Chapter 50: Sending Red Envelopes

Brother Cheng is never stingy with his own people. A shimmering silver storage ring floated out. The eyes of all the third generation disciples in the venue froze! No way, a storage ring as a reward on the first day of entry? Although a storage ring is not an offensive spiritual artifact, it involves space, and even the lowest level is a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact. This level of spiritual artifact is generally difficult for ordinary disciples to obtain. Just like Luo Yuan, Yin Xuer, and others never had one before; it was only on the day of the Feixian Sect’s destruction that the elders gave them one each while fleeing. It goes without saying how precious this item is. And judging by the spiritual power fluctuations on the surface of this storage ring, it’s not a low-level one. It could very well be a Tier Four Spiritual Artifact! Wei Miao was shocked, he even forgot to reach out and take it. Because he suspected the Sect Leader had given him the wrong treasure. There is indeed a custom of preparing a welcome gift on entry, but generally, the Sect Leader only rewards the most outstanding one or two disciples. His talent ranked only mid to low among these 55 people. As for the others, they would receive a welcome gift from their master after officially taking one. These welcome gifts would either be Tier Two Spirit Armor and Spirit Sword, or a few Tier Three Qi Gathering Pills, or a hundred middle-grade spirit stones and the like. This is already considered a pleasant surprise for newly admitted disciples. To get more, one has to rely on their efforts in the future. Such as monthly stipends, contribution points, competition rewards, training outside to find heavenly and earthly treasures, etc. "Is this... for me?" He looked at the ring floating in front of him, a bit unsure. "What else? Do you suspect I’ve hidden a bomb inside?" Wei Miao couldn’t understand what the Sect Leader meant by a bomb, but he understood that it was indeed for him. He quickly and joyfully received it into his palm. Then, he released his divine sense to perceive the space inside the ring. He actually held a bit of expectation; since the Sect Leader sent a ring, maybe there were a few spirit stones inside? Soon, his expression froze. He was almost so scared he would throw the ring away. "Here, here, here..." His hands trembled, and at this moment, the ring seemed as heavy as a thousand catties, exceeding his limit of endurance. Jiang Cheng said blandly, "Check it; there should be a set of Tier Four Spirit Armor, a Tier Four Spirit Sword, a bundle of Spirit Talismans, and enough pills and spirit stones for you to break through to the Soul Splitting Realm." These were all looted from the Red Sun Sect. Just the Tier Five Spirit Armor and Spirit Swords numbered over a hundred sets, with millions of top-grade spirit stones, and hundreds of bottles of Spirit Platform Realm pills, most of which he exchanged for points. In addition, there were a dozen Tier Six Spiritual Artifacts. Giving these to Wei Miao was merely some trash of the Soul Splitting Realm tier. top-grade spirit stones just equated to 1 point. One Tier Four Spiritual Artifact was just 10 points, not to mention it’s not a consumable item. In Jiang Cheng’s eyes, this was just a drop in the ocean, not even worth a hundred points in total. When Wei Miao advances to the Soul Splitting Realm in the future, he could probably earn him back two or three hundred points, Brother Cheng cared about cultivation speed. If spirit stones and pills could boost it, why slowly undergo ascetic cultivation? This investment is quite cost-effective. When they break through to the Spirit Platform Realm or Celestial Fate Realm in the future, those abundant rewards of sea-like quantities of points would be even more. However, what he considered junk, others didn’t see that way. The breath of these new third-generation disciples stalled, their entire beings becoming dumbfounded. What did they just hear? Tier Four Spirit Armor, Spirit Sword? Two bundles of Spirit Talismans? And enough spirit stones and pills to reach the Soul Splitting Realm? Wei Miao is still at the Energy-Introducing Fifth Layer; breaking through to Spirit Formation Realm, then Gathering Yuan Realm, then Soul Splitting Realm, would require at least thousands of spirit stones and dozens of bottles of pills, right? These people hadn’t joined any sect before; before entering, they either cultivated within their families or as pure loose cultivators seeking opportunities in the mortal world. The resources within this ring were too high-end for them, legendary treasures capable of inciting a bloodstorm. And it was so easily bestowed? Bestowed to Wei Miao, whose talent wasn’t even as good as theirs? Honestly, even Qi Cang was a bit surprised. The Eight Clouds Hall’s true disciples also received ’generous’ welcome gifts upon entry. But those were generally just a few hundred top-grade spirit stones, or Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts at most. No one has ever received such a reward upon entry; is this insanity? But when you think about it more, it seems to make sense. Despite Eight Clouds Hall’s wealth, it has tens of thousands of disciples, and resources are always insufficiently distributed. Unlike the Feixian Sect, which currently has fewer than a hundred people. "The cultivation realm is fraught with danger and peril. I give you Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts to better protect yourself. I give you pills and spirit stones, hoping you become a pillar of the sect as soon as possible." Hearing Jiang Cheng’s courteous words, everyone’s hearts were burning with emotion and gratitude. Wei Miao was in tears, his entire body trembling, and fell to his knees again with a thud. He repeatedly kowtowed fervently. "Sect Leader, I will never forget your nurturing! I shall never disappoint the Sect Leader’s expectations in the future and would readily go through fire and water for the sect! The direction of the Sect Leader’s sword is the goal I, Wei Miao, will pursue to the end of my life!" He was already willing to die for the Sect Leader. Brother Cheng felt a bit overwhelmed by the favor. Seriously, brother, some trash is causing you to lose control? But he was still very satisfied; who wouldn’t like loyal disciples? After Wei Miao stepped down, the next disciple hurriedly stepped forward, eagerly bowing and kowtowing nine times. "Du Yu pays respects to the Sect Leader!" The system’s prompt sounded again, gaining 6 points. Very good, another one of my people. Reward! Again it was a storage ring, again Tier Four Spiritual Artifacts accompanied by the resources to reach the Soul Splitting Realm. Despite Wei Miao’s precedent, Du Yu was still overjoyed and moved beyond words. Other disciples were green-eyed! So it wasn’t Wei Miao who was singled out, but everyone had a share? Heavens! Joining the Feixian Sect was like entering a treasure cave! Disciple after disciple stepped forward to bow to the Sect Leader, the system prompting again and again. Brother Cheng was getting a little tired of ’handing out red envelopes.’ The entire hall buzzed with joy and excitement, these welcome gifts leaving a huge impact. On the first day of joining, these disciples became loyal supporters of the Feixian Sect. No choice, with resources in abundance, they could smash out death warriors. Luo Yuan and Shan Tai, watching from the sidelines, weren’t jealous; after annihilating the Red Sun Sect, the Sect Leader upgraded their equipment again. Now every elder used Tier Five, even Tier Six Spiritual Artifacts, higher than these disciples. The talents of these true disciples varied, with some evaluated by the system at just 3 points, while others reached 25 points. Achieving 20 points at the Energy-Introducing Realm indicated strong talent. When Luo Yuan and Yin Xiaoxue’s group first met Jiang Cheng, the highest reached 60 points, but that was at the Gathering Yuan Realm. The second-to-last to appear was Lin Ning. When she also bowed, the system increased prompt notification again. "Ding, you have received the allegiance of a subordinate with Hidden Phoenix Bloodline and gained 1600 point rewards."
