Cultivation Online

Chapter 1847  Sudden Event

When Yuan emerged from his seclusion, he was pleasantly surprised to learn that Xi Meili and Tan Songyun had finally arrived at the Immortal Monastery.

”So the only one left is Yingzi, huh?”

If Yuan had to be honest, he was the most worried about Yingzi, as she was new to cultivation in the Nine Heavens. Moreover, she isnʼt even familiar with humans, much less their lifestyles. Yuan could imagine Yingzi having a hard time adapting to the quotas in the Bamboo Garden.

”I must ask, how many points do you currently have?” Xi Meili asked Yuan as they sat in his room.

”Near zero since I just spent all of them,” Yuan said. ”However, I had 750,000 points before that.”

”750,000?!?!” Everyone in the room exclaimed in shock. The rest of the participants had just begun entering the Hunting Grounds to farm for points, yet Yuan had already earned and spent 750,000 in one go. It was an astronomical amount of points that they couldnʼt even begin to comprehend.

”How in heavenʼs name did you earn that many points? Did you threaten someone for them?” Tan Songyun asked with wide eyes.

”You can get points by selling materials of magical beasts to the point store. You get about 100 per kill as Spirit Apprentice. Once you reach Spirit Warrior, you can expect around 500 per kill,” Yuan explained his methods.

However, even if everyone knew his method, not everyone could replicate it. After all, most participants have to pair up to fight a single magical beast, and theyʼd need to split the points. Yuan was fighting alone, so he could easily keep all points for himself.

”By the way, hereʼs a little something.”

Yuan retrieved four Golden Spirit Pills from his spatial ring and continued, ”These will make your life a little easier.”

”What is that?” Xi Meili asked.

”Thatʼs the Golden Spirit Pill. Although not by much, it can boost oneʼs cultivation talents,” Ji Ran explained.

”Oh, I saw that in the list. They cost 7,500 points each, right? Are you sure you want to spend so many points on us? I donʼt want to slow down your progress,” Xi Meili said.

Yuan smiled and said, ”Itʼs only 7,500 points. I can earn that much with a single monster core and some materials. Itʼll hardly slow down my progress right now.”

Ji Ran then said, ”I appreciate the offer, Young Master, but I have already purchased and consumed the Golden Spirit Pill myself. You can save mine for Yingzi.”

In the Immortal Monastery, Ji Ranʼs progress was only second to Yuan, which was expected, as he was once the sect leader of the Immortal Monastery.

Xi Meili and Lan Yingying accepted the Golden Spirit Pill. As for Tan Songyun, she hesitated to receive Yuanʼs assistance out of pride.

However, she eventually accepted the Golden Spirit Pill.

”Thank you…” she mumbled. Sometime later, just as everyone prepared to leave Yuanʼs place, they heard a familiar voice being broadcast through voice transmission, allowing all of the participants to hear it no matter where they were.

”The Immortal Monastery will be hosting its Entry-level Immortal Exchange in half a year. Only Outer Court disciples and those below Spirit Master may participate. The winner of this tournament will be granted 1,000,000 points and the treasure Translucent Dew of Flawlessness. However, you will need 25,000 points to participate in the tournament. You are only allowed to use your own points to participate. Moreover, you will gain one contribution for every victory.”

Once the announcement ended, Ji Ran said, ”That was the founderʼs voice.”

”Entry-level Immortal Exchange, huh? Will you be participating, Yuan?” Xi Meili turned to look at him, who calmly nodded.

There was no way heʼd miss the chance to acquire the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness, which would help him achieve an Untainted Body and speed his cultivation speed tremendously.

”I guess that means I wonʼt be participating,” Xi Meili shrugged.

”Weʼre too far behind, after all,” Ji Ran sighed.

”Iʼll also skip it,” Lan Yingying nodded in agreement.

Tan Songyun didnʼt say anything, but she also planned on skipping the tournament. As enticing as the rewards were, she knew she wouldnʼt defeat Yuan, who was an entire realm ahead of her.

If she joined the tournament, sheʼd only be wasting 25,000 points.

”I guess this will be an easy win for you,” Xi Meili then said.

Yuan shook his head and said, ”Thatʼs not necessarily true. If only those like us are allowed to participate, then I will most likely win it without any competition. However, they didnʼt say anything about only allowing us to participate, so itʼs safe to assume the other disciples will also be participating.”

”The Young Master is right. The founder wouldnʼt give such a generous reward so easily,” Ji Ran said.

”By the way, even if you know you wonʼt win the tournament, I think you should still participate for the contribution, which you will need to become an Inner Court disciple,” Yuan then said.

”But 25,000 points is a lot…” Xi Meili sighed.

”There are many ways to earn points, but contribution is a different story. We might only be able to acquire contributions through events such as this one. In such a case, weʼd want to participate in all of them, regardless if we win or lose.”

Yuanʼs logical take on the situation instantly made everyone in the room reconsider their decision. Although 25,000 points may be a lot, they could earn it back with enough effort. However, contribution was a different story. If they could not become an Inner Court disciple due to lack of contribution, even a billion points would be pointless.

”Alright, Iʼll participate in the event and earn as much contribution as possible,” Xi Meili said after pondering for a moment.

Lan Yingying and Ji Ran nodded their heads in agreement.

Sometime later, everyone left Yuanʼs living quarters to continue their training. As for Yuan, he returned to the Hunting Grounds to continue slaying magical beasts for points.
