Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 161 The Sect's Reward

"This disciple...is willing."

Upon hearing Mo Changqing's words, Zhang Yan replied without hesitation.

joke.

Raising fourth-tier spirit beasts is a good job.

"Hmm, not bad. But let me tell you, these fourth-tier spirit beast eggs should belong to the Qingheng Sect. Since you contributed fourth-tier spirit beast eggs, the sect will compensate you." Mo Changqing looked at Zhang Yan and smiled as he spoke.

He spoke in a very serious tone.

Zhang Yan immediately understood the meaning behind the other party's words.

The three of them had indeed presented these fourth-tier spirit beast eggs to the sect, but the sect still needed someone to cultivate them.

For the Qingheng Sect, the best option is of course to cultivate the Azure Phoenix.

But Qingluan was unwilling, finding it troublesome.

Then this matter will naturally be passed down to the next level, and the remaining options are Golden Core cultivators, or cultivators with greater potential.

Although those in the Golden Core stage also held an advantage.

But don't forget, Zhang Yan inherited the legacy of the Thousand Fiends Daoist, and already understands the art of animal husbandry. Furthermore, Zhang Yan's potential is undeniable.

And there is...

Grandmaster Qingluan also took good care of Zhang Yan.

So this task fell to Zhang Yan.

But note this.

This is a job.

The sect simply placed the responsibility of raising the animals on Zhang Yan.

Therefore, it is only natural that the sect should also pay him a 'salary' and provide him with resources to cultivate fourth-order spirit beasts. Otherwise, how could Zhang Yan, who is just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, cultivate fourth-order spirit beasts?
All the sect wanted was ownership of the spirit beast.

Zhang Yan didn't care about this.

Ownership belongs to you.

All I need is the right to use it...

This is like a bank in the past. In name, the bank does not have ownership of the funds in the bank, but only the right to use them. But does this affect the bank?

not at all!
Now the sect has given him the right to use the spirit beast, provided him with resources to raise it, and even given him a special benefit.

Family members, who knows!
What kind of divine sect is this?
In addition to these, the sect also needs to give the three of them some rewards.

It can be said that although they gave up ownership of the fourth-tier spirit beast, they gained much more; in fact, for Zhang Yan, the reward was threefold.

Not only did they receive a reward to be handed over to the sect, but they also received a salary and even the right to use a future fourth-tier spirit beast.

This……

It smells so good!

How could anyone disagree with something like this?

"Okay, it's good that you're willing." Seeing Zhang Yan agree, Mo Changqing nodded gently, a hint of envy unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

That's a fourth-tier spirit beast egg; even he would want it.

Unfortunately, he knew that he couldn't take it, and no one else could either; only Zhang Yan was qualified to take it.

otherwise……

They definitely won't get away with it.

"Since you've agreed, this fourth-tier spirit beast egg is now yours. You must raise it well, or the sect won't forgive you."

As Mo Changqing spoke, he handed the wooden box to Zhang Yan, his eyes filled with envy.

"Thank you, Master!"

As Zhang Yan spoke, he reached out and took the wooden box, but for some reason, he couldn't lift it the first time.

With a second burst of strength, he finally managed to collect the fourth-tier spirit beast egg into his pocket.

"Alright, alright, you can go now. Your rewards will be distributed later, but this time your reward won't be much; the main rewards will go to Wanbao and the others." Mo Changqing watched Zhang Yan pack up his things, suddenly feeling a bit bored, and waved for him to leave.

"Yes, Master!"

Having obtained the good stuff, Zhang Yan naturally wouldn't stay here to continue being an eyesore. Instead, he left with a smile, leaving the remaining space to the sect leader and his master.

……

Returned to his room.

Zhang Yan eagerly opened the wooden box, and inside was indeed a bluish-purple egg.

Needless to say, this is naturally the egg of the Wind and Thunder Dragon.

"First and foremost, one must acknowledge God."

As Zhang Yan spoke, he bit his fingertip, then drew an inscription on the spirit beast egg, and finally reached out and drew a wisp of divine soul from between his eyebrows and imprinted it into the egg.

After completing the task, Zhang Yan immediately sensed a faint life force from the Wind and Thunder Dragon Egg. It seemed that after being sealed for so long...

The Wind and Thunder Dragon Egg was affected to some extent.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as he's still alive, Zhang Yan has a way.

He quickly found some spiritual liquid and poured it into a jade basin. In addition to the spiritual liquid, he also ground many precious spiritual plants and medicinal herbs into powder and added them to the basin.

Instantly, the originally snow-white spiritual liquid turned emerald green.

These are all items that can increase vitality and replenish the life force of this Wind and Thunder Flood Dragon egg. In addition to these, Zhang Yan also directly obtained some Wind and Thunder Spiritual Objects from the sect to enhance the egg's foundation. After all, nominally, this is a spirit beast of the sect.

Naturally, it needs the resources of the sect to nourish it...

Watching the emerald green liquid slowly turn white, Zhang Yan knew that the Wind and Thunder Dragon egg was fine and should be able to hatch successfully.

I just don't know how long it will take.

All we can say is that we should do our best and leave the rest to fate.

With the reward now in effect, Zhang Yan and the others did not go on any more missions.

Even the Qingheng Sect's campaign against the Tianmu Mountains slowed down again, and the entire sect seemed to be just going through the motions.

What he found most unbelievable was that the land reclamation was not yet over, but the spoils had already been divided.

Yes.

Dividing the spoils.

The Qingheng Sect came to attack these three places mainly for the spiritual veins, but not the third-tier spiritual veins that others imagined.

It was a fourth-order spiritual vein from the previous training base for true disciples.

Although the Qingheng Sect is working slowly, and it even seems that they are being held back because they are simultaneously cultivating three different areas, only Zhang Yan and others know this.

The Qingheng Sect has achieved its goal; they have cleared the area around the fourth-order spiritual vein and are now planning to rebuild the mountain gate.

When the time comes, the new mountain range of the Qingheng Sect will be built on this fourth-order spiritual vein.

However, in order to prevent the information from being leaked, the Qingheng Sect needs to recast some formations on the fourth-order spiritual vein in advance to conceal the aura of the spiritual vein.

Of course, in addition to concealing one's aura, one must also gather spiritual energy and then distribute it uniformly. However, doing so does not mean that the other third-tier spiritual veins are no longer needed.

In reality, any spiritual vein of the second rank or higher nominally belongs to the Qingheng Sect.

The Qingheng Sect only looks down on first-tier spiritual veins and will not accept them.

Second-tier and third-tier spiritual veins are both considered strategic resources.

They all nominally belong to the Qingheng faction.

However, since those powerful families also contributed during the land reclamation process, the Qingheng Sect would also allocate some second-tier spiritual veins to them.

However, the number allocated was small, and most of them were located in remote areas.

Even so, for those families, this was an immense blessing.

After all, only by possessing a second-tier spiritual vein can one support a large family and produce a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Otherwise, even if you successfully establish your foundation, without sufficient spiritual energy to sustain your foundation-building cultivation, you won't be able to maintain your foundation-building level.

Of course, if your family is rich and can afford to eat miracle cures, then pretend I never said that.

But then again, if they were that rich, who would risk their lives here with the Qingheng Sect?
……

Now, although those three spiritual veins have not yet been cultivated, these second-tier spiritual veins have already begun to be distributed and rewards are given according to their merits.

However, none of this had anything to do with Zhang Yan.

Because he took on a job.

It was a relatively easy job, which involved managing the fourth-tier spiritual veins.

The Qingheng Sect is rebuilding its mountain gate, and it needs someone to oversee it. Sending Golden Core cultivators would be too much, while ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be able to keep others in check.

Therefore, Zhang Yan, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage but has the status of a direct disciple, is the perfect candidate.

Moreover, although Zhang Yancai is a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, the upper echelons of the Qingheng Sect also knew that he possessed a strand of hair from his grandmaster Qingluan, as well as talismans given by Lei Kunhai, making it easy for him to deal with ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It could even be described as a dimensional reduction attack.

Zhang Yan received the assignment without hesitation, accepted the imperial decree, and went to build the new mountain gate.

The way cultivators build their mountain gates is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary people need to build them bit by bit by hand, but cultivators don't need to do that.

He brought over several hundred people.

Among them were cultivators who had specialized in magic. With each spell they cast, walls immediately appeared on the ground.

It's better than any kind of concrete.

This left Zhang Yan somewhat dumbfounded. Could cultivating immortality be done like this?
However, he also knew that although it looked good, these were actually spells that these cultivators practiced specifically to earn resources for their own cultivation.

Whether it's worthwhile to spend so much effort cultivating this kind of magic just to earn resources is not for others to decide; only they themselves know.

Besides those building the walls, some people cast spells on themselves, instantly becoming incredibly strong, with just two people able to lift a log hundreds of feet long.

Others were responsible for carving and painting on these logs.

Watching the self-absorbed crowd, Zhang Yan remained silent, only able to say that cultivating immortality liberates productivity...

Because it was built by cultivators, the construction of the mountain gate was very rapid, taking only a few months to take shape.

However, this is just the beginning.

The later parts are more difficult and require some rare materials.

You can't have your entire sect built entirely with materials from the mortal world, can you?

Putting aside whether it's impressive or not, the most important thing is that it's not sturdy!

For example, the arrangement of formations.

Places like the alchemy room, the cave dwelling, and the weapon-forging room are of utmost importance, and he needs to give them careful advice.
