After seeing the sun set from a tree branch while resting, Cloud head home right away.
He doesn't have any more space in the ring and he hasn't sleep for more than a day.
Since he's going to rest, then it's better if he rest at his new home.
Cloud arrive at his courtyard the next day around sunset. He eat, wash up, then sleep.
The next morning he goes to the administration hall to drop the beasts.
His ring is full so he have to unload if he wants hunt more.
He find the person in charge and finish his business right away. It doesn't take long. The management is quite great. They have enough people that deal with such a matter so Cloud doesn't have to line up for long.
He is brought to a certain place by a deciple in charge to check the beasts he hunted so there isn't much people that see he used space ring to store the bodies.
But even the disciple in charge doesn't think much of it.
First, it was because the disciple doesn't know Cloud's strength. He is a bit surprised that Cloud who look very young can hunt that many beasts but he doesn't think too deeply.
It can be that Cloud hunted those beasts with others or that Cloud is someone strong who just look young.
There are too many disciples in the sect so the disciple in charge doesn't remember all the new and old disciples.
All he care about is to do his work.
Secondly, the ring is not precious enough that someone would rob a fellow disciple for it.
It might be different if they know that Cloud is just a new deciple who only recently reached the Qi Gathering Realm.
But they won't be able to know that easily.
The process is not long at all. After Cloud takes out the bodies, the disciple quickly give a rough check and count the points for Cloud.
He then give Cloud a paper with some writing and said that Cloud can exchange it for the points at the administration hall.
Cloud does just that. At the administration hall, he receives his points and it is registered to his name.
After everything is done, Cloud go out again to hunt some more beasts.
He only received 15 contribution points for the beasts he hunted so he still need a lot more to reach the required 100 contribution points a month by the sect.
He repeat what he's doing for the next ten days. He comes and goes three times in those ten days.
In those three times, Cloud received 14,24, and 16 points respectively.
On the third time he hunted when he received 24 points, he found an early stage spirit beast and killed it.
Cloud can kill a spirit beast by himself now that he has become a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator.
But the fight wasn't easy. He has to spend a lot of time fighting it carefully. Although the risk of significant damage is low, he still need to be careful.
He has become strong enough that he can take blows from a spirit beast. He has also become powerful enough to deal significant damage to it.
If he is careful, he can kill it without receiving significant damage to himself. He has already experienced killing spirit beast after all.
And he was a lot weaker then. Now, he has become so much more powerful with stronger body and qi inside his body.
After hunting four times, Cloud managed to accumulate 69 points. He still need 31 more points to reach what's required by the sect.
So after a rest at his courtyard and exchanging the beasts for points, he went back out.
It has already about 15 days since he became an outer disciple. Cloud think that he should pick up the pace.
He also need some time to cultivate after all.
He spends the next three days for hunting again. He defeated another spirit beast this time and he got a total of 23 points.
So his total points becomes 92. 8 points to go.
Cloud go back out to hunt again after resting.
This time, he try to find a shortcut on the way to hunting area one.
It took too much time going back and forth so Cloud think he might be able to save some time if he managed to find a shortcut.
Of course, he might spend more time doing this if he got lost on the way, so it's not without it's risk.
But Cloud still have some time he can spare so he's willing to try.
He go through places where others doesn't usually go.
He has to pass thick bushes, overgrown trees and plants, and even a two meters overgrown weed field.
At the weed field, Cloud has to move slowly because his vision is blocked by the weed.
He moves while making a path by pushing the weed down the ground.
Just as he continues doing that, he suddenly step into nothing and he fell through the ground.
There is a small hole on the ground the size of a person. Thankfully the hole is not big.
Cloud quickly react and reach for the side of the hole to slow down his fall.
But before he can fully stop he fall into a wide area below the hole.
At that point he has already slowed his fall considerably so he is not injured when he fall to the bottom.
The end of the hole is only about 2 meters above the wide area, so Cloud only fall to his butt when he reach the bottom.
Before he gets a chance to look around, growling of beasts came from nearby.
