Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Rewards and Punishments Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Rewards and Punishments “There are still people from the Dong Family and the Zhou Family who have not arrived,” said the Jing Family Mansion supervisor, bowing to Jing Yan.
“What’s wrong with these two families?
Could it be that our Jing Family didn’t inform them?” Jing Yan frowned.
“The family sent someone to notify these two families yesterday,” the supervisor responded promptly.
Jing Yan, of course, knew that they had already notified the two families.
The reason he purposely brought it up was to make everyone present aware of this fact.
The Jing Family notified you to attend the meeting, but you didn’t come; that’s disrespecting the Jing Family.
Nowadays in Donglin City, whoever disrespects the Jing Family will have to pay a heavy price.
“The time has come,” Jing Yan glanced at the position of the sun, “let’s wait the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient.
We’ll wait for the people from the Dong Family and the Zhou Family the time it takes to drink a cup of tea,” Jing Yan said to everyone with a smile.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea!
The people of the Dong Family and the Zhou Family were still nowhere to be seen.
Actually, if the people from the Dong Family and the Zhou Family intended to attend the meeting, they would have arrived early.
Jing Yan knew this as well.
When he said they would wait the time to drink a cup of tea, he didn’t really expect that the people from the Dong Family and the Zhou Family would come within that time.
“Let’s not wait any longer, let’s start the meeting now,” Jing Yan shook his head.
Then, he took out a Sumeru Ring.
“Patriarch Liu!” Jing Yan called out in a low voice.
The Liu Family Patriarch stood up, stepped forward quickly, and came before Jing Yan, bowing deeply in respect.
“Patriarch Liu, a month ago during the war between our Jing Family and the Zhao Family, you led your family members and fought valiantly for the Jing Family.
Now, on behalf of the Jing Family, I would like to express our thanks to you and the Liu Family,” Jing Yan said with a smile to Patriarch Liu.
“This is what the Liu Family ought to do.
Without the Jing Family, there would be no Liu Family,” Patriarch Liu declared loudly.
“Mhm,” Jing Yan nodded, “Now, on behalf of the Jing Family, I am presenting your Liu Family with a substantial reward, in hope that the Liu Family can develop even better in the future.”
As he spoke, Jing Yan took out a Spirit Stone Gold Card from inside the Sumeru Ring.
“Patriarch Liu, there are two hundred thousand spirit stones in these two Spirit Stone Gold Cards,” Jing Yan handed over the Spirit Stone Gold Cards to Patriarch Liu.
Two hundred thousand spirit stones!
When the people present heard this figure, their expressions were visibly moved.
The Jing Family was really generous!
Their first act was to provide a whopping two hundred thousand spirit stones, a number that would make many small family powers envious.
For these smaller family powers, their annual surplus might only be a few tens of thousands of spirit stones.
But here, the Jing Family had awarded two hundred thousand spirit stones at once, a truly astronomical figure.
Patriarch Liu’s breath also caught slightly.
Just now, their families had been discussing whether the Jing Family’s reward to them would be one hundred thousand spirit stones.
A reward of one hundred thousand spirit stones would meet their expectations and would satisfy them.
But unexpectedly, the Jing Family had directly awarded two hundred thousand spirit stones.
In a quiet attempt to compose himself, Patriarch Liu took a deep breath and received the Spirit Stone Gold Cards into his hands.
“Thank you, Young Master Jing Yan.
Thank you, Jing Family,” said Patriarch Liu, sincerely.
Envious glances from all around fell on Patriarch Liu.
They knew the Jing Family had gained a huge bounty from this war, but whether the Jing Family was willing to share any of the spoils with others was another matter.
Frankly, even if the Jing Family did not give away a single dime, no one would dare complain.
With both the Zhao Family and the Cai Family having been wiped out, did they suppose that they were stronger than those two?
If they provoked the wrath of the Jing Family and the Jing Family decided to eradicate them without hesitation, they would have nowhere to seek justice.
“Here are also twenty Guiyuan Pills, twenty Revitalizing Pills, and twenty Detoxification Pills,” Jing Yan took out a Jade Box from the Sumeru Ring, handing it to Patriarch Liu while speaking.
Patriarch Liu was stunned.
Having received two hundred thousand spirit stones, he was already beyond thrilled.
With those spirit stones, the family’s days would instantly get much easier, enough for many members with good talent to make rapid advances in strength in a short period.
But what he hadn’t expected was for Jing Yan to bring out a total of sixty elixirs to give him.
The value of these sixty pills far surpassed two hundred thousand spirit stones.
Not only Patriarch Liu, but also the other family heads present were starstruck, their hearts racing.
If the two hundred thousand spirit stones merely made them envious, then these pills nearly drove them mad; they felt parched with thirst.
“This…” Patriarch Liu hesitated.
Of course, he wanted these elixirs, but the issue was, the amount was terrifying.
A rough estimate put the value of these pills at well over a million spirit stones.
A million spirit stones, what did that represent?
Patriarch Liu was worried that once he left the Jing Family Mansion, he might be robbed.
Although his strength was considerable, there were many others present whose strength surpassed his.
“Patriarch Liu, this is what your Liu Family deserves; please accept it,” Jing Yan urged with a tight-lipped smile.
A mere few dozen pills were nothing to Jing Yan.
“Yes!” Patriarch Liu accepted the Jade Box with trembling hands, vowing in his heart that from then on the Liu Family would follow the Jing Family with unwavering loyalty, never harboring a second thought.
“Patriarch Liu, here are also five bottles of Holy Spirit Potion, which are also a part of the reward this time,” Jing Yan took out five bottles of medicine before anyone could react.
These five bottles contained the Holy Spirit Potion, known for significantly increasing the chances for a Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artist to advance to the Innate Realm—a greatly coveted item.
The people of Donglin City were not unfamiliar with the Holy Spirit Potion, as it had been auctioned several times before at the Splendid Pill Tower.
Each appearance of the Holy Spirit Potion caused a frenzy.
Indeed, each bottle of Holy Spirit Potion represented nearly one-third of an Innate Realm Martial Artist.
In many of the families present, the entire family might have only one Innate Realm Martial Artist.
If they could have an additional Innate Realm Martial Artist, that would be incredibly significant.
A family with two Innate Realm Martial Artists was much more stable in their status.
Therefore, when Jing Yan handed over five bottles of Holy Spirit Potion to Patriarch Liu, all the family heads in the square were thunderstruck, and they all forgot to breathe.
Holy Spirit Potion was not something you could buy with spirit stones.
Previously, it had only been available at auctions at the Splendid Pill Tower; it was not available anywhere else.
As for the possibility of Jing Yan deceiving everyone, a brief consideration would suffice to know that this was simply not the case.
Jing Yan would definitely not deceive anyone, and there was no need for him to lie to everyone.
