The Rise of the Dragon Warrior
Nothing is Free
The next morning Jun Yun picked up Shen Long in order to be introduced to the other Thousand Sword Sect Disciples as well as to Patriarch Yan Ran as well as some of the other Elders and Teachers.
" Brother Yun... Will I be accepted into this Sect?" Shen Long recalled that if he wanted to enter a Sect, he would have to meet the requirements including the registration fee.
" Longer's... You don't have to think about that. Now you are accepted to the Thousand Sword Sect." Jun Yun who knew the purpose of Shen Long's question.
Previously Jun Yun, Master Lin Kun, met directly with the Patriarch of the Thousand Swords Sect regarding the matter of paying Shen Long's registration as a new Disciple.
They agreed to give Shen Long some leniency, considering that he had a monster-like cultivation level, even though his Soul Quality and body were not perfect yet.
It was a pity if the Thousand Swords Sect rejected Shen Long as a Disciple, where they hoped that Shen Long could bring along the great name of the Thousand Swords Sect later on.
In the Wei Imperial Region itself, all Sects required that the Disciples must pay a monthly fee that had been determined thousands of years ago.
The purpose of the payment was none other than to pay the Patriarchs, the Elders, the Teachers, the repair as well as the care of the Sect, buying Resources and others including for the food of the Disciples and for the development of the Sect or all the members.
That rule is an obligation for anyone, for the sake of smooth Development of the Sect.
Many of the nobles preferred to include their Son to the Great Sect, as they had a lot of money.
The monthly fee for the Sect was small at 100 Gold Coins, For the middle Sect at 500 Gold Coins and for the Great Sect at 1000 Gold Coins.
That was why many ordinary citizens could not afford to send their children to the Sect, as it was extremely expensive. And of course many people choose the path to become independent Cultivators which of course is not an easy matter.
While studying in the Sect, they gained a lot of knowledge from teachers who would certainly accelerate their development.
" But Brother Yun... If I don't pay the monthly fee, it's possible that this Sect could decline." Shen Long felt bad.
" You don't have to think about that. What you are thinking about now is practicing! If Brother is already strong, we can hunt the Beast or Spirit Animal to repay that monthly fee." Jun Yun said.
After hearing Jun Yun's words, Shen Long was speechless. He also promised inwardly to pay all the monthly fees so that the Thousand Sword Sect would still stand.
" Longer's... Come here!" Lin Kun welcomed Shen Long's arrival while in the Sect's field.
" Good Teacher." Shen Long nodded then walked over to Lin Kun.
Master Lin Kun also introduced Shen Long to everyone in the place in order to interact with the other students.
Many of the Disciples were very pleased with Shen Long's presence, as they were said to have the fewest Disciples when compared to the other small Sects.
Both Male and Female Disciples, they liked the Youth with various perceptions and introduced each other.
Shen Long who got the treatment was so moved, without feeling clear liquid coming out of his eyes.
How not? For ten years Shen Long did not get such attention, even being exiled and used as a mockery.
When he finished the introductory session, Shen Long turned his head towards Patriarch Yan Ran and Master Lin Kun.
" I apologize in advance Patriarch, Elders and Teachers. If it pleases, I want to cut my hair like a monk. That way I always remember the good Budi from the Buddhist Light Monastery who helped me." Shen Long ventured to make a sound.
Hearing these words, all of them looked at each other favorably - Patriarchs, Elders, Teachers and Disciples.
Patriarch Yan Ran and Master Lin Kun who knew of Shen Long's life journey earlier, now only smiled even proudly at Shen Long's actions.
They thought that Shen Long had never forgotten the kindness of the person who had helped him.
" Alright Long'er... If that's your decision, we don't have a problem with that. It's just that you'll look very different from the other Disciples." Patriarch Yan Ran said.
" Thank you Patriarch." Shen Long lowered his head.
" Mm-hm... For now you will be taught by Master Lin Kun directly. So come to his place." Said Yan Ran.
" Good Patriarch." Shen Long lowered his head then turned his head towards Master Lin Kun.
" Longer's... Now come with me! I'll take you to a new residence, and take you to my place." Said Lin Kun.
" Good Teacher." Shen Long.
" Now it's all done. You can resume your activities." Patriarch Yan Ran said.
They also died one by one the place back to the training ground. As well as Shen Long, he was immediately taken to his new residence.
Arriving at the Shen Long residence house, Master Lin Kun brought Shen Long to his residence.
" Longer's... Actually there's something I want to ask. Earlier I could feel that you have already reached the level 1 Earth Swordsman. But now I myself feel nothing. Do you have a Technique to disguise your cultivation level?" Ask Master Lin Kun.
He did not expect that there was a genius capable of reaching the level 1 Earth Swordsman who was still 17 years old.
In the history of the territory of the Wei Empire, no one had done such a thing, not even the Genius Disciple of the Great Sect was capable.
" Sorry Teacher... I don't know either." Shen Long.
Shen Long could not possibly tell the truth, because according to Shen Long's understanding it was caused by the Dragon Spirit that was in his dantian. So that No one knows the cultivation level of Shen Long, except the owner himself.
" It doesn't matter... I think that's a good thing. If there are others who know your cultivation level, it is not impossible that they will take you in any way. Even worse, if it was known by the Black Flow Sect. They will unite to kill you, because in the future you will be a threat to them." Said Master Lin Kun as he stepped foot towards his residence.
" I understand Master." Shen Long.
They continued walking until they reached Master Lin Kun's residence and returned to the field in front of the House.
" Longer's... Even though you are a genius like a monster. But if you never get a lesson from a Master, then your genius is meaningless." Said Master Lin Kun.
" I understand Master." Shen Long replied.
Master Lin Kun examined Shen Long's hand carefully, causing him to be shocked because the quality of Shen Long's bones was very different from the way of other Cultivators.
Master Lin Kun was also able to sense that Shen Long's physical and Soul Quality was still like an ordinary person, even though the quality of his bones was terrifying.
However Master Lin Kun understood the situation because Shen Long had never been given a lesson about becoming a Cultivator for ten years.
