After Fifth Great Uncle and this Purple Mansion Elder exchanged some pleasantries, Wang Daoyuan followed him to the Netherworld Sect.
The two of them rode on the extremely fast third-grade flying boat.
It only took half a day to reach the Darkwater Valley from Jadespring Peak.
Along the way, this Purple Mansion Elder did his best to worm his way into being friends with him.
From their conversation, he learned that this person was an old clan cultivator from the southern part of Qingli County, named Jiang Jingming.
The Jiang clan he belonged to was a thousand-year-old clan, but it had always been lukewarm and didn't produce any powerful figures. It also didn't suffer much damage during the war between the three sects.
It wasn't until he became a Purple Mansion Cultivator that the Jiang clan became powerful.
However, Jiang Jingming's talent was only above average, and he had basically reached the end of his cultivation at the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.
He also didn't have any special skills, and would only be an elder with no duties in this lifetime.
After he passed away, the Jiang clan would still decline.
Wang Daoyuan was highly regarded by the sect head, and the sect head personally said that he would definitely establish his Purple Mansion in twenty or thirty years.
Now, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he had the authority to manage the clan.
After establishing his Purple Mansion, he would directly become an elder with real power.
In the future, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become a hall master.
If he could worm his way into being friends with the Jiang clan in the future, when the Wang clan became powerful, it would be easier for him to take care of the Jiang clan.
Wang Daoyuan was naturally well aware of Jiang Jingming's thoughts.
However, it was better for someone to worm their way into being friends with him than to be enemies with him.
The two of them chatted along the way, and soon arrived at the Darkwater Valley where the Netherworld Sect was located.
Jiang Jingming came out on a mission from the sect head, so he didn't need to be checked when entering or leaving the sect.
After the two of them entered the sect, Wang Daoyuan wanted to follow the rules and directly walk up the stone steps to the highest meeting hall.
Jiang Jingming waved his hand and said, "Steward Wang, you don't need to walk up. The sect head has already instructed that you can directly fly up on your sword after coming here."
Wang Daoyuan thought to himself, This treatment is probably equivalent to the ancient times of the world in my previous life.
This is standard for powerful officials, and not a good thing.
To be cautious, it's better to obediently follow the rules.
He did not fly up on his sword. Instead, he walked up step by step along the stone steps.
The Netherworld Sect didn't have any rules about the behavior of its disciples, so Wang Daoyuan ran a little faster.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he had already run over ten miles of stairs.
After entering the Conference Hall, Luo Jiuyou sat at the head of the table, while the other Violet Mansion Elders sat on the east and west sides.
Luo Jiuyou smiled and asked, "Dao Yuan, I allowed you to fly up on your sword. Why did you run up here?"
Wang Daoyuan bowed and said, "Even Zifu Disciples are unable to directly fly over the stone steps in front of the gate. I am merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. How would I dare violate the rules of the sect?"
Luo Jiuyou nodded with satisfaction and said, "You've made great contributions to the sect many times, yet you can still be so humble.
You've made a lot of contributions to the sect in refining flying warships.
But due to the circumstances, you were only given the position and authority of the Refining Hall's steward.
You were the first to discover the enemy's sneak attack in the three forts east of Wu Cheng Guan and reported it to Palace Master Gu.
It was also you, with the cooperation of Elder Liang, who used a formation to break the lifeblood magic artifact of that Zifu Disciple from the Kingdom of Song.
You caused him to be heavily injured, giving us a chance to fight.
During the battle, as the head of logistics, you commanded everyone to repair a total of 130 flying warships, 70 of which belonged to our Netherworld Sect.
You personally saved 479 Foundation Establishment Cultivators, 290 of which belonged to our Netherworld Sect.
If it weren't for you, the number of sect disciples who died in this final battle would have been many times greater.
Although you didn't personally participate in the battle, your contributions added together are greater than the vast majority of Zifu Disciples who participated in the battle.
What reward do you want? Just tell me.
As long as it's something I can give, I'll give it to you. "
What Wang Daoyuan needed the most right now was naturally the Yin Yang Purple Jade.
But Luo Jiuyou wouldn't be willing to give it to him. There was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to get it.
Even if he gave him face, he would inevitably hate him in the future.
If a Golden Core cultivator hated him, his life would be in danger, and he might even implicate his clan.
If he asked for the Yin Yang Purple Jade, the risk of being hated was 100%. The probability of getting it was not high.
He had already made progress in getting the Yin Yang Purple Jade from Blood Shadow, so there was no need to take this risk.
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said, "The refining of the flying warships and the subsequent repair of the flying warships were all thanks to the concerted efforts of many Daoyou. It wasn't the work of me alone.
As for treating the injured Daoyou, I used the Dharma spell that you bestowed upon me, Sect Master.
In terms of contributions, Sect Master's contributions are greater.
I did all these things because of my own responsibility. I dare not claim credit for it. "
No matter how hard one tried, flattery would never work.
After hearing Wang Daoyuan's words, even though Luo Jiuyou had lived for hundreds of years and was also an old fox, he was still very happy.
When those in power nurtured talents, what they cared about the most was nothing more than loyalty, talent, and gratitude.
Wang Daoyuan had all of these. At least he seemed to be a loyal person, so Luo Jiuyou was naturally very satisfied.
Luo Jiuyou's face was full of smiles. "You're young, but you're able to not be arrogant. Very good.
However, if I don't reward you, people will say that I don't know how to reward and punish you.
Since you're not asking, I'll reward you with something good.
You're now at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and not far from establishing your Violet Palace.
Once you reach the Violet Palace Realm, you'll have to refine your natal magic weapon.
I happen to have a set of refining methods for the five elements natal magic weapons. It's of the same origin as the Five Elements Devil Suppression Seal that I gave you before, so they can complement each other.
I originally wanted to give it to you after you established your Violet Palace.
Since you've made a great contribution, I'll give it to you in advance so that you can collect the materials in advance.
I also have some materials for refining one of the magic weapons, so I'll give it to you as well.
In addition, you defended the three eastern fortresses of Wucheng Pass, saved many cultivators of the Myriad Spirit Sect, and repaired their flying ships. They also rewarded you. "
With that, Luo Jiuyou waved his hand, and two storage bags flew to Wang Daoyuan.
Wang Daoyuan caught the storage bags and bowed. "Thank you for your reward, Sect Master."
Hearing Luo Jiuyou mention establishing his Violet Palace, Wang Daoyuan was really a little excited.
He thought that Luo Jiuyou had suddenly become generous and rewarded him with a piece of Yin Yang Purple Jade, but he didn't expect it to be the refining method for the natal magic weapon.
The method of refining a Natal Dharma Artifact included the selection of materials, refining, and nurturing of the Natal Dharma Artifact.
The Wang Clan was once a Golden Core clan, so they naturally had the refining method for the natal magic weapon.
However, the refining method left behind by the ancestor was to refine a long sword of the water attribute.
This refining method was very suitable for the Twelfth Uncle and Fifth Uncle, but it wasn't very useful for Wang Daoyuan.
Luo Jiuyou rewarding him with the refining method for the five elements magic weapon was quite useful.
In particular, he also rewarded him with the materials for refining the magic weapon. These things were quite good. The materials for refining the natal magic weapon were particularly difficult to find.
Even if it was the most common Natal Magic Artifact, the materials required would be at least of the third level of the lower grade.
Now that he could get some, he could save a lot of effort.
After the rewards were given, Wang Daoyuan consciously retreated to the last seat of the elders, waiting for the Sect Master to reward the others according to their merits.
Those who were rewarded were mostly cultivators who participated in the final battle and made a lot of contributions.
Among them was Xu Tingxuan. He had Wang Daoyuan to help him repair the flying warship, so he fought bravely in every battle.
When the warship was damaged, it ran back to the three eastern fortresses to be repaired. After it was repaired, it was still the same.
Relying on his desperation, Xu Tingxuan commanded the flying warship to kill three Violet Palace Realm cultivators and more than twenty Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from the Song Kingdom. He also destroyed two of the Song Kingdom's flying warships.
The rewards given by Luo Jiuyou weren't very precious, just some spirit stones and a refining inheritance.
However, Xu Tingxuan was recommended by the Refining Hall to obtain the Yin Yang Purple Jade.
In addition, he had made a great contribution, so the probability of obtaining the Yin Yang Purple Jade was very high.
