Watching Lin Tian finish drinking the ceremonial apprentice tea, Xv Jiazhi bowed three times with his limbs on the ground again.
"Rise," Lin Tian said.
Xv Jiazhi remained still and asked, "Master, who is the ancestor of our sect? Also, what is the doctrine of our sect?"
This took Lin Tian aback momentarily, and he blurted out, "There is none."
"None?"
Indeed, there wasn't any. Back when the Martial Sect, Wu Hong, and Xiang Ming became disciples, there was no such concept.
"Like the rumors outside claim, I am a Loose Cultivator with no sect, so there is no need to worship an ancestor."
"..."
These words were hard for Xv Jiazhi to believe, as if joking. How old was Lin Tian this year? Were those pill recipes, Heart Methods, and formation diagrams all figured out by him? Without a sect's heritage, how was it possible?
