Chapter 121 - 1000 Contribution Points
"What"s the matter, Senior?" Yuan asked him once the rest of the disciples had left the room.
"Grand Elder Xuan told me to hand you this Identification Token to you," said the sect elder as he handed Yuan another ident.i.ty token.
"Identification Token? But I already have one," Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
"Don"t ask me, I am just following the Grand Elder"s orders." The sect elder shrugged before walking away in a hurried manner, almost like he didn"t want to stay there any longer.
"What kind of background does that disciple have that the Grand Elder would do something like this for him?" The sect elder wondered to himself after leaving the building, as this is his first time seeing a Grand Elder being involved with a mere Outer Court disciple, and he made a mental note to not offend a disciple named "Yuan".
Once the sect elder was gone, Yuan used his spiritual sense to activate the identification token, and inside his mind appeared the location of his living quarters. However, since he has 2 identification tokens, Yuan looked into both of them just in case there was a difference.

"1,000 contribution points!" Although he didn"t know its worth, Yuan was delighted to suddenly have 1,000 contribution points.
While Yuan didn"t know this, the 1,000 contribution points was a portion of what Elder Xuan earned after winning the gamble regarding his results during the Tablet of Comprehension.
There were also two different buildings, so Yuan decided to take a look at the living quarter attached to the bronze token, which was building #2,600 within the Outer Sect.
After following the map in the token for about half an hour, Yuan arrived before this ordinary-looking building. Once he used the token to open the door, Yuan entered the house and looked around.
There were many rooms available inside the house— six to be exact, and five of them had their doors closed whilst the room near the end of the hallway was open.
Yuan walked to the end of the hallway to look inside the room, and as he"d expected, the room was completely empty.
"This isn"t much better than the guest room I"d stayed 7 days in…" Yuan was baffled when he saw how the bed alone took up half of the entire room.
However, at least this bed has a mattress on it. The quality of the mattress was another matter, though, as it was tough and uncomfortable.
Of course, Yuan was unaware that there was a good reason as to why an elite sect such as the Dragon Essence Temple would have such poor living conditions, as having a comfortable bed or environment would only encourage laziness, hence why the sect is making it difficult for the disciples to relax and be lazy.
"Hopefully the other building is slightly better," Yuan sighed before walking out of the room.
"Hm? Are you a new disciple?"
One of the other 5 closed rooms there suddenly opened, and a young man around Yuan"s age walked out of the room at the same time Yuan walked out of his room.
"Yes, I am," Yuan nodded.
"I see. Well, welcome to building #2,600. My surname is Shen, and I became a disciple here not long ago— three months ago." The disciple extended his hand for a handshake.
Yuan accepted the handshake and introduced himself, "My name is Yuan, and I just pa.s.sed the disciple examination."
"Oh? Did you perhaps manage to see Fairy Min during the examination?" Disciple Shen suddenly changed topics.
"Fairy Min? Oh, yes, I saw her achieving 50 steps during the third examination," Yuan nodded.
"d.a.m.n! You lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d managed to witness Fairy Min"s glory! I wish I was there! If only I didn"t decide to partic.i.p.ate in the previous examination!" Disciple Shen exclaimed, dumbfounding Yuan.
"Is she that famous?" Yuan asked him afterward.
"Of course! Don"t tell me you"ve not heard of her family— the Min Family?! They are one of the Seven Legacy Families!" Disciple Shen spoke with an admiring look on his face.
"Legacy Families? What are those?" Yuan raised his eyebrows, as this is his first time hearing such a thing.
"You must have come from a backwater place if you don"t even know of the Seven Legacy Families! They are the most influential and powerful families within the Lower Heavens. However, the most special thing about the Legacy Families is their history and background, as they are merely branches of a much larger power in the upper heavens!"
"Why would they do that?" Yuan asked.
"To train their descendants, obviously. If their descendants, which is Fairy Min in this case, fulfill her family"s legacy, she will receive immense status and power once she returns to her family in the upper heavens. And for a family to have their own Legacy, the Min Family must be immensely powerful even in the upper heavens."
"Wow, the cultivation world is much more complicated than I thought…" Yuan mumbled in a low voice.
"Anyways, I"m going to see if there are any easy missions I can partake in at the Mission Hall. I"ll see you around, fellow disciple." Disciple Shen waved at him before leaving the building.
Meanwhile, Yuan followed the map in his second identification token and went to his second living quarters.
"This is…"
However, before he even reached his building, Yuan was quickly dumbfounded by the luxurious buildings located in this area, feeling as though he"d accidentally entered the wrong neighborhood that was meant for the wealthy and powerful disciples.
"Am I going to live here?" Yuan wondered as he looked for building #70.
