Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"You are already a core disciple. So, I don't have to worry about you. I am taking this girl with me. So that, I can look after her and find a solution for her problem", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"Qingyue, will you stay with me?", she looked towards Zhan Qingyue for hearing her opinion. "Senior, thank you. I will consider myself fortunate if I can receive guidance from you", Zhan Qingyue spoke.

"Zhan Chen, keep it with you. It is my personal token. You can show it in the sect's treasury whenever you need cultivation material", Zhan Wu Li spoke and threw a golden token towards Zhan Chen.

"Little friend, I am thinking about giving you a token. But seems like, it is not necessary anymore. You can have these communication tailsman instead. You can inform me directly, if you face any problem", Fu Deming spoke.

Zhan Wu Li bade farewell after handing the golden token to Zhan Chen. Zhan Qingyue and Fu Deming left with her as Zhan Chen was only one who remained on the testing ground.

"It is good to know that my family still has another ancestor. The more of them show up, the more I will be assured about the safety of my Zhan family", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"The only matter I have to focus now is my cultivation. I have joined the Xuantian sect to improve my cultivation in the first place", Zhan Chen further contemplated.

"Junior brother Chen", one of the five sword fairies called out after seeing Zhan Chen descending from the hill. Zhan Chen smiled and walked towards the sword fairies who were standing along with Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.

"Zhan Chen, has the seniors left?", one of the elders from the Xuantian sect asked Zhan Chen. "Yes, they have already left", Zhan Chen replied.

"Those seniors have exalted status in our sect. Zhan Chen, you are extremely fortunate that you have some connection with them", Nu Hao spoke.

"Then again you are a core disciple. With your status, no sane cultivator will try to find trouble with you", Nu Hao added.

"Junior brother, I am Xia Mei"

"Junior brother, I am Ru Hui"

"I am Su Zhen"

I am Nie Hua

"I am Qiao Ting", the five sword fairies introduced themselves one by one. Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min also introduced themselves as they talked with five sword fairies on their way.

"Junior brother, you should learn some basic privileges, the core disciple enjoy in our sect. If you want, I can explain them to you", the leader of the five sword fairies, Xia Mei offered to Zhan Chen.

"Senior sister, please tell me. I want to learn as much as I can before we reach the sword peak", Zhan Chen replied.

"You most have already learned, we have three types of disciples in our sect. They are Outer court disciples, inner court disciples and the core disciples.

The inner court disciples have huge advantages over the outer court disciples and the same can be told for the core disciples as they have huge advantage over the inner court disciples.

Generally, there are factions among the disciples and most of the outer court disciples and inner court disciples are part of one faction or other. Core disciples generally do not take part in these factional struggles but everyone knows that most of the powerful factions has core disciples as their backers.

In terms of resources and influence, these factions hold sway and even the sect elders are wary of these powerful factions. If you want stable resources then you most find a powerful faction to join. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a firm foothold in the sect", Xia Mei spoke.

'Oh, there is such interesting internal matters. I wonder if I have to join a faction or not', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Junior brother if you want you can join our faction. Our faction is a small one but it is still considered powerful in the Xuantian sect. The only problem is that most of the members in our faction are females. So, your reputation may take a hit if you join us", Xia Mei spoke.

"Most of the members are females! Looks like an interesting faction.

I will consider joining after knowing the details", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Junior brother, you can take your time. Faction leader will be happy if she comes to know that a core disciple wants to join us", Xia Mei spoke.

"The other privileges the core disciples enjoy are their free access to cultivation facilities. They are entitled to enter any cultivation facilities without paying any sect points. Although, there is a limitation but it is still the most coveted privilege that a core disciple enjoy.

There is also other benefits. They can choose a mountain of their own and that can be considered the private property of the said disciple.

The core disciples also enjoy privileges from the alchemy peak and Blacksmith peak. In short, they are the most privileged group of our Xuantian sect. Except the ancestoral peak, they can go anywhere in the Xuantian sect", Xia Mei informed.

They kept talking with eachother and after walking for almost an hour, they finally stopped. There was a lofty peak appeared infront of them and Zhan Chen knew immediately that they had arrived infront of the sword peak.

'There is a sword intent here. Moreover, from this feeling I can tell that it is left behind by a formidable expert', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Junior brother, this is the sword peak where we sisters cultivate. You can take a look with us if you want", Xia Mei invited.

"Senior sister, I will definitely visit the sword peak but before that I want to find a dwelling place for myself. After that I will visit whenever I have time because the mountain I am going to pick will be a close one to the sword peak", Zhan Chen replied.

"Hmm, that is a good idea. Please wait here for a while. I will inform my master and he will send someone to assist you in choosing a mountain", Xia Mei spoke. All the sword fairies bade farewell to Zhan Chen's group and climbed the stairs to the sword peak. Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min after the sword fairies left.

Girls, it is only four of us now. Moreover, Li Shu is going to leave soon. I will send away her personally to the Weapon refinement union after things settled here a little.

"So, the only ones who will accompany me are you two. I want to here whether you two want to stay with me or cultivate by your own", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Yan and Kai Min.

"Young master, I will do as you say. My goal is already fulfilled after joining the Xuantian sect. So, it doesn't matter which ever place I get to cultivate. I just want to improve my cultivation and break through to the Core condensation realm", Kai Min spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head and looked towards Li Yan.

"Zhan Chen, if it is possible can I join the sword peak? I know I am not yet an inner court disciple. But for some reason, I feel that I will improve greatly if I cultivate in this peak", Li Yan spoke.

"She can also feel the sword intent!", Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment because the sword intent in the sword peak was completely hidden. No ordinary cultivator would feel it unless he or she had some attainment in the sword path.
