Chapter 361: Ch- 361: Core Disciple Perks
"Of course, you're a Core Disciple. After seeing your strength and performance, if I don't promote you, do I even deserve to be the Sect Master? Besides, everyone would protest if you were only made an Inner Court Disciple," Jiang Hong grumbled.
"Now, can you tell us your decision?" Lei Ping, who had been silent until now, asked.
'Please don't join another peak, please…' Zhou Huixin prayed inwardly.
"Of course. How could I join another peak when I've already promised Peak Master Zhou Huixin to join Jade Peak? I, Wang Ming, always keep my promises," Wang Ming said seriously, to the disappointment of the others and the delight of Zhou Huixin.
"Haha! Disciple Wang Ming, you won't regret this decision!" Zhou Huixin said with a bright smile, which only caused the other Peak Masters to glare at her.
"I see. In that case, here are your badge and robes," Jiang Hong said as a beautiful robe—the uniform of the Core Disciples—and a badge bearing the mark of Jade Peak materialized in front of him. He handed them to Wang Ming.
Wang Ming took the robes and was surprised to find they were enchanted and functioned like armor. Seeing Wang Ming examining his new robes, Jiang Hong smiled and explained
"The robes of Core Disciples are special. They're enchanted by experts and provide some defensive abilities. While they may not withstand powerful attacks from strong cultivators, they can certainly repel attacks from weaker ones. This helps prevent sneak attacks, which only Core Disciple robes are designed to guard against." Jiang Hong paused and then continued
"Don't underestimate sneak attacks from weak cultivators—they can have disastrous consequences even for powerful ones. For example, if a strong cultivator is in a life-and-death battle and a weaker opponent launches a surprise attack, it could be fatal. The main enemy could exploit the opening to end their life." Jiang Hong looked at Wang Ming after explaining.
Wang Ming nodded in understanding, then clicked his tongue.
'The disparity… being weak is truly disadvantageous. So many benefits are out of reach if you're not strong,' he thought. The robes of Outer and Inner Court Disciples offered no real advantage beyond functioning as basic uniforms.
He then took the badge and examined it carefully. It appeared quite ordinary, with only a few enchantments to make it more durable. The name of the peak he had joined was carved into it.
"Also, let me tell you some of the perks of being a Core Disciple," Jiang Hong said, immediately catching Wang Ming's attention.
"First of all, you don't need to worry about completing mission quotas. If you don't want to take on missions outside the sect, you're free to focus solely on cultivation. You won't be punished for skipping missions. However, I suggest you still take on some quests. Even though you'll receive free contribution points without doing anything, if you want to acquire rare and expensive treasures, you'll need more points—especially since other disciples will be bidding for them as well.
Moreover, Core Disciples can accept any quest, even those that are locked for other disciples or reserved only for elders." Jiang Hong paused briefly, then continued.
"The Cultivation Tower is also free for all Core Disciples. However, there is a daily time limit to ensure others can use it as well. If you wish to extend your cultivation time, you'll need to spend contribution points."
"I see," Wang Ming nodded, noting how starkly different these benefits were compared to those of Outer and Inner Court disciples.
"Also, take these," Jiang Hong said as he tossed two tokens to Wang Ming, who caught them effortlessly.
"One of them contains the contribution points you receive upon becoming a Core Disciple. The other is a token that allows you to redeem a free technique or weapon from the treasury," Jiang Hong explained with a smile.
'Sigh, the poor and weak really have it tough,' Wang Ming thought as he looked at the token. The sheer amount of contribution points granted was so high that an Outer Court disciple wouldn't be able to earn that much even in a decade.
' Stats' Wang Ming then opened his satus

'One million left to get the soul weapon. I need to resume Dual Cultivating soon and earn more Dual Cultivation points to buy it.' Wang Ming thought to himself. ' Ignoring the delay, at least I'll gain more points while cultivating with Inner and Core Disciples.'
The female disciples of the Inner Court and Core disciples have higher cultivation levels compared to those of the Outer Court, and cultivating with them would yield more points.
