Inside Cave Abode

The Sect master gestured for Han Cai to enter, and Han Cai stepped inside, his eyes wide with wonder and amazement. The Sect master smiled and said, "This is your new home. I know that you had to face a lot of challenges in the outer sect but don't worry. Nothing as such will happen again. This abode belonged to one of the ancestors of our sect, It is a great honor to be given a cave abode in the Inner Sect, and I know you will make the most of this opportunity. Remember, your training and cultivation are of the utmost importance, and I expect you to work hard and strive for greatness."

Han Cai Noticed some formations around the cave abode. The Sect master explained that a defense formation surrounds his cave abode, and he called it the "Dragon's Breath Formation." This formation is made up of multiple layers of protection that are activated by an array of spiritual stones embedded in the walls of the cave abode. The formation is designed to detect and repel any intruders or hostile forces that attempt to enter the cave abode without permission.

The first layer of the formation is a spiritual barrier that acts as a barrier to prevent any physical intrusion. The barrier can be adjusted to allow authorized personnel entry while keeping intruders out. The second layer is a spiritual sensor that can detect any spiritual fluctuations within a certain radius of the cave abode. This sensor is able to detect any cultivators or spiritual beasts that may be approaching the cave abode. The third layer is a spiritual alarm that will trigger if any unauthorized personnel or hostile forces are detected by the sensor.

The fourth layer of the formation is a powerful array of spiritual stones that are capable of creating a powerful blast of spiritual energy that can repel any intruders. The energy blast can be adjusted to be as powerful as needed to repel any threat to the cave abode. The fifth and final layer is a powerful concealment charm that can hide the cave abode from view and make it difficult to locate.

The Dragon's Breath formation is constantly active, and it is designed to protect the cave abode and the core disciple residing in it, and it's all controlled by a control stone located inside the cave. It's not only the outer defense, but it also has an inner defense mechanism that can be activated with the control stone. If any harm is directed toward the inner core disciple, the array will automatically inform the Sect master and elders about the danger. The sect master advised Han Cai to always keep the control stone with him and not reveal the control stone's location to anyone.

After explaining details about the cave abode to Han Cai, sect master gave Han Cai a Jade medallion; this was the inner core disciple medallion. The Jade Medallion is a small, circular disc made of jade, a precious stone known for its healing properties. The medallion is intricately carved with the symbol of the Sky Soaring Sect, a majestic crane soaring toward the sky. The symbol is surrounded by intricate patterns and symbols, each representing a different aspect of the sect's teachings and beliefs.

The medallion was not only a symbol of Han Cai's status as a core disciple of the sect but also served as a tool for cultivation. The jade used to make the medallion is imbued with spiritual energy, and when worn close to the body, it can help to nourish and strengthen the cultivator's own spiritual energy. The medallion also serves as a form of identification, allowing Han Cai access to restricted areas of the sect and proving his identity to other disciples and elders. The inner core medallion was also connected with the sect's main array, so wherever Han Cai was in the sect, the elders or sect master could always track and find him if he faced any danger.

.

He told Han Cai that his spirit stones reward would arrive by evening, as the foundation establishment pill would arrive in 2-3 days. After receiving the spirit stone rewards in the evening, he can go to the Library to select a good cultivation method and also he could select some good skill techniques. Once he was done with techniques sect master told Han Cai to visit him in the inner sect hall, and he would introduce Han Cai to his senior sister.

Hearing their senior sister, Han Cai, let his imagination run wild. Then he realized he was thinking like a simp. Han Cai thought it must be a trap by heaven testing his Dao heart by giving him a senior sister. How cliché, He needed to keep as much distance as possible.

After explaining everything to Han Cai, the sect master left.

When Han Cai first entered his cave abode, he was amazed by the luxurious and elegant design. He spent the first few hours exploring every inch of the cave, taking in the intricate carvings and sculptures that adorned the walls. He marveled at the comfortable bed and fine silk linens, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment for being awarded such prestigious living quarters.

There were also some external quarters for disciples who served core disciples; basically, they were servant's quarters. The sect master had asked Han Cai if he liked any outer sect disciples to serve him. The first thing Han Cai thought of was Kong Dandan. But later, he decided to bring the gray robes that used to serve him in the Ji faction. He is reasoning was simple, Kong Dandan would respect him for giving him an opportunity in the inner sect, but gray robes who have no future in the sect get to live in the inner sect they will worship him for the rest of their lives.

After exploring his cave abode, Han Cai decided to make use of the amenities that were available to him. He first visited the study rooms, where he spent hours pouring over books and scrolls, studying the sect's history and History of Yin Country.
