Chapter 326: How Dare I Ask for Any Reward
Scritch, scritch, scritch.
The little golden butterfly lay curled up in Chu Liang’s palm, wanting very sleepy. Chu Liang stored poking its tiny fleshy head together with his finger. In response, the little creature used its two giant wings to wrap round its head, hoping to be left alone.
However Chu Liang continued to poke its chunky butt, so it wrapped its wings round its butt.
Then Chu Liang poked its head once more.
The little creature wriggled round, appearing coy.
Since reworking right into a butterfly, its intelligence had noticeably elevated, resembling that of some cats and canine. It acknowledged Chu Liang as its grasp and was often very affectionate with him.
Nevertheless, after gobbling that wish-fulfilling spirit treasured bottle final time, it had been sleeping within the White Pagoda, unconscious more often than not. This habits had occurred earlier than its earlier transformations, suggesting it’d quickly evolve once more.
But Jiang Yuebai’s phrases made Chu Liang really feel a bit cautious. Might this little creature actually be a Heaven-Devouring Bug?
In line with historic texts, the Heaven-Devouring Bug had appeared twice in historical past.
The primary time was in historic instances. Tens of hundreds of years in the past, when there have been solely seven realms within the cultivation system of this world, the Heaven-Devouring Bug instantly emerged and devoured its option to the seventh realm. Varied cultivators tried to entice and cease it, however nothing may comprise it. Lastly, many Eminent Ones joined forces to annihilate it.
The second look was three thousand years in the past when a demon god emerged, whose true type was this legendary Heaven-Devouring Bug.
Though demons had lengthy lifespans, they usually had very poor comprehension. After reaching the Heavenly Gate, they suffered vastly in achieving enlightenment. Previous to the emergence of the ninth-realm Heaven-Devouring Bug, no different demon had ever reached the ninth realm.
The explanation it grew to become a demon god was not by attaining enlightenment however by devouring every part in its path!
The primary two appearances of the Heaven-Devouring Bug brought on an awesome stir on the planet. This creature’s nature was to devour religious vitality, rising stronger so long as it continued to eat. It would not cease even after reaching the ninth realm. If it continued like this, it’d really destroy the world someday!
Unexpectedly, the third Heaven-Devouring Bug emerged from the rewards given by the White Pagoda.
Chu Liang regarded on the little white bug wriggling its butt in his palm and questioned, may this tiny creature actually destroy the world? To be protected, he thought, he ought to instantly hand over this younger Heaven-Devouring Bug to the sect and have them kill it immediately.
However…
Taking a look at its chubby physique appearing all coy with him, and remembering the way it had saved him a number of instances and helped him rather a lot, he could not carry himself to do it.
Venerable Wen Yuan had met numerous folks in his life, and solely three had this sort of presence.
“You spent one thousand Azure-Dragon cash to retrieve the Demon-Subduing Pestle for Mount Shu. That is one other important achievement,” he stated, smiling at Chu Liang. “What reward would you like?”
He genuinely requested Chu Liang as a result of he himself hadn’t selected a reward.
For disciples like Jiang Yuebai and Chu Liang, the Mount Shu Sect sometimes did not give many rewards.
Strange disciples would possibly go away Mount Shu when their cultivation plateaued, looking for new alternatives outdoors the sect.
However the high 4 of every Mount Shu Summit have been virtually assured the place of peak grasp, so long as they did not commit critical crimes and get expelled.
They have been destined to be a core a part of Mount Shu’s future, sharing each its fortunes and misfortunes. Thus, the sect’s assets have been absolutely out there to them, and their deserves would not earn a lot further reward.
The month-to-month stipend of a number of thousand sword cash was sufficient to alternate for all of the cultivation assets wanted on the Corridor of Weapons and Corridor of Alchemy. The Corridor of Conservation was freely accessible, representing the sect’s full help.
Nevertheless, there have been at all times exceptions. Chu Liang’s expenditure of 1 thousand Azure-Dragon cash this time was completely essential. If there wasn’t any further reward, Venerable Wen Yuan himself would really feel uncomfortable.
Chu Liang sat down and stated with a smile, “Sect chief, it is true that I spent one thousand Azure-Dragon cash, however with out the seven thousand supplied by the sect beforehand, that thousand would not have completed something. Similar to if it weren’t for the nice deserves of the Weapons Grasp and Peak Grasp Tan Taijing, my efforts would not even be price mentioning. I’m simply part of Mount Shu, like them, so how dare I ask for any reward?”
“They’ve made important contributions to the Mount Shu Sect and can certainly be compensated sooner or later,” Venerable Wen Yuan laughed. “If there’s something you need, do not be shy. Inform me and I will see if I can fulfill it.”
“Though Mount Shu has retrieved the Demon-Subduing Pestle this time, we’ve spent quite a lot of sword cash, so assets shall be tight for some time. How can I ask for something?” Chu Liang smiled shyly after which turned his hand to take out a big scroll. “So, I wrote a plan with a couple of proposals for the sect chief to think about.”
With that, Chu Liang instantly stood up, unfurled the scroll in mid-air, and started explaining it to Venerable Wen Yuan.
“The primary proposal is a reasonably commonplace compensation plan,” Chu Liang acknowledged confidently. He stood straight, going through Wen Yuan with a professionally spirited smile, his left hand pointing sideways and his proper hand resting on his waist.
“You possibly can think about the 100 thousand sword cash I supplied for the sect as a mortgage, which I name the legendary artifact mortgage. The sect can select a three-year time period with an rate of interest of three%, which suggests there can be three thousand sword cash of curiosity every year; a five-year time period with an rate of interest of three.5%, including three thousand 5 hundred sword cash of curiosity every year; or a ten-year time period with an rate of interest of 4%, including 4 thousand sword cash of curiosity every year.”
“In mild of my deep affection and bond with Mount Shu Sect, if the compensation is made inside one yr, the curiosity could be waived,” Chu Liang added generously.
“…”
Venerable Wen Yuan regarded on the densely written and thoroughly illustrated scroll and recalled Chu Liang’s earlier phrases. “How dare I ask for any reward?”
This child is basically one thing, Venerable Wen Yuan thought. As anticipated of Di Nufeng’s disciple…
