Within the Profound Blossom Sect stood the White Pearl Treasury, a grand building housing everything from precious medicines to rare treasures.
Spirit stones, weapons, and valuable resources could all be acquired there, provided one had enough Premium Points.
Premium Points served as the sect's exclusive currency, redeemable only within its grounds. Disciples earned them through meritorious deeds, completing missions, or trading with others, much like real money.
"How much for this Pure yin Flower?" Su Yin asked the elder behind the desk. After realizing her current weakness, she had come to the White Pearl Treasury.
Without a partner for dual cultivation, resources from the sect were her only path to growth, and the treasury offered the finest selection.
"Pure yin Flower? What does an Outer Court disciple like you want with such a valuable medicine?" The elder, a woman with a curious glint in her eyes, replied, "10,000."
"10,000?" Su Yin's brows shot up in disbelief. "The most Premium Points a mission offers is 100, and those are the toughest ones. Yet you're asking 10,000 for a mere Pure yin Flower? This is daylight robbery!"
To Su Yin, the Pure Yang Flower was a low-grade medicine used by mortals, yet the sect priced it like a divine treasure.
"The Matriarch herself set the price," the elder said flatly. "If you have complaints, take them to her. The price is final."
Su Yin glanced at the jade slip in her hand and sighed. "Thirty-four Premium Points… after a year in this place…"
Her eyes wandered to the many handsome young men around her. "I could find a partner… but they're all just kids, barely wet behind the ears."
Though Su Yin inhabited the body of a 16-year-old, her mind was far older. The thought of engaging in dual cultivation with youths not even half her true age felt wrong, despite cultivators often living thousands of years while retaining youthful appearances.
"So, do you want it or not?" the elder asked impatiently, already assuming Su Yin, a mere Outer Court disciple, lacked the points. Even Inner Court disciples would struggle to amass 10,000.
"I want it," Su Yin said, stunning the elder. "But not now. I'll return in ten days with enough Premium Points to claim it."
"You… how will you manage that?" the elder asked, eyes wide.
Su Yin only smiled and walked away without answering, leaving the elder fuming, veins pulsing on her forehead.
After leaving the White Pearl Treasury, Su Yin gathered a large piece of cloth and a brush to write with. She then headed to the training center, a bustling hub of disciples day and night, and stood in the open, unfurling her cloth—now a sign—for all to see.
Heavenly Massage – Experience what it feels like to be in heaven! First three customers free of charge!
"Heavenly massage? Isn't that Su Yin? What nonsense is she up to now?" a disciple scoffed.
"Experience heaven? Hah! She just wants to grope some men!" another laughed.
"Damn, she's getting desperate!" a third jeered.
Laughter erupted around her, but Su Yin stood silently, her expression calm as the mockery filled the air.
"This takes me back…" she thought, recalling her past life when she stood in streets for days with a similar sign, offering her skills to passersby.
Hours passed with no one approaching, but eventually, a group of disciples sauntered over, more for amusement than interest.
"Hey, Su Yin, what in the devil's name are you doing?" one asked.
"We all know you're just trying to touch men since you can't find a partner," another sneered.
"To come up with such a shameless plan—how low can you get?" a third added.
Despite their taunts, Su Yin remained still, eyes closed, as if asleep.
"Hey, listen when we're talking, you shameless wretch!" one disciple snapped, raising his fist.
Su Yin's eyes snapped open, a dangerous glint flashing within. "Stand aside, brat. I have a customer," she said, stunning the group.
They turned to see a handsome young man standing nearby, arms crossed, his gaze heavy with suspicion.
"What kind of massage?" he asked aggressively.
"The kind that'll make your back pain vanish," Su Yin replied.
The young man's eyes widened. "How… how did you know I have back pain?"
Su Yin didn't answer, merely glancing at her sign with a faint smile.
