Chapter 103: Options Available

Ye Jun was wondering what to do next when Mountain also announced his departure. Apparently, his target was the Spirit Food Hall and also the Alchemy Hall.

The giant of a man had no interest whatsoever in fighting, so he preferred making good food and saving people. That was the entire reason he came down from the mountains.

Apparently, he had mastered all the food recipes of Ulankar, which was baffling to know, so he decided to wander around the world and learn more recipes and make even better food.

That was how he got to know about human Spirit Food, which was made using Spiritual Beasts’ bodies by Spirit Food Masters. They could bring out the best of it and provide delicious and nutritional food to everyone.

It meant that the masters could preserve the essence of those beasts and add more using herbs and other materials. It helped in cultivation a lot, so many cultivators hoped to eat such food, but Spirit Food Masters were quite rare.

So, Ye Jun was quite surprised to know Mountain wanted to become one. Still, he was happy for it. Mountain did make delicious food, so after learning more, he would get even better.

Naturally, Ye Jun would have the privilege to eat delicious food with him as a friend then. So, they separated too, leaving him all alone to do whatever he wanted.

Looking down at the vast deepness under the stone bridge, Ye Jun thought about his options. He could go to the Falcon Grounds again to watch and collect more attributes, but that would defeat the purpose of everything he did.

If Meihui could guess the functions of his Innate Physique, or rather the system, then there was no saying that elders of the sect, or maybe the Pavilion Master himself, wouldn’t draw the same conclusion.

He didn’t want anyone to know of his secrets yet. Showing talent meant he was opening himself to risks and opportunities alike. But showing ridiculous talent would invite a lot of trouble, which wasn’t worth the opportunities.

This was why he chose to show a different aspect of his talent. His incredible comprehension. It was still ridiculous, but not that much.

This would let him enjoy the opportunities with minimal risks. After all, hiding too much would also be a waste of time and talent. If there were people willing to invest in him, he wasn’t going to decline the offer.

’So unless I’m fighting or something, I’ll have to be careful in visiting the Falcon Grounds. The disciples will also grow wary of me, afraid that I’ll steal their Mysterious Techniques.’

For now, he decided to abandon the thought of going there. The next option available to him was going back to his abode and working on his foundation first.

It was very tempting and necessary too. After all, he was growing rapidly, so he needed to stabilize his foundation before it got too late. It would mean spending days in seclusion too.

’Hmm. I need to do that.’

The other option was taking missions, which would let him get out of the sect and hunt in the wild. While he couldn’t use his cheat fully in the sect, it wasn’t the case outside.

Especially since he could hunt down monsters, Spiritual Beasts, bandits, and so many more beings who would let him level up rapidly. Not to mention, he would also gain contribution points from it.

’Alright. First, I’ll stabilize my foundation, then do some missions. After that, I’ll begin challenging people in the Tempest Gale Rankings. I’ll reach the top.’

There was no particular reason for it except that he wanted to be above everyone else. As for entering the Main Sect, there was also a hidden requirement he could fulfill to enter the Heavenly Frost Palace.

If someone reached the Soul Tempering Realm before turning twenty, they were allowed admission directly. This was why Han Zixuan was sure Meihui could enter the sect as long as she broke through.

Ye Jun still had around nine months left, so he was sure he could cross the five stages and achieve the Soul Tempering Realm by then.

’But I also need to enjoy the facilities of this sect.’

That was the main reason one joined a sect. Resources, facilities, environment, teachings, and security. All of this came with it.

But for that, he needed contribution points.

’Noice! I know what to do now.’

First, get contribution points from the Administration Hall, then check out the different facilities of the sect. If he found something good, then use it for some time.

Once everything was done, he would return to his abode and spend his days practicing the Grand Genesis Foundation Sutra. It would not only strengthen his foundation, but also his physique and cultivation too.

Although he didn’t want to become a shut-in, it was necessary for cultivation.

’No wonder so many people are arrogant as fuck in those Xianxia novels,’ Ye Jun said, as he crossed the stone bridge, his destination the Administration Hall. ’If they spend most of their life being a shut-in and feeling such power, arrogance will come naturally. Woah! Never thought of it that way.’

Midway, he encountered many disciples. Some ignored him completely while others gave him odd looks. Some shook their heads in disappointment, while others simply smirked at him, gloating in his suffering… future sufferings?

Ye Jun smiled at them. As for those who tried to mock him, he just told them he would be there to watch their matches. That was enough to shut their mouths as they left cursing him.

Soon, the Administration Hall came into his sight again, the majestic building still bearing a terrifying aura. Fortunately, there was less crowd now, so he entered easily.

Looking around, he found the section that dealt with contribution point distribution and found a young man with a bald head and lean physique sitting behind the desk.

He waited in the queue. When it was his turn, he tapped the table as the disciple looked up at him. Before Ye Jun could even say anything, the disciple exclaimed, “Ah! You’re that new troublemaker. You can leave. I’m not doing your work.”
