Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 378 - 220: Dividing the Treasures, Immortal Sect Shaken!
This made Qu Xuanlei and Hu Tianying on the side smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
However, after a while, Zhao Ming finally remembered the main business. He took out a flying ship from the spatial artifact, activated his mana, and the ship expanded, stretching across the void, allowing everyone to board.
Then, the flying ship transformed into a beam of light and headed in the direction of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
On the deck of the flying ship.
Zhao Ming took out a jade bottle and with a smile said to the three, "Next, is the treasure distribution part that everyone loves to hear."
Upon hearing this, Qu Xuanlei, Hu Tianying, and Qi Chuan all couldn’t help but fix their eyes on the jade bottle.
No one present would not long for the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
Just a single drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow is worth two years of cultivation.
Ten drops would be twenty years.
However, overuse of the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow would reduce its effects, and eventually, the benefits would greatly diminish.
Even so, Celestial Heart Flame Marrow remains an invaluable resource in the Core Formation Realm.
"First, all participants of the Three Sects competition will each receive one drop," Zhao Ming said.
Then he opened the jade plug, and four drops of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow rose from the jade bottle, flying towards Qi Chuan, Qu Xuanlei, and Hu Tianying respectively.
Qu Xuanlei and Hu Tianying hurriedly took out small jade bottles and captured their respective drops of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
Qi Chuan did the same, taking out a small jade bottle to store his share.
For him, with the Hundredfold Critical Strike, the effect of a single drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow was much greater than for others.
Moreover, he could use the pill formula from the Celestial Pill Elder’s heritage to refine the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow into pills, which would yield even better results.
After the three took their three drops of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, one drop remained in the void.
Zhao Ming also happily took out a small jade bottle and stored that remaining drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, then said with a smile, "Leading you all is a meritorious deed, and since I participated in the Three Sects competition as well, I can rightfully claim one drop, is there any problem with that?"
"No problem, no problem." Qu Xuanlei nodded repeatedly.
"Absolutely, the Sect Leader should take a few more drops; just one drop is too little." Hu Tianying quickly added.
Qi Chuan was taken aback.
He thought that whatever was left after the distribution would be at Zhao Ming’s disposal.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming claimed only one drop in front of everyone, which, although justifiable, effectively reduced what he would ultimately take.
Such integrity!
So he also said, "The Sect Leader taking just one drop is indeed too little."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming glanced at the three with an approving look, acknowledging their ambition wholeheartedly, but he did not take any more Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
Then he continued the distribution.
"Those who win in the magical combat can receive an extra drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow."
Saying this, Zhao Ming looked at Qi Chuan and smiled, "Junior Brother Qi Chuan, you achieved the top position in the magical combat at the Core Formation Early Stage, this drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow is a reward for your merit."
A drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow rose from the jade bottle and flew in front of Qi Chuan. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Qu Xuanlei and Hu Tianying both cast envious glances towards Qi Chuan.
However, they knew that this was well-deserved by Qi Chuan.
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
Qi Chuan naturally expressed his gratitude and accepted this drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
For him, part of what he did was to repay the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
But repaying a debt is one thing, and receiving an extra reward is another, which he would gladly accept.
"And then, this time, our Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect won the overall first place in the Three Sects competition; you three true participants can each receive an additional drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow!" Zhao Ming announced loudly, as this reward was a boost to the prestige of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
Three more drops of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow rose from the jade bottle and flew towards the three.
"Thank you, Sect Leader. The Sect Leader is so generous." Hu Tianying and the others once again thanked joyously and received the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
Qi Chuan also expressed his gratitude in the same way.
After he accepted this drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, he had a total of three drops in his hand.
"Lastly,"
At this time, Zhao Ming again looked at Qi Chuan, and another Celestial Heart Flame Marrow rose from the jade bottle, flying towards Qi Chuan. Zhao Ming smiled and said, "This drop was previously promised to you."
Qi Chuan was slightly puzzled by this.
But he quickly remembered.
Previously, Zhao Ming indeed mentioned that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect had a tradition of temporarily favoring newly promoted Core Formation True Masters with resources. Earlier, Zhao Ming promised to give him a drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow. This drop was to be granted even if he did not participate in the Three Sects competition.
This time, it was to fulfill that promise.
"Thank you, Sect Leader." Qi Chuan again sincerely thanked him and accepted this drop of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
In this way, he now had a total of four drops of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow.
While Qu Xuanlei and Hu Tianying each only had two drops, leaving him with twice their amount.
This kind of reward, which doesn’t overlap, is delightful.
Unlike when in his previous life, during school holidays, which overlapped, a three-day holiday would coincide with the weekend, and then the next weekend they would have to make up the two days.
In the end, in two weeks, there were only three days off...
The pain was unbearable to recall.
Now, with four drops of Celestial Heart Flame Marrow, the progress of his cultivation reaching the peak of the Core Formation Early Stage will greatly accelerate.
However, before that, he still needs to become a Tier Three Lower Grade Alchemist; otherwise, he won’t be able to refine the Celestial Heart Flame Marrow into pills.
The Celestial Heart Flame Marrow is too precious, and it’s not feasible to use it to practice alchemy skills.
Fortunately, his alchemy skills are now already at the peak of a Tier Two Alchemist.
The distance to a Tier Three Lower Grade Alchemist is only a step away.
...
Some time later, the flying ship returned to the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
Learning that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect actually achieved first place in the Three Sects competition, and that Qi Chuan achieved a crucial victory in the magical combat at the Core Formation Early Stage, and in the chaos, he defeated the Core Formation Early Stage candidates from Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion one against two in an overwhelming manner.
Within the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, all the Core Formation True Masters were stunned.
No one expected Qi Chuan to achieve such an outstanding record.
Previously, Qi Chuan indeed defeated Wang Tong to obtain a place in the Three Sects competition.
However, even if Wang Tong had participated in the Three Sects competition, he wouldn’t have been so astonishing; he might have won, but there was a chance of losing too.
Thus, all the Core Formation True Masters had a new perception of Qi Chuan’s magical combat power.
Meanwhile, Wang Tong was the most surprised upon hearing this news.
He was nearly in a daze for half a day.
"I didn’t expect Junior Brother Qi Chuan to have such prowess..." Wang Tong said with a wry smile.
Back then, he was actually wholeheartedly convinced when defeated by Qi Chuan.
He considered that he was not as skillful, that there was nothing to say about it.
So after that battle, he was determined to improve himself, whether in magical combat power or cultivation.
He contemplated either breaking through to the Core Formation Middle Stage.
Or he thought of improving his magical combat power to reclaim the title of being first at the Core Formation Early Stage within the Immortal Sect.
All of this stemmed from his belief that although he was inferior to Qi Chuan, it was only by a thin margin.
He also thought if he had known Qi Chuan’s methods in advance and had prepared adequately, he would still have a good chance of winning.
But what was the result?
Qi Chuan showed him through the most straightforward and direct results that the difference between them was indeed more than a thin margin.
Although he believed that whether facing Qing Jianzi from Cangjian Pavilion or Song Dan from Yin Yang Mansion, he definitely could put up a good fight.
Even claiming that first place, he thought he had a certain opportunity to achieve.
However, to do that, like Qi Chuan, confronting two opponents and winning overwhelmingly, while maximizing the honor of the Sect.
This time, for this Junior Brother Qi Chuan, Wang Tong truly felt a sense of admiration deep within his heart.
