Chapter 507: Special Merit
The spirit mine area was completely blocked by the Iron Blood Alliance.
Lin Mu, on the other hand, followed the senior officials and returned to the Iron Blood 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 scorn, only jealousy and gratitude.
Those who are narrow-minded and jealous of Lin Mu's achievements are grateful to Lin Mu for discovering the spiritual mine. 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 in 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, at this time, a very elegant middle-aged man stood at the head of the hall.
He put his left hand on his chin, as if thinking about something, and held a brush in his right hand.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, he put his left hand behind his back, and began to draw with his right hand like flowing clouds and flowing water.
On the table was a piece of drawing paper.
Below this elegant middle-aged man, there is a 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 familiar when seeing this man in white brocade robe.
After everyone entered the hall, including Huang Xun and Yuan Xiuping, they did not dare to disturb them 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 battle group.
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 on weekdays.
"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 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 present 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 the other party was so secretive, and the matter was obviously unusual.
Could it be that there are some big secrets hidden in this large spiritual mine?
Then, after 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 had 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 spiritual mine, I can see your sincerity in dedicating it to the alliance."
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 will be promoted to one level, our second-class functions will be promoted to two levels, and our first-class functions will be promoted to three levels. Is this true?"
Lin Mu said.
"but."
Bailixi nodded.
"Then I wonder what level of merit this disciple has earned this time?"
Lin Mu raised his head, looked at Baili and ridiculed.
When Lin Mu's gaze was caught, 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 had discovered was just a large spiritual mine, it would have been a first-class merit at most. However, there were actually middle-grade and high-grade spiritual stones in the spiritual mine. It was indeed 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, boiled in their hearts.
Baili Xi didn't look at the others at all and continued to say 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 currently 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 the fourth level, 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 made the right decision to offer the spiritual mine.
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 scoffed.
"yes."
Lin Mu took the order.
"The rest of you, do 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 blocking it. Moreover, blocking it now means that you do not want to enjoy the rights and interests of the spiritual mine. Only fools would do this kind of thing.
And so what if Lin Mu is given the position of standing elder? With Lin Mu's pitiful cultivation level, does he really want to have any say in the alliance?
