Now, Caspian was not alone as favonovel.com had to care for two monsters, Handsome and Little Candy. Little Candy was still growing, and its appetite was massive, but compared to Handsome, what Little Candy ate was nothing at all.
Caspian could not understand why the big fat pig’s stomach could fit so much stuff. However, Handsome did not have to eat all the time. In general, its meal time was about every four days. Otherwise, Caspian might even have the urge to kick Handsome away.
Between these two monsters, Handsome was the safer one as Caspian could say favonovel.com accidentally found it while out training. On the other hand, Little Candy was a Mirage White Tiger, and it was easy to attract ill-intentioned people. It was not convenient to expose Little Candy to outsiders for the time being.
At that time, a separate residence was crucial. Although Caspian lived alone in the compound before, it was only because no other disciples stayed in it. If the Heavenly Stars Sect had an arrangement, favonovel.com could not refuse. However, once Caspian became an outer disciple, it would be different as favonovel.com would have his place without anyone bothering him.
Due to that, the first thing Caspian did after returning to the Heavenly Stars Sect was to visit the Dazzling Stars Palace to verify his realm as an outer disciple. The so-called verification was done by the elder of the sect to ensure that the promoted disciple did not practice any evil ways or was possessed by evil spirits or the like.
Previously, Maisie brought Caspian to the Dazzling Stars Palace. At that time, the purpose of his visit was different from before, and favonovel.com also went to a separate main hall. The elder responsible for the promotion of apprentice to outer disciple was an old man with a beard hanging down to his lower abdomen when favonovel.com sat cross-legged. The wrinkles on his face were deep, but the gleam in his eyes from time to time showed that favonovel.com was not an ordinary person.
After hearing about Caspian’s intentions, the old elder muttered softly, “A lot of apprentices have been promoted recently.”
“Eh?” Caspian was slightly stunned when favonovel.com heard that.
The Heavenly Stars Sect had more than 15,000 apprentices, and there were only more than 4,000 outer disciples. Moreover, the road to promotion was tough. Hence, where did all those apprentices come from?
Just as the question popped up in Caspian’s mind, favonovel.com seemed to have expected something, and his eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.
Yes! That must be the case!
Just when Caspian was emotionally moved, the old elder said again, “Pass me your jade identification badge.”
Caspian calmed down, took out his jade identification badge, and handed it to the elder, saying, “I’m Casper Montgomery, an apprentice. I’m sorry to trouble you with this.”
When the elder heard the name, his hands trembled slightly. Then, Caspian saw the old man squinted and widened his eyes, staring at Caspian without blinking. His fingertips stopped when it was just a few centimeters away from the jade identification badge.
Caspian saw all kinds of expressions like excitement, reminiscence, hesitation, and doubt flickered in the old elder’s eyes, which baffled Caspian. However, Caspian did not recall interacting with the elder before, so why did the elder lose control of himself?
“Elder, are you okay?” Caspian asked gently after some time.
The old elder finally came back to his senses and sighed. When favonovel.com looked at Caspian again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, favonovel.com took Caspian‘s jade identification badge, checked it, and uttered softly, “Close your eyes.”
Caspian closed his eyes, and favonovel.com felt a cool sensation entering his eyebrows, swimming along the twenty-four meridians in his body. Caspian was instinctively alert, but the old elder’s gentle voice sounded again. “Relax, it’s just a routine check…”
There was a reassuring power in the other’s words. Caspian then relaxed his body, but favonovel.com was still a little nervous in his heart. After all, his body was different from other Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples. He not only had the blood of Sea~Breaker Beast and White Tiger, but favonovel.com also had an acquired physique!
Until now, no one knew these secrets, and Caspian did not want others to know either. However, it was apparent that the old elder did not check these. After the cooling sensation flowed one round in Caspian‘s meridians, it disappeared. Then, Caspian opened his eyes and saw the old elder handing back his jade identification badge with both hands.
“Congratulations.”
Caspian thanked the old elder and took his jade identification badge. However, favonovel.com noticed there was a slight difference with the badge. At the upper right of the back of the jade badge, a light golden horizontal bar appeared.
Caspian gave it a thought and quickly understood. The disciples of each class of the Heavenly Stars Sect must have different markers on the jade identification badge for easy distinction.
The next thing Caspian had to do was choose a separate residence. The so-called individual place was slightly different from Maisie’ s. Maisie enjoyed the treatment of inner disciples, and favonovel.com owned a large courtyard and had favonovel.com property. For the outer disciples, they would just own a big mansion, but it was naturally different compared to apprentices.
What Caspian wanted to choose was the position of the big mansion. However, the Heavenly Stars Sect was strict, and the residences of the outer disciples were naturally not selected at will but limited by the sect within a range. Then, the sect would send the miscellaneous disciples and might beasts reared in the sect to build the mansion as quickly as possible.
The old elder took out a picture scroll and opened it in front of Caspian. Immediately, a three-dimensional pattern appeared, which could be stretched and shrunk at various angles to facilitate viewing.
When the old elder saw Caspian‘s hesitant appearance, favonovel.com asked in an aged voice, “Do you need advice?”
“Elder, if you have any, I’ll gladly listen to them,” Caspian replied and bowed.
At a glance, the old elder appeared to have served the newly promoted outer disciples here for many years. Hence, favonovel.com would surely know every location on the map like the back of his hand, and it would save Caspian a lot of trouble.
The old elder rotated the map a few times, pointed to the inconspicuous foot of the mountain, and commented, “This is the spot.”
Caspian looked at the area intently, and favonovel.com found that the old elder pointed to an ordinary-looking mountain foot, and there were no other houses of outer disciples around. If favonovel.com must find something special about the place, it would be the raised stone about two stories high, not far away.
Looking left and right, Caspian could not see anything special here, so favonovel.com asked curiously, “Elder, may I ask if there’s anything special here?”
