Chapter 1009: New Rewards
At this moment, in the Qingmu Department of the First Palace, Gong Luo and others were experiencing mixed feelings, which was understandable. It was truly unprecedented to recruit a Martial Arts genius as outstanding as Jing Yan. Reflecting on it, it still felt unbelievable that such a great thing could fall upon the Qingmu Department’s head.
For countless years, the most outstanding member that the Qingmu Department of the First Palace could recruit wouldn’t rank very high on the Tianghua List, and the youngest was over a thousand years old.
The rewards received from the Wanbao Hall, distributed among the few hundred members of the entire Qingmu Department, always seemed insufficient. Even the amount of Spirit Grass was far less compared to those more powerful departments.
Each department held its own Medicine Field, and the produce from it could be quite financially benefitting. If there were many Medicine Fields, the accumulated value of the materials produced could be significant. However, the Luo Jiu Divine Palace strictly controlled these fields, and generally, wouldn’t reward departments with them.
"Haha, is Director Gong Luo here?"
At this moment, a voice with laughter came from outside.
Gong Luo and others slightly narrowed their eyes and then gradually walked out from the Council Hall.
"Ah, it’s Elder Ding Ye!" Seeing the visitor was Elder Ding Ye of the Wanbao Hall of the First Palace, Gong Luo hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Director Gong Luo, I must congratulate you." Ding Ye smiled warmly.
He had no private friendship with Gong Luo, but there was no conflict, so his attitude was not overly warm, yet very polite. Especially since the Qingmu Department of the First Palace was clearly about to make a complete turnaround and rise to prominence. As the Qingmu Department ascended, Gong Luo’s status as Director would naturally rise as well.
"What does Elder Ding Ye mean by this?" Glimmers of light flashed in Gong Luo’s eyes.
He had already guessed Ding Ye’s purpose, but since the other party hadn’t stated it, he felt it best not to appear overly excited. What if it wasn’t as he guessed, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
