Chapter 1207B – Contribution Points

Chapter 1207B – Contribution Points

Qin Yu laughed out loud. This girl was too easy to tease. But later on, she would not be able to escape this title of senior-apprentice sister.

After all, there were still rules in this Peach Blossom Spring Holy Land.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu’s smile stiffened. He rubbed his nose. In the past, he never imagined that there would be a day where he would have to call Lei Xiaoyu senior-apprentice sister.

Tsk tsk, just thinking about this made him feel a bit awkward.

But he soon discarded his awkwardness. Since this was the reality of the situation, thinking about it was meaningless.

He closed his eyes and started to recall everything that she told him. She had said many times before that Peach Blossom Spring was different from the outside, and that it was easy to get along with their fellow senior-apprentice brothers and sisters.

The things he experienced today made Qin Yu feel relaxed and different. But that didn’t mean he truly believed it.

In this world, what a person saw with their own eyes might not even be true, much less the narration of others.

Although Qin Yu believed that Lei Xiaoyu wouldn’t deceive him, this girl was too pure and na?ve to begin with, and what she saw might not be the truth.

In short, Qin Yu still needed to verify and judge the people of Peach Blossom Spring for himself.

He thought things over, drawing a vague outline of everyone in Peach Blossom Spring and putting a few tentative labels on them. The rest would need to be filled out with future contact, and these labels could be deleted or replaced.

Shua –

Qin Yu opened his eyes and stepped forward, walking into the room. Without much effort, he found the little booklet that Lei Xiaoyu spoke about. It explained how to earn contributions.

The contents were detailed. He turned the pages and saw the dense lines of characters that covered them, stacking up into a relatively thick booklet. Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised. He was originally afraid that he wouldn’t be able to understand things well enough, but now he was thinking that the booklet was too tedious.

He sat down and carefully sifted through the booklet from beginning to end. After finishing the last page, he let out a deep breath.

As the Spring Master said, there were many ways to earn contributions. Just in this little booklet there were several hundred methods.

For instance, the cleaning that was mentioned before.

A peach garden had peach trees – this wasn’t idle talk but the truth. Not only were there peach trees but there was a shocking number of them. They were covered in the aura of a True Saint and bloomed all year round. This caused layers of peach blossoms to cover the ground.

These things had absorbed a trace of a Saint’s aura. Although it was incomparably weak, it wasn’t something that common cultivators could process.

Peach Blossom Spring disciples obtained a peach blossom mark and received the approval of the peach garden. So the cleaning up of the fallen peach blossoms was mostly done by them.

Of course, this wasn’t a good job. It took a long time and the contribution value was too low. Basically, no one wanted to do it so everyone drew lots and tested their luck.

In comparison, tasks of finding precious materials, hunting down powerful monster beasts, helping master refine things, and even cultivating new peach trees gave many more contribution points.

Then where should he begin to earn contribution points from? Qin Yu fell into deep contemplation.

….

Old Turtle didn’t allow Qin Yu to feel confused for much longer.

According to what he said –

Master please don’t be annoyed, but because I hadn’t determined what sort of person you were, I still had reservations and thus held some things back.

On the Endless Sea, in order to obtain a spirit body for me, master suffered risk and you almost lost your life. I was moved beyond words.

You are such a wonderful master. I must grasp your thigh and will never let go. I will tell you everything I know so that master can freely advance in your cultivation!

Blah blah blah, simply put it was all sorts of flattery as well as remorse for his previous actions.

If it weren’t for the fact that Qin Yu had begun to feel impatient, then with Old Turtle’s current momentum, he might have been able to continue speaking for three days and three nights!

“Shut up and just tell me what it is!”

Then, Old Turtle spoke about the opposition of light and darkness, the relationship between the evolution of the world’s source and the rules of the heavens and earth, and all sorts of high-end topics.

Qin Yu’s eyes started to shine.

At this moment, he began to realize why the little blue lamp considered Old Turtle to be so important. In the abyss world, when the little blue lamp learned that Qin Yu was going to rush through the Cold Sea and that this was an almost suicidal mission, it had still tacitly allowed him to continue.

The reason was to smoothly bring Old Turtle back to the vast brightness world. Perhaps it had already known about Old Turtle’s true value.

As for what the source of the world was or whatever, that was too far away so he wouldn’t talk about it for the time being. But, the integration of light and darkness in his body was the big problem that he was facing right now.

Although he controlled light and darkness and had comprehended the transformation of light and darkness into one body, just comprehending it didn’t mean he could fully grasp that power it contained.

If he wanted to fully wield the power of light and darkness by himself, then disregarding whether or not he could achieve that, even if he could, it would inevitably cost an enormous amount of time.

But if he had Old Turtle’s assistance, then that was an entirely different situation.

Anyone could spout out hollow words, and Qin Yu believed at most two or three points of it. Of course, unless Old Turtle was tired of living, he would never joke about such things. But even so, because this was so important, he could only verify it by confirming it himself.

In fact, Old Turtle really wasn’t lying. He knew a great, great deal, and Qin Yu’s cultivation speed drastically increased.

Contribution points were important, but in Qin Yu’s eyes, they weren’t as important as Old Turtle’s guidance. If he underwent a period of intense cultivation, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Qin Yu could fully control the body of light and darkness, he would be able to easily crush anyone else at the God boundary.

And this God boundary included Origin Gods…according to Old Turtle, the God boundary was the God boundary. Where did so many tiers and divisions come from?

If a person couldn’t see the sea they were nothing but trash. If they saw the sea but couldn’t enter, they were even more useless trash.

Only by stepping into the sea and starting a journey to cross the sea, initiating an impact to reach the unknown shore, could someone be considered a genuine top character of the world.

Of course, this was just barely considered a top character.

This tone was considerably loud and filled with bravado, enough to suffocate tens of thousands of people. But Qin Yu didn’t care how much Old Turtle was bragging right now.

He was like a dried up sponge, thirstily sucking in all sorts of guidance from Old Turtle. Every time he solved a question and understood something, Qin Yu had a hearty feeling of being enlightened, as if he was finally seeing the sun peeking through the clouds.

Just after entering Peach Blossom Spring, Qin Yu plunged himself into the sea of cultivation, reluctant to come out.

In this situation, the various methods of earning contribution points seemed too troublesome.

He was annoyed that he didn’t even have enough time to cultivate, so how could he distract himself with thinking about other things? Qin Yu began to have a headache between the gaps in his cultivating, because even just living in Peach Blossom Spring required one to consume contribution points.

That was right!

Just this rule alone fully explained why there were no idlers at Peach Blossom Spring.

The booklet contained detailed explanations. Peach Blossom Spring was where the Spring Master paved his path, and this place was protected by the Great Dao of a Saint. This place in itself was an immortal paradise. Even if common cultivators cried and smashed their heads begging, they could give up the thought of taking a single breath of the air here.

Peach Blossom Spring disciples lived here every day so they needed to pay a certain price. Luckily, not many contribution points were required. Qin Yu recalled the booklet and discovered that the task of cleaning up the peach blossoms would earn him enough contribution points and he was immediately overjoyed.

Cleaning up peach blossoms was fine. He wouldn’t need to put in any effort at all. In fact, as he cleaned he could also cultivate the power of light and darkness. While this would affect him a little, it was without a doubt the best option right now.

The only problem was that when it came to the task of cleaning up the peach garden, the various disciples drew lots to decide who would do it.

In other words, if Qin Yu wanted to calmly and steadily cultivate, he needed to find a way to change this custom and take over the task of cleaning the peach blossoms by himself.

He would just do it!
