Chapter 417 Annual Contract, Generous Rewards
November 24th.
As the year draws to a close, heavy snowfall blankets the entire city of Yushui in white.
At Chu Qinghe's home, both the courtyard and the inner courtyard were covered with a layer of white snow.
Even the pond in the villa was covered with a layer of ice.
A biting cold wind kept blowing around us.
Inside the main house, the doors were tightly shut and the windows were ajar.
The warmth emanating from the several stoves burning inside the house gave the whole place a touch of springtime.
Qu Feiyan, Lianxing, Wanwan, and Lin Shiyin sat at a square table playing mahjong.
Every time Qu Feiyan and Wanwan drew a tile, the way they rubbed the mahjong tile so hard with their thumbs made one worry that they might crush it with their force.
On Chu Qinghe's bed, Xiao Zhao and Xue Qianxun sat facing each other playing Go, with some paper strips pasted on their foreheads and a pile of broken gold coins next to them.
The fact that Shenshui Palace no longer possesses the low-grade Dao-level martial art "Ten Thousand Swords Across the World" could significantly lower its strength by a level.
Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Xiao Zhao hummed in agreement and then looked towards the Divine Water Palace.
Before the group even reached the archway between the detached courtyard and the inner courtyard, Shenshui Palace had a sudden thought.
This made Wanwan and Qu Feiyan, who were having a bad run of luck at the time, feel an urge to snatch the two of them away.
However, during that period of cultivation, the power of heaven and earth within the Qi Sea acupoint of the Divine Water Palace had not yet occupied 40% of the entire Qi Sea acupoint's capacity.
"System, use the 'Cultivation Level Card'."
But the resentment on Wanwan's face only increased, not decreased.
If a martial artist can take it, it can allow a former martial artist to directly enter the Lesser Grandmaster realm, or even achieve immortality.
The long series of commotions over there made Jellyfish Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin look at Shenshui Palace with puzzled expressions, wondering what kind of trouble Shenshui Palace was up to today.
Half an hour ago, during the investigation at Shenshui Palace, before learning about the information of the various items drawn that time, Shenshui Palace's eyes lit up.
Now that they've collided with Jellyfish Xiao Zhao and Lian Xing, the chemical reaction produced by the eight of them is too weak.
He lit a stick of purple jade datura incense.
Almost the instant Fu Nanxin had that thought, a surge of abundant and pure power of heaven and earth appeared within the Divine Water Palace.
He then waved to Da Zhao, who was standing to the side, to indicate his presence.
During this brief moment of sleep, Chu Qinghe's true essence was slowly circulating within his body, refining strands of encrypted heaven and earth power and sending them into his nearly full Qi Sea acupoint.
Shuimu Xiaozhao and Lianxing are respectively the Palace Master of Qu Feiyan and the Seventh Palace Master of Yihua Palace.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a cultivation level card (Divine Seating Realm Perfection).]
Given Fu Nanxin's current strength, she would be afraid even of martial artists at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired 70,000 taels of gold.]
What the Divine Water Palace truly valued was the other thing I received during that sign-in session.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a powerful medicine—Bodhi Mind-Soothing Grass*1.]
Bodhi-infused grass is also extremely rare.
[The punishment has been automatically added to your system inventory. Please check and retrieve it yourself.]
The fact that the Divine Water Palace is now missing a low-grade Dao-level martial art is neither a blessing nor a curse.
At the end of the Si hour, while waiting at the Divine Water Palace, a system notification suddenly popped up.
"They're all annual visas anyway, so the tiers are the same!"
Of all the things I received from that year's contract, the low-grade martial arts card was secondary.
That resulted in the eighth son having a hard time, while the Kamisui Palace spent even less time on the game.
Like last night, it dragged on until almost dawn.
On the other hand, the Divine Water Palace suddenly fell into an extremely mysterious state.
Ke Wanwan is the same.
Jellyfish Fu Nan smiled and said, "After that, I didn't think too badly about the people in Qu Feiyan who were suitable to learn 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source'. Before going back, I taught my master 'Seven Symbols of Heavenly Will' and gave him these pills and medicinal wine. I then returned before going up."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a low-grade Dao-rank martial arts card (Return to Simplicity)*1.]
In response to what the Divine Water Palace said, Water Mother Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "Bad!"
At the beginning of the Si hour.
"I saved up one month less for the sign-in this time, so I hope the sign-in rewards are of lower value!"
According to the system's previous introduction, the cultivation level card itself contains a small amount of the power of heaven and earth and my own energy, which can help the Divine Water Palace break through.
However, feeling the abundant power of heaven and earth in his Qihai acupoint, Shenshuigong frowned.
Before returning to the villa, Shenshuigong said, "Prepare to condense your martial arts golden core now."
In terms of value and effect, it is far inferior to Phoenix Blood.
Even the various sword intents that were originally in the dantian of the Divine Water Palace seemed to be attracted and slowly flowed out from the middle dantian, eventually converging towards the Qi Sea acupoint of the Divine Water Palace.
My heart aches so much I can hardly breathe.
After all, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao had stayed there for nearly seventy years, while Xiao Zhao had only stayed at the Divine Water Palace for a year. Naturally, the Divine Water Palace was more attractive to Xiao Zhao.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a common item—Dragon Essence Liquid*1 bottle.]
When Da Zhao set off to continue his cultivation inside, Shenshui Palace turned its attention to the system inventory.
Before retreating into the inner courtyard, the Divine Water Palace channeled the power of heaven and earth into the Evil Emperor's Relic.
