The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After entering the sect Rein found that Hu Mao himself had come to welcome Rein. He was not alone though as another old gentleman was beside him. After seeing Rein his eyes lit up and he became very happy. Then he introduced himself as the current master of the Divine Scale Pavillion, Iska.

Seeing him Rein immediately noticed that his skin had a luster to it just like his own and understood that the sect leader also had the skill Steel Scale just like him. As for his strength, Rein would not be able to defeat him just using his Steel Scale skill. If he went all out with his furnace body then he would have a chance to defeat him but the risk would still be very high.

Only if Rein could activate his Rain Gain skill, he would have one hundred percent confidence in defeating him but without that massive boost, it would be very hard for him to defeat this person. Fortunately for the time being, Rein did not have to worry about becoming an enemy with this man.

Rein was given a grand welcome and was taken to his residence inside the sect. There were quite a few options for Rein to choose and he ended up choosing a villa in a quiet part of the sect just beside a small forest and a river. It was a large villa so he and Lan would have no trouble living in it. Rein would also be able to take in other servants in future if he ever needed to.

After deciding on his house, Rein alone was taken to the library of the sect. As for Lan, the girl named Himiko who was guarding Rein took her to the house. She was assigned to be his guard again and so she would also be living with the two of them.

...

Inside the library Rein found a lot of books and manuscripts that interested him. Looking at the collection that this place had, Rein was sure that his decision to join a sect was correct. Now with this much knowledge in his hand, it would not be hard for him to earn achievement points.

The sect leader and the other elders who had come to check on their new lead core disciple were also happy to see that Rein was so interested in books. In this case he would not stay away from the books and would be able to master the technique faster which was a good thing.

After giving Rein the core cultivation technique, the Vajra Strengthening Art, the sect master left. He was a busy person so it was actually a miracle that he spent so much time with Rein. Another two elders now took the responsibility to guide Rein to the other facilities of the sect.

Other than the library there were quite a few other buildings which were very important for the sect. They were the alchemy pavilion, the mission pavilion, the training pavilion, the teaching pavilion, the forge pavilion and finally the spirit pavilion.

It was very easy to understand what went on in the pavilions just from the names except for the spirit pavilion that turned out to be a place that would boost the cultivation speed. Rein learnt about it after asking one of the accompanying elders.

After learning about all the important places of the sect, he decided to return to his house and to go through the books. The elders again tried to escort him but Rein separated from them by saying that he was planning to learn more about his fellow disciple by taking a walk through the sect alone, so the elders decided to give him the free time.

Obviously one of the powerful elders would be keeping an eye on Rein from a distance to make sure that Rein did not face any harm.

...

After separating from the elders Rein started to take a stroll around the sect. He had just entered the sect and was going to stay here for a long time, so it was important for him to learn more about it. On his way he came across a market that the disciples were running by themselves. This was one of the interesting places that Rein was told about so he came to check it out.

Money was usable inside the sect but there was another type of currency which could also be used. It was called contribution tokens. For the sect disciples they needed to use contribution points to get various materials from the sect and to use the facilities that the sect had to offer. So the value of contribution points was very high.

After entering the sect Rein was given a one time welcoming gift of 10,000 contribution points, so currently he had 100 golden tokens representing that. From now on he would also get 1000 contribution points every month so there was very little need for his to worry about running out of contribution points. And he was able to use most of the facilities for free anyways.

So Rein decided to use his contribution points mostly to buy things from other disciples. For that reason he was quite interested in checking what the disciples were selling. If he could find something useful then that would be great.

Rein started to check what was getting sold in the shops. Most of the things were low grade items but there were a few high grade ones here and there. But Rein was not interested in them as he could get better things than them if hw asked the elders or just go out hunting himself.

But soon he found something that was interesting. One of the shops was selling some old items that he had managed to find inside a ruin. There were quite a few ruins present in this world. Some of them had nothing in it while on the other hand some of the ruins were filled with valuable treasures.

Rein had only come across two ruins in his journey and unfortunately those ruins had nothing too interesting. One of them did have a few books but they were actually just records about the daily operations of a sect that had turned into a ruin now. So Rein was not very interested in them.

The items this person was selling also looked very unimpressive and old. That was the main reason why he was unable to sell anything even though these items were from a famous ruin. The only reason why Rein was interested in them was because his intuition told him that there was one item that would be useful to him.

Currently Rein did not have his Eye of Truth so he was unable to analyse an item quickly and would need some time. But just standing in front of a shop for so long was also not a good idea. So Rein decided to buy everything that this man was selling.

The man was a bit surprised when Rein bought everything from him. But after seeing the golden contribution token that he took out, he had no complaint about it and happily gave Rein all the items he was selling. All of them actually only cost 70 contribution points. But the seller was also happy because he would be able to buy the pill he needed with this. So everyone was happy with this transaction.
