“You’re going out?”

“Ah, yes...” Zuo Shuming looked like he was totally still stunned. “When did Brother Lonemoon enter Foundation Establishment?” He was still at level six of Qi Refinement yesterday!

“Oh, just last night!”

“Just last night?” So fast!

“Yeah, is there a problem?”

Zuo Shuming who initially thought that he himself was already real fast became listless. “N... No.” He was suddenly starting to wonder if he had any misunderstandings with regards to cultivation? For example, in the aspect of speed.

“Where are you heading to? Lonemoon asked directly.

Zuo Shuming then gathered himself up and replied, “I was about to get Brother Lonemoon to report to the main peak together!”

“No hurry!” Lonemoon said in a low voice. “Follow me to the Outer Affairs Hall first.”

“Outer Affairs Hall?” He faltered. “Yesterday Senior Brother He told me that we just have to report to the main peak, no need to inform them at the Outer Affairs Hall.”

“Who said I was going there to inform them?” Lonemoon shot him a look from the corner of his eyes.

“Then...”

“Of course it’s to go collect money?” Lonemoon answered boldly like it was natural and right. “Didn’t Sect Master say yesterday that we would be paid according to the market price for those spirit herbs? If we don’t know, what if they give us less after this matter passes?” It was still the safest to keep spirit stones in his own pocket, after all, he was someone who had children to feed.

“...”

“Stop dazing, come quickly!” Those spirit stones could only be collected with both of them present. “By the way, remember you still owe me a spirit stone? On the account that you’re my friend, I’ll take 10% from the division of those spirit stones as interest, you 40% and me 60% will do!”

“...” Do people calculate it this way?

Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming collected a total of eleven thousand two hundred and twenty two pieces of superior-grade spirit stones in total. Don’t mention to a Foundation Establishment disciple, even to a Nascent Soul cultivator, this was quite a sum of money. Zuo Shuming felt his hands trembling slightly but Lonemoon looked at the bag in disdain, a line of words evidently printed on his face: Just this bit? Waste of my time!

Then he pulled out an abacus from somewhere and started to do the accounts. For some reason, he had listened very seriously but got more confused as he listened on. At the end, he unknowingly only received one thousand two hundred and twenty-two spirit stones.

“Brother Zuo, your memory is not good, these one thousand two hundred and twenty-two spirit stones are not safe with him. Tell you what, I’ll make some losses to keep them for you. I’ll just charge you one spirit stone per day, will that do?”

His mind was still ringing with the clattering sounds of the abacus and subconsciously handed them over. “Ah... sure, thank you!”

“You’re welcome, we’re friends. Take these two pieces of spirit stones, keep them as spare change!”

Hence he was left with two pieces of spirit stones in his hand.

“By the way! You paid the interest for the spirit stones, how about the capital sum of one spirit stone?”

“Oh, here!”

Hence he was left with a piece of spirit stone in his hand.

Shen Ying: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

“By the way, where were you getting me to go to earlier on?” Lonemoon asked.

Zuo Shuming then snapped to his senses. “To report to the Disciple Hall at the Main peak.”

“Oh, let’s go then!”

“Alright.” He then stood up and walked out of the yard quickly, his steps light and his expression an excited one, as if he encountered an immense blessing.

Lonemoon’s brows tightened as he turned and asked the invisible master and disciple pair for once, “Was I a little too much in butchering this time?”

The master and disciple: “...” A despising look for you, figure it out by yourself!

“Was I that overboard?” Lonemoon lifted a brow, then pulled out the bag of spirit stones from earlier. “Then I’ll make it up to him with your food allowance for the next two months!”

Both of them were shocked and four paws instantly held his hand down.

“Not too much, not at all!”

“The accounts were clear, unquestionable!”

“Father Niu deals honestly, his conscience is wonderfully good!”

“Father Niu is upright in business deals, money just rolls in!”

“Brother Lonemoon?” Seeing that he had not followed even after a long time, Zuo Shuming could not help but turned back and called out.

Lonemoon glanced at the other two before putting the bag of spirit stones away. “Coming!”

Good thing you two are sensible!

——————

Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming successfully joined the main peak and successful became official disciples of Gui Yi Sect. Compared to outer sect disciples, the treatment of official disciples was evidently much better. Though they could not compare to those personal disciples or recognized disciples of those Elders, the conditions were not bad, at least each of them had their own courtyard. The surrounding Spirit Qi was also obviously much richer.

The main peak, also known as Dan Lin Mountain, was headed by the Sect Master, Yu Luan. Gui Yi Sect was divided into six mountains, Dan Lin, Dan Xia, Dan Chen, Dan Zhen, Dan Sheng, Dan Gu. From the names, one could tell that this was a sect with core cultivators all around.

They did not realize previously in the outer sect, but the main peak had the scent of various elixirs wafting everywhere. And there were Golden Core cultivators speaking about the Dao everyday at each mountain and Nascent Soul giving monthly lessons, all disciples of the six mountains could attend them. However, most of the content were about the techniques of pill refinement or mental cultivation methods of core cultivators. The sect did have cultivators of other specializations, but their level of cultivation weren’t high, amongst the dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, only three were not core cultivators.

And at the main peak, there was a library, storing all sorts of technique books and ancient records of spells, disciples of the six mountains could borrow books from there.

Zuo Shuming was very excited, disciples like them who’d never officially acknowledged a master naturally didn’t have anyone to guide them, so on his first day at the main peak, he went to library. He wanted to pick several books suitable for his own skillset and spells. However, he searched in all seriousness for an entire day and ended up returning dejectedly, not a single book brought back with him.

“Brother Lonemoon...”

“What’s wrong?” Lonemoon glanced at him and frowned in disdain. “Why do you look like you’ve gone bankrupt? Didn’t you go to the library.”

“I did, but... I didn’t find any suitable technique books. For some reason, the more he searched, the more he found that those spells, seemed... less profound than those that Brother Lonemoon had taught to him. Just a closer look at most told him that they were far less powerful from those that Lonemoon had just casually taught to him verbally in the past.

Lonemoon leisurely took a sip of tea before glancing at him. “It’s normal, in sects, for the sake of lineage, the higher level technique books are naturally kept by the higher level cultivators and not easily given to anyone.” You’re not their disciple. “Moreover, the entire Gui Yi Sect was full of core cultivators, the higher level techniques of core cultivators becomes more precious.”

“But... I do not wish to become a core cultivator.” Zuo Shuming frowned and said.

“Don’t wish to become a core cultivator?” Lonemoon glanced at him, if you don’t want to be a core cultivator, what are you doing at Gui Yi Sect? “Then what do you want to specialize in?”

Zuo Shuming thought carefully, subconsciously feeling his empty storage bag before speaking up hesitantly. “Pills, talismans, arrays and weapons are relatively more...” A sudden thought struck him and his eyes lit up instantly. “Oh yes, I can practice the sword, I want to be a sword cultivator!”

Pui...

Lonemoon’s mouthful of tea splattered out. He stood up at once with a hand slamming onto the table and hollered.

“Repeat yourself!” Was he hearing things?

(???????)

“...”
