Chapter 21: Henrick's goals

"Why do you think the sect leader suddenly took in two personal disciples?"

In a room that was lit up by a few fire torches, an old man seriously said to the other cultivators in front of him.

The old man had a bald head and wore a plain red coloured robe and the people around him were also wearing the exact same coloured red robe.

"The first elder, there is something wrong with the sect leader," another old man, who looked thin, replied to the earlier old man while addressing him as the first elder.

That's right!

All the cultivators in the room were the outer sect elders, who gathered to discuss the actions of their sect leader.

At the same time, they were angry at their sect leader because they wanted to take Henrick and Nick as their personal disciples; however, now they didn't have any chance to tempt them to become their personal disciples.

"But isn't it a good thing for the sect leader to take in personal disciples? He will train them well and then our outer sect will have another two genius disciples," A middle-aged man opposed the thoughts of the first elder.

Hearing that, the first elder stroked his bald head and tried to control his anger.

"Tenth, you are out," Without a moment of hesitation, the bald first elder pointed his finger at the exit and asked the tenth elder to leave the room.

Before he left, the tenth elder glanced at the first five elders of the outer sect and chuckled to himself.

"Damn this, tenth, he is becoming braver and braver and opposing us every time we gather for a meeting," the fifth elder, who had a huge scar on his face angrily said when he saw how the tenth leader was behaving at them.

"Calm down, fifth," the first elder asked the fifth elder to calm down before saying to the whole group of elder, "Thos who want to leave, can leave now."

After saying that he calmly looked at all the elders and waited for some time.

It didn't take much long before four more elders left the room.

All four of them were middle-aged men who were in their early thirties and they glanced at the other elders just like the way the tenth elder looked at them.

After they left the room, only five old elders were remaining the room with irritated expressions on their faces.

"Damn these newly promoted elders, we need to show our real power,"

All the five old elders started discussing something while cursing the 5 elders that left them with a smirk on their faces.

Just like they said, the last five elders were promoted a few years when the main sect leader asked them to increase the sect elders from five to ten.

Nevertheless, the five old-timers, as usual, cursed the outer sect leader, newly promoted elders and everything about the sect that dissatisfied them.

...…..

In the dormitory of the working disciples,

'Ding,

Low-level fire element sensing fruit x 3

Before going to sleep, the system finally sent the rewards for the daily mission that he didn't complete today.

'If only the fruits are little tastier,'

Although he complained in his heart, he ate one fruit for himself before giving the two fruits to the baby fire monkey.

'Eek eek'

As usual, the baby fire monkey was excited at the fruits and hurriedly swallowed them and went to sleep.

'Mom, from tomorrow onwards, I will be an outer sect disciple,' Henrick rested on his bed and thought about his mother.

'I wonder, did she go to sleep already?' Thinking about her mother, a smile unconsciously appeared on Henrick's face.

'Also, why are they keep looking at me as though they want to eat me alive,' Looking at his roommates, Henrick covered himself with a blanket and thought in his head.

As soon as he came to his dormitory, he was congratulated by his roommates for becoming the personal disciple of the outer sect leader and started their bootlicking.

What Henrick hated the most was this kind of behaviour. That thinking about making him sick.

'They didn't even properly talk with me for the past 10 months and all of a sudden, they were acting like we are close friends,'

Henrick shook his head and went to sleep.

Next day,

There were 30 working disciples, who were saying goodbyes to their fellow working disciples and walked towards the mountain.

'I think I will not have a chance to challenge another room in the old cursed building for a while,' Along the way, Henrick looked at an old building that changed his life...at least he thought it changed his life.

Previously there was a small fear in him about his dream of becoming an immortal cultivator; however, after understanding how great the system and the old cursed build was, he finally lost that fear and now he completely believed that as long as he tried hard enough, he could become an immortal cultivator.

'Eek eek'

At the same time, the baby fire monkey also shouted at the tree that it was used to sleep while Henrick worked as though it was saying its farewell.

"Don't worry, little one. We will come here again after some time," Henrick patted the baby fire monkey's small head and smilingly said before thinking, 'I should definitely come here to know what is inside those other rooms, anyway.'

For him, now there was another dream other than becoming an immortal cultivator. It was to see what was inside those other rooms and what was the history of the old cursed building? Why was it abandoned by the sect?

Like these, there were many questions in his head that he wanted to know the answers.

Soon, they reached the gate of the Twin fire mountain and looking at the gate, they were excited.
