Chapter 47 - 45: The Eldest Apprentice Brother
"One must always be cautious of others; when traveling outside, be extra careful." The Great Elder looked at the young disciple with reluctance in his heart, but he was helpless to change anything. To grow, one cannot always have smooth sailing, especially since, even though he was only eight years old, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment. According to the sect’s rules, it was indeed time for him to experience the outside world.
Ye Qiu took the storage bag handed to him by his Master and nodded solemnly. Clasping the long sword in his hand tightly, he bade his Master farewell.
The place he was heading to was called Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm, a training ground exclusive to their sect. It was filled with Spirit Plants and spiritual beasts, yet it lacked large demon beasts for hunting, making it a traditional training ground for Sword Pavilion’s Foundation Establishment Disciples.
But who could have imagined that in such a secret realm, thoroughly explored by senior members of the sect, there would actually be hidden one of the Five Spirits - Mu Ling!
The purpose of Ye Qiu’s trip to Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm was not only self-improvement but also for this newly sprouted Little Wood Spirit.
Joining Ye Qiu were over twenty other Foundation Establishment Disciples from the sect. Some, like him, had just completed their Foundation Establishment and were enjoying their first complimentary entry, while others had already been once and were returning in search of treasures after exchanging points.
Relatively speaking, the latter had a greater chance than the former.
However, one can never be certain with luck. If the latter had strong luck, they wouldn’t have remained at the Foundation Establishment Stage for years, needing to enter again with points to seek new opportunities.
Ye Qiu and the other twenty or so fellow disciples stood on the Transmission Array. The destination was random; those with good luck might end up in a valley full of Spiritual Medicine, while those with bad luck could be sent to the vast desert, possibly unable to find their way out for days or weeks.
Ye Qiu’s luck was not too bad; perhaps due to his Thunder Spirit Root, he was transmitted beside a lake where lightning flashed and thunder roared.
