Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Generous Rewards

Xiang Feifei paused her eating, then shook her head, "Nevermind, things are fine as they are."

Wang Zijia looked at her puzzled, but didn’t press further. He said, "Alright then, since you seem to be doing well over there."

In reality, he also wasn’t keen on the idea. If he had to spend every waking moment with Xiang Feifei, the already dull days would probably become even duller.

"Ding!"

The mealtime conversation was interrupted by a soft chime. Xiang Feifei looked over at Wang Zijia, who quickly retrieved his identity card.

It was an announcement.

Notice: The preliminary races of this Great Competition have ended. All Dao Child with direct advancement qualifications and all geniuses of various branches, be aware, the Great Competition has now entered the official registration phase.

The second stage of registration lasts for one day and is only open to certain qualified individuals. Lower-ranking disciples not selected in the preliminary races will not have a second chance to register during this stage.

Rewards: Due to special sponsorship from various departments, including the Scripture Pavilion and the Law Hall, the rewards of this Great Competition have all been upgraded and far exceed those of previous sessions.

First prize rewards: Right to open Fu Pulse (specific task), corresponding Sacrificial Wine cultivation method (along with a Mortal World Spiritual Root Detection task - which can be exchanged for one Magic Door), a customizable growing top-grade magical artifact, Class A Foundation Establishment Spirit Object (can be equivalently exchanged for Sacrificial Wine Elixir), and preferential treatment following advancement to Dao Child.

Second prize rewards: Sacrificial Wine cultivation method (as above), customizable top-grade magical artifact, Class A Foundation Establishment Spirit Object.

Third prize rewards: Sacrificial Wine cultivation method (as above), customizable top-grade magical artifact, Class B Foundation Establishment Spirit Object.

Top Ten rewards:...

Top Hundred rewards:...

Top Thousand rewards:...

As Wang Zijia looked at the announcement, he was momentarily lost for words, particularly overwhelmed by the first prize.

Originally, he hadn’t planned on participating in the Great Competition. With his current level of cultivation, it would have been somewhat unfair. But now...

This was your own doing, tempting me like this. Don’t blame me for being a bully!

"The rewards for this year’s Great Competition are really abundant!" Xiang Feifei exclaimed in surprise as she read the announcement.

Coming back to his senses, Wang Zijia finished his meal in a few quick bites and said, "I need to stop by the Ceremony Pavilion."

"You want to register for the Great Competition?" Xiang Feifei asked him.

Wang Zijia nodded, saying, "With such generous rewards, it’s worth giving it a shot."

"It’s very dangerous. Every time the Great Competition is held, many people get hurt, some even have their foundations damaged." Xiang Feifei voiced her concerns.

Wang Zijia just smiled and didn’t debate her on the topic. After packing up, he said, "I’m off."

Xiang Feifei watched as Wang Zijia hurriedly left, choosing not to say anything more.

Wang Zijia arrived in the Sect’s courtyard, pulled out his Paper Kite, and hopped onto it as it increased in size. Spreading his wings, he headed towards the Central District of the Qifu Faction.

...

The Ceremony Pavilion, like the Task Hall and the Pill Medicine Hall, was also a direct branch of the twelve courtyards, a part of the Sect’s official institutions.

However, the Ceremony Pavilion probably belonged to the less profitable, quieter departments of the twelve courtyards, primarily managing the Sect’s ceremonies, celebrations, and external affairs.

Apart from the departments related to external affairs, the rest of the departments under its leadership were very ... ’refined’?

The building itself was also quite antique, following a standard classical Pavilion or Great Hall design. With its green tiles and red walls, along with dragon-wrapped pillars and a prominent reddish-purple color scheme.

Despite its central location in the Qifu Faction, the Ceremony Pavilion was usually one of the quietest places. However, today, even as Wang Zijia rushed in, there were quite a few people about.

"Senior Brother Wang, you’re here to register too?"

"It seems like Dao Child Wang is also aiming for first place!"

"Dao Child Wang is here, looks like our Qifu Faction is set to show our faces this time!"

"..."

To be continued.

The moment Wang Zijia landed in the small square in front of the main hall of the Ceremony Pavilion, a group of young people enthusiastically crowded around him.

Wang Zijia looked around, recognizing some of them from their files. It seemed like all the well-known geniuses of the Qifu Faction were gathered here.

He smiled and performed a fist-and-palm salute to the crowd, asking, "Have you all finished your registration?"

"We have, we’re just hanging out and chatting since we all bumped into each other!" one of them responded.

"Well, you keep doing that. I need to go register," Wang Zijia said, saluting the crowd again before heading towards the main hall at the center of the small square.

"The competition this time around is going to be really interesting, with everyone coming out of the woodwork!"

"Of course, the right to open the Fu Pulse, the treatment of a Dao Child. Aren’t these privileges of those in the Perfected Realm?"

"Who knows how many fights will break out this time!"

"Who cares, I just want to get a cultivation method."

"Haha, same here. Compared to other Class A tasks, becoming a Mortal World disciple is much easier, just a bit more time-consuming."

"Hehe, given the situation this year, getting into the top thousand isn’t any harder than a normal Class A task."

"That’s true!"

"Why overthink it? There’s no harm in trying, if we can’t make it then we simply concede."

"..."

Wang Zijia paid no mind to the chatter around him, crossing the small square and entering the main hall of the Ceremony Pavilion.

The interior of the main hall was spacious and had only a few scattered individuals.

The layout was similar to the Task Hall. There was a large hall in the center, a huge screen on the right displaying various announcements, and the remaining area was composed of different office sections.

He went straight to one of the office areas, which was similar to an airport ticket counter, except for the fact that it also had seating.

The disciple behind the window saw Wang Zijia, his eyes lighting up. He immediately rose and bowed, saying, "I’m Gu Yin Hui, nice to meet you, Senior Brother Wang!"

"Brother Yin Hui, please take a seat!" Wang Zijia responded, and the two of them sat down.

"Senior Brother Wang, are you here to register for the Great Competition?" Gu Yin Hui said, conjuring a light screen and asking.

Wang Zijia nodded, "Are there any restrictions or requirements for registration?"

"Since you, Senior Brother Wang, are a Dao Child of our faction, most of the restrictions don’t apply. But there’s one thing you should particularly note," Gu Yin Hui said, after looking at the light screen for confirmation.

"What restriction?" Wang Zijia inquired.

"At the conclusion of the Great Competition you participate in, you must ensure that you have not fully advanced to the Sacrificial Wine stage," Gu Yin Hui told Wang Zijia.

Upon hearing this strange restriction, Wang Zijia was momentarily baffled, then asked in disbelief, "You’re implying that even at the Dao Foundation stage, one is still eligible to participate in the competition, still considered a Dao Child?"

"Ahem..." Gu Yin Hui was caught off guard by Wang Zijia’s direct questioning and coughed before saying, "Senior Brother Wang, I didn’t explicitly say that, just that the registration requires one to be a Dao Child. After completing the registration, who are we to prevent Dao seeds from improving their strength?"
