Su Yao and the others looked at the magnificent sect. They were extremely excited. They had imagined countless times how magnificent the sect of immortal cultivation was, but none of their fantasies could compare to the shocking feeling of standing in front of it in person.
There was an unusual atmosphere behind this huge sect. Although Su Yao and Ning Jing didn't know what other people felt, they felt relaxed.
Before Su Yao and the others could finish their shock, the leader of the group recruiting disciples said, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am a disciple from the outer sect of Xiaoyao Sect. You can just call me Brother Jinhong.
From now on, you are considered disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, but you must not slack off. You need to study and practice diligently. After one year, the elders will assess you. If you fail the assessment, you will still leave the sect. Do you understand?"
Everyone answered in unison: "Understood!"
Senior Brother Jinhong seemed very satisfied with their performance, and then said to Su Yao and Ning Jing: "You two come with me, and the rest of you, follow the other senior brothers." After that, he turned and left.
Su Yao and Ning Jing exchanged a glance, both of them knowing clearly. It must be because their spiritual roots were good that they had other arrangements.
Looking back, they saw that Senior Brother Jinhong had already walked several steps away, so the two of them hurriedly took two quick steps to catch up.
The two followed Senior Brother Jinhong to a red-crowned crane. The disciple guarding the crane smiled and bowed to Jinhong, calling out, "Senior Brother Jinhong, do you have any good news when you come down the mountain? I see you look radiant and full of joy."
Jin Hong didn't get angry when he heard this, and smiled as he looked back. "Brother, please don't make fun of me, but I do have good news when I came down the mountain this time. This time I found two excellent seedlings with single spiritual roots of the highest grade." He raised his hand and gestured towards Su Yao and the others.
He continued, "These two children are still mortals, and I'm not that proficient in sword-wielding. I can't take them with me. I need to take them to the sect meeting hall to see the headmaster and the elders, so I can only come to ask you for the crane."
"Brother, it's a bit too polite for you to say that. I'll bring the crane to you right away." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the crane.
He gently stroked the crane's wings, then took out the spiritual fruit he had prepared in advance and fed it to the crane. After completing these steps, he led the crane slowly over.
After receiving the crane, Jin Hong thanked it and jumped onto its back. He turned around and saw two girls standing there in a daze.
His mouth was so wide that an egg could fit in it, and his eyes were so round that Jin Hong couldn't help laughing, but he didn't forget his status as a senior brother and quickly straightened his expression.
He used his spiritual power to wrap Su Yao and the other person, and then slowly lifted them onto the spiritual crane: "You two little girls,
Just stay quietly within this spiritual shield. It will protect you two from being blown away when the spiritual crane flies. I will then take you to see the Sect Master and the elders."
After hearing Jinhong's words, the two of them came back to their senses from their shock and responded "yes" in unison.
Jin Hong was even more satisfied to see how well-behaved they were. He nodded and flew directly into the sky on the crane. Su Yao and the other girl were so frightened that they closed their eyes and hugged each other.
Jin Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you stay within the spiritual energy shield, you will definitely not fall. Just open your eyes and take a look at the scenery of Xiaoyao Sect. I will definitely not let you down."
Hearing this, Su Yao and the others slowly opened their eyes and turned their heads to look below the crane's body. The crane was flying very fast and the scenery below flashed by. They saw a dense and lush forest below, with a faint spiritual energy floating on the treetops. Occasionally, a few unknown birds flew out of the forest, and the hills in the distance also added a bit of mystery in the spiritual energy.
Suddenly, Su Yao noticed a mountain that was different from the others. The reason why it was different was that the other mountains were all lush and green. But this mountain was faintly glowing with golden light, as if filled with countless powers. Su Yao couldn't help but point at that mountain and asked Brother Jinhong: "Brother Jinhong, where is that?"
Jin Hong looked in the direction she pointed, his face filled with longing and respect as he slowly said, "That's Tianjiao Peak. On the peak is a tower called the Treasure Tower. As the name suggests, this tower contains countless treasures. These treasures were left behind by our ancestors who ascended to heaven thousands of years ago."
"And this treasure tower isn't open to everyone. For those of you who have just started, the only way to enter is to pass the trial conference three years from now and place in the top 10. Only then will you be eligible to enter the treasure tower."
"Brother Jinhong, once we enter the treasure tower, can we choose any treasure inside?" Su Yao asked.
Jin Hong chuckled after hearing this and said cheerfully, "Of course not. Most of the treasures here are intelligent. At this point, it's not you who chooses the treasures, but the treasures that choose you. So, it's still unknown whether you'll return empty-handed or laden. Of course, if you come out with no treasures at all, the sect will also provide a high-grade spiritual treasure as a reward. It's too early for you to understand this right now."
"You two should cultivate to a certain level first. Then someone will guide you."
"Yes, thank you for your advice, senior brother." Su Yao and Ning Jing said yes at the same time.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jin Hong brought the two of them to land in front of a hall. Then the crane raised its head and cried, then turned and flew back in the direction they came from.
Jin Hong turned around and told Su Yao and Ning Jing with a serious face: "When you two follow me in later, remember to be careful in what you say and do, don't lose your courtesy. Just follow me and salute, do you understand?"
Su Yao and the other person looked at each other, then nodded to Jin Hong and said, "Brother Jin Hong, we understand." At this time, both of them were thinking, what's so difficult about this? Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Think about how many immortal cultivation novels you have read. Everything will work out in the end.
Jinhong nodded and said, "Come with me." Then he pushed open the door in front of him.
Su Yao was shocked. "This world of immortal cultivation is truly extraordinary. This stone door looks ten meters high and five meters wide, yet it opens with just a slight push."
After a while, they arrived at the center of the hall. Jin Hong first bowed respectfully to the leading man and said, "Disciple Jin Hong greets the Sect Master and all the elders."
Su Yao and Ning Jing couldn't help but look up and were surprised. They didn't expect that the man they called "Master" was so young and handsome. He looked calm and composed. He looked to be only thirty or forty years old. It was indeed a world of cultivation.
