Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

After the morning training had ended, Zachary worked out a plan to head straight to the Dignified Supernal Village to stockpile a fresh batch of spiritual herbs. Breaking through the Heavenly Pill Array necessitated him to consume a substantial amount of herbs. Since his Heavenly Herb Garden had just materialized, and he didn't have a large supply of such herbs yet, he mapped out an objective to gather an initial stack of herbs in preparation for any future problems.

However, just when Zachary was all set to go out of the Heavenly Cloud Square and make his way toward the Dignified Supernal Village, Sharon abruptly showed up right under his nose at that instant.

"What's happening? Is there something wrong?" Zachary asked with a tranquil expression. By now, he had become acquainted with her sudden appearance.

"Can't I find you for no apparent reason? Should there always be a complication every time I show up?" Sharon brooded with a small pout.

"Of course, you can. Nobody's stopping you. All I'm saying is it's easy to get the wrong idea. I'm just worried that others will misinterpret your surfacing," Zachary pointed out.

"Very nice. I was a bit concerned that you might have some apprehensions and decide not to participate. Naturally, as a new inner disciple, you have the prerogative not to join. But with your current strength and talent, it would be a pity if you sit this out. However, if you'll stand out in this assessment, you will have the chance to enter the Supernatural Cave for cultivation. Maybe you can take the opportunity to break through to the Sage Level," Kendrick declared. It was apparent that he knew of it.

"That's true, but the Dignified Supernal Sect's inner part is loaded with powerful disciples. It won't be easy to be distinctive among them!" Zachary replied with a light smile.

"I have high conviction in Tania's vision, and I hope you can break through to the Sage Level at the earliest opportunity so you can become a new member of our Dignified Supernal Sect's Hundred-Sage Team," Fabian said with high hopes.

"I can't guarantee anything, but I will try my best," Zachary said. He didn't anticipate that Kendrick would think so highly of him, so he felt somewhat honored. But, in hindsight, knowing that Kendrick loved Tania very much, perhaps he also held in high regard her disciple.
