The woman's expression turned serious as she said, "Your talent is extremely high, far exceeding my expectations."
"Therefore, I am prepared to recommend you as a Wolf-class genius. Later, you should proceed to the county city branch. That's where your true stage lies."
"County city?"
"That's right. The county city is where our Qu Xiang Sect truly operates. Here, it's just a remote nook. Even the three major sects are merely moderate powers in the county city." The woman smiled and, seeing Lin Yuan in deep thought, whispered, "This world is far larger than you imagine."
As she spoke, the woman drew a black ebony token from her sleeve, whispering, "Guide it with your essence and infuse your soul into it."
"Also, a mask. The Qu Xiang Sect always operates with masks when facing outward. How to conceal your identity, you must handle it yourself." As she spoke, the woman pushed open the door and vanished into the night.
After a long while, Lin Yuan reached out to stroke the token.
