Chapter 701: Attacking the Rankings
Chen Qing rode on the back of the Northern Darkness Kunpeng, his mind still replaying Lin Daoji's words.
The founding patriarch wanted to take him as a nominal disciple.
A nominal disciple, though not a direct-lineage successor, was still a genuine master-disciple relationship in every real sense. With this status, he would have another layer of security within the Jingyang Blessed Land, indeed across the entire Great Luo Heaven.
And once he rose onto the Primordial Spirit Rankings, the rewards from within the blessed land would likewise be substantial. The special monthly stipend needed no elaboration, its reward astonishing, potentially as much as a hundred pills with six golden patterns each month, more than enough to let a diligent cultivator at the fifth layer of the Primordial Spirit realm never worry about resources again.
Beyond that, there were numerous other benefits, said to be connected in some way to the blessed land's core as well.
The blessed land's core!
Chen Qing thought of the book Li Baichuan had given him during his previous visit to the blessed land's core, and how he had felt a certain resonance from it. Perhaps the key to unlocking that book's mystery lay within the blessed land's core itself.
Li Baichuan was an extraordinarily mysterious figure, especially given his apparent connection to the Undying Mountain, which made Chen Qing all the more curious about his true identity.
"I won't think about this for now. Let's focus on getting onto the Primordial Spirit Rankings first," Chen Qing said quietly to himself.
