Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats-Chapter 94: [Beast Extermination Trial]
Elias was not bothered about proving his loyalty to the Lin Family; however, when he heard 'Cultivation Resources,' Elias was excited.
After becoming Ethan's subordinate, he was always on the receiving end, and Elias felt that he could use that opportunity to earn some treasures and give them to Ethan.
As for Ethan, the word 'Treasures' instantly lit up his eyes as he never said no to them.
Other than using them for himself, Ethan had Elias, Sera, and his parents to take care of.
So, he wanted to see whether he could use whatever opportunity that Merrick was talking about to earn some treasures and cultivation resources.
Thus, both Ethan and Elias asked Merrick about it.
"Just a few days ago, the Greenfire Sect announced the date of the annual competition of the Five Cultivation Families of the Emerald Green Plains, the Beast Extermination Trial. It will be held exactly ten days from today."
It was Rowan who revealed the opportunity that Merrick was talking about.
"Beast Extermination Trial?"
"Beast Extermination Trial? Great!"
Ethan didn't know about the competition, whereas Elias knew about it as it was not his first time hearing about it.
"Kai, since you have been away from home for a few years, you must not know about it."
Merrick was not surprised that Ethan didn't know about the competition. So, he started explaining it.
"The Greenfire Sect owns dozens of Secret Realms, and one of them is the Berserk Beast Realm. Inside it, there are countless Rank 1 and Rank 2 beasts, along with hundreds of Rank 3 and a dozen or so Rank 4 Berserk Beasts."
"Every year, the Greenfire Sect hosts a competition for the five families: Lin, Feng, Wu, Zhao, and Han."
"Each family has to send three teams, with each team consisting of no more than three participants, into the Berserk Beast Realm to kill those Berserk Beasts. Depending on the number of kills, a ranking is given to the five families."
"Based on these rankings, the Greenfire Sect will allocate the Special Cultivation Resources."
While explaining the event, Rowan became excited as he said, "Previously, the Lin Family ranked third and received some good cultivation resources that helped me break through a level close to the Golden Core Realm."
"Of course, other than the rewards for the families, the participants will also be separately rewarded by the Greenfire Sect, and the families have no right to take those rewards from the participants."
From the side, Merrick explained the most important thing that Ethan and Elias needed to know as he added:
"Most importantly, there is almost no danger in the Secret Realm because the Sect Elders in charge of overseeing the event would almost immediately teleport the participants who are in danger out of the Secret Realm."
"Interesting."
Ethan felt it was a good event; however, he could not help but ask, "There are other Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators in the family, right? Why do you want to send me and Elias?"
No matter how much Ethan contributed to the Lin Family, he was still an outsider, and how could the Lin Family leave two outsiders to join the event when there were only limited slots?
"Master, it is because only cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 25 are allowed to participate in the competition."
It was Elias who answered Ethan's question in a respectful tone.
"That's right! Two of the participants from last year have crossed the age limit set by the Greenfire Sect."
Merrick nodded and explained to Ethan, "Before you arrived, there were only seven members from the Lin Family who met the qualifications to participate in the event.
"Back then, I felt it was a Heaven's Blessing for the Lin Family when I learned you entered the Mystic Soil Domain and became a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"So, I instantly offered you the position of an Elder of my Lin Family and even convinced others."
Merrick revealed one of the main reasons why he offered an Elder position to Ethan.
"Oh."
Ethan raised his eyebrows at Merrick's words; however, thinking about it, he felt that Uncle Merrick was a bit reckless in promoting him to an Elder of the Family.
"Just as we were wondering how to fill the ninth participant from the Lin Family, Elias broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Rowan hurriedly shifted the topic to Elias and said to Merrick, "Brother, after our Grandfather disappeared, the Heavens are looking after our Lin Family. Don't you think?"
"Yes."
Merrick was a person of belief who believed in the Heavens, and until now, the Heavens hadn't disappointed him … except for one thing, which was his missing Grandfather. Merrick thought there was still time for him to return home.
"Elias, as long as you join the event as a Lin Family member and contribute towards a good ranking, no one will talk about you staying in the Lin Family's courtyard."
After explaining to Ethan about the event, Rowan turned to Elias and asked him about his decision.
They didn't ask for Ethan's decision because Ethan, as a Temporary Elder, had to join the event for the sake of the family.
Since there was no danger in the Secret Realm, Merrick didn't think Ethan would refuse to join the event.
"Once you join the event as a Lin Family Member, it would be a slap in the face for the Feng Family. So, of course, you can reject it."
Merrick didn't forget to add one of the major consequences if Elias entered the Beast Extermination Trial as a Lin Family member.
"Since the Master will be entering the event, I will enter along with him."
Elias stopped caring about the Feng Family, and he wanted to earn his cultivation resources in order not to become a burden to his master.
"Good."
Merrick smiled, seeing the determination in Elias' eyes as he explained, "Since there must be three participants in a team, I will send your third teammate in a couple of days. So, you three can train together and plan some tactics for the upcoming event."
"Sure, Uncle Merrick."
Ethan nodded and asked some more questions related to the Beast Extermination Trial to understand more about it.
They continued talking, and after checking on Ethan's parents, both Merrick and Rowan decided to leave.
"Uncles, other than Elias's breakthrough, I have another good news to share."
After thinking for a moment, Ethan took out one of the two Perfect Quality Clearheart Lotus flowers and showed it as proof of completing his Elder Promotion Assessment, "I have successfully nurtured the Clearheart Lotus."
"What? You nurtured the Clearheart Lotus already?"
"Wait a second… this quality… it is a Perfect Quality Clearheart Lotus."
Hearing that Ethan successfully nurtured the Clearheart Lotus within a single month was one shock; however, when they noticed the quality of the harvested lotus, they were both thoroughly shocked.
"Does this mean I am now a Permanent Elder of the Lin Family, right?"
Ethan liked the shocked looks on their faces as he asked with a smiling face.
"Definitely. I will inform the Family Head about it and officially announce your status."
Merrick hurriedly nodded his head as he thought, 'As I expected, he is a Born Spirit Farmer.'
Soon, they left the courtyard to discuss Ethan's achievement with their Second Brother, Family Head Edwin.
…
Next day,
'The Small Pond… it has completed its transformation into a Spirit Pond. It is time to plant the Dragonheart Lotus.'
