These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.
"A million contribution points? This..."
"Choose a treasure from the vault?"
"Master, isn't this a bit too generous...?"
Several elders couldn't help but speak up, their tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.
What does one million contribution points mean?
S-Rank Talent receive 10,000 contribution points every ten years.
One million contribution points is equivalent to a thousand years of basic contribution points for an S-Rank Talent.
The Soul Household's treasury contains treasures accumulated over many years, including many relics left by powerful Soul Household throughout the ages, and even items at the Sage level. Any one of these items would be a treasure that would make Eternal True God envious.
Han Xuanji was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He looked at Hun Qianling, who nodded slightly, her eyes full of smiles. The meaning was clear: Han Xuanji should accept it without worry.
Han Xuanji accepted it without any qualms.
It's not surprising that Hun Qianxue would reward you with a generous amount of contribution points, but I didn't expect that you would also have the qualification to "choose a treasure from the treasury".
The value of this award far exceeded his expectations.
No wonder Hun Qianling insisted that he attend; it turns out there was such a great gift in store.
"This Soul Household Treasure Vault should also be a place rich in Daoist essence."
Han Xuanji's heart skipped a beat, feeling that this deal was worthwhile.
Normally, getting to the treasure vault wouldn't be easy.
I'll also take this opportunity to sign in.
This contribution can be exchanged for some useful treasures, which is not bad.
Hun Qianxue's gaze swept over the elders who had spoken in amazement, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
"What, do you think I gave you too much?"
The elders fell silent as soon as he glanced at them, not daring to say another word.
Hun Qianxue snorted coldly:
"The glory that Xuanji won for the Soul Household is worth this price. Anyone who disagrees, go and try climbing the Five Elements Heavenly Stairway! If you succeed, I will reward you with a million contribution points and let you choose from the treasure vault!"
The hall was completely silent.
No one dared to speak.
Everyone present was well aware of the difficulty of the Five Elements Heavenly Stairway.
Reaching the summit?
Since the Five Elements Pavilion Tower was built, not a single member of the Soul Household has succeeded.
Letting them try is just humiliating themselves.
The Dao of Principle cultivation is inherently difficult. Only those ascetic cultivators Dao of the Five Elements the Five Elements Pavilion who have dedicated themselves to the Five Elements for countless years can achieve it. Outsiders are few and far between, and even the prodigies of major powers who attempt to challenge it rarely succeed.
After all, it is a lineage passed down by a Sage, so the difficulty is naturally not small.
Han Xuanji to climb up there; he must have had some kind of cheat code.
"That's settled then."
Hun Qianxue's hammer strike sealed the deal, leaving no room for doubt.
Han Xuanji stood up, and Chao Hun Qianxue bowed:
" Xie Household kindness, Patriarch Han Xuanji will certainly live up to the expectations of the Soul Household."
These words were spoken neither humbly nor arrogantly, expressing gratitude while also establishing a stance.
Hun Qianxue nodded in satisfaction, gesturing for him to sit down.
"The second thing."
Hun Qianxue's gaze shifted to a spot in the back left row.
" Ling Feng, you tell us."
All eyes turned to that direction.
Ling Feng slowly stood up, his face ashen, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes filled with resentment and struggle.
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became subtle.
Ling Feng is a veteran S-Rank Talent of the Soul Household and enjoys considerable prestige within the clan.
At the Lineage council meeting, it was he who first raised the issue, questioning Han Xuanji's S-Rank Talent qualification.
Having to apologize to a junior now is more humiliating than death.
But he had to bow his head.
Because the tide has turned against them.
Han Xuanji's ascent to the top of the Five Elements Heavenly Stairway is already a foregone conclusion.
If he continues to stubbornly resist, not only will he lose his reputation, but there may even be worse consequences. It is not impossible that he will be expelled from the Soul Household. At that time, he will have no place to stand in Thousand Souls City. Going to other forces is also an option, but he may never be able to achieve his current status.
Ling Feng took a deep breath and walked up to Han Xuanji.
He bent down and bowed deeply.
"Brother Xuanji."
His voice was a little hoarse, but he spoke clearly, word by word:
"I was blind before, and said many things I shouldn't have said and did many things I shouldn't have done. Today, in front of everyone in the clan, I apologize to you."
sorry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a jade talisman from his robes and presented it with both hands:
"This is 200,000 Lineage contribution points, my savings over the years. Consider it an apology; I hope you will accept it."
Two hundred thousand!
Low murmurs rose again inside the hall.
Two hundred thousand contribution points is no small sum.
Although Ling Feng is a veteran S-Rank Talent, his cultivation expenses are extremely high. The 200,000 contribution points he has accumulated are probably almost half of his life savings.
Han Xuanji looked at Ling Feng bowing before him, feeling little emotion.
He took the jade talisman and said calmly:
"Brother Ling Feng, you flatter me. Let bygones be bygones."
Ling Feng straightened up, his expression extremely complex, yet he still managed a forced smile:
Thank you.
He turned and walked back to his seat, his steps much heavier than when he came.
Hun Qianxue watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Alright, both matters for today are settled. Meeting adjourned."
The crowd rose and dispersed in twos and threes.
Hun Qianling quickly walked to Han Xuanji's side and chuckled in a low voice:
"How was it? My brother didn't treat you badly, did he?"
Han Xuanji shook the storage ring in his hand:
"I really didn't expect that."
"With 200,000 contribution points, plus the million my brother rewarded you with, you're now the wealthiest S-Rank Talent in the Soul Household."
Hun Qianling chuckled.
Don't forget to treat me to a meal at one of the city's finest restaurants.
I can't forget it.
Han Xuanji smiled, but his gaze was fixed on the depths of the main hall, where Hun Qianxue was walking towards him.
" Xuanji, you did a good job."
Hun Qianxue patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
To be honest, Han Xuanji far exceeded his expectations.
To be honest, at first, Han Xuanji was made S-Rank Talent mainly because of Hun Qianling.
Even if Han Xuanji Han Xuanji utterly useless, it wouldn't matter if he lived for thousands of years.
At most, it would make him lose face, but in return, it would make his sister, Hun Qianling, happy, which he thought was worthwhile.
He never expected Han Xuanji to give him such a big surprise.
You won't blame me for not helping you much over the years, will you?
Hun Qianxue felt somewhat guilty, after all, a prodigy like Han Xuanji had been unfairly smeared for so long.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't have put up with this kind of treatment here.
"No, no, it's just that the Xuanji wasn't handled well from the beginning."
Han Xuanji's heart stirred, and he responded.
To be honest, he did hide too much from the beginning, so it's normal for there to be misunderstandings.
Hun Qianxue was indeed carefree and had no intention of probing his specific abilities.
Little did they know, Hun Qianxue wanted to find out, but Hun Qianling firmly disagreed, saying that doing so might anger Han Xuanji.
Hun Qianxue was indeed obedient and didn't interfere with Han Xuanji, allowing him to transition carefree until now.
