Shen Yuan Ring

"Sister Yueyue, since we can still receive resources today, can we exchange those cultivation resources for spirit weapons?"

"Yes, we only have one Seven Star Blade right now, and even Pu Yu uses a blade for sword practice. If we could choose a Yuan-grade weapon this time, it would save us a lot of points."

Wang Yueyue was also confused by their thought process, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

(Even if you are the sons of the patriarch, the inner court would never issue you Yuan artifacts, let alone since you are just ordinary clansmen.)

"Well, shouldn't you be more in need of cultivation pills? Besides, it's definitely out of the question for spirit artifacts. If you were to choose spirit artifacts, the other groups would probably want them too. Even if the inner courtyard has plenty of supplies, it's not possible to distribute them arbitrarily."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohu could only resign himself to his fate and said, "Alright then, free resources are better than none. Even a small mosquito is still meat."

"Sister Yueyue, if there's nothing else, let's go get the resources so we don't forget today!"

Wang Yueyue was about to get up and leave when she slapped her forehead and said, "You guys almost confused me. I forgot to mention another important thing."

“Starting next month, you will need to complete at least three tasks each month. Of course, each task will have a substantial points reward. I will accompany you throughout the process, but I will only help you if your lives are in danger. If I intervene, it means your task has failed, and you will not receive the points reward.”

"what!"

"Sister Yueyue, can we skip the task?"

"No! These tasks are mainly for your training. Besides, if you don't do the tasks, where will you get the points? Without points, how will you get the resources for cultivation? The other groups haven't complained, and you've been enjoying this for free for three months. What's there to resist?"

"Sister Yueyue, what if I told you that we have enough cultivation resources?"

"That won't do either. The mission is not only part of your training, but also a way to test your cultivation results. Don't worry about not being able to complete the mission. Your current cultivation levels are much higher than those of Group Two, not to mention that there's that freak Ji Daoyi around."

"Alright, since it's part of the training camp, we won't object."

Seeing that everyone had accepted this fact, Wang Yueyue felt much more at ease, so she walked towards the resource hall with them.

“Since we have a mission starting tomorrow, and we don’t know when it will start, let’s take this opportunity to each choose a spirit weapon to protect ourselves. I’ve roughly calculated that I have tens of thousands of points here, enough for each of us to buy a mid-grade yellow spirit weapon,” Ji Zihan whispered to the group.

"Should we wait until Dao Yi comes out of seclusion before deciding? After all, he earned these points through alchemy," Sun Puyue suggested.

"Isn't Dao Yi in seclusion right now? I believe Dao Yi would agree to this if he knew I was doing it. There's no difference between buying it now and buying it later. Besides, if Dao Yi comes out of seclusion, we'll immediately go on a mission. We won't have time to choose the artifacts."

“I agree with what Sister Zihan said. We don’t lack pills now. We have hundreds of pills like Body Tempering Pills, Rejuvenation Pills, and Poria Cocos Beast Blood Pills. We don’t have the opportunity to use Yuan Weapons in combat in the Inner Court, but we will inevitably have to fight with others when we do missions in the future. Having a good Yuan Weapon will greatly increase the success rate of missions.”

“I agree. It just so happens that I don’t have a sword yet. This is a good opportunity to choose a sword that suits me. Otherwise, using the Seven Star Saber instead of a sword when practicing the Green Bamboo Sword Technique always makes me feel that my swordsmanship is not smooth.”

Wang Yueyue suddenly noticed four little devils whispering behind her, so she stopped to listen to what they were saying.

Upon noticing that Wang Yueyue had stopped moving forward, Ji Xiaohu and the others gradually fell silent as well.

Wang Yueyue didn't hear the specifics clearly, and her heart felt itchy, as if it had been scratched by a cat's claws.

Unable to resist, he asked, "Xiao Hu, what were you guys whispering about just now? You were being so secretive. Tell me! Are you hiding something from me?"

Ji Xiaohu also cried out in grievance, but in reality he was panicking, "Sister Yueyue, how could we possibly hide anything from you? We were just discussing what resources to get, and who would get those resources for Brother Dao."

Wang Yueyue asked with some doubt, "Really??"

(Am I just overthinking things? But I have a feeling they're hiding something. Oh well, when did I become so paranoid? Maybe I'm going through menopause.)

Ji Xiaohu immediately replied, "Of course!!"

The others couldn't help but nod in agreement, indicating that Ji Xiaohu was right.

“I will collect Ji Daoyi’s cultivation resources on his behalf. You only need to take your own share. I will give them to him when he comes out of seclusion.”

"Okay, Sister Yueyue."

After Wang Yueyue finished speaking, she didn't ask Ji Xiaohu any more questions.

Ji Xiaohu and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as they had promised Ji Daoyi not to reveal his secret of being able to refine high-grade pills.

Although Ji Daoyi only refined pills a few times in the past month, they distributed more each time, and many medium-grade pills were exchanged for points.

Only then did they understand why Ji Daoyi had initially said he could provide everyone with pills for cultivation, and why he was unwilling to share the pills and points obtained from the first pill refining.

Ji Xiaohu and the others were able to accumulate their current wealth and resources in just over a month entirely because of Ji Daoyi; they were simply reaping the benefits without contributing anything in return.

As far as they knew, even most of the inner court disciples didn't necessarily have more points than them, let alone high-grade pills.

Many people exchange for mid-grade pills for daily use, while high-grade pills are used to break through cultivation levels.

Soon,

Accompanied by Wang Yueyue, Ji Xiaohu and the others received their last cultivation resources. Although the manager in charge of the resources was very reluctant, he only reluctantly agreed to give them one last time after Wang Yueyue's persistent pleading.

"Sister Yueyue, we'd like to go up to the second floor and see if there are any suitable artifacts for us."

"What's so interesting about it? You can't afford it now. A mid-grade Yellow-level artifact costs at least several thousand points, and a high-grade one costs tens of thousands."

"We're just watching, isn't that what motivates us to do the mission?"

"Alright. I'll go see what tasks are suitable for you guys first. Once Dao Yi leaves the pass, we'll do a task to test the waters."

After Wang Yueyue left, Ji Zihan went to the steward again.

"What else do you guys want? If you still want cultivation resources, you'll have to exchange them for points. I won't let you take resources for free this time."

"Manager, it's not something we can just take for free. We just want to go upstairs to see if there are any suitable spirit artifacts for us. If there are, we'll exchange them with our points."
