Chapter 40
In terms of talent, Ke Xin was slightly better than Dong Xi. However, Dong Xi had used only a month to reach the first level of Qi Refinement. It had to be said that Dong Xi had really given it her all. Previously, Dong Xi had cultivated without rest and sleep. Everyone in the entire Ningtian Sect knew about this and many people had been forced to follow her path of seclusion. However, only she herself knew if she had really cultivated seriously.
For example, Ke Xin also cultivated day and night, but she knew very well that she spent most of her time every day eating melon seeds, gossiping, and doing other miscellaneous things. If she had really worked hard, it would be impossible for her to not enter the Library Pavilion at this time. Now, she could not enter the Library Pavilion. Next time, the same might happen with the inner sect if she did not change.
Dong Xi did not know that he had unintentionally given Ke Xin so much pressure. After entering the library several times, Dong Xi went straight to the medicinal herbs section. After careful selection, she finally chose two books. One was the ‘Practical Record of Immortal Cultivation Medicinal Herbs’ and the other was the ‘Complete Collection of Medicinal Herbs’. However, just as she was about to borrow two books, the Senior Sister in charge of the Library Pavilion told Dong Xi that each disciple could only borrow one book at a time.
Dong Xi thought about it carefully and finally chose Practical Record of Immortal Cultivation Medicinal Herbs. There was no other reason other than the fact that this book was full of pictures and texts. When the time came, not only would she remember the name, but she would also know what the medicinal herb looked like. Dong Xi walked out with the copied jade slip and immediately explained when she Saw Ke Xin waiting outside.
“Let’s go buy some brush and paper. Each person can only choose one book at a time. I’ll make a copy for you when I get back.”
At first, Ke Xin had been a little worried when she saw that Dong Xi only had a jade slip in her hand. However, after hearing Dong Xi’s words, Ke Xin understood. After all, they were all outer sect disciples, unlike inner sect geniuses who had so many special privileges. It was better to go back and copy a jade slip than nothing.
Ke Xin immediately smiled at Dong Xi. “Alright, I’ll pay for the brush and paper myself.”
Dong Xi laughed when she heard this. She was really poor now and wanted to save up more spirit stones so that even if she was forced to leave the sect in the future, she could still survive. If Ke Xin had not said anything, Dong Xi would not have cared about such a small amount of money. Dong Xi also knew that Ke Xin did not want to be looked down upon, so Dong Xi jokingly said, “Don’t worry, I won’t fight with you. I’m very poor now.”
All the things in the sect had to be exchanged at the Points Hall. Dong Xi and Ke Xin went to the Points Hall to make a fuss. Both of them thought that ordinary paper was enough to copy a book. They did not need to buy anything good. One Spirit stone could be exchanged for a lot of ordinary paper.
Ke Xin was about to buy more when she heard Dong Xi ask, “Senior Sister Wang Ying, I would like to ask, can gold and silver be exchanged for ordinary paper?”
In the world of cultivators, gold and silver were of no use. In the world of cultivators, everything was bought with spirit stones. Dong Xi was just asking casually. After all, she still had gold and silver in her hands, and they were of no use to her. It would be best if they could be exchanged, but if they could not, then so be it. However, she did not expect Wang Ying to tell them that they could be exchanged.
“The sect’s disciples have to go to the mortal world to gain experience, it can help to temper their mental state. Therefore, the disciples who enter the mortal world will come here to exchange for some gold and silver before they leave. But those aren’t worth many points, so you won’t be able to buy much.”
When Dong Xi heard this, she did not care too much. Ordinary gold and silver were useless. She would exchange them for as much as she could. It was a waste of space to carry them on her. It was better to exchange them with spirit stones. This was a good thing, right?
Dong Xi said as he took out two pieces of gold from his storage bag and handed them to Wang Ying. “Senior Sister, how much can I get for these?”
Wang Ying took out two stacks of paper and a weasel hair brush and gave them to Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked at the paper and brush in her hand and felt that it was quite a lot. She was very satisfied. Anyway, there was no use keeping these things.
When she went out to gain experience in the future, she could come back and exchange them for gold and silver. Dong Xi licked her lips and took out a jade pendant that her original body had brought from the mortal world.
“Senior Sister, can you help me take a look again? can this thing be exchanged for some points?”
