Chapter 253 Reward
Seeing Song Wen coming, Hao Quan bowed.
"Hello, senior."
Every time he traded with Hao Quan, Song Wen covered his face with a cloak, and Hao Quan knew almost nothing about Song Wen.
The location of each transaction was also temporarily selected by Song Wen and sent to Hao Quan.
For safety, before each transaction, Song Wen would let a holy armor Gu lurk in Hao Quan's residence and monitor him for a day. If he found that the other party was suspicious, Song Wen would not show up as promised.
What made Song Wen very satisfied was that so far, the transaction between the two had gone smoothly.
Hao Quan was also very satisfied with this transaction.
He could buy fifteen to twenty Huangjingzhi from Yaofeng every month, and he could earn hundreds of spirit stones by reselling them.
For a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, this was already a considerable income, and there was no need to take any risks. The other party was very happy to pay the spirit stones every time.
"Senior, you contacted me last time and said you were going out, but I didn't expect you would be gone for half a year. During this half year, I spent all my wealth on buying Polygonatum odoratum. Senior, you haven't come back yet. During this period, I have been very poor."
Song Wen did not respond to Hao Quan's complaint, and said in a cold voice.
"How many Polygonatum odoratum are there this time?"
"Senior, a total of 34 plants."
"Oh! So many this time? Well done." Song Wen's tone revealed a hint of obvious satisfaction.
Song Wen raised his hand and threw a storage bag to Hao Quan.
"Here are 8,000 spirit stones, and the extra ones will be your reward."
"Thank you, senior."
Hao Quan was a little excited. After taking the storage bag, he threw another storage bag to Song Wen.
Song Wen's spiritual consciousness invaded the storage bag, and after confirming that there was no problem with the Polygonatum odoratum in it, his figure disappeared on the spot.
In the next few days, Song Wen stayed in the cave and developed the Blood Burst Pill.
Song Wen always felt that he was only one step away from successfully developing a new blood-bursting pill, but he could never take that step.
Every attempt ended in failure.
On the eighth day, he received a message from Zhou Siyi, asking Song Wen to go to the alchemy room as soon as possible, saying that there was something good waiting for him.
After hastily tidying up the cave, Song Wen got up and rushed to the alchemy room.
Before he reached the Xuanzi alchemy room, he saw Zhou Siyi hanging in the air, as if waiting for someone.
"Sister Zhou, who are you waiting for?" Song Wen flew to Zhou Siyi's side on his sword and asked.
"Waiting for you, Junior Brother Wu."
She raised her right hand and threw a storage bag to Song Wen.
Song Wen subconsciously took the storage bag and found that there were actually 20,000 spirit stones in it.
"Sister Zhou, what are you doing?" Song Wen asked in surprise.
"You saved me that day, and I said I would find you a spirit beast as a reward, but you refused to accept it, so I can only thank you with spirit stones."
Song Wen had an indecisive look on his face, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart, whether to accept the 20,000 spirit stones.
He looked extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to get this huge amount of spirit stones; on the other hand, he felt that accepting others' gifts would be embarrassing.
"I just took the effort, and it is not worth such a valuable reward. I can't accept this spirit stone. Senior Sister Zhou, please take it back."
Zhou Siyi smiled faintly, she thought she had seen through what Song Wen was thinking.
"Junior Brother Wu, just accept it. The sect reward I received for successfully completing this mission is far more than 20,000 spirit stones."
Song Wen, with a look of entanglement on his face, put the storage bag into his arms a little awkwardly.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
For Song Wen, these 20,000 spirit stones were really a windfall.
Although Zhou Siyi regarded human life as worthless, she had a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment.
She gave Song Wen 20,000 spirit stones, obviously because Song Wen always showed that he was short of money.
"Junior Brother Wu, let's go. The sect still has rewards!"
Zhou Siyi greeted Song Wen with great interest.
The two soon came to the main hall of Xuanzi Danfang, and at Zhou Siyi's instruction, they waited in the main hall.
Song Wen was quite puzzled and asked Zhou Siyi why she chose to wait in the main hall.
However, Zhou Siyi just smiled faintly and did not answer.
Song Wen sighed and had to wait with her.
About two quarters of an hour later, Wei Ding, Zuo Shuiyun and Huo Ding came to the main hall.
A moment later, a male cultivator who looked to be in his forties also walked in. This man had a deep and steady face and exuded a sense of majesty. He was the head of Danfeng, Fang Pengyi.
"Meet the head of the peak." Song Wen, Wei Ding and Zuo Shuiyun saluted with fists.
"Greetings, Master." Huo Ding bowed.
Fang Pengyi said, "In view of Zhou Siyi's contribution to the Great Yan Kingdom's Soul Feeding Shop, he is promoted to the position of the Elder of Danfeng, and is awarded 100,000 spiritual stones and a middle-grade spiritual alchemy furnace to show his merit."
"Mr. Wu has made great contributions to assisting Zhou Siyi, and is rewarded with 10,000 spiritual stones and a low-grade spiritual alchemy furnace."
After the words fell.
Zhou Siyi was naturally delighted.
Song Wen also pretended to be overjoyed.
Zuo Shuiyun and Huo Ding were surprised, looking at Song Wen and Zhou Siyi sideways.
After Song Wen and Zhou Siyi returned from the Great Yan Kingdom, they did not mention anything about what happened in the Great Yan Kingdom. Zuo Shuiyun and Huo Ding naturally knew nothing about the Great Yan Kingdom's Soul Feeding Shop.
Only Wei Ding had a bad premonition in his heart.
Zhou Siyi was promoted directly from honorary elder to serving elder, skipping the deacon elder. He must have made great contributions.
The task of the Great Yan Kingdom's Soul Feeding Shop should have been Wei Ding's, but he was unwilling to go and pushed the task to Zhou Siyi and Song Wen without authorization.
At this moment, Song Wen and Zhou Siyi were both rewarded, and his unauthorized transfer of tasks must have been exposed.
Sure enough, Fang Pengyi's eyes, as sharp as a knife, fell on Wei Ding.
Wei Ding suddenly felt like he was carrying a thousand-pound stone, heavy on his heart, and it was difficult to breathe.
Wei Ding trembled with fear, his expression was panic, "Peak Master, your subordinate..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Pengyi interrupted him.
"Wei Ding transferred the task without authorization, violated the sect rules, and the position of deacon elder was revoked and demoted to honorary elder. Wei Ding, do you accept the punishment?"
This punishment was neither severe nor light for Wei Ding.
Being demoted to an honorary elder, the biggest loss for Wei Ding is undoubtedly the spirit stones.
First, his monthly salary will be sharply reduced;
Secondly, as a deacon elder before, his daily task was to teach Song Wen and the other four alchemy. The task was easy, and he could also exploit Song Wen and others to make pills for him and earn spirit stones for him. Now that he has been demoted to an honorary elder, it is unlikely that he can exploit Song Wen and others again.
Wei Ding said, "Thank you, the peak master, for giving him a break."
Although Wei Ding was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it.
After dealing with Wei Ding, Fang Pengyi looked at his apprentice Huo Ding.
"In recent years, I have to go into seclusion and have no time to teach you personally. You should stay in the Xuanzi Alchemy Room and follow the elders in the alchemy room to learn the alchemy well."
"Yes, Master."
Fang Pengyi glanced at Song Wen and others, and finally looked at Zhou Siyi.
"Elder Zhou, although you are a worship elder, you know very little about alchemy. I will arrange for a deacon elder to teach you the art of alchemy."
"Thank you, Peak Master."
