"Tch"
The sword disappeared and Wei Yuan lost his focus when the assistant came in. He wanted to know if making a second sword is possible, but now he needs to wait. Wei Yuan looked at the assistant with piercing black eyes. This assistant was stronger than him, yet he started trembling and his hand started sweating. He clearly felt that he offended Wei Yuan.
"His presence is unbelievable. This monster is really an inner disciple?"
The assistant saw the true personality of Wei Yuan. The dragon inside the frail looking body, the persona behind the emotionless face. Wei Yuan walked out of the wooden house and followed the assistant who clearly hurried. A bit later they reached the giant pagoda. This pagoda was on the highest peak of the sect and looked very majestic.
The assistant opened the giant door and waved his hand towards Wei Yuan. The room inside the pagoda was very dark and the only source of light was a big crystal sphere on the center of a giant carved wooden table. Around this table sat the elders and the sect master. Wei Yuan barely sensed their presence and this made him surprised.
The strength of the elders and the sect master is amazing. The entrance exam was the first time he met with an elder of the sect. He knew that elders are one of the strongest individuals inside the sect, but now he knew that the elders are probably even stronger than the core disciples.
"Come inside inner disciple."
One of the elders said and Wei Yuan walked in. He sat on one of the wooden chairs as if it was natural and said.
"Could I know why the esteemed elders summoned me here?"
"Yes, we recorded your fight with another inner disciple and saw a quite interesting technique. Can you explain us how did you do that?"
Wei Yuan furrowed his brows when he heard that the elders recorded his fight without him knowing about it. Now he knew that keeping low profile inside this sect is almost impossible.
"Yes elder, I used a well known assassin technique and combined it with a simple sword thrust. The speed of my arm became extremely fast as a result. My first technique was a sword technique. The name of this sword technique is Sword Soul Technique. I found it on the first floor of the library and studied it every day. I also practiced with swords a lot."
Wei Yuan decided to not mention that he only learned the technique not too long ago. The elders looked at each other with a smile and nodded.
"I see, inner disciple Wei Yuan, your talent is amazing. Me and the elders decided to help you with resources and privileges, but you have to promise us one thing first. I hope you understand that we would like to give you special treatment in order to help the sect."
"Disciple understands, I would like to ask how can I help the sect?"
Wei Yuan knew that this special privilege was very important. He can disappear from the public stage with the help of the sect. It was very important for the current Wei Yuan.
"A year from now on. There will be a competition amongst the five great sects. We want you to enter this competition along with 5 other core disciples. This means that you have to reach the cultivation stage of a core disciple in one year."
Only this? Wei Yuan was happy. Entering a competition is nothing. The full support of one of the five great sects worth way more than that. Thus Wei Yuan accepted the offer with a nod of his head.
"Very good, now tell us what do you want in exchange. The sect will give you everything as long as it's not too unreasonable or expensive."
"I heard that the Core disciples can enter the second floor of the library. I also want to see the second floor. My second request is a place where I can cultivate in peace. Where no one can disturb me during this one year. I don't care if it's a mud hut or a mansion. This is all I need."
Wei Yuan obtained the information about the core disciples from the princess. The elders gasped in surprise when they heard what Wei Yuan wanted from them. He can get rich, he can get women, but all he needed is knowledge. Now the elders almost started hesitating. Wei Yuan is growing very fast.
"We accept your conditions."
The sect master accepted without hesitation and the elders nodded. Thus, this trade between them was successful.
