Chapter 105 Rewarding According to Merit
On a high mountain thousands of miles away from Chifeng Mountain, an angry howl suddenly sounded in the dark cave on the top of the mountain. The sound was like thunder and resounded in the nearby mountains and rivers. When many monsters within a dozen miles of the mountain heard the sound, they all showed fear and were all frightened to the ground, not daring to get up for a long time.
After killing the white lion, Qian Guangyao turned around Chifeng Mountain for half a circle and soon found some of the Qian family monks he brought with him.
Most of the monsters on the mountain had been killed by the monks at this time. The remaining monsters that were still resisting were soon killed by the monks who attacked the mountain under the command of Qian Guangyao, the foundation-building monk.
In this battle, the Qinghe County monks led by the Huang family won a great victory, killing a second-level middle-grade white lion and more than a hundred first-level monsters. The value of these monster materials alone was close to tens of thousands of spirit stones.
After the war, Qian Guangyao led the Qian family monks to search on Chifeng Mountain and found dozens of mature spiritual medicines on the mountain, two of which had reached the second-level quality.
In order to delay the white lion in the previous battle, Qian Guangyao also used up a lot of spiritual objects. The Qian family suffered a lot of losses when they came to Chifeng Mountain this time. Soon after the war started, they encountered the main force of the monsters on the mountain, lost several monks, and even the clan leader Qian Guangyao was injured.
The most valuable thing on Chifeng Mountain is this second-level spiritual vein, but it’s a pity that this place is too close to Yunwu Mountain. Even if the Qinghe County monks have killed all the monsters on the mountain, it is difficult to defend this spiritual vein for a long time.
The reproduction speed of monsters is much faster than that of human monks. In the Yunwu Mountain area alone, there are thousands of monsters. It won’t take long before other monsters will come here. If you want to occupy this place for a long time, you must be able to prepare to face the attacks of many monsters at any time.
Including the Song family, many monks in charge of surrounding the mountain had received instructions from the Huang family before the war that they could not go up the mountain at will without their permission, so as to prevent someone from sneaking up the mountain to rob spiritual objects.
It took only a few hours from the time they began to surround the mountain to the time the Huang family announced the end of the battle. After completing their respective tasks, the monks from various families gathered together and began to wait for the next instructions from the Huang family.
When the Huang family monks came down from the mountain, everyone gathered together and began to leave this place and return to Wufeng Mountain. Next, the Huang family will also provide relief to the monks who were injured and killed and reward the meritorious officials of this battle.
This is also a necessary process for each call for monks. Although the following Qi Refining families are tools of the Huang family and can be called up and used at any time, if they work for you and you do not give them the relief and rewards they should have afterwards, then these people will inevitably have second thoughts and turn to join others. The Huang family has dominated Qinghe County for a thousand years, and this is naturally clear.
On Chifeng Ridge, after all the other cultivators left, to everyone's surprise, Qian Guangyao led the Qian family cultivators to stay on the mountain and began to explore the ground veins and set up formations on this second-level spiritual vein.
The Qian family did not have a second-level spiritual vein. The reason why Qian Guangyao readily accepted the Huang family's invitation and came to besiege Chifeng Ridge this time was actually because he had his eyes on this second-level spiritual vein.
Qian Guangyao had broken through the foundation for more than ten years. When he was first responsible for guarding Qinghefang, the second-level spiritual vein of Qinghefang could still support his daily practice. After the five-year rotation period, he had no choice but to give up the position of guarding Qinghefang and returned to the Qian family.
In the past few years, he relied on the family's heritage and used spiritual stones to subsidize his practice so that he did not fall behind in practice speed. However, this is not a long-term solution. The Qian family does not have many spiritual stones in stock. If this continues, it will be used up sooner or later.
Qian Guangyao could only start looking for other ways out. After receiving the invitation from the Huang family, Qian Guangyao agreed after some consideration. However, he also agreed with the Huang family that after conquering Chifeng Mountain, the spiritual veins and spiritual objects on the mountain would be handed over to the Qian family.
The Huang family's original purpose was to hunt the white lion, and they had no interest in the spiritual vein of Chifeng Mountain. The Huang family did not raise any opinions and agreed to this matter very readily.
"Qian Guangyao, this kid, is really a little crazy because of poverty. He dared to take the spiritual vein of Chifeng Mountain. He is not afraid of putting the whole Qian family in it." Looking at the Qian family cultivators who were setting up the formation in the distance, Huang Chengliang said to Huang Shengxin with some disdain.
Huang Shengxin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The Qian family does not have a deep foundation, so he has to take this risk. In the past 30 years in Qinghe County, he is the only one who can successfully build a foundation. He is also a person with excellent character and aptitude. Don't underestimate him."
Just after returning to Wufeng Mountain for less than half a day, Song Gushan received a notice to go and receive the reward for this mission. While everyone was still on the way back, the Huang family had already arranged for people to count the merits of each cultivator in this battle.
Huang Shengxin, the foundation-building clan leader, did not care about this matter. After returning to Wufeng Mountain, Huang Shengxin took the spiritual objects on the white lion and left here, and directly entrusted the task of providing relief and rewarding each cultivator to Huang Chengliang.
The best performing cultivator came from the Ma family. This person had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining. In this battle, he killed three high-level monsters alone, and his merits far exceeded those of other cultivators.
The Huang family was not stingy about this and directly rewarded him with a good top-grade magic weapon, which made him very happy. The second and third cultivators were rewarded with a middle-grade magic weapon respectively.
The Ma family won the first prize, which also attracted the envy of cultivators from other families. This Ma family cultivator was less than fifty years old and could be considered a rising star. Among the thousands of Qi-refining cultivators in Qinghe County, there were not many who had the hope of building a foundation. This person could be considered one of them. It is possible that in a short time, Qinghe County will have another foundation-building family.
In comparison, the Song family cultivators performed mediocrely. They went there just to watch the fun. Together, they only received a few spiritual subsidies of top-grade spiritual talismans, and they were not surprised by this.
Before the war, Song Qingming spent a long time setting up the Tengmu Rejuvenation Formation. He originally wanted to use the power of this formation to do a big job, but he didn't expect that their luck was mediocre and they didn't get many opportunities to perform.
But in general, they were lucky. Although they consumed some spiritual objects, they finally did not suffer any casualties, which made them very relieved.
The cultivators of the family with the worst luck were besieged by a large number of monsters at the beginning. There were seven cultivators, and three died and two were injured in the battle. Only two people were not injured and safe. Although the Huang family also issued a lot of compensation, half of the cultivators died in the battle, which still made their faces full of gloom.
After receiving the reward, Song Gushan informed the Huang family cultivators and led the Song family to leave Wufeng Mountain the next day.
