“Junior Brother Xu, is it time to go?”
Li Heng, clad in a brand new robe of law, knocked on the door and shouted loudly.
“Coming!”
Xu Mu opened the door, with a sheathed longsword on his back, and walked out of the courtyard.
“Junior brother, why didn’t you change into some better clothes?”
Seeing Xu Mu in the robe that he had worn for three years, which had already worn out quite a bit, Li Heng’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Old clothes are comfortable!”
Xu Mu laughed heartily and changed the subject, “Where are Sister Luo and Sister Shang?”
Xu Mu looked behind Li Heng, only to see the simple-minded Big Bull and Little Bull, and did not see the two women.
“They both left the peak yesterday and went to Tianhe City. A short while ago, they sent a message telling us to go to Qingyun Palace and meet up with them!” Li Heng explained.
“In that case, let’s get going! We don’t want to keep our senior sisters waiting!”
“But your clothes…”
Li Heng was still hung up on Xu Mu’s clothing situation.
“Third Brother, Fourth Brother, we’ll leave the peak to the two of you!”
Xu Mu cupped his hands towards Big Bull and Little Bull.
“Alright! Haha!”
The two chuckled foolishly, unclear whether they understood or not.
In fact, given their situations, they should have been driven out of the mountain gate long ago. However, due to the lack of people and resources on Lonely Sword Peak, the sect turned a blind eye and allowed the two to live here. “Senior brother, let’s go!”
With that, Xu Mu gave his storage bag a pat, and a small jade sword flew out, quickly expanding to about two meters, with a faint glow surrounding it.
Xu Mu leaped onto the sword body. Bathed in a white glow, he shot off towards the distant sea of clouds.
“Oh! Your clothes! You, you’re always like this!”
Li Heng complained, hurriedly releasing his flying sword and giving chase.
Big Bull and Little Bull waved their hands continuously, long after both figures had disappeared. They let down their arms reluctantly, heading back to the fields to carry on with their work.
Each gate of the Tianhe Sect is made up of floating islands and is located high in the sky. Influenced by a formation, this place is shrouded in white mist at all times.
Unless one has Divine Intent of the Golden Core Stage, it is easy to lose one’s way.
Neither of the two are at the Golden Core stage, naturally not daring to recklessly traverse the cloud mist, maintaining a position about three or four zhang from the ground. Sometimes, when they encounter buildings like pavilions, they have to detour around.
As for Lonely Sword Peak, apart from the Peak Master, whom Xu Mu has never met, only Shang YaoYao is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, neither Li Heng nor Luo Qingchen are.
In fact, several years ago, both Luo Qingchen and Li Heng were already qualified to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Unfortunately, neither had the qualifications to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills, nor did they have Spirit Stones to buy such pills.
Even though the Tianhe Sect is the most influential power within tens of thousands of miles, and they have the ability to refine countless Foundation Establishment Pills, there is still strict control within the sect.
To purchase an Inferior Foundation Building Pill, one needs both Spirit Stones and ten thousand Sect Contribution Points. Middle-grade Foundation Establishment Pills require two ten thousand points, high-grade require fifty thousand, and top-quality require a hundred thousand.
Both lacked Contribution Points and Spirit Stones, hence they could only delay indefinitely.
This sect-wide competition might be their only chance to acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill.
According to the sect rules, those ranked in the top one hundred can obtain a chance to purchase a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. The top fifty can obtain a chance to purchase a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. The top twenty can obtain a chance to purchase a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
The top ten can receive a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill for free.
With their abilities, making it into the top hundred is not a problem. Making it into the top fifty depends on their luck. As for the top twenty, that would require hitting the jackpot. To make it into the top ten, a miracle would be needed.
Speaking of rewards, this has a bit to do with Xu Mu.
Over the years, Chi Feiyan has been secretly selling Foundation Establishment Pills in the regions of the Tianhe Sect, causing the demand for Foundation Establishment Pills to significantly decrease. With no external demand, naturally, there would be surplus within the Tianhe Sect.
A reward that originally only the top fifty could obtain now can be obtained by even the top hundred, causing the ranking rewards to increase proportionately.
This is a good thing for Qi Cultivation disciples of the Tianhe Sect, but not a good thing for the Tianhe Sect, as they suffered significant losses from not being able to sell the Foundation Establishment Pills.
