Disciple Died Yet Again (1-199)

Chapter 10: Meeting the Little Turnip Again

The reason why Li Lin came up to the mountain this time, was to look for Zhu Yao, have her undergo the sect's entry procedures, and receive her own identity jade tablet. Every new disciple of the Ancient Hill Sect had to undergo lectures about the sect for a month, something that was similar to an induction programme. Then, the various Mountains would select a couple of people with good potentials as Inner Sect disciples. Those who were not selected, would enter the Outer Sect, and only after they built their Foundation, would they enter the Inner Sect. However, these people might not be taken in as disciples by the Mountain Lord. Initially, Zhu Yao had to undergo the same process as well, but, her Spirit Vein was too unique. Hence, she did not have to undergo the same process, and was immediately taken in as a disciple, a personal succeeding disciple at that.

Li Lin looked at the divine imprint, which could only belong to personal succeeding disciples, on Zhu Yao's forehead, and could not help but feel envious in his heart. Usually, practitioners would only have a single personal succeeding disciple, and unless the disciple were to die, there would be no other successors. However, how could he blame her for being a Lightning Spirit Vein holder?

As Zhu Yao did not know how to use a flying sword, Li Lin had no choice but to take out that giant piece of leaf he used back then, and carried her to the Main Mountain.

"Grand-martial aunt, please, this way." Li Lin guided Zhu Yao into the hall, his manner was so respectful, she was starting to feel a little embarrassed.

"It's fine if you just call me Zhu Yao." It kind of felt strange being called grand-martial uncle by someone of about the same age.

Li Lin simply smiled, he did not reject it, nor did he dare to directly accept her request, and simply said a few words to someone who seemed to be the manager of this hall. The expression of that aged uncle instantly tensed up. He wobbly walked over to her, gave her a huge bow, and called out, "Ancestral Grand-martial aunt!"

Zhu Yao: "......"

"Grand-martial aunt, you do not need to care about it too much. In the cultivation world, one's superiority is dependant on one's level of cultivation. Since you're Sovereign Yu Yan's disciple, this sort of situation will be a usual occurrence in the future." Li Lin gave some consoling words and guided her to a chair at the side. He then had the uncle leave to do his own work, and continued to explain to her. "Jade Forest Mountain's identity jade tablet will require some time to finish, so I have to humbly ask Grand-martial aunt to wait here for a short moment."

Zhu Yao nodded. Sitting on the chair, she curiously looked at her surroundings. This place should be a junction specialized in dealing with matters regarding the sect, and there were not many people. Occasionally, there would be one or two people charging towards Li Lin to greet him, and then, they would head to the place at the center similar to a counter. Sometimes, they would take out something, hand it over to the person at the counter, and leave after that.

"This is the place where missions are managed in our sect." Seeing that she was interested, Li Lin pointed to the tablets hanged around the room, and explained. "Our sect frequently issue out missions, and, as long as you have the ability, you can accept them. After you have completed your mission, you can receive contribution points from the sect, and use them to exchange for goods."

So it's an exchange market. Zhu Yao had a sudden realization, and once again, saw people entering the place and charging towards Li Lin, greeting him. There were people calling him senior martial-uncle, and there were people calling him ancestral senior martial-uncle. After they finished greeting him, they would also curiously look at Zhu Yao who was beside him, but they did not inquire about her.
