Chapter 485

Of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators who died in battle, except for the Foundation Establishment cultivator from a loose cultivator background who still needed to find his descendants, the family descendants of the other four were all in Jin Shan Market now, and Song Qingming also immediately gave them the consolation they deserved according to the situation.

According to the past rules, the Xiaoyao Sect Merit Pavilion would choose to compensate the family descendants of such family Foundation Establishment cultivators who died for the sect with merits that could be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, if they wanted to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill directly at the Merit Pavilion, besides these merits, they still needed to take out a little spirit stones.

And because there were too many quotas for compensation in the Merit Pavilion after the great battle, these cultivation families could not cash in the spirit items immediately. When exactly they could get the Foundation Establishment Pill still had to wait for the detailed arrangement of the Merit Pavilion after the war.

Compared to those Foundation Establishment cultivators, the consolation received by the Qi Refining cultivators who died in battle was much less. According to the specific level of cultivation, generally, for each cultivator who died in battle, their family could only receive about one hundred spirit stones as consolation.

After rewarding all the cultivators in Jin Shan Market for their merit, Wu Wenhai and the other three also came to the great hall to bid farewell to Song Qingming. Now that the spirit beast army had been repelled here at Jin Shan Market, there was no war for the time being, and they had also been recuperating in the market for a period of time.

Just now, Wu Wenhai received the sect's edict again. The situation over in Gao Yun County was somewhat tight, so he let the three of them take the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" to support first. Song Qingming naturally did not go to retain them, but asked people to take a few spirit items to reward the three of them, which could be considered as gratitude for their support of Jin Shan Market this time.

Seeing this, Wu Wenhai and the other three were slightly polite before accepting Song Qingming's intention. Although they were ordered by the sect to come to Jin Shan Market to support Song Qingming this time, they did indeed make great contributions on the battlefield, so it was not considered undeserved.

After sending Wu Wenhai and the other three away, Song Qingming had just returned to his cave when he ran into Song Yuanli, who came to report the family's consolation situation to him.

In the great battle with spirit beasts for more than half a year, the Song family also sacrificed and lost many clansmen. Among the more than eighty cultivators who came to the front line to participate in the great battle, more than ten fell on the battlefield. In addition, there were more than twenty people who were slightly or seriously injured and had returned to the family to recuperate, including Song Yuanfang, a Foundation Establishment elder who was very important to the family.

Among the cultivators sacrificed by the Song family, most were of the Xin and Yuan generations. Because not many of the new generation of "Chang" generation cultivators came to the battlefield, only a few older ones came. They were also relatively lucky. Except for one who accidentally suffered a slight injury, they all persisted to the end unscathed.

Not including the materials on the third-tier spirit beast, the White Lion Spirit King, the total value of the spirit beast materials harvested in this battle at Jin Shan Market already exceeded 100,000 spirit stones. Excluding those used for rewards and consolation, more than half of the remaining spirit beast materials were placed in the treasury of Jin Shan Market.

Hearing Song Yuanli mention the reward, Song Qingming immediately understood the reason in his heart. However, the spirit beast turmoil was far from over, and Song Qingming really didn't have much heart to think about this matter.

After Song Yuanli nodded and responded, he continued: "Seventh Great Uncle, in this spirit beast turmoil, our law enforcement team also discovered many outstanding people in the family. Do you think the family should distribute some rewards to them to encourage other clansmen?"

The Song family made the greatest contribution in this battle and also sacrificed many cultivators, so naturally, they were allocated many spirit item rewards. Seeing that the family got so many spirit items at once, naturally, many clansmen began to lose their patience.

According to the reply given to Song Qingming by the Xiaoyao Sect Merit Pavilion not long ago, all the spirit beast materials captured in Jin Shan Market and the merit rewards for participating cultivators were arranged and handled by Song Qingming himself, giving him great autonomous distribution power after the war.

"Yuanli, send a letter to Mount Funiu later. All the relics and consolation spirit items of the clansmen who died in battle this time should be stored in the family's Hidden Gold Pavilion first. After going back, verify them at the Elder Council before distributing them to their descendants. If there are no direct descendants with spirit roots, let the Hidden Gold Pavilion record them first, and make arrangements after their descendants appear to have people who ascend to immortality in the future."

"What should be rewarded should naturally be rewarded, but there is no need to be too anxious about this matter now. I have already asked Qingyu to send the spirit beast materials allocated to the family back to Mount Funiu first. You can discuss a list with Qingyu later. After the war stabilizes, the family will announce this matter uniformly."

Although the Song family had been promoted to a Jin Dan family, the cultivators in the family had only developed to more than one hundred people after nearly a hundred years of rapid development. Losing more than ten backbone cultivators who could go to the battlefield at once truly made Song Qingming, the patriarch, feel very distressed in his heart.

Looking at the familiar names appearing on the list of those who died in battle, Song Qingming remained silent for a long time before slowly putting it down.

This special arrangement by the Xiaoyao Sect was clearly to give Song Qingming and the Song family a small opportunity to get rich. Song Qingming naturally did not be polite to the sect about this. The reward spirit items and merits arranged for his own family on the surface were naturally much more than other cultivation families.

The Song family made the greatest contribution in this battle and also sacrificed many cultivators, so it was normal to get more rewards. The Xiaoyao Sect Merit Pavilion had already acquiesced to this point, and naturally, others did not dare to have any opinions.

In addition, Song Qingming also asked Song Qingyu and the others to go to the market treasury to pick some spirit beast materials that were more useful to the Song family and quietly send them back to Mount Funiu. Currently, all affairs in Jin Shan Market were managed by Song Qingming. If he, the Jin Dan ancestor, wanted to allocate some spirit items, naturally no one dared to ask.

More than ten days later, two large flying boats painted with the Xiaoyao Sect flag suddenly appeared over Jin Shan Market. It was the Merit Pavilion of the sect that specifically sent them to the front line to transport supplies.

Every time after the spirit beast turmoil, all captured spirit items, except for being used for consolation and rewards on the spot, were all to be transported back to the sect's Merit Pavilion to compensate for the merits distributed by the sect. After learning that Jin Shan Market had defeated the spirit beast army, the Merit Pavilion soon sent large flying boats to Jin Shan Market to load these spirit beast materials.

With the help of the Jin Shan Market law enforcement team cultivators, the Xiaoyao Sect people soon moved the remaining spirit beast materials in the market treasury onto the large flying boats sent by the Merit Pavilion.

Seeing the numerous spirit beast materials transported from Jin Shan Market and the merit account books reported, the Xiaoyao Sect Merit Pavilion cultivators who came to transport these spirit items were also slightly surprised by the fruitful results achieved by Jin Shan Market in this battle.

Most of the merits paid out by the sect's Merit Pavilion still had to be supplemented by these spirit beast materials. However, in the past, every spirit beast turmoil, the merits paid out by the Merit Pavilion were generally greater than the harvest obtained in the great battle.

Like the situation at Jin Shan Market where a great battle was fought, not only was the sect's merit expenditure leveled, but many spirit beast materials could also be left over, which was something the sect's Merit Pavilion had not encountered for many years.

After watching the flying boats carrying spirit items from the Merit Pavilion leave, Song Qingming, who was in Jin Shan Market, had not been free for long before he soon received an edict from the Xiaoyao Sect, asking him to go to the sect to discuss matters.

Seeing this sect edict just received in his hand, Song Qingming was also prepared in his heart. Although Jin Shan Market had calmed down now, other important battlefields in Wei Guo were still fighting fiercely with spirit beasts, and the Xiaoyao Sect would sooner or later summon him to support.

After the spirit beast turmoil, although Song Qingming had never left Jin Shan Market, he had always had some understanding of the situation on other battlefields, so he naturally knew that the situation at Guiyun Market was already very critical.

Song Qingming thought to himself: "When Wu Wenhai and the others left more than ten days ago, the Xiaoyao Sect didn't summon me by the way. It wasn't until nearly a month after the Jin Shan Market great battle ended that they sent me an edict. I'm afraid they were already specifically taking care of me."

Mount Guyang, inside Li Mufeng's cave.

Li Mufeng, who had paced several times in the cave, suddenly turned around and looked at Yao Ganshu, who had been waiting for a reply, and said slowly: "Ganshu, I know your thoughts, but I still hope you will consider it carefully again, and don't easily fail your own Dao path that you have cultivated for hundreds of years."

Facing Li Mufeng's admonition, Yao Ganshu did not hesitate and replied directly: "Uncle, rest assured, I have also pondered countless times over the past month or so, and I have already made a decision in my heart."

"Even if I cannot form a Nascent Soul, there will still be Junior Sister Bai who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the sect in the future. Uncle, please rest assured. This time, it was not easy for us to wait for this good opportunity. Once the sect misses it, it will inevitably suffer greater losses. At that time, I don't know how many sect disciples will die on the battlefield."

"I know these too, but letting me watch you completely give up your Dao path, I still find it difficult to convince myself." After Li Mufeng finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh slightly again.

"Uncle, since the spirit beast turmoil, this disciple can only sit in Mount Guyang every day. My heart as a sect master has truly been very uncomfortable. Now that the sect is in trouble, if I, the sect master, don't stand out, who can we count on to stand out if the sect encounters other changes in the future?"

"This disciple has been admitted to Mount Guyang since childhood, and thanks to the sect's careful support for hundreds of years, I have today's cultivation. My personal Dao path has long been tied to the sect's destiny. Being able to repay the sect with my body is also the greatest wish in my heart. I hope Uncle can fulfill this disciple's wish."

After Li Mufeng looked at Yao Ganshu with a heavy look for a long time, he slowly turned his back, moved his magic power slightly, and handed a golden brocade box to Yao Ganshu's hand.

"Although the Deer Soul Pill can temporarily help you suppress the injury in your body, it is estimated that it can only have an effect for at most two hours after taking it. You must remember, do not force yourself."

"Thank you, Uncle!" After carefully putting away the golden brocade box in his hand, Yao Ganshu bowed slightly and turned to leave Li Mufeng's cave.
