My Master Knows It All

835: 240 835: 240 Hundred Peaks Sect selected disciples from a hundred peaks, and generally, it wasn’t just about waiting until the designated time to decide whom to choose.

Everyone had their targets set in advance.

Especially many of the lower-ranked peaks, their initial targets were not those geniuses, since the chances of those geniuses joining their peaks were far too slim.

However, that did not mean they wouldn’t seek out those geniuses.

Each year, there would always be one or two geniuses who would join some of the lower-ranked peaks.

After all, everyone is human and has their own thoughts.

Some people believed that no matter what, they had to go to the strongest peak!

They were the most talented, and other peaks were not worthy of them.

Others would choose the peak that best suited themselves.

Still others preferred to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond.

After all, every peak had limited resources, and although the higher-ranked peaks had more resources, they also had more disciples and more geniuses, so the resources distributed to them might not be more than those who entered lower-ranked peaks.

By joining a lower-ranked peak, they would also be given more attention.

Moreover, these Taoist boys who had just left the academy were still children, and their ideas could easily be influenced by others.

Thus, the lower-ranked peaks would also seek out these genius disciples.

Perhaps, one of the geniuses would join their peak.

Just like the last time during disciple selection, Four Treasures Peak, despite being last in the ranking, had not risen to prominence, yet they ended up taking in Yi Sheng, the most talented disciple at the time.

Perhaps, this year they might persuade Liao Youdi, who everyone acknowledged as the most talented, to join them!

Of course, they weren’t solely focused on Liao Youdi.

If they couldn’t persuade Liao Youdi to join, they would immediately leave and look for the next target.

Moreover, they had already dispatched other members of their peak to secure other targets.

If they could directly bring someone back to their peak, that would be best, but if not, they would secure them first and then fetch them when they departed from here.

The Peak Masters, naturally, had almost all arrived at the Heavenly Swan Academy, because facing a genius, they needed to show enough interest.

The Heavenly Swan Academy also knew that many people would come for Liao Youdi today, so they specially cleared out a separate courtyard for Liao Youdi and her two companions, Zhu Peng and Duo Duo.

Even with a separate courtyard, when people from over eighty peaks arrived there, the courtyard was unusually crowded.

At this time, nobody cared about status or decorum, as they pushed their way towards the trio of Liao Youdi.

“I say, what are you pushing for?

You should understand the principle of first come, first served, let me through first.”

“What do you mean by ‘first come’?

We all came in together, where does the idea of first come, first served come from!”

“Exactly, we all came together, why should you go first?”

“How am I not first?

Before the door was opened, I was the first to arrive.”

“What does it matter if you came early!”

“Who saw you arrive first.”

Hundred Peaks Sect was a well-respected sect, and normally everyone was polite when they met and spoke very courteously.

But now, in the competition for genius disciples, who would bother with courtesy?

If you were too polite, your disciple might be snatched away by someone else and become their disciple, now was not the time to be polite.

Among the crowd, an older looking elder, seeing that the front was crowded and he couldn’t get through, tried his best to squeeze forward while shouting, “I say, we are the Hundred Peaks Sect, one of the ten great Immortal Sects, we can’t act like this.

Even mortals know to respect the elderly and love the young.

You should respect your elders and make way for me.”

“Respect for the elderly?

You…

you’re right, Peak Master Zhao, we should respect the elderly.

Everyone make way for me, there is no one older than me here,” shouted another Peak Master, looking much younger than the first.

All were cultivators, and looking old was also related to one’s cultivation base.

Two people, both 900 years old — if you’re only at the Core Formation Stage, you might already look very old, nearly at the end of your lifespan.

But if someone is at the Golden Core Stage, they would appear unusually young.

However, others didn’t care about age at all.

“This is the Immortal Realm, where age doesn’t matter.”

“I say, this is too chaotic, we can’t do it this way,” finally, someone couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted, “How about we go by ranking?

The first-ranked peak speaks with the disciple first, then the second-ranked peak goes next, and so on.”

Everyone turned to look and instantly saw a familiar figure.

Pan Bing from Flying Immortal Peak.

The Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak was Nie Jie, who was also the Vice Sect Master of Hundred Peaks Sect.

Since the Sect Leader Cao Zhen and Grand Elder Li Ke were absent, he naturally had to take care of various matters of Hundred Peaks Sect and thus could not personally recruit disciples.

And the strongest person in Flying Immortal Peak currently, Nie Jie, was a person newly focused on cultivation and never managed these matters, otherwise, the former Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak wouldn’t have let Nie Jie take over.

Thus, the representative from Flying Immortal Peak today was the Vice Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak, Pan Bing.
