Chapter 136: Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment
The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Array, with its dual capabilities of concealment and defense, perfectly matched Qin Sang's requirements. After expressing his gratitude to Sect Leader Yu, Qin Sang carefully put away the array flags of the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Array.
Sect Leader Yu then stood up, returned to the inner hall, and took out the disciples' jade records. He recorded Qin Sang's name under the Foundation Building Realm disciples.
The moment his name was written, a faint light flashed across the records, forming a jade waist token.
With the replacement of his waist token for a Foundation Building disciple, Qin Sang could now enjoy the benefits exclusive to those at this realm. The most exciting privilege for Qin Sang was that new Foundation Building disciples could, within their first month, freely browse the cultivation arts stored on Treasure Tower Peak with their waist token and select one free of charge for their own cultivation.
"These five middle-grade spirit stones are a one-time reward from the sect for reaching the Foundation Building Realm. However, every year, there will be annual offerings, where you can choose from spirit stones, spirit herbs, and other valuable items. Their value is up to you. Normally, the sect would also reward a cave dwelling, but since Junior Brother Qin has chosen to establish your own outside, you can go directly to the Spirit Beast Hall. According to the sect’s rules, Foundation Building disciples are no longer required to perform any menial tasks. However, there are always various duties in the sect that Qi Refining disciples cannot handle, and the rewards are quite generous, especially those involving the Ancient Immortal Battlefield. Junior Brother Qin, if you’re interested, you can take on some tasks. But, if the sect issues a direct decree, you must fulfill the assignment with utmost dedication. Refusal for any reason will be treated as betrayal of the sect, so be cautious…"
Sect Leader Yu's lengthy explanation outlined the rights and responsibilities of Foundation Building disciples.
Compared to Qi Refining disciples, Shaohua Mountain offered considerable leniency to those at the Foundation Building Realm. Apart from the rare mandatory decrees, Foundation Building disciples enjoyed considerable freedom.
If they were low on resources, they could find work at Sect Leader Peak.
If they wished to focus on cultivation, they could close off their cave dwelling, and no one would disturb them.
