Chen Lin looked slightly surprised by Long Han's report.
The Dragon Egg had been incubating for so many years that he had thought it would never hatch. To his surprise, it finally had.
But after a moment's consideration, he said, "Never mind. I don't need a spirit pet. Keep it for yourself!"
With a flick of his palm, he condensed a token.
He handed it to Long Han and said, "I made this token with my essence blood and Divine Soul Imprint. With it, you can form a contract with that young dragon. Raise it well. It may prove useful to you and the sect in the future."
"Thank you, Master!"
Long Han thanked him respectfully and took the token.
Then Chen Lin took out a piece of special material.
Turning his finger into a blade, he trimmed it down.
Soon, it became a palm-sized token.

After some thought, he carved an image on the back as well.
It depicted his appearance in his previous life.
But the carving was so abstract that probably no one but himself could make sense of it.
Once he was done, Chen Lin looked at Long Han.
"Kneel!"
Long Han immediately dropped to his knees.
Chen Lin placed the token in his hands and said solemnly, "From this moment on, you are the Sect Leader of the Kaiyuan Sect. You must devote yourself to its governance and carry the sect to greater heights!"
"I will not fail you!"
Long Han answered in a deep voice and kowtowed three times, his forehead striking the ground audibly.
"All right, get up."
Satisfied, Chen Lin helped him to his feet.
He instructed him, "Besides the sect in Wangxiang City, you will also manage our branch here
