Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 42 Rewards based on merit

In the next few days, everyone started to get busy, especially Zhao Cheng, who was like a spinning top, busy all the time.

Before moving to Tianque Mountain, they first needed to build a residence on the top of the mountain. This was a crucial task, but it was obviously impossible for Shen Yun to do it himself. After all, he had more important matters to deal with.

Liu Yingyue was not idle either. She was busy refining pills. She was so focused that she seemed to have forgotten everything around her.

As for Li Xiangyuan, he did have time, but Li Xiangyuan, who was currently at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, was Shen Yun's greatest safety guarantee. Naturally, he could not be assigned to do such trivial matters, so as not to distract his attention.

In this way, after many twists and turns, this arduous task could only be assigned to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng knew that he had a great responsibility, so he threw himself into the work without hesitation. He carefully planned every step, from material selection to construction, and did everything himself. His father had taught him one thing since he was a child, to serve his master and his son wholeheartedly, and he has been doing this to the letter over the years.

During the day, he led his servants to work hard on the top of the mountain under the scorching sun. At night, he continued to check for deficiencies and make up for the gaps under the faint moonlight. Sweat continued to drip from his forehead, soaking his clothes, but he had no intention of stopping.

He carefully selected every stone and every piece of wood to ensure that the home he built was both sturdy and comfortable.

Thanks to Zhao Cheng's unremitting efforts, in just five days, several magnificent palaces stood on the top of the mountain. Their scale was extraordinary, and they had a mysterious and solemn appearance of a hidden sect.

Everyone gathered together in the spacious hall, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

The one at the top was the imposing Shen Yun. He was tall and straight, with a resolute look, and looked majestic without even getting angry. Beside him, Li Xiangyuan and Liu Yingyue stood on his left and right sides, respectively, with calm faces and dignified postures.

Looking down, there are Zhao Cheng and the eight guards who have performed meritorious service that day. These eight guards are all agile and energetic. They are the men that Shen Yun can now fully trust.

Shen Yunduan sat in the hall, looking around with a serious expression, slowly sweeping his eyes over everyone, and then said calmly: "When you were in the Shen family in Liucheng, you worked hard for our Shen family, and now you are risking your lives for my safety. You treat me with sincerity, and I will not let you down."

His voice echoed in the hall, carrying a firm and sincere tone. Everyone bowed their heads and stood, listening quietly.

At this time, the captain of the guard Zhou Ming stepped forward and replied respectfully: "This matter is all my responsibility, and I dare not trouble the young master for a reward." His tone revealed his awe for Shen Yun.

Zhou Ming is a tall and straight man, about thirty years old, with the same cultivation level as Zhao Cheng. His strength at the sixth level of Qi training realm gives him great prestige among the guards.

Shen Yun looked at Zhou Ming, nodded slightly, and then said: "Zhou Ming."

"I'm here." Zhou Ming responded immediately in a loud voice.

"As far as I know, you have been stuck in the sixth level of Qi Refining Realm for some time, right? Have you ever thought about when you can break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm?" Shen Yun's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through Zhou Ming's heart.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment, then replied: "Reporting to the young master, I have been promoted to the sixth level of Qi training for two years. As for breaking through to the seventh level of Qi training, I am not very confident at the moment, and I estimate that it will take at least three to five years." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Next." Shen Yun said, and stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, and a porcelain bottle flew towards Zhou Ming. His movements were elegant and casual, as if it was just a trivial matter. "This is the Qi Gathering Pill. I believe you already know the function of this Qi Gathering Pill, so I won't elaborate on it."

Zhou Ming reached out and steadily caught the porcelain bottle containing the Qi Gathering Pill, feeling a burst of ecstasy in his heart. His face showed an uncontrollable excitement, and he quickly knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Thank you for the reward, young master. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Shen Yun looked at the honest man in front of him, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He pretended to be serious and said: "Get up, what, if I don't reward you, you can't go through fire and water for me?"

Zhou Ming's heart tightened and he quickly explained, "No, no, young master. I can give up my life for you at any time." A thin layer of sweat even appeared on his forehead, for fear that Shen Yun would misunderstand his loyalty.

Shen Yun laughed and said softly: "Haha, I'm just kidding you. Why do I want your life? Living well and practicing well are the best rewards for me. I will rely on you for many things in the future." A trace of trust and expectation flashed in his eyes.

The hall was silent as everyone felt Shen Yun's love and expectations for his subordinates. In the past, they risked their lives to protect Shen Yun just out of loyalty to Shen Batian, but now, this risking of their lives seemed to have something more.

At this time, the other six guards were staring at the porcelain bottle containing the Qi Gathering Pill in Zhou Ming's hand. Their eager looks showed their inner desire and envy to the fullest, without hiding anything. Their eyes were fixed on the porcelain bottle, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world. The envy in their eyes was as hot as a flame, as if it was going to melt the porcelain bottle.

The Qi Gathering Pill is a first-level elixir that has attracted much attention in the world of immortal cultivation. This elixir has extraordinary effects and is specially made to improve the cultivation of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.

Among them, the lower-grade Qi Condensation Pill is the lowest grade, but its value cannot be underestimated. It can enable a Qi Refining Realm cultivator of the first to third level to break through the first level unconditionally;

The middle-grade Qi-gathering Pill is even better, and has a significant effect on improving the cultivation of the fourth to sixth-level cultivators. It is like a powerful force, pushing the cultivators to move forward continuously.

The top-grade Qi Gathering Pills are even more precious and are effective for cultivators from the seventh to ninth levels. They can be regarded as a powerful assistant in their pursuit of higher realms.

In terms of price, the lower-grade Qi Gathering Pill is relatively cheap, and can be purchased with only ten lower-grade spirit stones. The value of the middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill is doubled, requiring one hundred lower-grade spirit stones. The upper-grade Qi Gathering Pill is more difficult to refine, and requires one thousand lower-grade spirit stones to purchase.

The medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill is strong and pure, and it can quickly gather spiritual energy and nourish the meridians and dantian of the cultivator. Its unique formula and refining process make it a treasure that many cultivators dream of.

Whether it is a novice who has just entered the door of cultivation or a cultivator who has achieved some success, they all flock to the Qi Gathering Pill. It is not only the key to breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation, but also the solid foundation for moving towards a higher realm.

Zhou Ming noticed the gazes of several people and quickly stuffed the porcelain bottle into his arms. Although they were all brothers, they could be courteous to each other when they met a girl they liked in the brothel, but this Qi Gathering Pill was not allowed. Don't even think about it.

After seeing Zhou Ming's actions, the guards did not dare to act recklessly due to the presence of Shen Yun and others. In fact, they had already silently called Zhou Ming a "bastard" in their hearts.
