Chapter 189 Rewards

"..."

This kid is actually playing tricks on me!

Tianhe Sect Master couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't continue to force Xu Mu.

"No matter what the reason is, if it's wrong, it's wrong!" Master Tianhe said in a stern tone.

"From now on, Lu Baiyu will be imprisoned in Tianfeng Stream. When will he truly correct himself and when will he be released! Lu Baiyu, can you accept the punishment?!"

"Disciple accepts punishment!" Lu Baiyu said respectfully.

"And you, too, will be punished if you fail to teach!"

The Tianhe Sect Master looked at the Divine Sword Peak Master.

"It all depends on the sect leader!"

"I will punish you by facing the wall for ten years. If any of the disciples of Shenjian Peak commit any crime again, you will be removed from all positions in the sect!"

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"

The Master of Divine Sword Peak bowed and saluted, then took Lu Baiyu to say goodbye and left.

"What's the difference between this punishment and no punishment! If you really change your mind, isn't that just what the elder said? Why face the wall for ten years? That's just the time of retreat in the Golden Core Stage! There are also rewards..."

Li Heng couldn't help but complain softly next to Xu Mu.

"Brother, be careful what you say!"

Xu Mu reminded him.

Since the Tianhe Sect Leader has already spoken, it is impossible to change it, especially in front of so many people. If Xu Mu insists on arguing, it will only make outsiders laugh.

Now that the deal was done, if he complained again, he would be asking for trouble. In the end, Li Heng could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.

"It would be great if Master is still normal!" Luo Qingchen sighed.

Tianhe Sect Leader dared to punish him like this not only because he wanted to keep Lu Baiyu as a genius, but also because Xu Mu had no backer and no one would stand up for him.

Speaking of Master Gufeng, Qi Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up. He approached Xu Mu and whispered: "Brother, why don't you join us at Luojian Peak? My master is a generous man and I will definitely not treat you badly!"

It turns out that other peaks don't want Xu Mu because they think his talent is not good because of his incomplete soul. However, judging from Xu Mu's results in the competition, there are almost no shortcomings except that his soul is incomplete and cannot advance to Nascent Soul. In the future, as long as he can advance to the late stage of Jindan , that is a lot of money.

After all, in this world, except for a small number of Nascent Soul stage monks, those in the late Jindan stage are already among the pinnacle figures, and they are also very important figures in the Tianhe Sect, enough to serve as the backbone of each peak.

"That's right, as long as you join us at Luojian Peak, senior sister will definitely take care of you every day from now on. As the saying goes, first come first, first get the moon, don't you think?" Qu Qingmeng approached Xu Mu and said in a seductive tone.

Gujian Peak is different from the other thirty-five peaks. It is a peak that the sect can freely leave by default. Even if Xu Mu agrees to join Luojian Peak, the rest of the sect will not say anything.

After all, Lone Sword Peak is already an empty shell, and it would be a waste to stay with Xu Mu's talent.

"no!"

Before Xu Mu could speak, Li Heng and Luo Qingchen couldn't sit still and refused in unison.

Xu Mu is Gu Jianfeng's only hope. If he leaves, Gujianfeng will have to wait for Master Gufeng to die of old age if he wants to rise.

"Two senior brothers and sisters, it's not like you don't know the situation at Gujian Peak, why bother delaying Senior Brother Xu's future!" Qi Yue said.

"..."

Luo Qingchen and the others looked ugly, but they were speechless.

"Senior Brother Xu, look?"

"Thank you for your kindness, junior brother, no need!"

Xu Mu smiled and shook his head in rejection.

It's not that he is nostalgic, but he just doesn't think it's necessary, because later there will be a lot of forces sending him resources, plus the rewards he gets, and the secret caves used for training. Whether he changes the mountain peak or not doesn't matter to him. Big, in this case why bother asking for trouble.

"Junior Brother Xu, you really don't think about it anymore!"

Qu Qingmeng was close to Xu Mu, exuding a faint fragrance.

"If senior sister is willing to be my Taoist companion, it's not impossible to consider it!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Dream! Humph!"

Qu Qingmeng's expression changed and he immediately refused.

"Then there's nothing I can do!" Xu Mu said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Qu Qingmeng glared at him and turned to leave.

She realized that Xu Mu was deliberately teasing her and had no intention of joining another peak.

Luo Qingchen beside him didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face turned slightly red.

"Senior brother, if you provoke Senior Sister Qu like this, aren't you afraid that she will settle a score with you?" Qi Yue asked curiously.

"Just come here. Am I still afraid of her as a woman? At worst, I'll teach her a lesson!" Xu Mu said nonchalantly.

"Brother, you are so brave! You have to know that sometimes a woman wants to cause trouble for you, and she may not need to do it herself." Qi Yue reminded.

"Well, what do you mean?"

"Anyway, be careful! I'm leaving first!"

Sensing Qu Qingmeng's unkind gaze behind him, Qi Yue hurriedly said goodbye and left.

By the time the rankings for the competition were completely decided, it was already three days later.

As the first placer, Xu Mu received a top-grade foundation building, a fifth-level offensive spiritual weapon, a fourth-level defensive magical weapon, ten high-grade spiritual stones, a one-hundred-year right to reside in a mysterious level cave in the secret realm, and a Ten thousand points of sect contribution value.

Next, it decreases in descending order.

Lu Baiyu was not present, and the sect also deliberately ignored the past to prevent the last incident from continuing to unfold.

Qu Qingmeng is the third one and has also obtained the right to live in the secret realm. Unfortunately, it is a yellow-level cave and it is only for fifty years.

The fourth place is even heavier, only ten years.

The fifth place only has the rewards of spiritual stones, spiritual weapons, and foundation-building pills.

After everyone's rewards were distributed, the lively sect competition came to an end.

After rejecting banquet invitations from multiple forces, Xu Mu and Luo Qingchen returned to Lone Sword Peak together.

Danu Erniu, who had received the news in advance, took out almost all the wealth of Gujianfeng and held a sumptuous banquet to celebrate Xu Mu's first place in the competition.

"You run so fast and don't even wait for me!"

Shang Yaoyao chased the three people to Lone Sword Peak openly.

As his status improved, Shang Lian's attitude towards him also changed obviously, and he no longer minded Shang Yaoyao's dealings with him.

However, Xu Mu is more willing to believe that Shang Lian has a backup plan and is not worried about what will happen to the two of them.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" Xu Mu laughed.

"After all, I am also a disciple of Gu Jianfeng. You won the first place in the competition, how could I not come! Besides, you are my little brother!"

Shang Yaoyao sat down carelessly and took out jar after jar of amber spirit wine from his storage bag.

"This is the nectar brew I asked for from my father. One jar costs fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. We won't go home until we get drunk today!"

"Fifty yuan of low-grade spiritual stones!! This is too expensive!" Li Heng said in shock.

Fifty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones were enough to cover his expenses for a month.

"I am happy today! This little spiritual stone is nothing!" Shang Yaoyao said angrily.

Xu Mu smiled and said nothing, only hoping that this girl would be so generous when she compensated him with the spiritual stone later.

The two of them had made a bet. If he won, not only would the contract be terminated, but all the spiritual stones won by the bet would also be given to him.

Luo Qingchen on the other side looked at the wine jars, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shang Yaoyao took out several exquisite white jade wine glasses from the storage bag. After filling them, he pushed them in front of several people with his magic power, and then raised the glasses to signal.

"Come! Let's drink to Junior Brother Xu!"

Shang Yaoyao raised his glass first and shouted loudly.

"cheers!"

Dan Niu and Er Niu raised their glasses and shouted excitedly without knowing why.

Xu Mu also raised his cup with a smile. Li Heng and Luo Qingchen looked at each other and also raised it.

Gudong!

After drinking the wine, there was a refreshing and sweet feeling. Xu Mu felt like he was drinking fruit drink rather than pure alcohol. However, as the wine evaporated in his stomach, a feeling of drunkenness came to his heart.

The power of this spiritual wine was beyond Xu Mu's expectation.

Although the spiritual wine in the world of cultivating immortals is only slightly stronger than the white wine in his previous life, he has perfected his qi training, and his qualities in all aspects are even better than ordinary foundation building. Logically speaking, he shouldn't feel drunk so quickly.

Xu Mu felt bright, this girl seemed to be well prepared.

"Come again!"

Shang Yaoyao didn't seem to notice the abnormality of the alcohol at all, and raised a glass to invite him again.

Xu Mu was not afraid. He wanted to see what kind of medicine this girl was selling in the gourd. The other four people rarely drank spiritual wine and did not realize that the wine was not strong. Plus, after one glass of wine, they already had three things in their heads. He was so drunk that he didn't even realize it. When he saw Shang Yaoyao raising his glass, he did the same.

As the night gets darker, the breeze blows through the rice fields, making a rustling sound. In the house, under the lights, a few people are still drinking one cup after another.

…

"hateful!"

The next day Shang Yaoyao woke up from a hangover and recalled what happened last night and couldn't help but curse.

She originally wanted to get Xu Mu drunk and find out more about him, so she took anti-alcohol pills in advance, but she couldn't drink Xu Mu down no matter what, and the last thing she realized was that she fell down first.

He raised his head and shook his groggy head, and looked around. It was still the same lobby where he was drinking. The big cow and the second cow were still Li Heng, and they were still lying on the ground sleeping soundly. Only Xu Mu and Luo Qingchen were nowhere to be seen.

Shang Yaoyao was shocked.

"Could these two people--"
