Chapter 521: Chapter 469: Buying Horse Bones for a Thousand Gold – Rewarding Merit and Punishing Sin!

“Secondly, in my opinion, it’s like ‘a thousand gold for a horse’s bone’!” Deng Zhong said solemnly.

Pei Xuanjing raised an eyebrow, curiously asked, “What is ‘a thousand gold for a horse’s bone’?”

“Although today’s world has revived and it has become much easier for mortal realm martial artists to cultivate than before, the leap to the third-grade realm still remains a challenge that blocks many martial artists. Many people under compulsion can only tread into the pseudo grandmaster realm. Although they can continue to move forward in the future, the path of cultivation is burdensome and difficult. However, if the Sect Leader cultivates these pseudo grandmaster martial artists to the first-grade realm, or even the spirit realm, the hearts of martial artists worldwide would be easily swayed.” Deng Zhong voiced his opinion.

Even though the revival of the world has simplified the cultivation for martial artists, the third-grade is still a hurdle. Due to the easier cultivation method, there are fewer martial artists who can condense the true idea of martial arts through a lot of tempering compared to the vast foundation. Therefore, not only are there not fewer pseudo grandmasters in the third-grade, but there are more.

If the Sect Leader can solve this problem, the Taoist Academy will become the holy land for countless martial artists. For numerous martial artists, cultivation will become even faster, which completely meets the expectations of the Sect Leader.

As for whether Pei Xuanjing can solve this problem, in the eyes of Deng Zhong and others who have followed him all the way, there’s no problem in this world that Pei Xuanjing can’t handle. It simply depends on whether he wants to or not.

Pei Xuanjing had to laude the creative thinking of the other party. What he wanted was for more and more strong people in this world to abound. Their collisions could bring him more experiences and inspirations.

Indeed, the shackles of the third-grade pseudo grandmaster realm have become an obstacle to the birth of powerful people. If this methodology could be solved, then it would indeed be beneficial for Pei Xuanjing. He would earn the support and praises of martial artists worldwide, and he would inevitably gain favor from Heaven and Earth and receive Qi Luck.

“Your idea is not bad.” Pei Xuanjing praised.

“Thank you for your approval, Sect Leader. It’s my duty.” Deng Zhong’s face brightened, knowing his suggestion was accepted by the Sect Leader, a smile emerged on his face.

Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, “Since you’ve done this, there should be a reward.”

He flicked a finger, a surge of Primordial Qi entered Deng Zhong’s body, “This is the Primordial Qi of the Innate Thunder Gang. You can use it as a reference. Go to the Scripture Pavilion to consult the secrets of Innate Thunder Gang Qi and cultivate this skill as a reward for this time!”

“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Deng Zhong’s eyes flashed a hint of surprise.

Innate Thunder Gang Qi, was created by the Sect Leader, combining Innate Gang Qi with Shenxiao Sect martial studies. It is now considered a top-grade magical skill in the Taoist School. Even the power it can exhibit when cultivated by spirit realm experts is extremely strong.

Although this skill is placed in the Scripture Pavilion, to learn it requires a significant contribution value. Considering the fact, Pei Xuanjing is willing to teach these skills to everyone, he doesn’t actually give them for free, they need to exchange it with something. Within the Shenxiao Sect, as long as they have made a contribution or accumulate enough contribution value, they can exchange it for any skill, including Pei Xuanjing’s Heavenly Heaven’s Intention spell.

However, accumulating these contribution values isn’t that simple. As far as Deng Zhong knew, currently in the Shenxiao Sect, only Yu Zhenzi was granted permission due to his merit, not even the deputy leader, Pang Hong, had the chance to practice.

Now that he unexpectedly has the chance to practice this skill, it seems to make many people in the sect envy him if word got out.

He believed that if he managed to successfully cultivate this skill, his strength would surely ascend to the next level.

“If the Sect Leader has no other instructions, this subordinate will take his leave.” Deng Zhong respectfully addressed Pei Xuanjing. His heart was still filled with excitement, and he couldn’t wait to practice this skill.

Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said, “Hold on, I still have something to ask you.”

“Please give your commands, Sect Leader,” Deng Zhong replied.

“Reward for achievement, punishment for mistake. This is the foundation for any force, am I right?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a smirk.

Deng Zhong’s face froze, and a hint of uneasiness arose in his heart, but he plucked up the courage to reply, “What the Sect Leader said is right, there’s no mistake.”

Pei Xuanjing asked again, “Then for making a decision on your own and promising Daoist Xuanming, what punishment do you deserve?”

“Please forgive me, Sect Leader. I only wanted to…” Deng Zhong quickly knelt halfway, attempting to explain.

However, having said half of his sentence, he couldn’t continue, because he knew where he had made his mistake.

“I’ve realized my mistake, please punish me, Sect Leader.” He changed his words, stopped trying to explain, and admitted his mistake.

Pei Xuanjing’s face initially went cold when Deng Zhong tried to explain, but his cold demeanor faded slightly after Deng Zhong changed his tone, “In that case, considering this is your first offence, I won’t dig deeper. The candidate Daoist Xuanming recommended, just let him have one of the Upper Court positions that belong to your group!”

Having heard the results, Deng Zhong first displayed a sorrowful expression, but he dared not have any objections, he replied, “Yes, I understand.”

The spots in the Taoist Academy are highly coveted within Shenxiao Sect. He and the likes of Yu Zhenzi represent some big factions within the Shenxiao Sect. Giving up one spot in the Upper Court this time might cause a lot of discontent among his people.

However, Deng Zhong also understood that his little scheme had been exposed. He dared not show any dissatisfaction and could only accept it, thinking of ways to appease his subordinates with something else.

“Alright, you may leave!” Pei Xuanjing motioned.

“This subordinate takes his leave.” Deng Zhong stood up and slowly withdrew.

Watching Deng Zhong’s receding figure, Pei Xuanjing shook his head, his face returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.

With his current strength, as long as he releases the power of the Yin Spirit, everything that happens within a dozen miles around the Taoist Temple will be under his control. With the appearance of a strongman like Daoist Xuanming, Pei Xuanjing naturally sensed it.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing was aware of the meeting between Deng Zhong and Daoist Xuanming. Although he didn’t know what the two of them had discussed, he was clear about their meeting.

After listening to what Deng Zhong had to say, Pei Xuanjing basically understood what the two had talked about.

Indeed, the idea proposed by Deng Zhong was not bad, in fact, it was a win-win situation. It could provide considerable help for Pei Xuanjing’s plan. Therefore, he rewarded Deng Zhong with Innate Thunder Gang Qi.

Similarly, Deng Zhong’s little scheme and his presumption was also a mistake. He wanted to use Pei Xuanjing as a shield and sell favors, something that Pei Xuanjing didn’t like, hence he had to be punished as well.

Otherwise, as Pei Xuanjing spends more and more time in closed-door cultivation, who knows what these people will do in his name?
