All ten spaces were good: a hundred taels of silver, a thousand taels of gold, a beloved daughter offering a handkerchief, the lady's favor, a martial arts friend, the fortunate purchase of a secret manual, the county magistrate's praise, outstanding military merit, promotion by one rank, and guidance from an expert.
Li Qingxian looked toward Guidance from an Expert. That was indeed good, but the Down-and-Out Marquis was already a great Upper Three Ranks expert, and both the Heavenly Profound Technique and the Great Annihilating Star Saber were Upper Rank techniques. Adding one more expert would merely be gilding the lily.
Other than Guidance from an Expert, none of the other three were worth a single Universal Jade Pendant.
As long as he kept earning merit and did not clash with the county magistrate, it did not matter whether the magistrate praised him or not. An increase in official rank was hollow; strength was solid. Military merit looked good, but like the first two, it was merely a result.
For it stemmed from his own ability.
That secret-manual space was tasteless for a Martial Cultivator.
A Spell Cultivator could never have too many skills, but a Martial Cultivator had to focus and delve deep into a single path. Before he had cultivated his two Upper Rank techniques to a bottleneck, any martial arts secret manual would only be a side effect.
The county magistrate's wife favoring him was somewhat dangerous. What a pity.
As for the county magistrate's beloved daughter offering him a handkerchief to declare her affection, wouldn't that delay a Fate Gentleman's cultivation? A trap!
In the end, Li Qingxian looked toward Martial Arts Friend.
This space would not merely expand his connections. More importantly, it would provide a sparring partner—someone who could lend a hand when trouble
