Chapter 530: Chapter 478: The Crowded Arrival, Pei Xuanjing’s Gift

Not only the pseudo-Master Martial Artists summoned, but also several third-grade Master Martial Artists and first and second-grade Martial Artists, except for a few who were genuinely unable to get away due to business, all the rest arrived here as soon as possible.

After all, even though they are all in Tiandu, opportunities to encounter the Sect Leader in person were indeed scarce, and they were reluctant to miss them.

Thus, when the time came, Pei Xuanjing found that there were twice as many people here as he had anticipated when he arrived at the training field for martial arts practice led by Xin Quanyang.

In addition to those pseudo-Master Martial Artists, there were numerous first and second-grade Martial Artists, and even some audacious fourth-grade Martial Artists who were loitering outside the martial arts practice field, occasionally casting their glances in anticipation of potential benefits.

Seeing this, Xin Quanyang’s heart tightened and cold sweat began to form on his forehead, fearing that the Sect Leader would reprimand him for mishandling the situation due to the large number of people showing up. He was about to send them away when Pei Xuanjing stopped him.

“Oh, never mind, their presence does no harm. Let them listen in as well, it will be beneficial.” The gentle voice of Pei Xuanjing rang out.

Originally he intended to conduct the experiment using these pseudo-Master Martial Artists, but he didn’t expect other Martial Artists to join in as well for the excitement.

Understanding quickly his drawing power and why these people had arrived, Pei Xuanjing did not find fault with them but allowed them to stay.

The words of Pei Xuanjing clearly fell into the ears of all the Martial Artists present. Some people who came without an invitation were initially worried about being criticised by Pei Xuanjing, but now they relaxed upon hearing his approval.

“Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader True Person.” The self-invited first-grade Martial Artists led the rest of the Martial Artists to bow to Pei Xuanjing in gratitude.

“It’s alright, please take your seats!”

Pei Xuanjing flicked back his robe, and a gentle force lifted up hundreds of people in the field. He then started to speak with a smile on his face.

Then he flicked his fingers; countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi converged and formed hundreds of meditation cushions on the practice martial arts field.

Hiss!

Everyone was amazed by this simple move from Pei Xuanjing, showing stunned expressions on their faces.

Upon hearing his words, they immediately took their places honestly, sitting on the meditation cushions formed by the Heaven and Earth essence Qi.

Although Martial Artists of the first and second grades should be seated in the front row, they were aware they had come without an invitation. The real focus was the pseudo-Master Martial Artists summoned by the Sect Leader, so they voluntarily left the front seats empty for questioning by the Sect Leader.

Pei Xuanjing waited for everyone to sit down, then stepped onto the commanding podium in front of the martial arts practice field. As he descended, a six-color spectrum of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi meditation cushion naturally formed behind him.

At this moment, although there were hundreds of people in the field, it was utterly silent. All eyes were on Pei Xuanjing, waiting for him to speak.

Pei Xuanjing’s voice rang out in the field, clearly entering everyone’s ears: “As an uncultured person, I have been fortunate enough to come this far. Although I have rebuilt the Shenxiao Sect’s lineage, management is not my strength. All the affairs have been handed over to all of you, and for this truly hard work, let me first express my gratitude.”

“The True Person Sect Leader is being too modest. These are our responsibilities. Without the protection of the Sect Leader, we would not be who we are today. Please, do not say such things, otherwise we would be extremely embarrassed.”

Upon hearing that Pei Xuanjing had spoken such words, they were all shocked and moved. Immediately, a first-grade Martial Artist began to speak.

Once this first-grade Martial Artist began to speak, the rest of the Martial Artists also joined in, all expressing their gratitude towards Pei Xuanjing. Nobody had any resentment close to Pei Xuanjing.

This world differs from the one in Pei Xuanjing’s former life; in the Great Ming World, martial arts are supreme and the strong are revered. As a powerful figure, Pei Xuanjing naturally enjoys countless privileges and holds a supreme status.

His existence, in fact, provides shelter for these people. Because of Pei Xuanjing, the Shenxiao Sect was able to rebound from the brink of destruction by the Great Ming imperial court, and return to its peak, becoming one of today’s top superpowers in the world.

It can be said that while Pei Xuanjing could abandon the Shenxiao Sect, the Shenxiao Sect could absolutely not survive without the existence of Pei Xuanjing.

These people had benefited greatly from Pei Xuanjing’s generosity, and anyone with even a shred of conscience would feel deep gratitude towards him, with no resentment whatsoever.

Pei Xuanjing slowly shook his head.

He was not a greedy and ignorant capitalist, feeling that everyone’s contribution was a given. Seen from a manager’s perspective, he indeed let go of the steering wheel in the Shenxiao Sect. The current power of the Shenxiao Sect was due to these people’s hard work and struggle. He couldn’t turn a blind eye to that and feel that others should take risks for him. This would mean he really had no boundaries at all.

He raised his hand to stop their words, saying, “No need to argue about this. As a Sect Leader, I, providing shelter for all of you is my duty. And my being deficient in managing you is a fact that need not be denied. Therefore, I decided that after today, all disciples of the Shenxiao Sect can select a skill or martial art technique of the same grade from the Scripture Pavilion, as a reward from me.”

“Thank you, Sect Leader True Person!”

Hearing this great news, everyone immediately expressed their gratitude.

The Scripture Pavilion of the Shenxiao Sect houses countless skills. The ones Pei Xuanjing collected and refined may not have been practiced by him directly, but as long as the skill was not bad, he had included them all.

However, according to the rules of the Shenxiao Sect, besides the right to choose a skill or martial technique after breaking through a big realm, other skills and martial techniques are technically not restricted but need to be traded for a certain number of Sect contribution points.

While low-level skills were acceptable, the semi-lost skills or lost skills inside the sect needed a significant amount of contribution points, and gaining these skills required a lot of effort.

Now that the Sect Leader had spoken, it meant that they could save quite a few contribution points, equating to acquiring an additional suitable skill or martial technique. How could they not be happy?

Pei Xuanjing smiled at these people, not rushing.

Since he had decided to place all the skills in the Taoist Academy for Martial Artists from all over to exchange and learn, it was better to give some benefits to his own disciples first. After all, strictly speaking, these people were his staunchest supporters.

Waiting for the excitement of these people to subside, Pei Xuanjing continued to speak: “The real reason I, gathered all of you here today I presume you all have speculated on by now.”

Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, those first-grade Martial Artists, second-grade Martial Artists, and others who had comprehended the true meaning of Martial Arts were quite composed. However, the pseudo-Master Martial Artists of the third-grade and fourth-grade Martial Artists about to ascend to the next level, were excited. If not for the circumstances, they would have blurted something out straightaway.
