Zhang Yan nodded slightly, then, after a moment of thought, asked, "May I ask how my Lingye Island will be dealt with?"
The young Daoist chuckled and replied, "Although you've established a dwelling outside the sect, you're still a disciple of the Mingcang Sect. Lingye Island will naturally remain your cave mansion; no one will dare invade it."
With the Sect Leader's personal assurance, Zhang Yan felt relieved. He clasped his hands in respect and said, "Disciple wishes to embark on a long journey to seek the karma necessary for forming my Golden Core. I request the Sect Leader's approval."
