Xu Yang nodded. "I really should thank Steward Xiao. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have earned so many contribution points this ti."
Xiao Chen said, "Uncle Lin and my father are good friends. It’s only natural to look after you."
A shadow passed over his eyes. Neither he nor his father had expected that the very thing ant to sabotage Xu Yang would end up allowing him to perform a great service.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."
Not wanting to see the two of them any longer, he found an excuse to leave and returned to the Outer Disciple residences.
There was no one in the courtyard; they must have all gone out on missions.
He unstrapped the saber from his back, took all his contribution points, and hurried to the Hidden Skills Hall without stopping. Soon, he saw the sa Steward Liu from last ti.
"This disciple greets Steward Liu."
Xu Yang cupped his fist in greeting, then secretly pressed a piece of silver into the steward’s hand.
He was extrely generous this ti, handing over five taels.
After secretly weighing the silver, a satisfied expression appeared on Steward Liu’s face. He said, "Ah, it’s you, kid. Have you already achieved Qi Cultivation Gang, accumulated enough contribution points, and co to exchange for a Gang Qi Martial Technique?"
Xu Yang nodded and cupped his fist. "Steward is truly perceptive. That is indeed the case."
Steward Liu nodded. "If you have any questions, go ahead and ask. But let tell you first, the second floor of the Hidden Skills Hall is different from the first. The Martial Arts on the first floor aren’t finely categorized, so I can give you so pointers to get a good deal.
"As for the Martial Arts on the second floor, they are priced with contribution points according to their level of sophistication. In other words, there’s not much I can advise you on. If you want a powerful Martial Art, just pick one with a high contribution point cost."
’So I just wasted five taels of silver?’
Unwilling to give up, Xu Yang asked, "Aren’t there any Cultivation Techniques that are powerful but have a low contribution point cost? Or perhaps one that’s very strong but costs very little because it’s extrely difficult to master? If not, even a fragnted Divine Skill would be fine. This disciple’s Comprehension is quite good."
Steward Liu rolled his eyes. "You’ve been reading too many of those storybooks, haven’t you, kid? Thinking you’re the main character? The people in the Sect aren’t fools. Why would there be a Cultivation Technique that’s powerful yet costs very few contribution points?
"Every single Martial Art in the Hidden Skills Hall has been successfully mastered by soone before. There’s no chance for you to find so hidden gem."
’Web novels are a plague! Five taels of silver, gone just like that.’
Steward Liu sighed. "Fine, whatever. Tell which Heart thod you cultivate. I’ll recomnd a few Martial Techniques that complent it."
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up. "This disciple cultivates the Fuyue Bear Scripture!"
Steward Liu’s gaze sharpened. "The Fuyue Bear Scripture? What a coincidence, I cultivate the Fuyue Bear Scripture as well. The Fuyue Bear Scripture cultivates one from the inside out, refining both the internal and external. Those who practice it possess imnse strength that others of the sa level cannot hope to match.
"You should choose the Fuyue Bear King’s Palm, which shares the sa origin as the Fuyue Bear Scripture. The two techniques co from the sa lineage. In the future, when you master them to a profound level, they can rge into one. There’s even a chance you could comprehend a Martial Dao Imagery, reaching a Supre Realm where your every move is like a landslide or a tsunami, and your imagery shakes the very heavens."
Xu Yang’s heart pounded in his chest as he listened. He couldn’t believe the Fuyue Bear Scripture had a corresponding Martial Technique from the sa origin—it was undoubtedly the top choice. He couldn’t believe he hadn’t thought of it. It seed that when Lin Cheng had passed the Fuyue Bear Scripture to him, he had ntioned that after coming to the Purple Sun Sect, Xu Yang should look for a chance to find the subsequent Heart thod for the Fuyue Bear Scripture.
"May I ask the steward, how many contribution points does this Fuyue Bear King’s Palm cost?" Xu Yang asked, cupping his fist.
Steward Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Not much. Only three hundred contribution points. Don’t tell you don’t even have three hundred contribution points?"
Xu Yang: ...
’Are three hundred contribution points so easy to earn?’
’Among this batch of Outer Disciples, my contribution points should be considered among the highest.’
’Earning three hundred contribution points in less than half a year ans an average of over fifty per month. Even a disciple at Gang Qi Minor Achievent probably couldn’t earn that much, unless they have backing.’
"Alright, your five taels of silver were only enough to answer that question. I’ll give you an extra hour, for a total of two hours. Take your ti choosing."
"Many thanks, Steward Liu!" Xu Yang said with a cupped fist.
’So the five taels of silver weren’t wasted after all. I got a piece of information and an extra hour to choose.’
But now he hesitated, unsure whether he should exchange for sothing else now or save his contribution points to redeem the Fuyue Bear King’s Palm later.
