Chapter 257 Rewards

Lingxiao Peak, Lingxiao Palace.

This hall is mainly built with obsidian. The walls, floor and pillars are all dark black, making it look extremely solemn and serious.

The black dome is inlaid with 128,600 star-like jade essences. The deep blue light makes the dome look like a starry sky and illuminates the entire hall.

A Jindan demon cultivator has appeared within the sect. This is a big deal.

Demonic cultivators are very good at causing destruction, and Jindan demonic cultivators are even more terrifying. They can easily destroy a market town where tens of thousands of people gather. Their destructive power is extremely terrifying.

Of course, demonic cultivators just like to use human lives to practice their evil methods, and they don’t dare to kill indiscriminately without any scruples.

First of all, the major sects cannot tolerate this kind of behavior. Once a Jindan demon cultivator starts a large-scale massacre, the sect will definitely do its best to hunt him down.

If Yuanying Zhenjun takes action, it will be difficult for the Jindan demon cultivator to escape.

On the other hand, killing a large number of cultivators could easily attract evil spirits. The stronger the cultivation, the more terrifying the evil spirits attracted.

Not to mention Jindan Zhenren, even Huashen Daojun dare not say that he can ignore evil spirits.

It is precisely because of such restrictions that the practitioners of the Demonic Sect dare not be too arrogant, and ordinary people and low-level practitioners have a way to survive.

That's right, Qingyun Sect cannot tolerate the presence of Jindan demon cultivators within the sect.

Gao Xian risked his life to kill the Jindan demon cultivator this time, eliminating a major threat and letting outsiders know how powerful the Qingyun Sect is. He was able to kill the Jindan cultivator while still building his foundation, which brought honor to the sect.

Such a great achievement must be rewarded handsomely.

Generally speaking, the Wind Department’s Discipline Office is responsible for rewarding disciples. They record and evaluate the sect’s cultivators below the Golden Core level and make decisions on rewards and punishments.

These reward and punishment decisions must be coordinated with the Discipline Institute, Good Deeds Institute, etc., and they will be responsible for implementing the rewards and punishments.

Gao Xian's contribution this time is so great that the Disciplinary Committee is not qualified to review it, so it still has to be submitted to the eight ministries and twenty-four institutes for discussion.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Yun Changfeng, the head of the Qian department, sat in the main seat, while the heads of other departments stood on both sides of him.

The first seat of each courtyard, and then the rows in order.

The leader Yun Zai Tian was not present. Yun Changfeng, the head of the Qian department, had the highest status and usually presided over the meetings.

There are a total of seventeen Jindan present today. The others are either busy or in seclusion for cultivation.

After all, it's not an emergency, so not everyone needs to be present.

Yun Changfeng glanced at the crowd. The heads of each academy were all sitting upright, except Ma Qianjun, who looked relatively relaxed and didn't care much about Yun Changfeng's majestic gaze.

The expressions of the several dancers are different, but they are generally relaxed.

Yun Changfeng said: "Jingxu, come and tell us what happened."

Although everyone present had received the news, they were still not very clear about the specific situation. It would be more appropriate for Lu Jingxu, who was personally involved, to give a detailed introduction to the situation.

After a day of rest, Lu Jingxu recovered some of his energy, and at least his dry skin was no longer so scary.

Lu Jingxu's speech became more vigorous as he recounted in detail his encounter with the Jindan demon cultivator.

Everyone felt a little sympathy for Lu Jingxu when they saw his miserable appearance.

Lu Jingxu has a gentle personality, is meticulous and thoughtful in his work, and likes to help others. He is a good person.

Regardless of their factions, all the Jindan present here have a good impression of this good old man.

After Lu Jingxu finished speaking, Shui Yuying couldn't help but say, "Gao Xian defeated the demon and cultivated the golden elixir, but no one saw the battle process. Is there any problem here?"

Even though Lu Jingxu had a good temper, he couldn't help but get a little angry at this moment. What did Shui Yuying mean by this? He suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What is the problem that Shui Shouzuo is talking about?"

Shui Yuying didn't care about Lu Jingxu's anger. She had no problem with this good old man, but he was from the Yun family faction after all.

Including Gao Xian, everyone is deeply branded with the Yun family label.

This time, Gao Xian defeated the Jindan demon cultivator, which caused a shock throughout the sect and also greatly enhanced the reputation of the Yun family.

The other families were quite concerned about this and did not want to see the Yun family become too powerful.

Shui Yuying has the worst relationship with Gao Xian, so it’s perfect for her to be the villain.

Shui Yuying is also very positive about this. It is always good to suppress Gao Xian as much as possible.

Facing Lu Jingxu's question, Shui Yuying said slowly, "Gao Xian was born as a casual cultivator. He was mediocre until he was 24 years old. After he turned 24, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

"Such a growth path makes people have to be suspicious..."

Lu Jingxu became even angrier. What the hell was this? He actually doubted Gao Xian's background.

If Gao Xian had not yet entered the sect, this would still be acceptable. But now Gao Xian is a true disciple of Shen Xiao, and Shui Yuying's questioning of Gao Xian's identity is simply a slap in everyone's face.

He asked with a somewhat grim expression: "Shui Shouzuo doubts Gao Xian's identity?!"

Shui Yuying also knew that saying this would be too offensive, after all, Gao Xian had to have True Lord’s approval to enter the sect.

However, Yun Zai Tian Zhen Jun was high up. He would take care of his own younger generation, but he had to consider the overall situation of the sect and the ideas of other families. He could not be too biased towards the Yun family.

The True Lord doesn't care about small doubts at all.

Shui Yuying nodded: "He is just a casual cultivator. He won the Qingyun Dharma Assembly and entered the sect. Then he defeated the Jindan demon cultivator. One cannot help but doubt his origins."

"Master Shui, you can't say such things carelessly."

Lu Jingxu's face turned red with anger, mainly because he was seriously injured and it was difficult for him to control his qi and blood, so he looked a little out of control.

Shui Yuying was not angry. She said calmly, "I am just discussing the matter at hand. Why should Lord Lu be angry?"

She added: "If Gao Xian has no problem, we can discuss it and there's nothing to worry about."

Lu Jingxu was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid of chilling people's hearts. Gao Xian is desperately trying to kill the Jindan Demon Cultivator, but we are questioning his identity. What's going on?"

"True gold is not afraid of fire."

Shui Yuying said disapprovingly: "If we want to make use of Gao Xian, we must understand his situation. Otherwise, what should we do if something goes wrong in the future? Will you be responsible?"

Just as Lu Jingxu was about to say that he was responsible, Yun Changfeng spoke up, "Master Shui suspects Gao Xian's identity, do you have any evidence?"

Shui Yuying was silent for a moment and said, "If I had evidence, why would I say so much?"

"Gao Xian certainly had his chance, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to enter the sect. It's ridiculous to doubt his identity for this reason."

Yun Changfeng said: "There is no need to discuss this matter further."

Shui Yuying was a little unconvinced, but she didn't dare to refute Yun Changfeng in person. She stood up to be the bad guy, but she didn't want to do anything to Gao Xian.

Instead, through these words, he tried to dispel the good impression that the Jindan from other factions had on Gao Xian, or at least made them a little concerned about Gao Xian.

In this way, the reward for Gao Xian would be greatly reduced. This way they achieved their goal.

Yun Changfeng certainly understood Shui Yuying's intention, but he didn't care about it.

There are many sects and factions, and they attack each other. It would be strange if they were united.

Today Shui Yuying is finding reasons to attack Gao Xian, and tomorrow if something good happens to the Shui family, they will also interfere.

This is the current situation of the sect, and it is also a stable state. Not to mention that he can't change it, Yun Zai Tian Zhen Jun can't change it either.

Yun Changfeng said: "Gao Xian killed the Jindan demon cultivator and saved many disciples. He has made great contributions and must be rewarded..."

"A high reward is a high reward, but there has to be a limit."

The head of Kun Department, Shui Yujun, spoke. He didn't want to attend the event, but Gao Xian's momentum was too strong and he had to suppress him.

Yun Changfeng looked at everyone: "How to reward, we still need to discuss together..."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

A group of Jindan Zhenren argued about the reward issue for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.

Yun Qingxuan, who was attending the meeting, remained silent. She hated this kind of quarrel and the meaningless internal friction among everyone.

She was quite satisfied with the result. After all, Gao Xian had just joined the sect and was a foundation-building cultivator. Too much reward would cause strong jealousy from various factions, which would definitely not be a good thing for him.

Only after Gao Xian's problem was resolved did the meeting get down to business.

Yun Changfeng said solemnly: "The identity of Jindan has been found out. He is Yin Jiushi from the Yin Demon Sect. He openly entered our sect and killed people wantonly. It is obvious that the Yin Demon Sect can no longer tolerate it..."

Yinmo Sect is located at the edge of East Wilderness, and is considered a neighbor of Qingyun Sect. Yinmo Sect has dozens of small sects under its jurisdiction, and is three times stronger than Qingyun Sect in terms of scale and power.

All along, the two sides have kept to themselves. Even if there are some minor frictions between the border sects, they do not affect the overall situation.

The situation has changed suddenly in recent years. The Lianyun Sect was attacked, which was actually done by a small sect under the Yinmo Sect.

For this reason, Yun Qingxuan had to go to Lianyun Sect in person and kill the other party's golden elixir, which was also a warning to the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not restrain themselves, but frequently invaded Qingyun Sect. This time, they even sent Yin Jiushi into Qingyun City, which was a huge provocation to Qingyun City.

Although the Qingyun Sect's top brass were prepared for this, they were still very shocked.

It seems that the Yin Demon Sect can no longer hold back, and a war may very well break out within a hundred years.

A hundred years is a lifetime for ordinary people, but for the Jindan present, it is the near future.

When the war begins, even if Qingyun Sect can finally defend its sect, countless people will inevitably die.

This is a matter of life and death for everyone. The various factions within the sect are rarely united at this time, or at least they all pretend to be united on the surface.

After the meeting, many Jindan Zhenren had solemn expressions.

After everyone left, Yun Changfeng said to Yun Qingxuan, "Go and help Gao Xian finalize the reward, so that the Good Deeds Institute won't argue."

Rewards are rewards, but there are many opinions on how to implement them. If no one takes care of Gao Xian, Gao Xian will inevitably be bullied.

Yun Qingxuan nodded. Even if it didn't matter to others, she was still willing to help Gao Xian.

"Alas, these are troubled times."

Yun Changfeng couldn't help but sighed deeply. He gave another instruction: "Tell Gao Xian to keep a low profile and try not to go out. After this battle, his reputation will spread far and wide, but he will also become a thorn in the eyes of many people."

Yun Qingxuan nodded again.

Yun Changfeng was a little helpless about his taciturn daughter, and he said, "The Yin Demon Sect's invasion is nothing, but I'm afraid this is a precursor to the East Wilderness' invasion of Jiuzhou.

"If that were to happen, the battle between East Wasteland and Nine Continents would be a bloodbath, with countless lives lost. Not to mention the Qingyun Sect, even the Xuanming Sect, the leader of Ming Continent, might not survive..."

Thinking of that terrible future, Yun Changfeng felt like a mountain was pressing down on his heart.

Yun Qingxuan said calmly: "The last war between Jiuzhou and Sihuang lasted for three thousand years. We only have a lifespan of a few hundred years. Don't think too much about it."

Yun Changfeng smiled bitterly. His daughter really knew how to comfort people.

Gao Xian, who was refining medicine at Xuandu Peak, was quite surprised to see Yun Qingxuan coming to his house.

Yun Qingxuan briefly introduced the rewards to Gao Xian, "The sect rewards you with 500,000 good deeds, 50 high-quality spirit stones, and a copy of the Qingyun Sword Scripture..."

"And the Qingyun Sword Scripture?"

Gao Xian was greatly surprised. The sect's thirty-six volumes of secret techniques were so precious, but they just passed them on to him so casually? !

"You don't like it?" Yun Qingxuan asked seriously.

"Uh, no, I like it a lot."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "Brother, please take me to receive the award. I can't wait."

Yun Qingxuan nodded.

The two were about to fly away in a beam of light when a red beam of light descended from the sky. It was none other than Li Feihuang, who was dressed in a dazzling red robe.

"You, is there something wrong?" Gao Xian was also a little surprised to see Li Feihuang. This girl's character was okay, but her brain was not so good.

He was a little confused. What was Li Feihuang doing here? Li Feihuang glanced at Yun Qingxuan. His facial features were as delicate as a painting. The crystal-clear temperament between his eyebrows was even more extraordinary and otherworldly, which made her feel a little ashamed.

She had seen Yun Qingxuan at the Dharma Assembly and knew that he was the head of the Water Department, Jindan Zhenren.

Are Yun Qingxuan and Gao Xian still related?

Li Feihuang couldn't help but feel a little sour. She suppressed her emotions and said coldly, "I have something to talk to you about!"

Gao Xian didn't want to waste time talking to Li Feihuang, so he said, "I have something urgent to do, we can talk later."

Yun Qingxuan didn't care about Li Feihuang at all. When she heard Gao Xian say this, she immediately activated the Yunguang Umbrella and took Gao Xian away into the sky.

Li Feihuang stood in the yard, staring blankly at the clouds across the sky, feeling mixed emotions in his heart...
