"Come on, I'll take you to complete the entry procedures."
After Elder Lu finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and disappeared from the reception area with Zhang Yuhe.
Zhao Qingqing, who was at the scene, still had an envious expression on her face.
"Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to become a disciple."
"It seems I need to work even harder. Once I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I can apply to join the inner sect."
Zhao Qingqing silently cheered herself up, and then sat down cross-legged at the reception desk.
Elder Lu led Zhang Yuhe away from the reception area and soon arrived at the gate of a grand hall.
A monk in blue robes hurriedly came out of the main hall and respectfully called out.
"Disciple Cheng Xujing greets Elder Lu."
The old man in white robes nodded in acknowledgment, then pointed to Zhang Yuhe beside him and spoke.
"Grant him an inner sect identity."
"Inner sect?"
Cheng Xujing asked in a low voice to confirm.
If the person speaking to him wasn't an elder, he would have wanted to slap them across the face.
Judging from Zhang Yuhe's aura, he is clearly only at the Qi Refining stage. How could the Dao Sheng Sect have an inner disciple at the Qi Refining stage?
Moreover, Zhang Yuhe is not even an outer disciple yet; he joined the inner sect immediately upon arrival.
Isn't this too childish?
Even a descendant of the sect's patriarch shouldn't have gone to such lengths to pull strings.
Furthermore, I haven't heard of any descendants of the ancestor joining the sect recently.
Who is this deity?
“Yes, from now on, he will be an inner disciple of the Dao Sheng Sect. I will report this to the sect leader. Just do as I say.”
The old man in white robes clearly had no intention of explaining.
Cheng Xujing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuhe quickly eased the tension and bowed to Cheng Xujing, saying...
"Senior Brother Cheng."
"No, no, please... Just call me Cheng Xujing or Junior Brother Cheng."
Cheng Xujing quickly waved his hand, explaining that he was merely an outer disciple of the Dao Sheng Sect.
As a sect steward, I serve in the steward's hall.
In the Dao Sheng Sect, outer disciples are required to perform various miscellaneous tasks.
For example, he was in the Hall of Affairs, while Zhao Qingqing was at the reception area outside the mountain gate.
Inner disciples, on the other hand, do not need to do these things. They either stay in the sect to cultivate or go out to guard a region, which can be said to be very carefree and leisurely.
Zhang Yuhe will soon become a formal inner disciple, so Cheng Xujing dares not be arrogant.
Although he had already reached the Golden Core stage, his strength was far greater than Zhang Yuhe's.
However, in the world of cultivation, besides strength, status is also very important in many matters.
Even though Zhang Yuhe was just an outer Qi Refining cultivator, no one dared to underestimate him because of his status as an inner disciple of the Dao Saint Sect.
Cheng Xujing was very curious as to why Zhang Yuhe, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, could ascend to the inner sect in one step.
Elder Lu didn't seem inclined to explain, so he had to suppress his curiosity for now and focus on his business.
He asked Zhang Yuhe respectfully.
"May I ask how I should address you, senior brother?"
Cheng Xujing took out a book-shaped magical artifact, preparing to record information.
"Zhang Yuhe".
"age?"
...
After the identity was recorded, Cheng Xujing took out another jade slip and handed it over.
"Senior Brother Zhang, inner disciples can choose an independent mountain peak as their own cultivation cave. Please select the mountain peak you wish to visit here."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but show a look of joy.
Is there really such a good thing?
Using a solitary mountain peak as a cultivation cave sounds incredibly sophisticated.
He took the jade slip and examined it; a vast map appeared in his field of vision.
This is a map of the Daosheng Sect's mountain gate, which not only depicts countless mountain peaks but also rivers and lakes.
The sheer size of the Dao Sheng Sect's mountain gate was beyond his imagination.
However, the map is marked with so many colors, and some parts are blank. What does that mean?
Zhang Yuhe was completely bewildered, and he scratched his head and asked.
"Junior Brother Cheng, how do we read this map?"
It's not shameful to ask questions when you don't understand something and to humbly seek guidance.
"The cyan area is the outer sect area, the purple area is the inner sect area, and the red area is where the elders cultivate."
"What are these black areas?"
The map was marked with four colors in total, but Cheng Xujing only mentioned three of them and didn't mention the third one.
Therefore, Zhang Yuhe could only ask again to avoid going to the wrong place and breaking taboos in the future.
"I don't know either, it's just that the sect has a rule that no disciple is allowed to enter the black zone."
Well, maybe it's some kind of secluded place. Zhang Yuhe wasn't too curious; he just decided not to go to those places in the future.
He then asked.
"Junior Brother Cheng, please advise me on how to choose a mountain peak and cave dwelling."
There wasn't an instruction manual on the map, so he didn't know where to start.
“The blank areas in the purple zone indicate that the area is temporarily uninhabited. Senior Brother Zhang can choose a mountain peak that he likes from these areas.”
Zhang Yuhe nodded to indicate that he understood.
He took out the map again to check, and found that there were quite a few blank spaces in the red area, roughly several hundred.
"What spot should we choose? Let's go with this one."
Zhang Yuhe quickly made his choice. He found a relatively secluded mountain peak with a small lake at its foot.
With mountains and water, it looks very comfortable.
Cheng Xujing took back the map, saw the location Zhang Yuhe had chosen, marked it, and then asked him a question.
"I wonder what name you plan to give your mountain, senior brother?"
"Galaxy Peak".
Zhang Yuhe answered without even thinking.
He is a player from Earth, and venturing to the stars is the dream of every Earthling.
