them at some point, flying gracefully in the sky.
"General Taishi, Taishi Ba, you guys take your time to absorb and refine it. We'll be leaving now!" Seeing this, Qin Ziling stood up with a smile, and temporarily left Xuansha Palace with Xiao Qing and Xia Yan.
" Grandpa , my eldest brother is awesome!" Tai Shiba couldn't help but say with a proud look on his face after seeing Qin Ziling and the other two leave.
"Of course it's awesome! Even the Immortal King wouldn't be willing to to entertain guests! Immortal King, what kind of person is that?
Given your grandfather's status and yours, if he looks at you a few more times and greets you, that's already a great honor. If you want him to use this level of Jie Xiao to entertain you, what level of person must you be? I'm afraid he's not even qualified to be an immortal!
Your elder brother used a Jie Xiao of this level to entertain us. It is definitely not just a matter of being awesome. It also shows that he really regards you as a brother, so he entertained us with such high standards.
It is a great opportunity for you to make friends with such a big brother. It seems that the title of the top Taoist immortal of our Taishi family will fall on you in the future!" Taishi Jun said.
"Hehe!" Tai Shiba smiled proudly.
"Look how proud you are. Hurry up and practice and refine your skills! Your elder brother is so powerful. Don't embarrass him." Tai Shi Jun poured cold water on him upon seeing this.
Upon hearing this, the smug look on Tai Shi Ba's face disappeared instantly. He immediately closed his eyes and concentrated on practicing to refine the precious medicine of Jie Xiao's flesh and blood.
…
Yin Ranyue is the master of Xuanting Peak, so her Zhenhai General Mansion was built on Xuanting Peak.
Everyone entered the Zhenhai General’s Mansion on Xuanting Peak.
Yin Ranyue was the General Zhenhai and held a high position as a general.
The disciples of Wuji Sect, Jiuxuan Sect and the Taoist immortals of the Great Barbarian South Sea sat on both sides.
After everyone was seated, Yin Ranyue did not say any polite words, but went straight to the point and rewarded the Taoist immortals in the Great Barbarian South Sea.
As for the disciples of Wuji Sect and Jiuxuan Sect, that is an internal matter and we will reward them based on their merits at another time.
The three general managers Yin Chen, Xiahou Ying and Si Shaonan made the greatest contributions, so Yin Ranyue directly gave each of them a low-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasure.
Any low-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasure is a treasure that protects the sects of forces like the Dayin Sect and the Chihuo Sect, and even for forces like the Taishi Family, it is a Taoist treasure that protects the clan. It takes countless generations of efforts to obtain a low-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasure.
The Jiuxuan Sect had been established for hundreds of thousands of years and had once had its glorious period. Only nine Taoist treasures had ever appeared in the sect. The most powerful of them was the Xuantian Mirror, which was only of the middle grade of the Xuan level.
Later on, he fell into disgrace and the Xuantian Mirror was reduced to a yellow-grade Taoist treasure. In the entire sect, there were only three yellow-grade Taoist treasures, including the Xuantian Mirror.
It is conceivable how precious the lower-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasures are to the Taoist immortal forces in the Great Barbarian South China Sea.
In fact, among the many Taoist forces present in the Great Barbarian South China Sea, some were established relatively recently or had average foundation, and only had two or three yellow-grade Taoist treasures, not even one black-grade Taoist treasure.
Even if there are Xuan-grade Taoist treasures, there are usually only one or two, and they are basically lower-grade Xuan-grade, and there are very few mid-grade Xuan-grade ones.
Even the Red Fire Sect, which is the Southern Route General Administration Office and is considered to be relatively powerful, only has two low-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasures on hand, and not even one mid-grade Xuan-level Taoist treasure.
Now Yin Ranyue took out three Xuan-grade lower-level Taoist treasures at once and distributed them to Yin Chen and the other two as rewards, which still surprised the three of them and made all the Taoist immortals jealous.
Except for Yin Chen and the other three, the rest of the Taoist immortals, Yin Ranyue, also received rewards according to their respective merits.
Some are yellow-grade Taoist treasures, others are some top-grade elixirs, top-grade immortal artifacts, bone jade Taoist talismans, and so on.
In short, the rewards distributed during the Printing and Dyeing Month were very generous, far beyond everyone's expectations.
After rewarding the merits, Yin Ranyue ordered a celebration banquet to be held at the Zhenhai General's Mansion.
In preparation for this celebration banquet, Yin Ranyue specially ordered people to go to Qin Ziling to withdraw a ninth-grade heirloom and several eighth-grade and seventh-grade heirlooms.
The Taoist immortals present had eaten eighth- and seventh-grade barbecued relic seeds before, but few had eaten ninth-grade barbecued relic seeds. Moreover, the flesh and blood of ninth-grade relic seeds were considered nutritious to them. Eating some of them could more than offset several years or even decades of hard training.
After a hearty meal, the Taoist immortals of the Great Barbarian South Sea felt more and more attached to the Zhenhai General's Mansion.
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in a mess, all for the sake of profit.
Taoist immortals are no exception.
Not only does General Zhenhai have a mysterious master behind him who is able to subdue Immortal Lord Yuansui, but he is also clear about rewards and punishments, generous and magnanimous, and not stingy at all.
The Taoist immortals in the Great Barbarian South Sea are naturally willing to support such a general who can stabilize the sea.
After the celebration banquet, Yinranyue served tea to see the guests off, but kept the twenty-five Taoist immortals who had first decided to stand up and support them.
Among these twenty-five Taoist immortals, five came forward later, but they were treated equally and retained.
"Brother Jiao, why did General Yin keep General Yinchen and others here?" The Taoist immortals left Jiuxuan Mountain in groups of three or five. On the way, they couldn't help but look back at Jiuxuan Mountain with curiosity on their faces.
“Those who are left behind are the first group of people to stand up. Given General Yin’s style, he will most likely arrange another opportunity for them.” The Taoist immortal known as Brother Jiao replied.
"No way! When it comes to rewards based on merit, they already got more than us, and now we have to arrange another opportunity for them?" The Taoist who asked the question couldn't help but say sourly.
"Rewarding people based on merit is just General Yin's way of appeasing and winning us over. You don't really think you have made a great contribution, do you?" The Taoist named Jiao asked.
"Ahem!" The Taoist touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Of course not. Given the situation at the time, even if we didn't take action, the result would not be much different."
"So, in the eyes of General Yin and the immortals behind her, killing Luan Qilin and others is not a great achievement. They can still kill them without us! What they really care about is whether we are of the same mind as them!
Chief Steward Yinchen and others were willing to stand up when the situation was still unclear, which is completely different from us standing up later. General Yin and her people behind the scenes must look at them differently. "Jiao Daoxian analyzed.
"The four people including Changsun Guangyue came out only after the immortal took action. They also..."
"This shows that if we are really willing to fully support them in the future, they will still treat us equally. It mainly depends on our future performance." Jiao Daoxian interrupted.
"I would like to fully support them, but behind Immortal Lord Yuan Sui is Immortal Lord Bian Min. This time the Immortal King has stepped forward, but what about the future? Good or bad fortune is hard to predict!" the Taoist sighed.
"Oh, yes!" Jiao Daoxian sighed.
While the Taoist immortals who were leaving were curious, Yin Chen and others who were left behind were also full of curiosity.
When it came to rewarding people based on their merits, they had already received much more than the others. Now that they were staying, could there be another chance?
But what will that chance be?
They couldn't figure it out.
Yin Ranyue did not tell them, but provided them with good food and drink every day. Until the third day, that is, after Tai Shijun and his grandson absorbed and refined the precious medicine of the flesh and blood of Jie Xiao, Jin Peng came.
"Three stewards, fellow Taoists, my master is giving a sermon today, and we invite you all to come and listen." Jin Peng came forward and said.
When everyone heard this, they realized that this opportunity was here, and they were all surprised and excited.
The world of immortal cultivation has always been full of sectarianism. There is a saying that the Tao is not passed on to inhumans, and the Dharma is not passed on to six ears.
Especially for a person of Qin Ziling's level, if you are not his disciple, it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to listen to his teachings.
Yin Chen and others are all Taoist immortals with a sect's inheritance, so it is impossible for them to easily become disciples of others.
In fact, even if Yin Chen and others wanted to become disciples of a Taoist master of that level, they generally would not accept people like them who came with skills.
For example, the former Lingyun Palace Master You Shijin was a mid-level Taoist immortal with some abilities. The Immortal Lord Yuansui was willing to give him some pointers and accept him as his disciple because he was plotting to seize the Mirage Immortal Palace in the Great Barbarian South Sea. However, he was nothing like a direct disciple.
So people like Yin Chen, who had people to guide them when they were True Immortals, had to rely on themselves to explore after they broke through to become Taoist Immortals, because they had already reached the pinnacle of their own sects and no one could guide them anymore.
In this case, once they reach a bottleneck in their practice, it will be difficult to make another breakthrough, unless they are the best among Taoist immortals and have extraordinary comprehension.
But after practicing for so many years, they are still lingering at the lower level of Taoist immortals. Obviously, in the Taoist immortal world, most of them are mediocre.
In this situation, they want to have a big breakthrough, unless they get a great opportunity, such as obtaining the flesh and blood of Jie Xiao or rare treasures such as Daoyuan Immortal Grass, Yuanhui Immortal Grass, or get enlightenment from a master.
Now, Qin Ziling said that he was even more powerful than Yuan Sui, but he allowed them to go and listen to the sermon. If some real information was revealed during the sermon, it would be a great opportunity for Yin Chen and others.
