Chapter 165: Ch 165: Position in the Sect
The supervisor first told Rein that the Divine Scale Pavillion was first named Steel Scale Pavillion by the founder of the sect. The founder himself had the steel scale skill and the student he took in also had the same skill as him.
He was the one who developed a cultivation art called the Vajra Strengthening Art and that exactly was the strongest cultivation method that the Divine Scale Pavillion had.
Later this method was modified by the second sect leader to be usable by other less powerful skill users and in that process obviously the power of the technique decreased a little bit. But still it was one of the strongest cultivation methods. But still this technique was most useful on the Steel Scale skill.
That was the reason why the skill Steel Scale had so much value in the eyes of the sect. Anyone with this skill would be able to quickly advance in power and the sect would be able to get a very strong powerhouse in a short amount of time. That was the main reason why anyone with the skill Steel Scale was given so much attention.
Way more than the attention that another scale type skill holder would receive.
After telling Rein about the importance of his skill to the sect, supervisor Hu started to tell him about what kind of position he would be getting after joining the sect. The sect and three types of disciples who were divided mostly based on their talents. But it was possible for someone to rise in the ranks with hardwork.
The lowest position among the disciples were given to the outer disciples. They were the people with mediocre talents and were provided with just enough opportunities that would allow them to work hard but it depended completely on the disciples themselves. If they worked hard enough to reach a certain level within a time period then they would be able to become an inner disciple.
The inner disciples were higher ranking than the outer ones. They had a bright future ahead of them and were also eligible to order the outer disciples around. They were given more resources and there were also teachers always ready to solve any of their questions. These disciples were even allowed to recruit servants from outside but in limited numbers.
All the outer disciples always dreamed of becoming an inner disciple.
Just like them, the inner disciples also dreamed of becoming a core disciple. Core disciples were the highest ranking among all the disciples and they had the authority to order around most of the sect. Not only the inner and outer sect disciples, the core disciples were able to even order around most of the elders of the sect.
But there was a position that was even higher than the Core disciple and that position was that of the lead core disciple. These disciples were leaders among all the disciples and held an immense amount of authority in the sect. After the great elders and secr leaders ,they had the most authority in the sect. Currently Rein would join the sect as a lead core disciple.
...
That was a great news as the core disciples had a lot of privileges that Rein wanted. They were allowed to read any book of the sect and would also get assistance from the elders anytime they needed. This work allowed Rein to learn about the system of this world in a very short amount of time.
The core disciples were also allowed to take in servants from the outside world and these servants would be able to gain protection and even a certain amount of resources from the sect. Not only the outsiders, even some inner disciples also wanted to become servants of a lead core disciple.
Normally Rein would want to take Colinde in as his servant disciple so that she would be able to get the resources she needed. But there was no need for that anymore as she had already joined the Demon Slaying Division as a genius and they would be providing her with all the resources that she would need.
So Rein decided to bring Lan in as his servant disciple and her family would also be able to gain the protection of the Divine Scale Pavillion by that. Then Rein would be able to use the shop that he had brought without facing any troubles.
Supervisor Hu Mao wanted to take Rein to the sect immediately but Rein needed time to tell everyone the good news so he would need some time for that. So he decided to go to the main gates of the sect early in the next morning. Supervisor Hu was obviously a bit troubled by this but still he gave Rein the permission.
When Rein left the building, he called out to two people and told them to keep an eye on Rein for the whole time. These people were not sent to spy on Rein but were actually here to protect him from any unforeseen dangers. Now that Rein was a Lead Core disciple of the sect, the value of his life was extremely high.
...
Rein had obviously noticed the people following him but he did not do anything to lose them as he did not feel any bad intent from them. If the sect wanted to keep an eye on him, Rein was fine with it as he had nothing to hide anyways except for his special circumstances.
He would be given a high position in the sect very soon, so it made sense that they would keep an eye on that candidate before making the big decision. He was not going to worry about it and he was planning to just enjoy the night.
As soon as Rein told everyone the good news, a big party was held. Lan's mother had already cooked a lot of food in anticipation of a good results and everyone ate that food with relish. After some time Rein surprised everyone except Colinde by suddenly asking the thin air to join them in the merrymaking.
Then the whole family was very surprised when two people appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. One of them was a powerful looking man and the other one was a petite girl. But from the atmosphere they gave off, it was evident that they were very powerful.
These two were actually a bit surprised that Rein was able to notice both of them and they accepted that their newest lead disciple was not only a lucky person who was born with a good skill but he had something more to offer. They had no reason to not take Rein up on his offer as protecting him was easier if they were not hiding.
Just like that after a merry night, Rein went to join the Divine Scale Pavillion the next day with two of his bodyguards escorting him and Lan. Yes, Lan would also be entering the Divine Scale Pavillion alongside Rein as his servant. She was nervous about it and at the same time was also very happy that she would be able to stay with Rein.
Just like that a new life began for Rein.
