Chapter 467: Come with me

Shun Long followed Elder Zhuan's gaze as his eyes landed on a huge black building with the words Administration Hall written on top of it, before Elder Zhuan's voice once again sounded in his ears

''Whether you want to create your own faction, obtain servants that will follow you inside the sect, obtain your sect uniform, or even find out where you are going to live in the sect from now on, you can only do so after you enter the Administration Hall!''

Without waiting for any questions, Elder Zhuan stepped forward, as he moved towards the huge black building in the distance.

After exchanging a few glances with each other, the disciples behind him didn't waste any time as they quickly followed after him.

The moment that he passed through the Administration Hall's gate and entered inside, Shun Long saw many different counters inside the hall, like the 'Faction registration' counter, the 'servant registration' counter, the 'living quarters' counter, as well as many others.

At the same time, at the center of the hall, he also saw the white-robed Elder Zhuan chatting with another white-robed old man who had almost no hair left on his head.

The moment that the 2 old men saw the disciples that entered inside, Elder Zhuan smiled at them and looked at the white-robed Elder next to him before he said

''Welcome to the Administration Hall. This old man here is Elder Zhi and he is the Elder responsible for this place.''

The white-robed Elder Zhi nodded his head with a relatively strict look on his face as he stared at the disciples that had just entered the Administration Hall, before he said seriously

''I don't think there are many things that this old man has to explain to you. If you want to pick a servant from the disciples that failed the third or the fourth test of the sect, apply it in the servant registration counter before you come to me. Otherwise, try not to disturb this old man for no reason.''

After he finished speaking, the white-robed Elder Zhi first nodded his head at Elder Zhuan, before he turned around and disappeared at the depths of the hall. It was obvious that he was not someone that was willing to hold a conversation for very long.

Elder Zhuan didn't seem to mind this, almost as if he was already used to Elder Zhi's behavior, as he turned his gaze and stared at the disciples that were standing in front of him instead, before he turned his attention towards the 'living quarters' counter a few tens of meters away from him and said

''Before you choose any servants or try to form your own faction, you should first register yourselves in the 'living quarters' counter and obtain an official identity inside the sect, your outer disciples' robes, as well as the place where you will live from now on. After that, you can go and find Elder Zhi if you want to obtain servants from the previous 2 tests. 

Aside from the Assignment Hall, the Enforcement Hall and the Administration Hall, remember that there are countless other places inside the sect as well, such as the 'Golden Treasures Hall' where you can even buy and sell all kinds of treasures, rare pills and even pill formulas that have gone extinct in your own continents, high-grade medicinal herbs, rare ores for formation masters to smelt and create powerful runes, and even high-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills.

Hehe, in the Golden Treasures Hall there is even a chance for you to find the second and even the third parts of the cultivation techniques and martial skills that you chose during the second test from the barrier of knowledge.''

Excited looks appeared on the disciples' faces when they heard this, while even Shun Long was moved by this.

The might of the first move of the 'Thundergod's slash' when paired with his black, star-rank sword had already exceeded his estimations during a fight.

Hearing that he would have a chance to find the second and the third parts of this Saint grade martial skill in the 'Golden Treasures Hall' made him eager to have a look at it.

However, the most important matter was still to first register themselves in the 'living quarters' counter and obtain the sect robes as well as a place where he and Liu Mei were going to live.

After queuing up with the rest of the disciples, it was Shun Long's turn to register himself barely 10 minutes later.

Since he wasn't hiding his cultivation, a shocked look appeared on the outer disciple's face behind the counter when she saw the handsome blue-robed young man's cultivation at the peak of rank 1 in the Nascent Soul.

However, she still nodded her head and extended her hand before she asked in a curious tone

''What's junior brother's name?''

After passing his Holy sect's token to the disciple in front of him, Shun Long nodded his head in greeting and said calmly

''Shun Long.''

The outer disciple in front of him obviously hadn't participated in the fourth test, so she had no idea who Shun Long was or how he had managed to pass the fourth test with such a low level of cultivation.

After using the help of a black jade to carve Shun Long's name on his Holy sect's token, she passed the golden-colored token back to him, as well as 3 different sets of yellow robes that the outer court disciples wore and said seriously

''As long as junior brother injects his qi in his sect identification token, you will be guided towards your own courtyard. Remember that each courtyard only has 3 rooms, one main room for you, and 2 rooms for your servants. Of course, if you want to obtain more than 2 servants, you can do so as well, but the sect won't give you a bigger room to accommodate them unless you become a member of a top faction and be awarded one in their areas. As for your outer court robes, if you end up damaging them, the sect can replace them for you, but you will have to pay a certain fee every time you do so.''

A shocked look flashed deep inside Shun Long's eyes when he heard about the benefits of being a member of a top faction, but he still nodded his head and cupped his hands at the young woman in front of him as he said

''Many thanks, senior sister.''

The outer court young woman behind the 'living quarters counter' cupped her hands in response and smiled lightly as she looked at Shun Long, who turned around and stared at the rest of the counters in the hall.

Although this young woman had no hope for any of these disciples -that came from the small continents that surrounded the central region- to ever enter the top factions, it was true that if one managed to enter a top faction, they would be awarded a much better room than the common ones.

After all, this was one of the benefits that the sect gave to the top factions.

Thus, as this was part of her job, she had to explain this to every single disciple that entered the sect for the first time, as a way to motivate them to strive to become stronger.

After Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi had their names carved in their sect identification tokens and obtained their outer court robes as well, the 2 women walked by Shun Long's side before Liu Mei asked curiously

''Long-ge, do you want to create a faction?''

Shun Long noticed that both Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi had sparkles in their eyes when Liu Mei asked this question, and even Liu Mei's veil was unable to conceal the curiosity and eagerness in her voice.

After thinking about it for a few moments, Shun Long nodded his head seriously before he said

''Probably. However, let's go to our courtyard first and check the place where we are going to be staying. Since this is the Holy sect, I am curious how good their courtyards really are.''

Seeing that Shun Long had no intention of obtaining a servant, the 2 girls nodded their heads genrly as they saw him inject his qi inside the sect identification token in his hands.

A thin white line created from his qi immediately appeared in his vision, guiding Shun Long outside the hall.

However, the moment that the 3 of them were about to walk outside of the hall, a young man in black robes suddenly appeared in front of Shun Long and the 2 girls, staring at him with a serious look on his face.

''Jiang Chen!''

This name appeared in Liu Mei's and Xie Xingyi's mind at the same time, as they stared at the young man in front of them warily, ready to fight if they really had to.

Although Jiang Chen was extremely strong, the 2 girls weren't weak by any means. Especially considering that Jiang Chen had already made use of his bloodline power, even with his higher cultivation, it was likely that he may not be stronger than Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi if the 2 girls joined hands to fight him.

Every single disciple inside the hall had suddenly stopped what they were doing, as they stared at the black-robed young man with curious looks in their eyes.

And yet, Shun Long actually smiled as he looked at the young man in front of him, before he said calmly with that same smile on his face

''Come with me!''
