“Spirit Value? What is that!?”
Ye Zhong frowned at Su Yu’s question.
Su Yu’s expressive look was as if she almost collapsed. With a casual wave of her hand, a golden Spirit Value Token appeared on her palm. She then threw it towards Ye Zhong, “Take a look and see for yourself, what’s the difference between mine and yours?”
Ye Zhong took it, and felt a chill in his hand the moment he touched it. A strange sensation appeared in his mind suggesting that it has 5,000 points within it.
However, Ye Zhong did not feel that way about the Spirit Value Tokens earlier.
Ye Zhong threw her Spirit Value Token back with a puzzled look, and frowned. “So the numbers in there are the so-called Spirit Value?”
“That’s right, regardless of whether it is in the Wanxiang City or our Xingxiang Sect, Spirit Value Point are worth even more than Spirit Stones, because in the Xingxiang Sect, as long as you have enough Spirit Value points, you can exchange them for any Spiritual Secret Art, Spirit Vessel[1] or any other cultivation resource you want. But if you don’t have Spirit Value, I’m afraid you can only sleep on the streets!” Su Yu said with a smile, “Are you interested now?”
The so-called Wanxiang City was an outer city of the Xingxiang Sect. It could be regarded as the outer sect of the Xingxiang Sect. It was said that this was a city even more prosperous than the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Imperial Capital, Yanjing. Ye Zhong thought about the feeling of sleeping out on the streets in that place, and could not stop his eyes from twitching.
Understanding the importance of the so-called Spirit Value Points, Ye Zhong sighed and nodded, even though he knew that Su Yu’s sudden interest in him was probably not a good thing. However, these points could be exchanged for any cultivation resource, and it was lucrative for Ye Zhong. If the things he needed to cultivate the Secret Art of Six Paths Buried Sword could be exchanged for Spirit Value Points, then perhaps the cultivation process would be much easier.
…………
In the Feihong Martial House, a secluded mid-lake pavilion. Su Yu, Ye Zhong, and Wang Mo sat facing each other.
On the other hand, Su Yu still had a sweet smile on her face. It was unknown how many innocent boys were mesmerized by it. Ye Zhong was expressionless facing this alluring beauty. But that wasn’t the case for Wan Mo. He knew that he would not be able to resist Su Yu’s charm. Thus, his gaze was fixed on the tip of his feet.
She reached out a finger that was as white as goat fat, dipped it in the tea and drew a circle on the table. Su Yu then said, “You should know about the importance of Spirit Value, right? Simply put, as long as you have enough Spirit Value, regardless of how broke you are, you will be able to survive in the Xingxiang Sect. There are two sources for Spirit Value points:
First, each month, the disciples which are divided according to their status. Generally, Inner Disciples get 200 Spirit Value points per month while Outer Disciples get only 50 Spirit Value Points. After considering our friendship, I can tell you that, in the Xingxiang Sect, just 200 Spirit Value points, are not enough for you to last a month. Of course, if your clan were to support you, you can use a large amount of resources and manpower to exchange for Spirit Value points, but that would be too much of a loss;
And secondly, we can go out for Sect Mission, there are a large number of missions available any time, which will be issued by Sect’s Mission Hall. Rewards vary according to the difficulty of the mission, but of course, these rewards will be Spirit Value Points.”
“And Sect Missions are usually divided into three ranks: High, Middle, and Low. What I’ve accepted this time is a Mid-rank Mission. Of course, with my strength, I can barely accept this kind of mission.” Su Yu shrugged her shoulders.
“Then how much is the reward for this mission?” Ye Zhong spoke slowly after a moment of silence. If the reward was too little, he didn’t want to waste time. He might as well go to the Southern Border and see if he could find the Purple Wood Spirit Root.
A moment later, Su Yu let out a sigh and said softly, “20,000 Spirit Value points.”
“Twenty thousand!?” Hearing this, Ye Zhong took in a deep breath. Although he did not know what 20,000 Spirit Value points meant in the sect, he could tell that 20,000 Spirit Value points was not a simple amount just by comparing it for an Inner Disciple who only had 200 Spirit Value points a month.
“If I want the Purple Wood Spirit Root, how much can I exchange it for?” The next moment, Ye Zhong actually asked the question he was most concerned about.
“What do you want that shitty thing for?” Su Yu looked at Ye Zhong in confusion, but after a moment of thought, he said lightly, “That thing might not be of much use, but I remember it’s very valuable. I think 20,000 Spirit Value points should be enough to exchange for one.”
“What is it? Junior Brother Ye Zhong, are you interested?” Su Yu observed the change in Ye Zhong’s expression and said thoughtfully.
“I can go with you, but Wang Mo also wants to go, so we’ll each get 5,000 Spirit Value Points.” After a moment of silence, Ye Zhong spoke softly.
“Pfff~~”
Su Yu spat out the tea in her mouth and slammed her palm on the table. She glared at Ye Zhong and said, “Younger Brother Ye Zhong! Do you really think that the sect mission is that easy? If you ask for half of the reward, your appetite is just too big! “
“Ye Zhong, it’s better if I don’t.” After Wang Mo heard this, he also spoke up.
Ye Zhong shook his head. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “What did Senior Sister Su Yu say?”
“I can give you 5,000 Spirit Value points. This is my bottom line.” Su Yu answered directly, “Also, this guy can’t go. He’s too weak, if he goes, I’m eighty-percent sure he won’t be able to come back.”
“Is it that dangerous?” Ye Zhong frowned.
“It should be dangerous. But with our strength, we should be able to protect ourselves. There is something that we need to send to the Southern Border.” Su Yu explained.
Southern Border. Ye Zhong was intrigued after hearing the news. He was originally planning to go to the Southern Border to find the Purple Wood Spirit Root, but Su Yu’s mission was also to go to the Southern Border. What a coincidence.
“Fine, I’ll go with you, but my salary will be half the amount in advance.” Ye Zhong nodded.
“You……This little devil——” Su Yu was speechless for a moment, and a depressed look appeared on her beautiful face. After a while, she sighed, stretched her fair palm towards Wang Mo and snorted, “Hand it over!”
“What?” Wang Mo was stunned for a moment. Why was it related to him again?
“Spirit Value Token,” Su Yu sighed. “You can’t tell, but Ye Zhong paid half of the advance fee just to give it to you?”
“Ye Zhong, I’m afraid this is not good. Besides——” Wang Mo frowned as he looked at Ye Zhong. He was already satisfied to be able to enter the Xingxiang Sect, and to still have to take Ye Zhong’s Spirit Value, he felt guilty.
“Bring your Spirit Value Points to Wanxiang City first. We are not familiar with the situation there. After I complete my mission, shouldn’t you prepare a decent cultivation location and find a good set of Body Tempering Spiritual Secret Arts?” Ye Zhong spoke slowly.
Hearing that, Wang Mo went silent for a moment, then nodded his head and handed his Spirit Value Token to Su Yu. Ye Zhong was right. Neither of them had been to the Xingxiang Sect before. Since he was going there now, it was normal for him to bring some Spirit Value Points with him to make some preparations.
Su Yu waved her hand and half of the Spirit Value inside her Token were transferred. Then, she stretched her waist and said softly, “Since you’ve already agreed to it, then we shouldn’t be wasting time. Let’s go now. If we’re too slow, the failure will be on your shoulders!”
“Wang Mo, then we’ll be leaving first.” Ye Zhong stood up and nodded. He already wanted to go to the Southern Border to search for the Purple Wood Spirit Root since a long time ago.
“If you have no objections, then leave.” Upon hearing Ye Zhong’s agreement, Su Yu did not waste any more words. Instead, she stood up, turned around and left.
Ye Zhong chuckled upon seeing Su Yu’s heroic attitude. Su Yu’s personality was straightforward, but she was also cute. However, it was obvious that she wasn’t someone easy to deal with. However, Ye Zhong did not have much of an opinion of her, except that he felt that this person could still be considered a friend.
Ye Zhong shrugged at Wang Mo and quickly caught up with Su Yu, heading out of the Feihong Martial House.
“Miss Su Yu, if you don’t mind, I’ll set up a feast tonight ……” House Master Mo Hai came from afar and said with a smile. This House Master is not willing to miss the chance to have a relationship with the Xingxiang Sect.
“Ye Zhong, I, and my sect will be doing the mission. Thank you for your kind intentions, House Master.” Su Yu smiled at Mo Hai. After greeting him, she led Ye Zhong out of the Feihong Martial House. The students who were watching from afar were the only ones left. They were envious of Ye Zhong.
The Trash of the Feihong Martial House had become a disciple of the Xingxiang Sect just like that, and he was already going for a mission? At this moment, many of the students suddenly felt their faces twitching in pain. The Trash that they themselves were shouting for had already joined the Xingxiang Sect, becoming an Inner Disciple. And what about them?
“If they were to find out that one of their branch family’s younger generation had somehow become an Inner Disciple of the Xingxiang Sect, I wonder if the Ye Clan, the Five Great Clans will regret it!?” Mo Hai did not get angry because of Su Yu’s rejection. He held his hands behind his back and watched the two silhouettes fly and disappear. A strange smile appeared on his face. He also vaguely knew the reason why Ye Zhong was able to receive a great attention, but someone had intentionally kept the news a secret. Even as one of the two great martial houses, the Feihong Martial House Master, he was unable to find everything at the moment.
“In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Martial House is only the equivalent of an ordinary clan. However, the Xingxiang Sect is the gathering place for true geniuses. The legendary Trash becoming the Inner Sect Disciple? Interesting.” After laughing for a moment, Mo Hai suddenly noticed Wang Mo walking out slowly from the corner of his eyes and his eyes lit up. He couldn’t get involved with those two Inner Disciples, so he couldn’t miss out on this Outer Disciple.
At this moment, Mo Hai walked over slowly with a warm smile.
