Chapter 58: Returning to Sect

After entering Immortal Sword Sect, Yun Shang went to the Council Hall to register her information, took out her Identity card and handed it to the disciple in the Council Hall.

The disciple looked at her Identity card and hurriedly greeted her respectfully, "Disciple greets little uncle master. Have you finished your training? You must have gained a lot from this outing." The disciple said with a smile.

"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Yun Shang looked around.

There are many spiritual materials and treasures in the hall. Sect disciples can contribute treasures here and exchange them for contribution points, or they can use contribution points to buy treasures.

"I comes here to exchange contribution points." Yun Shang express her intention.

Upon hearing this, the Jindan-stage real person who was in charge of exchanging contribution points immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Senior Sister."

Yun Shang waved her hand: "How do you redeem contribution points here?"

"Brother, this is the method for exchanging points this month. Please take a look." The Jindan stage real person took out the jade slip very politely.

When the disciples around saw this scene, they all looked sideways, and many of them looked at Yun Shang curiously.

There are more than 30 peaks in the Immortal Sword Sect, but there are only a few true disciples. A true disciple will appear every hundred years. Yun Shang rarely come out, the only one other disciple see her is when in competition, after that there's commotion that she was advanced from qi training straight to middle stage of Foundation Building. Many people that were just listening to story, watching who Yun Shang was.

Yun Shang picked up the jade slip and began to examine it.

The jade slip contains the contribution points used by Immortal Sword Sect to acquire many treasures.

These contribution points will change according to the different treasures, so they are updated once a month.

Yun Shang took a quick look and after she had an idea in mind, she waved her hand and threw out three storage bags.

This is all the pills she made all these years. If not for afraid of trouble she wants to exchange all of her resources from her space to exchange to contribution points. But as she didn't know how to explain dozens of spiritual fruits and herbs, and spiritual wines she made from it, she can only cooperated with others to sell it.

"Sorry for the trouble, Junior Brother."

Yun Shang said politely.

"No trouble, no trouble." The Jindan Stage True Man said with a smile, opened the storage bag and began to organize it. However, as he started to organize it, the Jindan Stage True Man's face changed, and then as he continued to check the remaining storage bags, his face became much more serious.

After a long time of checking, the Jindan Stage True Man counted on his fingers before speaking:

"Sister Yun, there are a total of 745 bottles of elixirs in these three storage bags, all of which are mid-grade elixirs, including 120 bottles of first-grade elixirs, 250 bottles of second-grade elixirs, 280 bottles of third-grade elixirs, and 105 bottles of fourth-grade elixirs."

Yun Shang nodded.

This number is correct.

The Jindan stage immortal was a little panicked because there were too many pills.

"Because there are quite a lot of pills, a first-level mid-grade pill is about three to four contribution points, a second-level mid-grade pill is nine to ten contribution points, a three-level mid-grade pill is thirty to thirty-five contribution points, and a fourth-level mid-grade pill is one hundred to one hundred and fifty contribution points."

"If you calculate it all, the total is 249,800 contribution points. How about 250,000 contribution points?"

Two hundred and fifty thousand contribution points?

The disciples who were watching Yun Shang quietly were all dumbfounded.

When she heard the contribution points, she nodded.

If the contribution points of the Immortal Sword Sect are converted, one point is about forty low-grade spirit stones. However, due to the differences in spiritual materials and mineral veins near each fairy city, the price fluctuates slightly.

But generally speaking, the difference is not that big.

These 250,000 contribution points are equivalent to more than 10 million low-grade spirit stones.

More than 10 million low-grade spirit stones, or more than 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones. This value is really terrifying. Many Jindan stage real people are not worth so much.

Yun Shang started refining pills in the space, the time difference inside is not a joke at all, even if she went to set up stall she can't sell that much. Then she also lazy to sell it little anytime, so she had saved up too many mid-grade pills.

Seeing contribution points exchange, she then remembered because she never truly needs something from the sect, she never had contribution points.

Yun Shang has too much of spirit stones, so she decided to exchange all of her pills except high-grade and top-grade.

Now that she already going outside, she still doesn't know much about the information. She just looks at mortal world. Then she can use the contribution points to read books in library to fill information and common sense she lacked.

After finishing all of this, she doesn't care how others thinks, she quickly left after getting her Identity card back.

"That's the young grandmaster. I heard that she went out to gain experience," said a disciple.

"Yes, the identity card cannot be faked. The little master is very beautiful and powerful that she was top one in Qi Training Competition."

"I heard that she was breakthrough immediately to middle stage of foundation building from great perfection of qi training."

"Yes yes. At that time many elders were alarmed. She become famous to all sects."

It's not like she want to eavesdrop, but her spiritual consciousness was too strong. She's really not used to become center of topics.

Yun Shang returned to Yunhai Peak. She was eager to see her master and to improve her cultivation.

"Master, disciple is back." Yun Shang came to Qingmu Taoist's cave. At this time, Qingmu Taoist was making tea. The fragrance of tea filled the air, making people want to take a sip.

"Well, your aura is restrained. I think you have gained something in the past two years." Taoist Qingmu handed Yun Shang a cup of tea. 

"Thank you, Master," Yun Shang took the tea and said, "This time when I was out I felt that my cultivation was too low. For the sake of my life, I'd better work harder practicing."

"It's good that you can recognize your own shortcomings. Is there anything you don't understand while you're away?"

"Master, I can refine the fourth-grade pill, but I am not sure about refining the fifth-grade pill now, because the spiritual medicine required for the fifth-grade pill is relatively precious, so I haven't tried it yet."

This time, Qingmu Daojun was surprised. Yun Shang had only entered the foundation-building period not long ago, and she could actually refine the fourth-grade pill. You know, it is relatively easy for a cultivator to become a third-grade pill master as long as there are enough resources, but to refine the fourth-grade pill, in addition to the cultivation factor, it also requires a strong spiritual consciousness and control of the medicinal properties of spiritual medicines. The spiritual consciousness of the cultivator can be released after the foundation is established. It seems that his disciple's spiritual consciousness is very strong.

"Show me the pill you made," said Qingmu Daojun

Yun Shang handed Qingmu Daojun the Yishen Pill and Shenggu Pill she had refined.

"The pills are full and the fragrance is restrained. Not bad. The quality is very good. It has entered the upper grade. You have just started to refine the fourth grade pill. This result is already very good." Qingmu Daojun said with great satisfaction after looking at the pills.

In the next few days, Yun Shang wandered around Yunhai Peak and familiarized herself with various spiritual medicines. When refining the fourth-grade pill, Yun Shang found that the higher the quality of the pill, the more she needed to understand the medicinal properties and effects of the spiritual medicine required for refining.

After that, Yun Shang began her retreat after her experience. After building her foundation, she felt that she had the ability to protect herself, so she was busy going out to take a look. After going out, she found that there were dangers everywhere in the world of cultivation, from monsters and from human cultivators. Her cultivation was still at the bottom, which made her feel that she did not good enough.

As usual, Yun Shang entered the space and started her own time on practicing "Attributeless Swordsmanship" and she also start to learn "Water Spell", "Wood Spell", "Earth Spell", and "Gold Spell", you'd really don't know where the kind of spell will be useful in the future.

When Yun Shang tired, she will use "Chaos Art" constantly running spiritual energy, compressing it, guiding it to flow through her body, and slowly increasing her cultivation.

The futon she got from the cave under the Dead Lake in Linglong Secret Realm was really useful. Sitting on it to practice, Yun Shang felt that her practice became smoother. When she used the Soul Technique, her consciousness and soul power could be improved to a certain extent, unlike before when the growth of consciousness and soul power could only rely on the growth of cultivation. It seems that this futon is also a treasure.

Such dedicated practice has significant effects. In three years, Yun Shang has advanced from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building. The speed of practice is very fast.

Now, Yun Shang was seventeen years old with cultivation late stage of foundation building, just cultivator with mutation spiritual roots can compare her speed.

She can't wait until her cultivation level improves before she go into battle like before.

Although Yun Shang hasn't encountered any bottlenecks in her cultivation, she should also pay attention to improving her state of mind, otherwise it will be detrimental to her future cultivation. Yun Shang thought that she should go to the sect's mission hall to take on some missions.

The tasks that the sect issued to the Qi-cultivating and foundation-building cultivators were generally not too difficult and could basically be completed in the vicinity of the sect.

"Master, I would like to take on some missions assigned by the sect." Yun Shang had no choice but to look for the master.

"You did a good job. In addition to cultivation, cultivators must also pay attention to improving their state of mind and experience. Otherwise, their cultivation will be in vain." Qingmu Daojun said.

The next day, Yun Shang come to was standing in the hall of Immortal Sword Sect's inner sect mission hall for choosing missions.

When she arrived at the mission hall, she looked at the missions issued by the sect and chose two that she could accept.

One was to hunt the fifth-level monster wind bird and collect their claws. Wind bird claws are a kind of refining material; the other was to collect heart-eating grass, a mid-level spiritual plant, one of the main ingredients for refining body-tempering pills. Her cultivation has just risen to the late stage of foundation building, so she should choose some less difficult tasks first and make plans for the others later.

She handed her Identity card to the disciple in the Mission Hall and told him the mission she had chosen. Then she left under the admiration glance from her fellow disciple on the way.

Before she was doing her task, she left to Liu Family first to take her persentage of profit, looking at the abundant low-grade spiritual stones, as she asked low-grade ones, then she put all of it to spiritual spring in the space.

Yun Shang was extremely satisfied with Liu Yuan's efficiency, if he is in modern society he'll definitely become billionaire. When she was satisfied, she add one more top-grade foundation building pill.

Then she gave her products she made in this five years, she decided to let Liu Family continue sell her products.

...

The Misty Forest is next to Immortal Sword Sect, and disciples of Immortal Sword Sect can be seen everywhere training here. The Wind Bird and Heart-Eating Grass in the two tasks Yun Shang accepted this time can be found here. If she is lucky, she can complete the task in a few days.

The Misty Forest is covered with fog all year round. From the outside, it looks like it is in the clouds. The light in the forest is weak and it is basically impossible to fly. There are various monsters living in it. It is said that the highest level of monsters here should be around the seventh level, which is equivalent to the early stage of the golden elixir of human cultivators. So as long as you are careful, there is no big danger.

You have to be very careful when walking in the forest. Although there are no high-level monsters, you still have to beware of sudden attacks from other monsters. The monks must always be vigilant in the forest.

Visibility in the forest is not high, and there are many hidden threats. Therefore, most of the Immortal Sword Sect disciples usually come here to practice together. It seems a bit abrupt for Yun Shang to come alone. Therefore, almost all the monks she met during the period would secretly look at her. There were also a few groups of monks who invited her to join them. Because it was her first time in the Misty Forest, Yun Shang wanted to have a good walk, and it was very inconvenient to be with so many people, so she rejected them.

 Wind birds are wind-type monsters with extremely fast speeds. In the Misty Forest, there are almost no monsters that are faster than them. These wind birds grow in the Misty Forest and are generally not affected by the fog, so cultivators often suffer losses, and many cultivators are killed by them. I thought that hunting a fifth-level monster should be no problem, but now it seems that the task is not easy. I can only find a lone wind bird to attack.

Yun Shang didn't find it difficult to fight a single wind bird. After all, wind birds are usually at level fifth, which is equivalent to the middle stage of a cultivator's foundation building, so the battle ended relatively quickly. After completing the task of collecting wind bird claws, Yun Shang began to look for the Heart-Eating Grass.

Heart-eating grass, this kind of spiritual plant is relatively common, but the demand is great. After taking elixirs, cultivators will generally leave elixir poison in their bodies. When the elixir poison accumulates to a certain amount, it will affect their cultivation. Therefore, cultivators often take body-tempering pills to temper their bodies, so as to eliminate the elixir poison and impurities in the body. The main spiritual plant for refining body-tempering pills is heart-eating grass.

This kind of herb is quite useful. Yun Shang usually puts some Heart-Eating Grass into the spiritual fruit wine she brews. Of course, the older the Heart-Eating Grass is, the better the effect of the Body-Tempering Pill made from it will be.

According to the information Yun Shang had collected before, the Heart-Eating Grass mainly grew in the inner area of ​​the Misty Forest, and almost all of the grass in the outer area had been picked. Be careful when picking the Heart-Eating Grass, because the deeper you go, the thicker the fog becomes. It is said that there are some illusion arrays in the inner area of ​​the Misty Forest, and if a cultivator is trapped in it, he basically cannot get out.

Yun Shang released the spiritual awareness equivalent to that of an early Jindan cultivator and carefully advanced towards the inner circle. During this time, Yun Shang did not hunt other monsters for fear of alarming the monsters of level six or seven inside. She first collected the Heart-Eating Grass to complete the task, and then found some more monsters to practice on the way back.
