Compared to the rewards from the previous trial, this trial's rewards leaned more toward the sect as a whole.
What surprised Lin Feng most was that the Evergreen Sect's spiritual energy concentration had increased by another 200%, reaching 735%! The Evergreen Sect had advanced straight to blessed-land-grade spiritual resonance!
The entire area covered by the sect now had an environment on the level of grotto-heavens and blessed lands!
From then on, the Evergreen Sect had the conditions needed for spirit herbs and spirit beasts to emerge.
Next came the rewards for placing first in the second week's competition:
[Congratulations to the Evergreen Sect for taking first place in this week's competition. Rewards: high-grade spirit stones x100, high-grade spirit vein advancement core x1, low-grade profound-tier sword art "Clear Breeze Returning Spirit Sword Art" x1.] [Congratulations to the host for taking first place in the second week's sect cultivation environment competition in Sect World 999. Additional reward: one random targeted trait draw from the advanced trait pool.] [High-grade spirit vein advancement core: can advance a spirit vein below high grade to high grade.]
Aside from spirit stones, this competition's rewards included the special high-grade spirit vein advancement core, which could directly advance one of the Evergreen Sect's existing low-grade spirit veins into a high-grade spirit vein.
The Evergreen Sect had also officially obtained its first profound-tier cultivation art, the Clear Breeze Returning Spirit Sword Art, further expanding the pool of cultivation arts available for its disciples to choose from.
As the rewards arrived one after another, the many intermediate- and advanced-level strongholds the Evergreen Sect had occupied in the [Myriad Spirits Secret Realm] also began to manifest within its territory.
Natural spirit-gathering strongholds and hidden-vein spring strongholds began descending at random, one after another, within a hundred li of the mountain range where the Evergreen Sect stood.
They would be available for the Evergreen Sect's inner disciples and personal disciples to choose as sites for their cave abodes in the future, with those fated to find them learning of their whereabouts.
Meanwhile, the countless intermediate- and advanced-level fertile spiritual land strongholds occupied by the Evergreen Sect became a thousand mu of spirit fields behind the sect's mountain, becoming part of the Evergreen Sect.
This also saved the Evergreen Sect considerable time in clearing spirit fields to plant spirit grain and spirit herbs.
The Evergreen Sect desperately needed disciples.
The Evergreen Sect now had limitless resources of every kind, but desperately lacked disciples with the corresponding abilities.
Whether for planting and cultivating spirit herbs or refining pills and artifacts, the Evergreen Sect lacked disciples with the corresponding traits.
Lin Feng had already made his decision.
With the second week's competition and trial ending together, Lin Feng had accumulated 33 ordinary trait draws and one targeted trait draw.
Lin Feng planned to keep saving the targeted trait draw and use it during a suitable competition later.
Lin Feng turned his attention to his 33 ordinary trait draws instead. This time, he would do three ten-pulls! He would reclaim his moment as a luck emperor!
Drawing on his experience with all sorts of gacha games in his previous life, Lin Feng chose to prime his luck with a single pull before doing his ten-pulls.
[Congratulations, you have successfully drawn the green trait: rapid comprehension.] [Rapid comprehension: slightly increases the speed of comprehending profound-tier cultivation arts and below, as well as basic sword arts, and reduces the difficulty of breaking through minor realms.]
Not bad. His very first pull had yielded a useful trait. He could finally replace Tie Dali's white trait, [A little green on the head]!
As a personal disciple of the Evergreen Sect, it was rather inappropriate for him to keep carrying two negative traits.
Next, Lin Feng chose to go all in and do three ten-pulls!
[You have selected a ten-pull of sect disciple-oriented traits. Confirm that you wish to draw now?]
Confirm.
[Congratulations, host. You have drawn the following traits: White trait: coarse food hunger resistance, White trait: night vision, White trait: swimming champion, White trait: flourishing official career, White trait: light and nimble steps, White trait: impervious to cold and heat, White trait: absolute loyalty, White trait: sleepless at night, White trait: born at the wrong time, White trait: forgetful and careless.
Looking at the results of his first ten-pull, Lin Feng took a deep breath. He mustn't get impatient, and he mustn't start cursing.
Ten white traits in a row? White traits are exactly what I like!
Besides, being white traits doesn't mean they're useless!
Though white traits aren't much use to cultivators who have stepped onto the path of immortal cultivation.
For the sect's menial disciples who haven't stepped onto that path, white traits are still very useful!
As long as they aren't negative traits, they can all be put to use!
Besides, as long as I don't use these traits, these white traits won't be added to the trait pool, and the odds of drawing higher-grade traits will increase considerably!
Without pausing, Lin Feng chose another ten-pull!
[Congratulations, host. You have drawn the following traits: Green trait: low-grade spirit root, Blue trait: sword heart keen comprehension, Purple trait: restore essence in the thick of battle, ... [Sword heart keen comprehension: greatly increases comprehension of swordsmanship when practicing sword arts, allowing proficiency in basic sword moves to improve rapidly.] [Restore essence in the thick of battle: continuously restores spiritual energy and vitality during combat, allowing prolonged fighting even at low health.]
Looking at the results of his second ten-pull, Lin Feng found them somewhat more presentable than the first. Aside from seven white traits, he had drawn one green, one blue, and one purple trait, all three of them positive buffs.
Looking at these three newly drawn traits, Lin Feng already had recipients in mind.
Next, Lin Feng did his third ten-pull, which was also his last.
Streaks of white light rapidly appeared in Lin Feng's mind, filling him with despair.
[Congratulations, host. You have drawn the following traits: ... ... Rainbow trait: pill ancestor descends to the mortal world.]
But after nine consecutive flashes of white light, the tenth light actually shimmered with rainbow colors. At first, Lin Feng was filled with excitement, but once he saw the rainbow trait's name clearly, his excitement was immediately cut in half.
He hadn't expected his first rainbow trait to be an alchemy-type trait.
Lin Feng was quite shocked as he examined this rainbow trait's abilities. It truly lived up to being a trait of the highest grade.
[Pill ancestor descends to the mortal world: Wield the origin laws of the Dao of Alchemy, with a fixed pill refinement success rate of one hundred percent; Unaffected by incomplete medicinal ingredients, mistakes in heat control, or incomplete pill formulas; Pill refinement has a high chance of producing multiple times the number of pills and is guaranteed to produce high-grade pill patterns. The medicinal efficacy of pills can exceed the grade limit of the pill formula itself, and high-tier pills can be forcibly refined from low-tier medicinal ingredients; Can independently deduce, complete, and create lost ancient pill formulas. During pill refinement, can draw upon heavenly and earthly phenomena of the Dao of Alchemy for empowerment and resolve the backlash of pill tribulations; Even after pill refinement fails, can reverse the medicinal properties and refine ruined pills anew; Consuming pills personally refined grants additional origin Dao resonance, with a small chance of directly piercing through a cultivation bottleneck; Completely immune to all pill toxins and medicinal baleful energy. With sufficient cultivation, can casually enlighten spirit herbs and accelerate their growth to hundreds or thousands of years of medicinal age.]
Looking at the terrifying abilities of this rainbow trait, Lin Feng was rather shocked. Their Evergreen Sect might well become the strongest alchemy sect in Sect World 999!
It was just a little regrettable that the sect currently had no disciple suited to this rainbow trait.
