Hearing what Elena said both Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang showed a sowhat sad expression but were not surprised. The final objective of their journey was to reach the Tang nation's capital and now that they had fulfilled that objective, obviously now they had to part ways.
Elena had ntioned to her students several tis that she wanted her students to be free and independent. So it was very obvious that she would now tell them to create their own path in life.
"No need to look so sad. It's not like we are never going to et again. Hmm, let's see, just think that you two will be out doing a mission for ."
Now both of them tilted their heads and asked - "Mission ?"
"Yes, I will give both of you a mission to fulfill. When you will be able to complete that mission then I will co to et you. How about that ?"
"Amazing master. So what will be my mission ?"
"Hmm, for Yan'er I have 3 small missions and 1 large mission. Your first small mission is to reach the White Rock county capital safely alone. Then your second small mission will be to subjugate a monster stronger than yourself and to make it obey you. And your last small mission is to learn a crafting profession like an alchemist or a refiner or any of the other choices."
"But master, I don't think I will be able to get any good professionals in the White Rock county capital who would be willing to teach ."
"Don't worry, I will install a special function in your virtual simulator which will let you learn and practice any profession. And for completing each small mission I shall give you a reward. And your big mission will be to reach the final stage of your martial arts manual. When you will be able to do that I will co to et you myself."
Hearing Elena Lin Yan once again beca happy and hyped. Then Xiang Xiaofang asked -
"Teacher Elena, what about ?"
"Yes, for you I had 5 small missions and 1 large mission. You need to defeat one of the overlords from the Swamp of Obnoxious Purple. You also have to make the Hell's Paradise sect submit to you. Then you need to find a rare flower called "Noizara". Then you need to completely master the martial arts manual that I gave you. And finally you should be able to use fist aura. That's all for your small missions."
"Teacher Elena, if the small missions are so hard then what about my large mission ?"
"Are you kidding ? The three other overlords we did not co across are not as strong as the ones we saw, so it is not very hard for you to defeat it. The Hell's Paradise sect also has no one at the Saint rank, so it is probably going to be your easiest mission. And the flower I ntioned is definitely rare but there are several ways to find it. And if you can't use your brain for such a simple task them just kill yourself with a block of tofu. And the last two missions are simply the direction you need to take in your training so that is also easy. Hmph."
"Sorry sorry, teacher. Now what will be my large mission ?"
"Hmm, for your large mission, you need to fulfill your childhood dreams and then you have to invite for a sumptuous al in your royal palace. Do you understand ?"
Hearing his mission, Xiang Xiaofang nodded with a determined expression on his face. He would definitely fulfill his childhood dreams and would beco a good king.
...
The very next day, both Xiang Xiaofang and Lin Yan left the Tang Dynasty royal capital city. Elena asked them to take a break of a day or two to sightsee the capital and then leave but both of them insisted on leaving as soon as possible as they wanted to fulfill their mission as fast as possible to et her once more.
Lin Yan went to a nearby city and from there he would try to go back to the White Rock county capital city. On the other hand Xiang Xiaofang went to the Swamp of Obnoxious Purple to try his luck.
...
After bidding goodbye to her students Elena went back to the inn. She was going to stay in the capital for so ti and was thinking about what she should do here. She had several options.
She could contact the royal family mber nad Tang Chutian and have a royal reception as Elena, an S rank adventurer. Or she could take care of a little insect who was behind the bullying incident of the honest rchant Li Xiashen. But none of those options gave Elena much attraction. So she decided to do sothing very interesting.
When Elena was still in her ho world of EARTH, she had a hobby of reading various kinds of books. That included various online novels too. So of those novels were of the eastern fantasy genre and had the concept of cultivation sects. So Elena wanted to experience the life of a person who had joined such a sect.
The Tang Dynasty royal capital had many sects from smaller ones to larger ones. So Elena decided to join one of the sects incognito as a disciple to experience the life of a sect disciple.
After making her decision, Elena left the inn to gather so information. According to the information she managed to collect, three sects were holding a disciple accepting ceremony in the current week. So she could choose to join any of these three sects.
Those three sects were Grand Blue sect which was a sowhat large cultivation sect with several grandmasters, Erald Palace which was technically a dium sect but their sect master was a high level grandmaster, so the prestige of this sect was quite high and finally the last sect nad Pure Secret sect. Even though it had a fancy na, this sect was a small sect that did not even have a Grandmaster rank powerhouse in it.
After thinking about her choices for so ti, Elena decided to choose the Erald Palace. She chose it because the other two places were not as appealing as this one in Elena's opinion. The Grand Blue sect was filled with factions and infighting so it was very unstable. And the founder of the small Pure Secret sect was an arrogant and foolish young master, who was playing around with his family's money. So Elena had no intention of choosing this sect.
The disciple accepting ceremony of the Erald Palace was 3 days later, so until then Elena just decided to play in the capital and enjoy what this extrely large place had to offer.
...
One area of the large capital was bubbling with excitent today. It was mostly because the famous Erald Palace was holding a disciple accepting ceremony today. This sect was not a large sect but just a dium sized one, but the prestige of this sect was very high as the sect master was a very famous person.
His na was Kuang Luoshi and he was a close friend of the current ruler of the Tang Dynasty. This man was also a high level grandmaster and was one of the strongest people in this nation. For that reason many people were very interested in joining the Erald Palace as its rise was almost certain.
Elena also joined the rank of hopeful young people who wanted to try their luck in this disciple accepting ceremony in the hope that they would be selected. Currently Elena had taken the form of a girl of about 14 or 15 years and he features were very common and unassuming.
Elena did not want to attract too much attention in the sect and just wanted to enjoy the sect life of an average disciple, so she did not take a good looking form and instead took the form of a very average looking girl.
This was an immortal cultivation sect so the first thing that checked for the young people was if they had an affinity or not. People without affinities were imdiately rejected and went back ho in sadness. Elena obviously easily cleared this round.
For the rest round the quality of the affinity was asured. Elena showed an average amount of affinity and easily passed this round too with a very normal result.
In the next round the comprehensive ability of a person was asured using a simple test. Elena was not sure what an average result for this test would be so she waited for others to finish and calculated their results. Then she correctly answered just enough questions to get marks that would be in the middle among all the test takers.
The fourth and the final round was a simple trial to judge a person's willpower and heart using an illusion formation. Elene manipulated the formation to give her a normal score after perfectly understanding. The formation itself was in charge of scoring the disciples so it was very easy for her to do.
And with her perfect control Elena was able to beco a normal outer sect disciple of the Erald Palace. Her score was very normal so she just managed to beco a common disciple without any privileges and that was exactly what she wanted to be.
So, just like that, Elena's life as a sect disciple started.
