After a few minutes of walking the group came to a huge courtyard. It was simple, the floor was stone, there was a small stage in the middle and a gentleman sitting in a chair in a corner of the courtyard.He seemed to sleep, his eyes were closed, and he was relaxed in his rocking chair.
As soon as the group entered a slight pressure fell on them all, the lord"s breathing in front of him was huge, it was like standing before a sleeping dragon.
"Come on, it"s fine." - Ming Feng.
The group then entered the courtyard, despite the pressure no one found it difficult to be under it.
As soon as they all settled in front of the stage the gentleman opened his eyes calmly, got up from his rocking chair and stretched his body.
With a tired look, he climbed to the stage.
"Grand Elder Mou Kan" Saluted Ming Feng, while Chi Ziyun and Long Mu followed him in deep reverence.
Muo Kan waved his hand, that kind of formality was unnecessary for him.
"I see we have some interesting young people, very good, very good. You are part of our Great Purple Flame Sect. Rejoice. Well, you are all External Disciples, each of you will receive a residence in the outer area of the Purple Dawn Mountain Range." They will also receive access to the first floor of the Cult Library and each month will receive three Level Three Magic Crystals. " Mou Kan spoke, his voice firm and powerful, contrasting with his tired appearance.
************************************
"He must be half a step from the Dao of Purification" - Seiryuu.
"Because he would be in such a simple place, being someone so important. Bae Mon, for example, exuded wealth ..." - Le Chang.
"Dao of Purification is not a random name. Someone at this level needs to have a detachment from the things of this world, they need to understand how the world works, its natural laws and to do so one has to distance itself from it and try to see things as one. Bae Mon will have extreme difficulty entering the Purification Dao… "- Gao Yao.
"Is everyone on the Dao of Purification good? I don"t understand ..." - Le Chang.
"It"s not a matter of you becoming good by not getting involved in worldly affairs, it simply requires that you have a broad vision and not focused on just one goal ... It is too early for you to understand this, worry about it when it comes to that gentleman"s level on stage. " - Seiryuu.
"Right, Right." - Le Chang.
*************************************
Mou Kan waved his hand and a piece of paper appeared in front of each one on the spot.
It was a small map with some markings.
"This is the map of the Cordillera outside area and where your homes are located. You are excused, you can go." He said waving his hand.
As soon as he said that Ming Feng, Long Mu, and Chi Ziyun withdrew, they should return to their daily ch.o.r.es.
With the map in hand, the group of almost five hundred people went after their homes, after half an hour of walking all came to a large stone arch.
It was written on the following words: "Outside Area"
Just past the archway, you could see a large street. On either side were small stone houses.
The residences were simple, each had a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, a small cultivation room, and a central room.
No matter what their Status, everyone would have the same treatment from the Sect. Obviously, if you had the money to buy extra pills and artifacts besides the data given by the Sect, it was something else.
The Outer Area was huge, with over twenty thousand homes that covered the entire base of the Purple Flame Range.
It was like a small town, there were small tents opened by the Disciples that sold Pills, Artifacts, and other simpler items.
These small tents in front of the houses were commonplace, a quick way to get items and also sell some items to get money.
The Sect monthly gave three Level 3 Magic Crystal to the external Disciples. They could sell to raise money or they could use it to cultivate. Most chose to save one or two for cultivation and sell the other so they could buy Pills and Guns.
Of course, those with the greatest wealth cared little about it. For example Bae Hong. He was surrounded by resources since his birth. He was already bringing a huge sum of money into his Storage Ring, as well as a gold-level weapon. Meanwhile, most of the people there didn"t even have a Storage Ring, just those kids from slightly wealthier families like Wuhan Xie and Lian Mei. Le Chang was an exception, his parents had spent a great fortune to give him such an item. But he also got some extra rings, we can say he had a few dozen so far.
The new group pa.s.sed the main road followed by the glances of the other residents.
Le Chang a.n.a.lyzed everything calmly, so it didn"t take long for him to find his residence.
It was well away from the entrance, the place was quiet, far from the noise of the tents.
Upon arriving forward, a piece of jade floated in front of the door, as soon as he took it in his hands his name was automatically engraved on the piece.
Le Chang then held it against the door and it opened.
It was very rustic inside, in the bedroom was a bed, a set of covers and sheets, also had a pillow and on it was a small threadbare book, next to three Level Three Magic Crystals.
Le Chang looked at the book and saw some words written on the cover.
"Cultivation Technique: Cultivation of Natural Transformations." Murmured Le Chang.
"This technique explains how to cultivate each of nature"s five transformations." - Seiryuu.
"It"s rustic, can"t compare with [The G.o.d of Death] and [The Way of the Dragon G.o.d] that allows you to cultivate the five transformations at the same time." - Gao Yao.
Le Chang was not concerned with the techniques of the Purple Flame Cult, but with its resources. Since having Seiryuu and Gao Yao with him he had two Millennial Libraries in his mind. Every day Le Chang listened to Gao Yao and Seiryuu"s teachings on dozens of techniques, if he made any of the public, there would be wars to possess such teachings.
Le Chang then lay in his bed, it had been a long time since he had a good night sleep, today he decided not to cultivate and simply sleep.
**************************************
Elsewhere in the sect.
The hooded figure who was with the group all the time but was never noticed was sitting quietly in a chair in a small room. Everyone knew that there was a third person in the 10th Grade Dao Integration between them, but it was as if whenever they thought of such a person they had no image of her in their minds. It was as if he existed, but not either.
The Qi was extremely dense on the spot, almost suffocating.
After removing the black cloak the figure turned out to be a middle-aged, bald man with a definite body.
His gaze was ethereal, the movement of his body seemed to create ripples in the s.p.a.ce around him.
