Chapter 117: Core Level

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Senior Li. What are the benefits and responsibilities of the core?” Another cultivator asked.

Shen Ping sat upright and listened. Li Yin pondered for a moment and looked at Shen Ping and said, “The core treatment is very generous. I believe you had some understanding before you came.” As he spoke, he flipped his palm. Five jade slips floated in the air and landed in front of Shen Ping and the others. “There’s a detailed introduction in this jade slip. You can read it seriously during your break later. Now, let me briefly explain it to you.”

Li Yin said seriously, “The True Treasure Pavilion spans the five continents and four seas and is rich in resources. As the core level, although your cultivation level is still low, your status in the True Treasure Pavilion is not inferior to the Golden Core elders of the various bases. Therefore, the annual contribution treatment will be given according to the Golden Core elder level.”

As soon as he said this, Shen Ping and the other three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators revealed shocked expressions.

The strength of the Golden Core elders at the bases of the True Treasure Pavilion was almost at the level of a pseudo Nascent Soul. The annual contribution treatment of such an expert could be imagined.

They had such treatment as soon as they became core members. It was an unexpected surprise! Not to mention anything else, this alone had exceeded their expectations.

Yu Qingling, who was sitting at the far right, had an elegant and calm expression. She knew this a long time ago.

“Second, the right to purchase resources. You can buy all the resources in the treasure vault of the True Treasure Pavilion, such as medicinal pills, rare treasures, Dharma treasures, cultivation techniques, and so on, other than restricted items. They are not limited to contributions.

“As for the third one, it’s more important. As long as you’re a core member whose cultivation level is not at the Nascent Soul Realm, you can apply for a Dao Protector from the headquarters. The Dao Protector’s strength is at the Golden Core Realm and his combat strength is extremely strong. When you reach the Pseudo Nascent Soul realm, this Dao Protector will leave.

“Fourth, you can take any flying s.h.i.+p that comes and goes from the True Treasure Pavilion. If necessary, you can use the flying s.h.i.+p level within your authority.

“The last one,” Li Yin smiled and his gaze landed on the arms of Shen Ping and the others. “The different forms of strange beast patterns you obtained after pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment are the greatest treatment. When you return here again, you will understand the meaning of my words.”

After saying the simple five-point treatment, Shen Ping was dumbfounded. The other three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were the same. This core treatment was too generous. They even felt surreal.

Yu Qingling suddenly blinked her lively eyes. “Senior Li, the core level is divided into A, B, C, and D. Which kind of core jade token did we obtain?”

Shen Ping and the others came back to their senses and looked at each other. They could see the confusion and helplessness in each other’s eyes. There were actually four levels of this core.

What an eye-opener.

Li Yin laughed. “Qingling, your father really tells you everything. That’s right. There are also differences in the core level. Every treatment is different, and anyone who has just pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment is a D-rank. A-rank is the highest treatment.”

Yu Qingling asked again, “Then how do I advance to the other levels?”

Li Yin smiled and shook his head. “You’ll naturally know when you come here again. Even if I tell you now, you won’t understand.” He picked up the spiritual tea again and finished it in one go. “Are there any other doubts?”

The three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators did not say anything else. Yu Qingling didn’t ask. Li Yin looked at Shen Ping and said gently, “If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

“Senior Li.” Shen Ping cupped his hands and asked the question in his heart, “The core treatment of the True Treasure Pavilion is indeed generous, but I’m a little confused. Our cultivation levels are not high. Although we’re quite talented in terms of skills, it’s unknown if we can grow up in the future. Why is the True Treasure Pavilion willing to spend so many resources to nurture us?”

Hearing this, Li Yin did not reply directly. Instead, he asked, “What do you think?”

Shen Ping shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Li Yin looked at Yu Qingling.

“Talent, potential.”

The other three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators also said that they had potential. One of them even added that they might have other responsibilities in the future.

“I don’t know either.” Li Yin smiled and replied.

Shen Ping was stunned.

“It’s a big world.” Li Yin sighed faintly, then stood up and took a few steps in the room. He continued, “Even someone at my level can’t understand it. The status and authority of the True Treasure Pavilion are related to everything. If you want to know more, you can only constantly improve yourself. When your status and strength reach a certain level, you will understand everything.

“At least I can’t give you an answer right now. Are there any other doubts?”

Shen Ping hurriedly said, “No.”

The other cultivators also shook their heads.

Seeing this, Li Yin instructed them, “Wait here. There will be cultivators in charge of your subsequent arrangements later. Of course, if you have any doubts, you can ask me through the communication jade.”

He left five communication jades behind and left. Only Shen Ping, Yu Qingling, and the others were left in the room. The atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed. After all, they were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Although there was a difference in strength and realm, as partic.i.p.ants of the same batch, they should help each other.

“Beiyu Continent, White Light Cave, Chen Zhou.”

“Dongqian Continent, Golden Crow Cave, Lin Zhifeng.”

“Beiyu Continent, Misty Snake Cave, Zhou Can.”

“Yu Qingling of the Zhongsheng Continent.”

The three late Foundation Establishment cultivators came to a realization.

“Fellow Daoist Yu actually came from the Zhongsheng Continent. You’re really extraordinary!”

“That’s right. The headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion is in the Zhongsheng Continent.”

“The Zhongsheng Continent has always been the core of the five continents and four seas. Other than the True Treasure Pavilion, there are also top sects located there. There are endless prodigies.”

Yu Qingling paid no attention to these three cultivators. Her lively eyes looked at Shen Ping, and the corners of her mouth asked curiously, “Fellow Daoist Shen, may I know where you’re from?”

Shen Ping looked embarra.s.sed. He only knew that there were five continents and four seas in this cultivation world, but he did not know which continent the Wei Kingdom was located in at all. No one had ever told him this general knowledge.

Before he came, Deacon Xia did not reveal it either.

The True Treasure Pavilion had geography books on the five continents and four seas. He had occasionally flipped through them, but the Wei Kingdom did not specify which continent, cave, or region it belonged to.

Yu Qingling snickered in her heart, and she thought to herself, So even a Talisman Master like you can be embarra.s.sed! Her elegant and quiet face was quite serious. “Fellow Daoist Shen, why don’t you take a look at your core jade token? It should have records.”

Shen Ping was stunned. “In the jade token?”

He did not see it on the qualification jade token. He suppressed the doubts in his heart. He hurriedly took out the core jade token and scanned it with his divine sense. Immediately, information surged out.

Southern Flame Continent. The Fire Toad Cave. Behind it was a series of geographical areas. Only at the end did the base of the twelve countries, the Wei Kingdom, appear.

His face twitched. Originally, he had always felt that the Wei Kingdom’s territory was quite large. In the cultivation world, even if it was not a rich area, it would not be a small place with poor resources.

But now he knew.

This f*cking Wei Kingdom was actually so small that the geography books could not even be bothered to record it!

“Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Yu. I’m Shen Ping from the Fire Toad Cave in the Southern Flame Continent.”

After getting to know each other, everyone felt that their relations.h.i.+p had become closer.

The three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lin, Zhou, and Chen, talked about cultivation comprehension and communication. From time to time, they would pull Shen Ping along to say a few words.

As for Yu Qingling, she sat there without saying anything. She would only reply when a cultivator asked.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the young cultivator who had been leading them into the quiet room during the a.s.sessment appeared. He smiled and said, “The residences of the five Fellow Daoists have been arranged. Please follow me.”

He walked along a corridor on the left side of the room.

Not long after, Shen Ping and the others arrived at the hall.

The young cultivator said, “Fellow Daoists, you can choose a quiet room to rest in. You will stay here for half a month. During this period of time, you will mainly familiarize yourself with the use of the core jade token. In addition, the True Treasure Pavilion will arrange a Dao Protector for you during this period. At that time, you can see it directly on the core jade token.

“Also, if the five of you want to communicate, just knock on the wall of the quiet room. The other party only needs to reply with the same knock to communicate.”

After the young man left, Cultivators Chen, Zhou, and Lin chose a similar quiet room. As for Shen Ping and Yu Qingling, they could only walk towards the remaining two rooms. The furnis.h.i.+ngs in the quiet room looked like an ordinary house.

Shen Ping finished sizing it up. Just as he was about to sit cross-legged on the futon and read the jade slip, three knocks came from the quiet room next door..
