Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 59: Reward
Tang Jie stood in front of Xie Fengtang.
Not humble.
Not overbearing.
Xie Fengtang looked at the boy in front of him for a while, then nodded and said: "You surprised me again."
There are not many things that can surprise the head of Xiyue Academy.
Especially for students.
Tang Jie has made Xie Fengtang's heart tremble for him at least three times, once because of his identity, once when he passed on the law, and once right now.
If there is a student that Xie Fengtang is most familiar with now, it is probably Tang Jie.
Don't underestimate the word "familiar". How many people rack their brains and put in all their efforts just to look "familiar" in front of their bosses.
Only when your boss has an impression of you, he will think of you in many things, and you will get more opportunities.
Everyone in the world works hard, but if you only work hard without opportunities, you can only become a coolie.
Only opportunities and hard work can turn them into opportunities.
There are tens of thousands of students in Xiyue Academy. As the head of the academy, it is impossible for Xie Fengtang to know every student. Even Qi Shaoming, the ninth rank of Yumen, and An Rumeng, the genius of Qianqing Sect, he has never met - Xiyue In which year did Yue Academy not admit a few geniuses?
So even if Tang Jie's identity is questionable, it doesn't mean that Xie Fengtang must pay much attention to him.
There is a reason for uncertainty about the identity, and another important reason is that the Xiyue Sect does not know that the treasure of the soldier master is not in Moqiu.
But they knew that the treasure must not be in Wenxin's country. After all, Xu Muyang fled all the way to Wenxin.
Treasures that are not within one's own sphere of influence are destined to be difficult to obtain, and even if they are successful, they will have to pay a huge price.
Based on this understanding, Xiyue Party is not very interested in obtaining the treasure. The main purpose is to prevent Tianshen Palace from obtaining it.
This is why Xie Fengtang stopped investing after teaching Tang Jie.
This understanding made the Xiyue Sect's benefits to Tang Jie far less than expected, and it also made the Xiyue Sect not eager to force Tang Jie.
Favorable.
There are disadvantages.
But today, Tang Jie appeared in front of Xie Fengtang again.
The identity of the founder is recorded in Tianyu Temple.
In response to Xie Fengtang's words, Tang Jie respectfully replied: "It's all thanks to Dean Xie's great care for the boy and his ability to learn the supreme secrets of the Shenxiao Sword Canon that he can achieve this feat. I don't dare to take the credit."
Xie Fengtang said lightly: "Although the secret method of washing the moon is not passed down lightly, there are always a few people who can get it every year. However, there may not be one person who can set a thousand-year record by inheriting the secret method in a hundred years... I have experienced it. After eighteen hundred years of accumulation, do you know that behind every record on the record wall of the Seven Heavens Palace, there are countless opportunities, strength, stories, and even blood and tears!"
As he spoke the last few sentences, Xie Fengtang's voice became stern.
After the surprise, comes the questioning.
Xie Fengtang needs Tang Jie to give a reasonable explanation.
This time Tang Jie can no longer use the excuse of exploding seeds. Xie Fengtang is not Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian doesn't care about the college chores and can handle anything he says. Using this excuse for Xie Fengtang is a sure way to commit suicide. ——He will definitely let you have a try in front of him.
Tang Jie just smiled and said: "What the master said is true. Behind every record of the Seven Heavens Palace, there are countless blood and tears... You have no talents. If you still want to achieve great achievements, you have to pay a big price." ."
Hearing this, Xie Fengtang was startled: "You..."
"Nine deaths and return to the original method." Tang Jie answered.
This name was like a thunderbolt hitting Xie Fengtang's head, causing him to shout in shock: "Nine-Death Return to Origin Method? How dare you practice the Heart Zen of Suffering and Silence?"
The method of returning to one's origin after nine deaths is a secret technique recorded in the Shenxiao Sword Code.
This secret technique was not created by the Xiyue Sect, but was obtained by the Xiyue Sect’s Immortal Master after he broke through the world and was obtained and brought back from other worlds. fairy book.
This method is very easy to practice and has the effect of refining the body. Once the practice is successful, the bones of the whole body will be as strong as diamond, and it also has a bonus effect on some gold-breaking armor-breaking spells.
However, as the name suggests, practicing this method is extremely dangerous. If the practitioner is not careful during the practice, he will go crazy. Not only that, but he must also experience the test of life and death in battle before he can make a breakthrough. Its level of danger can be called a nine-death escape, so it is called the nine-death return method.
Naturally no one would be willing to practice a spell like this.
Although there are many people in the world of immortality who dare to fight for their future, it also depends on how they fight - those who pick up weapons and charge into battle are called warriors, and those who hold a revolver loaded with five bullets and pull the trigger on their own heads. Called idiot.
The reason why the great master brought this method back is simply because this method, like the Hidden Image Sutra, is a method that can be used to refine the body during the Lingtai stage. It is extremely rare and has certain research value. Therefore It was included in the Shenxiao Sword Canon, but I never thought anyone would practice it.
In terms of the effectiveness of cultivation, it is no worse than the Zangxiang Sutra, or even better. But when it comes to the safety of cultivation, the Zangxiang Sutra is miles ahead.
Of course Tang Jie would not repair such a broken thing foolishly.
But what he did this time was so big that he never thought he would break the puppet before.
After the incident came out, he had to make amends for it.
After much thought, I finally thought of his three and a half doors.
At the beginning, he told Xie Fengtang that he had memorized three and a half spells, but Xie Fengtang didn't ask what those half spells were, and Tang Jie didn't tell him. He kept this back-up for emergency situations.
Now that the record came out, Tang Jie thought of this nine-death return method.
The body-refining effect of this method is suitable for his current situation. Xie Fengtang has never practiced the method of returning to the original state after nine deaths, or even the phaseless golden body. Therefore, even if he is cut open and examined, it is impossible. Find out what tricks.
At this moment he threw out the method of returning to the original state after nine deaths. Xie Fengtang was also shocked and stared at him blankly: "So you went to Tiger Roaring Valley every day last month just to experience this life and death struggle?"
"Yes!" Tang Jie replied.
The trip to Tiger Roaring Valley combined with the nine-death return method perfectly solved all the problems and gave the most reasonable answer. It not only explained the reason for Tang Jie's rapid improvement in strength, but also explained why he did what he did. Frequently go to Tiger Roaring Valley.
"But how did you memorize this spell in the first place?" Xie Fengtang was puzzled. There are so many spells in the Shenxiao Sword Canon, why did you just remember this death-seeking spell?
"Because this method is simple. There was not enough time at the time, so the students could only try to find simpler skills and memories. Only later did they realize that this was a method of returning to the origin after nine deaths." Tang Jie lied without blushing. Qian Chuan: "Now that I have memorized it, if I don't learn it and use it, how can I be willing to do it?"
"Absurd! You simply don't care about life and death. You are lucky to be alive until now!" After hearing Tang Jie's answer, Xie Fengtang became furious and pointed at Tang Jie's nose and cursed. Although he was reprimanding, the reprimand contained more concern than anger: "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this?"
"As the director of the hospital said, behind every record on the record wall, there are countless opportunities, strengths, stories, and even blood and tears...Students have ordinary talents. If they want to make progress, they must not follow the ordinary path. Road."
Tang Jie's tone was calm, but hidden in this calmness was the awareness of seeing through life and death.
Although it is a lie that he practices the method of returning to one's origin after nine deaths, it is true that he can walk on the line of life and death with both sides. When it comes to dangers, the truth may not be much worse than practicing this method. So much so that at this moment, there was no pretense emotionally.
With Xie Fengtang's experience, he could naturally hear the bitterness and heaviness in Tang Jie's tone.
The perfect lie sometimes does not lie in the exquisiteness of the content, but more importantly in the skill of the performer. At this moment, Xie Fengtang no longer had any doubts about Tang Jie.
When he thought of Tang Jie taking risks in order to achieve something, Xie Fengtang couldn't help but sigh: "That's all, after all, it was because I didn't think carefully when I first taught the method. I will let Tianyi Pavilion remove this method in the future. It cannot be passed on to students. This method is too dangerous, so be it, you cannot practice this method again in the future, and I will give you some compensation."
"Yes!" Tang Jie replied respectfully.
Seeing Tang Jie's sincere attitude, Xie Fengtang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "No matter what, it is true that you set a new record in Tianyu Palace this time. According to the rules of the academy, you should be rewarded."
This was the purpose of Xie Fengtang calling him here.
According to the rules of the academy, those who reach full marks will be rewarded once, and those who break the record will be rewarded once.
The perfect score reward is a True Essence Pill, which is not very valuable and is equivalent to one hundred spiritual coins. After all, the perfect score is actually not too difficult for students, as long as they practice hard, they can always achieve it.
But the reward for breaking the record is much higher.
According to the rules of Xiyue Sect, those who can leave their names on the record wall of Seven Heavens Palace will be rewarded with ten pieces of spiritual jade by Xiyue Sect. At the same time, Xiyue Academy can issue additional rewards within the academy, which will be decided by the academy.
Ten pieces of spiritual jade are equivalent to ten thousand spiritual coins. This is also the largest reward that Tang Jie has received so far, but it was directly distributed by the Xiyue Sect.
This is not surprising, this kind of thing is like a student breaking the National Games record, and the city's Education Bureau gave a reward of 10,000 yuan, which is really not much.
As for the internal rewards of the academy, they are usually just mentioned and decided by the academy director.
After handing ten pieces of spiritual jade and the True Yuan Pill to Tang Jie, Xie Fengtang smiled and said: "The spiritual jade reward belongs to the sect. According to the rules, the academy has other rewards for you. You can think about it first Think about what you need."
Even for Xie Fengtang, breaking a record is an honor, a meritorious service, and a political achievement.
This is like having a celebrity in a certain school, and the whole school benefits from it.
Because of this, Xie Fengtang, who was famous as Xie Laoji, became generous again for the first time and even took the initiative to ask Tang Jie what he wanted.
Tang Jie quickly replied: "Students want to practice weaponry, but they suffer from insufficient resources."
"Qi Dao?" Xie Fengtang was stunned.
Xiyue Academy has a course on alchemy arrays, but the investment in learning it is not small.
Studying miscellaneous subjects requires additional tuition fees, and there are various consumption costs in between.
For example, to refine weapons, you need to buy materials at your own expense, to refine talismans, you need to buy talisman paper, books and ink, and to refine alchemy formations, there are a lot of materials. The academy provides all the materials, but they are all clearly marked. You can buy them yourself and refine them yourself. .
As for the refined items, they can be sold after being inspected by the college and confirmed to be qualified. The income belongs to the students themselves. However, it is only based on the students' ability. To make money from this will require a period of hard work.
Considering that the status of Qimen Miscellaneous Studies is not high, and the investment is huge and distracts energy, students are easily unwilling to study. Most of them are students with insufficient talent and some wealth who will try to take this path. .
So after hearing Tang Jie's request, Xie Fengtang was stunned for a moment. He frowned and said, "You have performed well in cultivation, so there is no need to learn these side subjects. ~IndoMTL.com~Beside the distractions Wu is a taboo in cultivation!"
Tang Jie smiled: "There are three reasons why students can perform as they do now. One is that the head of the college compensated the students for being frightened and gave some resources, the other is that they obtained the Shenxiao Sword Manual, and the third is that they returned to the origin after nine deaths. Law. But in retrospect, these things are irreversible. Students dare not place their hopes on chance encounters. After all, they are looking for a long-term solution."
"That's it." Xie Fengtang heard what he said and it made sense.
Tang Jie's current strength does have some factors of chance, but in the final analysis, he is only the fifth rank of Yumen. If there are no new opportunities in the future, sooner or later you will still fall behind others.
In this case, he naturally has to find ways to improve himself.
It’s just that although miscellaneous studies can make money, it also delays cultivation. Whether it is because of quick gains or if it is harmful to oneself depends on each person.
At this moment, he only thought about it briefly, then nodded and said: "In that case, you can practice Qi Dao without taking the exam, and you will be free of tuition. However, it depends on people. If you see that you don't have this talent, it is better to give up early."
The annual tuition fee for miscellaneous items is 200 qian, which is 2,000 yuan in ten years.
The reward given by Xie Fengtang to Tang Jie was not bad. This was because Xie Fengtang liked him more, and because of his status, he could be so generous. For another person, he might not be so generous.
After all, the real reward for breaking the record is ten pieces of spiritual jade, and the academy's internal rewards are just incidental.
As if this was not enough, Xie Fengtang added another sentence: "Since I asked you to stop practicing the Nine Death Return Method, I have to make some compensation. Just go to Lingtai Pavilion to get a middle-grade magic weapon."
"Thank you, Master, for the generous gift!" Tang Jie replied loudly.
Being able to exchange a spell that I never planned to learn for a middle-grade magic weapon is a very worthwhile purchase!
Oh, I said at the beginning that I would have just remembered four and a half doors.
Tang Jie thought greedily.
