Hearing the word family...
Li Yukun was the first to look at Li Qingzhu.
Li Qingzhu looked at Li Yukun but held Jian Cangqiong's hand.
Jian Cangqiong tightly gripped Li Qingzhu's hand, patted Jian Wuheng on the shoulder, but looked at Dao Yeming.
Dao Yeming smiled faintly and nodded at Jian Cangqiong.
Sang Zhenye and his wife glanced at each other, held hands, and at the same time turned to look at a corner of the wooden house, which had fallen through. It was where they lived, with Sang Zhenglong and Sang Zhirou there.
They both felt the presence and warmth of family.
This was a feeling they hadn't experienced in a long time since they started cultivating.
"Kid, from now on, we are your family!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke emotionally, putting an arm around Jiang Chen's shoulder.
"Yes, junior brother! We are your family!"
Yun Tao held Jiang Chen's hand.
Jiang Chen looked at Hu Yiqiu, then at Yun Tao, with a joyful smile on his face, nodded heavily.
After a while, everyone calmed their emotions and secretly marveled inside.
All had reached the Late Integration Realm stage, so stable was their mindset, yet Jiang Chen's simple words touched their hearts surprisingly. Does this kid have some magic?!
Though they found it unbelievable, their eyes showed deep warmth when they looked at Jiang Chen!
"Jiang Chen, rest well. As for the reward, I'll bring it to you later!"
Jian Cangqiong smiled lightly: "You have already understood the Five Elements Great Path. I think those rewards are what you need most now!"
"That's more like it, don't be stingy, the more the better!"
Hu Yiqiu seemed to think of something, his eyes brightened, and he spoke with a light laugh.
Jian Cangqiong glanced helplessly at Hu Yiqiu and gave a bitter smile. This time the expenditure would be large.
However, thinking of Jiang Chen's contribution to the academy, it was worth it!
...
Night fell, and the moonlight draped the earth in silver.
Whish!
A figure quickly reached the mid-mountain of West Fury Mountain.
"How is it?"
Lu Buping looked at He Tianwei with anticipation, a trace of tension on his face.
"Master, they have not discovered anything, the formation is still intact!"
He Tianwei had a trace of joy on his face.
"Haha! Hu Yiqiu claims to be the number one Array Master of our Changlin Academy, yet he didn't even detect the formation I set up. What good is repairing the great formation? Will these formations still work in the future?"
Lu Buping had a cold smile on his lips, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Master, Hu Yiqiu won't go to Pure Land Rock, but Jiang Chen might. I wonder if his battle technique expertise will discover the formation base in Pure Land Rock!"
He Tianwei's expression turned serious, speaking with a hint of concern.
"Jiang Chen!"
Lu Buping's eyes showed a cold glint: "Find a chance and take him out!"
"Yes!"
He Tianwei nodded heavily and left West Fury Mountain in a flash.
By now, their conspiracy had been revealed, but unfortunately, Dao Yeming was at Southern Maniac Mountain, and no one else could monitor Lu Buping without arousing suspicion. Thus, they once again missed the opportunity to acquire concrete evidence.
This is the difference between an academy and a sect. In a sect, once someone is understood to be a danger to the sect, they can be eliminated no matter how much they have contributed. But in an academy, without conclusive evidence, Jian Cangqiong and others cannot act against Lu Buping, who has military merits!
South Maniac Mountain Peak.
Everyone had left; Jiang Chen took an elixir to calmly heal.
Click!
A light sound, a figure pushed the door and entered. Jian Cangqiong and Hu Yiqiu came again to the wooden house where Jiang Chen was.
"Master, Principal."
Jiang Chen bent his waist, cupped his fists, and saluted.
"Kid, the principal has come to deliver you a reward this time!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke with a light laugh.
"This time, you've made a great contribution to the academy, but due to confidentiality, we can't give you a points reward. However, these things are not inferior to training at the five great opportunity places!"
Jian Cangqiong spoke with a light laugh, waved a hand, and a colorful glow appeared. In front of Jiang Chen lay a small pile of five-colored pearls.
These five-colored pearls contained extremely rich Great Dao aura, even more concentrated than the Great Dao aura at the central location of the five great opportunity places. They were things like the Wooden Origin Pearl Yun Tao had given him back then!
After that Wooden Origin Pearl, Jiang Chen had asked Hu Yiqiu about its origin.
In heaven and earth, some things contain their own Great Dao aura, called Dao Treasures by cultivators. Dao Treasures contain the purest Great Dao aura, a grand opportunity all cultivators flock to.
In the five opportunity places of Changlin Academy, there exist Five Elements Dao Treasures, where the Great Dao aura is extremely rich around the Dao Treasures. Small means can fill Spiritual Pearls with Great Dao aura, creating these Five Elements Origin Beads!
If Changlin Academy were not a power within the Academy Alliance of the Four Great Apex Powers on the continent, even the Great Dao aura emitted by these Dao Treasures could at most help cultivators at the mid Unity Realm Stage comprehend the Great Dao. Changlin Academy would not be able to keep them.
The battle a hundred years ago erupted because of the existence of Dao Treasures!
"So many?!"
Looking at the Origin Beads in front of him, Jiang Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Before him, there were twenty beads of each color, a total of one hundred Origin Beads lying quietly there. The aura of the Five Elements Great Path they emitted was almost condensing into divine light!
"It's not much. Given your contribution to the academy, these Great Dao Origin Beads as your reward are not undeserved!"
Jian Cangqiong spoke with a light laugh.
"Thank you, Principal!"
Jiang Chen's face lit up with joy. He cupped his fists, bowed to Jian Cangqiong, and waved his hand, storing the hundred Great Dao Origin Beads in his ring.
"I say, are these the only Great Dao Origin Beads?"
Hu Yiqiu's eyes turned, looking dissatisfied at Jian Cangqiong: "Don't you have some High Grade Spirit Stones there? Give Young Jiang a few pieces, so he can use himself as the formation eye. Together with these Great Dao Origin Beads, he can quickly set up formations for an extra layer of protection."
Jian Cangqiong was slightly stunned and nodded lightly: "Well, cultivators' cultivation is not easy to guard always. Since you are skilled in the Formation Divine Art of using people as formations, laying down a formation, giving you some Spirit Stones can also offer some security!"
Whoosh!
A white glow flashed, and two small piles of Spirit Stones appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
One pile had ten stones, and the other had one hundred, but the Spiritual Power fluctuations from the pile of ten Spirit Stones were far stronger than those from the pile of one hundred!
"These are ten supreme-grade Spirit Stones and one hundred high-grade Spirit Stones. For now, the academy can only provide this much. Don't disdain them!"
Jian Cangqiong spoke softly.
After speaking, Jian Cangqiong himself smiled bitterly.
No way around it. He had indeed taken out so much, and he still had to fear that Jiang Chen might find it insufficient.
This was only to blame Jiang Chen for being too talented!
