"Kneel."
Mr. Xian's voice came from beside Li's ear, but the man had already turned into the pavilion and disappeared without a trace.
Li Pan also understood, knowing that this immortal was probably one of the founders of the sect, so he knelt down on the cushion before the shrine, honestly kowtowed nine times, performed the disciple's salute, and then entered the Inner Sect.
Upon entering the sect gate, the layouts of the three courtyards and nine rooms ahead were all exactly the same; the central courtyards were exceptionally spacious, flat and even like a martial arts training ground. The surrounding chambers were for quiet cultivation, with nothing inside but beds, tables, chairs, and meditation cushions—likely the abode of cultivators.
Passing through the three meditation halls, he came to a large academy, where the main hall was furnished with desks and tables, arranged much like a private school classroom.
