Chapter 37: Returning to the Sect (2/2)
2 days later, the 3 of them returned to the Mystical Sky Yard. Han Ling Feng immediately took them to find a sect elder which she knew. They only vaguely told the elder what happened. They mentioned that the 5 of them went to pick the moonlight gra.s.s, and unexpectedly provoked the Blood Ravens. In the end, they were forced to separate as they could not win against the Blood Ravens. Gu Long and Xuan Wu went missing, and the 3 of them escaped into a cave where they unexpectedly found a spiritual stone mine. After they stayed there for a few days, they escaped with great difficulty by diving under water at night.
Although the story was not very coherent, but it was not much of a problem and did not have any flaws. The crux is that that Gu Long and Xuan Wu both died and had their corpse ravaged by the Blood Ravens, and there was no one to testify against their them. Furthermore, with their contribution, the upper echelons would not look too much into the details but would be more interested in the spiritual rock mine.
After investigating the spiritual rock mine which the 3 of them presented, the foundational stage cultivators were really excited and reported up quickly. Very soon, the upper echelons were informed.
This matter has earned the undivided attention of the upper echelons. After all, it involves the future of the sect. They could not even wait till dawn and sent out 3 Jindan stage experts in the night. They led more than a hundred foundational stage cultivators and flew over majestically.
The existence of the mine was quickly verified to be the true, but information regarding it was locked down. Only a few people were informed and was prohibited from spreading it. After all, that was not within the territory of the Mystical Sky Yard, it would not be good for the matter to blow up and for others to know about it. The Mystical Sky Yard may be very strong, but a good dog could not defend against many wolves. Within this mountain range, there were over a thousand sects cultivating Dao. Furthermore, there were 7 or 8 sects which had the same strength as the Mystical Sky Yard!
In the following days, many astounding news percolated amongst the outer court disciples. The first was that Han Ling Feng, as a 7th level XianTian stage cultivator, became an inner court disciple as an exception. Plus, a JinDan stage expert had his eyes on Han Ling Feng, and took her in as an unofficial disciple. The moment she advances to the foundational stage, she would be made an official disciple. At the same time, as a gift on their first meeting, the cultivator actually gave her a pair of fire and ice dual disk magical artifact!
Remember, what Han Ling Feng got was not a magical tool, but a 3rd grade magical artifact. The difference was too great! A magical tool was what a XianTian or foundational stage disciple would commonly use. But a magical artifact is something which can only be refined defined by the Natal fire of a JinDan stage cultivator. Even a low grade magical artifact is far more valuable than a high grade magical tool.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, a foundational stage cultivator would only get a magical artifact in the later stages. As for Han Ling Feng who could get it at the XianTian stage, such things would usually only happen in the n.o.ble families of Dao cultivators. With this ice and fire dual disk which was worth over a few million spiritual stones, Han Ling Feng’s prowess has been elevated by leaps and bounds. She should be able to fight with a foundational stage cultivator already.
Of course, not all JinDan stage cultivators would give their unofficial disciple such a treasure. Although it was not declared, but Han Ling Feng and company knew that it was one of the rewards from the sect.
Apart from that, Han Ling Feng also received a decade worth of access to both the Fire and Water Divine Hall. This was also a very big reward. You have to know, in order for an ordinary disciple to enter for a day, he have to pay a fee of 100 spiritual stones! As for the 10 years of free admission given to Han Ling Feng, that was worth hundred thousands of spiritual stones!
