Chapter 220: 220 Generous Rewards for Advancing into the Inner Sect

Upon suddenly hearing Yu Shu’s question, Yun Xiao’s heart stirred as he recalled the sensing he felt on the third level of the Jade Pot Cave, unconsciously clenching his fists. At this moment, he realized that the crescent-shaped mark on the palm of his right hand seemed to exude even more warmth.

Seeing Yun Xiao not speaking, Yu Shu continued, "What you do not know is that I was in the ninth level of the Jade Pot Cave at the time, and a certain object, due to your arrival, underwent a special change!"

This statement from Yu Shu was also an answer to Yun Xiao’s previous questions, it appears that when Yun Xiao entered the third level of the Jade Pot Cave and connected with something deep inside it, that object, indeed, experienced some unknown changes, just as the Sect Leader had witnessed.

"What... exactly is that object?"

Upon hearing this, a tremendous interest surged in Yun Xiao’s heart. He had always been preoccupied with the sensation he felt in the Jade Pot Cave, yet he never knew what it was and was thus extremely curious.

It could be said that Yun Xiao’s ability to undergo a spiritual rebirth and cultivate the unrivalled Ancient Dragon Taming Technique was all because of the Blood Moon Jade left behind by his father.

Now, the Blood Moon Jade had transformed into a crescent-shaped blood mark on Yun Xiao’s right palm, but he did not know much about the magic of the Blood Moon Jade, only that it was of great importance to him and could even help him find his biological father whom he had never met.

Therefore, Yun Xiao would not miss any clue related to the Blood Moon Jade. Moreover, with the Shang Family wiped out, the tragic loss of his mother and sister in this life seemed to be connected to the Blood Moon Jade, and Yun Xiao truly wanted to delve into the mystery.

"This, I cannot yet tell you. That object is of utmost importance to our Jade Pot Sect, even, one could say, the Sect Treasure. Once you’ve reached a certain level in your cultivation, I will personally take you to see it!"

However, Yu Shu’s response was not satisfactory to Yun Xiao, who, from the sound of it, clearly wasn’t yet qualified to access such a treasure.

"Yun Xiao, for hundreds of years since the founding of the Jade Pot Sect, that object has always existed in the ninth level of the Jade Pot Cave, and no one has ever been able to elicit a reaction from it. You are the first. Now, do you understand why I chose to take you as my disciple?"

Yu Shu explained further, and his last statement served as a final note to Yun Xiao’s previous questions. All of these events were caused by the reaction that Yun Xiao’s entry into the Jade Pot Cave provoked in the treasure.

Since Yu Shu was not forthcoming with more information, Yun Xiao did not press the issue, but now he felt reassured, sensing that this person, who explained so much to him with patience, was different from Fu Du in terms of heart, at least ensuring his safety.

"Teacher, what level of cultivation do I need to achieve to see that object?"

With a change in his tone, and the address of "Teacher", a deeper smile appeared on Yu Shu’s face. It seemed that the young man had finally let go of his wariness and truly accepted him.

"Spirit Vein Realm! That is the minimum requirement, however..."

Yu Shu spoke without hesitation, revealing a direct Cultivation Level, but his tone shifted as he added, "If you can break into the ninth level of the Jade Pot Cave, you might also have a chance to encounter that object earlier. It all depends on your own fortune!"

"Spirit Vein Realm..."

From Yu Shu’s words, Yun Xiao understood that the Vein Demons within the Jade Pot Cave not only grow stronger with each level but that the entrance of each level is guarded by a Guardian.

Yun Xiao, being extremely astute, realized that although Yu Shu mentioned breaking into the ninth level to encounter the object, with the Spirit Vein Realm as a prerequisite, he believed that the Guardian from the eighth to the ninth level was likely to be an incredibly powerful being at least in the Early Stage of the Spirit Vein Realm.

Therefore, Yun Xiao temporarily set aside the idea of entering the ninth level of the Jade Pot Cave. After all, he was only at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm, not even certain he could defeat cultivators at the Early to Middle Meridian Rushing Realm, let alone those in the Spirit Vein Realm.

"Yun Xiao, hand me your points card!"

As Yun Xiao was deep in thought assimilating what Yu Shu had said, Yu Shu spoke up again, this time extending his hand, prompting a slight start from Yun Xiao.

Still, Yun Xiao did as he was told and retrieved his points card from his Waist Storage. However, there was only the large digit "zero" on it, indicating he didn’t have a single point.

Previously, in the Mysterious Artifact Hall, Yun Xiao had spent a whole thousand points to exchange for the strange Black Key and had come close to brawling with Bi Luo and Xuan Zhi.

In fact, Yun Xiao had some regrets after leaving the Mysterious Artifact Hall, as the unremarkable Black Key had just laid quietly in his Waist Storage ever since, without a hint of activity, making him doubt whether those thousand points had been squandered.

But since the points had already been spent, there was nothing Yun Xiao could do about his doubts. And now, as he saw Yu Shu taking his points card, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope.

Swoosh!

Yun Xiao saw Yu Shu swipe his hand across the points card, a faint glimmer flashed by, and he thought he could make out the character "five," deepening the anticipation in his heart by several notches.

"Every newly promoted Inner Sect disciple receives a reward of three thousand points, but as you are my disciple, Yu Shu, of course, I can’t let you be slighted!"

Yu Shu was speaking as he handed the points card back to Yun Xiao. His words took Yun Xiao by surprise and delight; this reward was something he had not heard of before.

"Wha... five thousand?!"

However, when Yun Xiao took the points card, his eyes widened and he couldn’t recover his senses for a while because the number displayed on the card wasn’t the three thousand that Yu Shu mentioned earlier, but five thousand!

Five thousand points, he recalled how he had once fought desperately, offended Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, and nearly died at Mo Qing’s hand, just to complete that low-level Spiritual Rank Fire Spirit Crystal task, and the final reward points were only two thousand.

After a visit to the Mysterious Artifact Hall, Yun Xiao finally understood the importance of points. Inside the Jade Pot Sect, without points, one would essentially be incapacitated.

Whether one wishes to exchange for some Cultivation Techniques and Meridian Techniques, or some precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or even to enter the Jade Pot Cave, corresponding points are needed, and the higher the rank of the items, the more points are required.

After spending a thousand points to exchange for that Black Key, Yun Xiao was worrying about where to get more points when he ran into this unexpected windfall - a full five thousand points falling from the sky. How could he not be inexplicably excited?

With these five thousand points, there are so many things Yun Xiao can do, and the most urgent task in front of him is to raise his Meridian Qi Cultivation to the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage as soon as possible.

Although breaking through a Great Rank is extremely difficult, for Yun Xiao, who was a Holy Rank Meridian Refining Master in his past life, with enough resources, it might become much simpler, and these five thousand points would be his most solid backing to step into the Meridian Rushing Realm.

"But it’s just five thousand points. Look how happy you are. Your master has even more joyful news for you!"

Seeing Yun Xiao’s elation, Yu Shu couldn’t help but chide him with a laugh. Only now, he finally saw this almost demonically intelligent lad showing such genuine emotion.

But Yu Shu also knows how precious points are to these newly admitted disciples of the Jade Pot Sect. As the Sect Master of the Jade Pot Sect, he of course doesn’t care about them, but points are indeed the foundation of every young disciple, the more the better.

"Something even more delightful?"

After the huge shock of the five thousand points, Yun Xiao was quite looking forward to this so-called "even more joyful matter," and immediately fixed his gaze intently on the Sect Leader of the Jade Pot Sect before him.

"When you first entered the Outer Sect, you had one free opportunity to enter the Jade Pot Cave. Joining the Inner Sect, you will again be granted a free chance. How about that, are you happier now?"

Yu Shu didn’t play coy and directly shared the news, which left Yun Xiao briefly stunned, but then he was overwhelmed with joy.

The Jade Pot Cave is recognized as the most special place within the entire Jade Pot Sect, filled with numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, many of which are rarely seen outside.

For instance, the Stone Heart Marrow that Yun Xiao obtained from the third floor of the Jade Pot Cave last time is extremely important even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. That special effect of enhancing a human cultivator’s Physical Strength is avidly sought after by many High Rank experts.

Yun Xiao doesn’t know why the Jade Pot Cave can grow so many treasures, but he clearly understands that each opportunity to enter the Jade Pot Cave equals another chance to obtain treasures, free of charge at that, which is a joyous occasion.

The Jade Pot Cave is different from the Mysterious Artifact Hall. Although a certain amount of points must be paid to enter the cave, once the treasures inside are obtained, they belong to oneself without any additional point expenditure.

If one is extremely lucky, a small number of points might result in obtaining treasures worth several times, or even more than ten times the value of the points spent. Such events have happened before.

Furthermore, Yun Xiao now knows that there are things of great significance to him on the ninth floor of the Jade Pot Cave, which makes him even more eager to enter the cave. He really wanted to sense again that special connection he felt.

"Stay here for today, and tomorrow Wolf Hawk will take you to the Jade Pot Cave!"

Seeing Yun Xiao’s impatience, as if he wished to fly straight to the Jade Pot Cave this very moment, Yu Shu couldn’t help but smile wryly. After leaving those words, he turned and disappeared into the depths of the hall.

A touch of coolness swept over him, making Yun Xiao’s body shrink slightly. But the next moment, he sensed a cold intent emanating from the Ancestor Vein in his left arm, as though it had established an unknowable connection with some kind of energy in the Cold Jade Hall. This discovery surprised and delighted him.
