Chapter 162: Spirit Perception (1/2)
”Did you bring it?”

Yao Yin nodded, so Xiao Fang opened the door a bit wider to let her in.
”Sorry I'm late,” she said before giving him a gift.
”What is this?” Xiao Fang asked while inspecting the twirling little stick in his hand.
”It's called spirit candy. It's pretty popular here in the inner court.”
Xiao Fang sniffed it, but it didn't give off a scent. It seemed harmless so he eventually gave it a try, but soon after he put it in his mouth he started to cringe. It was sour, but also very sweet.
As the candy slowly dissolved in his mouth he could feel the spirit qi begin to enter his dantian. As great as it was, Xiao Fang's cultivation was already in the Profound realm, so he would need many dozens of these to even make a single breakthrough.
”Not bad. It's really sweet and strangely addicting. How much was it?” He asked.
Even though she gave it to him as a gift, he didn't like owing favors.
”300 merit points.”
Xiao Fang nearly choked.
”This little thing...”
Every second it was in his mouth was 10 merit points was going to waste.
”Ah, but it can't be bought or sold to the sect. It could only be exchanged between disciples.”
”Did you really spend 300 merit points on this?”
”Don't worry, I got it for free from my guild.”
Xiao Fang only recently learned about the guild system in the inner court. They didn't have this sort of thing in the Divine Sword sect so he found it interesting.
”Where did your guild get it from?” He asked.
Yao Yin paused as she tried to think of a way to explain it simply.
”It's made by disciples in the foods and crafts club. Since becoming an apprentice there is extremely difficult, many guilds offer them high allowances to join and make cultivation treats exclusively for their guild members.”
”I see. This guild stuff sounds pretty interesting.”
...
As they talked, Yao Yin followed Xiao Fang to the garden room. On the way there they walked past the bed Yan Mei was sleeping on.
Yao Yin wasn't too surprised by this since she knew he was a dual cultivator.
”Can I see it?” Xiao Fang asked with his hand extended.
She knew what he was talking about so she gave him the dual cultivation scroll.
Looking down at the scroll he quickly read through the technique.

Yao Yin waited patiently for Xiao Fang to finish reading through the scroll. Eventually his brows became slightly knitted.
Before she could ask if there was anything wrong, he suddenly spoke.
”Take off your clothes.”
”What? Was there something wrong with the scroll?” She asked.
”You want to become a dual cultivator, right?”
Catching the meaning behind his words she quickly did as he said.
