As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 698 Reward
Recently, Suhong College has been very lively and many major events have taken place.

The first big event was that Suhong College suddenly announced that it had built an Agricultural College and would soon recruit new students, with an estimated enrollment of fifty.

Before, Suhong Academy only recruited young people with certain talent in cultivation. Ordinary people always thought that they had no chance of entering Suhong Academy. Once this move was made, it immediately caused an uproar in Suling County.

The School of Agriculture is quite special as it specializes in agricultural planting and the cultivation of demon spirits. As long as one has a desire to learn, ordinary people can also enter the academy to study.

However, the Agricultural School built a special house in Qingshan Village. Apart from occasionally studying at Suhong Main College, he probably spent most of his time in Qingshan Village.

The most important agricultural colleges basically have no age limit, even middle-aged people in their thirties or forties can apply for the Lingnong College.

The second major event was the reactivation of the qualification crystal. Suhong College began to recruit new students. Several officials from the Ministry of Rites took the lead and went to every household in Suling County with the tutors of Suhong College, striving not to miss any children with the qualifications for cultivation.

In addition, there are also senior brothers who have returned from Mingxiao College, including the county lord’s brother, who will come to Mingxiao to teach a few classes and share their experiences and skills learned in Mingxiao College.
The third major event was that the county lady came to Suhong College and set up three spirit gathering arrays for the college and expanded the collection of martial arts books in the library. She also gave a reward, and the 19 students and logistics personnel who had gone with her to the power competition were rewarded with a large amount of spirit crystals.

Although no one knew how much these rewards were, the dozen or so young men who received the rewards were all so excited that their faces turned red. Judging from their reactions, it can be seen that the rewards must be very considerable.

"I'm so envious. They've received so many rewards. Now the gap between them and us is even bigger!"

"I don't know if our academy will participate in the next power competition. No, from now on I have to work harder on my training. I must not miss such an opportunity next time!"

The rich rewards have stimulated the enthusiasm of Suhong students and also made more people outside the academy eager to become monks.

……

In the study of the dean of Suhong College.

There was a heavy stone table in the room, with textbooks piled on it, dozens of inkstones, and brushes of various sizes hanging on the pen holder. Behind the desk hung a landscape painting, and on the north wall was a large bookshelf filled with rare books.

The smoke from the incense burner rises, the fragrance of zelkova curls in the air, and the elegant and bookish atmosphere arises spontaneously.

At this time, the owner of the study, Hu Chi, stood respectfully beside the desk, treating the woman in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the desk with great seriousness, acting as a middleman to deliver the reward.

Suhong College entered the top 50, and the Mingxiao organizer gave them a share of nearly 10 million spirit crystals.

Jiang Ran took 5 million out of the 10 million spirit crystals.

As for the remaining 50%, they were converted into cultivation and education resources and invested in Suhong College and Public School in batches. The spirit gathering formations and techniques were part of this 50%.

Another 20% was exchanged for elixirs, magic tools, etc. and rewarded to the instructors and logistics of Suhong College. The last 30% was given as bonuses according to the points earned by the participating students in the power competition.

These young men received at least 5,000 spirit crystals in rewards. Apart from Jiang Ran, the one with the highest points was Hu Lian, who received more than 200,000 spirit crystals alone.

"Thank you for the reward, Lord County. I will practice diligently in the future and live up to the name of the academy." The last young man received the spiritual crystal reward. Hu Chi glanced at the young and tender faces of these young men and couldn't help but feel envious.

He wandered for half his life and wasted too much time. If he had met Jiang Ran at this age, perhaps things would have been different.

Fortunately, it is not too late now. The county lord, who is ranked as the dean of Su Hong and is busy with all kinds of affairs, has not forgotten his own contributions. Today, he rewarded him with three spiritual pills, two servants and a mansion at one time.

It is a shame for him to say that as the dean, his cultivation level is not as good as Hu Lian's. If he had not read a lot of books and was familiar with many martial arts techniques and their practice, he would have retired long ago.

"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure." Jiang Ran raised her eyes, looked at the overly excited teenagers, and reminded them, "Don't tell others how much reward you have received."

The young men were slightly moved. They were not stupid. If it were other people, they might want to advertise how good they were to their subjects in order to attract others to follow them. Although Jiang Ran had a cold face, he was a person who truly cared about them.

"Yes! We remember it!"

Jiang Ran: "Hu Lian and Tu Shi stay, the rest of you leave."

Everyone was confused and didn't know why Jiang Ran called these two people. Even Dean Hu Chi had to leave.

After the footsteps faded away, the room was silent for a moment, and Jiang Ran broke the silence, "It is not easy to enter the top eight of the rookie competition. This thing will be your reward. Use it well."

A delicate glass lamp floated over, and the green flame emitted from the green wick spread a calming atmosphere, as if all anxiety and fatigue were soothed away.

Hu Lian Tu Shi showed a look of surprise and took the soul lamp wick with both hands.

"This is a spiritual growth magic weapon. Currently, it is only at the ordinary level, and can reach the highest level of the heavenly level. The soul wick can help your spiritual power grow steadily and quickly, and your spiritual power can also nourish the soul wick. The two complement each other. You can find more spiritual herbs or spiritual stones that can be swallowed and absorbed to improve the quality of the wick."

After listening to Jiang Ran's description of the soul wick, their minds went blank for a moment and they were unable to react for a while.

It was no different from Jiang Ran directly giving them a heavenly grade magic weapon! And it was a rare magic weapon among the rare ones!

Hu Lian admitted that he was very tempted by such a good thing, but...

"It's so precious... Lord County Master, I was able to enter the top eight entirely because of the cultivation of the academy and you. I have received so many magic tools and spirit crystals as rewards, and I am already very satisfied. This soul lamp wick... I really don't want to accept it without any merit!"

Tu Shi followed closely behind, "Hu Lian is right, I can't afford this."

Being able to stick to one's original intention without being tempted by external things is a rare quality. Jiang Ran felt that she had not misjudged these two people. She tilted her head slightly and thought for a while, "No matter how precious the soul wick is, it is still an external thing. What I lack is people, loyal talents."

He gave one to Bai Mei, Mo Sheng, and Jiang Nancheng respectively, and reserved one for Jiang Xiaowen.

Jiang Ran had the Smoke and Mirage Pendant, which she didn't need, and she still had three soul wicks left. As Jiang Ran herself said, although this thing was rare, it was not as useful as people who were loyal to her. Besides, it was because of Hu Lian and others' hard work that the system rewarded her with seven wicks at one time. Jiang Ran had no reluctance to use them.
