After the Sunset, Arjun took a bath and then went to the Golden Pin market. Arjun directly went into a restaurant where the three girls were waiting for him.
After getting inside he saw Siri, Pavitra and Ahalya sitting at a table, waiting for him.
Arjun approached them and with a gentle smile said "Congratulations on achieving the first step to immortality. Today I will order dishes for everyone on this occasion"
"Thank you, Arjun" Pavitra responded with a loving smile.
"I made it here thanks to you Arjun" Ahalya said.
"Fellow Daoist Arjun, thank you for your congratulations but the dishes here are a bit expensive and if we four were to have a feast it would cost us low-grade 5 spirit stones, which is equal to the monthly earning of many loose cultivators outside"
Arjun was surprised to hear that Spirit stones were so valuable but he said "It's okay I have earned a huge sum of spirit stones and fellow Daoist Herbs you don't need to be so formal with me you can just call me Arjun like the others"
Siri blushed and bit shyly said, "Okay... Okay Arjun".
After that Arjun ordered one of the restaurant's signature feasts costing him 7 low-grade spirit stones.
After the waiter went away to get their order. Arjun looked at Siri and asked "Siri, can you tell me more about the prices and the value of the spirit stones"
"Arjun, the spirit stones are of four types, namely the low grade, mid-grade, high grade, and top grade. 100 low-grade spirit stones are equal to 1 medium-grade spirit stone, 100 medium-grade spirit stones are equal to 1 high-grade spirit stone and 100 high-grade spirit stones are equal to 1 top-grade spirit stone"
"The loose cultivators outside without any sills like alchemy or talisman making can only earn around 5 spirit stones a month, and if he or she is skilled in alchemy or talisman making, one can earn around 10 spirit stones a month, but it takes a large number of resources to become one and if one wants to further go up in this path they will have to invest more and more spirit stones".
Siri drank the tea that was served as complimentary and continued "When it comes to cultivators belonging to a family they can easily earn 7 spirit stones a month and a Qi cultivation stage family would have assets at around 150 to 170 mid-grade spirit stones. The cultivators of these families earn 7 low-grade spirit stones a month, while the cultivators belonging to Sect like us can earn almost 9 spirit-grade stones a year. Arjun, in the future you will have to be careful with your expenditure"
After hearing Siri Arjun thought 'What she says does make sense, otherwise the Sect would not keep a task to meet the yearly requirement of 100 points, I will find a way to earn more Spirit stones and points'. Of course, Arjun also knew what Siri was saying about those with below-average to average talents.
Arjun said, "Okay, Okay, from now onwards I will save my spirit stones". The for of them continued to chat and then the waiter came to them and served the dishes.
The four of them ate the dinner. After eating dinner Arjun took them all to the Heavenly Cultivation peak and then went to the management hall and found senior brother Jay.
"the junior brother greets the Senior brother, Senior brother these fellow disciples also want to join the Heavenly cultivation peak, here are the tokens" Arjun greets Senior Jay with respect.
"Okay, tell me their details" After five minutes Jay noted all their details and then handed them their first moth's spirit stones and the same items he handed over to Arjun.
After that Senior Brother Jay gave the tokens to them and said "Junior brother Arjun, can you show them the way, I have to go to the peak manager, their abodes are 255, 257, 258, just beside yours"
Arjun agreed and then after two hours they arrived at the first cave abode, the belonging to Ahalya, no. 255, Arjun's were just beside her, no.256. They walked a little slow enjoying the scenery of the peak
After 15 minutes they passed by Arjun's abode and then arrived at Pavitra's, no.257, and after another 10 minutes, Arjun and Siri arrived at Siri's abode.
"Arjun, thank you for showing me the way," Siri said with a lovely smile and then entered inside.
After that Arjun went to his abode and slept. Early in the morning, after Arjun finished cultivating, he went to the three girls' abodes and took them to the grocery shopping, this time the girls insisted on paying for their groceries costing one spirit stone per person, but they were sufficient for a person to eat for a month, three meals a day, and with them eating only once or twice a day, they can easily last for two months and they will stay fresh because they are stored inside their Storage bags.
After that Arjun took them to the Library. Arjun learned a large amount of information about the cultivation world from here, and he also learned about many treasures.
After three hours, the three girls left him to go to their auxiliary cultivation classes. Arjun stayed for another hour and left. Today Arjun learned that cultivators cannot sit in one place and just cultivate for years and years but should also have control over Qi, which can be attained by practising secret skills or these auxiliary cultivation methods.
One should have control over one Qi because, while breaking through one will need to circulate the Qi through their body rapidly, and if one does not have control over the Qi in their dantian they may make mistakes in the circulation methods, causing failures in their breakthroughs.
After the classes, he went to his abode and after that, he practised the Qi ball technique for some time and then cultivated until the sunset. After that, he took a bath and then spent some time exploring the Heavenly Lotus Peak, and after two hours they all returned to their respective abodes.
Yesterday, after learning the value of the Spirit stones, Arjun planned to start a business and now he started to think of the business he can start within the sect.
