Kapitel 6: To The Sect

Hearing the words from the elder, all the disciples nodded excitedly

Han Cai's father moved forward, came near Hong Guo, handed him a pouch and pointed at Han Cai "This is my son Elder Hong, please take good care of him". Han Dai knew even though the elder was a cultivator, still he was at the lower realm and he traveled a lot doing the sect's work in the yin kingdom so he would always accept money offerings. The mayor had told him specifically on how to please the elder. It would make the life of Han Cai a little easier in the sect.

Hong Guo nodded and took the pouch. Han Cai knew the pouch contained another 100 gold coins. He knows his father is not leaving any stone unturned to make sure his son is treated well. Seeing Cai's father's actions, Some relatives of other disciples also moved forward and offered pouch to Hong Guo. The elder accepted all the pouches and nodded to them. Han Cai knew none of them might have offered a good sum of hundred gold coins like his father did.

After giving the pouch to the elder, Han Dai told Han Cai to get into the carriage. Han Cai saw the two yellow-robed disciples get into the first carriage; he followed them and got on the first carriage. Once all new disciples were settled in the two carriages. The elder got back on the first carriage and asked the coachman to move forward.

The carriage continued its journey all day. The next morning, they reached the Soaring Mountain Range. Han Cai could see a massive mountain range ahead with lush greenery. The air felt twice as fresh compared to his home in the eagle trail town. When they reached the bottom of one of the hills in the mountain range, they saw a massive gate with a Crane and clouds carved on it. Below it was written Soaring Sky Sect. There were few guards at the gate, and they were dressed in black and red uniforms. When they saw an elder in the carriage, they allowed the carriages to pass through the gates.

Passing through gates, the carriages continued upwards. Han Cai and other disciples could see many disciples working, and walking around in the mountain range. Most just like them looked like teenagers. There were very few who looked around the age of 20. Some were cleaning; some were carrying herbs and doing odd jobs. In the beginning, most of the disciples they saw had worn gray robes. As they moved forward, they started seeing more yellow robes of disciples wandering around. The carriage kept moving for a few hours and finally stopped in front of a building. On the building there was a wooden board sign carved Outer Sect Hall on it.
