Chapter 393: [392] Huge Rewards, Achieving Freedom for the Source Profound Crystal

Yumiao Realm.

Dongli War Zone.

Ninghai Fortress.

Inside the operational hall of the Warhawk Legion.

Lan Jiayao, a female Profoundist, sat blankly on a comfortable chair, staring at a document on the table with unfocused eyes, her mind filled with shock.

Just a moment ago.

This expeditionary Warhawk Legion received a briefing sent by the Qinghan Profound Palace.

And the content of the briefing truly shocked Lan Jiayao.

Before Commander Cheng returned to the Profound Palace, he clearly stated that it was just an important experiment, but how did he manage to experiment and produce a Vice Palace Master and a Broad Primordial Spirit user?

Previously, the other party was the commander-in-chief of the legion, and she was the vice commander, nominally considered a subordinate.

Now, Commander Cheng has become Vice Palace Master Cheng, overseeing several institutions including the Tianrong Hall, making him a genuine superior.

What's even more unbelievable is that Commander Cheng single-handedly reversed the strategy formulated by the Divine Grade powerhouses!

Rumors have already spread among the high-level officials of the war zone that reinforcements from the other three small worlds will soon enter the Yumiao Realm in large numbers to occupy this realm as soon as possible.

Even Lan Jiayao, who always pays attention to etiquette, couldn't help but have the urge to curse.

This f*cking guy is too good at playing, right?!

Beside her.

The Profoundists were all discussing with amazed expressions.

"A Profoundist can actually serve as the Vice Palace Master of the Profound Palace and oversee the Broad Primordial Spirit City of our Profound Palace. Has there ever been such a precedent?"

"Let alone the Broad Primordial Spirit City, I'm afraid there is no precedent in other divine cities either!"

"The Qinghan Profound Palace has been upgraded to a High-grade Profound Palace, and under the divine city, there are ninety-six Profound Palaces, including our Profound Palace, there are only seven High-grade Profound Palaces."

"The Taian Pavilion was directly abolished and the Taian Branch Palace was officially established. Previously, Taian had established several branch halls, which everyone jokingly called small Profound Palaces. This time, there really is a small Profound Palace."

"The so-called 'small Profound Palace' is nothing more than the territory decided by Commander Cheng with a single word. As Profoundists, to have such power is truly enviable!"

"Vice Palace Master Kou Zhizhong was relieved of his duties and returned to the divine city for another appointment. Several Profoundist adults have had their positions adjusted. Quite a lot has happened in the Profound Palace recently."

"Tsk tsk, we missed out on an exciting show by following the Warhawk Legion to the Yumiao Realm!"

Those with a little bit of acuity can smell the scent of internal power struggles from the incident of "Vice Palace Master being relieved of his duties."

From the results, Commander Cheng clearly emerged victorious, while Kou Xuandu suffered a big defeat and left in a dejected manner.

Soon.

The topic shifted towards gossip.

"Oh right! How many Source Profound Crystals can the Vice Palace Master receive each year?"

"Low-level, mid-level, and high-level Profoundist receive 400, 600, and 800 Source Profound Crystals respectively. The Vice Palace Master and the Palace Master receive an additional 300 and 150. Commander Cheng is only a mid-level Profoundist, so it's hard to calculate."

"The rank of the Primordial Spirit envoy is equivalent to the main palace lord of the Profound Palace. The Cloud Palace lord is a mid-level Profound Supervisor, with an annual salary of at least nine hundred pieces of Source Profound Crystal. The Chief Commander Cheng should receive no less than this amount."

"Have you forgotten that our Profound Palace has become a higher-level Profound Palace? The palace lord's position comes with an additional annual salary of at least six hundred pieces of Source Profound Crystal."

"That's right! Chief Commander Cheng can receive at least twelve hundred pieces of Source Profound Crystal per year!"

Listening to the discussions, Lan Jiayao's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of envy.

She was a mid-level Profound Master and also the main hall master of the Tianrong Hall, with an annual salary of sixty pieces of Source Profound Crystal. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced.

In addition...

As a female Profound Master, she could be certain that Chief Commander Cheng's achievements were far greater than just receiving a salary equivalent to a main palace lord.

The Fire Eagle had already alarmed His Highness the Divine Lord. How could the reward be only equivalent to that of a main palace lord?

A Profound Scholar suddenly sighed, "I am also a mid-level Profound Scholar and hold a position as an attendant. I can only receive nine pieces of Source Profound Crystal per year. Chief Commander Cheng's salary for one year is equivalent to a hundred years of mine."

This statement immediately caused a low chuckle.

"Lao Gao, how can you compare yourself to Chief Commander Cheng?"

"Chief Commander Cheng created the Fire Eagle, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Wan Hao Clan. Even if you were given a thousand years, you might not be able to achieve the same. I think Chief Commander Cheng should receive ten thousand pieces of Source Profound Crystal."

"Forget ten thousand, even if Chief Commander Cheng receives a hundred thousand pieces, it wouldn't be too much."

Seeing these people getting more and more outrageous, Lan Jiayao couldn't bear to listen any longer and deliberately coughed lightly.

The discussions in the hall immediately disappeared.

After a moment of contemplation, the female Profound Master ordered, "Prepare the communication Profound Array. I want to congratulate Vice Palace Lord Cheng and report on the recent situation of the Warhawk Legion."

As her superior was becoming more and more successful, even the Divine Lord regarded him highly. She felt it necessary to be more proactive.

"Yes!"

*

Soon after,

In a small palace,

A special Profound Array was activated.

The inscriptions on this Profound Array were several times more than those on an ordinary communication Profound Array, and there were also many beautiful patterns resembling spirit leaves carved around it.

"Buzz~"

The vibration was also higher than that of a regular Profound Array.

In an instant,

Numerous faint green light spots suddenly gushed out from the center of the Profound Array, quickly condensing into the shape of a token.

It was the Rongjie Communication Token.

To conduct cross-border communication, one must rely on this magical Profound Artifact.

Of course,

This doesn't mean that the Rongjie Communication Token is here.

But it's this mysterious formation that spans across distant time and space, successfully connecting to the Rongjie Communication Token in Commander Cheng's hand.

After a breath.

"Poof!"

Only a light sound was heard.

The token illusion exploded into countless green dots of light, dancing in the sky for a while, then transforming into a somewhat blurry image.

Lan Jiayao was about to greet with "Greetings, Vice Palace Master Cheng," but suddenly swallowed her words.

In the image, a figure, although not clear, was clearly a beautiful woman with delicate features.

What was most astonishing was the large desk beside the woman, piled with a table full of Yuanxuan Crystals.

Just a rough estimate, there were probably no less than ten thousand pieces!

Not one thousand!

But ten thousand!

As a female Yuanxuan Master who had lived for hundreds of years, she had never seen so many sparkling Yuanxuan Crystals in her life, feeling dizzy and dazzled.

Although she had already guessed that Commander Cheng's reward would definitely not be small.

But witnessing it with her own eyes at this moment still gave her a strong shock.

In the image, the beautiful woman held several pieces of Yuanxuan Crystals in each hand, with an exquisite metal box beside her, seemingly counting the quantity.

At this moment.

Both sides looked at each other, with a bewildered expression on their faces.

Lan Jiayao regained her senses and tentatively asked, "May I ask if you are Miss Qian Qingqing?"

The woman in the image bowed and quickly introduced herself, "I am not Miss Qingqing, I am Cheng Vice Palace Master's personal secretary, Xie You.

"When Vice Palace Master Cheng was appointed as the Grand Minister, he appointed me as the Minister's secretary. Later, when Your Excellency went to the Xuan Palace, he sent me to the Taian Xuan Pavilion.

"Now that the Taian Xuan Pavilion has been merged into the Taian Small Xuan Palace, Vice Palace Master Cheng has transferred me to the Small Xuan Palace, still serving Your Excellency."

For some reason.

Lan Jiayao looked at this tempting figure and heard the word "serve," couldn't help but "hmph" in her heart.

Could it be that she serves during the day and continues to serve at night?

But the female Yuanxuan Master was not surprised.

After all, in the Xuan Palace, which male Yuanxuan Master's residence didn't have a bunch of beautiful women? Less than a dozen was considered few!

Xie You respectfully asked again, "May I ask if you are Vice Commander Lan of the Warhawk Legion?"

Lan Jiayao nodded gracefully and said, "Indeed!"

Xie You quickly said, "Vice Commander, are you planning to contact the Vice Palace Master? The Vice Palace Master just went to the factory, I will immediately inform the Vice Palace Master."

She bowed respectfully again and quickly walked out of the field of vision.

Lan Jiayao shook her head slightly and muttered softly, "Damn it! Could it be that Commander Cheng is not here, why can the cross-domain communication be connected?"

The female Primordial Spirit cultivator had an incredible guess pop into her mind: "Could Commander Cheng have made certain modifications to the Primordial Formation?"

If it were anyone else, even a Primordial Spirit cultivator, it would be difficult to modify such a complex inter-realm communication Primordial Formation.

But Commander Cheng's abilities were so astonishing, so it was highly possible!

Moreover, this was very much in line with his style of doing things.

Regardless of whether there was a reason or not, he always had to tinker with things.

Soon enough...

Xie You appeared once again and respectfully said, "Vice Commander, please wait a moment. The Vice Palace Master has already sensed that the Primordial Formation communication has been activated and is on the way back."

Lan Jiayao thought to herself, "As expected."

Commander Cheng indeed made some changes to the Primordial Formation, allowing it to activate spontaneously.

Then...

An awkward silence fell between the two.

The female Primordial Spirit cultivator's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the pile of Source Primordial Crystals on the table, once again admiring this rare sight.

Xie You keenly noticed this scene and timely said, "These are Source Primordial Crystals personally sent by the Hall Master of the Heavenly Fortune Hall to the Vice Palace Master. They include a portion of the Vice Palace Master's annual salary, as well as a reward bestowed by the Divine City specifically for the Liefire Eagle."

Lan Jiayao couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "How many Source Primordial Crystals are there in total?"

Xie You looked troubled.

Without the Vice Palace Master's permission, how could she dare to disclose the detailed amount?

Just then...

A green potted plant in the scene suddenly rubbed its blue-purple leaves and emitted a voice similar to that of a human.

"Thanks to the favor of General Lan Yun, a total of 16,000 pieces have been bestowed!"

The female Primordial Spirit cultivator was initially startled, then felt her mind go "buzz."

Heavens!

So many?!

The potted plant rubbed again and spoke, "Apologies, Vice Commander Lan, communicating in this manner is not polite. I will be back in two minutes."

Lan Jiayao had already guessed that the potted plant was being remotely controlled, but she shook her head and said, "It's alright."

In fact...

The female Primordial Spirit cultivator's guess was completely correct. The salary given by the Broad Primordial Spirit Division was indeed not just 1,200 pieces of Source Primordial Crystals, but a staggering 2,000 pieces.

The achievement of creating the Liefire Eagle brought an additional 14,000 pieces of Source Primordial Crystals.

This sum could be considered a "huge amount," and even the main Palace Masters of the Primordial Palace would need over a hundred years to accumulate it.

In conclusion...

From now on, Cheng Han truly achieved the freedom of Source Primordial Crystals.
