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 isn’t 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 couldn’t even begin to comprehend.
"How in heaven’s 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 they’d need to split the points. Yuan was fighting alone, so he could easily keep all points for himself.
"By the way, here’s 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.
"That’s the Golden Spirit Pill. Although not by much, it can boost one’s 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 don’t want to slow down your progress," Xi Meili said.
Yuan smiled and said, "It’s only 7,500 points. I can earn that much with a single monster core and some materials. It’ll 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 Ran’s 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 Yuan’s assistance out of pride.
However, she eventually accepted the Golden Spirit Pill.
"Thank you…" she mumbled.
