CHAPTER 130: 0100 SPENDING MONEY AND CUSTOMIZING TRIBULATION THUNDER? (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

Xu Chang’an quickly realized that the most expensive spending was on medicinal baths... In just a few sets of spirit grass, his Contribution Points were cut in half, leaving him with only four thousand.

The key point is, these spirit grasses aren’t even the best, no wonder Wen Li advised him to spend wisely.

The feeling of spending money is wonderful, especially for Xu Chang’an, who usually only buys cheap Demon-Exorcising Talismans.

How to put it?

These Contribution Points were all earned by him one by one, used to prepare heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Miss Yun’s cultivation, which in itself is the most gratifying thing.

Even though Celestial Dao Points are countless, spending them doesn’t feel as satisfying and painful as spending now does.

"It’s about time to stop," Xu Chang’an thought to himself.

The medicinal bath doesn’t have a limit, and he hadn’t yet bought the most crucial spiritual liquid and spiritual water.

After buying so much spirit grass, how could he use ordinary mountain spring water for Miss Yun’s bath, so the quality of the spiritual liquid is very important; choosing low-quality spiritual liquid would indeed waste all the spirit grasses he purchased.

"Contribution Points really aren’t enough..." Xu Chang’an sighed, thinking it’s fortunate these were bought with Contribution Points, for with Spirit Stones, he would be completely broke.

He slightly checked the prices of the things he planned to buy again.

"Qi Replenishing Pill?" Xu Chang’an was taken aback, thinking that Steward Qin had given him ten pills, and Xiaohua used one, leaving quite a few.

He thanked Junior Master Qin, who helped him save a sum of money.

Then there was Xiaohua... He would have to speak to it properly when he returned, wasting a Qi Replenishing Pill just moments after open sourcing.

With a light sigh, Xu Chang’an left the White Jade Platform and walked towards the central area of the main hall.

Although the sky was still early, Muyu Peak was unexpectedly quiet, with only the post-rain silence.

Though his heart ached, the thought of these items helping his frail lady to enter the Immortal Sect made him uncontrollably happy.

"System, I really have to thank you," Xu Chang’an said softly, "Without you, I couldn’t save up these Contribution Points, so... the spirit grasses and elixirs for the lady also owe you a part."

"..."

"...? System? What’s wrong with you?"

Xu Chang’an was somewhat surprised, because not only did the system not respond, it started generating Celestial Dao Points.

What danger could there be now?

"You definitely have an issue," Xu Chang’an thought, wondering if being near Miss Yun was strange. Could it be that now... just hearing her name causes a rise in Celestial Dao Points?

Xu Chang’an suddenly paused, slowing his steps, as if casually asking, "System, do you know some of her secrets?"

"..."

As Xu Chang’an expected, the system didn’t say a word.

Prepared, he wasn’t disappointed.

Xu Chang’an speculated that behind Yun Qian, there might be some secretive force, like an aristocratic family she might have mentioned? Then someone protecting her naturally disapproves of him as a "worthless son-in-law."

Hence, there would be danger when near Miss Yun.

But there were also things that didn’t add up; first, Yun Qian herself was too weak.

Then, there was the system’s problem; the points it provided were too outrageous.

"You’re both tight-lipped... one more than the other," Xu Chang’an shook his head, caring too much only led to endless speculation.

Focus on the tasks at hand.

Xu Chang’an lifted his leg and walked forward; he had already bought the herbs available to ordinary permission, next intending to purchase the good stuff he could buy using his identity in the inner halls of Muyu Peak.

Those were true inner hall benefits.

The prices were cheaper outside and better quality.

But guess... they would require quite a lot of Contribution Points.

With the comparison of the system’s cheap Celestial Dao Points, Xu Chang’an understood the importance of Sect Contribution Points, so he couldn’t always indulge in Miss Yun’s gentle beauty; he needed ways to earn Contribution Points, earn Spirit Stones to support Miss Yun.

Giving her the best, this was his greatest motivation for cultivation.

"Turns out I’m her pioneer," Xu Chang’an smirked, listening to the system gradually quiet down, thinking the Celestial Dao Points given by the system were not bad, such as the Jade Splendor Primordial Qi, which improved his talent several times over, not inferior to medicinal baths by any hundreds of times?

But the system’s things can’t be used by Yun Qian, so its importance suddenly dropped several levels, inevitably causing disappointment.

——

A breeze brushed his face, the majestic grandeur of Muyu Peak’s main hall revealed its magnificence.

Xu Chang’an gazed at the eaves shedding rainwater, thinking if he hadn’t been on Muyu Peak, he might have had the chance to live in a White Jade mansion, leaving behind his little wooden cabin.

But truth be told, if he hadn’t come to Muyu Peak, with his abilities, he wouldn’t qualify for the position of Outer Sect Steward, without which he wouldn’t have the permission to use Sect Contribution Points to exchange for items Yun Qian needed.

Xu Chang’an walked on the green stone path in the inner hall courtyard, finding it odd that there was no one in the hall today.

Although it wasn’t "working hours," it wasn’t so desolate as to have no one.

At this moment, a young lady walked towards Xu Chang’an, and upon realizing it was someone he knew, he paused and asked, "Senior Lu? Where is everyone in the hall?"

"Everyone? Didn’t you receive the Jade Scroll?"

Senior Lu paused, then said, "Oh, today it’s the little girl working, she’s shy; she probably felt uncomfortable visiting the men’s residences alone. Well, luckily you met me early."

Senior Lu saw Xu Chang’an’s confused expression and said, "Didn’t something big happen this morning? The Timekeeper from the peak is busy, leaving only a few people in the East Wing, and we Outer Sect Stewards have three days off."

"Really?" Xu Chang’an said, lightly sighing.

"What’s wrong? A day off isn’t good?" Senior Lu looked at him.

"It’s good..." Xu Chang’an sighed, thinking he indeed lacked time, but Contribution Points were even more scarce; resting meant a three-day reduction in end-of-month salary, and roughly, Miss Yun would miss a meal.

"I understand, you need money, right?" Senior Lu looked at Xu Chang’an, eyes narrowing as she, with eyes rolling, said, "Junior Brother, some sisters are organizing a gathering during these days off. Do you want to come... though many people won’t make it noisy, if you’re willing to attend, we can contribute some Spirit Stones."

"Is it for cultivation?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"No," Senior Lu replied honestly.

Knowing "borrowing" Xu Chang’an for cultivation would have to be recorded, and a group of sisters were watching.

"Senior Lu, don’t joke with me," Xu Chang’an thought, realizing it looked similar to the work he usually took, yet in essence, the nature was completely different from a gathering.

"I guessed it." Senior Lu shook her head.

A dedicated man is always lovable.

Not yielding to temptations is seen as a merit by these ladies; it’s better said, if Xu Chang’an was easily swayed, he wouldn’t be so popular.

It’s really ironic.

She waved her hand, saying, "Alright, your beloved wife’s Miss Yun not on the mountain? Take these days off to spend more time with her."

"..." Xu Chang’an’s tone halted.

No one asked, but everyone knew about Miss Yun.

Since they were close colleagues, Xu Chang’an silently accepted before curiously asking, "Senior Lu, you mentioned something big happened this morning? What was it?"

"?" Senior Lu paused.

This morning’s sudden Thunder Tribulation locked everyone’s cultivation, including disciples like them, and everyone gathered discussing it; naturally, it was a big deal.

"Didn’t you see the Celestial Tribulation?" Senior Lu asked, "That frightening Tribulation Thunder, unknown who was transcending, but likely... it must be the Sect Leader."

"Tribulation Thunder?" Xu Chang’an nodded, "So that’s it, I saw it."

He thought the Tribulation Thunder in the Cultivation Realm wasn’t all that rare.

Though... Senior Lu said the Tribulation Thunder was terrifying?

He didn’t even feel anything.

"But it was just a white pillar of light, could it be the Sect Leader?"

Xu Chang’an blinked, knowing the Sect Leader from Chaoyun Sect was above everyone, so he couldn’t help but think that Thunder Tribulation wasn’t worthy enough.

It ought to be something like the Ninefold Celestial Tribulation, Eighty-One Thunder Tribulations, the Golden Snake Dance, Heaven and Earth Destruction scenes deserving the near-immortal Sect Leader of Chaoyun Sect.

——

At this time, in the empty East Wing Hall of Muyu Peak, a veiled woman holding a Spiritual Spring Bottle’s hand suddenly trembled, an ominous feeling surged through her.

——

"But... just?" Senior Lu stared blankly at Xu Chang’an.

What was he talking about?
