Ascension Passage, Post-Battle Distribution

Yield the merit to Lion King Lou...

Jianglingzi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wei Tu. Beneath his calm expression lay a trace of appreciation for Wei Tu.

First, he repaid grievance with virtue; his character was beyond reproach.

Second, he understood how to use those words to indirectly remind him to reward Lion King Lou according to his merits, all without damaging his dignity. His emotional intelligence was truly through the roof.

A person like this could likely become a high-ranking official even in the bureaucratic world of mortals.

A junior who understood the ways of the world might not necessarily bring him any benefits, but at the very least, he would not cause any great disaster in the future.

Not to mention that Wei Tu possessed immense potential.

"Lion King Lou died in the line of duty. How could I let you forgo your merit points and give them to Swordfire Palace? Would that not place me in an unrighteous position?" Jianglingzi deliberately rebuked Wei Tu.

Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he used his magic power to bring Lou Mingyue, who stood below the platform, onto it. He began formally recounting Lion King Lou's merits and bestowing rewards upon Swordfire Palace.

For Swordfire Palace's reward, Jianglingzi did not offer any empty promises such as high-level cultivation techniques or secret arts. Instead, he directly granted Lou Mingyue an opportunity to reach Spirit Transformation.

This Spirit Transformation opportunity came from Ghost King Li's "inheritance." It did not belong to the human race of the Spirit Realm and could be considered Jianglingzi's personal gift.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. When this junior returns to Swordfire Palace, I will personally erect a dharma statue for you, so that my sect may worship you for generations to come."
