"Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?" Kong Ziyi could not help crying out softly, her eyes filled with delight.
Most Emergence from Dust Adepts had never seen Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but Kong Ziyi had seen them more than once with Sumiao, so she immediately recognized them with certainty.
After her delight faded, she looked suspiciously at Feng Jun. "These fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones... are they for me?"
"There are two boxes," Feng Jun said with a smile, pointing at the other one. "A hundred in total. You can pass them on to your master, or keep them for your own use after you achieve Core Embrace. The choice is yours."
"Core Embrace..." A trace of absentmindedness passed over Kong Ziyi's face, and it was impossible to tell what she had thought of.
Then she shook her head with a wry smile. "Even if I really succeed in achieving Core Embrace someday, the sect's reward would only be a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones... You really are generous."
Feng Jun raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Advancing to Golden Core only earns a hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones? The Supreme Clarity Sect... is that stingy?"
Kong Ziyi shook her head. "It is not what you think. Spirit Stone rewards are only a minor part; cultivation arts and magical treasures are the important things. Still, Supreme Clarity does keep a tight grip on Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, though the sect also supports Golden Core True Adepts in searching for them on their own."
That makes more sense. Feng Jun nodded. "It seems you like them, so I gave them to the right person."
"Thank you very much." Kong Ziyi did not stand on ceremony. She raised her hand and put away both boxes, her face beaming. "My master has been running around for my illness and delaying many things.
