Courtyard

As they approached the outer sect administration hall, the crowd of disciples started to become thin, though murmurs and whispers continued to echo around them. Some stared in disbelief, while others seemed excited to see a male disciple inside the Sect's grounds.

The outer sect disciple's hall was a large, ancient building surrounded by lush gardens and flowers. It stood as a testament to the sect's lone history, a place where new blood was pumped into the sect.

Shen Yuan looked around to see the surroundings being beautifully designed, "Looks like the predecessors spent a lot of time designing the sect's layout. Every place is so beautifully decorated."

Xun Shuren proudly replied, "This sect was designed by the third disciple of our Founding Ancestor, she was an alchemist as well as a formidable cultivator. She was one of the brightest stars of her time. Later she became the second generation Sect Master of our sect."
