Yu Xingwu glanced at the system, wanting to say, You’ve certainly got ambition. The number one female Saber Cultivator in the entire immortal cultivation world? You really dare to dream.
The system was ambitious too, and the more she looked at it, the more it resembled one of her die-hard fans.
Right now, it was practically bursting with excitement as it displayed the System Shop in front of Yu Xingwu.
“Host, look! The shop has five grades of sabers: Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, Supreme-Grade, and Divine-Grade. Host currently has 750 points. Please choose which one you’d like to purchase~”
Yu Xingwu looked at the points listed beneath each grade, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
A Low-Grade Saber cost 100 points, a Mid-Grade Saber cost 500 points, a High-Grade Saber cost 1,200 points, a Supreme-Grade Saber cost 2,500 points, and a Divine-Grade Saber cost 6,666 points.
Good grief! What a ridiculous price! Why don’t you just rob me?!
If her Storage Ring hadn’t contained nothing but swords and no sabers, there was no way she’d ever buy one from the System Shop!
It also made her realize just how pitifully few points she had. She really should shower Shen Zhuo with more declarations of love and squeeze more points out of him!
“Can I exchange the Spirit Stones I have for points? I really don’t feel like going out to buy a saber.”
System: “…” Good grief. I’ve heard of exchanging points for Spirit Stones, but I’ve never heard of anyone wanting to exchange Spirit Stones for points.
The system replied, “Points can be exchanged for Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones at a rate of 1:100. But exchanging Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones for points would be an enormous loss!”
Yu Xingwu’s pupils widened in shock.
It was as though three enormous words had suddenly appeared above her head—
I’m filthy rich!
In the Cultivation World, the monthly allowance of Direct Disciples from the major sects generally didn’t exceed one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones, which was equivalent to at most one Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone per month.
But the system’s exchange rate was one point for one hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.
And every time she expressed her love for Shen Zhuo, she earned two hundred points, which meant…
“System, what’s 200 × 100 again?”
System: “…” Was Host taught mathematics by her physical education teacher?!
“Host, the answer is 20,000!”
Yu Xingwu was stunned, as though she’d just won fifty million in the lottery.
“One declaration of love to Shen Zhuo is worth twenty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones?! That damned villain is unbelievably valuable! I’d gladly die in his arms—ah, no, I mean I’d gladly simp for him until he dies!”
System: “…” I suspect you’re making a dirty joke, but I have no evidence…
The system continued, “However, I don’t recommend exchanging points for Spirit Stones, because the System Shop contains many things that can’t be purchased anywhere else!”
“Of course, I don’t recommend exchanging Spirit Stones for points either. It’s far too expensive.”
Yu Xingwu nodded repeatedly. For once, the damned system was making perfect sense.
That Divine-Grade Saber was a Divine Artifact!
A Divine Artifact! There were barely any such treasures in the entire Cultivation World! And besides that, the shop really did contain plenty of other wonderful things that couldn’t be bought elsewhere.
At this exchange rate, converting Spirit Stones into points would cost one hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones for a single point!
Even if she had more than ten thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones in her Storage Ring, that would only be enough to exchange for a little over a hundred points!
Forget it! Unless she’d completely lost her mind, she would never make such an exchange.
In fact, she wasn’t even going to buy a saber from the System Shop anymore. She wasn’t some gullible fool willing to be ripped off!
A Mid-Grade Saber cost 500 points, equivalent to fifty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones!
Forget fifty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones—even twenty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones would be enough to buy a High-Grade Saber from the sect’s Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
“Come on! We’re going to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to buy a saber!”
System: “…” Host certainly knows how to manage her money.
The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was located in the southwestern part of the Inner Sect. The pavilion stood six stories tall.
Everything sold inside consisted of items that sect disciples commonly needed in their daily cultivation.
There were all kinds of cultivation techniques and manuals, pills, Magical Artifacts, talismans, array discs, and even Spiritual Wood for constructing houses.
The higher an item’s grade, the higher the floor on which it was displayed. The first and second floors sold the most common goods, which were relatively inexpensive and of modest quality.
After all, even among Inner Sect Disciples and Direct Disciples, not everyone was wealthy.
Most Sword Cultivators among the Direct Disciples were actually quite poor.
But Yu Xingwu was different. With such a powerful father backing her, she certainly wasn’t one of those impoverished Sword Cultivators.
As soon as she entered the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Yu Xingwu noticed a female disciple sitting behind the counter.
More precisely, she was a Direct Disciple.
Apart from Yu Xingwu, who disliked wearing the sect’s “school uniform,” nearly every other disciple wore the standard Sect Disciple Uniform.
The uniforms worn by Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Direct Disciples were all different colors.
That was why she could tell at a glance that the woman was a Direct Disciple rather than Deacon Qin, who was responsible for managing the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
The female disciple also seemed surprised to see Yu Xingwu. However, in the very next instant, a hostile glint flashed through her eyes.
Despite that, she greeted Yu Xingwu with a cheerful smile. “Well, look who it is! So it’s Junior Sister Yu! What a coincidence! Deacon Qin had something to attend to and went out. I happened to come here to buy something, so she asked me to watch the shop for a while.”
“What would Junior Sister like to buy? I’ll get it for you.”
Yu Xingwu immediately understood. So this female Direct Disciple was temporarily looking after the shop.
Of course, every item in the sect’s Myriad Treasures Pavilion was carefully recorded in an inventory, and the building was also equipped with Shadow-Recording Stones—what people in the modern world would call surveillance cameras.
No matter which disciple was left in charge of the shop, the deacon didn’t have to worry about anything going missing.
But why did this female Direct Disciple look somewhat familiar?
Yu Xingwu couldn’t remember who she was.
After all, Tianlan Sect had the largest number of disciples of any sect. Even if there weren’t a thousand Direct Disciples, there were still seven or eight hundred. How could she possibly recognize every single one?
Still, they were both experienced schemers. What kind of ridiculous act was this female Direct Disciple trying to put on in front of her? Did she really think Yu Xingwu couldn’t see the hostility hidden in her eyes?
She mustn’t forget that Yu Xingwu was a born drama queen. Acting was what she did best, and this female Direct Disciple’s performance was rather poor by comparison.
【System, who is she?】
The system replied, “Identity scan complete. This person’s name is Lin Qian. She is the third disciple of Immortal Venerable Shaohua of Wangxia Peak.”
“Lin Xi, whom Host severely injured after taking performance-enhancing pills, is Immortal Venerable Shaohua’s second disciple. She is also Lin Qian’s senior sister and older paternal cousin.”
Well, that explained everything.
No wonder Lin Qian looked familiar. She was Lin Xi’s younger cousin, and the two bore some resemblance to each other.
The reason Lin Qian was looking at her with such hostility was that Yu Xingwu had severely injured her cousin.
What an awkward situation.
But what could she do? By the time she’d transmigrated into this world, the original Yu Xingwu had already taken those pills and injured Lin Xi.
It wasn’t her fault, yet she still had to maintain her vicious persona, so there was no way she could explain herself.
“You’re Immortal Venerable Shaohua’s disciple and Lin Xi’s younger cousin. Are you being so friendly to me because you don’t get along with Lin Xi, or because you’re secretly planning to harm me?”
Lin Qian froze.
She hadn’t expected Yu Xingwu, who had always looked down on everyone, to actually recognize her! And she’d even seen through her intentions.
Not only had Yu Xingwu seen through her intentions, she’d openly called her out on them.
Since that was the case, Lin Qian couldn’t be bothered to keep pretending. “Yu Xingwu, you took spirit-replenishing pills and seriously injured my older cousin! You’re despicable!”
“But things are different now! You’re nothing but a Fake Young Miss who stole someone else’s rightful place, and there’s no one left to protect you! You’d better hope you never fall into my hands, or I’ll make you pay!”
Yu Xingwu gave a disdainful laugh, acting as though Lin Qian wasn’t worth her attention. “If someone tried to seduce your future Dao Companion, tell me, wouldn’t you want to teach her a lesson?”
