234 Quest Completion And Profit
" Everyone, The list of Battle Tournament is out!" Wei Zhu announced as a ball of light shot upwards, unfurling into a gigantic scroll that spread across the sky.
The first place was naturally captured by Long Ming, as his name flashed with a bright golden radiance. The second place belonged to Han Cheng while the third place belonged to Mu Qinglian.
The fourth and fifth places belonged to Ling Yuan and Shu Changyan.
Well, Shu Gongyan's name is supposed to be on the third but since he is dead, there is nothing that can be done.
" For those who are below rank ten and among the top fifty rankings, each of them shall receive Fifty thousand High grade spirit stones along with a bottle of rank four Primordial Spirit Enhancing Pill."
" For those who are in the ranking from tenth position to fourth position, All of them shall receive a hundred thousand High grade spirit stones."
" Other than that, They will be able to cultivate in the Imperial Family's Blood Qilin Spring for three days."
" For the top three rankers, They will get 200,000 High grade spirit stones, with five days of cultivation in the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring."
" For the champion, He shall receive Seven Days of cultivation in the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring. Other than that, He can choose a treasure or technique from the Imperial Treasury."
" Also, His Majesty The Emperor shall also bestow him with a gift."
Soon, everyone lined up as they received their rewards. Long Ming felt a bit awkward when the Emperor descended right before him.
" Long Ming, Is it? I guess you really put up a tough fight in the finals." The Emperor smiled, but Long Ming could feel that dripping sarcasm.
" What a spectacular fight indeed."
" His Majesty is embarrassing me..." Long Ming lowered his gaze and tried to make the situation less awkward.
' So, You chose the camp of Qin Yong, Huh?'
Long Ming felt goosebumps on his body when he heard the Emeperor's voice in his heart.
' His Majesty, I can't understand what you are saying...' Long Ming answered him with his mind. ' Well, No matter what you say, You have already embroiled yourself in this mud.'
The Emperor snickered, but outwardly, he was patting Long Ming'a back with praise.
' Now, I sincerely pray you do not get killed by your enemies.'
Long Ming's expression became speechless when the Emperor let him go with a smiling face.
' This bastard...' Long Ming couldn't help but curse at him.
[ Ding! Host completed the mission and got first place in the Imperial Battle Tournament! Host received 1x Star Platinum Grade Chest!]

[ Don't forget to give evaluation!]
" Ah, You mean basic movements like spear thrustings?" Mu Qinglian felt a bit suspicious, but she nodded. " Huh? Brother Ling, Why are you trembling?"
Ling Yuan felt he was almost going to faint from embarrassment. " I... I was just feeling a bit unwell..." He spoke while suppressing his laughter.
" Senior Sister, Why don't you go and meet Master? I shall be right back."
" Alright..."
Ling Yuan saw Mu Qinglian leave and punched Long Ming playfully. " Spear piercing the flowers, huh? Brother Long can truly speak some flowery bullshit."
" So what?" Long Ming rolled his eyes. "Should I have told her that I am making erotic paintings for you?"
"Hehe, Don't do that, My good brother."
Ling Yuan grinned as he looked at Long Ming. " Well, After this, We are probably going to meet in the Blood Qilin Scared Pool."
" What exactly is the Blood Qilin Scared Pool? Why everyone is excited about it?" Long Ming couldn't help but ask.
" Well, The Blood Qilin Sacred Pool was said to be left behind by a True Qilin, whose strength could be comparable to the peak of Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivators, just a step below Heavenly Emperors."
Lung Yuan looked at Long Ming as he explained. " Not only it will remold your body and make your physique better, but it will also refine your true qi and make your talent grow even further."
" Just you know, The Qilin Statue we faced in the second round was something which kept in the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool."
" Also, It remains closed throughout the years. Even in the past Battle Tournaments, they didn't open the Blood Qilin Sacred pool. And even they did, it didn't remain open more than one day."
" So, Brother Long, Seize this chance and improve your cultivation." Ling Yuan's voice turned low as he whispered.
" After all, Although everything is looking calm...there is a lot of undercurrent flowing in the Holy Qilin Empire, along with the entire Eastern Province."
Long Ming's eyes narrowed when he heard that. " I will remember that, Brother Ling."
" Well then, Let's go." Ling Yuan held Long Ming and dragged him away. " After all, You owe me a treat. You are the champion of the Battle Tournament after all."
Long Ming's Heavenly Vision Eyes activated as he looked at his surroundings.
He could see the ashen face of Sky Martial Tower. Especially Zheng Li, Who was looking in the direction of the Four Seasons Valley with murderous intent.
Not only them, but the Blissful Heaven Temple and the Green Cloud Valley were also trembling with rage and helplessness.
After all, not only did the saint children of Sky Martial Tower become useless, but Long Ming managed to become the champion of the tournament, making them face immense loss.
But then, It was none of Long Ming's concern as he walked back to the pavilion of Four Seasons Valley.
" Well, What is it, Sister Meng?" Long Ming asked with an interest. " You look so happy and...Busy?"
" Well, Nothing, My dear little brother." Meng Zhi grinned. " I am just calculating the amount of spirit stones mine, abodes, ore veins, and other things we managed to win from the betting from the sects."
" What? Bets?" Long Ming was baffled when he heard that.
Does that mean it wasn't only him who was making a profit from the Battle Tournament?
