"Thank you for the advice." Jiang Wuyuan could tell that Zhan Buhui meant well, so he nodded in agreement.
“In that case, we military personnel aren’t as indecisive as those people from the City Lord’s Mansion.” Zhan Buhui took out two black bags from his spatial ring and tossed them into the arms of Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin respectively. “Here, this is a reward from the military. The military doesn’t have the authority to give you academic credits, but here are some gold coins.”
Zhan Buhui took out two more cards and stuffed them into the two people's hands: "There are 100 million gold coins in each card. Don't think it's too little. It's just that the military's funds have been quite tight recently. Besides, I just used the military's money to bid on an ancient secret realm, hahaha."
You've done a great job protecting the key this time, so please don't refuse.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyuan accepted the reward without any qualms.
Thank you.
Ruan Kongyin also thanked them earnestly.
"You're welcome." Zhan Buhui waved his hand generously and looked at Ruan Yanqing, who hadn't spoken until now. "Uncle Ruan, now that the reward has been delivered, I'll be leaving now. I have a lot of things to do later."
"Go ahead." Ruan Yanqing nodded gently to him. "Be careful during the mission."
"Yes!" Zhan Buhui stood up, gave Ruan Yanqing a serious military salute, and then turned and left.
Ruan Yanqing watched Zhan Buhui leave before turning her gaze back to Jiang Wuyuan and Ruan Kongyin: "You two should go back too. The military's rewards this time are quite generous, enough to satisfy your cultivation resources for a period of time."
"Then we'll be going now, Uncle." Ruan Kongyin didn't plan to stay too long and left the office with Jiang Wuyuan after saying goodbye.
"What are we going to do next?" Ruan Kongyin asked with a smile.
Jiang Wuyuan frowned as he thought of his miserable experience the night before last: "My cultivation is still too weak. I need to break through to the Great Martial Master level as soon as possible."
“You’re already very good. Too much of a good thing can be bad,” Ruan Kongyin comforted him. “I’m most afraid of being impatient on the path of cultivation. I hope you can always maintain your previous rationality and composure.”
Jiang Wuyuan took a deep breath to suppress his unease.
Ever since he met that person that day, he has felt uneasy, as if something big is about to happen.
This feeling also unconsciously affected his state of mind. He never expected that Ruan Kongyin was so perceptive that she could notice it.
“Okay, I’ve got it.” Jiang Wuyuan replied.
Seeing that he had truly calmed down, Ruan Kongyin felt relieved and bid farewell to Jiang Wuyuan at the crossroads.
——
After rushing back to his dormitory, Jiang Wuyuan leaned back on the sofa, first clearing his mind and resting for a while, then sat up straight and took out the military reward that Zhan Buhui had given him.
It was a bag about the size of a palm, and Jiang Wuyuan curiously opened it.
Surprisingly, the bag was very spacious and even filled with many treasures.
It turned out to be a spatial bag. Jiang Wuyuan was somewhat surprised.
This is a rare find, just as rare as a spatial ring.
Of course, what was inside was even more unexpected for Jiang Wuyuan.
It's probably because I looked up his information these past two days that the resources he has are very suitable for sword cultivators.
First, three longswords are neatly arranged.
Both are Tier 4 weapons, and their quality is comparable to that of Qingyan Tage.
However, Qingyan Tage is forged from special ore, so it is naturally different from ordinary refined iron.
However, Jiang Wuyuan was still very satisfied with the reward. Three of his third-tier flying swords had been broken, and this number made up for it.
Although he cannot yet perfectly control a fourth-tier weapon, he expects he will be able to do so after breaking through to the Great Martial Master level.
Next was an invitation that was placed separately.
Jiang Wuyuan picked it up and examined it carefully. He discovered that it was an invitation for him to join the military in entering the ancient secret realm that Zhan Buhui had purchased. Furthermore, all the spoils obtained in the secret realm would belong to him and would not need to be handed over. The invitation was for a month later.
Another good thing.
Jiang Wuyuan put the invitation away with satisfaction.
In the corner, there were two piles of blood crystals and essences, all of which were of the fourth rank, totaling about a hundred or so.
It is indeed a very generous reward; the value of that invitation alone is self-evident.
Ancient secret realms are no ordinary secret realms.
Ordinary secret realms are naturally formed and could be any scene in any time and space, so their value is difficult to assess.
Ancient secret realms are different; they are independent spatial realms created by powerful cultivators countless years ago. They might be training grounds, or the survival grounds of once-glorious sects. The resources within are unimaginable, and one might even obtain the true inheritance of ancient cultivators!
But that's all for later; there's no need to rush into thinking about it.
Jiang Wuyuan put aside his thoughts, threw the items into his spatial ring, stood up, and walked towards the underground training room.
He originally intended to go to the Blood Burning Tower to further improve his strength, but Ruan Kongyin's words enlightened him.
Perhaps he had had it too easy all along, so when he was beaten up, he lost his composure.
He thought he could act recklessly because he had his master's protection, but wasn't that just a sign of arrogance?
Ruan Yanqing was right when she told him this when he enrolled. He had indeed done better than many of his peers, but it was still far from enough.
It settles down.
Jiang Wuyuan sat cross-legged and took out the whetstone that his teacher had sponsored for his purchase.
Last time, he felt that his sword intent was not up to par, so he did not use it, but now is the perfect time.
Every breakthrough in one's state of mind makes the path of spiritual practice smoother and easier.
Jiang Wuyuan calmed his mind and, following the instructions of the sword spirit, fiercely attacked the whetstone with his sword intent.
