Xie Xu had also finished reading the manual by now and called the others to follow Xie Jiuniang.
Getting to the mountain early had its benefits; they could first visit the Crane Garden, spend a Spirit Stone to rent an Immortal Crane as a mount, and head to the Outer Sect.
The Crane Garden was behind Dongxu Hall.
The group used the Featherweight Talisman and arrived at the location in half an hour.
They were not the only clever ones; some new disciples were already renting Immortal Cranes from the garden's keepers. These individuals must come from prominent backgrounds and likely had relatives in the Sect, giving them prior knowledge of the entry processes.
It was Xie Jiuniang and her group's turn.
Xie Jiuniang took out thirteen Spirit Stones, "We have thirteen people."
The garden keeper took the Spirit Stones and cracked open the gate, saying, "Go in yourselves, whoever the Immortal Cranes are willing to take, it's up to your own skill."
"Thank you."
