Sam is making preparations for his visit to the Beast faction. While Jack and Philip are cultivating.
On the third day after his return from the Resource competition. He got an invite from the temple-head.
"There is a reward for winning first place in the resource competition and you played a huge part in the victory. You get to visit the 'Resting Place' and you will get to stay for a week. You have to be careful though as the Nascent stage cultivators will be joining after three days.
You are the number one target of the Beast faction and you would have a hard time saving yourself from them.
You will get the information regarding the Resting Place to your residence and you will be leaving in four days, so be prepared."
Sam didn't get to speak at all, and he came back. Soon, an attendant brought a scroll that has the records he needed to see.
