...
And the rest, they were either cultivating, or just idling around the sect.
The next day, in the morning.
All of the disciples gathered in the square, they were curious as to what they're gonna be doing, or what the reason for the call.
With a swoosh, Lin Shu appeared in front of everyone.
Almost in unison, they all gave respects to him and bowed their bodies 90 degrees.
"Meet the Suzerain!"
"Meet the Suzerain!"
"Meet the Suzerain!"
With a slight chuckle, he said casually.
"Presumably, you all are curious as to why I called you guys suddenly?"
Some nodded, some replied saying.
"Yes, Suzerain."
He then continued,
"Okay, I won't dawdle around anymore. The reason why I called you all out is because I want to pass out a certain cultivation technique and martials to each and everyone of you here."
Hiss!
Some of the disciple's drowsiness disappeared like nothing happened.
Their expectations were all over the sky.
'These things should be High-Tiered right?'
These are all their first thoughts.
Just kidding, seeing the majestic hidden world. One can tell that the Linshu Sect is countless times stronger than their Twilight Kingdom itself.
'What they'll give should be precious.'
"Okay, before I pass on the cultivation technique of this sect. First and foremost, I will tell you the rules here, inside the Hidden World.
1. In-fighting is explicitly not allowed. Any conflicts, could then be resolved in the Arena. Of course, to conduct a fight, both individuals must have their consent that they agree to this fight. If not, In-fighting is prohibited. Of course, this also applies in the outside world. Basically, all the rules here are.
2. Trespassing certain places without any permission is greatly prohibited. Once caught, especially by the elders. They can freely shoot you to death!"
Before saying the last rules, all the elders released their momentum including him, making them, taking a breath harder, till they got on the ground.
He continued in a deep voice.
"Lastly, If you are gonna treat this sect as a 'Stepping Stone' for your rise. Then I advise you to dispel your thoughts as early as now."
Releasing their momentum and waiting for them to stand up he said: "Is that clear?!"
"Yes, Suzerain!"
"Yes, Suzerain!"
"Yes, Suzerain!"
He replied: "Very Good!" Then he closed his. But behind those eyelids showed a golden light.
Then making palm that faced the sky, a golden light orb slowly formed on top of his palm.
It continued to condense, causing the golden light's luminosity to increase, eventually making them closed their eyes.
After a few seconds, the golden light orb's luminosity decreased, but what replaced it was two illusory golden dragons, one encircling Lin Shu, the other was on the orb.
Then, Lin Shu smashed the orb, causing golden laser-like light to spread, then landed on each disciple's eyebrows.
"I hereby welcome you to my Lin Shu sect!" Lin Shu shouted causing the cheers and applause of the disciples below him. Some even teared up since they know for the fact that this is now the chance to completely change their life's directory.
Before he flies away, he reminded them: "This is just a fraction of the first volume of Ancestral Golden Dragon manual. To officially get it, you must prove your strength to me." Then he vanished before their eyes leaving only his back's afterimage.
But, one of them received the full first volume of the Ancestral Golden Dragon manual.
It was Song Wen. It's not because of his favouritism, but because of her talent.
...
Lin Shu on the other hand is gonna take, yet another retreat, he used the Multiplier to change it's exchange. Which are:
[Multiplier: 3,673x(Free: 1,103x)]
[Low-Tiered Magic Stone - 1000/min (8.98%)] -- [0.33x Multiplier(1/min)]
[Middle-Tiered Magic Stone - 30/min (26.95%)] -- [33x Multiplier(1/min)]
[High-Tiered Magic Stone - 5/min (53.12%)] -- [250x Multiplier(1/min)]
Of course, he left one thirds to continuously replenish the Aura in his Hidden World.
When he appeared on top of his temple, he sat cross-legged down in the centre in which, piles of stones were in placed. To be precise, these stones are Mid-Tiered, since if he used the Lower ones, the depletion is 10x quicker, which he finds quite tiring to replace. Above him were the Giant Sky-Swallowing Array which continuously pours the Aura in this temple, but, the most concentrated part, is obviously, where it lands before covering the entire temple. In which he's on.
Starting on cultivating, whirls of winds started above him, followed by the sudden change of the originally sunny sky, now it turned into a thunderstorm. These black clouds formed a giant circular shape above the sky. In the centre of that lies a golden beam of light that lands on Lin Shu.
Eventually, when he started, a giant, golden illusory dragon enveloped the top of the mountain which frightened the disciples, but when they found out that it was the work of their Sect Master, they gradually calmed down, but deep inside, their turbulent heart did not calmed down. Instead, it was excitement, excitement that they made the right choice of joining this sect. Especially those geniuses of sects, and other groups of organization who took a gamble on whether or not joining this sect will benefit them better than what they used to.
Closing their eyes, they went back on cultivating.
Deeper inside the temple lies Song Wen, and the other 7 core disciple of the sect.
One was floating in the air cross legged, on her back was a phoenix's wings that occasionally spits out fire, and on her smooth, white forehead was a fire symbol of some kind.
Her name is Guo Xiaohui. A core disciple of Sun Liu, when Sun Liu found her high fire affinity talent, she directly made Guo Xiaohui her core disciple. Under her guidance, when she first used her fire to make her first pill, Sun Liu saw a hint of horror. It was Phoenix Fire, one of the top 100 in the Fire Leaderboard, in which she gave her a special type of pill that awakens a certain percentage of her affinity. What she did not expect was that she also has the bloodline of the Phoenix's race. Although the concentration is not that high. But still, that's the Phoenix Race! One of the top heavenly races in the Thousand Myriad Realms.
