"Senior sister," Chu zu called out to Xu xin.
"Oh, it is brother Chu zu," Said Xu xin.
Xu Xin approached his junior brother and asked, "How was your gain?".
"It was bountiful, and I was fortunate enough to come across a secret technique, but it does not seem to blend with my cultivation technique, so I am thinking of contributing it to the sect in exchange for points."
"That is an excellent junior brother," Said Xu xin.
"Come to think of it, Senior sister, I saved this for you," Chu zu said, smiling.
He brought it out. An earth grade alchemy fruit? Xu xin exclaimed.
"I'm sorry junior brother, but this is too precious, I can't accept this from you".
"Senior sister, just accept this as a gift from me, and I'm giving this to you because I know how beneficial it would help in your cultivation".
"Then I won't be polite, thank you junior brother, have you seen brother Xuan Ping?". Xu xin asked almost immediately.
"No, come to think of it I did not come across him, but I'm sure he will be fine".
"Anyway, let find him… Yes senior sister".
They moved out to search for Xuan ping.
★In the dimension★
I, Xuan Ping, promise to take revenge on behalf of you, and not to let anyone know about the existence of the heavenly manuals and if I go back on my word I should be stricken to death immediately by lightning.
After Xuan ping finished with the swear, another inscription appeared on the tablet, and he continued to read. Move to the front of the altar and kowtow three times on the laid mat and receive my inheritance.
He moved to the altar, followed the instructions and kowtowed three times, so he stood up to look for the inheritance but found non, it felt more like he was played, he was really frustrated.
He decided to find his way out, feeling agitated, then his head began to ache him.
Wondering why, he later realized that he heard a bang sound while kowtowing, so he went back to where the mat was laid, removed it then he found a sign of something been buried, he then opened up and saw a box buried underneath the mat, he opened the box then found two manuals, an energy core, a spatial ring alongside a letter.
The first thing he did was open the letter and began to read: If you've found this box, definitely you obeyed my instructions.
The manuals inside the box are my life cultivated techniques and if you are to cultivate it you have to abolish your previous cultivation and start anew with this manual. The core contains my one thousand years of cultivation QI all you have to do is just swallow it, to have enough QI to cultivate the techniques about the spatial ring that is my gift to you (use it well).
Revenge me! And save the continent from doom.
What a sad ending, he was probably killed by his brother, anyway concerning the manual, I don't have a problem with it since I have not even cultivated in my life, let me check what is inside this spatial ring… how come it is not responding, maybe it needs a bit of QI to activate, then I think it is time to see what is inside.
Xuan ping brought out the core and swallowed it.
At first, there was no reaction, he was already thinking how easy it was to take in someone's one thousand years of hard work, then suddenly something inside his stomach began to twist.
"Argh!"
He began to groan in pain as there was a forceful burst due to the abundance and pureness of the QI rushing into his body, "so painful," he proclaimed.
"I don't think I can endure it any longer".
He fainted and fell face flat on the floor all alone in the dimension, fortunately he was forced out of the dimension with the manuals sucked into the spatial ring.
…
"Where could brother Xuan be?".
"Senior sister, come over here, I've seen him".
"Brother Xuan ping, brother Xuan… seems like he fainted".
"What could have happened to him… Anyway, let's head back to the sect," said Xu xin feeling worried.
"Yes senior sister". They moved out of the secret realm and back to the pure Jade sect.
Treatment hall
Consciousness slowly returned to Xuan Ping as he opened his eyes and realized that he was in an unfamiliar place - it was neither the secret realm nor his own room.
"Where am I, how did I get here?" Xuan ping began to get worried since he had never been to the treatment hall throughout his stay in the sect.
"Calm down, junior brother, you are back to the sect," said Xu xin. "You are not even worried about how long you have been unconscious".
How come, but I was…
Xu xin interrupted, you seem confused anyway, we met you unconscious on the ground along a passage in the secret realm, then we brought you back to the sect immediately.
"Oh… thank you, senior sister Xu".
Back to realization, "Wait!, did you see anything beside me?" Xuan ping asked as he began to ponder distressed, hoping not to miss the precious opportunity he had stumbled upon, he just couldn't say exactly what it was since he had vowed not to disclose it to a third party. (hmm, very honest).
"No, we didn't see anything when we saw you. You were all alone faced flat on the ground," she said, laughing for a bit.
"I will check on you later, junior brother". Xu xin stood up, looked back and smiled and walked out of the room. I am glad he is okay, she murmured.
"Thank you, senior sister".
(He stood up, walks around thinking)
"Why can't I still feel my QI even after receiving the inheritance of an unparalleled master, even the manuals have gone missing. It seems like I'm destined to be a trash after all".
"I had even forgotten to ask senior sister how I'm going to exchange these treasures into points," he said, looking at his finger, but to his shock he saw another ring that was more distinct from the other spatial ring.
"Wow! So, I did not lose it, feeling too excited," he decided to check things out himself.
…
Xuan ping left his room and went looking for the treasure pavilion, after fifteen minutes of searching.
"I guess this is the place I'm looking for. Fifty thousand points, Wait! Your dad is coming to get you… He-he," he said smiling, but did not last long due to what he heard, and it really turned him off.
"Isn't that the trash, what a pity the sect just wasted a slot on that trash and still came back empty, he ought to be ashamed".
"Brother… stop talking like it is his fault".
"Talking about him adds dirt to my mouth… Push!," he spat out.
"Let get going".
The old Xuan ping would have been annoyed at what he just heard, but this time around he laughed, "How does calling my name add dirt to his mouth? I guess he himself should be called a trash," he said, entering the contribution hall.
As he entered, he was welcomed by a pretty lady with a bright smile.
"What do you want, young master?" she asked.
Wow! I guess the fact that Xuan ping does not go around the sect made his mouth go agape. "She is beautiful! Anyway, she is not as beautiful as sister Xu xin," he blushed, almost losing composition.
"Are you here to exchange your point for something?" she asked again.
Hmm, he composed himself and passed the spatial ring to her, "I want to exchange what is in there for points".
"Ok".
She checked what was inside the spatial ring and shouted, "Only the elder can take care of this much," she rushed to call the elder, "Wait a minute young master".
As the elder who precedes over the contribution hall came around, he was shocked at whom he saw, "Xuan ping! You're the one who brought this number of treasures?"
"Yes, elder gui," he replied.
During my exploration in the secret realm, I happened to be suctioned into a space where I came across a large amount of treasure, since it wouldn't be of use to me. So, I decided to donated it to the sect in exchange for contribution point.
"Wow! But why have you not come to exchange them for points since you came back from the secret realm?".
"I'm sorry elder, I could have come, but I have been unconscious since my return from the secret realm".
Ok, anyway, you have to wait until we sort out these treasures you brought, and your point will be determined after that.
"Yes elder".
Xuan Ping grew increasingly agitated after waiting for an hour for the treasures to be sorted out and his contribution point to be awarded. He eventually stood up about to leave, intending to return later as he still had many things to explore.
"Young master! Please don't go, it has been settled already, so the elder seeks your presence," said the pretty miss.
"Finally, what took them so long," he thought as he followed the miss as they both headed into a chamber.
"Elder, here he is," she said and took her leave.
"Xuan ping, hope you are not annoyed at how long it took anyway it just that the treasures are not just much but of high quality, so we had to call for a high-grade appraiser".
"Not at all elder, even if it takes a day, I'd have waited patiently for the elders' response," he said, thinking who wouldn't be annoyed at just sitting and looking at those boring displays of low-grade artifact.
The account of the treasures are five hundred earth grade techniques, one hundred and fifty mid-earth grade techniques, sixty heaven grade techniques and five saint grade techniques, although no divide grade.
[Hmm, you think I'd have left something that precious and scarce for mere contribution points?] he scoffed.
Xuan ping began to think, "Thank God the manuals were all labeled, so I was able to keep the two divine grade techniques, and artifacts".
The elder continued, three hundred precious grade artifacts, twenty-five saint grades and sixty heavenly grade artifacts also five hundred bottles containing twenty pills which are of saint grade each.
So, we have come to a conclusion, and you will be awarded with five thousand contribution points, the elder threw to him the device that records the number of points one possesses, but unfortunately, Xuan ping's objection came as a surprise to him.
"Elder gui if I'm correct, the treasures amount to eleven thousands and a hundred, this alone is enough for the sect treasure pavilion to flourish for fifty years to come. And you want me to exchange it for just five thousand points? If that is it, I will take my treasures back," Xuan ping said without a lit of fear.
"Ok, what do think then," he asked Xuan ping.
Asking that question was the mistake of his life, and immediately Xuan ping raised all his fingers.
"What! Ten thousand points". Elder gui raised his voiced without knowing. When did he become a cunning bastard, thought elder gui but what he heard next almost made him faint?
"No, I meant A hundred thousand points," he said calmly. "Nothing less, or I'll withdraw the treasures".
"Ok," the elder had no other choice but to record the points for him because those kinds of treasures were really hard to come by.
"Thank you, Elder gui".
Xuan ping smiled," it is nice doing business with you, and left the treasure pavilion".
White lotus sect hall
"Sect master, please decide concerning Xuan Ping, we can't let a trash like that tarnish the image of our sect".
"Yes, Sect master, I agree with what elder peng said, let's leave the fact that he was entrusted to you by a powerful individual before he died, rules will always remain rules".
"Enough! Elder Zhang, I want to hear your opinion on this matter".
"Yes sect master, since he can't cultivate, I suggest we send him to old Taoist jun, even if old Jun cannot find a solution to Xuan ping cultivation, at least he'll be safe with him studying hard as he had always done".
They all looked towards elder Zhang and nodded their heads in agreement to his opinion, That is a good idea.
"Hmm, since you all agree, we will do as he had said".
"Elder gui, Please send Xuan Ping over to me, I need to have a chat with him, it is time for him to know about his background before he leaves".
"Yes sect master".
"You can all take your leave".
(They all bowed and left slowly).
