After packing up all of his belongings that Lian Chen had in his old hut, he set off towards the Inner Court where all the Inner Court Disciples reside.
Upon entering the Inner Court Palace, Lian Chen gaze swept around the hall, trying to find the attendant mentioned by Elder Lin Chuxuan.
Spotting a person dressed in the palace uniform, Lian Chen approached him with a respectful bow.
"Excuse me, I am Lian Chen. Elder Lin Chuxuan instructed me to seek an attendant who would guide me to my new lodging within the Inner Court." Lian Chen explained politely.
The attendant, named Feng Yun, nodded with a warm smile. "Ah, yes, you must be Lian Chen. Elder Lin Chuxuan has assigned me to assist you. Your lodging is not far from here. Let me show you the way."
As Lian Chen and Qin Fengyun walked through the grand corridors of the Inner Court, the atmosphere was filled with an air of anticipation and excitement. Fengyun, being a senior disciple, took the opportunity to enlighten Lian Chen about life in the Inner Court.
He explained that the Inner Court Disciples had various responsibilities and opportunities. They could undertake missions from the mission board, which offered a diverse range of tasks and challenges. These missions allowed disciples to gain valuable experience and rewards.
Fengyun also mentioned that unlike the Outer Court, Inner Court Disciples had the freedom to leave the confines of the Buddha Benevolent Sect. This freedom allowed them to explore the world, engage in encounters, and broaden their horizons.
Furthermore, Fengyun spoke of the ranking board, a central feature of the Inner Court. The ranking board showcased the strengths and achievements of the disciples, serving as a measure of their progress and reputation within the sect.
It was a testament to their cultivation and combat prowess, with the top-ranked disciples being held in high regard.
"Alright, we are here. This is your residence." Feng Yun pointed towards a courtyard that had Lian Chen's name on it.
"You have my thanks." Lian Chen clasped his hands before entering his residence.
Upon entering, Lian Chen saw the residence in the Inner Court was far superior to what he had experienced in the Outer Court. The courtyard was larger and more meticulously maintained, adorned with vibrant flowers and flourishing trees. The architecture boasted intricate designs and exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting the higher status and privileges of the Inner Court disciples.
Lian Chen carefully placed his belongings in their designated spots, while Xiao Huan took flight, gracefully soaring through the courtyard, eagerly acquainting herself with the unfamiliar environment.
As anticipated, there was a notable distinction between demonic beasts and humans. In just a matter of days, Xiao Huan had undergone a rapid transformation, sprouting robust wings that allowed her to glide through the air with elegance and dexterity.
Nevertheless, despite her impressive progress, she remained diminutive in size, far from reaching the stature of her fully grown mother.
As Lian Chen arranged his belongings and made himself at home, he took a moment to play with Xiao Huan, who was gradually growing in size.
Lost in thought, he pondered, "Hmm... You're getting larger day by day. I wonder how I should care for you in the future?" The question lingered in his mind as Xiao Huan affectionately pecked at him, bringing a smile to Lian Chen's face.
