After Bai Xiaowen became a guest elder of the Supreme Clarity Sect, he first enjoyed a wave of benefits.
All the talismans and cultivation methods of the Supreme Clarity Sect, except for the Supreme Clarity Treasure Register, were open to Bai Xiaowen. However, he was not allowed to pass them on to others at will.
Bai Xiaowen could also apply to enter the Supreme Clarity Sect's treasury and exchange "sect contributions" for some urgently needed spiritual materials.
As a guest elder, Bai Xiaowen received a fixed amount of sect contributions every month—one thousand points.
The contribution required for a Golden Tier spiritual material was roughly 100–500 points, depending on the material's grade. The contribution required for a Dark Gold Tier spiritual material was ten times higher.
In other words, even if Bai Xiaowen lazed around every month, he could obtain at most ten Golden Tier spiritual materials. After saving for a month or two, he could get one Dark Gold spiritual material.
Of course, with Bai Xiaowen's talent for stirring things up, he certainly did not plan to live off this fixed contribution. If he rendered meritorious service to the Supreme Clarity Sect, he could obtain additional sect contributions.
Bai Xiaowen immediately felt that upgrading the territory's defensive array seemed to be just around the corner.
By comparison, the Supreme Clarity Sect's talisman skills were not all that attractive to Bai Xiaowen—not because these talisman skills were unimportant, but because if Bai Xiaowen wanted to learn them, he had a better method: the Eye of Evolution.
When the Eye of Evolution analyzed and sealed other people's skills, it had already recorded the skill's energy pathways and force-exertion techniques. Bai Xiaowen only needed to spend some time meditating in cultivation to learn them.
However, Bai Xiaowen was rather short on time
