Chapter 841
"Tell me, how many methods have you studied in a single day?" Perhaps because the days of guarding the Trial Hall were too tedious, the white-haired old man looked at the two with curiosity and asked.
"Hehe, I've only read about 1,100 books," Wang Kaixuan said, scratching his head with a simple, honest smile.
"One thousand one hundred books, that's already quite impressive. The last time someone could read so many books in a single day was a long time ago, by a little girl named Qinglian." The old man reminisced for a moment, then turned his gaze to Chen Xuan and asked, "And you, how many books have you read?"
After a moment's thought, Chen Xuan felt there was no need to hide the matter and nodded frankly, saying, "It's about four thousand two hundred and thirty-one copies."
Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan's eyes widened instantly. He stared at Chen Xuan as if he had seen a monster, and said with a shocked expression, "Are you serious? The Sword Techniques of the Trial Hall can have so many inheritances?"
Throughout, the elderly protector had always looked at the two of them with a peaceful and calm gaze.
But ever since Chen Xuan revealed the total number of sword techniques in the Trial Hall, he couldn't help but re-examine this little guy, his eyes showing more surprise and attention.
"Four thousand two hundred and thirty-one books. That is indeed the total number of Earth-rank and Heaven-rank sword technique inheritances in the entire Trial Dao Hall." The white-haired elder nodded slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction, and looked at Chen Xuan, saying, "To be able to peruse all the books in such a short time, your divine soul must be at the divine sense level, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the old man and said, "This disciple is not talented; I am merely at the Divine Sense level."
“That makes sense,” the old man murmured to himself.
Upon learning that Chen Xuan possessed a divine soul at the level of divine consciousness, the white-haired elder was clearly extremely satisfied. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, two jade bottles radiating a warm, lustrous sheen slowly flew towards Chen Xuan and his companion.
"As is customary, after new disciples choose their cultivation method in the Trial Hall, their annual cultivation resources will be distributed accordingly," the old man explained.
Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan reached out and took the jade bottle. They scanned it with their divine senses and were immediately astonished, their eyes filled with disbelief.
“Every year, every formal disciple receives a hundred catties of spiritual liquid from the sect as cultivation resources.” The old man shook his head slightly and continued, “It’s fine at the Foundation Establishment stage, but as you enter the Myriad Manifestations stage and even the Nascent Soul stage, a hundred catties of spiritual liquid is far from enough. So, generally, after breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations stage, our sect’s disciples will participate in the God-Slaying Guard’s assessment and become a God-Slaying Guard.”
Chen Xuan was deeply shocked by the grand gesture of Xuanqing Palace, for this was a hundred catties of spiritual liquid.
In his hometown of Qushan, even if all the ancestral property of the Jiang family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, were sold, it would only be enough to exchange for a mere two or three ounces of spiritual liquid.
Chen Xuan's hundred-mile stretch of top-grade spirit fields in Tangwu Mountain yielded a bountiful harvest of three to four hundred thousand catties of spirit grain over three years, but in the end, he only managed to sell a little over three catties of spirit liquid.
Without such a stark contrast, one cannot truly appreciate the immense value of the support that the number one sect in Qingtian County provides to its disciples.
The white-haired elder who was the protector was clearly used to the new disciples' naivety. He did not pause and continued patiently, "Once you pass multiple tests and become God-Slaying Guardians, you will be able to enjoy many benefits."
Although Chen Xuan and his companion had long heard of the names of the God-Slaying Guard and the Immortal-Slaying Hall, they never expected that disciples from other sects could join the God-Slaying Guard after becoming disciples of their sects.
"Hahaha." Seeing the two looking confused, the white-haired old man couldn't help but laugh out loud. "The God-Slaying Guard is not a sect, but an organization established by Emperor Xuanxiao to stabilize the imperial power and fortune of Xuanxiao."
In the mortal world, there are vicious villains who commit murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds. And among those who step onto the path of immortality, those of wicked character and who do evil are even more numerous than carp crossing a river.
Those evil cultivators who devote themselves to evil paths either slaughter living beings on a large scale, cruelly use them to refine evil magical artifacts, or attempt to use the essence and blood of tens of thousands of living beings to cultivate their techniques.
These kinds of people will undoubtedly be wanted and have bounties offered by the God-Slaying Guard.
The character levels range from low to high, each corresponding to a different set of generous rewards.
"If you can join the God-Slaying Guard, you can go to the God-Slaying Guard branch in Qingtian County and Qinglong Mountain Range to take on wanted missions and exchange them for cultivation resources."
Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan were also extremely surprised when they heard this. Their eyes widened, and their faces were filled with shock and curiosity.
"And that's just one of the benefits." Seeing the two little ones' expectant faces, the old man smiled slightly and continued, "The second benefit of joining the God-Slaying Guard is that if you want to go to the endless distant lands for training in the future, you can take the teleportation arrays of the God-Slaying Guard branches set up within the Three Thousand Counties and go there at will."
"Really!?" Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan exclaimed almost in unison, their voices filled with surprise and longing.
