At this mont, in the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace, Gong Luo and others were experiencing mixed feelings, which was understandable. It was truly unprecedented to recruit a Martial Arts genius as outstanding as Jing Yan. Reflecting on it, it still felt unbelievable that such a great thing could fall upon the Qingmu Departnt’s head.
For countless years, the most outstanding mber that the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace could recruit wouldn’t rank very high on the Tianghua List, and the youngest was over a thousand years old.
The rewards received from the Wanbao Hall, distributed among the few hundred mbers of the entire Qingmu Departnt, always seed insufficient. Even the amount of Spirit Grass was far less compared to those more powerful departnts.
Each departnt held its own dicine Field, and the produce from it could be quite financially benefitting. If there were many dicine Fields, the accumulated value of the materials produced could be significant. However, the Luo Jiu Divine Palace strictly controlled these fields, and generally, wouldn’t reward departnts with them.
"Haha, is Director Gong Luo here?"
At this mont, a voice with laughter ca from outside.
Gong Luo and others slightly narrowed their eyes and then gradually walked out from the Council Hall.
"Ah, it’s Elder Ding Ye!" Seeing the visitor was Elder Ding Ye of the Wanbao Hall of the First Palace, Gong Luo hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Director Gong Luo, I must congratulate you." Ding Ye smiled warmly.
He had no private friendship with Gong Luo, but there was no conflict, so his attitude was not overly warm, yet very polite. Especially since the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace was clearly about to make a complete turnaround and rise to prominence. As the Qingmu Departnt ascended, Gong Luo’s status as Director would naturally rise as well.
"What does Elder Ding Ye an by this?" Glimrs of light flashed in Gong Luo’s eyes.
He had already guessed Ding Ye’s purpose, but since the other party hadn’t stated it, he felt it best not to appear overly excited. What if it wasn’t as he guessed, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Several deacons, however, couldn’t contain themselves, their eyes reddened as they looked at Ding Ye.
"Jing Yan from the Qingmu Departnt has stepped up to the Second Palace. Because Jing Yan is very young, not even five hundred years old, this reward isn’t sothing the Wanbao Hall of the First Palace can decide, so the Hall Master reported it imdiately. Now, the decision from above has co."
"Director Gong Luo, I ca here to invite you to the Wanbao Hall to claim the Qingmu Departnt’s reward. So, isn’t this cause for congratulations?" Ding Ye didn’t beat around the bush any longer.
"A reward?"
"Decided so quickly?"
Gong Luo could no longer contain the joy in his heart.
"Thank you, thank you, Elder Ding Ye for your trouble. I will imdiately go to the Wanbao Hall." Gong Luo said repeatedly.
Together with Ding Ye, he left the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace for the Wanbao Hall.
"Elder Ding Ye, do you know how much this reward is?" Gong Luo couldn’t help but ask on the way.
"The specific amount, I’m not clear on. The Hall Master didn’t discuss the details with . But one thing is certain, it’s definitely not a small amount. The Hall Master even said that Director Gong Luo’s Qingmu Departnt is going to prosper." Ding Ye spoke sincerely.
Soon, they arrived at the Qingmu Departnt where Gong Luo t the Gou Xu Palace Master of the Wanbao Hall.
"Congratulations, Director Gong Luo!" Gou Xu Palace Master said with a smile.
"Hall Master, you’re too polite." Gong Luo tried to keep his voice calm.
"Director Gong Luo, regarding the reward for the Qingmu Departnt, the Jidao Palace has already made a decision, and I’ve received the ssage."
"The reward for the Qingmu Departnt includes one million Divine Crystals and one million acres of dicine Fields." Gou Xu said slowly.
Gong Luo’s elderly face turned bright red. A million Divine Crystals are not a lot; for an individual, it would be plenty, but for the few hundred mbers of the Qingmu Departnt, it would only be a few thousand first-level Divine Crystals each. However, those one million acres of dicine Fields are certainly not to be underestimated. Although the short-term output couldn’t reach a million first-level Divine Crystals, these fields could continuously produce. Even if in a year they yield a hundred thousand first-level Divine Crystals worth of Spirit Grass, in ten years, that would be a million first-level Divine Crystals.
Before Gong Luo could fully absorb this reward, Gou Xu said again, "The third reward, is a Divine Spring Hall. Important figures from the Jidao Palace should arrive shortly to build a new Divine Spring Hall at the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace."
Boom!
Gong Luo’s whole spirit was slightly shaken.
A Divine Spring Hall, indeed a Divine Spring Hall! Even though Gong Luo and others had hoped for a reward of a Divine Spring Hall, it was filled with uncertain factors. Even if the Jidao Palace’s significant figures decided not to reward a Divine Spring Hall to the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace, what could they say?
Now, receiving this news, the suspended stone in their hearts could finally drop.
With an additional Divine Spring Hall, the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace would have two Divine Spring Halls, plus the increased one million acres of dicine Fields, the appeal when recruiting new mbers in the future would definitely not be inferior to that of the Truth Departnt, etc.
"This is wonderful!" Gong Luo said in a trembling voice.
"Director Gong Luo, here are a million Divine Crystals, please check them. As for the one million acres of dicine Fields, I will order to make arrangents promptly and hand them over to the Qingmu Departnt." Gou Xu took out a Suru Ring and handed it to Gong Luo.
Gong Luo hurriedly accepted it and put it away directly. Check it? There was no need at all.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Gou Xu Palace Master, Gong Luo bid farewell.
The Qingmu Departnt is going to prosper!
...
Inside the Second Palace!
"Brother Jing Yan, this is our Qingmu Departnt of the Second Palace!" Director Cao Lin of the Qingmu Departnt of the Second Palace, together with Jing Yan, arrived outside the Green Wood Bureau Manor.
Here, the structure was not much different from that of the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace.
Entering the Qingmu Departnt of the Second Palace, Director Cao Lin imdiately gathered the deacons to introduce them to Jing Yan. These people were all very polite to Jing Yan, for they already knew about his situation.
After introductions, they began to discuss rewards.
Jing Yan joining the Qingmu Departnt of the Second Palace naturally also rited additional rewards. It was clear that Director Cao Lin had already discussed it with the deacons.
He said directly to Jing Yan, "Brother Jing Yan, to be frank, our Qingmu Departnt of the Second Palace and the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace are in similar straights, both quite poor. Therefore, the reward is rather modest. Our Qingmu Departnt can offer you a reward of fifty thousand first-level Divine Crystals. It’s not much, but you can also train in the Divine Spring Hall for three months."
The only notable offering was the training ti in the Divine Spring Hall. Cao Lin knew that the Qingmu Departnt of the First Palace had already given Jing Yan three months of training ti in the Divine Spring Hall, so he decided to do the sa.
"Thank you, Director, and thank you to all the deacons." Jing Yan had no dissatisfaction regarding the reward.
Seeing Jing Yan seemingly not dissatisfied with the reward, Cao Lin and others breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"However, I want to trouble Director Cao Lin with one matter," Jing Yan said, changing his tone.
