Spirit Cauldron
Xiao Fang, Xiao Hei, and Li Xiang didn't move. They wanted to know what it was before stepping inside. Just from the outer appearance alone, it looked anything but harmless.
Seeing the hesitation from the three disciples, the Supreme Elder realized that it was probably their first time seeing something like this, so she explained.
"This is what we call a Spirit Cauldron. Inside you'll have to do 3 different tests. How you do on those tests will determine what class you will be put in. So if you pass the 1st test you will be put into the Insect class, if you pass 2 you will be put into the Snake-class, and, of course, if you can pass all three tests you will be put into the prestigious Tiger-class."
There were over 25,000 inner court disciples in the sect, but they were divided into 5 different classes: From worse to best they were:
No-class: >13,000
Insect class: ~8,000 disciples
Snake class: ~3,000 disciples
