"Senior Brother Qing, I would like to exchange contribution points with this Senior Brother. Thank you for your trouble."
The odd-job disciple walked up to the counter and smiled at the inner sect disciple behind the counter. The difference in status between a part-time disciple and an inner disciple was like a chasm. Every time the Ancient Star System Pavilion opened its doors to accept disciples, they were specially accepted. Every part-time disciple had to complete a mandatory mission each year.
This kind of mission could not be rejected, and it was very likely that it would take up a whole year, or even three or four months if it was fast. For example, guarding a certain place, cleaning a certain place, and so on. However, there were still many cultivators who flocked to the sect. Even though they could only become odd job disciples, they were more than happy to do so. That was because the status of odd job disciples in the sect wasn't high. However, outside the sect, the factions that didn't have a Great Emperor suppressing them still had to give them some respect.
It was a matter of face.
"Yes."
Behind the counter, the indifferent inner sect disciple nodded his head and looked at Ning Qi. "Origin Essence Stone."
Ning Qi smiled, took out eight thousand and four hundred Origin Essence Stones, and handed them over.
"Senior Brother Qing, our ratio is two hundred to one."
The Odd Job Disciple hurriedly reminded.
At the same time, he gave Senior Brother Qing a jade slip.
Senior Brother Qing looked at the jade slip and said to Ning Qi, "There are 40 contribution points inside. Confirm the amount."
Then, he handed the jade slip to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi was slightly stunned.
So the contribution points were placed on the jade slips? Then why did they come here to trade?
Taking the Jade Slip, Ning Qi scanned it with his Divine Thought and found that there were 36 light spots inside. These light spots seemed to be a formation set up on the Jade Slip by some special means. It was extremely complicated and difficult to understand. It was probably the means of a fifth-step cultivator.
"Thirty-six?"
Ning Qi frowned.
"Don't you understand the rules? You'll get one out of every ten contribution points? I've never seen you before. When did you enter the sect? "
Senior Brother Qing calmly looked at Ning Qi, a look of judgement in his eyes. Although he could sense that Ning Qi was a Karma cultivator, Ning Qi's grey robes indicated that he was only an outer sect disciple.
"Senior Brother, it is indeed a one-in-ten rule."
The odd-job disciple hurriedly transmitted his voice.
"Okay, I got it."
Ning Qi smiled, turned around, and left without answering Senior Brother Qing's question. Seeing this, Senior Brother Qing coldly snorted, "He asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"
"I'm a disciple from the previous batch."
Ning Qi stopped and looked at Senior-apprentice Brother Qing. "I wonder what advice Senior-apprentice Brother Qing has for me?"
"Oh? Last term? Did you enter the sect with Senior Xiong Lie? Why is he an inner sect disciple and you an outer sect disciple? "
Senior Brother Qing's expression changed.
"Go ask Senior Sister Ye."
Ning Qi smiled and turned to leave. This time, Senior-apprentice Brother Qing didn't stop him because he didn't know what the relationship between Ning Qi and Xiong Lie was. Recently, Xiong Lie had been in the limelight. In just a short hundred years, he had cultivated the Foundation Cultivation Method to the peak of the fifth level and condensed a Soul Core in his Knowledge Sea.
Because of his natal star, his strength had increased greatly!
And this was the goal that all inner sect disciples worked hard for. Many inner sect disciples spent hundreds of years and still might not be able to achieve it! Ning Qi spent the time it took to drink a cup of tea to find the counter for the exchange of the Foundation Cultivation Method. He used 20 contribution points to exchange for the second level of the Foundation Cultivation Method. He also glanced at the prices of the third, fourth, and fifth levels. The third level required 100 contribution points.
However, the fourth level required 500 contribution points, and the fifth level actually required 1,000 contribution points. This meant that the entire Foundation Cultivation Method would cost more than 300,000 origin stones.
An ordinary peak Dao Seeking Realm cultivator only had a net worth of a million origin stones, and this was after including pills and treasures. Most origin stones that could be used were only 200,000 to 300,000 origin stones …
"Senior-apprentice Brother Xiong Lie!"
"Junior Brother greets Senior-apprentice Brother Xiong Lie. Congratulations on condensing your natal star and cultivating the rank one Ancient Star Body. In the future, the speed at which you can absorb the power of the stars will be 100 times faster than us. One day, you will definitely be promoted to a core disciple!"
Rank one Ancient Star Body?
Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly and he looked into the distance. He saw Xiong Lie surrounded by many outer and inner sect disciples with a smile on his face.
Whether it was the inner or outer sect disciples, they were all flattering Xiong Lie. It was obvious that after condensing a natal star, one's status in the inner sect was extremely high!
"Rank one Ancient Star Body should be a unit used to calculate the strength of the body. My basic physical strength has increased by hundreds of times during this period of time. I wonder if it counts as a rank one Ancient Star Body? Or do I need to condense a natal star to count? "
Ning Qi thought to himself.
He guessed that the Ancient Star Body not only meant that the body had reached a certain level, but it also had something to do with the power of the stars. Otherwise, there wouldn't be disciples complimenting Xiong Lie for absorbing the power of the stars 100 times faster than them.
"If I can also condense the Ancient Star Body, will it be possible for me to absorb more power of the stars from the Star Giant?"
Thinking of this, Ning Qi's eyes lit up. He felt that it was necessary to find someone and ask them about the Ancient Star Body.
Afterward, Ning Qi walked out of the Hidden Star Hall. Xiong Lie seemed to be there to exchange for some kind of elixir. When Ning Qi walked to the entrance of the Hidden Star Hall, Xiong Lie happened to look at him. He was slightly startled and his eyes suddenly revealed a trace of surprise.
"Didn't you defect?"
Xiong Lie pointed directly at Ning Qi and shouted.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Countless eyes fell on Ning Qi. At the same time, a cultivator with extremely fast reactions appeared in front of Ning Qi and blocked his path.
"Who told you that I defected?"
Ning Qi was slightly startled.
"On the second day you entered the sect, you disappeared without a trace. Now that more than 90 years have passed, even Senior Sister Ye personally went to the Law Enforcement Hall to register you as a defector and must kill. What else do you have to say?"
Xiong Lie said coldly.
The handyman disciple who had previously traded contribution points with Ning Qi looked at Ning Qi with a dumbfounded expression. Then, his whole body turned cold and his forehead gradually broke out in cold sweat.
"This guy turned out to be a defector? He defected from the Ancient Star Pavilion? How could I be so unlucky to have a relationship with him … Fortunately, it's just a trade of contribution points. With Senior Brother Qing as a witness, I should be fine … "
"What a joke. What does a few decades count for when a cultivator is in closed door cultivation?"
Ning Qi sneered.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly relaxed.
Thinking about it, it was normal. Who would defect on the second day after joining the Ancient Star Pavilion? It didn't make sense at all!
"So … you've been in closed door cultivation during this time? But why can't I find any trace of you … "
Xiong Lie was slightly startled.
