Chapter 24

Now, she couldn’t even catch up to ask him; it seemed inappropriate, and there was no need for it. Although his agility was impressive, it was just a secondary auxiliary skill. She had seen others with better agility and had even defeated some of them.

Good agility doesn’t mean strong power!

Qin Shuang felt a bit disoriented this time, actually letting someone else’s actions affect her mindset, which was very detrimental to her cultivation. She couldn’t afford to let herself relax now...

Qin Shuang quickly put the matter of the intruder aside, but she still felt a bit curious about who this intruder was. She didn’t need to spend much effort figuring it out; her senior brothers would take care of it.

The direction this guy went...

"Shallow Skill" could it be referring to...

...

"Salary, salary..."

Bu Zheng ran all the way to the Salary Hall, never stopping his chant, even after entering the hall. The people waiting in front of him looked at him with disdain, as if to say, "Have you never seen money before?"

Bu Zheng ignored these looks, continuing to act as he pleased until he received his monthly salary. Of course, in the current situation, no one would bother to speak to him.

After receiving his salary, Bu Zheng counted it several times before putting it in his pocket, satisfied. He then left, humming a tune that was off-key, without attracting any attention. After all, he was just a lowly servant disciple, not particularly handsome.

However, this lowly servant disciple was at the center of a storm, with a group of people looking for him. It was because of his unexpected appearance and his agility, which was completely out of place for a servant disciple.

Of course, Bu Zheng himself didn’t know about these matters. He just went to the Contribution Hall to see if he could get something useful.

Actually, he had a plan. He wasn’t going to exchange all his contributions for money. His plan wasn’t to get better cultivation resources but to improve his efficiency.

The items he wanted to exchange for could also be bought with silver. Most people would consider it a waste, as it would have almost the same effect as exchanging it for silver.

The item he wanted was a Qiankun Bag, a type of storage array device that could be bought outside, purely an auxiliary array device...

For the disciples of the sect, contribution points should be used to exchange for things like elixirs, cultivation techniques, and array devices, which might not be available for money.

But for Bu Zheng, he valued practical and valuable items. A Qiankun Bag was extremely useful for him. When gathering herbs, a Qiankun Bag could solve the problem of carrying food and storing herbs, freeing him from many restrictions and allowing him to gather herbs more efficiently.

Because of this, he urgently needed a Qiankun Bag, even a small one would do. He only wanted one that was large enough to hold a hu (a unit of volume), which was smaller than his herb basket but didn’t need to be carried.

Fortunately, the smallest Qiankun Bag was usually three hu. Any smaller, and it would be melted down, as its value would be less than the materials it could be broken down into.

The size of a Qiankun Bag depends on the materials used, the skill of the maker, and fate. Even with inferior materials, if one has good luck, they can still create a Qiankun Bag with a much larger space. It all depends on fate.

Bu Zheng asked about the Qiankun Bags here. The smallest one required a thousand contribution points, equivalent to about half a year’s standard contribution for a new disciple. In terms of silver, that would be one hundred taels.

In Bu Zheng’s words, this was a robbery, and a big one at that!

One hundred taels of silver, in his village, could buy many wives and many oxen...

Wait, are oxen and wives equivalent?

Regardless, this was a huge sum of money, just for a small bag. This was definitely a robbery.

Fortunately, he had saved quite a bit over the past half year, and he could afford one hundred taels...

Hmm, if that’s the case, I’m a rich man now, a tycoon?

Yeah, if that’s the case, I’ll be generous. The smallest one wouldn’t suit a tycoon like me. I’ll take the bigger one—

"I’ll exchange for this!"

In the end, Bu Zheng took a Qiankun Bag that could hold ten hu. However, this wasn’t the largest Qiankun Bag here; it was only considered relatively large among the smaller ones.

Moreover, the Qiankun Bag was the lowest-end type of storage array device. The high-end ones were the ones carried by Ling Aoxue and Murong Qing, which were either bracelets or rings.

It wasn’t that these were high-end because they could be worn as accessories; it was due to the materials used. The materials determined the size of the space. In simple terms, no matter how large a Qiankun Bag was, it couldn’t compare to a Qiankun Ring, which was just a mundane item.

Therefore, Bu Zheng was still not a tycoon, just a small local tycoon...

Don’t think he’s improved just because he didn’t take the smallest one. That’s because he was using contribution points, not silver. If he had to pay in silver, he would definitely take the smallest one.

When you spend real money, you feel the pain deeply. Using contribution points, it’s not as painful, after all, it’s not silver.

This Qiankun Bag cost Bu Zheng over two thousand contribution points, a significant expenditure.

Actually, he had considered that these two thousand contribution points could be exchanged for over two hundred taels of silver. But he had heard that outside, two hundred taels could only buy the smallest Qiankun Bag. So, he had already gotten a good deal with these two thousand contribution points.

Exchanging items with contribution points in the sect always comes with some benefits, at least a significant discount. This made Bu Zheng think about whether he could exchange items with contribution points and then sell them, which might be the main reason he didn’t exchange his contribution points for silver.

"This? This costs over two thousand contribution points. Are you sure you want to exchange for it?" The person at the Contribution Hall looked at Bu Zheng with surprise. He hadn’t expected someone to spend over two thousand contribution points on a Qiankun Bag. This hadn’t been seen for years, and only those who no longer had a need would come to exchange, and they might not even exchange for a Qiankun Bag.
