My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1427: Chapter 339_2

When this person’s words fell, someone nearby crowded in, nodded, and agreed, “What you said makes sense.”

However, more people were still shaking their heads and saying, “It’s better to choose the Dragon Chant Sect. How can an ordinary sect possibly compare to a top-tier Great Teaching? The Dragon Chant Sect isn’t just any Great Teaching—it’s one of the very best!”

Wanren-di listened to the voices coming from all around, and his dirty face was already brimming with joy. What did these people say? I’m a top-tier Immortal Body? I’m actually a top-tier Immortal Body! This is the finest cultivation talent!

Now, I can immediately join a Great Teaching, and soon I’ll start cultivating!

Once I start cultivating, I’ll no longer live in fear of being crushed to death at any moment.

No, I can’t be so lacking in ambition. I’m a top-tier Immortal Body! I must accomplish my long-held dream—to become a true Wanren-di!

As he was pondering, nearby, the surprised voice of Immortal Bi Yue came through.

“I didn’t expect you to be a top-tier Immortal Body. Very well, then. Are you willing to join our Dragon Chant Sect?”

Immortal Bi Yue felt this was truly an unexpected gain. She merely found the little boy pleasing to the eye and the demon girl unpleasant, so she casually saved him. Who would’ve expected that she’d save someone possessing a top-tier Immortal Body?

Wanren-di heard Immortal Bi Yue’s question and almost reflexively wanted to nod, but recalling the words of those people earlier, he looked towards the male cultivator beside him and asked, “Aren’t you from the same Great Teaching?”

Immortal Bi Yue had never recruited disciples before. Although, for a Great Teaching, recruiting disciples is an important matter, such affairs were unlikely to ever land on her plate. Besides, she found the act of recruiting disciples meaningless, and as such, she had never taken in a single disciple before—it was her first time.

She thought that recruiting disciples wouldn’t be too difficult. It’s nothing more than using the Treasure Mirror to test someone’s cultivation talent and bringing back those with sufficient talent.

She was even under the impression that once she mentioned the Dragon Chant Sect’s name, this child would enthusiastically agree immediately. Yet, surprisingly, this little rascal didn’t instantly give her an affirmative answer and instead turned to question Cao Zhen, standing nearby.

Though surprised, Immortal Bi Yue still smiled, nodding, “That’s right. We’re not from the same Great Teaching. I belong to the Dragon Chant Sect, and he’s the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“Sect Leader…” Wanren-di stared at Cao Zhen and asked, “I’ve heard of Sect Leaders. Does that mean the entire Hundred Peaks Sect is under your authority?”

When Cao Zhen heard the little boy’s question, he immediately became guarded. What’s going on? Are you thinking of making me your master? Naturally, if you want to join the Hundred Peaks Sect, that would be fantastic—after all, you’re a top-tier Immortal Body!

At first, he thought that top-tier Immortal Bodies were quite common. After all, when Ling Xi and the others went out to recruit disciples, they brought back several top-tier Immortal Bodies in one go.

Later, however, he came to realize that top-tier Immortal Bodies were far rarer than he had initially imagined. That time was purely due to luck on Hundred Peaks Sect’s part, or more specifically, Little Bei Yan’s good fortune.

Hundred Peaks Sect gaining another top-tier Immortal Body would certainly be an excellent thing. Yet, the problem was, why did this kid’s gaze scream of wanting him, Cao Zhen, to be his master?

This was ridiculous! How many disciples did he already have—seven!

And among those seven disciples, aside from the obedient Ling Xi and Yi Sheng, each one was more trouble than the last. Taking in a few more disciples? Wouldn’t that be the end of him?

Would he even have time to do anything else?

Huluwa only numbered seven. The dwarves only gathered seven, too.

Seven is already the limit. He absolutely didn’t want to take in any more disciples!

Cao Zhen quickly exclaimed, “Although I’m the Sect Leader, I’m merely a temporary Sect Leader for the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth. Also, I spend most of my years outside and rarely return to the Immortal Sect. I don’t keep much of an eye on sect affairs.”

As he spoke, he paused briefly before adding, “Moreover, I don’t tend to oversee disciples. I don’t have the time to teach them.”

The surrounding crowd, hearing this, couldn’t help a collective expression of surprise, their faces full of astonishment as they stared at Cao Zhen. This is a top-tier Immortal Body! The fact that this child even asked meant he was clearly considering joining Hundred Peaks Sect and being apprenticed to Cao Zhen.

However, Cao Zhen’s response—wasn’t this a blatant rejection?

This was…

Quickly, the crowd began to realize what was going on.

Cao Zhen must be doing this for Immortal Bi Yue, unwilling to compete with her for disciples.

But while he owed this consideration to Immortal Bi Yue, was he treating Hundred Peaks Sect fairly by acting like this?

Yi Sheng listened to her master’s words, her face showing a hint of helplessness. Clearly, her master was just shirking responsibility, reluctant to take on more disciples. She understood that once her master took in a disciple, he would have to refine pills for them and help them—a lot of work.

However, the individual in question was a top-tier Immortal Body!

Could they simply pass on a top-tier Immortal Body?

Although her master might not wish to recruit disciples, the rest of them—his current disciples—had privately agreed that while they might skip ordinary disciples during their sect’s selection, whenever they encountered someone possessing a top-tier Immortal Body, they must accept them.

Thus…

Yi Sheng quietly leaned closer to Wanren-di and discreetly transmitted her voice directly to his consciousness: “Don’t say a word. My name is Yi Sheng. I’m standing right in front of you. I’m also a disciple of Hundred Peaks Sect—Sect Leader’s disciple.”

Wanren-di turned his head in surprise, looking toward the extraordinarily long-legged, beautiful Immortal standing nearby. Could this Immortal be talking to him?
