Daoist Bai was also startled by the enthusiasm of these people. He didn't know he was so popular.
However, he didn't pay much attention. What relationship did he have with Dragon Tiger Mountain?
Before immortal cultivation became widespread, he wasn't in the Taoist Association. He was the Dao Master of White Stone Grotto-Heaven.
His master had said that his lineage was White Stone Grotto-Heaven.
He was more concerned about the rewards Chu Yang gave him.
The second prize was five top-grade spirit stones. Just the spirit stones alone could make him rich overnight!
Currently, the market value of top-grade spirit stones was ten million, and they were completely out of stock. Only a small amount of medium-grade spirit stones were circulating in the market.
Chu Yang said to Bai Nianchen, "Daoist Bai, when it comes to state of mind, I am least worried about your accumulation. When it comes to talent, as a innate Dao body, you have few rivals in this era. You are also cultivating an immortal-grade technique. If I were to guide you, there isn't much I can offer."
Bai Nianchen smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. The wise are the teachers. You must have something to teach this humble Taoist!"
"I recall that Daoist has a good understanding of formations."
"Ah, that was perfected from the ancient texts passed down by my master. This humble Taoist does not know if it is correct."
"In fact, for the cultivation world, formation masters are also an indispensable profession. Although it takes some time to prepare before setting up a formation, once the formation is formed, it can cause great destructive power!"
"There are many types of formations, such as those for gathering spiritual energy, those for killing, defensive ones, and illusionary ones. And in this world, there has not yet appeared a true formation master."
Bai Nianchen scratched his head and said, "Brother Immortal, do you think this humble Taoist is suitable to be a formation master?"
"Naturally, because no one is more suitable than you. Formation master is just a副职业 (side profession), and formations are merely auxiliary combat means. And the gift I have chosen for you is a powerful formation—the Four Symbols Annihilation Heaven Formation!"
A golden scroll fell into Bai Nianchen's hand.
"The Four Symbols Annihilation Heaven Formation borrows the rhymes of heaven and earth to gather the spirits of the Four Symbols to help you kill enemies. It is an unadulterated killing formation. As your strength increases, the power of the Four Symbols Annihilation Heaven Formation will also become stronger. When you reach a certain level of power, this formation can slay immortals!"
Bai Nianchen's pupils contracted, and he solemnly put away the golden scroll.
He bowed to Chu Yang: "This humble Taoist will surely slay the evil race under the heavens in the future!"
"I believe Daoist has the strength. You are all the hope of humanity!"
So far, the top ten people have received what suits them best, which fully demonstrates Chu Yang's thoughtfulness.
"So, as for who is the first place, I don't need to say more. He was the first one to patronize me when I was live-streaming selling cultivation techniques. He is also the first cultivator in this world besides me, and he is also the person with the best talent identified so far. He is—Li Qingyun!"
The first place always enjoys the most enthusiastic cheers.
The sound waves at the scene grew louder and louder, constantly calling out Li Qingyun's name.
"In this secret realm, he killed a total of twenty-four third-order demonic beasts, fifty second-order demonic beasts, and sixty-one first-order demonic beasts, accumulating a total of 233 points. First place is well-deserved!"
"Hiss—"
The crowd at the scene uniformly gasped in unison.
Killing twenty-four third-order demonic beasts, what the hell? Isn't that a bit too brutal?
The tenth-place Zhang Xiaohu couldn't even kill a second-order demonic beast. The difference was a bit frightening.
Looking at the radiant youth, the person who should have been her boyfriend was now basking in everyone's cheers, radiant.
"If our combined efforts were added, we could surpass him!" Chen Xiaohan gritted her teeth and said.
Meng Zibin squeezed Chen Xiaohan's hand tightly and said, "Calm down. Have you forgotten what Brother Immortal said just now? If you continue like this, you will suffer from qi deviation!"
"I haven't..."
"Using your labor results on yourself, such an achievement has no meaning. It's just self-deception! As long as you trust me, my future achievements will not be worse than his!"
"I... I trust you..." Chen Xiaohan said with great grievance.
...
Li Qingyun also stood before Chu Yang with excitement. This first place was the result of his hard work, and he felt at ease and had a clear conscience.
Chu Yang looked at the young man who was the first to buy his cultivation technique, and also the one whose talent he hadn't fully seen at first glance.
"Although I'd like to say something to discourage you and tell you to avoid complacency and arrogance, you are too perfect. You listen when you should listen, work hard when you should work hard, and know how to fight when you need to. Your adaptability on the battlefield, even without professional training, is better than most people."
"You are probably what people call 'other people's children.' Therefore, I am not worried about your cultivation. Even if you slack off a little, they won't be able to catch up to you easily."
Li Qingyun blushed a little at Chu Yang's praise. He felt that there were still many things he hadn't done well.
"In addition to ten top-grade spirit stones, I have also chosen a magical treasure for you."
Chu Yang extended his hand, and a seven-colored lotus flower appeared in his palm.
Immediately, five-colored divine light flickered in the sky, and the entire sky was shrouded in chaos, causing everyone to exclaim in amazement.
"I originally wanted to find a Saint Medicine or an Immortal Medicine for you, but I discovered this in the medicine garden. This item was also an Immortal Medicine, named [Great Dao Lotus]. After consuming it, it can allow one to enter a state of enlightenment. Mind you, it's enlightenment, not a sudden realization!"
"And because there are many similar Immortal Medicines in the medicine garden, under the influence of various Dao rhymes, it completed its transformation and became the [Chaos Divine Lotus], turning into a celestial artifact! A magical treasure that surpasses Saint artifacts, and only immortal realm powerhouses can unleash its maximum potential, can be called a celestial artifact! Do you know how precious this is?"
Li Qingyun was stunned. He couldn't even speak.
He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he was receiving a celestial artifact. This... isn't this a bit too hasty?
"Of course, it's not something you can use directly. After you refine it, it can nourish you within your body. The Dao rhymes it emits will slowly influence you. When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you should be able to take it out and play with it."
This time, Chu Yang did not deliberately conceal anything. He introduced the [Chaos Divine Lotus] to make people envious, to let them know that as long as they are willing to work hard, Chu Yang will not be stingy with rewards!
Luo Xiaowei looked at the [Candle Dragon Burning Heaven Sword] in his hand and immediately felt a sense of anticlimax.
"I'm not envious at all! I think that lotus flower of his only has good special effects. To talk about appearance, it's still my Candle Dragon Burning Heaven Sword! Don't you think so, Xiaoxiao?"
"Can you wipe your drool before you say that?"
