Chapter 44 – Searching for the Xuantian Token

The climate had entered deep winter, and from time to time, heavy snowflakes would drift down from the sky, casting a layer of enchanting color over the Xuantian Sect.

The servant disciples responsible for cleaning were once again busy.

Li Zhengtong had to leave his cave abode early every day to sweep the snow at Maple Leaf Plaza.

However, Li Zhengtong had already reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refinement, so this small task was effortless for him.

As for Qin Yu's Bright Moon Plaza, it was still under repair.

Two months ago, Qin Yu had taken some time to visit again and added a new line of small characters on the wooden sign.

[Due to the high difficulty of construction, it is expected to take another three months. We apologize for the inconvenience, please take a detour!]

After that, Qin Yu never bothered with it again.

In three months, Qin Yu would become an Outer Sect Disciple.

What would Bright Moon Plaza have to do with him then?

On this day, Qin Yu was in his wooden house calculating his contribution points, feeling extremely melancholic.

"Sigh, my contribution points are almost gone again!"

'Spending money feels great, but being broke is like a crematorium... I can't even afford that!'

'Why hasn't Senior Brother Su Mu returned from the Great Wilderness Country yet? Why isn't the Strength Pill certification ready?'

'Why hasn't Kong Tianjiao come out yet!'

Qin Yu had never missed that man as much as he did today.

'Several months have passed, and with 30 contribution points each month that I can't spend, he must have saved up quite a bit by now!'

The disciples of Beast-Taming Peak are all 'little gold mines'!

'Unfortunately, they won't be out for a few more months!'

"But fortunately, there's an event in the sect today. With my clever mind, I should be able to earn quite a few contribution points."

Qin Yu stretched lazily, loosening his muscles.

In half a month, it would be the Spring Festival of the Liang Kingdom. Although the Xuantian Sect was a cultivation sect, most of its disciples came from the common folk.

Therefore, the Xuantian Sect also kept the tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival.

The sect would host various activities before the festival to let the disciples relax after a busy year.

The sect would also offer various spiritual artifacts and contribution points as rewards to encourage the disciples to participate actively.

Today, there was a large event called "Finding the Xuantian Tokens"!

Though the name was simple, this event was the most popular each year because the rewards were incredibly generous.

Every day, the sect would hide seven Xuantian Tokens in various corners for the disciples to find.

The event lasted for fifteen days, with a total of 105 Xuantian Tokens distributed.

After the event, one token could be exchanged for 100 contribution points, and if someone obtained more than ten tokens, they could receive a spiritual artifact as a reward.

Of course, the disciples weren't searching blindly.

After all, the Xuantian Sect was so vast, and searching like a needle in a haystack would be too difficult.

So the sect would announce seven clues each day, with each clue corresponding to the location of one token.

This was a competition of intelligence and luck.

Qin Yu felt this event was tailor-made for him.

'Who can match my intelligence, and who can match my luck? These contribution points and spiritual artifacts are as good as mine!'

"Yu Ge, ready to go!"

Li Zhengtong called from outside the cave abode; the two had agreed to participate in the event together.

Qin Yu walked out of the cave abode, "Finished sweeping the snow?"

"Yes, all done!"

"Let's go!" Qin Yu waved his hand grandly, "I'll take the lead in this event, you just need to relax!"

The event was held at the Central Plaza next to the marketplace. By the time Qin Yu and Li Zhengtong arrived, the plaza was already packed with people.

Qin Yu sneered, "Arriving early is not as good as running fast, and running fast is not as good as having a quick mind!"

"These are just some easily defeated opponents!"

Li Zhengtong said, "Yu Ge, you're so domineering!"

"Everyone, welcome to the 'Finding the Xuantian Tokens' event. Today is the first day of the event, and we will announce seven clues in total!"

Without any sponsors, the 'host' got straight to the point:

"The first clue: Four sides of lotus, four sides of willow, four sides of mountains reflecting the sky!"

Qin Yu instantly got the answer.

"Yu Ge, it's the Central Heavenly Pool!" Li Zhengtong whispered, "Let's go quickly!"

Qin Yu shook his head, "If you can guess it, how could others not know?"

"Look, so many people are heading towards the Central Heavenly Pool, the competition is fierce!"

"Let's wait a bit longer!"

The host continued, "It seems the first clue was quite simple, as many have guessed it."

"Don't worry if you didn't get it, let's hear the second clue!"

"One mountain, one temple, one red leaf, one lake, one boat, one old monk!"

'A mountain, a temple, a lake, a boat!'

"Yu Ge, it's the Little Mountain Temple!" Li Zhengtong reminded.

Another group of people rushed towards the Little Mountain Temple.

"Yu Ge, the competition seems intense!"

"No rush!" Qin Yu calmly stated, "Usually, these events start with simple clues, getting harder as they go!"

"We'll set out when the right opportunity arises!"

"Alright, Yu Ge!"

"The third clue..."

Another group rushed out!

"The fourth..."

"The fifth..."

"......"

Each clue given led to a large group leaving, yet the plaza remained densely packed, showing no sign of thinning.

'How are there so many people, like threads that never end?'

Starting from the sixth clue, the difficulty suddenly increased.

This time, the clue was only half a sentence, "The river of shadows, fallen leaves reflecting the red sky!"

The crowd in the plaza began whispering among themselves.

"Yu Ge, do you know where this is?"

Li Zhengtong asked Qin Yu, as he could guess the first five, but had no clue about the sixth!

Qin Yu silently recited the given clue: "The river of shadows, fallen leaves reflecting the red sky!"

"A river, leaves, a red sky?"

Qin Yu was momentarily stumped, 'Could there be a special place in the Xuantian Sect where the sky is red? Impossible, if there were such an obvious hint, others would have guessed it already!'

'Qin Yu suddenly noticed the most inconspicuous word, 'reflect'!'

'Reflect means to mirror, to shine back, meaning this 'red sky' isn't the sky being red, but the ground being red.'

"Is there a place in the Xuantian Sect where the ground is red?" Qin Yu asked Li Zhengtong.

Li Zhengtong shook his head, "I don't think so!"

Seeing that Li Zhengtong couldn't provide any help, Qin Yu could only think independently.

'A river, leaves, red... red...'

Qin Yu suddenly thought of a place.

He hurriedly pulled Li Zhengtong away from the Central Plaza, and only after reaching a secluded spot did he say, "Could it be Maple Leaf Plaza?"

"There's a wild river near Maple Leaf Plaza, with fallen leaves, and the maple leaves in autumn are red, which can 'reflect the red sky'!"

Li Zhengtong realized, "Yu Ge, you're so smart!"

"Let's go!"

The two hurriedly made their way to Maple Leaf Plaza.

Shortly after Qin Yu and Li Zhengtong left, more people departed from the plaza.

However, this time, people didn't head in one direction but scattered in all directions.

Clearly, based on the given information, most people found it difficult to pinpoint the exact location.

Everyone's judgments varied, so people were heading to all sorts of places.
