The Profound Spirit Bell in Xuan Ling Sect's main hall rang nine times, shaking the entire Xuan Ling Sect and causing everyone to cheer. This meant that the Xuan Ling Great Reward had officially ended.
Two hours ago, when Yi Tian came out of Xuan Yang Cave, he only saw Nangong Aotian and two Jin Dan cultivators waiting at the entrance. Everyone else had already left. After giving the jade box to Nangong Aotian, Yi Tian requested to take care of it. Picking fruits inside was too tiring.
Originally, Nangong Aotian was still fuming with rage, but when he lifted the seal talisman and opened the jade box to take a look, his face visibly twitched. Then, he quickly closed the lid and stuck a seal on it. As someone who had plucked a fruit before, he knew how difficult the process of plucking the fruit was.
Su Qiaoyang and Fan Hongfei also took advantage of the time and secretly used their divine sense to scan the box. They roughly found that there were no less than three fruits inside. The two looked at each other and knew that the sect master had struck it big this time. This disciple from an aristocratic family was definitely going to be lucky, so they quickly went up to congratulate Yi Tian.
They heard Nangong Aotian say, "Immediately gather all the direct disciples in the sect and ring the Profound Spirit Bell to start the sacrifice." Then, he directly flew away with the jade box.
The two beside him only sent a message to a Foundation Establishment disciple to receive them, then followed the sect master's footsteps and ran away, leaving Yi Tian alone. Fortunately, the disciple who received them was Nangong Jie. This made Yi Tian feel a little better, but he still couldn't stop muttering, "Are you people from Xuan Ling Sect burning the bridge after crossing the river? Leaving after taking the things."
In the center of the main hall was Nangong Aotian, the sect master of Xuan Ling Sect, sitting on a praying mat and reading the sacrificial text in his hand. Below him was a row of Jin Dan elders with smiles on their faces. The seats behind them were all direct disciples. Yi Tian saw that Nangong Qianyun was sitting in the fourth row. It was obvious that her position wasn't among the top in the sect.
There were only about forty to fifty people in the main hall. Other than the people from Xuan Ling Sect, there were also cultivators from Iron Sword Gate and Chiyang School. Xiao Linhang was also sitting in the audience seat. The other cultivators from aristocratic families didn't have the qualifications to enter the main hall.
Sitting in the last row were the inner disciples who had participated in the Mysterious Yang Cave's trial. Yi Tian, as the hero of this trip to the Mysterious Yang Cave, was assigned to the corner of the last row, next to Nangong Jie and a few of his fellow apprentices. It was because of his meritorious service that a praying mat was specially arranged for him.
Now, these people were looking at Yi Tian with eyes full of jealousy. Even Cai Wenqiang's face was a little sour. Only Nangong Jie, who knew the inside story, was in an excited state.
Those who could break through the Mysterious Yang Cave's checkpoint and obtain the Mysterious Yang Fruit would have limitless achievements in the future. His Nangong Clan relied on Nangong Aotian to obtain two Mysterious Yang Fruits 180 years ago to establish their foundation in Xuan Ling Sect and become the number one true disciple at that time.
During the last sacrificial ceremony of the Profound Spirit Great Reward, the Jin Dan cultivators actually saw a jade box placed in front of Nangong Aotian's praying mat. Everyone was excited.
Nangong Jie whispered to Yi Tian, "The sound of the Profound Spirit Bell is also very particular. If there is nothing in Profound Yang Cave, it will be struck six times. If there is a Profound Yang Fruit, it will be struck nine times. This foolish man thought that the exploration of the cave was successful."
Hearing this, Yi Tian curled his lips and said jokingly, "Then what about two Profound Yang Fruits? Is it eighteen knocks? "
Nangong Jie frowned and said, "There is no such thing. However, if there is more than one Profound Yang Fruit, your reward will be doubled. You can rest assured. But then again, how many Profound Yang Fruits did you bring out? "
Seeing Nangong Jie's anxious expression, Yi Tian quietly stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers. When the former saw this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes were filled with admiration as they muttered in their hearts, "This brother-in-law is too fierce. I wonder what will happen later."
When Nangong Aotian, who was sitting on the main seat, finished reading the sacrificial rites, he ignited the sacrificial rites with his finger and burned it. Only then did the Profound Spirit Great Reward truly come to an end.
However, the elders and disciples sitting below all had a serious expression on their faces. Everyone knew that the ceremony before was just an appetizer. The real main event had just begun. As for Fan Hongfei and Su Qiaoyang, their faces were flushed red. They knew that there were a lot of good things inside the jade box. Just now, they had only roughly scanned it with their divine sense before the lid was closed by the sect head.
Seeing that the people below were all brothers, Nangong Aotian could not dampen their spirits. He coughed dryly and stretched out his hand to gently open the seal and the lid of the jade box.
Although the disciples sitting at the back were quite far away, their eyes were bright. When they saw the five Profound Yang Fruits neatly arranged in the box, everyone's mind became lively. The Jin Dan cultivators in the first row were all experienced and were able to remain calm. However, the direct disciples in the back began to become restless.
The five fruits in the jade box could at least be used to refine fifty bottles of Profound Spirit Clear Liquid. Then, Xuan Ling Sect would not have to worry about this for at least sixty years. Adding the Profound Spirit Clear Liquid to some level five and above pills could increase the success rate by a lot. This was also the reason why the Jin Dan cultivators paid attention to it.
Nangong Qianyun, on the other hand, looked at Yi Tian with a face full of admiration. After meeting her gaze for a moment, Yi Tian quietly raised his hand and gestured with his mouth, "See you later." Nangong Qianyun understood and just smiled. She then turned her head and put her eyes on the jade box in front of her again.
With a 'pa' sound, the jade box was closed again. Nangong Aotian said with a face full of smiles, "The harvest this time is quite good. After refining the Profound Spirit Clear Liquid, every inner disciple will be able to receive a drop as a reward."
The crowd immediately burst into cheers. Most of the disciples also had a face full of smiles. Even Nangong Jie pulled Yi Tian and said, "This drop of Profound Spirit Clear Liquid is very useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators. It can be exchanged for three to four years of bitter cultivation. This time, it is all thanks to Brother Yi."
However, Yi Tian did not even turn his head. He only replied with a smile, "Brother Nangong, thank you, thank you." In his heart, he said, 'If you know that I ate two, you will cut me into pieces. Now, I can only pretend to be mysterious.'
The entire ceremony lasted for less than 45 minutes. Nangong Aotian took the jade box and went to arrange for the sect's pill refiners to refine the Profound Spirit Clear Liquid with a few of his Golden Core Realm senior and junior brothers. The disciples of the sect all dispersed. Yi Tian heard many people were still excitedly discussing. After taking a few steps, he saw Nangong Qianyun standing in front of him with a smile waiting for him. Looking at her indicating the location of the side hall, Yi Tian ignored the gazes of others and directly followed.
After a while, the two came to a reception room in the side hall. After sitting down, Nangong Qianyun sneered and said, "You picked five this time. Even I was surprised."
Seeing that there was no one around, Yi Tian became bolder. He directly walked up and asked, "Is it safe here? Will there be people eavesdropping?"
Nangong Qianyun's face blushed. After a pause, she got up and closed the door of the reception room. She activated the restriction in the room and then turned to Yi Tian and said, "There is a restriction here. Jin Dan cultivators can't eavesdrop on our conversation."
Seeing this, Yi Tian directly took out a jade box and a flower pot filled with mud from his storage pouch. He gently handed them over to Nangong Qianyun and said, "The one outside is for them. The one inside is for you."
Originally, Nangong Qianyun was expecting Yi Tian to have something to say. After being stunned for a while, she said with a bitter face, "Don't you have anything else to say?"
As for the rest, Yi Tian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's very difficult to pick fruits in there. And the soil on the ground, I spent a lot of effort to dig up a piece. Can you see if it can be used?"
Nangong Qianyun just softly replied, "It's really hard on you."
"It's not hard, but being able to help you is the happiest thing in my heart. See if the things in the box can be used."
After unsealing the talisman and opening the lid, Nangong Qianyun exclaimed, "How many did you pick?"
Seeing Yi Tian make a "guess" gesture, Nangong Qianyun just looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She then reached out and closed the lid, pasted a seal, and put the jade box into her storage bracelet.
Then after looking at the soil in the flower pot, she said with a face of joy, "This is top grade spiritual plant cultivation soil. With this, I can directly plant a large number of purple nether fragrant orchids."
"What is top grade spiritual plant cultivation soil? This mud is very hard. I had to break my shovel and hoe before I managed to dig out this much. "Yi Tian asked with a puzzled expression.
"You don't know, but the spiritual plant cultivation soil above is rich in spirit qi, so much so that the soil has already crystallized. The soil you brought out can be separated and mixed with medium grade spiritual plant cultivation soil. It can be used to plant about half an acre of land. It can be used to plant level 5 and above herbs, but it will take a little longer."
"Then how do I mash the mud?" Yi Tian asked. If this problem wasn't solved, the other half of the spiritual plant cultivation soil in his storage bracelet would be useless.
Nangong Qianyun smiled sweetly, then stood up, took out a small bottle, and dripped a drop of spirit liquid on the soil. Yi Tian saw the pile of soil slowly soften at a speed visible to the naked eye. It could no longer maintain the shape of a lump. In the end, it turned into a pile of sludge and was stored in the spirit plant pot.
"That's good. If it isn't level 6 and above, there's no need for such a high concentration of cultivation soil. I'll take it to the spirit herb garden to dilute it and transplant a few level 5 spiritual plants to 90% of the soil."
After looking for a while, Yi Tian finally asked, "Actually, I want to ask what kind of reward Sect Leader Nangong will give me this time."
Seeing Yi Tian's hesitant manner, Nangong Qianyun found it funny. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Then, Nangong Qianyun put away everything, opened the restriction in the room, and went out alone.
In all fairness, Yi Tian gave Xuan Ling Sect six Profound Yang Fruits this time, and he also gave Nangong Qianyun special treatment. He didn't know how much Xuan Ling Sect would give in return. According to Nangong Qianyun's appearance, Yi Tian believed that it wouldn't be little.
Right now, their relationship seemed to have deviated from the norm in the eyes of Xuan Ling Sect's inner disciples. Yi Tian was also afraid that someone would report him to the upper echelons. If that happened, NanGong AoTian would find an opportunity to punish him. After the Profound Spirit Great Reward, Yi Tian decided to quickly return to the sect. After a few years, when this matter faded from the eyes of others, he would come out again.
