Soon, One month period had passed. Other than contributing in the Ingredient gathering in the Agriculture department, Altima participates in Joining along with the Metalworks department, which he participate in the process of refining and melting the rough metals into Solid Metal Bars before its handover towards the professional blacksmith to Mould and Craft into weapons.
Altima participates within the Alchemy and Trade and Exchange Departments as well, Learning all the Basics about Potion Concocting, Material Collections as well as the Market price on the certain ingredient which available within the market. Coincidently, The Market price is controlled by the Balancing Zen Pills as the basic currency, where reduce the requirements of bringing a huge amount of either Copper Coins or Crystals all around.
Shifting around the Department each week, Altima manage to gather about 50 Crystal Bead each day, where after deducting by paying 10 Beads for his Accommodation each night and 2 meals each day, Altima manage to Keep himself a total of 1,920 Numbers of Beads, which enough for him to Exchange for a few items in the Trade and Exchange department.
Once the Work for the day is finally finished by Altima And received a total of another additional 50 Crystal Beads, Altima quickly proceeds towards the Trade and Exchange Department, to catch the final Hour before the closing period. Within the Thousand Members Guild, A special Practice is conducted during the members are within the area in Trading Halls. One must be within the Hall before the Bell is Rang, to entitle themselves to enter and participate in the purchase and selling of Produce.
The Hall is opened Daily, but only for a short period of 2 hours, which is why The Contributing job to assist the Trade and Exchange Department have heavily sought after. But there is a catch to help within the Trading Hall, where if one is failed to either serve at least 10 Customer each hour, they will be Disqualified from participating in the Hall Contributing works, as well as Restricted from Entering the Hall for any Purchases for the next one Month.
Although the Rules is strict, but The applicants to help in the Trade and Exchange Department are still heavily sought after. As Altima step his both feet into the Hall Entrance, A loud bell sound rang across the hall, stating that the Closing is up, where the door will be Closed, and only the Back Exit will be open until all the visitors left the halls. Immediately with haste, Altima quickly surveys around for the Materials and ingredient he wished to procure.
First in Altima list of procuring Items, is the Ingredient to Prepare a special Cultivation Resources, named Wolfberry Essence Leaf. These leaves are difficult to procure, due to the low maturity rate is applied on each Wolfberry Seed Tree. Although the Wolfberry Seed is possible to be used as Healing Ointments, only the Wolfberry Leaf is well Concentrated with Essence strong enough to create another Variation of Cultivating Resources called Essence Linking Concentrate.
Through Success of Refining and Concocting this Ingredient into One single Dosage of Concentrate, A mix Ratio of Wolfberry Essence Leaf 1 : 1 Vial of Demonic Beast Blood (Human) is required. With a requirement of 200 Points of Contribution is needed, Altima quickly exchanges all he could, but only able to reserve 4 Pieces of the Essence Leaf, due to the Difficulty to procure this ingredient. Meanwhile, for the Demonic Beast Blood (Human), Altima decided to not purchasing any for now, since this Blood is easier to be procure compared to the Essence Leaf.
Next, With the remaining 1,170 Points left, Altima decided to Purchase a few Pure Metal Ingots for himself to use and Act as the Feeds for Mobi. After shifting around the different department, Mobi was seen to be Enjoying the Atmosphere and Drools over the Metal Refined by Altima the most, Even more, obsessed than a lunatic Blacksmith. Talking about the Lunatic Blacksmith, there is one Older Guild member whom almost well known by all the members of the guild.
This old Blacksmith Name is called Tie Chuei (Metal Hammer). Most of the guild member treat him as a mentor, due to Tie Chuei is the only capable master in the Metal Works Department. Once a while, Tie Chuei will require the visitor to the Metal Works Hall to pay him in the form of Metal Ingots as currency, but in return, Tie Chuei Usually repairs their equipment for free each time they came for the repairing services.
As the Metal Works Stalls are usually packed, Altima quickly went towards a close acquaintance of him, named Li Sung, to request for a quick trade between the stall and Altima himself.
"Brother Li, can I check how many ingots could I try to get with 1,000 Contribution points ?", Altima place the Beads onto the Cashier counter, and allows Li Sung to Consider and calculate before he replies.
"Little Brother, If you are only looking for the Basic Metal, Arsalite, we could reduce the cost of each to 50 Points compare to single purchase cost 65 Points each. With this way, you could purchase a total of 20 Arsalite Ingots directly for only 1,000 Points.", Li Sung quickly calculate and let Altima Know the results.
"If in that case, I will trouble Brother Li to place the order on my behalf.", Altima quickly pays through contribution points, and heading out from the hall as he currently has no funds to continue "his shopping".

Immediately, Once Altima returned to his "Rented Room", Mobi quickly bounce out from Altima's Wrist and impatiently awaits the Arsalite to be delivered over, which came along to the hand of Altima after waiting for another 10 minutes.
"Brother Mobi, How come you are so eager to have all these Arsalite Ingots ?". Asked Altima.
"What you know, Kiddo! 5 years! I am at your wrist for 5 years, and you did not even feed me a single bead of Metallic Compound. Do you know how Desperate, Hunger, Lust, Wishful for a mouthful of it ?", Mobi quickly Exclaim his eagerness, but still jumping on the same spot, hurrying Altima to quickly withdraw the Arsalite from the Pouch.
As the Arsalite is digested into "Mobi's Stomach", A system prompt notice came from Mobi, but since this guy didn't Change into the Interface Mode, Altima has no choice but to Check on it the next time he required. Soon after a look, The Note appeared within the Interface was:
"Successfully Ingested 20 Units of Arsalite Ingots, Obtain 20 x Chances to Increase success rate by 5% upon Activities."
"Experience for Universe Slime is increased by 0.20%! Current Experience 0.20%/100%"
Hell, this Brother Mobi is seriously a High Maintenance Guardian to take care off. Based on the Current Level of my Concoction Option is Level 3, I have a higher possibility of success in Concocting the Balancing Zen Pills, which is about 35%. Meanwhile, for the New recipe (Concentrated Extract of the Wolfberry Essence), the recipe indicate that only 5% of success rate is there when trying for this Recipe.
As the time pass for another few more month with certain Contribution activities along the few departments, Altima quickly adapts to the hectic and Productive Life within the guild vicinity. With the Assistance of the Cultivation and Accommodation room provided, Altima manage to Increase his cultivation, and break through the 6th Stage of Early Practitioner of Zen to the 7th stage of the Early practitioner of Zen.
Meanwhile, One more Refining Selection could be made on Altima's 8 Ascending Fist, Thus bringing the skill from the Peak Early Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts into the Early Warrior Practitioner of Zen Martial Arts. With an increase in the overall performance and strength on his currently still perfecting martial arts, Altima has the confidence to fight on part with any early Warrior Stage practitioner, and Hold himself for at least 5 to 10 Minutes before he is overwhelmed.
Soon, after being within the Thousand Members Guild for a total of 3 Month, Altima returned home for a visit to his family, as well as to make some preparations as there is an Event happening within the Guild. In another 16 Days, The Twice a year Big Hunt Begins.

In a similar way, both Hu Clan, as well as the Thousand Leaves Sect, will have their own Agendas as well, which thoroughly divided into different segment each year.
Although the participation does not require any payments, but a 10% of the gathered ingredients or materials would be treated as the contribution from each member once this event is over. In the same time, any Gathered Relics, Ancient weapons or Martial Skills will be treated as the Ownership between The Guild and the Member who founded it. Thus Allowing the Guild to expand and share the Skill the member who found towards all the other well Contributed Members.
