The spirit mine area is completely blocked by the Iron Blood Alliance.
Lin Mu, on the other hand, followed the senior officials and returned to the Iron-Blooded Alliance.
The road is familiar, but the surrounding eyes are completely different from last time.
Last time, the people in the Iron Blood Alliance looked at him with contempt.
But this time, there was no more contempt, only jealousy and gratitude.
Those who are narrow-minded and jealous of Lin Mu's achievements, but those who know how to be grateful, are grateful to Lin Mu for showing up the spiritual mine, and their future practice is already guaranteed.
After passing through many attics, Lin Mu finally arrived at a large hall under the leadership of the senior officials of the Iron-Blooded Alliance.
The scene inside the palace was quite unexpected.
In Lin Mu's imagination, the leader of the Iron-Blooded Alliance should be a very iron-blooded and mighty figure.
But in fact, there was a very elegant middle-aged man standing in the main hall seat at this time.
His left hand was resting on his chin, as if he was thinking about something, and his right hand was holding a brush.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of some idea, he put his left hand behind his back, and began to draw with his right hand like flowing clouds and flowing water.
What was spread on the table was a piece of drawing paper.
Below this elegant middle-aged man, there is another man standing in his forties, wearing a white brocade robe, with a casual expression, but occasionally a faint sense of sharpness will pass through his eyes.
For some reason, Lin Mu felt a little familiar when he saw this man in a white brocade robe.
After everyone entered the hall, including Huang Xun and Yuan Xiuping, they did not dare to disturb him and waited there quietly.
"Hahaha, Guo Xun, come and see how I have improved this time."
After a few minutes, the elegant middle-aged man laughed, put down his pen, and waved to the man in brocade robes.
Lin Mu raised his eyebrows, and then he understood why he felt familiar when looking at the man in brocade robes.
It turned out that it was because the outline of the other person's eyebrows was somewhat similar to Guo Qi's.
And this man in brocade robes is Guo Qi's father, Guo Xun, the leader of the regiment.
But it’s really interesting to say that the two captains of the Iron Blood Alliance both have “Xun” in their names.
Huang Xun, Guo Xun.
I just don’t know how these two people feel about this.
"Are you back?"
It was only then that he seemed to notice other people in the hall and said in surprise.
"Alliance leader."
Huang Xun and others saluted one after another.
"Leader, this painting appraisal is just for you, why don't you wait and talk about business first?"
Guo Xun reminded.
"Yeah, that's fine."
It was about the spiritual mine, and Baili Xi didn't dare to be careless, "Tell me about the situation."
"Leader, the news about the large spiritual mine is indeed true."
Huang Xun said while holding back his excitement.
"good very good."
Baili Xi is also very excited. With the mastery of a large spiritual mine, the strength of the Iron Blood Alliance can be increased by at least 20 to 30%.
"What are the results of the survey of the Naling Mine?"
he asked again.
But this time, Huang Xun did not answer immediately, but said to Deacon Wu: "Deacon Wu, please submit the test report of the spirit mine to the alliance leader.
When Baili Xi and Guo Xun heard this, their eyes immediately became serious.
With their wisdom, they immediately heard a different meaning from Huang Xun's words.
If it were just a large spiritual mine, Huang Xun could have reported the situation directly, but if the other party was so secretive, the matter was obviously unusual.
Could it be that there are some big secrets hidden in this large spiritual mine?
Then, when Deacon Wu presented the survey report, Baili Xi's expression also changed.
He finally understood why Huang Xun and the others were so cautious.
"You guys did a great job."
Even Baili Xi, a peak martial arts master, was pounding in his heart at this moment.
This spiritual mine actually contains medium-grade and high-grade spiritual stones, which he never expected beforehand.
"Are you Lin Mu?"
Then, his eyes swept over the disciples and finally landed on Lin Mu.
"I've met the leader."
Lin Mu lowered his head and held his hand.
"Okay, very good. After discovering the spirit mine, you can think of dedicating it to the alliance. I have seen your sincerity."
Baili Xi looked satisfied, "We, the Iron Blood Alliance, have always made clear rewards and punishments. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. What conditions do you have?"
This was a time to exchange merit for conditions. Lin Mu was waiting for him at this moment, so naturally he would not refuse.
"Leader, I heard that in the Iron Blood Alliance, our third-class functions were promoted to one level, our second-class functions were promoted to two levels, and our first-class functions were promoted to three levels. Is this true?"
Lin Mu said.
"but."
Bailixi nodded.
"Then I wonder how much merit this disciple deserves?"
Lin Mu raised his head, looked at Baili and scoffed.
Catching Lin Mu's gaze, Baili Xi's eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "In fact, on top of first-class merit, there is also special-class merit. Your credit is not first-class merit, but special-class merit."
"Alliance leader."
Huang Xun and others were suddenly startled and blurted out.
"kindness?"
Baili Xi frowned, "Do you think Lin Mu's contribution is not worthy of this evaluation?"
In fact, Huang Xun and others were just too surprised just now, and they couldn't help but choke when Baili Xi asked him such a question.
Indeed, as Baili Xi said, if what Lin Mu discovered was just a large spiritual mine, it would be a first-class merit at most. However, there were actually middle-grade and high-grade spiritual stones in the spiritual mine. It would be nothing more than a special merit.
point.
Yu Jingfeng and others clenched their palms fiercely.
Special Merit. Since the founding of the Alliance, only a handful of people have been able to obtain this merit.
This Lin Mu was just lucky enough to get special merit?
Strong jealousy, like irresolvable poison, boils in their hearts.
Baili Xi didn't even look at the others and continued to talk to Lin Mu: "With the reward of special merit, you can be directly promoted to the fourth level."
The people below were even more suffocated when they heard this.
In the Iron Blood Alliance, positions are divided into nine levels: outer disciple, inner disciple, core disciple, true disciple, deacon, elder, standing elder, deputy leader and leader.
Among them, deacons and true disciples are on the same level.
The difference between elders and standing elders is that the former only have a high status, while the latter have the qualifications to participate in the core affairs of the sect.
There are only seven standing elders in the entire Iron Blood Alliance.
And Lin Mu is now an inner disciple, which means that if he is promoted to level four, he will become a standing elder.
Counting the two deputy leaders and the leader, he will become one of the eleven people with the highest status in the Iron Blood Alliance.
From now on, even Yu Jingfeng will have to call him "elder" when he sees him.
"Lin Mu obeys the order."
Soon, Baili Xi said decisively.
"The disciple is here."
Lin Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time he offered the spiritual mine, and his decision was indeed the right one.
How could it be considered worthwhile to exchange a spiritual mine that he could not possibly keep in exchange for a standing elder?
"Now, as the leader of the Iron Blood Alliance, I appoint you as the standing elder of the sect."
Baili laughed.
"yes."
Lin Mu took the order and said.
"Do the rest of you have any objections?"
Baili Xi glanced at the others.
"The leader is wise."
Huang Xun and Yuan Xiuping all said in unison.
The matter has settled, and there is no point in trying to stop it. What's more, stopping it now means that you don't want to enjoy the rights and interests of the spiritual mine. Only fools would do this kind of thing.
And even if Lin Mu is given a standing elder position, so what? With Lin Mu's pitiful cultivation level, does he really want to have any say in the alliance?
