Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 39 Generous Rewards

The awards are actually mainly given to the top three in the elite group and the top three in the youth group, because these awards are fixed.

For those like Zhou Chun and others who are ranked four to ten, they can choose different rewards according to their own wishes.

The rewards for the top three are indeed very coveted.

For example, Zhou Zhengkang of the Zhou family, who won first place in the youth group, was rewarded with a first-level high-grade magic weapon [Yinxia Shield], three bottles of [Yu Shen Dan] that can be used to refine magic power, and a second-level magic talisman.

Five hundred spirit coins.

If these rewards were calculated in terms of spiritual coins, they would add up to nearly 2,000. Ordinary foundation-building monks would be jealous after seeing this.

And the monk who wins the first place in the elite group will be rewarded with a [Foundation Building Pill] that can increase the success rate of foundation building by 30%!

"The five major families are really willing to spend money. They can even use precious things like the Foundation Establishment Pill as rewards for fighting skills. They are really generous!"

In the audience, a Foundation-Building monk who came to watch the ceremony sighed with emotion after seeing the award ceremony on the stage.

As soon as he said these words, some of the foundation-building monks who came to watch the ceremony immediately started talking.

"Isn't that right? That's a foundation-building pill. One pill is worth thousands of spiritual coins. Many times it's hard to buy it even if you have the money!"

"Hey, back then, I also wanted to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. Unfortunately, after more than ten years of cobbling together, I could only collect less than a thousand spiritual coins. In the end, I could only risk nine deaths and forcefully build the Foundation.

Fortunately, I was lucky and finally succeeded!"

"It is too unrealistic to buy Foundation Establishment Pills on your own. Without the support of the family sect, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage wants to earn thousands of spiritual coins. Even if he is a bandit cultivator, it is impossible to do it!"

"So I really envy the juniors of these five major families. They don't have to go out and fight monsters to the death, and they don't have to fight wits and courage with those bandit cultivators. They have the opportunity to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill through this kind of fighting method. How lucky they are!"

One by one, the foundation-building monks thought of their sad past before building the foundation. At this moment, they were all envious of the lucky person on the stage who had obtained the foundation-building pill.

Even though they can no longer use the Foundation Building Pill, it still does not prevent them from feeling envious of the monks who can possess this precious spiritual pill.

Of course, only they themselves know if they have any other thoughts besides envy.

At this time, after awarding the awards, the heads of the five major cultivating families thanked the monks who came to watch the ceremony, and then announced the end of the martial arts competition.

Then monks like Zhou Chun and others who had achieved the top ten results in their group were all called together individually to choose their own rewards from a list.

The list includes various items such as magic weapons, talismans, elixirs, monster eggs, etc. The value of each item ranges from about two hundred to four hundred spirit coins.

And Zhou Chun had already thought about what he should choose as a reward.

Therefore, he just scanned the list briefly and immediately preemptively selected two bottles of [Yade Shendan].

This [Yade Ginseng Pill] is a special product of the Wang family in Hongyao Valley. It is said to be made from the over 100-year-old Topaz Ginseng as the main medicine. It has mild properties and is easy to refine, and is more powerful than the Zhou family's [Chunyang Pill].

】Much stronger.

Generally speaking, the Wang family rarely sells this kind of elixir, and they are either exchanged by clan members or used to exchange for special products of other families and sects.

It was as if Zhou Chun also saw the Zhou family’s specialty [Beast Spirit Pill] on the list this time.

After all the rewards were selected, the monks from the Zhou family and four other immortal cultivating families all left the Red Medicine Valley with the monks from the Wang family seeing them off.

When leaving, Zhou Daoyi's azure cloud python undoubtedly gained face for the Zhou family again.

At that time, when they saw the Zhou family members ascending into the sky on pythons and flying away carefree, every monk from each family was dumbfounded, their eyes full of envy and yearning.

Although they had heard some Zhou family monks talk about this before, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't hide their shock and envy.

Only the monks in the foundation-building stage are well-informed and can maintain their grace without being too disgraceful.

After flying in the sky on the Azure Cloud Python for more than an hour, Zhou Chun and others had a smooth journey back to Zhou's home in Jiufeng Ridge.

"In this martial arts competition between the five major families, you all performed very well, and the results you achieved satisfy me and my family."

"Especially Zhengkang won the first place in the youth group, which greatly increased the popularity of my Zhou family. He deserves a big reward!"

"There are also four others, Jiacheng, Jiapeng, Zhengtao, and Zhengchun, who have all successfully ranked among the top ten in their group. They have won face for my Zhou family and deserve a generous reward!"

"As for the other tribesmen who were not selected, although they did not make it into the top ten, they still performed well and deserve credit for their hard work."

In Pagoda Peak, in the "Zhongping Hall", the patriarch Zhou Daoyi looked at the twenty monks of the Zhou family in the Qi Refining Stage in the hall, and with a face full of relief and joy, he delivered a concluding speech for the martial arts competition.

After hearing his words, most of the Zhou family monks in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Those monks who did not make it into the top ten were still worried, fearing that they would be reprimanded by their clan leader.

But I didn't expect that what was waiting for me was praise.

This was the exact opposite of what they were worried about, and they were immediately pleasantly surprised, and the disappointment and frustration caused by losing the selection immediately dissipated.

At this time, the clan leader Zhou Daoyi looked at the clan members and pondered for a moment before announcing the rewards to everyone in a deep voice.

"I have the trust of the Supreme Elder and all the clan members. As the head of the Zhou family, I have always adhered to the principle of rewards and punishments for clan members' merits and demerits."

"This time Zhengkang won the first place in the youth group. He has made great contributions. Just promoting him to a core clan member is no longer enough to reward his merits. Therefore, I will discuss with other elders and report to the Supreme Elder to use him as the foundation of the family.

By cultivating the seeds, you will have priority in taking Foundation Establishment Pills and other Foundation Establishment spiritual items in the future!"

"Jia Cheng and Jiapeng have made great contributions to the family in the past. This time they have made great contributions to the family's reputation. After their hard work, they will be promoted to core clan members."

"Zhengtao and Zhengchun, although they are young, they must be rewarded for bringing fame and honor to the family, so they will first give each of them an opportunity to choose a secret technique to practice. If they can make further contributions in the future, they can be promoted to the core clan members!

"

"The rest of the people will also be rewarded with relevant amounts of family merit based on their performance!"

Wow!!!

As soon as Zhou Daoyi finished speaking about the rewards within the clan, the faces of the Zhou family monks in the hall suddenly became extremely exciting.

The five people who received special rewards from the clan, including Zhou Zhengkang, were naturally very happy and very satisfied with the rewards within the clan.

But at the same time they were happy, Zhou Zhengtao and Zhou Chun, who were not directly promoted to core clan members, couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Zhou Jiacheng and Zhou Jiapeng, who were directly promoted to core clan members, should have been very happy and satisfied.

But when they thought about the rewards from Zhou Zhengkang, a descendant of the family, a lot of the joy in their hearts was cut away.

As for those monks who failed to make it into the top ten of their group, they were looking at the five of them with envy at this moment, especially Zhou Zhengkang, who felt extremely complicated.

Zhou Daoyi saw all this, and he even knew what the Zhou family monks were thinking at this moment.

But now that he has made this decision, he won't care what other tribesmen think.

Resources are limited and it is impossible to take care of everyone.

If you really envy the resources that others get, then you should also make contributions to your family and strive for them!

So he quickly waved his hand and said: "Okay, as for the rewards within the clan, we have decided this for now. You are tired these days, so go back and have a good rest!"

"Yes, I will take my leave, junior."

Regardless of what they were feeling at the moment, all the Zhou family monks quickly responded in unison, and then exited the "Zhongping Hall" and left Pagoda Peak.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Zhengyong both lived in Baozhifeng, so naturally they went back together on the same road.

The two of them had their own concerns along the way and did not communicate with each other until they arrived outside Zhou Chun's residence.

Zhou Zhengyong said with a complex expression: "I didn't expect that the clan leader would designate Seventh Brother as the foundation-building seed to cultivate. After this matter spreads, I'm afraid the elders of the family will be in a state of excitement!"

Zhou Chun naturally understood what he meant.

There are quite a few elders of the "family" generation in the Zhou family who are at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and there are also some who are at the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.

These people who can immediately build the foundation, and who are several decades older than Zhou Zhengkang, have not been able to become the family's foundation-building seeds and receive preferential cultivation with family resources.

Now that Zhou Zhengkang, a junior at the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage, has obtained this honor, how could this make those people easily convinced?

After all, the Zhou family is a cultivating family connected by blood. Many of the elders are closely related to the clan leader and elders, and they are even close blood descendants of certain elders.

Once they get into trouble, there will probably be a turmoil within the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Chun didn't want to discuss this matter too much. Anyway, whoever becomes the family's foundation seed will not be his turn, so why bother himself.

At that moment, he shook his head and said softly: "Let's not get involved in the elders' affairs. Since the patriarch has decided to do this, he naturally has his own considerations."

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhengyong also had a look on his face, nodded thoughtfully and said: "That's right, with the patriarch's wisdom, I can think of things, how could he not think of it? It's inevitable.

We already have a perfect plan!"

After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Zhou Chun and said, "Then I won't disturb my thirteenth brother and you can rest. Brother, please go back and have a good sleep first."

"Brother Yong, walk slowly."

Zhou Chun responded, and after watching Zhou Zhengyong go away, he also walked into the courtyard.
