"You have 1,000 contribution points? That's ridiculous!" The sect elder exclaimed in a loud voice, causing everybody there to look at them with a curious gaze

Meanwhile, Min Li watched Yuan from the corner of the building like a partner watching their children's first shopping experience.

'1,000 contribution points… even I only got 100 contribution points for joining the sect… why is there such a big disparity between the two of us?' Min Li pondered to herself as she continued trying to unveil Yuan's mysterious ident.i.ty and seemingly unfathomable background.

"Since you claim to have 1,000 contribution points, let me see your identification token." The sect elder extended his arm with his hands open and his fingers gesturing to give it to him.

Yuan nodded and handed the sect elder his identification token without hesitation.

Once the identification token was in his hands, the sect elder used his spiritual energy to peek inside the token, and Yuan's identification appeared.

'Heavens! This Outer Court disciple has a gold identification token! And he really has 1,000 contribution points!' The sect elder cried inwardly after confirming that Yuan was not lying about his contribution points.

The sect elder swallowed nervously before turning to look at Yuan with a different kind of light in his eyes and with a respectful gaze.

There existed four grades of identification tokens in the Dragon Essence Temple. Bronze-grade, silver-grade, gold-grade, and finally, dragon-grade tokens.

Every grade of identification represented the importance of whoever held that token. For example, if a disciple has a bronze identification token, that person was an ordinary disciple without any impressive backgrounds.

Meanwhile, those with silver identification tokens are people with decent backings or have impressive talents.

As for those with a gold identification token, only those who come from prominent or powerful families such as the Seven Legacy Families are qualified to obtain one.

For the dragon identification token, only the Sect Masters or high-ranking elders are allowed to have it.

However, this ranking applied to not just disciples but to sect elders too, and in this case, the sect elder speaking with Yuan right now was only a bronze identification token holder! In other words, he was below Yuan in terms of status!

"T-Thank you, Disciple Yuan. I-I have confirmed your contribution points. Please give me a few moments to bring you the cultivation techniques specialized for dagger users…" The sect elder spoke to Yuan in a respectful and humble tone, dumbfounding the people that had been watching them.

"Does that Outer Court disciple really have 1,000 contribution points? I cannot imagine what he must have gone through in order to collect so many contribution points!"

"You can obtain any cultivation technique you want from this place with that many contribution points! I envy him!"

The disciples began mumbling to each other about Yuan.

A few minutes later, the sect elder helping Yuan returned to the desk with over a dozen martial techniques that are best suited for daggers.

"Thank you for your patience, Disciple Yuan. I have brought pretty much every technique suitable for daggers from the back with me, and they are mostly Mortal-rank with a few exceptions at the Earth-rank. Please take your time looking through them," said the sect elder with a humble look on his face, dumbfounding Min Li and the other disciples, as it was an incredibly weird feeling to see a sect elder acting so humble before an Outer Court disciple who didn't have any reputation.

Yuan proceeded to look through the techniques one by one without reading the contents inside, as he was afraid of learning them by accident.

'Poison Stab… Night's Edge… Exploding Dagger… Zealous Piercer…'

Yuan spent the next few minutes reading the techniques' names and their description.

"Hmm? This is…"

Yuan looked at the last martial technique in the stack with an intrigued look on his face.

"Flying Daggers… Mortal-rank."

Even though the technique was only a Mortal-rank technique, the word 'flying' had instantly attracted his attention.

"It looks like you are interested in the Flying Dagger technique, Disciple Yuan. Although it's only a Mortal-rank technique, if mastered, you'll be able to defeat your opponents from a distance even with a weapon known for its short-range such as the dagger!" The sect elder said to him after seeing his intrigued face.

"How many contribution points for this technique? I want it," said Yuan, as the idea of defeating his enemies from afar sounded very cool to him.

"That technique would set you back 75 contribution points, Disciple Yuan," said the sect elder.

"Only 75 contribution points? That's very cheap! I'll take it!" Yuan said with a pleasantly surprised look on his face.

"Very cheap?" The sect elder's eyebrows twitched after hearing his words.

Although 75 contribution points may seem like nothing when he has 1,000 contribution points to spare, it would take a normal disciple almost an entire year to obtain!

"I understand. You want the Flying Dagger technique, right? I'll subtract it from your 1,000 contribution points now."

A few moments later, the sect elder handed the gold identification token back to Yuan.

"Good luck with the technique, Disciple Yuan."

"Thank you," Yuan nodded as he tossed the Flying Dagger technique into his Spatial Ring.

Once he'd gotten his technique, Yuan turned around and prepared to leave, and that was when he noticed Min Li standing in the background.

"Why are you standing there? Aren't you going to get a technique, too?" Yuan asked her.

"No, I am fine. I don't need any techniques," she calmly shook her head.

Yuan was speechless after hearing her words. If she didn't need any techniques then why did she follow him all the way over here, even saying that she planned on coming here?

"Anyway, what are you going to do now that you've gotten a technique? Are you going to the practice field to try out your new technique?" Min Li then asked, dumbfounding Yuan even more with her eccentric behavior.
