As an official institution, the Taoist Temple stood within the city, and it was quite imposing.
"My name is Chen Zhen. I've come to visit Fellow Daoist Yuyang Zi. Please announce my arrival."
Upon entering, Chen Lin found only two young Taoist attendants in the courtyard and addressed them pleasantly.
Sensing the fluctuations of mana from Chen Lin, one of the attendants immediately acknowledged him and ran inside.
