My Master Knows It All

May I know from which Immortal Sect do you hail?”

“We are from the Hundred Peaks Sect.” Lan Pili once again produced the documents given by the Hundred Peaks Sect when they left, handing them over to Du Changsheng.

After taking a quick glance at the documents, Du Changsheng returned them to Lan Pili and said, “So you are immortals from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Please come inside, we have already reserved a separate residence for the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

The Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s new emperor was ascending the throne, and the Grand Preceptor had invited all the Immortal Sects within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

At the same time, the people from Immortal Reception House had also arranged accommodation for each sect.

Cao Zhen and Lan Pili followed Du Changsheng, heading towards their lodgings.

As they walked, Lan Pili casually asked Du Changsheng, “May I know which sects from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty have already arrived?”

“People from the Four Extremes Sect and Tai Yi Gate, which are also among the top ten Immortal Sects, have already arrived, and besides them, there are also the Dual Polarity Sect, Clearfall Sect…” Du Changsheng did not hesitate and started listing the names of various Immortal Sects.

“Oh, it seems that not even half have arrived yet.

It looks like our Hundred Peaks Sect is actually quite early,” Lan Pili remarked as they arrived at a separate residence and stopped.

Pointing towards the residence, Du Changsheng said, “My friends, this will be your separate residence.

If you have any problems, feel free to come to me.

I will not go in, so you may allocate the rooms amongst yourselves.”

As one of the top ten Immortal Sects, the Hundred Peaks Sect indeed held some clout, having been assigned an entire separate residence exclusively for their members.

Cao Zhen didn’t particularly care where he stayed; as for the others, it was not his concern, and everything would be arranged by Lan Pili anyway.

After everyone had allocated their rooms, just as they were about to enter and check the progress of their disciples’ talisman crafting, alchemy, and artifact refining using the Zhonghua Cloud, a voice carried over to them.

“I heard that the Hundred Peaks Sect has arrived; may I know which Dao Companion it is?”

“Would the Dao Companion from the Hundred Peaks Sect step out for a greeting?”

The voice was clearly coming from outside the separate residence.

Cao Zhen opened his door and stepped out again, only to see Lan Pili, who had also emerged.

“Peak Master Cao, as we are both the principal envoy and deputy envoy, let’s welcome these Dao Companions together,” Lan Pili suggested to Cao Zhen, then explained, “These are people from other Immortal Sects who, knowing that the Hundred Peaks Sect has arrived, specifically came to see who is leading the group.”

Cao Zhen, with indifference, shrugged his shoulders and stepped out.

Suddenly, he stopped short, surprised to find more than thirty people standing outside the residence.

He initially thought there would be around ten people, but there were unexpectedly far more.

Did they have so much free time that they weren’t cultivating?

Knowing that people from the Hundred Peaks Sect had arrived, they immediately came over.

Cao Zhen scanned the crowd but couldn’t recognize anyone, not even knowing which sects they belonged to or how many sects these thirty-plus people represented.

They didn’t know these people, and these people also didn’t know him, but many knew Lan Pili.

Among the group, a man dressed in a black robe, sporting a goatee, with a lean figure, addressed Lan Pili, “I wondered which Dao Companion from the Hundred Peaks Sect had come.

It turns out to be Peak Master Lan.

Peak Master Lan, this person accompanying you, who might that be?”

Cao Zhen found the man’s tone somewhat strange, as there was a hint of sarcasm.

Lan Pili gestured towards Cao Zhen and introduced, “This is Peak Master Cao from the Four Treasures Peak of our Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“Oh?

So it’s Cao Sibao.” The man turned to Cao Zhen and saluted with a cupped fist, smiling, “Speaking of which, I’ve met quite a few peak masters from the Hundred Peaks Sect, but this is the first time I am meeting one from the Four Treasures Peak, even the previous peak master.

After all, it seems that the people from Four Treasures Peak seldom venture out of the mountains.”

Cao Zhen frowned slightly.

It was his first time being addressed as Cao Sibao, which wasn’t particularly flattering or commonly used.

This person had just arrived and immediately started calling him by this moniker.

Although such a reference was not outright offensive, it was clearly deliberate.

Having no relation with this man and just meeting him for the first time, the man had already started the mockery, obviously, the reason lay with Lan Pili standing beside him.

Cao Zhen sent a mental message asking, “Old Lan, do you have a conflict with him?”

As the time spent with Lan Pili increased, their casual references to each other had become Old Lan and Old Cao.

“I have a small conflict with him, but a bigger one lies with our Hundred Peaks Sect,” Lan Pili explained secretly.

“This man is the Pavilion Master of Thunderbolt Tower from the Clearfall Sect, Li Qinglei.

“Our Hundred Peaks Sect is divided into one hundred peaks, whereas the Clearfall Sect is made up of forty-nine pavilions, with Thunderbolt Tower ranking thirty-ninth.”

Cao Zhen soon understood and asked secretly, “Are you saying that our Hundred Peaks Sect has a conflict with their Clearfall Sect?”

“Exactly,” Lan Pili said.

“Although the Clearfall Sect did not make it into the top ten Immortal Sects, it remains just below that tier.

When the top ten Immortal Sects were chosen, our Hundred Peaks Sect was going through a low period.

However, thanks to the profound foundation of our sect, we still made it among the top ten.”
