Chapter 22 - Talismans
"Everyone, show your badges and enter the mountain,"
While they were excitedly waiting for the gate to be opened, they heard a cold voice from the gate.
"What?"
"Who is speaking?"
When they heard the voice, all the newly promoted outer sect disciples immediately became alert and hurriedly looked at the gate; however, they saw no one.
"Calm down brats, I am the great guardian gate of the twin fire mountain. With me here, no one from the outside can enter into the sect without permission...Haha," Once again the same voice came from the gate explaining about its existence.
Soon they saw a face-like structure on the wooden gate that made them fear; however, from the name, they knew that it was a guardian gate of the sect and it would not harm them.
"So, if you show your badges to me I will allow you to enter into the mountain," Without wasting any time, that face-like structure once again asked them to show the badges to enter the mountain.
Yesterday, after the assessment ended, all the 30 working disciples received an orange coloured badge from the grand elder.

While giving them, the grand elder said, "These are the proof that you are an outer sect disciple. And the most important thing is don't lose them."
Soon, one by one showed their badges and entered the Twin fire mountain.
"Everyone follows me to collect your uniform and other benefits, you get as an outer sect disciple," As soon as they entered the mountain, the same young man you guided them yesterday, showed up and asked them to follow him.
For a working disciple, there was no uniform; however, when he became an outer disciple, he had to wear the uniform given by the sect and that was the rule.
"Yes, senior brother,"
The uniform they were going to receive was not a normal uniform that was made of only cloth. It was a rank 1 artifact that could make them feel refreshed.
So, they excitedly nodded their heads and followed that young man without asking anything.
After walking for a few moments, they reached a simple building.
"Show your badges inside and receive the items," After saying that, the young man turned back and walked away from the way they came from.
"Let's go and take that rank 1 artifact," One of the disciples shouted and entered the simple-looking building to get his item.
And the rest of the disciples followed him.
Inside the building, a young man was sitting in a cross-legged position and when he saw Henrick and Nick come towards him, he opened his eyes and calmly asked, "Badges"
The young man had a long purple coloured hair with purple eyes that made all the disciples feel like they were falling into a deep abyss.
"Che"
The young man shook his head and closed his eyes when he saw they were not responding to him.
As soon as closed his eyes, Henrick and others became normal and hurriedly took out their badges to show the young man in front of them.
"Good, two higher regions, one middle region and 27 lower region cultivation abodes,"
Two their surprise, the young man started talking with his eyes closed all the time and they even wondered how he was able to tell the differences between the badges when they all looked exactly the same.
Nevertheless, they didn't ask him as they don't know how he would react.
The one thing they continuously muttered before entering the 'Twin fire mountain' was not to piss off the other cultivators.
"Once you become powerful, you will know. Until then, cultivate harder and become powerful," The young man gave them another surprise by replying to their inner thoughts and they hurriedly stopped thinking in their mind fearing that the young man in front of them could listen to their thoughts.
"Anyway, these are the keys to your cultivation abode," the young man continued to talk with his eyes closed when some 30 paper slips flew from behind him and fell into their hands.
'Woah'
All of them looked at the paper slips with confusion on their faces as they still wondered where the keys were.
"Don't look confused. Those are the talismans to enter your cultivation abodes and as long as you have them, no one can enter into your abodes without your permission," The young man clarified their confusion as though he knew what they were thinking and continued, "To simply say, as long as you have that talisman you will be the master of your cultivation abode."
'Wow'
Henrick and others looked at the green coloured paper in their hands and marvelled at the use of that small paper.
"And where is…..,"
"All the items that you are supposed to receive are already placed in your cultivation abodes and the talisman in your hands will guide you to your cultivation abodes,"
Before one of the disciples could ask about the robe and other things, the young man with the purple hair replied and pointed his hands towards the exit and said, "Now you can all go and find your cultivation abodes."
"Yes, Elder,"
Henrick and others hurriedly thanked the young man before leaving the simple-looking building.
'Haha...looks like this time, we have got some courageous outer sect disciples along with the two talented ones,' After Henrick and others left, the young man opened his eyes and laughed while thinking about them.
'I wonder, how those two are going to survive in the higher region cultivation abodes,' After thinking about that he closed his eyes and went back to his meditation.
…..
"How do we activate these talismans?"
Outside the simple-looking building, all the thirty disciples were looking at the talismans in their hands and wondered what they should do to guide them to their cultivation abodes.
"I know what to do,"
