Chapter 28: Holy Flame Sect

With nothing else to tie him down anywhere, Sage had no problem following along with the other new disciples and the Holy Flame Sect Elders as they were led from the recruiting area in town to a large ship. Sage was surprised. Hed heard of this sort of Magic Tool from books but hed never actually seen one up close. It looked like an old ship from the middle ages except without any sails. Later, Sage learned that at the center of the ship was a massive crystal of some sort surrounded by array formations. He later learned this was called a spirit crystal and was like a spirit stone the size of a car that didnt shatter to dust when it was expended. It was pretty inferior to regular spirit stones except in one way: it could be refilled with qi. With a bank of them and qi gathering arrays a defensive array could be maintained indefinitely. The same could also be accomplished by having a few cultivators taking turns charging the crystal and recovering their qi.

The Sect Elder let the disciples wander around the ship freely, informing them the journey to the actual sect would require a few hours of flight. Sage was surprised to see how fast the ship flew and was pleased to learn that there was an array protecting them from the rapidly rushing wind. He felt only a gentle breeze while standing on the deck instead of the raging wind that he should have felt as he gauged the ship was moving faster than the speed of sound. Interesting. I didnt realize how far away the sects were. They hold recruiting events in a number of towns but their actual locations werent mentioned.

Sage spent the journey admiring the ship, examining the metals and other special materials it was made out of. He knew nothing about arrays so he could only marvel at how impressive they were. Eventually, the ship started to turn towards the right and made a few long sweeping circles around a strangely shaped mountain range. The Sect Elder in charge of the ship called everyone to the deck to take a look.

Welcome to the Holy Flame Sect!This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Below them was a massive crater. It was easily a thousand miles wide and surrounded by towering mountain peaks. It looked like a massive meteorite had struck a forest of towering mountains and carved out a huge valley within it. The crater was overflowing with life, shimmering green in the sunlight and quite shocking in comparison to the many mountains around it. In the distance to the north, the mountain range started to grow white while to the south were barren black mountains that extended down to the edge of a sea. He could even see a plume of smoke from what was probably an active volcano extending the land further into the water.

Nearly everyone in the Holy Flame Sect practices a profession and here in the Central Plaza is where we can trade with our Brothers and Sisters to try and get a better deal. Half of the people here are just taking orders to craft things while the other half are trading for materials or goods. The Sect deals exclusively in contribution points and has solid buying and selling prices, but doesnt forbid these outside trade deals. If an item isnt in stock at the Profession Houses or you want something custom made the stalls in the Central Plaza is the best place to go. Sometimes there are even people selling rare items found from outside or from rare occurrences.

From the Central Plaza, to the north was the Main Hall. To the south was a massive coliseum used for challenges and the yearly ranking tournament. To the east was the Million Skill Library where thousands of different skill manuals could be obtained. To the west was the Sunfire Pagoda. The Sunfire Pagoda was only about fifty feet wide but it rose up into the sky like a needle 99 stories tall.

The Sunfire Pagoda houses its own special dimension inside and is used for training and testing potential. It has eleven different types of training with nine levels each. It costs contribution points to use but it gives great benefits.

With the basic tour over, Bi Shunfu took them to the Outer Hall which is the place that handled administrative matters for the Outer Disciples. They were given basic supplies and told this was the place where disputes were settled and most administrative tasks could be taken care of.

This is where you can apply for a profession, get assigned to different duties, or to change housing. You can also take missions here for contribution points. The tokens youve just been given will prove your identity in the sect and record your contribution points. Nobody else can use your token but if you lose it will cost a hundred contribution points to get a new one made and youll suffer some punishments, so keep track of it!

Bi Shunfu then bowed to them all and left them to complete their registration. Sage got a set of the Sect Robes, a Sect Token, a copy of the Sect Rules, and a small Storage Bag. Looking inside, the bag was only a three foot wide cube inside and he was told that no living things were allowed inside and after testing later on he found out that it didnt preserve things like his Storage Ring did. Seems my storage ring isnt normal after all.
