Gu yin look at the pitiful 71 points in her bracelet with frown, from what she gathered everyone received points based on their performance in the test.
The highest number of points one can receive is hundred, while the point she received aren't low they didn't meet her expectations at all.
She look at the tray of food which she had brought from the dinning hall and eating there, each tray of food cost five points. In other words, one had to spend 15 points everyday just on food.
The tray consist of one bowl of rice, one bowl of vegetables soup and some pickled vegetables all of them contain some amount of qi in it.
Such, food aid in their cultivation along with filling there stomach, but with the amount points she had she can bearly survive four days with three meal and skipping is all not an option.
So, in the end she arrive at the exchange hall with her spirit stone to exchange for food, the teenager greet her with a smile.
This time she's didn't came here alone but with Gu sister's, specially Gu Xiao who can help them with the shopping.
"Hello, junior sister's, what I can get you" the teenager dress up in servant uniform which mean his status is lower then that of outer sect disciple, that why he talk with curtsey.
Gu Xiao "senior brother, can you tell us the prices of food here" the teenager nodded his head enthusiastically.
"Of course, I can. But you, do know about your points right" they nodded their head so the teenager told them about the prices.
10 pound of cloud rice for one low-rank spirit stone, one tray of spirit egg consists of 10 egg also cost one spirit stone, a large jar of pickled vegetables cost one spirit stone, a bottle of spirit honey consist of 50 gram low-level 9th grade honey cost two spirit stone, beast meat half pound also cost two spirit stone.
5 pound of cloud flour fost one spirit stone, condiments consists of oil, salt, sugar, chilly cost another spirit root, if one want raw vegetables they are sold 10 pound per spirit stone of any kind.
Everyone hurdle together trying to think what they should buy, cloud rice can't be ignored, neither pickled vegetables, condiments can be optional, cloud flour can also be brough to make pancakes or noddle.
In the end everyone brought 10 pound of cloud rice, jar of pickled vegetables, box of condiments each type consists of 100 gram, they also brough cloud flour, all totalling up to 4 spirit stone.
But Gu yin also brought the spirit honey for consumption and tray of egg spending 6 spirit stone for everything, which made everyone frown but no one said anything.
Looking at the remaining 4 spirit stone in the bag Gu yin frown as she calculate her month expenses.
She's not very sure that all this stuff can last her up for one month, so she had to be very careful with her spending.
Luckily she have whole year to save up some spirit stone, cause once she had start doing any course they will surely cost her money without any doubt.
She went back to her room and made herself bowl of rice, eat them with pickled vegetables and the fried egg.
After eating eating her dinner she take out the qi sensing pill and eat it, as the pill enter the stomach and melt.
The previous dark vision was instantly filled with beautiful bright white ball of qi, they feel like being surrounded by stars.
She try her beast to call those ball toward herself following the breathing techniques but failed, this vision only last for ten minutes before turning dark once again.
She open her eyes and try to focus on the feeling she just had received, once she had gasp the feeling she can sense the qi without the use of pill.
She spend whole night trying to sense the qi but to no bail, so she got up and take a bath, prepared herself some pancake stuffed with pickled vegetables and eat them in silence.
She went to the different learning hall, where a senior taught them how to reach and write, everyone who had previously had no chance of studying were seating inside the room, with serious upright position and listening very attentively.
They aren't the only one here, those kids who enter the sect early and had received very less education also had to attend these classes, after all maximum cultivation manuals are in written form.
If one don't know how to read and write they will be not able to understand anything from the manuals.
So, even the previously lazy kids who don't like to study had to put their focus in the classes and learn everything.
Gu yin, also decide to study with others after all the character here used are ancient one then what she use in her previous life.
So, she also had to start from the beginning, they spend few hours in the class, before moving in the darma hall.
Since, kids can't cultivate inside their room cause of fear that other will purposely disturb them and put them in risk of qi devastation.
They all came in this hall where they can ask and receive guidance from the elder, without any fear of anyone.
Everyone seat cross legged trying to use the breathing techniques to calm down their mind and enter the mediative state.
Soon, the grumbling of stomach made them leave the hall and eat there lunch she cook her own lunch and eat in the room, then went back in the darma room.
When the night fall, she message her tired legs from seating in same position for hours and cook herself dinner.
Then once again put her focus on the cultivation without any distraction, her empty room is blessing in disguise for her.
As she can cultivate inside her room freely without any worry, she spend her half night cultivating and the other half sleeping peacefully without any worry of future.
