The Medallion

"I have been traveling in pursuit of an opportunity to make a name for myself. When I heard that your clan was holding a spiritual root test that could ensure the entrance to the holy land of the spiritual race called the Ethereal Valley, I came here to try my luck," Rocky readily replied. Although he had made-up answers, they weren't entirely a lie.

The young master interviewed him some more, and Rocky calmly responded to all his queries.

When the young master had finished talking to him, he turned to Vivian and asked the same series of questions. She gladly answered each one just as well.

The young master looked surprised as he heard their stories. He then turned to glance at Vivian and Rocky and finally asked, "Are you both willing to join our clan?"

"It would be an absolute honor!" Rocky uttered sincerely.

Meanwhile, Vivian opted to nod in response instead.

"Very well. From now on, you are members of the Wankong Clan. As such, you must dedicate yourselves to our clan till the end of your lives. Bear that in mind, for our clan allows no betrayal." The young master made sure he was heard loud and clear as he made the declaration.

"Understood! Thank you, young master." Rocky made an obeisance by cupping his hands. It seemed that their plan went quite smoothly. The only thing that confused him at the moment was that neither the middle-level Spiritual Emperor nor the young master disclosed the level of his spiritual root to him or the public.

Of course, along with the other candidates, Rocky felt baffled. Nonetheless, since the young master had already announced his qualification, no one dared to raise a question.

"Now, both of you, come with me." The young master motioned for Rocky and Vivian to follow him.

Without a second thought, they went with him, leaving behind the other candidates who still gazed at each other in confusion.

Before long, they found that the young master had led them into a courtyard with two houses.

"As of today, this will be your home. Please stay in this yard and don't go anywhere else without my permission," the young master specified.

Rocky and Vivian promptly nodded in agreement.
