Chapter 38: Promoted to inner disciple, she can’t get out of this head

Information registered and received a new identity. Wu Ping followed the guidance of the inner disciple token and arrived at the inner disciple’s residence. After selecting a house at random, he hurriedly entered.

“They all say that the treatment of inner disciples is significantly better than that of outer disciples, but I didn’t expect the difference to be so pronounced!”

Looking at the twenty-five spirit stones in the storage bag, Wu Ping smiled broadly. The sect gave twenty spirit stones to the Inner Sect disciples, and the remaining five were rewards for tasks from the Deng family. Additionally, he acquired ten spirit stones from Wu Kongsheng.

Wu Ping possessed thirty-five spirit stones, solving his immediate needs. The lack of spirit stones was considerable, especially with the magic tree being a seemingly insatiable entity!

Comparatively, using these spirit stones personally seemed less efficient than utilising the magic tree. After all, the tree’s strength mirrored his own. Moreover, the concentration of aura in the inner disciples’ area exceeded that of Wu Ping’s previous residence.

Inner disciples also had access to elective courses provided by elders. These could be attended by contributing spirit stones, a treatment that Wu Ping found astonishing. However, he wasn’t inclined to attend these lectures. His spirit stones were precious, and he didn’t possess many contribution points.

He contemplated saving them for the black market to exchange them for more spirit stones. Why spend them on lectures?

Wu Ping’s qualifications were decent, having consumed numerous zombie crystal nuclei, giving him self-sufficiency. While the elders possessed more knowledge, it was temporary compared to his experience.

Closing doors and windows, Wu Ping flashed back to the doomsday world.

...

It had been seven or eight days since Wu Ping last visited the Doomsday world. The magic tree was no longer a sapling, having grown into a small tree five or six meters tall with two bifurcations. The once dim golden leaf now radiated a strong golden light, enhancing the atmosphere around the tree.

But time waited for no one. Considering the many tasks ahead, Wu Ping didn’t want to waste any time. He immediately took Lin Wanli’s token and headed towards Houshan.

Meanwhile, at Elder Qin’s residence, Xuexuan took the pill but remained pale with a collapsed fist mark on her chest. Even a gentle breath caused her pain. The thought of Wu Ping intensified her resentment.

“You’re injured, don’t be angry,” said Elder Qin, her master, with a delicate appearance despite the elder title.

“Master, the disciples really can’t swallow this humiliation!” Xuexuan expressed her hatred, despising Wu Ping for his unyielding attitude and lack of mercy.

Elder Qin understood her disciple well. “You gained fame early, crowned as a genius, and haven’t faced failures. This can be a learning experience for your growth.”

“But Master, haven’t you experienced failure too? Why do you want me to experience it!” Xuexuan angrily spat blood.

Elder Qin comforted her with a pill, “Okay, okay. The master will handle this matter for you. Just take the medicine and focus on practice. I will teach you a secret method. When your cultivation grows, you can seek revenge.”

“Since he has a strong physique, I’ll give you a magic weapon to break through it.”

“Master, my dear master, how long until the disciple reclaims her honour? It’s been too long for the disciple to wait.”

Elder Qin was helpless and replied, “Then what do you want? Can an elder like me intervene for you?”

“Why can’t you? Please help me, Master, you are the best.”

A figure silently appeared as they spoke, holding a sword and stating, “She won’t escape this fate.”
