Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 39 Generous Rewards

The awards are actually mainly given to the top three in the elite group and the top three in the youth group, because these awards are fixed.

For Zhou Chun and others who ranked fourth to tenth, they can choose different rewards according to their own wishes.

The rewards for the top three are indeed very tempting.

For example, Zhou Zhengkang from the Zhou family won the first place in the youth group, and his reward was a first-grade top-grade magic weapon [Silver Cloud Shield], three bottles of [Jade Ginseng Pills] that can improve the cultivation of magic power, a second-grade magic talisman, and 500 spirit coins.

If these rewards were calculated in spirit coins, the total would be nearly two thousand, which would make ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators jealous.

The reward for the cultivator who wins first place in the elite group is a [Foundation Building Pill] that can increase the success rate of foundation building by 30%!
"The five major families are really willing to spend money. They can even use precious items like Foundation Establishment Pills as rewards for fighting competitions. They are really generous!"

In the audience, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who came to watch the ceremony sighed with emotion after seeing the award ceremony on the stage.

As soon as he said this, some of the foundation-building cultivators who came to watch the ceremony started to talk.

"Isn't it? That's a foundation-building pill, one pill is worth thousands of spirit coins, and it's often hard to buy it even if you have money!"

"Hey, thinking back to the beginning, I also wanted to buy the foundation-building pill, but unfortunately after scraping together money for more than ten years, I only managed to collect less than a thousand spirit coins. In the end, I could only risk my life and forcefully build my foundation. Fortunately, I was lucky and succeeded in the end!"

"It's too unrealistic to buy foundation-building pills by yourself. Without the support of a family or sect, it's impossible for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage to earn a few thousand spirit coins, even if he becomes a bandit and robs people!"

“So I really envy the younger generations of the five major families. They don’t have to go out and fight monsters to death, nor do they have to compete with those bandits in wits and courage. They have the opportunity to obtain foundation-building pills through this kind of fighting competition. How lucky they are!”

Each of the foundation-building cultivators recalled the sad experiences before they built their foundations, and at this moment they were all envious of the lucky person on the stage who obtained the foundation-building pill.

Even though they no longer need the Foundation Establishment Pill, it does not stop them from feeling envious of the cultivators who possess this precious elixir.

Of course, besides envy, if they have any other thoughts, only they themselves know.

At this time, after presenting the awards, the patriarchs of the five major immortal cultivation families thanked all the cultivators who came to watch the ceremony, and then announced the end of the martial arts competition.

Then, monks like Zhou Chun who ranked in the top ten in their groups were all called together individually and asked to choose their rewards from a list.

The list included various items such as magical instruments, talismans, elixirs, monster eggs, etc., and the value of each item ranged from approximately two hundred to four hundred spirit coins.

Zhou Chun had already decided what to choose as a reward.

Therefore, he just glanced at the list and immediately took the initiative to choose two bottles of [Jade Ginseng Pills].

This [Jade Ginseng Pill] is a specialty of the Wang family in Hongyao Valley. It is said to be made with hundreds of years old yellow jade ginseng as the main ingredient. It has a mild medicinal property and is easy to refine. Its medicinal power is much stronger than the Zhou family's [Chun Yang Pill].

Generally, the Wang family rarely sells this kind of elixir. They are either exchanged for family members or used to exchange for special spiritual objects from other families and sects.

Just like this time Zhou Chun also saw the Zhou family’s specialty [Beast Spirit Pill] on the list.

After all the rewards were selected, the cultivators from the Zhou family and other four immortal cultivation families left Hongyao Valley accompanied by the cultivators from the Wang family.

When leaving, Zhou Daoyi's Sky Blue Cloud Python undoubtedly brought great honor to the Zhou family.

At that time, seeing the Zhou family members riding on the python and flying away freely, every cultivator from each family was stunned, their eyes filled with envy and longing.

Although they had heard about this incident from some Zhou family cultivators before, they still could not hide their shock and envy after seeing it with their own eyes.

Only the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage are knowledgeable and experienced, yet can maintain their composure and not lose face too much.

After flying in the air for more than an hour on the Sky Blue Cloud Python, Zhou Chun and the others had a smooth journey back to the Zhou family in Jiufengling.

"You all performed very well in this five-family martial arts competition, and the results you achieved satisfied me and my family."

"Especially Zhengkang, who won first place in the youth group and greatly enhanced the reputation of our Zhou family. He deserves a generous reward!"

"There are also Jiacheng, Jiapeng, Zhengtao, and Zhengchun. They all made it into the top ten of their group. This brings honor to our Zhou family and is also a great reward!"

"As for the other members of the tribe who were not selected, although they did not make it into the top ten, their performances were remarkable and they deserve credit for their hard work."

In the "Zhongping Hall" at Pagoda Peak, clan leader Zhou Daoyi looked at the twenty Qi-refining cultivators of the Zhou family in the hall and gave a summary speech as he spoke with a look of satisfaction and joy on his face about this fighting competition.

After hearing his words, most of the Zhou family cultivators in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Those monks who did not make it into the top ten were worried that they would be scolded by the clan leader.

But they didn't expect to be praised. This was the exact opposite of what they had worried about, and they were immediately pleasantly surprised. The disappointment and frustration caused by not being selected disappeared immediately.

At this time, clan leader Zhou Daoyi looked at all the clan members and pondered for a moment, then announced in a deep voice the rewards for everyone.

"I have been trusted by the Grand Elder and all the clansmen to serve as the head of the Zhou clan. When it comes to rewarding and punishing clan members, I always adhere to the principle of rewarding those who have made contributions and punishing those who have made mistakes."

"Zhengkang won first place in the youth group this time, and his contribution is very great. Simply promoting him to a core member of the clan is not enough to reward him. Therefore, I will discuss with other elders and report to the Grand Elder to cultivate him as the family's foundation-building seed. In the future, he will have the priority to use foundation-building pills and other foundation-building spiritual items!"

"Jiacheng and Jiapeng have made great contributions to the family in the past. This time, they have brought honor to the family. With their accumulated merits, they will be promoted to core members of the family."

“Although Zheng Tao and Zheng Chun are young, they have contributed to the family’s reputation and deserve to be rewarded. So, I will first reward each of them with a chance to practice a secret technique. If they can make more contributions in the future, they can be promoted to core members of the clan!”

"The rest of the people will also receive a corresponding amount of family merit reward based on their performance!"

Wow! ! !
As soon as Zhou Daoyi finished speaking about the rewards within the clan, the faces of the Zhou family cultivators in the hall suddenly became extremely excited.

The five people like Zhou Zhengkang who received special rewards from the clan were naturally very happy and very satisfied with the rewards from the clan.

But while they were happy, people like Zhou Zhengtao and Zhou Chun, who failed to be directly promoted to core members of the clan, couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Zhou Jiacheng and Zhou Jiapeng, who were directly promoted to core members of the clan, should have been very happy and satisfied.

However, when they thought of the reward from Zhou Zhengkang, the younger generation of the family, the joy in their hearts was greatly reduced.

As for those monks who failed to enter the top ten in the group, they were looking at the five people with envious eyes, especially Zhou Zhengkang, who felt extremely complicated.

Zhou Daoyi saw all of this, and he even knew what those Zhou family cultivators were thinking at the moment.

But since he has made this decision, he won't care what other members of the tribe think.

Resources are limited, and it is impossible to take care of everyone.

If you really envy the resources that others have, then you should strive to make contributions to the family yourself!
So he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, regarding the rewards within the clan, this is what we have decided for now. You have been tired these past few days, so go back and have a good rest!"

"Yes, junior, please take your leave."

No matter what mood the Zhou family cultivators were in at the moment, they all quickly responded in unison, then left the "Zhongping Hall" and left Pagoda Peak.

Zhou Chun and Zhou Zhengyong both lived in Baozhi Peak, so naturally they went back together.

The two of them each had their own thoughts along the way and did not communicate until they arrived outside Zhou Chun's residence.

Zhou Zhengyong said with a complicated expression, "I never thought that the clan leader would choose my seventh brother as the foundation-building seed. Once this gets out, I'm afraid the elders in the family will be in a state of panic!"

Zhou Chun naturally understood what he meant.

There are quite a few "Jia" generation elders in the Zhou family who have reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and there are also quite a few who have reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

These people who could build their foundation immediately, and who were several decades older than Zhou Zhengkang, were unable to become the family's foundation-building seeds and receive the family's resources for training.

Now Zhou Zhengkang, a young man with the cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage, has won this honor. How could those people be easily convinced?

After all, the Zhou family is a family of immortal cultivators connected by blood. Many of the elders have close blood ties with the clan leader and elders, and some are even close blood descendants of a certain elder.

If they start making trouble, there will probably be some turmoil within the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Chun did not want to discuss this matter any more. Anyway, it would not be his turn to be the family's foundation-building seed, so why bother himself with troubles.

He immediately shook his head and said softly, "We should not interfere in the affairs of our elders. Since the clan leader has decided to do this, he must have his considerations."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengyong's expression also changed. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, with the wisdom of the clan leader, how could he not think of something that I can think of? He must have come up with a perfect plan!"

After saying that, he bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "Then I won't disturb you from resting, brother Thirteen. I will go back and have a good sleep first."

"Brother Yong, take care."

Zhou Chun responded, and after watching Zhou Zhengyong walk away, he also walked into the yard.
