Over the Hundred-Thousand-Li Giant Lake, Xu Fan was leisurely spending his day.
Xiong Li appeared on Xu Fan's Spirit Boat.
"Greetings to the Great Master," Xiong Li greeted respectfully.
"Rise, you are the first among our sect disciples to reach the Golden Core stage and are undoubtedly deserving of the title of Senior Brother," Xu Fan praised.
"Thank you for your kind words, Great Master," Xiong Li said shyly.
"Alright, now that you've reached the Golden Core stage, it's time you ventured into the world on your own."
"Go to the Sect Treasure Vault and collect an artifact suitable for the Golden Core stage and 1,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones. Go out and broaden your horizons," Xu Fan said with a smile.
Hidden Spirit Sect does not restrict the freedom of its disciples - if you want to leave, all you need to do is inform and you may go.
