14: Inner-Disciple!

"A word of advice, if you ever take any missions, watch out for the other sects, the competition between the three sects has been increasing lately" elder Zhao said as he slowly stood up.

Elder Zhao held back his anger as he saw that only Li Fan was listening to him, while the rest were bulging their eyes out at the sight of the inner sect area.

....

"After reaching your inner-sect courtyards, look through those items inside your spatial rings, they are very important" elder Zhao said once more as the flying treasure descended.

They clouds parted way as the towering mountain peaks were seen, there were rivers of water, waterfalls, huge ponds, extremely tall trees, and the sound of birds throughout the air.

Breathing in the air Li Fan became slightly excited, the outer-sect are had barely any Qi, and this inner-sect area was filled with lots of Qi.

The jade-body sutra required plenty of Qi to actually be activated, if Li fan's Qi cultivation was still at the 1st stage, he would probably have had all his bones broken without even being able to cultivate the jade-body sutra..

....

"Greetings sect guardian" elder Zhao suddenly stepped up as he bowed, gazing into the distance, a look of fear in his eyes.

"Sect guardian?" Li Fan was startled, was it the crane?

"It seems like there are less disciples this time?" A mysterious voice appeared from the void as a beautiful lady descended, she was devilishly curvaceous and extremely stunning.

This beautiful lady wore black and white robes, which resembled that of a crane.

"Could the sect guardian possibly be a crane that can turn into human form?" Li Fan said as he stared at the beautiful lady.

He shivered slightly as he felt her eyes fall onto him.

"Hoho, I didn't think I would meet you again" the sect guardian said as she smiled stunningly, like a flower blooming.

"S-Sect guardian, you have already met this new inner-disciple?" Elder Zhao was startled as he looked at Li Fan, the sect guardian usually wasn't around the outer-disciple area.

"Don't worry about that, he is an extremely talented kid, even supreme elder says he is talented, I just came to look at him one last time" the sect guardian said as she winked at Li Fan.

Only then did she leave through the air.

"Kid, to think even the supreme elder and the sect guardian says you are extremely talented, you have a bright future ahead of yourself, cultivate hard" elder Zhao said with a smile, a student getting praised by the sect guardian and the supreme elder was extremely rare.

The sect guardian was a crane at least a few hundred years old, with a human form of a beautiful young woman.

In this world, face was very deceiving, imagine a hundred year old young girl who looks like she is only a young adult.

Experts above the Qi refining realm are said to gain inter lifespans and tend to look younger, so to Li Fan witnessing the presence of the old immortal crane gave him a good feeling in his heart.

....

Even though the other new inner-disciples were shocked about what happened, they didn't dare to approach Li Fan, mostly because they were still confused.

Hong Tai also didn't bother voicing out his opinions, maybe having Li Fan as a friend isn't so bad.

The flying treasure quickly flew past many mountain peaks, these mountain peaks were filled with luxurious small courtyards, and many inner-disciples in blue robes could be seen all around.

"Xu Nianwei is probably already a core disciple" Li Fan remembered about the arrogant girl which the old Li Fan simped over.

[system mission completed!

Task: pass the disciple promotion exam.

Reward: Rebirth beast egg(pet function)-(sent to inventory)]

A system notification appeared in front of Li Fan, showing that he had completed the mission.

Li fan decided to wait before checking his inventory, it was best to be patient for now.

....

The flying treasure calmly landed onto a mountain peak filled with dozens of trees full of vitality, the sound of the nearby waterfall filling everyone's ears.

The inner-sect was relatively quiet and peaceful.

"I'm sure you notice the quietness here, don't go around bothering the cultivation of other disciples" elder Zhao said with a calm and collected attitude as he leaped off the flying treasure.

Li Fan and Hong Tai hurried off the flying treasure, they had both remembered what had happened last time, seeing this, the other three new inner-disciples leaped off the flying treasure before elder Zhao made it shrink to a nearly-invisible size.

...

"Since you five are new, the inner-elders have open courtyards at the mountain peak for you 5, there are older generation inner-disciples living here as well, so don't feel lonely" elder Zhao said as he slowly walked a lot the stone path with his arms behind his back.

"These 5 courtyards are for you 5, choose one, and don't fight over it" elder Zhao said with a smile.

It was long before Li Fan and The others chose courtyards, they were all relatively close to each other.

The beautiful grass on the mountain peak was incredibly beautiful, and the air was filled with unlimited and pure spiritual Qi.

..

Li Fan didn't care much and randomly chose a courtyard, elder Zhao watched and nodded as the 5 new inner-disciples chose courtyards.

A piece of paper and ink appeared in his hands as he made note of their chosen courtyards before flying away atop a flying sword.

Li fan walked around the small pond in the middle of the courtyard, the pond was surrounded by flowers of all kinds and even had lotuses in the middle.

Two multi-colored koi fish could be seen swimming throughout the pond happily.

The small courtyard was actually very spacious, at least with enough room for Li Fan to cultivate..

..

Li fan sat in the biggest bedroom as he opened the spatial ring first, looking through it.
