"How are you feeling? You're not injured, are you?" Nestor asked in a concerned tone.
Fade replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Moo. I'm fine."
"That's good to hear!" Nestor nodded approvingly. After a few seconds of silence, he looked straight into Fade's eyes and said, "Fade, you're smart. You should know my intentions."
"Thus, there's no point in me beating around the bush. I'll be straightforward. I want to invite you to join Green Wood Hall."
Of course, Fade had predicted this. He wasn't surprised by these words.
He nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Moo, honestly, I don't know much about the inner island or the Martial Halls. Hence, that's why I can't make my decision now."
Nestor understood what he meant and said, "Let me give you an introduction to the inner island and our Martial Halls. After that, you can decide whether you want to join me."
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Moo," Fade quickly thanked him.
Then, Nestor began his detailed explanation.
"As I said before, the inner island is the real Prohibition Island. The Sixteen Inner Halls of the Three Palaces are in charge.
"A Martial Hall can be seen as a clan like in the outside world. The only difference is that the structure of a martial hall isn't as complex."
"Generally, there are only twenty or thirty members in each Hall, and a Hall must have at least ten members, but no more than fifty members at most. The numbers are up to the respective chief of the Hall."
"Regardless, the positions in all Martial Halls are the same. From the lowest to the highest, there are four levels. The regular members, core members, deacons, main deacons, and chief."
"Most of the members who are accepted by the Martial Halls are at the advanced stage of the Heaven Level. Hence, your assignment to your respective position depends on your martial essence."
"For most members, their martial essence they can comprehend is usually around 200 -300 streaks. Core members usually hit around 500. Balton has reached this level, so everyone thinks highly of him."
"If you want to be a deacon, your martial essence comprehension needs to hit 1,000 streaks. Of course, there are other factors to consider."
"And if you want to be the main deacon, you need to have at least 5,000 streaks. Because of this strict requirement, there are only three to four main deacons in a single Martial Hall. Some halls don't even have one."
"As for the chief of the halls, most of them are near the Lord Level. Some might even have already reached it. However, no one knows their exact strength."
Seeing that Fade was listening intently, Nestor paused slightly. He looked at Fade and said with an excited expression, "With your talent and strength, as long as you enter Green Wood Hall, you'll definitely be appointed as a core member. There's no doubt you'll make it to deacon soon enough. Maybe in the next ten years, you'll even make it to be a main deacon."
Observing how worked up Nestor was, Fade chose to remain calm at this moment.
That was because the amount of martial essence he had gathered from the Xuan Valley had already hit 20,000 streaks. Hence, that was why he wasn't overreacting to these numbers.
After pondering for a moment, Fade asked, "Mr. Moo, if I were to join a martial hall and have the chance at the Lord Level, then about the elixir core..."
Hearing this question, Nestor couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Fade to think so far. After all, the Lord Level was a nearly impossible goal to him.
However, he still nodded and responded, "Once you have the chance to break through to the Lord Level, not only those from your Martial Hall but even the people of the Three Palaces will come to help you locate the elixir core. You don't have to worry about this at all."
Hearing this, Fade couldn't help but be tempted.
After all, in terms of comprehending the martial essence, he had more or less surpassed the Lord Level. Now, all he needed was the elixir core to make his breakthrough of that level.
