"Every sect will be given a certain amount of slots depending on their results from the previous competition, and we managed to secure 3 slots for this year’s Mystic Realm," Long Yijun said.
"One of those spots will be given to you. Of course, we’re not going to ask you to participate without anything in return, so we’ll give you full access to the Profound Pavilion, where you can learn all kinds of techniques between the Mortal-rank to Earth-rank. There are also a few Heaven-rank techniques available, but you’ll need to be accompanied by one of us in order to access those."
"Furthermore, whatever you obtain from the Mystic Realm, we’ll let you keep them. Normally, the disciples are required to hand in the treasures they find inside the Mystic Realm, but we’ll make it an exception for you."
"What do you think? Are you willing to participate in the Mystic Realm for the Dragon Essence Temple?" Long Yijun asked him afterward.
Yuan nodded without hesitation, "Sure. I don’t mind participating."
Since there was no reason for him to refuse, and he was curious about this Mystic Realm, Yuan accepted their request.
"Great! Then let’s talk about the Dragon Temple. The Dragon Temple is a mythical place discovered by our Founder, Long Chen, and he built the Dragon Essence Temple around it in order to protect it. It’s a mysterious place with many challenging tests, and you’ll be rewarded for passing those tests."
"The only reason why we are not sending more disciples in there is simply because it requires a tremendous amount of resources and effort to open the place for even a single person, and there’s a high chance the Dragon Temple might refuse entrance if you are not talented enough, hence why we only allow those who have exceptional results during the disciple examination to enter the Dragon Temple." Long Yijun explained to him.
"You wish to enter the Dragon Temple, right?"
"Yes, I do." Yuan nodded.
"Then I’ll immediately start preparing for it now. It should be ready for you shortly after the Mystic Realm if I begin now— that’s just how much effort is required to open it."
"Do you have any questions for us?" Long Yijun asked him a moment later.
"No, not really..." Yuan shook his head.
"Good, then we can finally—"
"Wait a second!"
Elder Shan suddenly interrupted Long Yijun.
"What’s the matter, Elder Shan?" They looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"We still haven’t decided on who should be Yuan’s Master, and I would like to volunteer," she said with a stern expression on her face.
"Disciple Yuan, you are not limited to just sect elders, you know? If you want, I can also accept you as my disciple," Long Yijun suddenly said.
"Though, with your monstrous comprehension abilities, I doubt any of us will be your Master for long," he continued with a bittersweet smile on his face. freёwebnoѵel.com
Sometime later, Elder Shan asked Yuan, "What do you think, little brother? Who do you want as a Master?"
"Uhhh..."
After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke, "Since I cannot really decide, can I just accept all of you as my Master?"
"You want all of us? My, you’re quite the greedy one, but that’s fine too." Elder Shan chuckled after hearing his answer.
"Can I not have more than one Master?" Yuan asked.
"Although not very common, it’s normal for disciples to have more than one Master at a time since it’s not possible to learn everything from one Master. Though I don’t think there has been a disciple who has had the Sect Master and many high-ranking sect elders as Master simultaneously before..." Elder Xuan said to him.
"Then again, you are not a normal disciple, and there’ll always be a first for everything— just like how you’d demonstrated during the disciple examination."
