Senior Brother, Senior Sister

Three days later, Zhang Tie was engrossed in reading the Grand Compendium of Talismans he had acquired from his last transaction in his Master's adjacent room. It was truly an invaluable treasure. Suddenly, his Master's voice echoed, and he hastily put down the scroll in his hand and hurried out of the room.

Looking up, he saw a colossal immortal crane soaring in the sky above. The crane's back was dozens of feet wide, and it carried over a hundred people. The voice had come from there.

Just then, a flash of white light streaked past, and Zhang Tie instantly soared upwards, arriving on the immortal crane in the blink of an eye. He steadied himself and saw his Master. "Greetings, Master," Zhang Tie quickly bowed. True Man Miao nodded in satisfaction and said no more.

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the massive immortal crane slowly landed on a towering mountain peak.

True Man Miao waved his hand, setting everyone down. The immortal crane rapidly shrunk and then disappeared into True Man Miao's spirit beast pouch. The new disciples watched in awe, their faces filled with envy.

"You all wait here. Someone will be here later to arrange things for you. Zhang Tie, you come with me," True Man Miao said. With that, he waved his hand, lifting Zhang Tie, and they quickly flew off. Before long, they arrived at a mountain peak, and the two slowly descended at the entrance of a cave.

The stone door of the cave was open, and Zhang Tie followed True Man Miao straight inside. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the sight within the cave. The cave ceiling was inlaid with night-shining pearls, their light brilliant. Both sides of the cave were lined with spirit stones, densely packed and countless, at least tens of thousands. Zhang Tie couldn't help but swallow.

Moving deeper, they entered an extremely spacious grand hall. At this moment, his Master was seated in the center, with three people standing on each side. On the left were three men, and on the right were one man and two women.

"Zhang Tie, these are your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask them," True Man Miao said to Zhang Tie.

"Yes, Master," Zhang Tie replied, bowing.

"These are the new disciples I've recently accepted. Although only twelve years old, they have already reached the Meridian Casting Realm. They will represent the Sect in the Secret Realm Grand Competition in the future. For the next few years, you Senior Brothers and Sisters need to take good care of your Junior Brother Zhang, understand?" True Man Miao said.

"Your disciples obey!" all six replied in unison. True Man Miao smiled in satisfaction and continued, "Zhang Tie, cultivation in the Body Cultivation realm is extremely slow. If you need any resources, just ask. The Sect will do its utmost to satisfy you. Just name it. As for the reasons behind this, your Senior Brothers and Sisters will explain it to you later."

Although Zhang Tie had some doubts, he earnestly said, "I need spirit beast blood, at least of the second rank. The higher the quality, the better. The more the quantity, the better." Zhang Tie had initially wanted to ask for some cultivation pills and spirit stones, but after a moment's thought, he held back.

"Alright, someone will deliver them to you later. Now, take Zhang Tie to find a cave dwelling and get acquainted with each other," True Man Miao said, waving his hand.

The group thanked him and departed.

They arrived outside a cave dwelling. The man at the head of the group waved his hand and released a flying boat. "Junior Brother, we'll find a cave dwelling for you first, and then we can talk more," he said.

"Okay, whatever Senior Brother decides is fine," Zhang Tie replied. They boarded the flying boat, which immediately took off. At this point, the man from before spoke again, "My name is Mo Feng, and I am your Senior Disciple Brother. This is a distribution map of the Sect's idle cave dwellings. You can choose any one."

Zhang Tie took the map and saw over forty locations marked on it, large and small. Most of them had labels indicating they were already occupied, with about ten vacant ones.

Zhang Tie looked carefully for a moment and pointed to a relatively secluded spot. "Senior Disciple Brother, I'll choose this one." Mo Feng glanced at it and nodded. "Alright, let's head over there." With that, the flying boat changed direction and flew towards the cave dwelling Zhang Tie had chosen.

Before long, the flying boat stopped in front of a cave dwelling. A large river flowed beneath it, with a waterfall cascading as if from the heavens. Lush trees surrounded the area, creating a serene and beautiful environment.

As they disembarked, the Senior Disciple Brother channeled a surge of spiritual power into his palm and then powerfully waved it towards the cave dwelling. A gust of wind rushed into the cave, and shortly after, a small whirlwind flew out from within, instantly sweeping away all the dust and debris. Senior Disciple Brother Mo Feng was the first to enter, and soon the group entered the cave dwelling's main hall. The Senior Disciple Brother waved his hand again, and a stone table and eight stone stools appeared in the center of the hall. Then, a pot of tea and seven cups also appeared on the stone table.

Everyone took their seats. A spark of fire appeared on the Senior Disciple Brother's finger, suspending the teapot above it. He then said, "Everyone, please introduce yourselves to Junior Brother."

"My name is Duan Feng, and I am your Second Senior Brother." As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, slender man with an elegant bearing, a face like jade, eyes like stars, eyebrows as fine as willow leaves, slightly upturned, exuding a touch of heroism, dressed in a white long gown embroidered with cloud patterns that fluttered in the wind, and with his hair tied up with a white jade hairpin, spoke.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother," Zhang Tie replied.

"My name is Su Li, and I am your Third Senior Sister. Besides cultivation, I am also skilled in Alchemy. You can come to me if you need anything." A tall, cool-tempered young girl with a melon seed face, a straight nose, thin yet rosy lips, and black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, dressed in a light blue long dress embroidered with elegant orchids, spoke.

"Thank you in advance, Third Senior Sister," Zhang Tie replied.

"My name is Lei Hu, and I am your Fourth Senior Brother. Although Junior Brother is young, his cultivation is not low. Let's spar sometime," a sturdy man with bulging muscles, a square face, wide mouth, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a scar between his brows said to Zhang Tie.

"Hello, Fourth Senior Brother. Please guide me more in the future," Zhang Tie replied.

"My name is Lin Yan, and I am your Fifth Senior Sister. If you go down the mountain to play in the future, remember to invite me," a petite girl with skin like snow, a delicate nose, lips like cherries, and black hair braided into two pigtails that fell on her chest, dressed in a pink dress, said.

"Hello, Fifth Senior Sister," Zhang Tie replied again.

"My name is Ye Chen, and I am your Sixth Senior Brother. Although my cultivation isn't as high as yours, I joined the Sect earlier than you, haha," a boy with a round face, large eyes, a small, straight nose, short hair, and dressed in a set of green Taoist robes said with a smile.

"Sixth Senior Brother is right," Zhang Tie replied.

"Oh, right, Junior Brother Zhang, remember to take this token to the Sect's External Affairs Hall to get your identity token processed, and then collect your personal disciple items and resources. This is a map of the entire Sect," Senior Disciple Brother Mo Feng said, reaching into his storage bag and taking out a red token and a map, handing them to Zhang Tie.

"Yes, Senior Disciple Brother," Zhang Tie reached out and took the token and the map. The token felt slightly warm in his hand. One side had an immortal crane pattern, and the other side had the characters "Jing Ling." Zhang Tie put away the token and the map and thanked the Senior Disciple Brother again.

Next, each of the Senior Brothers and Sisters gave Zhang Tie one of their sound-transmitting jade slips. Then, while chatting, they began to drink tea.
