Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1832

As soon as Senior Zhou dismissed them, a flurry of movement erupted among the participants, with many rushing back to their living quarters. Their intentions were obvious—everyone was eager to be the one to claim the coveted 10,000 points.

Even if they couldn’t be the first to reach the goal among all the groups, there was still the opportunity to earn 1,000 points, which was more than enough to motivate them to give it their all.

Lan Yingying and Yuan lingered while everyone left. Although neither of them spoke, Yuan could sense what Lan Yingying wanted to say. Her hesitant expression and the way she kept glancing at him made her thoughts clear without needing words.

"Ten thousand points is definitely very tempting, but no amount of points will make me leave you alone," he said. "Don’t worry, we have plenty of time. Worst-case scenario, I’ll get 1,000 points."

"One month," Lan Yingying said. "Regardless of my situation, I want you to leave within one month. Ten thousand points is too much to ignore. Moreover, I will never be able to sleep properly in the future if you lose this opportunity because of me."

Seeing Lan Yingying’s resolute expression, Yuan nodded, "Alright, I’ll leave within one month. While I am here, I will help you progress your cultivation."

Shortly afterward, he and Lan Yingying set off to the forest to begin their work.

Now that Yuan had become a cultivator, chopping bamboo required far less effort, enabling him to earn bonus points without tiring himself out.

When Yuan first started, it had taken him over a hundred strikes to chop down a single stalk of bamboo. Now, thanks to his enhanced strength, he could bring them down with just three to four strikes, making the task significantly faster.

In just half an hour, Yuan completed his weekly quota for the bamboo, as well as Lan Yingying’s portion.

"I’ll continue chopping bamboo since it’s far more efficient than fetching water," Yuan said to Lan Yingying.

"Alright. I’ll go finish our water quotas while you chop bamboo," said Lan Yingying.

By the end of the day, Yuan had chopped down an impressive 250 additional bamboo, earning himself 50 bonus points. He was cutting them down so quickly that the process of transporting and getting them verified took more time than the chopping itself.

After dinner, Yuan went to the store and asked, "Do you sell storage pouches or spatial rings?"

He’d rather invest some points into storage pouches to save time, which would allow him to earn more points.

"We do sell storage pouches and spatial rings. Here are the prices."

The smallest and cheapest storage pouch was priced at only 10 points, but it could hold just 10 bamboos at a time.

On the other hand, the largest storage pouch, costing 50 points, offered significantly more capacity, able to store up to 75 bamboo in a single trip.
