400: Process the treasure chest
"Yes, Sect Master."
Liu Shu acknowledged and respectfully exited the Main Hall, preparing to harvest enlightenment tea leaves to keep as a reserve.
As Jiang Chen's personal maid, she had no time to rest.
Seeing Liu Shu exit the Main Hall, Jiang Chen flashed and vanished from the spot, instantly appearing on the square.
"System, help me use all the dozens of epic treasure chests in my backpack." As soon as he appeared on the square, Jiang Chen commanded the System.
[Beep, opening fifty-eight epic treasure chests for the Host...]
[Beep, obtained fifty-eight great emperor peak summoning cards]
[Beep, obtained 2.3 billion Immortal Crystals]
[Beep, obtained eighteen enlightenment tea trees]
[Beep, obtained twenty-seven great emperor first level cultivation boost cards]
[Beep, obtained twenty-two Saint King Peak summoning cards]
[Beep, obtained fifteen dragon scale fruit trees]
[Beep, obtained sixteen ultimate dao emperor weapons...]
Following Jiang Chen's command, the System instantly opened the fifty-eight epic treasure chests.
Summoning cards and treasures appeared in his backpack one after another.
"Hehe, opening so many treasure chests at once is just so satisfying."
Seeing so many summoning cards and treasures suddenly appear in the System backpack, Jiang Chen beamed with joy.
Although these items were all from old actors and were no longer useful to him, they were still quite useful for the Qingtian Sect.
As long as these items were utilized well, the strength of the Qingtian Sect would increase by countless times, making it much easier to deal with the Demon Race outside the World Passage.
"System, help me use all the great emperor peak summoning cards and Saint King Peak summoning cards." After being happy for a while, Jiang Chen continued to command the System.
Since the treasure chests had all been opened, he had to start dealing with the items inside; he could not let them sit idle in his backpack.
[Beep, summoning Great Emperor Peak Experts and Saint King Peak experts for the Host...]
As the System's voice faded, a huge spatial rift suddenly tore open near the square.
Over fifty Peak Great Emperor and over twenty Saint King Peak experts stepped out from the spatial rift and came before Jiang Chen, kneeling and shouting.
"Subordinate, Zhang Meili!"
"Subordinate, Niu Xiang!"
"Subordinate, Liu Chunhua!"
"Subordinate, Yang Wei... pays respects to Sect Master!"
The eighty people knelt on the ground with pious expressions, waiting for Jiang Chen's instructions.
"Mm, rise."
Jiang Chen scanned the dozens of people and nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you, Sect Master!" The dozens of people thanked him in unison, then slightly lowered their heads and stood up respectfully.
"Big Saber, come to the square." Standing in place, Jiang Chen calmly called out to Li Big Saber, intending to have him come over and take the people to distribute Immortal Crystals for cultivation.
Just as Jiang Chen's voice fell, Li Big Saber instantly appeared before Jiang Chen, bowed, and said, "Subordinate Li Big Saber pays respects to Sect Master. I wonder what instructions Sect Master has?"
Jiang Chen took out 2 billion Immortal Crystals, packed them into a Storage Ring, and floated it before Li Big Saber, saying, "Big Saber, there are 2 billion Immortal Crystals in here. Take these Peak Great Emperor Elders to the Time Pagoda and distribute enough Immortal Crystals for them to Cultivate."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Li Big Saber grabbed the Storage Ring floating before him containing the Immortal Crystals, then turned to the group of Zhang Meili, Niu Xiang, and others, saying, "Everyone, please follow me."
"Subordinate, taking leave!"
The group bowed to Jiang Chen once more, then all followed Li Big Saber towards the Time Pagoda.
Watching the group leave, Jiang Chen did not linger on the square but walked towards the orchard, planning to plant the trees in his backpack before returning to the Main Hall to study tea ceremony and massage Moves with Liu Shu.
Beside the Qingtian Sect orchard.
When Jiang Chen arrived nearby, Zhu Heizi was lying on a chair, leisurely drinking enlightenment tea.
And beside him, the Yellow-Robed Elder who had just joined the Sect and been assigned here was pouring tea for him.
"Mm, Little Jin, you are truly blessed. You were assigned to such a relaxed position as soon as you joined the Sect. This Elder had to go through several job changes before getting this easy task."
Zhu Heizi picked up the enlightenment tea cup filled by the Yellow-Robed Elder, drinking leisurely while speaking to the Yellow-Robed Elder with an air of authority.
Hearing Zhu Heizi's words, the Yellow-Robed Elder beamed, continued to fill Zhu Heizi's cup with enlightenment tea, and then said flatteringly, "Hehe, this is all thanks to the Sect Master. In the future, I ask for Elder Zhu's guidance, please guide me more."
He hadn't expected to be assigned to the Qingtian Sect orchard.
After all, he was receiving a high salary of one Immortal Crystal per day, and now he had actually obtained a relaxed position guarding the orchard; this was simply allowing him to collect Immortal Crystals while playing around.
If he hadn't already slapped himself a few hundred times, he would have thought he was still in an illusion.
"Hehe, easy, easy. As long as you don't violate Sect rules and work hard, This Elder can still cover you on this piece of land in the orchard." Zhu Heizi grinned and happily drank the enlightenment tea that the Yellow-Robed Elder had filled.
Previously, he had been guarding the orchard by himself. Although it was leisurely and content, he always felt something was missing.
Now that this Yellow-Robed Elder had arrived, he had finally found what was missing: having someone to flatter him. It was truly satisfying.
"Oh, Heizi, who are you going to cover?"
After Zhu Heizi finished his last sentence, Jiang Chen walked to the orchard gate and asked with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Chen's voice.
Zhu Heizi trembled all over, rolled straight off the chair, then stood up, bent his waist, and replied with cold sweat on his forehead, "Re-reporting to Sect Master, this Subordinate is not covering anyone. This Subordinate is just passing on work experience to the new assistant."
After finishing, cold sweat poured down Zhu Heizi's forehead.
While he was leisurely bragging, he had actually been overheard by Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen disapproved of his demeanor, he would have to change jobs again.
After all, in the Qingtian Sect, only Jiang Chen could decide who to cover, and whoever he wanted to get rid of would be gotten rid of.
"Subordinate pays respects to Sect Master!" Seeing Jiang Chen appear, the Yellow-Robed Elder was also shocked, hurriedly putting down the enlightenment tea pot in his hand, and bowed with cold sweat on his forehead.
He knew the Sect issued Immortal Crystals for him to work.
Now he was here serving Zhu Heizi, pouring tea and water for him. If Jiang Chen didn't like it, he would be out of a job in a minute, and he might even be sent home.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. This Sect Master is just here to plant a few trees. You two continue discussing work."
Seeing the two of them sweating profusely, Jiang Chen replied with a smile and walked into the orchard.
Although Zhu Heizi's life was indeed a bit too leisurely, that was just how the orchard guard position was.
As a Sect Master, he couldn't demand too much from his Subordinates; as long as these people were loyal, that was enough.
"Phew!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't blame them and walked into the orchard.
Zhu Heizi and the Yellow-Robed Elder both let out long sighs of relief, standing respectfully in place, waiting for Jiang Chen to come out.
Although they were the people guarding the orchard, they couldn't enter casually when there was nothing to do, so they could only wait outside.
Inside the orchard, Jiang Chen took all the enlightenment tea trees and dragon scale fruit trees out of the System backpack and tossed them towards an empty space in the orchard.
"Boom! Boom!"
As soon as the dozens of enlightenment tea trees and dragon scale fruit trees touched the orchard ground, they rooted deeply into the soil, causing the entire orchard to shake.
"Holy crap! The Sect Master got so many enlightenment tea trees at once; from now on, we can drink enlightenment tea to our heart's content."
Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly take out dozens of enlightenment tea trees and plant them in the orchard, Zhu Heizi, standing outside the orchard, was filled with excitement.
Although as an Elder he had a daily quota of a few enlightenment tea leaves, it was never enough to drink.
Now that Jiang Chen had suddenly produced over twenty enlightenment tea trees, his daily quota of enlightenment tea would greatly increase, and he would never have to ration it again.
"Hiss, Sect Master, where did you get so many enlightenment tea trees and dragon scale fruit trees?"
The Yellow-Robed Elder was stunned and dumbfounded at this scene.
He knew that while there were some enlightenment tea trees and dragon scale fruit trees in the Xuantian World, there weren't many.
The number Jiang Chen had just produced, added to the amount the Qingtian Sect already had, was probably more than all the trees in the entire Xuantian World. He really couldn't understand where Jiang Chen had found so many enlightenment tea trees and dragon scale fruit trees.
After planting the enlightenment tea trees and dragon scale fruit trees, Jiang Chen did not stay long in the orchard. He quickly walked out of the orchard, preparing to return to the Main Hall to enjoy Liu Shu's service.
"Report to Sect Master, these are the consumption accounts for the orchard during this period. Please review them, Sect Master." Seeing Jiang Chen come out of the orchard, Zhu Heizi, following custom, took out the orchard accounts and handed them to Jiang Chen for review.
Scanning the accounts in Zhu Heizi's hands, Jiang Chen waved his hand and smiled, "No need to look. With you, Heizi, guarding here, This Sect Master is very reassured."
Having said that, he took out the dozen or so ultimate dao emperor weapons he had opened from the epic treasure chests from his backpack, floating them before Zhu Heizi, preparing to let Zhu Heizi choose one.
Although these weapons were not comparable to Immortal Artifacts, they were much stronger than those ultimate dao emperor weapons obtained from outside. Rewarding one to Zhu Heizi would also increase their combat power quite a bit if they went to war with the Demon Race in the future.
"Heizi, you've worked hard guarding the orchard during this time. Pick one of these ultimate dao emperor weapons." Jiang Chen looked at the ultimate dao emperor weapons floating before Zhu Heizi and said calmly.
"Ah! Th-thank you, Sect Master!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't check the accounts but instead took out over a dozen ultimate dao emperor weapons and let him pick one, Zhu Heizi hurriedly thanked him, flattered and surprised.
Last time he left the Alchemy position and handed over the crimson flame cauldron, he had been unwilling.
Now Jiang Chen was rewarding him with another ultimate dao emperor weapon; this happiness had come too quickly.
Zhu Heizi carefully examined the dozen or so ultimate dao emperor weapons of various shapes, finally letting his gaze settle on a golden axe. He then grabbed the axe and bowed to Jiang Chen, saying, "Report to Sect Master, this Subordinate will take this axe."
"Mm, since that's the case, this axe is rewarded to you." Jiang Chen nodded, put away the remaining ultimate dao emperor weapons, and then slowly returned in the direction of the Main Hall.
"Respectfully sending off the Sect Master!"
Seeing Jiang Chen leave the orchard, Zhu Heizi and the Yellow-Robed Elder both bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen's departing back.
However, the Yellow-Robed Elder's eyes were filled with envy.
The ultimate dao emperor weapon Jiang Chen had just rewarded to Zhu Heizi was stronger than any ultimate dao emperor weapon he had ever seen before.
Such a precious item, and Jiang Chen rewarded it just like that. Working in the Qingtian Sect is truly satisfying.
Seeing the Yellow-Robed Elder's envious look, Zhu Heizi, after finishing his bow, patted his shoulder and smiled, "Little Jin, don't be envious. As long as you work hard, the Sect Master will definitely not treat you unfairly."
The Yellow-Robed Elder came back to his senses and nodded with a beaming face, "Yes, yes, Little Jin will definitely work hard."
As the Yellow-Robed Elder said this, he immediately picked up the earlier enlightenment tea pot, poured a cup for Zhu Heizi, and handed it to him, fawning, "Come, come, Elder Zhu, please have some tea."
"Mm, not bad, not bad. You are very sensible." Zhu Heizi took the tea cup, drank the enlightenment tea in the cup in one gulp, and then praised the Yellow-Robed Elder.
"Hehe, being able to pour tea for Elder Zhu is Little Jin's honor. Elder Zhu, you should lie down and drink; standing is really too tiring." Hearing Zhu Heizi's praise, the Yellow-Robed Elder hurriedly gestured for Zhu Heizi to lie down.
"Good, good, you are becoming more and more clever." Zhu Heizi smiled happily, lay directly on his chair, and began to enjoy the Yellow-Robed Elder's tea-pouring service.
Qingtian Sect Main Hall.
As soon as Jiang Chen returned to the hall, Liu Shu walked in from outside with a smile and said, "Sect Master, shall we change to a different service method?"
Just now, while Jiang Chen was in the Main Hall, she had already massaged Jiang Chen for several hours.
Now that Jiang Chen had returned, she felt it was time to change to a different service method for Jiang Chen.
"Mm, let's change to an Ice and Fire Foot Bath." Jiang Chen nodded upon hearing this, then lay back on his exclusive reclining chair, waiting for Liu Shu's service.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Liu Shu acknowledged, turned and walked out of the Main Hall, and before long, returned carrying a partitioned golden basin.
Inside this golden basin, one side emitted scorching flames, while the other emitted extremely cold white mist. The two auras intertwined, causing even the space to tremble.
"Sect Master, time to take off your shoes."
As soon as Liu Shu placed the golden basin at Jiang Chen's feet, she called out to Jiang Chen, asking him to extend his feet so she could help take off his shoes.
"Mm, okay."
Jiang Chen nodded and extended his feet directly in front of Liu Shu.
Seeing this, Liu Shu did not hesitate. She immediately helped Jiang Chen take off his shoes and pressed his feet into the golden basin filled with scorching flames and extremely cold white mist.
"Phew! So satisfying. This is the life." As soon as his feet were placed into the golden basin, Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
This Ice and Fire Foot Bath was a new service project that he and Liu Shu had explored together. It was countless times more comfortable than the previous enlightenment tea foot bath and was a project he had been enjoying frequently lately.
