《The Divine Mortal》Chapter 12: Get a job becoming servant

"Wow!"
This was simply equivalent to the land of the immortals!
Just how Roy had always imagined them to be, the palaces in heaven should be like this.
Roy was currently in the middle of a tall, lush, green mountain. There were several gravel paths in the vicinity that extended to the peak and foot of the mountain. Old Wang was walking on one of the gravel paths leading to the foot of the mountain. Roy followed behind. As he stepped on the gravel covered by moss, the surrounding spiritual qi flooded towards him. All of a sudden, he felt like he was in heaven and had gone beyond the material world.
"Land of the Immortals!" Being his first time in this place, Roy was feeling agitated.
Old Wang walked quickly to the front and said, "Before we head to Holy Garden, I will only explain it to you once. Our sect is a little unique compared to others. This is because the various Dao techniques of this place are all related to swords. Therefore, we are known as Sword Cultivators. Our sect has a domineering name: Supreme Sword Sect!"
Supreme, superior to all others throughout the skies! It was indeed domineering. With just a name, an aura roiled forth, making Roy amazed.
"The Supreme Sword Sect spans across the land. Our sect is located in the Mega Mountain Range, which possesses the densest spiritual qi across the continent. Within it, there are countless cultivators who are practicing cultivation! Their goal is to become an Immortal of the Heavens, a real immortal!
"Mortals are not allowed into the Mega Mountain Range. In the eyes of the mortals, the Mega Mountain Range is equivalent to the heavenly palace! And you are currently standing on the mountain known as Poro Peak, located within the Mega Mountain Range."

Upon hearing these words, Roy was getting a little agitated. So that's how it was. So a real immortal sect looked like this!
Old Wang continued, "You should know that the Supreme Sword Sect is very big. Among which, the supreme leader is our Sect Leader. He is also the one you met previously. We don't usually get to see him around and he is the most powerful person here. I think that he is close to becoming a real immortal by now! Below him, there are various elders and other senior cultivators."
What?
Close to immortal? That Geezer? My Gosh!
I wondered what cultivation stage he was at! To think that the old man was the supreme leader from one of the biggest sects on the entire continent! The Supreme Sword Sect!
No wonder he was so strong!! He was such a big shot!
Roy was in a great shock by the revelation. Then, his body trembled, recalling the previous encounter.
To think that I was planning to fight such a bigshot. I must be really tired of living..
But something puzzled me..
Why the geeze- I mean the supreme leader wore a ragged clothing when I met him in that cave?
His hair was disheveled and his body reeked of alcohol too. At one glance, he looked nothing more than a drunk beggar to me.
It's unbelievable for one of his status!
I guess the stronger one gets, the more peculiar their behavior would be.
"Other than that, there are also various disciples. Among which, the most precious of all are the core disciples. After the core disciples, it would be the external disciples. The number of external disciples is a few hundred times higher than that of the core disciples." Old Wang resumed his babbling.
"The truth is that within the Mega Mountain Range, we, the servants, are the most common around."

"The cultivators are usually busy with their practice, while we are responsible for their meals, house-cleaning, feeding their magical beasts, planting spiritual herbs, cleaning the palaces, and many other tasks."
"A core disciple will have at least a hundred servants, while an external disciple will have ten servants."
Roy was very grateful to Old Wang. Not only had he taken care of him, he had even given him an introduction to the real cultivation world.
"Remember all of this!" At this point, Wang turned his head around before emphasizing each word. "As a servant, we have to follow the guiding principle: never offend the cultivators! Don't even offend the external disciples. Otherwise, we might provoke disaster. This wouldn't simply be about you, I would be affected too! You have to carve this in your mind!"
Roy had grown up in the palace, so he knew how to position himself. To put it bluntly, in the Supreme Sword Sect, he was of the lowest level. It was the complete opposite of his position when he was still in his branch family palace.
"Don't be demoralized. Even the servants have some hopes." Old Wang added.
"The majority of the servants are young children with barely qualified talents brought back by cultivators from various places on the entire continent. I was also brought to this place because of this in the past."
"In this place, one can understand cultivation and has the opportunity to practice the Ashura Gate of Enlightenment. If your talents are indeed great and you can reach the sixth tier of the Qi Refining Stage by the age of 15, you can also become a real disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect and have the opportunity to really become an immortal in the future by passing some assessments. I happened to miss the deadline by a year and couldn't enter the sect and take the path of the immortal." the old man sighed softly with a gloomy face.
Old Wang seemed reluctant to accept this. As he spoke of this, his expression turned grave as he probably recalled something from the past.
Reach the sixth tier of the Qi Refining Stage by the age of 15, then you can become a real disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect ?
Wouldn't I already qualify to enter if not for the incident?
Haah~ Too bad not anymore..
Roy only remembered one key point: as long as he could find that miracle-granting item told by the system, by the time he was 15 years old, he would have the chance to enter the Supreme Sword Sect….
Well, sh*t I am already 15 y.o. now. I wouldn't believe it if I were able to find one in 1 year, even if someone were to beat me to death.
15 years old, 15 years old!
He was 15 years old now and would be 16 in another two months. He would forever miss out on this opportunity.
"F*ck! What a shame that I have been crippled!" he cursed loudly, startling Old Wang.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
