A thousand vital energy crystals! That was an unbelievable amount of wealth.
The guards, servants and maids of the Austin Palace were mostly at the Energy Gathering Realm.
A thousand vital energy crystals was already a huge amount to the Energy Gathering Realm disciples of the five prominent sects, let alone to those people who served others.
Even if Austin didn't give them one penny, they would still serve him loyally like they did before.
That was why when Austin announced the news and told them to line up to receive the award, all of his two thousand followers were dumbstruck when they heard it.
They thought that what they heard was wrong! They couldn't believe their ears!
"Master!"
A beautiful maid with an oval face called out with her trembling voice.
"Oh? What is it? Why are you not lining up to receive the vital energy crystals?"
Austin asked her, confused.
"Master, we are only your humble servants. We are as insignificant as the dust in the air. Sir, we are very thankful to you for rewarding us with so many vital energy crystals. We feel flattered and honored."
The maid choked out with tears running down her eyes. Her body trembled because of the sudden burst of emotion that she was feeling.
The other two thousand people all gazed at Austin with immense gratitude on their faces.
"It's not a big deal. I'm happy to give you at least that much."
Austin smiled gently. His words were like a spring breeze that warmed their hearts.
"Don't think too lowly of yourselves. You are not unimportant.
I told you before that I would never look down on you if you followed me.
You only need to work hard in cultivation. Don't worry about anything else. If you don't have enough resources for cultivation, tell me. I will try my best to help and assist you.
Don't feel troubled of your current situation.
You should know that in the Prime Martial World, only the strength in cultivation base can get you your own place in the world.
As long as you put your heart in it, you could advance valiantly in the road of refinement in the martial arts. You could earn the respect of others and get you a higher position in society. However, all that would only come to you with your own efforts.
That is all.
Go and get your vital energy crystals," Austin waved his hand dismissively and said.
Looking at Austin's lanky figure, all his over two thousand followers cried out simultaneously, "Master!
We are very fortunate to be chosen by the emperor to become your servants!
If you need us in the future, as long as you call for us, we will do as you command. We are also willing to sacrifice our lives for you with no regret!"
Austin was now a hero in the eyes of his people.
In the past, they had to submit themselves to Austin because their spiritual lives were under his control but now they surrendered themselves willingly and happily.
Austin smiled and motioned for them to take their reward.
The two thousand people lined up and waited for their turns to take their reward. They all happily took the one thousand vital energy crystals that Austin granted to them and left contentedly. When they were done, they returned to their posts to fulfill their duties.
"Aha! Tin. What is this all about? Why did you give them so many vital energy crystals? In fact, I also met some bottlenecks in the process of cultivation and I'm also short of vital energy crystals... So... Tin, you see..."
