According to the Qingfeng Sect's rules, disciples who discovered and reported any type of ore vein to the sect would be rewarded with Contribution Points or Super Seize status, the amount and type varying based on the vein's value.
For example, an Outer Sect Disciple could be promoted directly to the Inner Sect without having to go through the sect's competitions.
Or, a Steward could be directly granted a Foundation Establishment Pill without having to wait in line.
However, when it came to Foundation Establishment Elders, such matters were handled differently.
If an elder could independently complete all the preliminary work, from surveying to initial development, and present the sect with a stable ore vein ready for mining...
...their reward would not be a fixed sum. Instead, they would receive twenty to thirty percent of the ore vein's total profits.
