Chapter 19: Spirit Mountain
The rules of the Shen family's outer courtyard are rewarded for meritorious service, and punishment must be imposed for mistakes.
This rule is also valid for outsiders.
Even when exchange students from the Holy Sect's Third Academy come to study in the Outer Academy, it is not uncommon for them to be physically punished because they do not meet the standards of the Outer Academy. For example, the dean of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, Queen Du, was punished in public until she lost consciousness, and the face of the eldest lady of the Sword Academy was gone.
Therefore, by the same token, the Qingyun Li family naturally has no reason to be an exception.
As a big winner of the pain tolerance training, Wang Jiu and his party naturally won the reward of this day.
On the podium, Shen Herong faced nearly a hundred elites of the Shen family with an iron face, and after sneering a few times, he said: "First of all, I want to congratulate everyone here, that's right, everyone!" I would like to congratulate the Li family for successfully winning the star award from the outer courtyard. The tradition of the outer courtyard is that meritorious service must be rewarded, so it will never be stingy in terms of reward. At the same time, I would also like to congratulate the rest of the Shen family, you have successfully made a few outsiders step on your nose to get this reward, opening a precedent for the Shen family's outer courtyard for hundreds of years! Everyone present, including me, will go down in history, and the history of the Shen family must be indispensable to these few strokes, congratulations! β
In the audience, nearly 100 young people and girls of the Shen family were ashamed and indignant.
Indeed, this is really a shame that the Shen family has not had in recent hundreds of years. The outer courtyard of the Shen family, but it is a real gold-lettered signboard, and the degree of dazzling shine is not much better than that of even the Holy Sect of Heavenly City, and the most precious point of this signboard is that it is not stained with dust!
The outer courtyard of the Shen family has welcomed countless guests for hundreds of thousands of years, but whether it is the envoy of the Holy Sect, the exchange students of the three courtyards, or the geniuses from other families, according to the rules of the Shen family, they have never defeated the Shen family in the outer courtyard of the Shen family.
Such an undefeated record is precious, and it can even be said to be a priceless historical legacy. This ongoing unbeaten streak will only get rarer as time goes on.
And once the undefeated are defeated, then the previous glorious history will be immediately forgotten.
Therefore, even for a force like the Seven Great Families, a golden signboard that has never been defeated is a priceless treasure.
Shen Herong condescendingly examined the expressions of the people in the audience, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, these children, who have lived and trained in the outer courtyard since they were young, are still naΓ―ve in their temperament, even though they are talented and powerful. It's easy to fool around.
This is the advantage of closed training, although these children also have a variety of channels to contact the outside world, such as specific holidays, books and magazines, etc., but the long-term fixed social circle, surrounded by friends with similar views, will make their thinking continue to tend to be simple, what the instructor says, they believe.
In fact, the Shen family's golden signboard, where could it be so easy to be broken?
If it was so easy to be stained with dust, then in the long history of hundreds or thousands of years, this signboard would have been smashed to pieces, and it would have to wait until today?
In the family history materials that Shen Herong could see alone, the number of times he was slapped in the face in the outer courtyard was no less than double digits.
Just like the Scripture Pavilion of some martial arts masters, it must have been patronized and looted by some thieves, no matter how bright the signboard is, it can't stand up to hundreds of thousands of years of bizarreness.
The point is, as long as you don't let anyone else know, even if you can't hide it, it's okay to have a glamorous excuse to cover up the past.
For example, today's incident, although the Li family took the next city by surprise, but after all, the strongest people in the outer courtyard of the Shen family were not present, and the Li family can be described as victorious, even if it is taken out to publicize it, the Shen family can also scoff at today's achievements.
However, it is good to use it to boost morale.
Seeing that the eyes of the young people in the audience had already lit flames, Shen Herong no longer stimulated them, and instead explained to Wang Jiu and the others the star awards in the outer courtyard.
This is also a glorious tradition that has been inherited for hundreds of years in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, which seems to be glamorous, but in essence it is a strict and cruel elimination system.
Star commendation refers to the fact that the instructors of the outer courtyard select several disciples with particularly outstanding performance every day and give special rewards. However, the first reward can be vacant, and if the instructor thinks that the crowd is generally underperforming, the star award of the day will be omitted. In addition, there are rewards, corresponding punishments, instructors will select the worst performers from more than 100 people for punishment, even if this time all the staff play exceptionally, but as long as someone has relatively poor results, they will also be taken out and punished. If the results are particularly poor, there is a risk of directly opening the door.
According to statistics, the ratio of star awards and punishments issued by the Shen Family's Outer Court over the years is about one to five. Moreover, as long as the star award is won once, the instructor's evaluation criteria for the winners will become stricter and more selective, so for most of the students in the outer courtyard, the star award is really ironic. And even the elites of the outer courtyard like Shen Feihong and Shen Feihu can only guarantee that they will not be punished by the instructor, and the star reward can only be fate.
"Therefore, for you outsiders, it is really not easy to get the award from our Shen family's outer courtyard. Our rewards come in three forms. The first is the special grant, as long as there are not extremely special circumstances, the person who has been rewarded can directly get the right to go out for 2 days. β
Hearing the word vacation, the teenagers in the audience couldn't help but show envious expressions. The Shen family's outer courtyard conducts closed training, and the disciples have almost no freedom at all, and even their parents and relatives can only take the initiative to visit when they want to meet during the training. And celebrity awards, such free holidays that ignore almost any schedule, are really precious to these young people.
"However, for you outsiders, the right to leave should not mean much. The second reward is much simpler, spirit stones, elixirs, and magic weapons, as long as they are within the specifications, they can be exchanged directly. Judging from the performance of a few people today, they can get a reward worth a thousand spirit stones. β
As a theoretical daily reward, the reward of 1,000 spirit stones can be said to be exceptional, and the entire savings of many low-level casual cultivation and cultivation life are only 1,000 spirit stones, and even the daughters of some of the seven great families have been troubled by money, and they are miserable all day long.
However, for the Li family's envoys, this kind of daily reward is meaningless, with the current ability of the civet idol to collect money, as long as a few sets of limited-edition signed albums are sold, the spirit stone is like a surging river.
"Then, you should be interested in the third reward, a day trip to Lingshan."
Hearing this, Li Wanqing couldn't help blinking her eyes: "Lingshan? It can't be that spiritual mountain......"
Shen Herong said: "Of course it's that spiritual mountain, where is there a second spiritual mountain in the world?" β
ββ¦β¦ Then this reward is really luxurious. Li Wanqing couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Jialing Mountain is a blessed land inherited from the ancient flood era, and it is said that it is a cultivation cave opened up by a certain Shen family in the flood era. Among them, the aura of heaven and earth is endless, rich and pressing, and the laws in the cave are mysterious, and there is the wind of ancient floods. The Shen family monks practiced in it, not only did the true yuan grow extremely fast, and they were expected to break through the restrictions of the current Xiangzhou pattern and comprehend some ancient immortal methods.
In addition, such a treasure land, if it was only used for personal cultivation, it would be too wasteful, the Shen family has long developed Lingshan into a highly mature immortal cultivation base after thousands of years of persistent development. With the help of Lingshan's environmental advantages, the Shen family has built an all-in-one industrial park such as alchemy refining machine puppets, which can manufacture high-precision magic weapons and pills in batches. There is also a high-tech development zone, which continues to promote the Shen family's cutting-edge immortal cultivation technology. In addition, there is a retreat area for high-level people, where many Supreme Elders retreat all year round.
On the whole, Lingshan is undoubtedly the core area of the Shen family, and its importance is no less than the inner city where the Shen family's high-level people live on a daily basis.
Being able to enter Lingshan can be called a luxurious reward even for these young people of the Shen family in the outer courtyard, let alone the Li family, whose relationship has always been unharmonious?
For a while, Li Wanqing even doubted how much Hongmen Banquet was involved, because logically speaking, the Shen family really had no reason to be so generous.
Shen Herong said: "The rule of the outer courtyard is that meritorious service must be rewarded, and if you can get a star award with exceptional results, the reward should be luxurious." β
Li Wanqing made a decision on behalf of Wang Jiu: "Since this is the case, then let's choose the third item, it is also a rare blessing to be able to see the style of Shencheng Lingshan with our own eyes." β
Shen Herong said: "Okay, without further ado, I will apply for the Lingshan Pass." β
At the same time, Shen Herong also immediately contacted Shen Yueying and reported the matter as it was.
Shen Yueying immediately made a decision: "There is no problem, just take them to Lingshan to open their eyes, and the time does not have to be limited to one day, let them stay for two more days, and persist until Feihong and the others come back." β
