Chapter 219: Touring and Shopping (1/2)

After learning this new information, Sam went into a deep thought, before that he kept Sky away.

From what he could think of, the thunder god temple is full of experts far beyond his level, so it is hard to say if the formation will work on them.

After that he took away the formation and sat on the bed. He is thinking about what he could possibly expect tomorrow.

Since, they said that there is a final test, he will only have a chance of know why they are truly here, after the competition.

So, Sam laid back on his bed for a good night's rest, after all there are still some after effects from the space gate transportation.

The next day morning, the ten candidates gathered outside their dormitory. A person who is in his late forties came to them. He is a Grand realm expert.

He handed each of them a chest badge and said.

”These are the temporary identity tokens of the thunder god temple. So, please keep it safe.

As for me, I am an attendant of elder Moriya and I would be the one in charge of your arrangements for your stay here.

Today, I will take you to a tour around this area.

Right now, you are in the inner zone of the temple where the core disciples and inner disciples reside along with the elders, Great elders.”

He paused and pointed at the huge structure in the centre of the island and said.

”That is the thunder god temple, in which the Temple head and the Grand elders reside. Today, I will take you guys to the trading zone.

There, you can trade, barter or even buy any items available. There is another currency apart from the spirit stones and those are points.

The points which you have in your card are one of the currencies. One point equals ten spirit stones.

Even though, it isn't much, it is still hard to get them and there is another use for the points and that is the temple exchange area and the temple library.

The temple contains of a unique exchange area where there are very high-level weapons and treasures which are acquired and created by the temple's ancestors and predecessors as well as some of the rarest natural treasures like herbs and ores.

In that place, only points can be exchanged and the spirit stones doesn't work. So, the points are more valuable.

In the same way, the points can be used to exchange for battle skills, cultivation techniques and other knowledge in the temple library.

But, the bad news for you guys is that there is no way for you guys to access those two places as they are only for core disciples of the temple.

You are only our visitors, so you can only get access to the trade market. I will show you around, follow me.”

After that they walked for a few minutes before arriving at a bustling place. The place was packed with people. There are many shouts of vendors.

”Spirit replenishing pills, freshly produced.”

”Spirit recovering potion, freshly brewed.”

”Fangs of Silver wolf and leather of Golden cougar, high resistance against physical and metal attacks, a great material for armor.”

Many people who have badges strapped on their chests are selling, buying, trading. The place is as good as a city market. The attendant carefully explained everything in the market.

”Even though, it is all temple's property, it is still same as a city. We have a trading department and real estate department too.

People can buy places for houses, or even shops in the trading market. We have restaurants, brothels, battle arenas, weapon shops, pharmacy shops which might be either run by elders or disciples.

We even have the four professional towers in here and except for the core members who are sent here by their respective associations, the rest of the members are from the temple.

The citizens of the islands under the temples also come here to trade.

A part from that, there is a mining and ore department, where people can buy ores, sell ores and if anyone discovers a mine, they can make a deal with mining department.

There is a herbology department specialised in scavenging herbs from wilderness and also farming them…”

The attendant went on and on. He especially took his sweet time on the special departments and facilities of the thunder god temple and Sam could vaguely sense what is happening.

This guy is selling off the benefits in the thunder god temple, one can easily identify it if they read between the lines.

After a whole day of explaining, they finally stopped at a place which has a large stone pillar.

The stone pillar is not cylindrical rather it is a cuboid.

On one side, there are names of the ancestors of the temple engraved, on the other side there is something called the champion of decade list, the other side is called current ranking and the last one is the temple heads names.

The attendant explained all three sides before stopping at the current ranking.

On that side there are multiple lists.

”These are ranking lists of outer disciples, inner disciples, core disciples, elders and Great elders.

In all these categories, each category will be further divided into their cultivation levels and in each sub category the current top ten will be named here.

These names will be changed constantly…”
