Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Under the Heavy Reward, There Must Be Brave Men

The Second Soul Division finished speaking and waved its arm, and immediately the Blue Lotus Divine Flame appeared in the palm of its hand.

Through combining with the formation buried underground, a powerful force instantly dispersed to everyone present, aiding them in refining the Redflame Firestone in their hands.

As one of the strongest flames between heaven and earth, the Blue Lotus Divine Flame possesses the ability to refine all things in the world, so naturally, the refining of the Redflame Firestone was not a challenge and could be completed quickly and with ease.

However, although the formation that Lin Chen had set up could accelerate the process of refining the Redflame Firestone, all the martial artists within the formation were acting as focal points of the formation, so the actual speed at which they could refine the Redflame Firestone in their hands was determined by their individual ability to absorb energy.

"What’s going on, why am I absorbing the energy within the Redflame Firestone so quickly!?"

"Could it be that my cultivation has become more profound? No, that’s not right, it’s because of the formation around us, it seems that the formation laid out by Senior Brother Lin Chen is playing a significant role, helping us refine the Redflame Firestone in our hands."

"This is fantastic, if this continues, we’ll truly be able to refine the Redflame Firestone and enhance our strength within an hour."

The crowd murmured quietly to themselves as they opened their hearts and wildly absorbed the energy from the Redflame Firestone.

However, after all, the Redflame Firestone contains fire attribute energy, and even though under Lin Chen’s formation, the converted energy was extremely pure, the absorption process still encountered some resistance, but it was still faster than absorbing spirit stones.

Just an hour had passed, and some martial artists had already made a breakthrough in their cultivation.

Yet, there were also some martial artists with faces full of dejection.

Because during their refining of the Redflame Firestone, despite the speed being rapid and the absorption smooth, not all martial artists were rewarded with a Redflame Firestone.

Some martial artists only received half of a low-grade Redflame Firestone because they had excavated too few Redflame Firestones during the three days, resulting in their rewards being halved.

And there were some martial artists whose results from mining were pitifully low, and they weren’t rewarded at all, they could only watch enviously as others absorbed the Redflame Firestone during the designated time, and they were left in a state of urgency.

Now they deeply regretted slacking off while mining the Redflame Firestone.

But one can’t entirely blame them, as the Jade Cauldron Sect often gave them no rewards at all for their hard labor in the past, which led to the habit of shirking and taking shortcuts.

And sometimes, even when there were rewards, the Sect would deduct a portion of them, such as the contribution points for Sect tasks, which were always less than the described amount, and when exchanging for rewards, they never received the best.

However, now it was different, the rewards promised under Lin Chen’s leadership in the ore mining operation were genuine.

There were also some diligent disciples who truly struck it big this time. The rewards they obtained allowed them to refine as many as five Redflame Firestones within an hour, significantly boosting their cultivation.

Now they truly understood how fortunate they were to be chosen for this task, not only for receiving the Redflame Firestones as a Sect reward but also for the formation laid out by Lin Chen.

If it were any other day, let alone five Redflame Firestones, even refining a single Redflame Firestone would take them several days, and impurities would accumulate in their bodies. How could it compare to absorbing the pure energy like in Lin Chen’s laid out formation.

"An hour has passed, everyone stop refining."

"The next reward distribution will be in five days. I hope everyone puts in good effort to mine during this time. It’s tiring, I know, but I can assure you, the rewards in five days won’t be any less than what you’ve seen today."

"The next rewards will be distributed as Sect Contribution Points: one hundred Redflame Firestones for one hundred Sect Contribution Points. These contribution points won’t stack with the usual contribution points from the Sect. After this mining operation ends, you must exchange these points for treasures at the Sect; don’t delay, or the opportunity will pass. You can choose to exchange for Redflame Firestones like those you saw earlier, or you can exchange for elixirs, talisman inscriptions, magic artifacts, and of course, Cultivation Techniques."

Lin Chen said to the crowd, speaking indifferently.

He had distributed rewards on the third day to inspire everyone to mine the ores with enthusiasm.

This approach by Lin Chen was a hundred times more effective than simply urging the crowd while they mined the Redflame Firestones.

With the taste of reward, Lin Chen wasn’t worried they wouldn’t mine diligently.

To increase everyone’s anticipation and motivation even further, Lin Chen waved his hand and listed all the treasures they could exchange on a list.

"We can even exchange for the lowest-level treasures, which are Second Grade Intermediate elixirs, as well as Third Grade Elixirs, third-grade talismans, third-grade magical weapons, and Profound High-Grade Techniques."

"Heavens, am I dreaming? What we’ve got here isn’t tough work at all, it’s more like a cushy job that the Sect has given us to take care of us."

The disciples were incredibly excited after seeing the list that Lin Chen had laid out.

Even if they had risked their lives back when they were at the Jade Cauldron Sect, they couldn’t earn rewards as good as what they were seeing now.

Exchanging for such treasures usually required accumulating a lifetime’s worth of Sect Contribution Points, but now, they only needed to mine the veins desperately.

In fact, to Lin Chen and the current state of the Jade Cauldron Sect, these treasures weren’t a big deal.

What Lin Chen truly wanted was to increase the speed at which everyone mined the Redflame Firestone veins.

After all, there was some distance from this place to Divine Sun City, and if the Black Cloud Sect and Moon Shadow Pavilion were to attack at this time, they would be at a disadvantage.

Another reason Lin Chen was so generous with the treasures was that these offerings would surely elicit exceptional disciples among the lower-ranked ones.

Normally, at the Sect, because of the equality, they might be overlooked.

But in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed. With such ’great’ incentives, the truly talented disciples were bound to achieve something, and that was precisely what the Jade Cauldron Sect needed at the moment.

After Lin Chen listed the treasures, he continued to urge the crowd to keep working and mine the Redflame Firestone veins.

He, on the other hand, waved his arm and began to store all the Redflame Firestones into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Seeing Lin Chen use such a storage technique, Wang Dachui, Li Hanyi, Hong Yanbing, and others were immediately stunned.

In front of them were millions of Redflame Firestones, and Lin Chen had managed to clear out mountains’ worth of them in just a few breaths.
