Chapter 136 Registration
"In addition, after the trial, if you rank fifth, each person will be rewarded with 30 top-grade spirit stones. If you rank fourth, each person will be rewarded with 60 top-grade spirit stones. If you rank third, each person will be rewarded with 80 top-grade spirit stones. If you rank second, each person will be rewarded with 100 top-grade spirit stones. If you rank first, each person will be rewarded with 200 top-grade spirit stones. Even if you are unlucky enough to get last place, there will be no reward or punishment, and no one will be held accountable."
"So this is the real theme of the banquet." Mu Changsheng sighed in his heart.
However, no one dared to stand up and express their opinion at this time. Just think about it, since it is a major event concerning the six countries, each country will do its best to select the strongest Jindan early stage cultivator. At that time, the trial and fighting will definitely be extremely brutal, and it will not be like Feng Ze said lightly: there is a risk to your life.
No matter how good a top-grade spirit stone is, you still need a life to get it.
At this moment, Feng Li was the first to stand up and express her opinion. She held the purple sword and clasped her fists, saying seriously: "Father, I am willing to go."
If you wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Feng Li has never thought of escaping her responsibilities as a princess.
Feng Ze clapped his hands and laughed: "Well, you are worthy of being my daughter, you are so courageous."
Fengze's laughter was more like a humiliation to the men present, but they were still hesitating and struggling. On one hand, there were the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and massive spirit stone rewards, and on the other hand, there were unknown dangers to their lives. Who would dare to be careless?
Feng Ze saw this, but was neither angry nor annoyed, and continued to wait. This kind of thing must be voluntary, otherwise it would be better not to go.
The second person to stand up was Shen Qianliu. He had missed out on the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, and his family did not have any extra Nine Revolutions Golden Pills for him to use. However, the most important reason was that his ancestor, Duke Shen Xu, had specifically talked to him about this matter. The Shen family had to send someone to handle such a major event, and this was also the responsibility and obligation of the Duke's family.
With the Shen family setting an example, the Xue family and the Bai family were not willing to lag behind. Xue Shaoyang and Bai Kunyu stepped forward to express their opinions.
Next is Song Zhi. There is no need to explain her reasons.
Then, Jiang Yuheng, Ximen Lie, Lan Kuohai and others also stood up, which showed the attraction of the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill.
Mu Changsheng, who had remained silent all this time, slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Mu Xun became anxious. He didn't understand why Mu Changsheng had to stand up. They had no shortage of Nine-Transformation Golden Pills.
Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly at Mu Xun, signaling him not to stand up. Mu Xun was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak out. After all, this was in front of the king, and he couldn't say anything to dissuade him.
At the first seat, Feng Ze saw Mu Changsheng standing up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Well, who said that my country of Shenfeng has no one? I have seen your desire to serve the country. Come on, bring the spirit stones and elixirs."
Following Feng Ze's order, several golden-armored guards came in one after another and delivered boxes of spirit stones to Mu Changsheng and others.
In front of Song Zhi and the others, in addition to a box of spirit stones, there was also a Nine-Revolution Golden Pill. In front of Mu Changsheng were two boxes of mid-grade spirit stones. There were 100,000 spirit stones in one box, and 200,000 spirit stones in two boxes.
At the same time, the golden-armored guards also brought an oath, which meant that if they took the spirit stone, they would need to work for the Kamikaze Kingdom for the next four months and be under the control of the king, Fengze. If they violated the oath, their body and soul would be destroyed.
There is no doubt that this is the oath of the Heart Demon Oath. Only by taking the Heart Demon Oath can one be qualified to take the spirit stone. Mu Changsheng's eyes were firm and he did not hesitate. He immediately took the Heart Demon Oath according to the content of the oath.
Seeing this, Mu Xun, who was standing by, couldn't help but tighten his sword-holding hand. Having made a great oath to his inner demons, there was no room for regret.
Except for Mu Changsheng, several people also swore a great oath to their inner demons. Now that they stood up, there was no chance for them to retreat.
Feng Ze saw that Mu Changsheng and the others had already sworn the Great Heart Demon Vow, so he took the spirit stone and said with a smile: "Very good, you nine people have three months to prepare. During these three months, you can live in the palace courtyard, and you can use all the training conditions in the palace to your heart's content."
"Three months later, the nine of you plus the few Jindan early stage cultivators that I secretly trained will go through a round of screening to select the five people who will represent our Shenfeng Nation in the battle."
"Yes, sir." Mu Changsheng and others obeyed.
"Let the banquet continue, keep playing music, and keep dancing." Feng Ze gave the order.
As the banquet continued, Mu Xun secretly came to Mu Changsheng and couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to go?"
Mu Changsheng had his own unique opinion: "You were right not to sign up, because you are different from me. You practice swordsmanship and only focus on practicing and understanding swordsmanship, while my body training and talisman training consume a lot of resources. I lack spirit stones, now and in the future. It is very likely that I will never encounter such an opportunity again, so I must seize this opportunity."
"Even if I might die!"
Mu Changsheng's last sentence was eye-opening, showing Mu Xun his determination to seek the truth until his death.
Of course, Mu Changsheng was not really ready to die. He had the confidence to sign up. After his physical body reached the third of the nine transformations, Mu Changsheng's strength underwent a qualitative change. Although he could not say that he was invincible at the same level, he still had a good chance of saving his life.
Mu Xun remained silent, as if he was ashamed of himself and didn't know what to say. If he didn't have the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, he might have taken the risk and made the same choice as Mu Changsheng, but having already achieved the Ninth-Rank Golden Pill, he didn't want to take the risk at all.
"Then what about your parents?" Mu Xun asked again.
"They will understand me." Mu Changsheng said firmly: "However, there is no need to tell them about this and make them worry about me."
Then, Mu Changsheng said: "Also, I will go home with you, and you must keep it a secret for me."
"I will keep it a secret for you." Mu Changsheng had finished speaking, and Mu Xun didn't know what to say. He could only silently wish that this good friend would be able to turn danger into safety.
Afterwards, Mu Xun returned to his seat in a state of despair. Feng Li saw all of this, and she raised her glass to Mu Changsheng, smiling and saying, "In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms."
Obviously, Mu Changsheng's willingness to stand up made Feng Li feel quite surprised and favorable.
Seeing this, Mu Changsheng smiled and raised his glass, saying, "I will definitely work hard to become a comrade that will satisfy Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Afterwards, the banquet ended, the guests and hosts left, and Mu Changsheng and nine others were taken to the palace villa by golden-armored generals and a group of golden-armored guards.
On the way, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to ask the golden-armored general: "Senior, I have something to ask, can I go home to visit my parents?"
As soon as Mu Changsheng finished speaking, Song Zhi beside him also said: "I want to go home too."
Perhaps Mu Changsheng and the other two had stirred up everyone's emotions, and Jiang Yuheng and others also spoke up and asked to go home.
The golden-armored general coughed, quieting everyone down, and then he slowly said, "The king had anticipated this a long time ago, and has allowed you to go home, but I still want to remind you that no matter how good your conditions are at home, they cannot compare to the training conditions in this imperial palace. It is better to practice more here."
Afterwards, the golden-armored general distributed a golden token to each of the eight people and said, "With this token, you can enter and leave the palace and the other courtyards. You can also use this token to buy various spiritual items you need in the palace treasury. The price is at least 30% lower than outside. This is also a special treatment for you."
"Also, don't even think about buying any kind of mass destruction spiritual weapon or something like that. The rules of the trial and the competition are the same in one thing, which is that you cannot use external forces."
Mu Changsheng accurately refined the key points, and the price in the treasure house was 30% lower than outside, which could save a lot of spirit stones.
After entering the courtyard, the golden-armored general assigned a room to each of them, and then said: "The rooms you live in are all made of ambergris, which can calm people's minds. The effects of meditating, practicing, refining talismans and making formations in them are better. Moreover, this kind of ambergris is extremely hard, so you can practice secret techniques in it without worrying about causing damage."
