Inside the dorm, Xiang Ru Gu bowed down to Ling Xian. His handsome face that would make even women jealous was full of appreciation.
"There is no need to thank me. I merely did it out of convenience." Ling Xian smiled, indicating that there was no need to be so courteous.
"To you, it was probably because of convenience. But to me, you saved my life. "Xiang Ru Gu didn't stand up. Instead, he bowed down to Ling Xian twice more before straightening his body.
"I don't need your thanks."
Ling Xian shook his head. Remembering Xiang Ru Gu's pained expression, he couldn't help but to laugh, "You sure are dumb. You know that the inner demon is growing, yet you continue to push forward. You never tried to suppress it."
"I have my own reasons."
Xiang Ru Gu spoke softly. His handsome face was calm and there was no telling if he was happy or angry.
"It seems like this reason has something to do with your inner demon." Ling Xian's eyes flashed with curiosity.
The inner demon is formed from stubbornness and the chances of it being born is very low. Only those who were stubborn and couldn't let go of a certain matter could appear.
In other words, Xiang Ru Gu cannot let go of something.
"You don't need to worry about that."
As if Ling Xian had poked a taboo, Xiang Ru Gu's face turned cold. He raised an eyebrow and his demeanor turned threatening.
"It seems like he has a past he doesn't want to remember."
Sighing, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he teased, "This is how you treat someone who saved your life?"
"Hmmph, didn't you say you don't need me to repay you?" Xiang Ru Gu hissed.
"I really don't need it. But at the very least, you should treat me better." Ling Xian grinned, "Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Hearing this, Xiang Ru Gu's expression softened, "Don't worry, I will remember what you did for me and I will repay you in the future."
"It's okay. I don't need you to repay me."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and said in a low voice, "I have been in isolation for about 10 years. Tell me, did anything big happen while I was in isolation?"
"Nothing big."
Xiang Ru Gu thought about it, "But during these 10 years, an elder from the Path of Crafts would come here every few days to ask if you have returned."
"Dong Fang Bi?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He didn't think this old man would be so persistent and visit every few days.
"Also, Instructor Dongfang Yu is going crazy."
Xiang Ru Gu's expression was complex. He couldn't guess where Ling Xian came from. Not only was he able to suppress his inner demon, but he was also able to make Dong Fang Bi, who was second only to the Leader of the Path of Crafts, come looking for him.
"Oh?"
Ling Xian frowned, "Didn't she already agree to skip class? Why would she go crazy?"
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Xiang Ru Gu's face, "She did promise you that you don't have to come to class, but she didn't promise you that you don't have to take the exam."
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow and questioned.
"Every two years, the students of the Path of Crafts have to take a test. If you pass, you can move up. If you don't, you have to stay back."
Xiang Ru Gu's face was full of helplessness, "And you disappeared for 10 years and missed 5 tests. Do you think Instructor Dongfang will go crazy?"
Awkwardness flashed across Ling Xian's face and he smiled, "Now that you put it that way, I will go crazy."
At this, Xiang Ru Gu suddenly found it funny, "During these five tests, everyone in our class has advanced. In other words, you are the only one who stayed back. You are also the only one in the history of the Path of Crafts to remain a first grader after 10 years. "
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't think he would be the last in 10 years.
However, he didn't think much of it. So what he was last? His Tools Method Attainments could not be measured by ranking.
Therefore, he only found it funny and said, "Apart from these two things, is there anything else?"
Xiang Ru Gu was silent for a while, "Nothing during the time you disappeared. But in three months, something big is going to happen."
"What is it?" Ling Xian was interested.
However, after hearing what Xiang Ru Gu had to say, his interest disappeared.
"The Competition of the Four Paths that happens once every 10 years."
Xiang Ru Gu's eyes flashed with heat, "This is a competition for all those who have entered the Path of the Four Paths in the last 10 years. They are divided into cultivation, arrays, crafts, and alchemy. As long as one has entered the Path of the Four Paths in the last 10 years, anyone can participate. There are no restrictions. "
"As long as one can stand out in the competition, not only will one gain glory, one will also gain rich rewards. It is a competition that everyone wants to participate in."
Xiang Ru Gu's face was heated as he continued to talk. However, he didn't realize that after he spoke the first sentence, Ling Xian lost interest.
As for what he said after that, Ling Xian didn't listen to a single word.
Of course he knew about the Competition of the Four Paths. It was because he knew that he wasn't interested.
In other words, this was a competition for the descendants of the four paths. With his abilities, participating in this competition would be no different than bullying the other competitors.
Therefore, he naturally wasn't interested.
However, what Xiang Ru Gu said next made his eyes brighten.
"The competition this time is different than usual. I don't know why, but the prizes this time are extra generous."
Xiang Ru Gu's face was heated, "I heard that the first place prize is 50,000 contribution points. It is the most generous prize in history."
"50,000 contribution points!"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. If he had to ask what he lacked the most right now, it would be contribution points.
Even though he was earning contribution points at a fast speed, every time he thought about the astronomical number he would need to exchange for the Shang Qing Technique, he felt his head hurt. Even with his abilities, it would take him a long time to earn that much.
Based on what he remembered, most of the time, the winner of the Competition of the Four Paths only gets 10,000 contribution points. There were very few situations where the winner could get 20,000. 50,000 was a number that had never been seen before.
Therefore, he was a little tempted.
"That's right. The prizes this time are very generous."
Xiang Ru Gu's eyes flashed with anticipation, "50,000 contribution points. If I get them, I can exchange them for many treasures."
Hearing this, the heat in Ling Xian's eyes intensified.
It was obvious that he was tempted.
Winning one title would earn him 50,000 contribution points. If he was able to monopolize all four champions in the Grand Competition, wouldn't that mean he would be able to obtain 200,000 Contribution Points?
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian be tempted?
Luckily, nobody knew what he was thinking. Or else if they knew he was aiming for all four titles, they would laugh at him for being crazy.
The Shang Qing Sect was full of talents. To be able to win the competition of the Competition of the Four Paths was already something unbelievable, let alone winning all four.
To achieve that, one must have extraordinary skills in cultivation, arrays, crafts, and alchemy!
After all, there were very few people who could cultivate two Daos and achieve success. How could it be possible to cultivate four Daos?
"It looks like I will have to participate in the Competition of the Four Paths." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile and made up his mind.
Not for anything else, but for the huge sum of 200,000 Contribution Points, he had to participate no matter what!
