Chapter 129: Profound Pavilion



Chapter 129: Profound Pavilion

“You want to come with me? Why?” Yuan stopped to look at her with a puzzled face.

“Why… you ask?” Min Li stood there with a somewhat dazed face, as she’d spoken without thinking just now.

However, this is also the first time someone has questioned her like this. If it were anybody else, they wouldn’t even think about asking her why she wanted to follow them and would just accept it with a delighted smile on their face.

“I had also planned on heading to the Profound Pavilion to see if they have any techniques I can learn. Since you’re going there now, I might as well tag along with you. Or do you not want me around you? Am I being a bother? If you’re worried that I might attract unwanted attention, I can follow you from a distance,” Min Li said to him a moment later.

“Well… It’s not that you’re being a bother… Whatever, you can do whatever you want,” Yuan quickly gave up on giving an explanation and allowed her to follow him.

“Thank you, Disciple Yuan.” Min Li showed him a beautifully bright smile.

Yuan didn’t react much despite her charming appearance and nodded his head with a calm expression before turning around and walking again.

Min Li was speechless once again, and she stared at Yuan’s back that was getting further away with a dazed look.

‘He seems uninterested in me… This is a first.’ Min Li thought to herself before she took her first step and began walking once Yuan was a dozen meters away from her.

“Look over there! Isn’t that Fairy Min from one of the Seven Legacy Families?!”

“You’re right! And she looks absolutely stunning! I wonder where she’s going?”

The disciples outside quickly took notice of Min Li’s presence and conversations about her and her family immediately began between the disciples.

Hell, there were even a few disciples who began following her like the group of Inner Court disciples from before.

“Congratulations on passing the disciple examination and becoming a disciple, Fairy Min!”

“Fairy Min, do you have some time now? If you do, why don’t we have a celebration?”

‘She’s really popular…’ Yuan thought to himself as he could hear the disciples trying to talk to Min Li very clearly.

However, a few moments later, Min Li suddenly stopped walking and turned around to look at the group of disciples following behind her, and she spoke with a calm but cold expression on her face, “I am busy right now, can you all leave me alone?”

The disciples following her immediately stopped walking and looked at her with a dumbfounded expression before showing an embarrassed or awkward look on their faces.

“Thank you.” Min Li did not even wait for their response and continued walking, subtly following Yuan from behind while keeping a safe distance so that people would only assume that they were coincidentally walking the same direction.

Meanwhile, Yuan followed the map inside his head that he’d memorized from the guidebook and slowly approached the Profound Pavilion.

Sometime later, Yuan arrived before a tall building that resembled the Myriad of Techniques in Spring City, but it was much more luxurious and grand compared to the ordinary-looking Myriad of Techniques.

After taking a moment to admire the building, Yuan walked inside.

Min Li followed him inside a moment later.

Once Yuan was inside the Profound Pavilion, he was immediately puzzled by the layout of the place. Unlike the Myriad of Pavilion, there were no techniques on display, and besides the reception and a staircase at the end of the building, there was nothing else there.

“You must be a new disciple.”

One of the sect elders behind the desk suddenly called out to Yuan after seeing his face that looked like he was lost.

“Yes, I am.” Yuan nodded before he approached the desk with a middle-aged man sitting behind it.

“What kind of techniques are you looking for, new disciple? Cultivation techniques? Martial techniques? Movement techniques?” The sect elder asked him a moment later.

“I’d like a technique that’s specifically designed for daggers,” Yuan said.

“So you’re a dagger user, huh? What’s your budget?” The sect elder then asked him.

“Budget? I have to pay for techniques here?” Yuan looked at the sect elder with a surprised look on his face as the guidebook never mentioned anything about needing to pay for the techniques!

“Of course you have to pay for the techniques. Did you think you’d get to learn techniques for free just because you are a disciple? This is why new disciples are…” The sect elder shook his head.

“Well… I have around 200,000 gold coins left…” Yuan said a moment later.

“Gold coins?” The sect elder looked at Yuan with raised eyebrows before laughing out loud.

“Hahaha! You’re a very amusing little guy, Outer Court disciple! When I say you have to pay for the techniques I didn’t mean gold! This is the Profound Pavilion, not a store, and we accept no other currency besides contribution points!” The sect elder explained to him a moment later.

“If we charged the disciples real money, how will those from a common background learn any techniques? This is a sect, where a disciple’s contribution and efforts take priority over everything else!”

“That makes sense…” Yuan nodded, and then he said, “If it’s contribution points, I have exactly one thousand. What can I get with that much?”

“Excuse me? What did you just say? Did you just say that you have 1,000 contribution points?” The sect elder looked at Yuan with a face of disbelief.

“Yes,” Yuan confirmed. “Or is that not enough for a technique?”

“Uhhh…” The sect elder was speechless.

One thousand contribution points was a massive amount for even an Inner Court disciple, much less an Outer Court disciple who’d just entered the sect! Hell, it would normally require ten years of collecting contribution points through sect missions for an ordinary disciple to save up that many contribution points! However, this Outer Court disciple who was clearly new to the sect had somehow managed to obtain 1,000 contribution points? That was outrageous!
