"Cough, cough!"

The emotional conversation between this man and this beast was already very unpleasant. What was even more unexpected to Yin Xian was Chi Dan giving him a bear hug in front of everyone, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Little Dan, let go, you're hurting my heart!" After hearing Yin Xian's dry cough, Chi Dan did not feel awkward at all.

In front of everyone's eyes, the man and the beast were hugging each other. This was simply unbearable to look at. Even so, it was fine. However, the words' bestowed by heaven 'caused some of the undesirable to imagine and feel disgusted.

Now that Tian Ci and Chi Dan had joined the sect, their every word and action represented the sect's image. After hearing Tian Ci's words, Yin Xian felt a little awkward as he saw the disgusted looks on everyone's faces.

"Tian Ci, you have already taken Junior Brother Su as your Master. Since you are injured, you should first follow your Master to the great hall to rest!"

"Oh right, you also received Fellow Daoist Duo's greeting gift. Thank you Fellow Daoist Duo, then you can leave!"

He had just given away a drop of blood essence. Although he had already taken the Blood Replenishing Pill, he was still weak and needed more rest. This was also a good intention from Yin Xian.

At first, Tian Ci wanted to thank Yin Xian, so he left with Su Liang. However, when he heard Yin Xian ask him to thank Duo Ling again and wanted to thank Yin Xian, he couldn't say it out loud.

"Old fox!" It had to be said that Tian Long was really dissatisfied with Yin Xian's ulterior motives. After all, Yin Xian was using him as a tool.

When Yin Xian's words reached Duo Ling's ears, Duo Ling did not feel anything. After all, he had already given a gift from the heavens, and when others heard this, some people became angry, some became sad, some became happy, and some even started to gloat.

"This old fox Yin Xian is really cunning!"

"What is this about thanking him? He's clearly trying to receive the gift!"

"Hmph, this old man Yin Xian is truly shameless. But that's fine too. If the sect takes the lead in accepting gifts, our Yan Sect will have a hard time dealing with it in the future!"

"Hehe, I, your father, have never cared about my reputation. Old man Yin Xian, you want to take my gift? In your next life!"

"Hahaha! In the eyes of these righteous Dao cultivators, our sect has a poor reputation. Let's just give them gifts!"

"Hehe, these people who boast that they are righteous humans are really interesting, now we're going to have a good show!"

"Sigh, with this wind, our little sect's days will be even more difficult!"

"Sigh, from now on, this old man will not participate in the sect's disciple recruitment ceremony anymore!"

Yin Xian was clearly using him to receive guests' gifts, and he wanted to refuse. However, when he thought about how Yin Xian only needed a gift from Duo Ling, it didn't matter if he thanked him or not, Yin Xian would still achieve his goal and felt very helpless.

Moreover, he couldn't refuse Yin Xian's outrageous request in front of everyone. If he were to reject Yin Xian, it would be equivalent to slapping Yin Xian's face. This would make it difficult for him to stay in the sect.

"Senior Duo Ling, many thanks for the gift, this junior will never forget it!"

"Seniors, this junior's body is unwell, so I'll be taking my leave. Please forgive my rudeness!"

With the help of Chi Dan, Tian Ci stood up with difficulty, clasping her fists towards Duo Ling to express her gratitude. Before Duo Ling could say anything, she also apologized to everyone.

He had schemed against everyone, and now that Heaven's Gift thought about it, there were many people who were so angry that they couldn't possibly urge him to stay. He didn't want to stay any longer either, so he turned around and looked at Huo Luan.

"Brother Huo Luan, do you want to stay and continue watching the ceremony?" Although Tian Ci was unsure of what to do, she could not ask. She could only use her eyes to seek Huo Luan's opinion.

Huo Luan came to the Hollow Jade Sect because she was forced to appear at the grand ceremony. On one hand, it was because she was forced to do it, but on the other hand, she was worried that something bad might happen to her.

The identity of the bestowal of heaven had already been clarified, and it had also helped him clarify his identity. There was naturally no need for him to stay at the grand ceremony, so after being consulted by the gift of heaven, he stood up.

"Big brother Huo Luan, Little Dan, let's go!" He was not sure if Huo Luan wanted to leave together with him, so he could not call out to him. Now that Huo Luan stood up and understood Huo Luan's intentions, she naturally wanted to call him to leave together with her.

"Little friend Tianshu, please hold your steps!"

Just as Tian Ci was about to leave, she heard someone stopping her. She was slightly surprised and immediately turned around to look at the crowd. A man and a woman stood up from their chairs and looked at her.

The man and woman were none other than Yu Zijun of the Profound Spirit Sect and Nong Jianrou and her wife.

"This humble Daoist is the Darkspirit Sect's Yu Zhenjun. This is my Dao-companion, Nong Jiexin!"

Although my Profound Spirit Sect does not have a suitable cultivation technique for you, my humble sect still has a Dragon God Pellet, which is very effective in improving your physique. I hope that you can help me, my friend. As Yu Zijun spoke to Heaven's Gift, he took out a jade box. A green light wrapped around the jade box and flew towards Heaven's Gift.

"Heavens' gift, quickly take it. This Dragon God Pill is extremely useful for your cultivation!"

Although the pill was good, Heaven's Gift had already schemed against everyone and didn't want to owe anyone any favors. He originally wanted to reject it, but when he suddenly heard Su Liang's voice transmission, he immediately changed his mind.

"Thank you for the potions bestowed upon me by Senior Yu and Senior Nong. I will remember your kindness in my heart!" He reached into the green light, took the jade box, and put it away in his pocket. Then, he cupped his hands in thanks.

If he didn't give the pill to Little Dan for safekeeping, he obviously wouldn't trust Little Dan. Furthermore, by doing so, he showed his respect to both Yu Zijun and Nong Xiurou.

"What?! That's the Dragon God Pellet?"

"The Dragon God Pill is a body tempering panacea. Not only is it useful for low level cultivators, it is also useful for tribulation stage cultivators!"

"Yeah, I heard that after consuming this Dragon God Pill, it would stay in your body to improve your physique until you reach the tribulation stage!"

"Oh my god, that's a Dragon God Pill! Is the Mysterious Spirit Sect crazy?!"

"There's no need for this Yu Zijun to be so generous if he wants to play with this gifted child!"

Many people's hearts shook when they heard that the Mysterious Spirit Sect was willing to take out the Body Refinement Pellets that were useful to tribulation cultivators. Some people felt that it was a blessing from heaven, and in short, they were envious of it.

"Hmph, this Dragon God Pill might be good, but it depends on who consumed it. Giving it to a piece of trash is simply a waste of a natural treasure!"

"Sigh, if I were to consume this Dragon God Pill, it wouldn't damage my reputation. Giving it to that mortal kid is simply a waste!"

Some people were envious, and naturally, there were some who were jealous of Chu Feng. In fact, there were even some who had ill intentions toward Chu Feng.

"Hmph, what the hell is this Mysterious Spirit Sect doing?" It was just a Dragon God Pellet. Cao Ba wasn't really envious of it and was jealous of it. He just couldn't understand what Yu Zijun had done.

"Looks like I have to think about what gift to give to this little fellow!" Although Duo Ling hadn't given her a gift, the gift that the Hollow Jade Sect had prepared for her wasn't light. Since the Mysterious Spirit Sect had given her a Dragon God Pill, Hong Tao was put in a difficult position.

"Little friend Tian Ci, I, Hong Tao of the Cloud Sky Sect, have no suitable cultivation technique for little friend to cultivate in, nor does I have a body tempering panacea such as the Dragon God Pellet. This humble Taoist will give you a defensive spirit artifact!" As Hong Tao spoke to Tian Ci, he took out a jade box. He released a blue stream of light and placed the jade box before Tian Ci.

The Dragon God's Pill was also very useful for tribulation cultivators. It was hard to say if anyone would have malicious intentions towards it, so they gave it to it as a defensive spiritual item. Clearly, this was Hong Tao's decision after careful consideration and familiarity.

As for using a jade box to store a spirit artifact, the reason why Hong Tao did so was naturally to avoid causing trouble for them. After all, he was innocent, and having treasures was a crime. He understood this principle.

"This …" Seeing the incoming jade box, this time, Tian Ci did not extend her hand to take it.

It was not because he had guessed that the gift was not expensive, but because he had guessed that the gift was extremely valuable that he did not want to accept it and owed Hong Tao another favor.

With this gift, it will be very useful to you in the future when you travel in the martial arts world. Besides, you've already received gifts from the Sky Cracking Sect and the Mysterious Spirit Sect. If you don't accept gifts from the Cloud Sky Sect, then that will be a great honor for Fellow Daoist Hong Tao! Since Tian Ci refused to accept the gift, Su Liang once again transmitted his voice secretly.

"Many thanks to Senior Hong for the treasure I have bestowed upon me. I will definitely remember Senior Hong's kindness!" After accepting the gift once more, Tian Ci clasped her fist and bowed to Hong Tao.

Although it was not hard to guess what defensive spirit artifact Hong Tao had given them, it was definitely not an ordinary defensive spirit artifact. After all, Hong Tao represented the Cloud Sky Sect, so naturally he wouldn't be a joke.

In order to accept Heaven's Gift into the sect, the Hollow Jade Sect had to give five gifts. The four great sects that came to watch the ceremony, the Sky Cracking Sect, Mysterious Spirit Sect, and Cloud Sky Sect, all gave gifts. Only the Flame Sect had yet to give them the Heaven's Gift.

"The other three sects did not offend Chi Dan. Only Yan Zong, Chi Dan, not only did he offend Cao Ba, he even demanded two thousand years of elixirs. I'm afraid that Cao Ba will not give that kid any gifts."

"Not necessarily. Perhaps Cao Ba will even offer a greeting gift to ease the relationship between him and the Heaven's Gift Pill."

"Humph, this Cao Ba is arrogant and conceited, he is a vengeful person. I don't think he will give me any gifts!"

"Even the three great sects gave him a greeting gift. If this Cao Ba wasn't given a gift, he would definitely be laughed at by the world. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear the shame!"

"All of you are deliberately trying to embarrass this old man. This old man will first remember this debt. There will be a day when I will get it back from all of you!" The other three sects all gave their greetings, Cao Ba's heart was filled with anger, but he calmly looked at Tian Ci.

Good friend, I, Cao Ba, do not have a suitable cultivation art for you, much less a Body Refinement Holy Medicine like the Divine Dragon Pill. Since I am not good at defense, I shall give you an offensive spirit artifact!" As he said that, Cao Ba took out a scarlet treasured sword that was only the size of a finger and brought it to God's blessing.

"Many thanks to senior Cao for this gift. This junior will never forget your great kindness!" This time, not waiting for Su Liang's voice transmission, Tian Ci retrieved the small sword from the red stream of light and placed it in her bosom.

It was just that due to his face, he had no choice but to give out his treasured sword. Considering Cao Ba's face, in order to ease the tension between Xiao Dan and Cao Ba, he decided to accept the gift.
