Chapter 109: Minor error leads to big problems…
Chiron could tell the cultivation of both parties.

Ponzi had B-grade dantain and with years of working hard, he was already a cultivator of the high-wood rank.

Duna and Luna were also B-grade but they were in the middle stage of the wood rank.

Carla was a cultivator with A-grade dantain and with her relentless spirit to work hard, was at the middle stage of the wood rank.

Zi was a cultivator with a C-grade dantain and was still in the early stage of the wood rank.

While on the other side, Jan Jan had B-grade dantain and was a cultivator of high-wood rank.

Those that followed him were also of the B-grade dantain, were all of the middle stage of the wood rank. At least all of them had B-grade dantain except Cablen, whose dantain was A-grade.

As cultivators got older on their path of cultivation, things such as cultivation resources, hard work, and cultivation opportunities start to become more of a defining factor for the strength they possess.

For example, even though Duna and Luna had the same grade of dantain as Ponzi, they were scatter-brains, and obviously did not put in much work. Therefore, they had lower cultivation as compared to him regardless of the fact that they had been cultivating for many years before Chiron’s batch.

Likewise, Cablen was not one to work hard but had the advantage of having access to rich cultivation resources, and that was why his cultivation paired with his good dantain quality which was already high.

Carla on the other hand, did not have rich cultivation resources but put in a lot of hard work in her cultivation, and that was why hard work plus her quality dantain resulted in her high cultivation.

This was the cultivation world, and this was how a little effort or even background could affect the growth of a person.

Both sides were roughly equal in strength, and a fight between them would not be bad for entertaining the eyes. However, Chiron had order plans and the little immature competition between children of whose blade was sharper was not on his agenda.

He suddenly stepped forward between the both of them which drew their attention, “Senior Ponzi, I’m new and don’t know much about this mission. The staff over there did not explain much to me, please can you guide me?” Chiron pointed to the elderly lady at the counter that had her eyes on the skirmish that was happening between Ponzi and Jan Jan.

Ponzi instantly understood what Chiron meant. After all, this was the bureau for cultivators. Fighting here was heavily prohibited and sanctions were the least one would get from the authorities.

There was also the generous gift of receiving a hundred lashes.

Ponzi realized that he had been so carried away by Jan Jan’s provocation that he had nearly gotten into a fight in the wrong place.

He took sharp breaths in and out and suddenly smiled at Chiron, “Thank you, junior. I’ll make sure to guide you appropriately.”

Jan Jan also noticed that eyes were on him and retracted his Spiritual energy.

He looked at Chiron and frowned. And then seeing the subject of a joke, he smiled, “Ponzi! are you so desperate that you had no choice but to take in the Tamashi!” he laughed loudly and the people behind him laughed together with him.

Jan Jan waved his hand and Cablen swaggered forward, “While you are busy recruiting broke juniors and trash, we also have a new member.”

Jan Jan introduced Cablen and even added the fact that his father was the clan chief, and while doing so, he looked at Carla in a disgusting manner.

Ponzi smiled, “I really don’t mind recruiting trash. Say Jan Jan, didn’t you hear?” he pulled Chiron closer, “This trash beat Cablen during the test!”

Jan Jan’s eyes widened. It was obvious he knew this but had forgotten about it and had been carried away by his own competitive nature.

Ponzi turned about, “Come on guys, we are leaving.”

The others followed Ponzi as he walked away.

However, Jan Jan would not let him have the last laugh. “Ponzi! I heard your party did not make last’s month quota, you only have about a week before the bureau does their checks. At this rate, your old father will die in more debt.”

Those words made Ponzi pause a bit and Chiron could see that he was now frowning deeply. But he held back his anger.

Even the twins that seemed to be always cheerful and carefree had ugly expressions.

Duna made another attempt at taking out his sword, but Ponzi stopped him, “Let’s go!”

The six of them walked out of the Bureau building. However, Chiron was in thought. Something was not right. He turned and asked Ponzi.

“Senior Ponzi! what did he mean by ‘not making the quota’?”

Ponzi sighed as he explained their current circumstances.

The bureau for cultivators gave out missions based on the needs of the clan. However, those that took these missions are not only required to pay fees for taking the missions but are awarded points for taking missions and also for the kind of items that are brought back.

These points certify the credibility of each party formed. However, failure to reach a hundred points each month would mean disbanding a party.

But that’s the easy part, each team member would be fined handsomely. The Clan was quite brutal when it came to filling its pockets.

Because of a certain illness that the twins had gotten on a certain mission last two months, there were not able to get fulfilment on their mission points. Of course, their debt was carried to the next month.

Of which another coincidence with Ponzi getting injured occurred and they were not able to make the month’s mark.

Normally, the party would have been disbanded by now, but the father of the Twins worked at the bureau and had been able to extend some time for them.

However, this was the furthest he could go.

The bureau’s check was seven days into a new month. This meant that they only had about six days to go.

After which they would fine each member for the last two months. The Bureau’s fines were not easy a burden to carry.

Ponzi turned to Carla, “I’m sorry Junior! At this rate, getting to the Snow white Tulip will be very difficult.”

Hearing this made Chiron frown.

He had intentionally joined this party.

The debt was not at all a big deal for him to pay. The big deal lay in the disbanding of the party.

He knew that climbing the mountain to get to the dragon’s egg was not going to be easy and he needed a party that could ease the path for him.

The Snow White Tulip Healer just so happened to be around the higher sides of the mountain where he was going.

Secondly, he needed points for changing fate. Which was why he choose a huge target like Carla.

Since she had a strong influence on the future of the clan during that event that was to happen, he could get significant fate change points from her.

However, he did not know about the current state of this party.

Climbing to the top of the mountain was not going to be easy and would take days if not weeks. But the party would probably be called back before they made it far.

What was important now, was making those missing points.

Chiron turned to Ponzi, “Senior, how many points are we lacking at the moment?”

Ponzi shook his head, “We need a hundred and sixty points.”

Chiron’s frown tightened. He could feel fate’s involvement again.
