Chapter 498: [497] The Uncanny Prophet of Cheng Xunchaishi

After this great victory,

The rewards issued by the Dongli Theater Command can be described as "sunshine illuminating all".

Almost everyone has a share!

In the central hall,

A tall and thin mysterious scholar in a black robe with silver patterns walked in with big strides.

Behind him,

Two mysterious scholars pushed a small cart together, on which were placed two thick and heavy large metal boxes, indicating their considerable weight.

This scene

Immediately caused a noticeable commotion in the hall.

On the surface of the two large metal boxes, relief techniques were used to carve many spirit leaf patterns, forming concentric circles.

This is none other than the special container for preserving the Source Xuanjing.

Its material is a very rare metal that can effectively prevent the leakage of extraordinary power from the Source Xuanjing.

Every time the theater command issues Source Xuanjing, this thing will be dragged out of the secret storage.

Faced with this scene,

Everyone could see that the rewards for winning the battle had been distributed.

A low murmur arose from the crowd.

"The rewards came so quickly this time!"

"Yeah! Last time we won a battle, it took two days to arrive, but this time it came at night."

"Hehe! Have you forgotten that a certain God Executor, who is very fond of a certain deputy commander in our theater, is in charge?"

The mysterious scholars were not fools, and this speculation immediately made many people realize.

"You're right! It seems that we have benefited from Deputy Commander Cheng's favor!"

"The great battle just ended two hours ago, and the God's Decree has been sent to the theater. It seems that the God General under the command of Cheng Xunchaishi took care of the Dongli Theater as a favor to him."

At this moment,

The tall and thin mysterious scholar stopped and gently raised his hand.

The two mysterious scholars behind him each reached out and tapped the metal boxes.

"Snap! Snap!"

The metal boxes opened automatically.

Two large boxes full of Source Xuanjing instantly caught everyone's attention.

Due to the large quantity of Source Xuanjing, a strange resonance occurred between them.

This caused the profound power contained in the Source Xuanjing to spontaneously condense into many tiny dots of light, swirling around the Source Xuanjing before dissipating and disappearing.

The mysterious scholars witnessed this scene and their breathing became rapid.

Among the crowd.

The Xuan Shi named Gu Jian, who was previously ordered to deliver the Divine Decree to the Ling Yan Lotus Island, also had both of his eyes shining.

There is not a single normal Xuan Shi who lacks a source Xuan crystal.

Of course.

A certain newly appointed patrol inspector is not included in this.

In the entire Eastern Li war zone, from the soldiers of various legions to the commanders of the command zone, no one has regarded him as a Xuan Shi for a long time.

At this moment.

The tall and thin Xuan Shi looked around and quickly said, "This war zone was able to win this great battle and deliver a devastating defeat to the Black Scale Tribe. All of you have made great contributions."

This person is obviously very good at speaking in a flattering manner, and everyone laughed and smiled at his words.

The tall and thin Xuan Shi didn't say much, but waved his hand and pointed to a metal box, saying, "Rewards for meritorious service! I have been ordered by the commander to distribute the rewards now."

He turned to a Xuan Shi next to the cart and instructed, "Xi Jun, you come and read the list."

The Xuan Shi called "Xi Jun" immediately took out a small booklet and read aloud, "Sun Heng, for his meritorious service in joining the Xuan Zhou troops in battle, he is rewarded with three source Xuan crystals."

Another Xuan Shi patted the metal box and said, "Sun Xuan Shi, please come forward to receive the source Xuan crystals."

The atmosphere in the hall became even more heated.

The suppressed discussions started again.

"The rewards this time are really generous!"

"Tsk tsk! Just by participating in the battle, you can get three source Xuan crystals. The higher-ups are really generous."

Everyone present understood that the key to winning this battle, apart from Vice Commander Cheng controlling the overall situation, mainly relied on the various Warhawk legions.

Although the Xuan Zhou troops killed many powerful sea monsters, it was only a bonus. Even if they didn't participate in the battle, it wouldn't change the outcome.

Even so, just by chasing down the remaining enemies on the battlefield, they could receive three source Xuan crystals. This was definitely a generous reward.

Sun Heng walked forward with a smile on his face, received the three source Xuan crystals, and quickly returned to the crowd, muttering softly, "Thank you, Inspector Cheng!"

This sentence.

Made many people smile knowingly.

Even a fool could understand that the rewards this time were unexpectedly generous. It was definitely because of Inspector Cheng that they were given some extra rewards.

Gratitude is only natural when one remembers their roots.

Before long.

The two large metal boxes were emptied.

Gu Jian held four source Xuan crystals in his hands, and his heart couldn't help but become restless.

This guy had recently sensed that the Soul Tempering Seal in his spiritual sea seemed to be getting closer to the Three Ring state.

He caressed the cold source Xuan crystals and a trace of red light flashed in his pupils. "Maybe after absorbing these source Xuan crystals, I can break through the barrier in one fell swoop."

And as long as he advanced to a higher level Xuan Shi, not only would his annual salary increase, but he would also have the opportunity to hold more important positions. How could he restrain himself?

At this moment.

Various rumors spread to the courtyard.

"It is said that each person in the East Wind Legion has been rewarded with six pieces of Yuan Xuanjing!"

"This is so unfair! We risk our lives on the battlefield while they stay in caves and control Xuan weapons from a distance. How come they have so much more than us?"

"The East Wind Legion is a legion created by Commander Cheng Xuncha, and they even participated in hunting down the Sea King of the Black Scale Tribe. How can we compare?"

"Yeah! Who let them follow a good boss?"

The discussions in the crowd were clearly filled with a sour taste.

Gu Jian touched the Yuan Xuanjing again, and his excitement cooled down a bit.

Suddenly, a thought arose in the mind of this intermediate-level Xuan Shi: "From the current situation, the scale of the East Wind Legion is bound to expand. Perhaps I should seek to join the East Wind Legion."

There is no Xuan Shi in the world who lacks intelligence.

What Gu Jian wants, others naturally want as well.

"The next time the East Wind Legion recruits Xuan Shi, I must secure a spot."

"The treatment in the East Wind Legion is so good, and they don't have to go to the battlefield to fight and risk their lives. Who doesn't want to join the East Wind Legion here?"

"The competition is so fierce that I'm afraid it's beyond the level of high-level Xuan Shi, and there is no guarantee that they can enter the East Wind Legion one hundred percent."

Gu Jian's gaze flickered.

High-level Xuan Shi?

He didn't want to listen to his colleagues' discussions anymore, so he turned and walked out of the hall.

Gu Jian made up his mind to practice diligently and promote to a high-level Xuan Shi as soon as possible.

At this moment.

He completely forgot about Deputy Commander Cheng's admonition not to temper the Xuan Domain tonight.

*

Two hours later.

Gu Jian sat quietly in the practice room, palms facing upwards, holding a shining Yuan Xuanjing.

There was a strange sight between his palms and the Yuan Xuanjing.

Strands of hot flames emerged from Gu Jian's palm, constantly licking the Yuan Xuanjing.

Inside his spiritual sea, the Xuan Seal trembled continuously, and the Xuan Domain began to expand slowly with a very small amplitude.

After a few minutes.

Gu Jian's face suddenly changed, and he spewed out a burst of flames.

The flame flashed and hit a wooden table in front of him, instantly igniting it.

Under normal circumstances.

Xuan Shi can control Xuan power at will and would not have such an incident.

This undoubtedly indicated that there was a brief loss of control over the Xuan power.

Inside Gu Jian's spiritual sea.

The Xuan Seal rapidly contracted and expanded, and the rhythm became noticeably chaotic, no longer carrying the stable rhythm as before.

Gu Jian inwardly felt that something was wrong and tried to restrain the Xuan Seal, attempting to suppress the abnormality of the Xuan power.

However.

He failed.

"Phew!"

A fierce flame suddenly emerged from his palm and rushed towards the Yuan Xuanjing, instantly sending it flying.

"Crack!"

There was a light sound.

The Yuan Xuanjing fell to the ground and shattered into three pieces.

This prismatic crystal, which originally shimmered with a strange light, became significantly dimmer after it broke.

This symbolized the loss of a large part of its source energy.

Gu Jian let out a painful cry and furrowed his brows tightly.

Just now, he experienced a backlash in his mind, causing a sharp pain like being pricked by needles.

And after the backlash.

The Xuan Seal returned to silence, and the Xuan power was barely restrained.

From another perspective.

This was a self-adjustment of the soul, getting rid of the out-of-control Xuan power, which was not a bad thing.

However.

There was a price to pay.

At least for the next three months, it was not advisable to temper the Xuan Domain again.

Otherwise, the probability of losing control would greatly increase.

Gu Jian immediately opened his eyes and locked his gaze on the shattered Yuan Xuanjing, unable to help but curse, "Damn it!"

He was only rewarded with four pieces of Yuan Xuanjing, and now he couldn't even absorb one-tenth of it before it was scrapped.

He had really suffered a big loss today!
