Wu Ji Nin was traversing the sect's compound with measured steps, when his gaze was drawn to a grouping of peers, huddled around the side of a Pavilion. Curious, he moved closer, only to realize they were gathered to discuss one of the many installments of Wuyin's Survival Guide. Not at uncommon sight at all, and indeed, something that Wu Ji Nin himself had done many times in the past. Something that, in all likelihood, he would end up doing again.
A smile blossomed on his face and, after a brief contemplation, he nodded sagely to himself and resolved to seek out his fellow disciple. Upon locating her, he offered a courteous greeting before expressing the purpose of his visit.
"I find myself indebted to the wisdom contained in your guides, Sister Wuyin," he began with sincerity. "The depth of knowledge within them is truly commendable. Learning that you commenced your journey within the sect concurrently with myself only enhances my admiration. I am not only impressed but also profoundly thankful for the guidance you've provided."
With a deliberate motion, Wu Ji Nin withdrew a Peasant Spirit Stone from his pouch, extending it towards Wuyin. "Please accept this token, Sister Wuyin. While its material value may be most modest, it is a humble expression of my gratitude. Rumors have reached my ears suggesting your aspirations in the realms of pill crafting and treasure refinement. I'm not certain they are to be believed, but if this meager offering can contribute even minimally to your endeavors, it would bring me solace and lighten the burden I bear."
