Volume 1 Outer Sect Disciple Chapter 77 Reward, Yuan Qi Stone
The achievements of ancient superhumans were indeed too brutal.
Fifty-four Sand Snake Horns of the Sixth Layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, forty Sand Snake Horns of the Seventh Layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, twelve Sand Snake Horns of the Eighth Layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, and one Sand Snake Horn of the Ninth Layer of the Post-Heaven Realm.
What an astonishing number!
How did Gu Chao do it?
The total score of the tenth mountain villa is: 68 sand snake horns at the sixth level of the post-heavenly realm, 44 sand snake horns at the seventh level of the post-heavenly realm, 13 sand snake horns at the eighth level of the post-heavenly realm, and one sand snake horn at the ninth level of the post-heavenly realm.
Compared with each other, the tenth mountain villa's performance is almost the same as that of the ninth mountain villa, or slightly inferior.
However, the Ninth Mountain Villa was two years earlier than the Tenth Mountain Villa in entering the door.
Two years of food wasn't eaten for nothing, two years of work wasn't practiced for nothing. In this situation, the 9th Mountain Villa's achievement was only slightly better than the 10th Mountain Villa, just a tiny bit. So in the end, who is the one losing face? Isn't that very obvious? The expression on West Gate Elder's face was somewhat gloomy, he bellowed: "Zhuang Feihe, Lin Yi, Hong Qian, what are you all eating?"
The educational style of the elderly Ximen is like this.
Zhuang Feihe, Lin Yi, and Hong Qian had long been accustomed to Xi Men's educational style, so they just shrugged their shoulders and pretended to be very upset. Of course, these few people couldn't help but scold Gu Chao in their hearts - where did he come up with such an exaggerated achievement? Zhuang Feihe, Lin Yi, and others were also masters, but they couldn't figure out Gu Chao's method at all.
"Hahaha, hahaha." Nan Gongyuan laughed, extremely pleased with himself. How could he not be? He had just launched a massive counterattack out of nowhere. If he didn't mock his old opponent Ximen now, when would he? Nan Gongyuan continued to laugh: "Ximen, actually the outer disciples under you, like Zhuang Feihe and Lin Yi, have performed quite well... but..." His tone was clearly implying that his own outer disciples were even more impressive.
Xi Men was worried and depressed, but no matter how worried he was, there was nothing he could do. He had lost to Nan Gong Yuan this time, what could he do?
Life is sometimes like this, touching and thought-provoking.
At this moment, Zhuang Feihe's eyes were filled with an even stronger will to fight.
Lin Yi's eyes were filled with an even stronger will to fight.
Murong Ying's eyes were filled with an even stronger will to fight.
That's right, in this campaign to exterminate the sand snakes, Gu Chao indeed won a great victory.
But the real big battle for outer disciples is the Outer Disciple Great Competition held every two years, which determines whether they can become inner disciples.
This can no longer be considered a warm-up match.
It was just Gu Chao who won a warm-up match.
We'll compare later.
……
Nangong Yuan's smile remained, only transitioning from a loud laugh to a gentle smile. Although it was a smile, the self-satisfaction within couldn't be concealed.
Ximen Changlei let out a helpless sigh, he was indeed very helpless at this moment.
Liu Daichuan, the helmsman, said: "Next, we will award the rewards for this time. This time, on top of Mount Tai, a total of twenty lower-grade yuanqi stones were awarded as rewards. You will divide these spirit stones according to your merits." Among warriors, there are hard currencies like silver and gold, and another hard currency is this yuanqi stone.
A warrior's training is about grasping the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
All kinds of medicinal materials are also precious after absorbing the primary energy of heaven and earth.
Living things can absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, non-living things cannot absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, this has almost become a rule.
But there is an exception to everything.
Yuanqi stone is just such an exception.
Primordial Stone is a very strange stone that can only be formed after being buried underground for more than 500 years, and it contains the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Once used up, it will shatter completely and cannot be used again.
This yuanqi stone is very beneficial for a warrior's cultivation, so it has become a hard currency.
The yuanqi stone is also divided into several levels, namely: lower-level yuanqi stone, middle-level yuanqi stone, and upper-level yuanqi stone. The exchange ratio between the next level and the previous level is 1:1000, that is, 1000 pieces of lower-level yuanqi stone can be exchanged for one piece of middle-level yuanqi stone, and 1000 pieces of middle-level yuanqi stone can be exchanged for one piece of upper-level yuanqi stone.
Each of these first-class yuanqi stones differs greatly in terms of quality and quantity.
Of course, even if it's a lower-grade Yuanqi stone, it's still quite valuable.
Roughly two thousand two silver coins are equivalent to one inferior yuanqi stone.
Gǔ Chāo was indeed interested, Gǔ Chāo had heard of Yuán Qì Shí before, but Yuán Qì Shí was too precious and he had never seen it, so now he just wanted to take a look out of curiosity, wondering what Yuán Qì Shí looked like. The other outer door disciples had already seen and heard about Yuán Qì Shí, their knowledge was broader than Gǔ Chāo's, after all these outer door disciples were from martial arts families, rarely were there ordinary people like Gǔ Chāo. However, despite the different backgrounds, those from martial arts families also knew that Yuán Qì Shí was extremely precious, and this time they unexpectedly had a chance to obtain Yuán Qì Shí, everyone couldn't help but feel anticipation.
Of course, there are only twenty yuanqi stones in total, and there are twenty-four outer disciples present, so how to divide them is the problem.
According to the distribution based on work done, many people can only get half of it, so how will it be resolved in the end?
For a while, many people were very nervous.
The yuanqi stone was taken out.
Yuè qì shí, this is a smooth, square, transparent crystal stone, cut to be extremely flat, each one of the same size and weight, with the contained heavenly energy basically consistent.
Liu Daichuan, the helmsman, said: "The first to achieve the greatest merit is Gu Chao. According to your merits, you have obtained a total of six lower-grade yuanqi stones." Gu Chao's achievements were roughly one-third more than that, but also had to take care of others on this matter, and could not give all the lower-grade yuanqi stones to Gu Chao alone, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among others. Therefore, six lower-grade yuanqi stones were awarded to Gu Chao.
In this way, Gu Chao alone obtained six lower-grade Yuanqi stones, while the other twenty-three people shared the remaining fourteen Yuanqi stones.
Gu Chao didn't have any dissatisfaction with this either. These six yuanqi stones felt warm to the touch, and seemed to have a lively energy jumping around inside them.
Others also divided the yuanqi stone, with more like Lin Yi and Zhuang Feihe getting one and a half yuanqi stones, while fewer only got half a yuanqi stone. Liu Ya basically had no achievements, but was still taken care of in the end, and she also got half a yuanqi stone. Anyway, everyone was happy and no one was left empty-handed.
……
After dividing up the yuanqi stones, Gu Chao returned to his temporary residence.
After returning to this wing room, Gu Chao took out the six yuanqi stones he had obtained.
Gu Chao had just learned a new technique, which was taught by Nan Gong Yuan. The technique itself was quite simple and was called the "Xyuan Jue". As its name suggests, it was a technique for absorbing the yuan energy from within the yuan energy stones. In reality, it was also very simple - as long as one's palm was stuck to the yuan energy stone, and their internal strength was transformed into a whirlpool-like shape, they could absorb the yuan energy from within the stone.
Gǔ Chāo began to try the yuanqi absorption technique, placing his palm against a piece of yuanqi stone. His spiritual energy formed a whirlpool shape, and with a loud "hong" sound, strands of yuanqi were absorbed from the stone into his body. The stone shattered into pieces after being used up, and a large amount of internal energy surged into Gǔ Chāo's meridians. The internal energy accumulated in his meridians, but it was clear that one piece of yuanqi stone would not be enough to raise Gǔ Chāo's level.
Then the second piece of yuanqi stone, once again activated the Xī Yuán Jue, and the law power transformed into a whirlpool shape.
The third piece of Yuanqi stone...
The fourth piece of yuanqi stone...
At the fourth piece of yuanqi stone, the surging pulse finally accumulated enough internal energy to fill the collaterals to the brim, and with a loud rumble.
Finally, the inner strength broke through a new level and rushed into the realm of Qi Gong.
That is to say, Gu Chao's internal strength has reached the level of Hou Tian Jing's eighth layer, Jue Mai.
However, after entering the eighth layer of the acquired realm, the difficulty will increase significantly.
Because after tomorrow's boundary seven layers and before, whether it is a rush pulse or a belt pulse, they are actually one meridian.
Later, the two meridians that need to be impacted in the eighth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm are the Yin Kui Meridian and the Yang Kui Meridian. Only after impacting these two meridians can one reach the ninth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm.
But apparently, there's no need to rush either.
Cultivation is not a one-day or one-night thing. Now that I've reached the eighth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm, I can properly enjoy the thrill of my internal energy reaching the eighth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm.
