"Let's go, I'll take you to complete the admission procedures."
After Elder Lu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and disappeared from the reception area with Zhang Yuhe.
Zhao Qingqing, who was still there, had an expression full of envy.
"Alas, I wonder when I will also be able to become an Inner Sect Disciple."
"It seems I need to Cultivate even harder. As long as I advance to Nascent Soul, I can apply to join the Inner Sect."
Zhao Qingqing silently encouraged herself, then sat down cross-legged directly at the reception area.
Elder Lu took Zhang Yuhe away from the reception area and soon arrived outside a large hall.
A Cultivator in green robes quickly walked out of the hall and respectfully called out.
"Disciple Cheng Xujing pays respects to Elder Lu."
The white-robed old man nodded in acknowledgment, then pointed to Zhang Yuhe beside him and said.
"Process his Inner Sect identity."
"Inner Sect?"
Cheng Xujing quietly confirmed.
If the person speaking opposite him wasn't an Elder, he would have wanted to slap him.
Looking at Zhang Yuhe's Qi, he was clearly only at the Qi Cultivation stage. How could there be an Inner Sect Disciple at the Qi Cultivation stage in Dao Saint Sect?
Furthermore, Zhang Yuhe wasn't even an Outer Sect Disciple yet, and he was directly joining the Inner Sect upon arrival.
Isn't this too much of a joke?
Even descendants of the Sect's Old Ancestors couldn't use backdoors to this extent, could they?
And he hadn't heard that any Old Ancestor's descendants were joining the Sect recently.
Who is this deity?
"Yes, from now on, he is an Inner Sect Disciple of Dao Saint Sect. I will report this matter to the Sect Master. Just do as I say."
The white-robed old man clearly had no intention of explaining.
Cheng Xujing couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuhe quickly eased the atmosphere and cupped his hands to Cheng Xujing, calling out.
"Senior Brother Cheng."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare… Just call me Cheng Xujing or Junior Brother Cheng."
Cheng Xujing quickly waved his hand. He was just an Outer Sect Disciple of Dao Saint Sect.
As a Sect steward, he served in the Executive Hall.
In Dao Saint Sect, Outer Sect Disciples needed to perform various chores.
For example, he was in the Executive Hall, and Zhao Qingqing was at the reception area outside the mountain gate.
Inner Sect Disciples, however, did not need to do these things. They either peacefully stayed in the Sect to Cultivate or went out to guard an area, which could be said to be very free and unrestrained.
Zhang Yuhe would soon become an official Inner Sect Disciple, and Cheng Xujing dared not act presumptuously.
Although he had already entered the Golden Core stage and his strength was much greater than Zhang Yuhe's.
But many things in the Cultivation world, besides looking at strength, identity is also very important.
Even if Zhang Yuhe was just a small Qi Cultivator, with the identity of a Dao Saint Sect Inner Sect Disciple, no one would dare to belittle him.
Cheng Xujing was very curious why Zhang Yuhe, a small Qi Cultivation Cultivator, could ascend to heaven in one step and enter the Inner Sect.
However, Elder Lu had no intention of explaining, so he could only temporarily suppress his curiosity and focus on the main business first.
He respectfully asked Zhang Yuhe.
"May I ask what Senior Brother's name is?"
Cheng Xujing took out a book-shaped Magical Artifact, preparing to record the information.
"Zhang Yuhe."
"Age?"
...
After the identity record was completed, Cheng Xujing took out a Jade Slip and handed it over.
"Senior Brother Zhang, Inner Sect Disciples can choose an independent mountain peak as their Cultivation Immortal Cave. Please choose the mountain peak you desire on this?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but show a joyful expression.
There's such a good Opportunity?
An independent mountain peak as a Cultivation Immortal Cave, it sounds very high-class.
He took the Jade Slip and examined it, a vast map appearing in his vision.
This was the map of Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate, which not only depicted countless mountain peaks but also rivers and Lakes.
The size of Dao Saint Sect's mountain gate was beyond his imagination.
However, the map was marked with so many colors, and some areas were blank. What did this mean?
Zhang Yuhe was completely confused. He couldn't help but scratch his head and ask.
"Junior Brother Cheng, how should I read this map?"
It's not shameful to ask when you don't understand, to humbly seek guidance.
"The green areas are the Outer Sect region, the purple areas are the Inner Sect region, and the red areas are where the Elders Cultivate."
"Then what are these black areas?"
The map had a total of four colors marked, but Cheng Xujing only mentioned three, not the other one.
So Zhang Yuhe could only ask again, lest he go to the wrong place and commit a taboo in the future.
"I don't know either, but the Sect has a rule that all Disciples are not allowed to enter the black areas."
Alright, perhaps it's some secret place. Zhang Yuhe didn't have too much curiosity. He just needed to avoid those places in the future.
He then asked.
"Junior Brother Cheng, please guide me. How should I choose this mountain peak Immortal Cave?"
The map didn't come with an instruction manual, which made him not know how to start.
"The blank spaces in the purple area indicate that they are currently uninhabited. Senior Brother Zhang can choose a desirable mountain peak in these places."
Zhang Yuhe nodded in understanding.
He took out the map again to examine it. There were quite a few blank spots in the red area, roughly hundreds of them.
"Which location should I choose? Let's go with this one."
Zhang Yuhe quickly made his choice. He found a relatively secluded mountain peak, and there was also a small Lake at the foot of the mountain.
With mountains and water, it looked very comfortable.
Cheng Xujing took back the map, saw the location Zhang Yuhe had chosen, marked it, and then asked him.
"May I ask what name Senior Brother intends to give your mountain peak?"
"Silver River Peak."
Zhang Yuhe answered without even thinking.
He was a player from Blue Star, and heading towards the sea of stars was every Blue Star person's dream.
"Alright."
Cheng Xujing put away the map, then walked into the hall, and after a while, came out with a ring.
He handed the ring to Zhang Yuhe and said.
"Senior Brother Zhang, this is your item. Please keep it safe."
Zhang Yuhe took the ring, and his Divine Sense probed inside. The ring contained only a Jade Slip, a few clothes, and a jade token.
Seeing that they had finally finished their business, Elder Lu, who was nearby, spoke.
"I'm leaving now. Cultivate well. The Inner Sect of Dao Saint Sect is not that easy to stay in; this is a responsibility."
After speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
Seeing Elder Lu leave, Cheng Xujing breathed a sigh of relief. The Elder's aura was too powerful, making him somewhat nervous.
He smiled and said to Zhang Yuhe.
"Senior Brother Zhang, Silver River Peak is a bit far from here. Would you like me to take you there?"
"Then I'll trouble Junior Brother."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe quickly cupped his hands in thanks.
To be honest, the mountain gate of this Dao Saint Sect was indeed ridiculously large. With his Qi Cultivation stage cultivation, it would probably take him half a day to fly to his own territory.
Being weak was awkward; he needed to Cultivate quickly.
Otherwise, walking within the Sect might require hitching rides from others, which would be a bit demeaning.
"Senior Brother is too polite."
Cheng Xujing waved his right hand, and an exquisite flying boat appeared before them.
The two stepped onto the flying boat and quickly flew into the distance.
"May I be so bold as to ask how Senior Brother joined the Sect?"
Standing on the flying boat, Cheng Xujing finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Zhang Yuhe.
"Good luck. I unexpectedly obtained a token, and it was by virtue of this token that I was fortunate enough to join Dao Saint Sect."
Zhang Yuhe didn't hide anything. This wasn't anything shameful.
Moreover, he believed that this matter would likely spread throughout the entire Sect very soon.
After all, if a new Inner Sect Disciple suddenly appeared for no reason, it would be strange if the other Disciples didn't gossip.
"Senior Brother truly has a great Opportunity."
After a long while, Cheng Xujing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He knew about the Dao Saint Sect token, but he never expected that after nearly a hundred thousand years, there would still be a token circulating outside, and Zhang Yuhe just happened to obtain it.
Such luck truly made him envious.
Zhang Yuhe, who was beside him, did not know Cheng Xujing's inner thoughts.
If he knew, he might say, "It was just a matter of killing a tiger monster. It's a player's benefit; you natives wouldn't understand."
Hehe...
