Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1839

"It’s been a week since I arrived at this place, but I could’ve arrived two weeks earlier. I’m surprised it took you this long to become a cultivator, considering you already memorized the cultivation technique," Yuan said.

Ji Ran scratched his head in an embarrassed manner and admitted, "Honestly, I was taken aback by life in the Bamboo Garden and needed some time to adjust. I also failed my first quotas, which slowed me down a little. Although I was the Sect Leader, I have never actually stepped foot inside the Bamboo Garden until recently."

Ji Ran was a genius who entered the Immortal Monastery through the entrance examination, so he didn’t know what life was like for those who had to enter the sect through the Bamboo Forest. Although he’d heard of them before, he never paid any attention to them. After all, those who entered the sect through the Bamboo Forest were considered trash and not worth his attention.

However, after experiencing the Bamboo Forest himself, Ji Ran had come to acknowledge—even respect those who had to endure such a life for many years just to become a disciple of the Immortal Monastery.

"What are your plans now?" Yuan asked Ji Ran a moment later.

"I am going to focus on my cultivation for now. We only have ten years to become an Inner Court disciple," he replied. "While it’s shorter than the 30 years we’re supposed to get, we get more cultivation resources here, so it kind of balances out."

"What about you, Young Master?"

"I will focus my cultivation for a little before I turn my focus to acquiring points," said Yuan.

"Points, huh? Now that you mention it, it might be better to focus on points since it has so many uses, and I can even speed up my cultivation with it," Ji Ran muttered.

"However, it’s not easy earning points, and I don’t even know where to begin."

"You can earn points by selling magical beast materials, especially their cores," Yuan revealed.

"Wait… there’s only one place with magical beasts accessible by Outer Court disciples. Have you already gone to the Hunting Grounds?" Ji Ran looked at Yuan with wide eyes.

Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

"How strong are the magical beasts?" Ji Ran then asked.

"The weakest magical beast you’ll find is at the fifth level of Spirit Apprentice."

"Fifth level?! But you’ve only just become a cultivator recently! Did you somehow retain your original body and talents?" Ji Ran exclaimed with a shocked face.

"No, but I did purchase a Golden Spirit Pill with my points."

"How many points did that cost you?"

"7,500."

"That’s too expensive… I only have a little over a thousand," Ji Ran sighed.

After chatting for a little longer, Ji Ran left to visit the point store while Yuan returned home to continue his cultivation.
