Few days passed by...
The life for Ren Li got really boring. He didnt know it, but it was another test meant to see which of these kids had good mentality for cultivation. Someone who can bear solitude, being able to stay in silence and follow orders was the best possible candidate. These kids didnt know, but every single one of them who showed these characterics would be instantly accepted to the Outed Sect.
Sect rules were simple after exam kids werent allowed to leave their rooms, only exception wc. Talking was forbidden even when in this rare moment outside. Their meals were brought by the servants, so basically all they had to do was to stay in the empty room and wait.
But as a little children most of them couldnt bear it, fortunely after some punishmend by the servants and a bit of crying bigger trouble didnt happen. After all even if they are young, they were aware of how important opportunity it was.
Ren Li was currently thinking about all his wealths, pills, servants and heavy armored powerful honor guards, not forgetting beautiful young maids following him left and right. Droll was visible on his mouth when thinking about shiny gold coins he would soon have! Till now he didnt own a single one. Typical mortal household could earn about 1 gold coin a year, which was more than enough to let them live comfortable life. With all the help from the "immortals" and the amout of jobs related to them - like spirtual mines, mineral, herbs or other special rocks treasure hunting it wasnt hard for mortals to live. It wasnt know to them, but the little effort cultivators spend on helping them with fields etc. was all because humans were also a cultivation resource for them! And a important one at that.
"Kid stop drolling and come with me" At this moment low shout stopped his fantasy. Looking up he didnt see anyone and got scared! However after thinking for a bit, he went outside only to see ugly disspirited young man outside - it couldnt be anyone else other than Sima Long.
"Stop looking at me or i will think that You are into guys! And come dont waste my time" Sima Long just thinking about how much effort he would have to put only to get free time while doing his ... private buisness was really annoyed and in bad mood, so his face didnt look good. Just looking at him made Ren Li scared.
With a bit of hesitation Ren Li follow this weird guy into a cloud that was parked just outside. Flying cloud? Just looking at it made his eyes spark as he couldnt help but imagine when he would be able to make one himself and throw gold coins at peasants arrogant young masters while laughing how poor they are.
Looking at the weird faces the kid was making, like he was about to burst into evil laugh Sima was about to regret his choice, but it was a bit late...
As the cloud started soaring over the sect he said in stern tone "My name is Sima Long, Outer sect Elder of the Creation Moutain. Dont ask any question and stay quiet unless i say otherwise!" Listening to his stern voice and once again asked to stay silent Ren Li was really confused. Why these all cultivators want silence?
"Starting from today i will be Your master. No need for ceremony, You can call me Master from now on. However only when You are allowed to talk" being pleased with himself Sima Long ignored shocked child and continuted "I saw Your extraordinary potential, even if You cant see it Yourself i can, thats why i decided to take You in, even though the choices i had were numerous!" Looking at even more shocked kid and even more pleased with himself he laughed
"It means You are formal Outer Sect disciple of Creation Moutain. It will take a while for us to fly there, so i will try to make You general situation of the sect. There are 9 main moutains, 2 of which can be considered as places of diffrent purposes, but 7 of them are meant separate us cultivators into groups with people that cultivate similar dao, which is for sure helpful. Out Creation Moutain has thousands of lessers Moutains and one of them is owned by me!" Looking at even more shocked kid than before, Sima Long started to think that every child is the same - after all it wasnt his first disciple, in truth he had two before. But unfortunely they were both dead at this moment thanks to event that happened years prior.
"I will in a few words describe our Creationists faction. In short there are 3 main groups there and many lessers, which You can ignore for now. Main groups are Alchemists, Formation Masters and Forging Masters. Lesser groups are like Inscription Masters or Botanists. Which both are part of Forging and Alchemy respectively. Its simple, if You dont understeand its not my problem. I am 7th tier Alchemists of Mortal tier, to say it more simple our whole Sect has more than milion members of Creation Moutain but only less than 100 of 7th tier Alchemists, as for 8th tier there is only one". Hearing his new "Master" words Ren Li mouth was open mide while he was trying to hide starts in his eyes from embarassmend. His Master was awesome! If only he knew his Master thoughts at that time...
