He replied calmly,
"Senior brother you jest, my master told us to return as soon as possible. He wants to beat us so that we can stay away from the bad guys."
Hearing this the leading youth narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone,
"Junior brother, Elder Yu is really a caring elder. But you can interact with us. We will give elder Yu an explanation."
Bai Yue said mockingly,
"Senior brother, you really know how to joke. My master doesn't even put the other star peak masters in his eyes, do you think that he will care for your explanation?"
The youth was speechless. He felt that talking to this youth will snap his gentle image. Finally he said coldly,
"Junior brother, although you have the ability to fight against those above your realm, we are not ordinary disciples. So, it would be better if you keep your arrogance to yourself.
My name is…"
Bai Yue interrupted him with a smile,
"Senior brother, I never asked about your name. So, why are you so interested in telling me your name?
At first, I thought that you would be smart and took a hint from what I just said. But it seems that you are a bit foolish.
I said those words because I am also like that. Since my master didn't put others in his eyes I also don't put anyone in my eyes.
So, don't waste our time. Unlike you we are not that free."
After saying this he ignored them completely and left with Kui An towards the resource pavilion.
Looking at the departing figures of Bai Yue and Kui An. The senior disciple was seething with anger. At first, he wanted to get close to that little rascal and wanted to see his proper appearance but that beast didn't put him in his eyes at all.
He thought to himself,
"Bastard, you just wait. Besides the sect and the royal family there are many other affiliated families whom you can't provoke.
Just leave this sect and I'll show you your true place.'
Behind him the disciples joined him,
"Senior brother, he is too arrogant."
"Yes, senior brother. Just ignore him. In the competition we can deal with him."
Hearing these flatterings his mood calmed down and he said with a smile,
"Junior brothers, let's visit the culinary hall of our sect and have an enjoyment for you all. That junior brother is just too ignorant.
As you said, in the competition we will show him."
After saying this they all departed in different directions.
___________________
After half an hour both Bai Yue and Kui An arrived in front of an old 7 floored pagoda.
In front of this pagoda, a large board was hanging. On it was written,
"Treasure and Resource Pavilion."
Kui An was excited and she said,
"Big brother, let's go and see what is inside this pavilion."
Bai Yue nodded and followed her.
After entering they encountered a disciple with a white dress on the main reception. That disciple looked at them and said,
"You might be our new junior brother and sister."
Kui An was surprised and she asked,
"Senior brother, how did you know?"
The youth looked at her and laughed,
"Junior sister, let me first introduce myself. My name is Miko.
And you didn't wear the sect uniforms, which means that either you are a core disciple or a new disciple."
Kui An realised.
Muko continued,
"Junior sister, you both can travel till the third floor of this pagoda and take anything you like as long as you have enough contribution."
After saying this he took out a token and passed them.
Bai Yue took it and he left with Kui An to watch the treasures.
They first entered the first floor. On the first floor there are many treasures. Since this floor is mostly for the core realm beginners.
Kui An and Bai Yue looked at the various treasures.
"Snow Lotus-1000 contribution points."
"Star Wolf blood essence-1000 contribution points."
"Star Jade -2000 contribution points."
"Star Sprint. Star Grass. Fiery Sun Seed. Light Star Mist."
There were many treasures that were here.
Kui An said,
"Big brother, there are many treasures but they are not useful to us. Most of them are related to the half step core realm to build a perfect foundation for the next breakthrough."
Bai Yue nodded and he scanned the treasures. He suddenly spotted a strange pearl.
"Mysterious Star Pearl- 2,900 contribution points."
"Used to repair the foundation and stop the cultivation deviation. Can be used by anyone below the core realm."
Bai Yue didn't hesitate and he bought this pearl in the token given by Mike.
After this he said Kui An,
"Little sister, let's go to the second floor, there is nothing more interesting on this floor."
Kui An nodded and they left for the second floor.
Unlike the first floor which was filled with treasures with almost no one there. The second floor has few treasures compared to the first floor and most of the disciples are also on this floor.
They started looking at the treasures and there were many that caught the eyes of Kui An and Bai Yue.
Kui An said,
"Big brother, you can pick any treasure you want. Since I am going to start anew, this doesn't matter to me."
Bai Yue shook his head and replied,
"Still you need treasures to keep your foundation stable and without any hidden damages. Heaven and Earth treasure are the best doctors for that."
Kui An suddenly realised and she said,
"So you bought that pearl for me."
Bai Yue nodded. He suddenly spotted a fruit.
Both of them visited the fruit.
"Star Essence Fruit- 7200 contribution points.
A fruit which is produced on the Star Tree every 5 years. Main use is to comprehend the Star Essence. Can be used by those below the core realm.
A mortal can use this to gain insights on the stars."
Bai Yue took this fruit. Bai Yue now has become a curious item in the eyes of disciples. They recognised him at a glance because many of the new disciples were present in the disciple recruitment competition.
They whispered to each other but Bai Yue ignored them, he took Kui An and looked at the other treasures. He spotted one or two more which are mostly used for foundation repairing and healing injuries.
Just as Kui An was preparing to go to the third floor, Bai Yue stopped her.
"Little sister, we are not going to the third floor. There are many bugs who want to pester us.
Besides that, we already have what we need so there is no need to go to the third floor.
We can go in the future. And don't forget that we have limited time."
Kui An nodded thoughtfully and agreed with him.
They both soon returned to the bottom of the pagoda where Miko was doing his duty.
"Big brother, why is that guy in this place instead of some elders?"
Kui An asked. Bai Yue replied,
"Because they are the contribution points for them."
Kui An suddenly realised. They arrived at the counter and Bai Yue returned Miko the tablet.
Miko took the tablet and he took out all the treasures, counted the points and he said,
"Junior brother, you have to pay 27,600 contribution points.
Mysterious Star Pearl worth 2,900 contribution points,
Star Essence Fruit worth 7200 contribution points,
Star Tree Seed worth 8000 contribution points and
Jade Star Cushion worth 9,500 contribution points."
Bai Yue nodded and he took out his disciple token and handed it to Miko.
Muko took it. After a moment he handed him the disciple token and said,
"Junior brother, here. You have now 2,400 contribution points left."
Bai Yue took it and left with Kui An.
Looking at their backs, Miko muttered,
"This junior brother is too beautiful. Despite being a male he gave the aura of being feminine. He is going to be a calamity for many."

"Big brother, you got so many contribution points. I only got 12000."
Bai Yue said with a smile,
"Little sister, don't forget that I killed two royal family members. They used our sect's resources and then they pointed their fingers at us."
Kui An was enlightened and said brightly,
"So, if I were to kill the royal family members just like you in the future, I'll also get contribution points."
Bai Yue was speechless but he didn't reply and simply took her in the direction of the Scripture Pavilion.
It took them only 5 minutes to reach there. But they choose the Task Hall first.
