Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 132 Cultivation Resources
Seeing Jin Xue's reaction, Ning Fusang felt it didn't seem fake and began to believe it somewhat.

She had no intention of wasting time with Jin Xue here, and said directly, "I want to take Cai Lian's belongings with me."

Ning Fusang wasn't discussing this with Jin Xue; she came to Quancao Garden specifically for this matter.

Jin Xue was extremely reluctant, but she still handed over the items: a storage bag, two sachets, sixty spirit stones, several books, and Cai Lian's most cherished clay sculpture of a fathead fish.

Ning Fusang glanced at the pile of spirit stones on the bed and said calmly, "We don't need the spirit stones. Clear out the wooden box."

Jin Xue held her breath and slammed the wooden box down. A pile of spirit stones clattered together and piled up on the bed.

Ning Fusang packed Cai Lian's belongings into a wooden box, swept it with her sleeve, put it into her storage bag, and went out.

"Is Senior Sister Ning leaving? I'll see you off." Ruan San Niang stood in the courtyard and asked as she saw Ning Fusang come out, taking small steps forward.

"No need." It's only a few steps, not worth it at all.

Ruan San Niang said "Oh" and then said, "Okay."

"Take care, Senior Sister Ning."

As the young girl stepped out of the courtyard, a female disciple dressed in a light yellow gauze robe nudged Ruan San Niang's arm with her elbow and asked curiously, "That senior sister, is she a direct disciple? I saw the words on her identity jade token. Which elder resides at Tianxin Peak?"

Ruan Sanniang shook her head: "I don't know anything about the inner sect either." She had never even heard of the name Tianxin Peak.

The woman thought about it and realized that Ruan San Niang had never been to the inner gate.

"However, this senior sister is too arrogant and seems difficult to get along with." Even someone like Jin Xue is somewhat afraid of her, so it's conceivable that her temperament is not as good as her appearance.

Upon hearing this, Ruan San Niang, unusually, spoke up to deny the woman's words: "Senior Sister Ning is just cold-hearted, but she is a very good person."

After three years of living and working together, Ruan San Niang deeply understood the words that Master Gu had told her when she first joined the sect.

Senior Sister Ning has a cool and aloof personality and is highly skilled, but she won't go looking for trouble unless provoked.

When I helped her carry things, she would pay me the full price and thank me politely. Ruan San Niang had seen her; she was well-educated, reasonable, and respectful of her teachers. She knew that most of the rumors circulating outside were untrue.

Jin Xue, who was inside the gate, had never heard anyone say that Ning Fusang people were good before, and she couldn't help but sneer.

They had no idea that Ning Fusang was ruthless when it came to killing, no less so than demonic cultivators.

Ignoring Jin Xue's sarcastic remarks, Ruan San Niang, who still had to copy books for someone, turned around and went back into the house.

The woman then turned away and went about her own business.

After leaving Quancao Garden, Ning Fusang flew to Kaiyang Peak on his sword.

The square was deserted, with only a handful of disciples practicing swordsmanship. Ning Fusang sheathed his flying sword and stepped into the Guangyuan Hall.

The main hall was spacious and bright, with several pillars carved with auspicious beasts and painted with gold, making it magnificent. The disciples on duty, bored, flipped through some books to pass the time.

Today wasn't the day for distributing cultivation resources at the beginning of the month, so there were very few people at Guangyuan Hall. In front of Ning Fusang, there was only one woman dressed in a yellow and white dress.

The woman's voice was clear and calm as she said, "I've come to collect last month's cultivation resources."

The disciple on duty took the identity jade token handed to him by the woman, carefully checked it, and then took out a booklet to search for records.

There were indeed vacancies last month.

She turned the booklet around and pushed it in front of the woman, saying, "Sign here."

After the formalities were completed, the disciple on duty handed the woman a bamboo slip, indicating that she should go to the inner hall to collect the cultivation resources for the previous month and this month.

The woman, clutching the bamboo slip, walked around the screen wall and into the inner hall. Ning Fusang handed over her identity jade token.

When the female disciple on duty saw that it was the identity jade token of a direct disciple, she raised her eyes and flipped it over.

Tianxin Peak.

Isn't this peak without any elders in charge?

But the identity jade token was made by the sect, so it couldn't be fake.

The female disciple on duty said softly, "Please wait a moment, senior sister."

She lowered her head and went to find the booklet belonging to the direct disciples. When she turned to the back, there was indeed a lineage of Tianxin Peak, with only one name under it—Ning Fusang.

Large blank spaces, from the beginning of the year until August, without a single red checkmark. At the very top, there is a line of annotation: last year's surplus.

The female disciple couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; this senior sister in front of her hadn't claimed her cultivation resources for a whole year.

As Ning Fusang flipped through the booklet, her gaze fell upon many names that had been crossed out in vermilion ink. These must have been disciples whose life lamps had been extinguished in the Star of Fate Tower.

The Southern Star Sword Sect also suffered considerable losses during this trip to the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm.

Ning Fusang lowered his eyes, picked up a brush and signed his name several times before receiving two different bamboo slips.

A quarter of an hour later, after collecting the cultivation resources, Ning Fusang also handed over a few spiritual plants and exchanged them for 20,000 contribution points before returning to Tianxin Peak.

Disciples of a sect do not need to hand over what they obtain in the secret realm to the sect, but they can exchange it for contribution points at the sect.

Cultivation grounds such as Cloud Spirit Valley, Scripture Pavilion, and Sword Stone Forest all require sect contribution points from the Southern Star Sword Sect to enter.

Therefore, most disciples, upon returning from the secret realm, would choose to voluntarily hand over some spiritual plants, beast cores, and other items.

Moreover, it's just handing over some resources; the opportunities they gain in the secret realm are still in their own hands. No disciple would be unwilling to do something that benefits both themselves and the sect.

Although Ning Fusang has special privileges, such as being able to stay in the Sutra Repository for an hour each day, viewing the complete cultivation method still requires contribution points to offset the cost.

The more precious the Taoist scriptures and techniques, the higher the contribution points required. She used several high-level spiritual plants to exchange for 20,000 contribution points, hoping to find a suitable cultivation method in the Scripture Pavilion.

Ning Fusang had obtained quite a few cultivation techniques from picking up corpses several times. However, they were either too low-grade or demonic cultivation techniques. Although the "Qin Qu Jing" was of decent grade, it was not suitable for her.

So far, all she has is the Lesser Heavenly Cycle "Spirit Refining Technique," the advanced version of the "Spiritual Qi Technique," and a beginner-level body refining method that she memorized from the Scripture Pavilion.

Then there's the "South Star Sword Technique," but I only learned the fourth level.

He comprehended the "Splitting Flower Sword" technique in Yunling Valley. He also learned the "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" sword technique, a divine power passed down by Master Dai.

It's hard to imagine that such a configuration is what a cultivator at the sixth level (and ninth level) should have.

Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators usually possess several cultivation techniques by the time they reach the fifth level.

Ning Fusang exhaled a breath of stale air, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and in a few breaths, landed on the top of Tianxin Peak.

The mountain was arranged exactly as it had been before she left. Except that there were several notes on the stone table, informing her of the lessons she needed to make up next spring.

Because of the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm incident, Ning Fusang was almost absent from her second year in the inner sect, so she had to make up for the three courses that she was required to take that year in the second year.

If you don't make up for the missed lessons in the second year, you'll have to make them up in the third year. As a result, the amount of homework will pile up.

Ning Fusang was quite interested in the courses of the Southern Star Sword Sect because those teachers were genuinely teaching.
