In the entire Zhenyuan Sect, Mu Rujie was the only one wearing a mask.

He was the only one who dared to humiliate Qiao Wanli in front of the sect leader.

Regardless of status, or realm and strength.

Mu Rujie can be said to be second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

Li Zhiming's expression changed slightly. This was a very bad sign.

Mu Rujie had something against him and wanted to punish him right away.

In the entire Zhenyuan Sect, Li Zhiming only has irreconcilable conflicts with the Qi Yang lineage.

Mu Rujie's targeting made him realize that this person might be the biggest backer behind Qi Yang.

Li Zhiming suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.

"How about you take the position of the chief elder of this elder council?"

Qiao Wanli asked.

"Not interested."

"Your Punishment Hall is too rigid and old-fashioned, that's why the disciples hate you."

Qiao Wanli spoke without mercy.

"The Punishment Hall oversees the entire Zhenyuan Sect. If you are as weak as you, how can you take on this important responsibility?"

Mu Rujie snorted coldly.

Song Hongyan watched her two most capable generals arguing and just smiled without stopping them.

Because she had already gotten used to this situation.

Qiao Wanli and Mu Rujie were once brothers from the same school.

"Your Punishment Hall has your Punishment Hall's style of doing things, and my Elders' Council has its own style of doing things. We have different ideologies and cannot work together. I don't want to get entangled with you any more."

"As for punishing Li Zhiming, it's pure nonsense." Qiao Wanli said lightly.

"Li Zhiming has no respect for his elders and ignores the dignity of the Council of Elders. He deserves to be punished!" Mu Rujie retorted, and the two of them confronted each other.

"Qingyue, what do you think?"

Song Hongyan suddenly spoke.

"Master, I think that after Li Zhiming comprehended the stone tablet, his internal Qi was affected. In addition, he had been abandoned before, which damaged his foundation. It is understandable that he is in seclusion to heal his injuries."

"Disciple feels that there is no need to punish Li Zhiming for such trivial matters." Li Qingyue thought for a moment and replied.

"Speaking of the matter of Li Zhiming's cultivation being abolished, this was a good thing done by the Punishment Hall, but in the end Li Zhiming was slandered. Mu Rujie, you, the Punishment Hall, wrongly accused a good man and almost caused our sect to lose a genius. Is this what you call taking on a heavy responsibility?" Qiao Wanli said sarcastically.

"The Second Commander was in charge of this matter. I was not aware of it. Besides, who would know that the evidence was forged?"

"Having said that, your Punishment Hall punished us too quickly. There was plenty of time to investigate carefully. Or is it that someone in the Punishment Hall abused their power for personal gain and deliberately targeted us?" Qiao Wanli continued to ask indirect questions.

"Old dog Qiao, stop talking nonsense here!" Mu Rujie was obviously a little angry.

"Okay, that's enough."

Song Hongyan spoke up to stop the two of them, then she looked at Li Zhiming.

"Li Zhiming, you have successfully unlocked the second-order stone tablet. You have made great contributions to the sect and deserve a reward."

"This is your reward, 500,000 top-grade spirit stones!"

Song Hongyan waved her hand, and a high-end storage bag floated in front of Li Zhiming.

"Fuck, five hundred thousand!"

Li Zhiming took a look at the mountain of top-grade spirit stones piled up in his storage bag and felt a little dizzy.

This reward is too much.

However, he calmed down immediately.

All gifts have already been secretly priced.

The sect master gave him so many spirit stones, probably because he wanted him to hand over the skills he had comprehended to the sect.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Not only Li Zhiming, but everyone present showed surprise.

Five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones; this was really too much.

When the Saint Girl was comprehending the stone tablet, the reward that the Sect Master gave to his disciple was only more than 200,000 top-grade spirit stones.

When it came to Li Zhiming, it doubled.

Those who don’t know would think that Li Zhiming is the sect leader’s illegitimate son.

"Five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, that's too crazy."

Yun Cang was amazed.

His one hundred thousand top-grade items were actually spiritual armor and spiritual weapons, which were somewhat not enough.

Five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. An ordinary first-grade warrior may not be able to accumulate so many in his lifetime.

These spirit stones are more than enough to buy ten top-grade spirit weapons, and the price of earth-level skills and martial arts will not exceed one hundred thousand.

You can even establish a medium-sized sect.

"Sect Master, according to convention, shouldn't there be a reward of 100,000 top-grade spirit stones and some natural treasures for comprehending one of the nine stone tablets deep in the Hidden Stele Valley?"

"Master, isn't 500,000 too much?"

"Think twice, Sect Master."

The sect's top leaders all spoke up to persuade Song Hongyan.

"Everyone, Li Zhiming comprehended a second-order stone tablet. Isn't it normal to get more rewards? Why do you have so many opinions? Are you jealous?"

"That's right, a bunch of old guys are jealous of a youngster. Isn't it embarrassing to tell others about it?"

Yun Cang and another uncle from Qingluan Peak spoke up and started a war of words with everyone.

Li Qingyue also felt that her master's actions were a bit too much. Li Zhiming did make contributions, but he was given too much.

After a while, the hall finally quieted down.

At this time, Song Hongyan spoke.

"Two hundred thousand of these top-grade spirit stones are the sect's reward, and the remaining three hundred thousand are my personal reward. Everyone, do you have any objections now?"

Song Hongyan asked calmly.

"this……"

Everyone was stunned and stopped talking.

"Thank you for the reward, Sect Master. I am just a dull disciple. Although I have solved the stone tablet, the skills recorded in it are obscure and difficult to understand. In the three-day limit, I have only comprehended a little bit. I am really ashamed."

Li Zhiming shook his head and sighed.

"The inheritance hidden in the second-order stone tablet is definitely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. If you can comprehend the basics within three days, it will be enough."

"Li Zhiming, I will give you another one million top-grade spirit stones in my personal capacity!"

"If you don't want the spirit stones, you can choose one item from the sect's treasure pavilion or library to take away. I will have the head of Danfeng personally give you the elixir you want. At the same time, you can take three treasures from me personally. The martial arts skills will not be lower than the heavenly grade, the spiritual weapons and spiritual weapons will not be lower than the heavenly grade, and the same goes for the elixirs!"

Song Hongyan spoke calmly, her star-like eyes staring quietly at Li Zhiming, waiting for his answer.

The price I offered was already high enough. This reward was the highest since the founding of the Zhenyuan Sect.

The first option is worth 1.5 million top-grade spirit stones, and the second option is worth far more than 1.5 million top-grade spirit stones.

She hoped that Li Zhiming would choose the latter, which would prove that Li Zhiming had good vision.

"hiss……"

Li Zhiming took a breath of cold air.

This is the pit that the headmaster dug for himself, but it is not a big pit. It can be said to be a transaction.

However, although 1.5 million top-grade spirit stones may seem like a lot, they are far less than the latter.

When Li Zhiming fell into deep thought.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the sect leader had gone crazy.

Mu Rujie even said: "Master, you are crazy."

"Master, this is really inappropriate."

Qiao Wanli also spoke up. It was rare that he shared the same opinion as Mu Rujie.

Even Yun Cang touched his chin and fell into deep thought, wondering if there was some relationship between Li Zhiming and the sect leader that others didn't know about?

For example, Li Zhiming is the illegitimate son of the clan leader.

Otherwise, why is his talent so high?

"Sect Master, this reward is too much. The Danfeng Peak Master is refining medicine, and it's hard for us to get one!"

"Sect Master, the Stele Valley belongs to the Zhenyuan Sect. Li Zhiming was able to comprehend the stone tablet because it was an opportunity given to him by the sect. As a disciple of the Zhenyuan Sect, he should be aware of dedicating what he has learned to the sect!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang is right!"

"That's right. I think we should follow the usual practice and give Li Zhiming a total of 200,000 top-grade spirit stones, and then Li Zhiming should hand over the proceeds to the sect. This is reasonable!"

"Yeah, I think so."

Everyone was talking about it.

Li Zhiming was sweating profusely. If the trend continued like this, he would have to hand over the Taiqing Heart Technique today.

However, the Taiqing Heart Method is extremely difficult to practice. Even if it is handed over, there are only a few people in the entire Zhenyuan Sect who can fully comprehend it.

"Master, please think twice."

Li Qingyue also bowed.

Song Hongyan didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Zhiming quietly and listened to the noise in the hall.

Others may not know what the second-order stone tablet means, but she knows.

The first three sequences of stone tablets may all contain the legendary immortal-level skills!

Even if she only got a glimpse of a small part of the immortal-level skills, it was enough for her to gain a deep understanding and even greatly increase her chances of entering the realm of a grandmaster!

She would never let go of this opportunity.
