Chapter 61: The Rewards of the Hundred Sect Ceremony - Taiyi Soul Nourishing Pill
The leader of Heavenly Water Sect, Zhang Mo, was the first to stand up. "I will set an example and offer ten pieces of Cold Marrow Stone."
With a casual flick, ten orbs of light flew into the air.
The crowd gasped in amazement.
Cold Marrow Stone, a supreme-grade treasure of the Profound grade, was an excellent choice for both forging Dao Foundations and condensing Golden Cores.
Heavenly Water Sect had a Cold Marrow Stone mine, which allowed them to generously offer such a treasure.
Each piece of Cold Marrow Stone would cost at least three thousand low-grade spirit stones.
The leader of Rising Sun Sect then tossed out five orbs of light. "I am not as wealthy as Leader Zhang, but I will offer five Dark Fire Crystals as prizes."
The crowd was again taken aback.
Dark Fire Crystals, also supreme-grade treasures of the Profound grade, were equally useful for forging Dao Foundations and condensing Golden Cores.
Shen Mo felt a stir in his heart.
When he had prepared to condense a perfect Dao Foundation, Murong Yue had given him a Dark Fire Crystal.
Rising Sun Sect could casually offer five of these crystals.
Indeed, there was a significant gap between Qingxuan Sect and the top five sects of Xuanjiang.
After the Rising Sun Sect leader sat down, the leader of Verdant Vine Sect spoke loudly, "Our Verdant Vine Sect is willing to provide three Green Vine Pearls for the top three disciples of the Hundred Sect Ceremony!"
With that, he sent three green orbs of light into the air, merging with the other light clusters.
"Green Vine Pearls?!" The crowd's eyes widened.
These were supreme-grade treasures of the Profound grade, even more valuable than Cold Marrow Stone and Dark Fire Crystals.
Green Vine Pearls were incredibly rare treasures that could enhance the physical body.
After refining one, the speed of wound healing could be significantly accelerated.
A person could only refine one Green Vine Pearl in their lifetime.
Taking more would greatly diminish the effect, almost to the point of being ineffective.
Each Green Vine Pearl would cost at least four thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Moreover, because Verdant Vine Sect had to mine these pearls from deep underground, their yield was very low and often unavailable in the market.
Unexpectedly, three of them appeared all at once!
Shen Mo raised an eyebrow.
Green Vine Pearls were valuable, and he needed them.
At this point, the leader of Thunderfire Sect swung his sleeve, sending three objects into the air.
"These are deeds to three Thunder Crystal Mines. The top three disciples' sects will each receive one Thunder Crystal Mine," he said calmly.
"Hiss!"
The crowd collectively sucked in their breath.
Wow, that was a grand gesture!
Mines were the foundation of any sect and were always guarded by Golden Core stage cultivators.
The Thunder Crystals produced by these mines were not only beneficial to cultivators with thunder attributes but also accelerated the training of thunder attribute techniques and martial skills, making them highly sought after.
Every sect desired such resources.
The audience now turned their gaze to Luo Chaotian, the leader of Divine Sword Sect.
The previous four leaders had offered increasingly valuable prizes.
As the head of the top sect, Luo Chaotian's contribution had to be equally impressive.
Sure enough, Luo Chaotian flicked his finger, sending an object emitting golden light into the cluster of light orbs.
"Earth-grade pill, Taiyi Soul Nourishing Pill, which can enhance physique!"
"This pill was obtained from the Alchemy King's abode. There were originally two pills; one was consumed by our disciple Zhou Qingcang, elevating his physique from supreme earth-grade to heaven-grade. This is the remaining pill."
Luo Chaotian spoke indifferently, his voice echoing throughout the arena.
As his words fell, the entire arena erupted in excitement.
A pill that could enhance one's physique!
Extremely rare and precious!
Many people might never have the chance to improve their physique in their lifetime.
A Profound-grade physique would remain Profound-grade.
An Earth-grade physique would remain Earth-grade.
But now, an opportunity to enhance one's physique was right in front of them!
Countless eyes turned towards the hundred disciples in the arena.
Their gazes were filled with envy and jealousy.
On the field, the hundred disciples were even more eager to obtain these treasures.
Each one yearned to be the first!
Shen Mo, however, pondered more deeply.
What was Divine Sword Sect planning?
Offering even a Taiyi Soul Nourishing Pill as a reward.
"Are they not afraid of outsiders getting it?"
But then, Shen Mo quickly understood.
Actually, Divine Sword Sect wasn't afraid at all.
Zhou Qingcang was undisputedly the strongest among the Five Young Supremes of Xuanjiang.
In Divine Sword Sect's view, there was at least a 70% chance that Zhou Qingcang would take first place in this Hundred Sect Ceremony.
Even if Zhou Qingcang didn't win, the Taiyi Soul Nourishing Pill was likely to end up in the hands of a disciple from one of the Five Great Sects.
In any case, Divine Sword Sect would still come out ahead.
This move not only showcased Divine Sword Sect's generosity and wealth, attracting the attention of elders and disciples from other sects, but also ensured that the pill didn't fall into the hands of outsiders.
A win-win situation, both in terms of reputation and substance.
At the highest point of the stands, Luo Chaotian looked around, satisfied with the atmosphere.
With a wave of his hand, a hundred marble plaques floated into the air.
He announced in a resonant voice, "These one hundred marble plaques are numbered from one to one hundred."
"Reach out to the plaques, and you will randomly receive one."
"Number one will fight number two, number three will fight number four, and so on."
"Begin!"
With that, he returned to his seat.
The disciples, including Shen Mo, reached out to the floating marble plaques.
The plaques seemed like little spirits, flying towards the disciples.
Shen Mo received a plaque.
Looking closely, he saw the number eleven.
"My opponent is number twelve," he nodded slightly.
An elder from Divine Sword Sect stepped forward and announced loudly, "The arena has been divided into ten areas, with ten pairs of disciples fighting at a time."
"Will the disciples with numbers one and two, three and four, ... nineteen and twenty, please take the stage!"
Shen Mo stepped onto one of the fighting platforms.
His opponent was a disciple from Lingxi Sect.
Many spectators focused on Shen Mo's fight.
"Shen Mo's opponent is only at the major accomplishment stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, completely not his match."
"I think, with Shen Mo's strength, this person won't even have a chance to hurt him."
"Heh, I agree. After all, he's the one who seriously injured Yin Xuege with just two punches!"
Almost everyone had strong confidence in Shen Mo.
The scene of Shen Mo chasing and defeating the Heavenly Water Sect team yesterday had left a deep impression on them.
On the platform.
Each arena had an elder from Divine Sword Sect acting as the judge.
This elder looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready," they answered in unison.
"Begin," the elder nodded slightly.
In the next moment, the Lingxi Sect disciple roared, his whole body bursting with energy and blood, exuding a fierce aura like a beast.
Shen Mo frowned.
He recognized this move, it was Lingxi Sect's secret technique called Lingxi Transformation.
After using it, one could gain immense physical strength and defense.
But this Lingxi Transformation caused irreversible damage to the body.
It was usually only used by Lingxi Sect disciples in life-or-death battles outside.
There was no need to use such a self-destructive technique in a competition.
The Divine Sword Sect elder acting as judge was also taken aback.
He clearly hadn't expected the Lingxi Sect disciple to be so ruthless.
