The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 157 Feng Tianjue's Shrewdness
Because a red cloth obscured their view, not only were Feng Ling and his two companions very curious about the mysterious reward, but even the unrelated core disciples and elders were secretly waiting anxiously.

This grand scene was subtly exciting...

The entire audience was watching, but the inside agonized!
"Thanks to the assistance of the three core disciples, otherwise, our Jade Purity Sect would not know when we would have been able to find and eliminate this scourge!"

Feng Tianjue first expressed his gratitude, although he was speaking to the three of them, his eyes remained fixed on the man in purple.

In Feng Tianjue's mind, when it comes to the others, they all benefited from Feng Ling's influence.

“A token… I’ve got it!” Upon seeing the elder’s token at the waist of the woman in green, Feng Tianjue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and couldn’t help but have a little scheme in mind.

At that moment, Feng Tianjue's lips curled up, and he raised his right hand to slowly lift the red cloth...

The hall was completely silent. Everyone subconsciously held their breath, anxiously waiting for the tray to be unveiled. They had a premonition that this prize was definitely not ordinary.

"Hiss~!" The moment the red cloth was lifted, a blinding light burst forth, and everyone in the prince was terrified. They instinctively covered their eyes and were momentarily blinded for a few seconds.

Immediately afterward, the intense light receded rapidly, and everyone quickly looked towards the left hand of the man in the purple-gold crown. There, on the tray, were three smooth, dark stones placed side by side, reflecting a deep light. If anyone lingered on them for a while, they could faintly sense a captivating power emanating from them!

"The Demon Stone!" A collective exclamation of excitement rang out. Not only the core disciples, but also many elders present were quite flustered, including the dueling elder Liu Yidao and the grand elder Long Yuzhong!

"So, this is the Demon Stone!? Could it be that that thing is also...!?"

With his eyes fixed on the three jet-black crystals, the purple-robed man secretly compared them in his mind, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Ghost Stones are one of the magical products of the Ghost Spirit Continent. They can be used by legendary Ghost Spirit Masters to refine their bodies and advance their cultivation. Given the scarcity of Ghost Stone resources and the difficulty in obtaining them, they are extremely rare and precious.

So far, there are only three known ways to obtain the Demon Stone: First, go to the desolate land where legendary demons gather, and almost everyone who returns alive has obtained one.

As for how many Demon Stones you can find, that depends entirely on luck!

However, before going to such a place, one must be sure whether one has the strength of a legendary level or above. If one's level is insufficient, it is simply suicide!

Legendary powerhouses are like gold being sifted from the waves, and advancing to the legendary realm is something that can only be encountered by chance and is not something that can be sought after.

Therefore, although this first method is the most direct, most people shouldn't rely on it!

Secondly, legendary powerhouses forcibly condensed the Ghost Stone by refining the power of ghosts and gods.

While this greatly reduces the risk, it's a thankless task!
Only sects stronger than the Jade Purity Sect (for example, those with a legendary expert at the fourteenth level) would have their legendary experts do such arduous work in their spare time in order to better cultivate their disciples.

Thirdly, Ghost Locking Towers that reach the eleventh floor or higher can produce a small amount of Ghost Stones!
The eleventh floor of the Ghost-Locking Tower of the Jade Purity Sect is a gathering place for legendary giant ghosts, reportedly containing no fewer than fifty legendary giant ghosts. As for how many Ghost Stones are produced each month, that remains unknown.

"Cold Frost, reward me with three One-Star Demon Stones!"

The man in the purple-gold crown smiled gently, took out the Ghost Stone from the tray, glanced at the expressions of the man and two women, and the first name he uttered was surprisingly Leng Ning Shuang. Perhaps ignorance is bliss. Most of the core disciples and elders didn't find anything wrong with this, but the woman in green pouted slightly, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

"Thank you, Sect Master Tianjue!" The white-clad woman's beautiful eyes shone with excitement as she stepped forward to bow to Feng Tianjue, accepted the jet-black stone from his hand, and stepped back.

"Sect Master, shouldn't you have given that kid the award first? Why did you call out to Ning Shuang first...?"

The kind-faced old man frowned slightly and sent a telepathic reminder to Feng Tianjue. Although he was very happy for his disciple, he should also prioritize the overall situation.

Feng Ling was a helper that Ling Weiyun had temporarily invited to assist in the search for evil spirit masters. Elder Liu Yidao knew this. In other words...

Once the matter of the evil spirit master is settled, not to mention Feng Ling, even Ling Weiyun, who holds the title of "Honorary Elder," will surely leave.

With this competition over, Feng Tianjue will be free to focus his efforts on eliminating the evil spirit master.
With time so pressing, if Feng Tianjue truly wants to keep Feng Ling bound to the Yuqing Sect, he should seize the opportunity!
"One strike, I have other plans for that kid!"

While Feng Tianjue was secretly transmitting his voice to the kind-faced old man, he glanced indifferently at Long Yuzhong, whose eyes were gleaming as he stared at the Ghost Stone.
The Jade Purity Sect Master sneered inwardly, "If you dare to interfere during this time, I won't hesitate to deal with you and the evil spirit masters together!"

For the sake of harmony and the overall situation within the sect, Feng Tianjue had endured for several years. But he could no longer suppress his temper. When he looked back, it seemed that he had lived a carefree and happy life when he was not the sect leader!

"I was overthinking it!" With Feng Tianjue's shrewdness, how could he possibly make such a mistake? Liu Yidao secretly mocked himself, then made no further move, only revealing the same envious look in everyone else's eyes.

Oh no! Perhaps some of those people below can't be described as envious, but rather—jealous! Greedy!

"Next up, Feng Yuqing...!"

When the man in the purple-gold crown called out the name of the woman in green, his expression was somewhat complicated. He then secretly glanced around.

As a father, he was terrified that his daughter had perished in Sunset City; but as a sect leader, he was also concerned that the other elders might object to giving his daughter such a great reward.

"I'd like to hear your praise...! Two Demon Stones!"

Fortunately, Feng Tianjue was always objective and fair in his dealings, and the elders knew his character well, so they did not misunderstand that his actions were out of favoritism.

"Thank you... Sect Master!" Although the fact that one of the stones was missing made someone a little unhappy, the woman in green was still very excited when she received the Ghost Stone.

Feng Yuqing subconsciously wanted to say "father," but Feng Tianjue quickly reminded her, causing the green-clad woman to playfully stick out her tongue.

Fortunately, Feng Tianjue stopped him in time; otherwise, if Feng Yuqing had publicly revealed their obvious father-daughter relationship, he would have been unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Even if he deliberately used the reduction of one Demon Stone as a statement, it's hard to guarantee that people wouldn't misunderstand.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
