Chao Li finally got a chance to go outside, as his contribution points raised to 4000 in just a month.
If it were someone else, their salary would have been just around 100 points, but Chao Li earned 40 times more than that.
If a disciple earned 600 contribution points, his rank would rise in the Sect.
In the Sect, there are three ranks, Disciple, Member, and Grand Elder.
Every rank had three levels, so there were a total of Nine Levels in the Sect based on the contribution points.
At one time, if a level one disciple points crossed ten thousand contribution points, he would become a level two disciple.
Normally, outer Divison disciples were level one disciples, inner division disciples were level two Disciples, and core division disciples were level three disciples.
Like the same, members and elders had also been divided, and at the time of allocating the ranks, their contributions would also take into consideration.
Now Chao Li had 4000 contribution points, so if he gained another 6000 points, contribution wise he would be eligible to enter the inner division.
But contribution wasn't the only criteria to become an inner disciple, and apart from that, there were some other criteria. In fact, some outer division disciples became Level Two disciples, but due to some reasons, they hadn't become an inner disciples.
Anyway, Chao Li was satisfied to become a Level One disciple, as that now he could alone go outside.
"Now, all I had to do was to transfer the points from Master Dai Yi to me, and then I can go outside." Chao Li though inside.
He waited for Dai Yi to come, and in the evening, around four o clock, Dai Yi came back to his courtyard, and immediately, Chao Li went to him and said,
"Master Dai Yi, I sold the herbs as you said, and now they transferred the points to your account."
"I know!" Dai Yi said and continued, "I received 6000 contribution points, and as we agreed, I will recover the investment I placed upon you."
"In total, you owe me 2100 contribution points, so I have to give you 3900 points." He said,
Chao Li also nodded as everything Dai Yi said was true,
"Tell me your account number, and I will transfer the amount in some other name." Dai Yi asked.
Missionary Department would allot a unique number to everyone in the Sect, and all the transactions would go through that account only.
"Master Dai Yi, my account number is XXXXXXXXXXX," Chao Li told his account number.
After that, Dai Yi transferred the agreed amount to that account, and immediately when Chao Li got the amount, he got two messages.
"You got 3900 points from Dai Yi, account number XXXXXXXXX. Your updated balance is 3900 points."
"Congratulations Disciple Chao Li, now you become Level One Disciple, and from now onwards, your privileges are updated; if you want to know more about your privileges, visit the missionary department."
Chao Li received two messages, and he also read those messages and was delighted immediately.
After that, Chao Li gently asked, "Master Dai Yi, can I take leave for some days. I urgently need to go out!"
Dai Yi profoundly looked at Chao Li and asked, "Are you going to Mortal Land?"
"Yes, Master Dai Yi. I must go there urgently." Chao Li anxiously replied.
Dai Yi thought for some time and then said, "Ok, you can go."
"But before leaving, do you have any idea of outside?" Dai Yi asked.
"No, Master Dai Yi. Can you briefly enlighten me about outside?" Chao Li asked.
"Well, I will briefly explain about outside the sect." Dai Yi replied and continued,
"Our Planet's name is Hong Xing. Our Sect just occupies five percent of the land, but it controls everything on this planet."
"On this planet, there isn't any sea or such thing. But it has so many rivers and mountains, and they divided the land into small territories."
"All those territories are ruled by some small sects or kingdoms, but all those are ruled under our sect." Dai Yi seriously said and continued,
"And you know, all these habitable land only amount to 30 percent of the planet's land, and the remaining area is occupied by deadly forests, other spirit lands, and mines."
"Forests are occupied by Desolate Beasts, Spirit Lands filled with world spirits, and mines filled with Intent Crystals, but they were sometimes occupied by Desolate Beasts or World Spirits." Dai Yi solemnly explained.
"The Mortal Land you want to go had situated ten miles north to the Sect, but along the way, you have to cross one small forest filled with desolate beasts." Dai Yi severely warned,
"Although that forest doesn't have strong desolate beasts, for you, they are so deadly. Unless you have some flying vessel or climb a mountain, you can't safely reach Mortal Land with your strength." He strictly said.
Chao Li was slightly disappointed, but none of those threats stopped his determination to reach the Mortal Land.
"Master Dai Yi, is there any other way?" Chao Li gently requested. He knew, for every problem, there would be many solutions. All he had to do was search for those solutions.
"Well, if someone helps you cross the forest, you can reach it safely without any problems." Dai Yi suggested.
"Do you know any of those persons?" He asked.
Although Chao Li knew a few Floating Feather faction members who could help his problem, he didn't want to gather doubt about him, so he couldn't choose those people.
And from the interaction with Dai Yi for the past month, he knew that Dai Yi wouldn't definitely help him, so he hadn't asked Dai Yi's help.
"Master Dai Yi, I don't know any people who can help me out now." Chao Li straightforwardly replied.
Dai Yi mused for some time and said, "Well, for the present you, I have two better options."
"What are those, Master Dai Yi?" Chao Li asked.
"Well, the first one is buying something called Wind Talisman. Some Immortals with wind essence make something called Wing Talisman, and if you attach those Talismen to your legs, you can run at a super speed that none of the beasts in the forest can catch your trail."
"You require four Talismen, two for going and two for return through the forest. Each Talismen will cost you 300 points, so in total, you require to spend 1200 points on your mission." Dai Yi explained.
Chao Li didn't care for the cost then because getting Karmic Net Of Overarching Cosmos was the foremost thing of Chao Li at that time.
But even then, he wanted to know about another option, as although he didn't care for money, that didn't mean that he would lose money freely.
"Master Dai Yi, what is the second option?" Chao Li asked.
"That is, you can issue a bounty to someone to cross you that forest, and since that forest wasn't that deadly, you can just offer 300 points. But in this, you have to depend on someone else. So decide for yourself, which option you want to choose?" Dai Yi said.
Chao Li thought for some time and said, "Master, I will put up a bounty for 300 points, and at the same time, I will also buy two Wind Talismen for my safety, and so I can be insured, in every direction."
Dai Yi was slightly amused by Chao Li's wisdom, but he didn't show that on his face, and he carelessly said, "You can choose whatever you want."
After that, Dai Yi left from there, and then Chao Li went towards his room to get ready for tomorrow.
"First, put up some bounty!"
"Buy Wind Talismen!"
"Finally, take permission to go outside on the name of mission!" Chao Li muttered.
"Karmic Net Of Overarching Cosmos, I am coming to get you!"
While at that time, somewhere far from Profound Lightning Immortal Sect, on some black river, a person was seated on a boat with some rope in his hand.
That person looked like a fisherman, but at that time, that person profoundly muttered, "So he is coming!" and then questioned,
"I have a question for a long time; Who am I?"
"I am Karma of someone's past, the Karma of my present, and the Karma of his future."
"My purpose is coming to an end, but it isn't my true end, and there is no true end for Karma. I will live in some other form."
"Transcendent, I am waiting for you!"
