In early November, the Lingyan Pavilion was opened again to hold a collective award ceremony for the cultivators who had participated in the defense battle of the Southern Border.
The medals were made of pure gold, and considering the current price of gold, they were probably worth a significant amount of money. The medals featured a tropical rainforest background with a soldier holding a gun standing steadfastly in the center of the jungle, his expression solemn and his gaze resolute.
At the same time, all the cultivators received national certificates and honorary titles: Guardians of Nanjiang.
Additionally, there was a cash reward of twenty-five million for each person—this was merely a drop in the bucket for the treasury, since these cultivators actually had very limited spending power. Most of the money would be saved up, kept in the bank vaults; rounding up, it was almost as if this money hadn't been distributed at all.
