Chapter 262: The Reward for Fifth Place!
The reward for fourth place had passed, and everyone was now eagerly anticipating the next one.
The fifth place belonged to Laozi, and because he had more than one weapon on the list, he also had two choices.
[Fifth Place Weapon List Reward: Primal Chaos Golden Pill]
[Can enhance the power of a Saint!]
This item was also quite straightforward. Although it could enhance a Saint's power, it was nothing compared to the Nether Chaos Fruit that Ye Tian had received.
The Nether Chaos Fruit could even increase the power of a Heavenly Path Saint, whereas the Primal Chaos Golden Pill could only enhance the power of a Saint. The difference between the two was significant.
Laozi was not surprised, as he knew there would inevitably be a gap between the rewards for first and fifth places, and the gap wasn't too large in his view.
For him, the Primal Chaos Golden Pill was just right. It could give him a considerable boost, and given his mastery in alchemy, he knew exactly how difficult it was to refine such a pill.
Even now, he couldn't create it himself due to the rare materials required and the high level of refinement skill necessary. Even he might not succeed, so receiving it directly was the best outcome for him.
Laozi also knew that the Nether Chaos Fruit was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. Without immense luck, such heavenly materials and earthly treasures were impossible to encounter. Ye Tian had only received such a reward because of the strength of his weapon.
Naturally, others also sensed the disparity between the rewards, and many were somewhat distressed. Their rankings were lower, so while their rewards would likely still be good, there was a chance they would be much worse.
[Sun Wukong: Oh no, the gap between the rewards for fifth and first place is already this big. I, Old Sun, am ranked 100th. Who knows how bad my reward will be? Will it even give me any boost in strength?]
[Erlang Shen: At least you'll get a reward. You should count yourself lucky. Think about how many people didn't even make it onto the list. Even the worst reward is something they'd want, but they have no chance of receiving it!]
[Taiyi Zhenren: The rewards will obviously get worse as we go down the rankings. Otherwise, why rank them? However, the rewards probably won't get too bad. There's likely a baseline!]
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: The rewards from the last list were useful even for the person ranked last. There's no need to worry about this one either. We're only at the fifth place—what's there to worry about? Just wait patiently!]
[Shennong: You all don't understand the value of pills. The Primal Chaos Golden Pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the materials used are extremely rare, making it hard to gather everything needed. Its effects are substantial as well—it can increase a Saint's power. How many pills or treasures in the Primordial World can do that?]
Shennong, knowledgeable about various pills, naturally understood its value. However, others didn't, which led them to believe the gap between the rewards was too vast, and that the rewards would only worsen further down the list.
[Manjushri Bodhisattva: This is the reward for the fifth place on the Weapon List. It won't be as bad as you imagine. You just don't understand the value of the Primal Chaos Golden Pill, which is actually quite good!]
Even Saints, when they hit bottlenecks in their cultivation, must rely solely on their own hard work, with no shortcuts. At their level, there were hardly any treasures that could aid them in increasing their power, leaving them reliant on their innate talent and potential.
And as their strength grew, their cultivation naturally slowed down. What they needed most at that point were treasures that could boost their power, but those were beyond their reach—until now, when it appeared in the form of this reward.
[Tongtian Jiaozhu: The Primal Chaos Golden Pill isn't bad. It can boost one's power. If Senior Brother chooses it, it will definitely give him a substantial boost!]
[Laozi: This is just the first reward to appear. No need to rush a decision yet!]
Laozi knew he had two rewards to choose from. While the Primal Chaos Golden Pill was good, it might not be his best option. He needed to wait for the second reward before making a choice.
[Fifth Place Weapon List Reward: Question Card]
[Double Question Card: You may randomly select two individuals as respondents. If they answer all questions correctly, they will receive a tremendous treasure. If they get one wrong, there will be no reward. If both questions are answered incorrectly, there will be a punishment. At that point, the two respondents will receive the rewards!]
When the Double Question Card appeared, everyone was shocked. No one had expected something similar to the Question Card to show up, even though the Question Card had appeared before. The Double Question Card was clearly of the same level.
This was unlike any treasure, divine ability, or secret technique that had appeared before. Although it was somewhat similar to the Question Card, its actual use remained to be seen.
However, what shocked everyone the most was the fact that if both respondents failed to answer correctly, they would be punished. This was the first time a punishment had been associated with a reward.
This made the situation serious, as the Golden List rewards had always been generous, and any punishment it handed down would be just as severe.
Compared to the previous rewards, the Double Question Card was a completely different type of item, representing two extremes—on one hand, it could provide tremendous rewards, but on the other, failure could lead to severe consequences. No one knew exactly what those punishments would be.
If the punishment was severe enough, choosing this option could be incredibly risky. After all, the reward for fifth place wasn't bad. If Laozi chose the Primal Chaos Golden Pill, he would directly gain more power and face no danger.
However, the Double Question Card was akin to the Question Card. If answered correctly, the reward would be incredibly valuable. The rewards that Ye Tian and Lu Ya had received from the Question Card made everyone envious.
Because of the appearance of the Double Question Card, discussions erupted. Even though the rankings and rewards didn't directly concern many of those discussing, the excitement in the air was palpable.
After all, the emergence of a new type of reward opened their eyes, and they were thrilled to witness the spectacle.
[Guangchengzi: The Double Question Card has never appeared before. Ye Tian and Lu Ya received the Question Card, but the conditions between these two seem vastly different!]
