Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 226 Reward (August's debt has been paid off)
Because of Kuang Liuting's words, Sect Leader Kang stayed in Xuanwei City for some more days. During this time, Sima Fei also brought a medical officer to examine his injuries and prescribe medicine.

It was not until ten days had passed that a close attendant brought down eight words written by Kuang Liuting himself as a reward.

"If you have a little talent and courage, you can work hard."

Objectively speaking, these eight words are not good words. At most, they can be described as neither praise nor criticism.

Fortunately, Kang Dabao didn't care about these things at all. Lord Kuang Liuting was a respectable man and he would not just give Master Kang something that was neither edible nor usable.

It was today, when Nan'anbo said those eight words, that Fei Sima appeared in front of the head of Kangda for the first time since his last trial.

He held a long imperial edict and spoke a series of four-six parallel prose in an eloquent manner. Finally, he read out the details of the reward that Kang Dabao was most interested in:

"One foundation-building pill, one foundation-building spiritual object of each of the five elements, three bottles of Qingmou treasure liquid; one second-level spiritual tool, ten first-level magic tools; ten volumes of Hong-level exercises, with detailed explanations and annotations, which can be cultivated to the Golden Elixir realm. There are also 10,000 spiritual stones and a first-level spiritual mine in Pingrong County."

Fei Nan'an sighed as he looked at the somewhat shocked Kang Dabao, rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to the latter, and continued, "My Lord has instructed me to choose a top-grade foundation-building pill for you. Ordinary foundation-building pills only increase the probability by about 30%, while top-grade ones can increase it to 40%.

Five Elements Foundation Building Spiritual Items, and the best ones like Liuhe Zhengyang Dates are specially selected for your family. You can choose any second-level spiritual tools, middle and lower-level tools, and any magic tools. Hongjie Gongfa Zhou Hou personally selected ten good ones for your family. If you want to change them after reading them, you can.

I will exchange all 10,000 spiritual stones for medium-quality spiritual stones. You can pick any spiritual mine in Pingrong County. If it has an owner, ask the owner to move it to another place."

After saying this, Fei Sima looked at Master Kang meaningfully and said softly, "You should know what this means, right?"

"Uncle, your kindness is great, and I will remember it forever." Kang Dabao immediately bowed and said respectfully.

"Okay, I'll assume you understand." Fei Sima shook his head and said nothing more, "Later, Tie Xishui will take you to the state treasury to get these things. He is now appointed by the Earl as the treasurer. I heard that you two had some friendship in the past, so don't be unfamiliar with him."

"Yes," Kang Dabao responded seriously. Fei Sima opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the words rolled back to his throat. In the end, he held them back.

"Ahem," after a dry cough, Sima Fei spoke again, "Luo Heng is dead. Lord Bo wants you to be the magistrate of Pingrong County. From now on, the county and Chongming Market will be under your jurisdiction. The appointment will be made soon. If Deng Baichuan doesn't get along well with you, you can talk to Gun Shilu and ask him to be transferred back and given a different job."

"Yes, I understand." Kang Dabao knew that he had no right to choose the position, so he just nodded his head and agreed.

"Well, be careful on your way back. If anything happens, you can ask Shu He to tell you." After saying this, Sima Fei stepped on the auspicious cloud magic weapon and went to Sima Mansion without waiting for Kang Dabao to react.

When Kang Dabao heard Fei Sima Yan talking about Fei Shuhe, he remembered the scene when she brought Nanny Sun to see him some time ago.

Master Kang had many acquaintances in the provincial court, but during this period, apart from his brother Qin Sufu, the only one who came to see him was his wife Fei Shuhe.

The couple was at a loss as usual. They sat there two feet apart for fifteen minutes without uttering two complete sentences.

After Fei Sima left, Tie Xishui came soon. Seeing Kang Dabao smiling, he bowed and said with a smile: "Congratulations, my dear brother. You are praised by the Lord again and your name will be known all over the state!"

"Thank you for your praise, senior. I heard that you were promoted to the position of treasurer and are trusted by Lord Earl. It is I who should congratulate you." Master Kang said immediately.

"Brothers, you and I should stop flattering each other. Come, let's go to the treasury first." Tie Xishui smiled faintly and led Kang Dabao to the provincial government treasury.

"Gun Jia Sima has just returned from suppressing the rebellion, and the treasury is a little messy. If you have trouble finding something useful, just tell me directly. The first-level items are all here, and the second-level items are on the second floor. Keep this token, show it to the silver puppet guarding the stairs, and then you can go up.

But my dear brother, you must remember that after going up to the second floor, you only have three hours to choose spiritual weapons and Hong-level skills. If you exceed the time limit, the puppet will have to help you choose randomly.

There are annotations on the shelves for all kinds of spiritual objects. You can read them in detail by pouring spiritual power into the red wooden plaques below. After you have made your selection, come to me.

"My uncle has already asked someone to pick out the three items, the Foundation Building Pill, the Five Elements Foundation Building Spiritual Items, and the Eye Clearing Liquid, and put them with me. You can just take them away when you leave the warehouse."

Kang Dabao thanked him gratefully, and Tie Xishui clasped his hands and left.

It is said that the provincial government has not yet figured out how many families in Yunjiao Province have been instigated by the Liangyi Sect to rebel, but Master Kang knows that the number must be considerable just by looking at the shelves filled with magical instruments.

You have to know that this is the provincial government's treasury. How could ordinary magical instruments possibly get in?

Most of the items on the shelves are first-grade, top-quality magic weapons. Occasionally there are a few first-grade, superior-quality magic weapons, but they are also outstanding works of the same grade, and are fortunate enough to be listed among them.

Of course, there are more than just magic weapons on the first floor, such as wild-level skills, heavenly thunder seeds, puppets, formation plates, elixirs, and spiritual beasts. Everything is available.

However, the decree issued by the Earl of Nan'an only rewarded Master Kang with a magical weapon, and as for the other good things, he could only covet them.

The magical weapons of various shapes almost made Master Kang Da dizzy. There were at least a thousand magical weapons here, and each of them had a thousand-word detailed explanation written by an advanced weapon refiner. It didn't take Kang Dabao much effort to choose.

However, he was still thinking about things at home at this time, and was eager to go home. After quickly looking through a few items, he found that they were all top-quality items. So he simply picked up four each of offensive and defensive magic weapons, and two top-quality magic weapons to assist in his cultivation.

Just as he was about to leave the first floor, Kang Dabao saw an object on a shelf where spiritual objects were placed and immediately exclaimed.

"Yujue, it turns out there is one here too!"

After Master Kang obtained the two jade beads, he made great progress in his study of the Dharma and enlightenment. He thought he had collected all the jade beads, but he didn't expect that there was still one piece here.

Kang Dabao suppressed his excitement, walked to the shelf, and checked the detailed instructions on the wooden sign underneath.

The detailed description of this jade pendant is very different from that of other magical instruments and spiritual objects. Even the spiritual appraisers of Lianzhou Court could not find out the magical use of this jade pendant. They just dismissed it with eight simple words: "The material is not bad, but the function is unknown."

If it could be exchanged, Kang Dabao would definitely take out the spiritual weapon and magic weapon promised to him in exchange for the jade pendant without a second thought.

However, Kuang Liuting did not give Master Kang the opportunity to choose a spiritual object this time, so no matter how greedy he was, he had to give up.

Just two jade beads could provide him with such great help in his cultivation. If he could collect another one, then...
Master Kang began to daydream, and even his excitement about going upstairs to choose spiritual weapons and skills faded a lot.

Master Kang was thinking about when he could come again. He walked to the end of the first floor and flashed the token. The stone eyes of the four or five-foot-tall silver puppet lit up, and then it moved away, revealing the wooden ladder behind it.

Kang Dabao went up to the second floor along the wooden stairs. Perhaps because there were not many second-level fine items among the foundation-building forces destroyed by Gun Jia Sima Ping, the second floor was much more spacious than the first floor of the same area.

Not only are the spiritual weapon shelves emptier, but their quality has also declined in comparison.

But this is not bad. You know, even for a big sect like Zifeng Valley that has been building its foundation for many years, Shen Ang, as the sect leader, has to treat that low-grade spiritual weapon flying sword as the sect's treasure.

Chongming Sect doesn't even have a true cultivator who has established his foundation, but Kang Dabao can bring back a spiritual weapon. Just telling others about this kind of treatment is enough to make most of the forces in Yunjiaozhou envious.

As for which spiritual weapon to choose, Kang Dabao had an idea as soon as he went upstairs.

He practiced the lower-grade Hong-level technique "Qingmu Baoguang Yin", and his spiritual power was much more abundant than that of the same level. Later, with the help of Yujue, he worked out the "Changxi Jue".

Although he felt that his cultivation was not high, his spiritual power was abundant enough to be comparable to those at the peak of Qi training, or even those who were just starting out in foundation building with some weak skills.

After Master Kang finishes refining these three bottles of Clear Eyes Liquid, the Golden Eyes that Break Delusion will be able to reach a higher level.

If his cultivation is further improved to the peak of Qi training, Kang Dabao's strength will be quite terrifying among Qi training cultivators. At least he can compete with Tie Xishui who mastered spiritual weapons back then.

In this way, Master Kang seemed to be strong in attack but weak in defense when it came to fighting.

Although the grade of that small beast-shaped tripod was not low, it had been refined into someone's innate magic weapon and could not exert its full power.

Therefore, the first choice for Master Kang is to choose a defensive spiritual weapon, and the second choice is to choose a spiritual weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities. If there is still no suitable one, then he can choose an offensive spiritual weapon.

However, the grade of this spiritual weapon cannot be too high, it can only be lower-middle grade of the second grade at best.

If he chose a top-grade spiritual weapon, the spiritual power of Sect Leader Kang, which was relatively abundant among the Qi-cultivating cultivators, would probably be drained away in one fell swoop.

After much selection, a large black banner was chosen by the head of Kangda at a glance. This item is called "Moyuan Banner", a second-level middle-grade spiritual weapon.

The flag is made of the skin of the second-grade top-quality spiritual beast, the mountain boar. The flagpole is forged from two second-grade medium-quality spiritual minerals, wind-cold iron and glass steel, and is engraved with eleven layers of secret spiritual patterns.

This Mo Yuan flag has both offensive and defensive capabilities and is extremely powerful.

The head of the flagpole had been soaked in the poison glands of a third-grade lower-grade cloud python by the weapon master for some years, and it still had the effect of a poisonous attack.

Kang Dabao was quite satisfied. His fighting methods were originally simple, and now choosing a Mo Yuan flag would have many benefits, which was exactly what he wanted.

After choosing the spiritual weapon, Master Kang moved to the martial arts area, where the martial arts selected for him by Kuang Liuting were neatly arranged.

After Master Kang looked at them one by one, he took them all away.

The vision of this master is probably unmatched in the entire Yunjiao Province. How could Kang Dabao, a junior student, see any mistakes in the martial arts he carefully selected?

Sect Leader Kang was really worried about his small, broken sect, so even though there was still time and this place was so difficult to enter, Kang Dabao had no intention of staying.

He hurried downstairs, only looking back at the jade pendant when passing by. Then he took the selected spiritual object and came to Tiexishui to register.

Tie Xishui was having a lively conversation with a tall and strong monk at this time. When the latter saw Kang Dabao coming out, he stopped talking and greeted him.

"Master Kang, how are you?"

"Xu Xianzun, your elegance remains the same."

When Xu Yingshi met Kang Dabao this time, he did not show any resentment on his face. He just greeted the latter calmly, took the token returned by Kang Dabao from Tiexishui, and then entered the provincial government treasury.

"County Magistrate Xu made great contributions in breaking the formation this time. He led nearly a hundred cultivators from Jin County to surround and kill a seriously injured foundation-building cultivator from Ruijin Sect. Lord Bo also rewarded him to come to the treasury to select spiritual objects. Of course, the quantity and quality cannot be compared with that of my brother."

After Xu Yingshi left, Tie Xishui explained to Kang Dabao.

Master Kang knew that Xu Yingshi was driven out of Chongming Market by the fake Sima Gun and ran to Jin County, the poorest county, to be the county magistrate. He must have been unhappy about it.

Although Kang Dabao himself did not intervene in this matter, after Xu Yingshi left, the benefits of the patrol team were actually taken by Kang Dazhang.

Based on what Master Kang knew about Xu Yingshi in the past, he really couldn't be considered to have a big temper. He had probably taken his anger out on himself and was holding a grudge against him.

But people always change. After being tempered over the years, Xu Yingshi is no longer as straightforward as before.

Even though he met the head of Kangda face to face today, he was able to force a smile, which was unimaginable for Xu Yingshi in the past.

After all, he was born into a prominent family. Although he was a side branch, he always thought that he was superior to others. That's why he would not bother to flatter and curry favor with a country bumpkin like the head of the Kang family.

As if he had seen the fear flashing in the eyes of Sect Leader Kang, Tie Xishui reminded him again, “I heard that Master Bo thought of his meritorious service and will transfer him back to the state court soon.

This time, among the things that Master Bo gave him, there is also a spiritual item suitable for building his foundation. I think that County Master Xu has a strong foundation, so the probability of success is probably not low. My dear brother, I am afraid you need to be more careful. "

"Senior, you are too polite. I am a junior and a minister in the same palace as Lord Xu, and we have always been close." Master Kang now spoke without hesitation and said things that were against his will.

After hearing this, Tie Xishui just smiled and said nothing. He packed all of Master Kang's belongings into a spirit box and sent it out as a gift. At this time, a team of Zhou Tingya soldiers had lined up at the door.

This team of soldiers was sent by Sima Fei. Since Sect Leader Kang got so many good things, there's no guarantee that some of the Foundation Establishment Warriors, who have gone crazy with poverty, would have some evil thoughts.

If no one is sent to escort him, Kang Dabao's life and spiritual objects will be in danger, and the Earl of Nan'an will lose face.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who led the team wore bright armor and looked very imposing. Kang Dabao had never seen him before, so he just greeted him cautiously.

The foundation-building master who led the team also had no intention of greeting Master Kang. He simply exchanged names and accepted a bow from Master Kang. Then everyone boarded a second-order spirit boat with a dragon spirit pattern printed on it and sailed towards Chongming Sect.

Kang Dabao looked at the treasury loft gradually receding behind him, and his heart felt extremely relaxed.

"I'm back, finally back." No matter how good a nest is, it's not as good as your own doghouse.
