"Me?" Wu Ling asked, trying to keep the surprise in his voice mild. The sect wouldn't frown on it if they thought he had a relationship with Meifeng, but he didn't want to create any mistaken impressions while she was joining the sect. "You mean in the sense that it will help me choose a second path since I'm close to being a late-stage Aesthete and then an Understudy?"
"No, I mean because the number of crystals each of your companions lights up will determine how many contribution points you receive for bringing them into the sect. If they lack the potential to become second-stage cultivators without the support of pills and elixirs, you'll be awarded five hundred contribution points, but if they have greater potential then each larger stone that lights up is worth an additional thousand points for you and each smaller stone is worth one hundred," the Novice Scholar said.
