Lin Wan'er was so excited that it seemed as if her heart had started beating again.
The 23rd!
Judging from the lifespan of extraordinary creatures, how long has this organization existed?
"Hello... President, I'm Lin Wan'er."
She couldn't help but lower her head, not wanting to show her unstable side to the other person.
Only then did she notice.
A little girl of seven or eight years old was standing next to Ren Ming's legs.
After noticing Lin Wan'er's gaze, the little girl waved at her.
"hello!"
Lin Wan'er's expression was a little tense.
What's wrong with this little girl?
The other party's daughter? Or a child bride?
Noticing Lin Wan'er's strange expression, Ren Ming held his forehead inwardly.
"Don't get me wrong, she's not human... Uh, that's not right."
"You can just call her Xisti (the phonetic transliteration of the system). She'll be your future colleague."
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Ren Ming made a prompt decision and spoke.
"Now that you're here, let me show you around our headquarters."
After that, Ren Ming brought a ghost and a system to the lake.
Ren Ming stretched out his right hand, muttering something, and a blue light appeared on the water surface.
Then he turned to Lin Wan'er and said, "Come with me."
Then jump into the lake.
Lin Wan'er covered her mouth in surprise. Their headquarters was actually under the lake?
Soon, Ren Ming and the system disappeared from her sight.
Lin Wan'er didn't think any more and quickly followed.
Jumping into the water, she felt the surface of the water begin to become blurry, like a thin film.
The underwater pressure disappeared completely at some point.
The next second, a warm feeling surged into Lin Wan'er's heart.
She slowly opened her eyes and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her.
They were no longer underwater, but high in the sky!
Lin Wan'er looked up and found herself standing on the trunk of an ancient tree.
The ancient tree is so lush and leafy that it blocks out the sun, and there is no end in sight.
Even the tree trunk at her feet still had enough space for ten people to stand hand in hand!
Lin Wan'er looked around.
The ancient tree is covered in mist, which not only does not make it look abrupt, but makes it look like a paradise on earth.
Is this what the thirty-three heavens in mythology are like?
Ren Ming came up to her and explained.
"You haven't become a member of the Hermit Society yet, so you need water as a medium. Other Hermit Society members will bring you to the headquarters. Once you have the Hermit Society's mark, this trouble won't be necessary."
Ren Ming raised his hand and showed Lin Wan'er the hexagram mark on her wrist.
Then he pointed to the looming building above.
"Come on, I'll take you to the initiation ceremony."
Lin Wan'er followed in a daze.
What she saw and heard along the way made her not know what expression to make.
Do ghosts dream too?
The pavilions she saw were all clinging to ancient trees, with different styles and features.
Some are simple and elegant, some are exquisite and gorgeous.
Lin Wan'er was amazed. Are these buildings the offices of the Hermit Society?
It looks like it has both Chinese and Western styles, but it doesn't seem out of place at all.
She couldn't help but wonder what kind of secrets and stories were hidden in these pavilions?
Ren Ming explained: "These pavilions were carefully built by the predecessors of the Hermit Society. They came from different countries and regions, so the styles are different."
Lin Wan'er was fascinated by what she heard, and only then did she feel that there was a real supernatural power in the world.
It turns out that besides her and Ren Ming, there are so many extraordinary seniors.
When he reached the largest building, Ren Ming stopped.
"This is the core area of the Hermit Society, and it's also where you will perform the initiation ceremony today," he said.
Lin Wan'er looked up and saw that the building in front of her looked like an ancient Chinese palace.
Every detail is exquisite and magnificent, with golden runes engraved everywhere.
Especially the plaque at the top.
Lin Wan'er just took a glance.
I felt a sudden buzzing in my head, as if I saw the original scene of the universe and witnessed the vicissitudes of life.
It seemed like a long time had passed, or maybe it was just a moment.
Lin Wan'er suddenly woke up and felt that the spiritual energy in her body had doubled!
She looked at her hands in surprise. What happened just now?
"Congratulations on your sudden enlightenment. Now you have finally stepped into the threshold of immortal cultivation and become a ghost cultivator of the second stage of Qi training."
Ren Ming said with relief.
He is indeed a promising talent that he has chosen.
Even though Blue Star doesn't have much spiritual energy, she can still find opportunities to advance.
Lin Wan'er immediately turned around and looked at Ren Ming and the system who were waiting on the side. They both had expected expressions.
"This plaque is..."
Ren Ming said to Lin Wan'er in a vicissitudes of life tone.
"It's a magical weapon refined by our first guild leader. It even contains a trace of the Dao of Heaven and Earth. It's your chance to gain something from it."
Ren Ming then walked to the platform in front of the temple and said, "Next, we will conduct the initiation ceremony in front of it."
They wasted a lot of time waiting for Lin Wan'er to finish her epiphany.
Now it’s finally time to get down to business.
"Lin Wan'er." Ren Ming turned to face Lin Wan'er and said to her solemnly, "Come to me!"
Ren Ming's usually low voice became resounding.
Lin Wan'er's heart shuddered and her fingers trembled slightly.
She came in front of Ren Ming, with a huge Hermit Society symbol under her.
And she is right in the center of the logo, and the ancient eye relief reveals endless wisdom.
Ren Ming stood aside and explained to her.
"You will soon enter a fantasy world. If you pass it, you will become a formal member of the Hermit Society and learn about our mission."
This was a formation that Ren Ming had prepared early in the morning, which could test the opponent's ability and character.
After all, there are people who have good talents but poor abilities and low moral character.
This kind of person will only hinder Ren Ming's plan and make the Hermit Society a mess, so it's better not to have him.
But he is very optimistic about Lin Wan'er.
Having said this, he looked at Lin Wan'er seriously and said, "You still have a chance to change your mind now. I can erase your memory and send you out."
"Once the ceremony begins, you won't have a second choice."
Lin Wan'er stood there, a smile suddenly appearing on the corner of her mouth.
She had thought about it countless times in the past three days and already had the answer.
"Let's get started, President! I won't regret it."
Along the way, she witnessed the splendor of the Hermit Order's headquarters, and also learned about its dangers and hardships.
Exists to protect human principles, hides to protect secrets.
"That's good."
Ren Ming looked at this future member of the organization with satisfaction and injected the spiritual power in his hand into the stone pillars around the platform.
A dazzling beam of light burst out from the ground, enveloping Lin Wan'er.
After the light disappeared.
The luster had gone from Lin Wan'er's eyes.
At the same time, a blue light curtain appeared in the air.
In the picture, Lin Wan'er appeared near a small village.
The ancient man who was wearing a coarse cloth short collar beside him was shocked, dropped what he was holding, and ran away screaming.
