"Crystal Cabbage? What is that?" Zhang Wu Ji continues with his ignorance.
Listening to him, Liu Xin Xin feels like she's on the verge of erupting. She exhaled a deep breath that she's been holding for too long, and begin to answer his question.
"The Heaven Point can only be obtained by completing a difficult mission or bet against a fellow disciple in a fair competition. The Heaven Point can also be used as a form of appreciation to a disciple."
"Of course, this also means that the Heaven Point available for distribution of reward is limited. You must remember that the Heaven Points works on both Disciples and Elders, and this is why it was considered precious."
"In an example, you managed to get 2 Heaven Points from the Mission Hall because your results are too outstanding. But this means that the Mission Hall's Quota of this year's reward deducted by two points."
"Each department are only allocated with a few hundred worths of Heaven Points to be rewarded to excellent disciples. The better they perform, the better their department is treated as well." Liu Xin Xin explained how the Heaven Point System works inside the sect.
"I see... If I go hunt for another group of Yin Poison Skeletons, do you think that the Mission Hall will reward me with two more points?" he asked without considering enough.
"You may get, or you won't. Don't you think that after you get some Heaven Points for that result, others won't follow in your footsteps? In my opinion, the Outer Area of the King's Graveyard must be crowded with disciples now." Liu Xin Xin answered.
"Oh... How can I get the points now..." the difficulties to get more points is bothering him. And as the person sitting just beside him, Liu Xin Xin caught his troubled mind.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I need the points to exchange for a session of leniency to my master." Zhang Wu Ji answered her question honestly.
"Your master? I'm still questioned with something. Do you mind sharing with me about the place you comes from?" Liu Xin Xin asked. After knowing that his intention to get more points is to plea for a session of leniency for his master, her opinion against him is much better.
"Of course!" he replied. After this exchange, Liu Xin Xin understands more about Zhang Wu Ji's background and also all he has gone through until now to be taken as a disciple of the Seven Heaven Sect.
But the most surprising stuff about him is that he's currently the owner and so-called Hall Master of the Seven Star Master Hall. Won't this status alone means he's at least a rank or two above her and her Liu Family?
"Father's insight is so much better than me to be able to see through some of his potential with a simple Pickaxe. It will be good for me to have a better relationship with him as it will be beneficial to me as well." Liu Xin Xin thought.
"I will help you to look for a way to get more contribution points. Give me two days," she said.
"Then Wu Ji will rely on senior sister's help. Please accept this High-Grade Fool Silver Ingot as a gift for now." Zhang Wu Ji took one of the Silver Ingots in his hand and presented them to her.
"High-Grade Silver Ingot! His skill is already at this level?" the existence of this piece of metal surprised her. How many have past from the day she saw him for the first time?
"To forge a High-Grade metal in sixteen days..." she feels an urge to laugh at herself and her pitiful talents. If it's her, won't she get all the attention from her family?
"If there's nothing else, please forgive Wu Ji to excuse himself first. I'll see you at the Material Market two days later." Zhang Wu Ji said and left the residence.
"Mortal Flame source to be used at any time. The treatment is pretty good to a disciple in First Heaven Mountain. I wonder if I managed to get into the Seventh Heaven Mountain, what kind of resources will be provided." Zhang Wu Ji felt a hint of jealousy brewing in his mind.
"Should I challenge one of the top ten and get their residence?" Zhang Wu Ji considered his option. But soon, the idea is thrown aside when he's inside his residence.
"New residence or not, that's fine with me. Time for more practice." Zhang Wu Ji calmed himself and started to continue with his cultivation. With about two hundred sets of the Low-Quality Body Tempering Powder, it is enough for him to force his body to form (100) Defensive Points.
He did not waste his time and started his Body Tempering Process along with the activation of the Compassionate Zone. At the beginning of the usage of Body Tempering Powder, it was a torturing process.
Each part of the Body Tempering Powder caused the water to become a solution worst than Sulfuric Acid that will melt his skin and flesh. Of course, this is what a cultivator felt when they soaked themselves in this volatile ingredient.
But in fact, it wasn't that destructive towards the cultivator's body. The torturing process happened because of the existence of Inner Qi, where it becomes a catalyst for the ingredient to becoming volatile and destructive.
Two days later, after all the torturing process, Zhang Wu Ji's physical body looks like they went through a layer of the hammering process, and quenched with Natural Energy to increase its durability.
Adding up with his previous conversion results, the effort of his two days are equals to (200) Defensive Points, where it was equivalent to 2% achievement of his Qingyang Fortress Body.
If only 2% worth of Achievement made him look like now, how amazing will that be if he successfully cultivates it into a complete Qingyang Fortress Body? And the best of all about all this training is the number of Fighter Qi inside his body is now different from how it was.
From a merely 1 strand of Warrior Qi, or equivalent to 1,000 Fighter Qi, he's now at 4,500 Fighter Qi in cultivation strength!
Although it was just a mere 4 strands of Warrior Qi, at the end of the day, Warrior Qi is still Warrior Qi, not something that a Fighter Qi can compete with. Even a thousand strand of Fighter Qi is in used to fight against a strand of Warrior Qi, they weren't an equal at all.
Still, the path for him to enter the 12th Stage of Inner Qi Warrior is too far from him. Without the ability to harness Natural Energy like those still in Fighter Tier, no matter how many Manuals in his hand is pointless.
But instead of turning into despair, it becomes a hope to Zhang Wu Ji. It is because he's now able to cultivate. Although the previous increment without putting too many efforts is very helpful, the exchange for this shortcut turned into his weaknesses in building a proper foundation.
In his mind, nothing is free in this world.
The next day, he headed into the Material Hall as usual. Entering the Material Hall, the first person to greets at him is Zheng Kai. After he exchanged a few words with this senior, Zhang Wu Ji went past Cheng Hao Ran and Ma You Yuan's stall until he reaches Liu Xin Xin's spot.
"Wu Ji greets Senior sister." Zhang Wu Ji bowed at the lady when he arrived.
"Em," she replied.
"I've asked around the staff and elders. It seems that the best way to earn the Heaven Point is either to contribute in the preparation of Master Mo's Warrior-Tier Crossbows, Hunting for the Molten Flame Lions, and helping Master Jiang Lei to refine a Metal Puppet." Liu Xin Xin speaks.
"I'll take all three. Senior sister, thank you for helping me in all these matters." Zhang Wu Ji stated that he will accept all of them without hesitation.
"Wait! Wait!" Liu Xin Xin yelled at him to stop him from leaving in a hurry.
"Each of the Mission I mentioned is all 9-star Mission! What do you mean by taking all of them?" she bellowed.
"Is there a problem to take 9-star Mission? Can senior sister explain?" Zhang Wu Ji is puzzled with why she was angered.
"First, the Warrior-Tier Crossbows. Your task is to create their limbs, barrels, mechanical parts, and many other essential parts. All of them is for military use, which means it has to be made precisely! You have to be a Celestial Designer to take this task!" she said.
"I am a Celestial Designer." Zhang Wu Ji answered.
"Fine! The second Mission, hunting for Molten Flame Lions. They're the 15th Stage Inner Qi Warrior Wild Beast! How strong... oh..." she stopped in between of her question after thinking about Zhang Wu Ji's fighting strength against the monsters in the King's Graveyard.
"Anyway, third Mission. Do you know what is Metal Puppet?" she asked. After considering that Zhang Wu Ji does possess the ability to complete the two previous Missions, she turned into the third one.
"No idea," he answered without even thinking about it.
"Piang... Aargh! My legs!" the answer stunned the people around them, and even one of the disciple dropped the treasure in his hand to the seller's leg.
"A Metal Puppet is a Sentient Mobile Forge. They can replace the needs of its owner according to the situation, and of course, in battle as well." Liu Xin Xin starts explaining.
"The process to forge a Metal Puppet requires one to possess not only resources but skills and creativity. Unlike Spirit-Grade tool that houses a spirit, the Metal Puppet refines them into a Metal Soul. As the owner grows, the Metal Soul grows as well."
"What Master Jiang Lei wanted to forge is a Metal Puppet with good refining ability that can help him in preparing high-quality materials. If you think that you can do it, then go ahead and try." Liu Xin Xin is inexperienced about the matter with Metal Puppet and can only give him simple instructions.
"Thank you, senior sister, for the help and instructions. Wu Ji will leave now." he cupped his hands together and left without a word.
A few minutes after Zhang Wu Ji left...
"Ah! I forget about his direction challenged situation! The Molten Flame Lion resides in Maze Forest outside of Seven Heaven Sect. Won't he get lost in there forever if he got nobody to direct him?" she remembered something.
"I'm not going to be bothered with this stupid guy." she pouted and turned around.

"Disciple Zhang Wu Ji, please make sure you start with Master Jiang Lei's Mission first. This one is more urgent than the other two missions." the female receptionist informed him about the arrangement of urgency.
"Understood." Zhang Wu Ji answers and left to the Weapon Hall, where one can purchase, order, craft, and request for an armament. The moment he entered, he was greeted with a few male staff inside of the Hall and was escorted into an underground forge to wait.
Inside here, he saw a Skeletal Frame made from a different mixture of silver metal supported by a tool stand. Out of curiosity, he went forward and started to inspect the item.
Trash Puppet
Information: A failure of Metal Puppet. This creation is incompetent to be processed by the UPGRADE System.
"What?" Zhang Wu Ji was shocked by how his system evaluates this piece of trash. Without wasting his time, Zhang Wu Ji went over to a different table used to tighten the drawing plan and inspect the blueprint.
"Now I know why Master Jiang Lei failed to forge the Metal Puppet..." Zhang Wu Ji shakes his head out of disappointment.
[Incomplete Metal Puppet Blueprint]
"With this incomplete blueprint, even if he put ten more years it will still fail!" Zhang Wu Ji bellowed.
"What did you say?" the voice of an angered elder came into the room as he steps down from the stairs.
