As the ceremony started the three disciples of Dauntless Dragon sect took out jade pieces from their storage rings and even handed one to the city lord's secretary and started to test the bodies of young children. The process was fast; the 5 people spent nearly five minutes on every child.
According to Shao Feng's father the jade pieces actually send a faint qi in the body of childrens and the cultivators notices how long the children can hold the faint qi if the child can't hold the qi in for more than 2 minutes their prospect in cultivation is not good these people are generally called leak bodies.
And those childre who can hold more than 2 minutes are generally called leakless bodies.
After an hour it was finally Shao Feng's turn as he came forward the disciple of the Sect, a young man built like a brick house, knelt down and placed the jade on his head.
And suddenly all Shao Feng felt is comfort he could feel something light yet heavy cold yet warm move inside his body he didn't even try to keep the qi inside, his body automatically did it and spread the qi throughout his body from his head to his toe and the qi even started to move through his blood stream and this wonderful feeling suddenly stopped.
Shao Feng opened his eyes wanting to curse and demand comfort back and when he saw the hulking figure staring at him all of his irritation suddenly vanished as he stared at the figure in front.
"Your name?" the disciple questioned.
"Shao Feng sir"
"Age?"
"13"
"Father and mother's name?"
"Shao hei and Feng jiao"
"Wait a moment," the young man said as he started to write something on a wooden object.
"Here take this and come back in three hours"
Taking the wooden sign which was the size of his palm he followed the servants and left the mansion.
"Fenger"hearing his mother's voice he ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
"Here" He showed his the wooden plaque to his mother excitedly
"I passed," He boasted to his parents.
"Of course you passed, both of your parents are foundation cultivators and we trained you since you were nine"my father says as he ruffled my hair with a proud smile.
"Come my son, let's go home, we will prepare all the things you would need for the journey to the sect." I nodded and walked towards my home with my family.
"Here this is all you would need for the Sect"my mother said as she put all types of different things on the table.
"Mother, why would I need so many things?"
"Oh believe me son you would need more than these things to live comfortably in the sext" my father answered my question instead of her.
"You know i was a inner disciple of the Dauntless Dragon sect" I nodded as he continued "There are many type of people in the Sect some are good some are bad but at outer Sect all they want is to become a inner disciple thus the competition between fellow disciples is very bad some sabotage each other, some spy and many form gangs."
"These things may become important or trash depending on the time so take them."
"And how will I carry these things? I can't ask the seniors to carry them"
"Here" my mother took my hand and placed a ring on my palm it looked beautiful with plum bloosms design on it and I looked at them in confusion how will a ring help me and seeing their smiling face suddenly the confusion vanished as I realised what I was holding it was a storage ring my mother gave me a storage ring these rings were rare and pricey not given to somebody who hasn't even started cultivation.
Even the top sects don't give them to their disciples unless they were in the foundation stage.
"But aren't they rare and costly?" I questioned my mother.
"Of course they are" she answered, "it used to be mine but now it's yours, keep good care of it."
I hugged her and only said "Yes."
We spent the next few hours in each other's company. Both of them gave me a lot of advice.
They even told me about their past adventures. Apparently father used to have a demon horse but they parted ways when he left the Sect and started his shop. I wonder where he is now.
"It's time"my father said as he stood up from where he was resting as my mother finally finished combing my hair to perfection.
Then he went to the armory and brought a pair of shoes and 2 mirrors. There were 3 pairs of shoes, one of blue colour,one red and one black.
"Here put on the blue ones, I commissioned all three knowing the Sect uniform"
"Why do I need two mirrors isn't one enough"my father didn't answer the question but handed one of the mirror to my mother and suddenly the mirror on my mother's hand started shining and somehow they both can now see each other on the mirror.
"Woah how does this work?"
My father answered.
"Both of these mirrors are made of the same set of materials refined at the same time they are connected when qi is injected in one mirror the other one lights up, by injecting qi at the same time one can communicate with help of this mirror."
"You will have this piece and we will have this one we will wait for you to use them first"
As my mother collected all of the things I may use in my new storage ring. I start to eat few snacks to keep my stomach full during our journey to the sect.
"Always wear the ring on your foot, it doesn't matter if it makes you feel uncomfortable. If someone saw it, they will steal it don't tell anyone you have a storage ring not even to your elders they may take it and give it to their juniors do you understand"
"Yes mother" I answered and memorized these words.
"Come on son it's time to start your journey"
"Yes father"
