Just as a hint of surprise appeared on Liu Ming's face, a faint male voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Which lineage's disciple are you, and do you have a token to enter the Spiritual Pool? If not, go back the way you came!"
Liu Ming's heart chilled upon hearing this. But he immediately bowed and replied:
"Liu Ming, a disciple under the Jiuying Mountain lineage, greets the senior. The disciple plans to enter the Spiritual Pool for one month, and I have already brought the opening token with me."
After he finished speaking, he immediately took out a pale silver token from his bosom and held it up with both hands.
"Oh, since you have the opening token, naturally you can stay. However, I need to check it for authenticity before taking you to the location of the Spiritual Pool," the man said with a calmer voice.
Following that, "thump thump" footsteps came from the stairway entrance, and a man in a white scholar's robe walked down calmly from the second floor.
