Chapter 65: Sect Points

  The strong man in a green robe walked over with a smile all over his face, and patted Li Ruo's shoulder heavily: "Ruo, well done, congratulations on achieving such remarkable results."

  He led Li Ruo and the others back to the foot of the stage, looking at those eager-looking arena masters. The strong man in green smiled and said: "Alright, from now on, everyone is a fellow disciple. In our Xuanji Xianpai, all Danxians above are brothers, so you can just call me Nadan Shixiong from now on."

  Twenty people bowed together: "We've seen Master Nadan!"

  Nadan smiled and nodded, his expression invigorated, and said loudly: "To put it finely, you now only have the qualification to enter Xuanji Mountain, but you are not completely considered a disciple of the mountain school. Only after three days, when the Fish Leap Dragon Gate ceremony is held for you, will you be considered one of us in Xuanji Mountain."

  Nadan turned his head to look at the crowd around him and said loudly, "At the same time, I also welcome everyone to witness the moment when these disciples make a leap forward three days later."

  The crowd applauded warmly.

  Nadan hinted that the crowd could disperse, looked up at the sky and smiled: "It's still early, I'll take you brothers to visit our Xuanji Mountain first, so you can have a general understanding of our sect."

  Even Li Ruo Dao became interested at this point, in his previous life he was a loose cultivator and didn't have a deeper understanding of the grandeur of these great sects, today he had such an opportunity and naturally wanted to broaden his horizons.

  More than 2,000 people were enthusiastically discussing the match that had just ended. Led by the gray-robed master who brought his disciples away, they had a month's deadline to stay in Xuán Jī Mountain and visit freely, witnessing the style of the immortal faction, but some core areas were inaccessible.

  Twenty people led by Nada climbed up the mountain, walking straight into the dense fog, standing on a mountain peak and pointing to the mountains in the distance: "Fellow disciples, do you see? The Xuanji Mountain Range stretches endlessly, vast and profound, with thirty-three main peaks. Each main peak has an Immortal Master of Dan ascending to preside over it.

  "We are currently at the Thirteen Peaks of Tongtian, and we are all considered disciples under the command of the thirteen elders, Xiao Baiyi. In our Tongtian Peak, there are 43 divine movement period cultivators and 582 refined yuan energy cultivators. After you join us, the number of refined yuan energy cultivators will exceed six hundred."

  Li Ran nodded secretly in his heart, having a general understanding of the Xuanji Sect. Such a fairy sect could actually surpass the Gongsun family with just one peak's power.

  The mountain path turned, and Nada led twenty people through a stone path behind the mountain wall, suddenly turning out to face a grand pavilion. On the upper level, there were seven green stone platforms, and on the lower level, more than a thousand cushions were neatly arranged in rows.

  "This is the Performing Immortal Hall, where the thirteen elders or their direct disciples will occasionally come to explain the way of cultivation."

  Just as he was saying this, a grey-robed disciple walked over from afar with a feather duster in hand and a smile on his face. He bowed to Nada: "Brother Nada has arrived."

  Nadan smiled and nodded, turning to introduce the twenty people led by Li Ruo: "You may not know yet, but when entering our sect, you must choose a domain to join and take on responsibilities. Our thirteen peaks have the Performing Immortal Hall, Mysterious Fire Cave, Treasure Pavilion, Spiritual Medicine Valley, Refining Iron Mine, Spiritual Beast Enclosure, and the Guardian Mountain Guard. Among them, the Performing Immortal Hall is the most leisurely, with more opportunities to meet the elders and senior brothers. The responsibilities here are the most enviable."

  The grey-robed disciple holding the duster had a pleased expression on his face and nodded slightly.

  Feng Zhenzi listened to this and somewhat understood, scratching his head and asking:

  "Nadan Shixiong, that is to say after we join the sect, we must choose a place to work. Then, do we get any rewards after working?"

  Nadan burst out laughing and nodded, "Right, you're absolutely direct, that's exactly how it is. In the Gate Domain, every one of us brothers can get a gate faction point every day, and with these points, we can exchange for spiritual treasures at Cang Zhen Pavilion to aid in our cultivation."

  Everyone nodded in unison, and Li Ran also understood the way of cultivation for the disciples of Xuanji Mountain. The master would occasionally explain the way of cultivation, and it was up to each individual to understand as much as they could. For the rest of the time, they would use their accumulated points to exchange for heart methods, spiritual medicines, and spiritual instruments in the Treasure Pavilion, and cultivate on their own. Only a few people with extraordinary talents that far surpassed others had the opportunity to be accepted as disciples by Dan Sheng, the Upper Immortal, and receive personal guidance from their master on the Great Way.

  Nadan continued to smile and said: "Alright, next I'll take you to the Treasure Pavilion to take a look, so that you can understand what resources you can exchange for in the future."

  Li Ran's knife ignited the passion in everyone's heart, and as Na Dan quickly led the way, the mountain road wound its way up, twisting and turning through nine bends. No one knew how long they had walked when, in a deep mountain valley, they saw in the distance a three-story pavilion hidden in thick fog, with golden walls shining brightly, situated on the mountain slope to capture the spiritual essence.

  Nadan led the crowd downstairs to a black and white signboard with three large characters written in a dragon-like script - Cang Zhen Ge.

  A grey-robed female disciple smiled and came out: "Nadan Shixiong, this is to lead the new disciples to familiarize themselves with the environment."

  Nadan smiled and nodded.

  The female disciple led the crowd into the first floor hall, pointing to the wooden sign on the wall and smiling: "Everyone, you can choose your own area, just take a stroll around for now, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to come here in the future."

  Everyone's eyes were eager, and Li Ran's knife also quickly turned his head to look at the wooden sign on the wall: First floor left hall, spiritual medicine area, second floor right hall, metal area...

  Li Rendao's heartbeat accelerated slightly. Nadan walked quietly to Li Rendao's side, lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Rendao, what are you interested in?"

  Li Ran pointed at the wooden sign on the left hall of the first floor: "I want to go there and take a look."

  Nadan seemed quite enthusiastic: "Alright, I'll take you there."

  Two people turned over the corridor, pushed open a elegant stone gate, and entered a spacious stone room. The four walls were densely lined with countless medicine cabinets, each of which was labeled with the name of the medicine, far more than the varieties in the outer pharmacy.

  Li Ruo's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly walked forward, stretching out his hand to rapidly open a medicine cabinet door, but suddenly froze.

  There was no fragrance of medicine, and inside there was only a delicate and exquisite spiritual medicine stone carving.

  Nadan burst into laughter and walked over: "Ran Jian, you don't know this, but every main peak's Treasure Pavilion only has samples inside. If you find something you like, you can exchange it for enough points, submit the name to the first floor, and they'll help you get it from the unique Spirit Treasure Peak in Xuanji Mountain."

  Li Ran Dao suddenly understood, nodded slightly, looked up and saw that not far away was actually labeled with the name of Chi Lian Can. He walked over, opened the medicine cabinet, took down the price tag from under the stone carving, and found that it required 130 points.

  Li Ran was startled by the knife.

  Nadan said that in the Door Domain, one day of diligent work would earn him only one point, and he needed to accumulate 130 days' worth of points to exchange for a Scarlet Prickly Ash.

  Noticing Li Ran's confusion, Nadan smiled and said from behind: "Points are precious, the number of points a person has is to some extent equivalent to their cultivation progress. Relying on doing tasks for the sect to accumulate points is not enough. Besides this, the main way to obtain points is to offer treasures to the Treasure Pavilion, which can be skills, or spiritual beasts and demon cores, beast skins and bones that you have hunted yourself, or spiritual medicines that you have picked yourself..."

  Li Ruo's sharp eyes stared at Nadan and asked, "Senior brother, so to speak, this Cang Zhen Pavilion is just taking from the many and benefiting the many, isn't it?"

  Nadan smiled again, nodding and saying: "To a certain extent, that's true. However, in our sect's Treasure Pavilion, there are even cultivation notes from Dan Sheng Xian, as well as more mysterious techniques. Other spiritual treasures are also abundant to the point where they're hard to find outside. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange for whatever you want. This kind of condition is also one of our sect's unique advantages."

  Li Ranno nodded, the demon pill in his hand was about to be consumed, and he didn't want to use that gourd spirit honey anymore. He wanted to save that nourishing thing for his father and brother.

  The five stalks of bitter hemp and two other spiritual herbs were all he had left to sustain him in his cultivation, and he didn't know how much further they would take him.

  "It seems I need to find a way to accumulate more points, with enough points, I can continue to exchange for spiritual medicine to support my cultivation."

  At this point, Li Ran felt that his appreciation for the sect's points system had suddenly risen to a whole new level.

  The two of them chatted and walked to the right hall on the second floor, where dozens of display cabinets were arranged in rows. Each cabinet had countless metal models carved from stone, lifelike and vivid.

  Li Ran Dao turned his head and asked: "Nada Shixiong, I want to see the spiritual power metal, which one is the cheapest?"

  Nadan smiled, knowing that his junior brother had realized the value of points. As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to see the cheapest one. He brought Li Ran's knife to a display cabinet and pointed at a black lump on top, saying:

  "This is Iron Essence, just transcending the ordinary iron level, can be used to refine spiritual instruments, but the effect of the refined spiritual instrument is quite general. Spirit Gold is hard to find, even in our sect there are not many, only this Iron Essence is still sufficient."

  Li Ran's eyes hastily shifted to the price tag next to Tie Jing: 1400 points required.

  Li Ran's knife jumped again, his face turned sour. With the spiritual power metal, he could further evolve his small sword, and an iron ingot would cost more than ten times that of a Chi Lian Tonic, which was equivalent to nearly one hundred taels of gold.

  Nadan smiled and said, "Don't be so shocked, young brother. This is spiritual power metal, which can be forged into a spiritual instrument. Of course, the price is slightly higher. Look at the ordinary iron next to it, the price drops significantly."

  Li Ran Dao bitterly smiled, ordinary iron was cheap, but it was of no use to him.

  Li Ruo only then realized how "poor" he was, how much he lacked "money", whether it was spiritual medicine or spiritual iron, either one would be enough to bankrupt him.

  Joining a sect has many advantages, but cultivation is still difficult.

  Nadan Lang smiled and said: "Alright, Burning Knife, you'll be back here again someday. It's getting late, let's stop here for now."

  The two returned to the first floor hall, where Nadan had gathered twenty people. Everyone's face looked a bit bitter, apparently troubled by the points issue.
