The light of a Teleportation Formation flashed and three figures appeared, Jiang Fu, Bai Jing, and Ying Ying.
There were two male disciples on standby near the formation, wearing dusty jade green sect uniforms.
Upon seeing the three figures the two disciples were immediately drawn towards Bai Jing.
They stared at her beautiful face, smitten. Their gazes gradually lowered, taking in the rest of her beauty.
As they lay eyes on her bare, flawless legs their throats began to dry. Their eyes glazed over as if they were in a fantasy, thoughts unknown.
"Ahemmm!"
The two were awoken from their daze by a cough from Jiang Fu.
Upon realizing the identity of the man who was standing next to Bai Jing, panic came over their faces.
They hurriedly bowed towards Jiang Fu with clasped fists, shouting.
"Greetings Vice-Sect Master!"
Their heads were lowered and cold sweat was running down their foreheads.
Seeing this Jiang Fu nodded proudly, taking a glance at Bai Jing, as if to say, "look at how I am respected within the sect".
Jiang Fu was in fact the Vice-Sect Master of the True Origin Sect. He would often brag to Bai Jing about it.
He would talk about how he almost became the Sect Master with some aid from Bai Kong. He talked about withdrawing from the competition because he preferred more freedom and to travel around the world in search of new geniuses.
"Follow me!"
Jiang Fu clasped his hands behind his back and walked out of the formation, an authoritative aura about him.
Bai Jing and Ying Ying followed behind, curiously looking at the surroundings.
They could immediately tell they were very high up in the sky, above the clouds. Standing atop some giant, flat mountain top.
The True Origin Sect is based on and around a gargantuan mountain.
This mountain easily pierced through the clouds and continued higher into the sky.
The mountain had no peak, instead it seemed as if the top was cleanly sliced off. On top the mountain were various sect buildings and other structures.
Looking further upwards, in the sky, Bai Jing could see what appeared to be the former peak of the mountain. It floated there, high above, inversed with the peak pointing down.
'This world is truly enormous!'
Training her gaze back down, Bai Jing could see a large building that read "Alchemy Pavilion" and another that read "Beast Hall". There were many more of such structures at the top of the mountain.
"This is Origin Mountain where the main sect is located. All the halls, lectures, among others are held here." Jiang Fu was introducing the sect as he walked around.
"Most of the outer sect disciples are based on the mountain, where many cave abodes and huts scattered around for them."
"That's the Beast Hall, it is for beast tamers to join. They also handle transportation for disciples, as well as renting and purchasing various beasts."
"Over there is the Disciplinary Hall, a ruthless bunch. Even I don't have much sway there, so don't get yourself into trouble. You will receive a book of sect rules in a minute. Make sure you two thoroughly read and remember it." Jiang Fu turned to look at the two young women when he said this, making sure they heard him.
The two gave a nod in understanding.
"Oh, this is...."
"And over there..."
As Jiang Fu brought the girls along, talking about the various sights, the three attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding disciples.
....
"Who are they? They are not wearing the sect uniform, are they new disciples?"
"I thought the new disciples wouldn't join for a few more days?"
"Oh my, that is the Vice-Sect Master! I saw him once before."
"It's my first time seeing Vice-Sect Master Jiang, I heard he's always traveling in search of geniuses to bring over."
"Does that mean those two girls are geniuses? I wonder how talented they are?"
"Wow they sure are beauties!"
"Woah look at the tall beauty! I think I'm in love!"
"She's the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!"
"Is that an Immortal Fairy!"
"My Goddess!"
"Look at her showing off her legs and feet like that. I bet she's been around."
"Hey, don't you dare speak ill of my new Goddess!
"Yah, she might just be from some other continent. Vice-Sect Master does travel everywhere after all!"
"Her face is perfect, and those lips. I have a new goal in life!"
"Huh? That's..."
"It's no use, this is true love! I must break up with Junior Sister, she can't hold a candle to that immortal-like Fairy!"
"You are all fools, you stand no chance with her. Look at how indifferent she looks! She is definitely a cold beauty type! However, the girl next to her is also a beauty and it seems like they know each other. She is a much easier target, plus if you happen to succeed you get to spend time with that immortal like beauty as well, and with enough time who knows what may happen between you two." An average looking youth spoke while rubbing his chin, giving his advice to the surrounding disciples.
"Junior brother what's your name? You will certainly have great achievements in the future."

"Pan Yuze is the name senior brother. My talent is not the best but I have pride in my analytical ability. I hope senior can help me in the future. I can even provide you with more information on those girls as well as others."
"Oh Junior Brother Yuze is certainly intelligent, and you know your limit. With your cultivation base you can't tell but that girl is certainly under twenty, yet has already reached Late-stage Foundation Establishment. As for that indifferent, fairy-like woman, I can't even tell her cultivation level. She must at least be at the Core Formation stage. Come let's talk some more in private."
"Senior Brother is also wise!"
"Look at those two scheming weasels a true man chases the impossible!"
"That's right a true man will overcome all and never settles!"
"Slurp, those feet though! They are too holy to touch mortal ground. I should lay on the ground and let her walk on me instead." A certain depraved disciple said while licking his lips.
"Haha, do it and I will give you ten mid grade spirit stones! Go! Go!"
"Naïve! Look at how tall she is, her feet are far too big for my taste. The other girl though, I would happily let her step all over me."
"How ignorant you are Senior. The bigger the better is the true path! Can you imagine just one foot covering your entire face, smothering it? That is a true man's dream!"
"Give up, that's nothing but a dream. You guys don't stand a chance!"
"People's dreams... have no end! Isn't that right?!"
"Hahah we got a crazy one over here."
"Humpf! All you men are like Demonic Pigs, I will defiantly protect this new Disciple from these flies!"
"You tell them sister! I will join you!"
"Haaa, if only I could be half as beautiful as either of them..."
"What's this feeling in my chest. I've never felt this way about another girl." A girl with a slight flush on her face, gripped her chest and murmured.
"..."
There were many disciples with a variety of reactions to the three.
Some were impassive and just moved on. Others admired from afar, like one would a painting. A few seemed stun-locked in place, either drooling or eyes glazed over, lost in some fantasy. A few seemed to know the identity of the women and either took out a communication jade or flew off.
Bai Jing and Ying Ying had naturally discovered the numerous disciple's stares and mutterings, but they had long grown used to it.
Ying Ying continued looking around curiously with a smile on her face. Bai Jing was expressionless while observing, she did occasionally tune in to the surrounding disciple's discussions, secretly feeling good about herself hearing them converse.
Eventually Jiang Fu led the two women to a building called "Admissions Hall".
"Here we are! Time for you two to officially join the True Origin Sect!" Jiang Fu spoke up with a pip in his step, his smile growing even wider.
The three walked into the grand building, there was no one in, except for an elderly man.
"Oh, Vice-Sect Master Fu it's good to see you again! Have you brought over a genius to join the sect?" An elderly looking man who was sitting behind the counter, in the middle of the spacious room, called out with a laugh towards Jiang Fu.
"Haha, Elder Ping is correct again. Well do you happen to recognize one of them?" Jiang Fu asked, stepping aside, pointing towards the two girls behind him with his chin.
The Sect's Elder, He Ping raised his grayish eyebrow, staring at the two young women.
"Eh, could she be Bai Kong's daughter?" He Ping exclaimed.
"Of course she is! She is Bai Jing and the other girl is Pai Ying." Jiang Fu proudly spoke.
"As expected of you! You actually got her to join like you said you would. To think I doubted you."
He Ping sighed in admiration.
"Come over you two, let's get you registered as official disciples." He Ping waved for the two girls to come towards the counter he was now standing behind.
The two readily came to the counter.
"Let's see, Mid-Stage Core Formation and you are only sixteen if I recall?"
Bai Jing expressionlessly nodded in confirmation.
He Ping then swept his Divine Sense through Bai Jing.
"Your foundation looks beyond perfect as well, maybe the best I have ever seen. To think someone who reached Core Formation at Ten years of age could have such a foundation, I am truly envious. You certainly qualify to become an inner disciple."
He Ping turned towards Jiang Fu asking, "Vice Sect Master I suppose you want to use your authority to make an exception and allow for her to become an inner disciple now."
Jiang Fu didn't say anything and just threw a token at He Ping.
After muddling with the token for a minute He Ping sent the token back.
Typically only Nascent Soul real cultivators can become inner disciples. However, disciples that reached Core Formation before thirty years of age are eligible to become inner disciples. That is only the minimum requirement though. They must also show extreme talent of some sort, a solid foundation, among others. To top it off, the must also be approved by the sect's council or a high ranking Sect Elder.
"I assume you have already picked out a residence for her?"
Jiang Fu nodded in affirmation, replying. "Atop Cracked Jade Mountain."
He Ping swayed his head in thought for a moment then nodded, fiddling with a token in his hand.
"It's good to have connections." He Ping sighed.
Soon a storage ring appeared within He Ping's hand, throwing it at Bai Jing, he spoke.
"You are now an inner disciple of the True Origin Sect, everything you need is in that space ring. I'm sure Vice Sect Master will inform you of everything you need to know so I won't bore you with any details."
"As for you..." he said, taking a look at Pai Ying.
"Late-stage Foundation Establishment, very good. Age? Talent?"
"I just turned eighteen Senior, and I have an Mid-tier Heaven grade spirit root of the Earth element."
He Ping nodded in satisfaction.
"Place your hand on this crystal for confirmation." He Ping said while pointing at a large crystal ball on the counter.
Ying Ying placed her hand on the crystal ball and it started to glow an earthen yellow. After a few moments he confirmed her talent.
There was no need to test Bai Jing, as everyone knew her talent and transcendent grade spirit roots couldn't be measured by the crystal ball.
"Good foundation, outer sect disciple it is."
He Ping threw a storage ring at Ying Ying, repeating something similar to what he said to Bai Jing.
"Wait a second Elder Ping, register Junior Ying as Junior Jing's personal servant." Jiang Fu interjected, addressing the two with new titles.
"Oh, no problem, would you two hand over the sect tokens in your spatial rings, after you place a drop of blood on it. The token looks like stone and has a mountain carved on it."
The two quickly found the tokens, followed the instructions, and handed them over after placing a drop of blood on them.
He Ping took out a similar looking token and tapped on each of the girls tokens before handing them back.
"There you are, as an inner sect disciple you are allowed to take in up to two outer sect disciples as servants. You can have them reside on your mountain or within your dwelling."
Bai Jing didn't speak and only slightly nodded her head.
"As for you Junior Ying, becoming an inner disciple's servant is also considered a sect mission, you will be able to receive some sect points every month as remuneration."
"Thank you for your help Elder!" Ying Ying smilingly replied with a bow.
He Ping just smiled at this.
*Clap*
"Alright you two let's go, I will show you both to your new home!"
After clapping and getting the girls attention he strode towards the exit, hands clasped behind his back.
Upon exiting the Admissions Hall Jiang Fu started to slowly float up into the air, the girls got the hint and followed.
Ying Ying took out a sword from her space ring and jumped on it, flying upwards.
Bai Jing merely let out a thought, causing the anklets she wore to give off a slight green light as she flew up.
Jiang Fu waited for them to reach his level, then pointed downward saying, "Over there is the sect's library. I have a feeling you will be spending a lot of time there. As an inner disciple you can pick one Heaven tier technique and three Earth tier techniques for free!"
Squinting her eyes towards Jiang Fu, Bai Jing spoke.
"I thought you said I can take as much as I want when I join the sect?"
Bai Jing looked unhappy.
"You sure can! As long as you have enough sect contribution points, you can buy all the techniques you want. Oh, you may also need a certain status for some techniques." Jiang Fu spoke with his signature smile, ignoring the glare Bai Jing was giving him.
Jiang Fu pointed towards another building labeled Mission Hall.
"Over there is the Mission Hall, the best place to earn points! As an inner sect disciple you earn some points every month, but if you want to purchase anything good you must complete some sect missions."
"I see... Un- Vice Sect Master." Bai Jing said this while looking right into Jiang Fu's eyes. Her head was tilted to the side and no emotion showed on her face.
Little Zi perked up from Bai Jing's ear and flicked his tongue at Jiang Fu.
Ying Ying came up to Bai Jing's side and hugged her arm smilingly, looking up at her.
"Come on Young Miss, I'm sure it will be fun to take on some missions together!"
"..."
Bai Jing only gave her a glance. "Hopefully you're right Ying Ying..."
After Ying Ying broke through she pleaded with Bai Jing, as well as made a few subtle threats toward Bai Jing. Eventually Ying Ying managed to get Bai Jing to go back to just calling her Ying Ying once again. She even managed to go back to calling Bai Jing something more normal when in private, but Bai Jing still demanded to be called Princess when in public, which Ying Ying was fine with.
With the tension slightly defused, the three made their way off the mountain top.
