Chapter 681: Inner Sect Disciple's Invitation

Xiao Chen started thinking about some things. In the previous month, Yun Feiyu suddenly rushed back to the sect ahead of schedule due to the summons of the true inheritors.

He wondered if the true inheritors' appearance here had anything to do with this and if it had anything to do with Yun Feiyu's decision to give up on one three-thousand-point mission and miss out on the top rank on the Contribution Ranking.

Clearly, there was a considerable benefit involved. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen was alone and did not have a force backing him. He felt curious, but he could not mingle with these true inheritors.

High in the skies above the hall, four of the other true inheritors of the Supreme Sky Sect watched as Yun Feiyu left with that group of true inheritors. Their expressions seemed grave.

Xiao Chen would recognize two out of these four people—Chen Xiao and Wang Cheng. Of which, Xiao Chen had some friendship with Chen Xiao.

Wang Cheng said to a black-clad youth on the right, "Senior Brother Hu, it looks like Hua Tianhe and his group have sought out Yun Feiyu. We are in trouble this time."

The black-clad man with the family name Hu sighed softly. "Without a doubt, the strongest person in the inner sect is Yun Feiyu. Within a year, at most, he will become a true inheritor. With his help, the balance of strength between Hua Tianhe and our group will be broken."

"Should we seek out someone from the inner sect as well?" the only girl of the four, a graceful girl, suggested softly.

The black-clad man smiled bitterly. "It is easy to say that. We are aiming to kill a peak Rank 8 Spirit Beast. No matter how many weaklings come, they would only be sending themselves to death. They might even mess things up."

The others thought about what he said and agreed. Just the aura of a peak Rank 8 Spirit Beast would scare some people. When the time came, these people might get flustered. If they had to split their attention, to take care of these people, they might as well not have them.

Just at this moment, Chen Xiao thought of someone. He said, "I know a person. Perhaps he can help us. Although his cultivation is low, he has a strong physical body. Furthermore, he has consumed Monarch Blood Grass and would not fear the aura of a peak Rank 8 Spirit Beast."

"Who?"

The other three were all interested and could not help turning to look at Chen Xiao simultaneously. They usually spent their time bitterly cultivating or braving dangers outside. So they did not know much about the inner sect disciples.

"Spirit Gathering Pearls…Spirit Gathering Pearls…I still have too few!" Xiao Chen muttered after collecting his stipend and remuneration.

As the top ranker of the Contribution Ranking, he received one million Superior Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls, and ten Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls.

To Xiao Chen, who had hit a bottleneck, Superior Grade Spirit Stones and Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls would not be of much help. No matter how many of them there were, they would be useless.

Compared to Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls, Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls were much more precious. Not only would these require higher-quality Spirit Stones, but they would also exhaust even more of a Martial Sage's Source Energy.

Regular Martial Sages would not be able to refine Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. Only a Superior Grade Martial Sage or a peak Martial Sage could easily refine Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls.

Superior Grade Martial Sages or peak Martial Sages were the mainstays of a Rank 9 sect. There would not be too many of them in a sect.

After these Martial Sages reached this level, they would not have much time to refine Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. They would spend most of their time comprehending the Dao, to see if they could break through to Martial Emperor before the end of their lifespan.

Their primary duties would be holding down the fort, ensuring the stability of the Supreme Sky Province, and preventing strong Spirit Beasts, loose cultivators, and Demonic Calamities from wreaking havoc.

It would be terrific if these Martial Sages refined a hundred Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls—which would not even be enough to split among the nine true inheritors, not to mention the thousands of inner sect disciples.

From this fact, it was easy to imagine how precious a Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearl was. Trying to buy one with Spirit Stones outside the sect would require paying a sky-high price.
