My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1430: Chapter 339_5

He thought for a moment, then said, “I really don’t want to take on any disciples, but how about you join our Hundred Peaks Sect?”

Wàn Rén Di wanted to refuse directly: “No, you saved me, so I need to repay you. I know I have good talent for Immortal Cultivation. I will repay you by becoming your disciple, so I’ll only be your disciple, nobody else’s.”

Join the Hundred Peaks Sect and be someone else’s disciple? If that’s the case, I might as well join the Dragon Chant Sect; at least that’s a Great Teaching. Why did I refuse Immortal Bi Yue? It was only to become Cao Zhen’s disciple, not anyone else’s.

Cao Zhen didn’t understand. You keep saying you want to repay us, so why did you just reject Bi Yue’s invitation? What’s so special about his Four Treasures Peak that this kid is determined to join it!

Just as he was pondering how to refuse, Yi Sheng’s voice rose from beside him.

“Master, why not accept him? After all, we just killed someone and claimed he was our disciple. If we don’t accept him, it might not make sense.

Moreover, he could have been a disciple of the Dragon Chant Sect, but he rejected Immortal Bi Yue because he wanted to be your disciple. If you don’t accept him, what should he do?

Now everyone knows he’s a High Level Immortal Body. We, the righteous schools, are fine, but what about those in the Demonic Sect? If we don’t accept him as a disciple, those people might show up first to snatch him away.

We can’t save him only to harm him later.”

“This…” Cao Zhen was momentarily at a loss as to how to refute his disciple.

Seeing that his master did not immediately refuse, Yi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and secretly transmitted, “Master, he is a High Level Immortal Body. Actually, his cultivation shouldn’t consume too many resources.”

Cao Zhen had a headache: “It may not consume many resources, but a High Level Immortal Body still requires a lot of resources.”

The resources consumed by a High Level Immortal Body are naturally not as much as those needed for the Ancient Immortal Body, but they still do consume resources. Moreover, the disciples of Four Treasures Peak are supposed to follow the pill-using path. He can’t just give Pills to Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and the other five Ancient Immortal Bodies without giving Pills to the other three disciples.

“Master, when we grow stronger in the future, we can help you collect and find various resources, just like Third Senior Brother who has found a lot of resources while he was with you. Although I’m not as capable as Third Senior Brother, I can also concoct Pills to make money.”

Yi Sheng paused slightly, and his tone became much more serious as he secretly transmitted, “Plus, our Eastern Wasteland is now connected to the Eastern Province and we’ll face more competition in the future.

Master, you’ve been away from the Eastern Wasteland for a while and don’t know. While those from the Eastern Province no longer attack us, many sects and even people from Great Teachings have entered our Eastern Wasteland to recruit disciples.

Those talented kids, seeing the others are from Great Teachings, from the Eastern Province, many have directly chosen to join the Great Teachings on the other side. Even our Hundred Peaks Sect will likely encounter this problem.

Recruiting disciples will be much more difficult in the future. We shouldn’t miss out on a High Level Immortal Body like him when he shows up. Having him in hand, when he grows up, will also strengthen our Hundred Peaks Sect.”

Cao Zhen furrowed his brow deeply. People from Great Teachings directly recruiting disciples in the Eastern Wasteland? That was something he didn’t expect.

And there’s no way for him to stop it.

It’s already a great achievement that their Hundred Peaks Sect can hold onto the Eastern Wasteland. Stopping people from Great Teachings from entering the Eastern Wasteland to recruit disciples seems impossible!

And this child…

Cao Zhen had a headache, just like Yi Sheng said, this child initially could have entered the Dragon Chant Sect, but because of himself, this child now can’t join the Dragon Chant Sect, and if he doesn’t accept him.

Also, for the earlier killing…

With so many factors, Cao Zhen hesitated.

Yi Sheng sensed his master’s hesitation and quickly transmitted to Wàn Rén Di, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay respects to Master!”

Upon hearing this, Wàn Rén Di abruptly knelt on the ground. He didn’t know what was needed to become a disciple but had seen mortals kneel and offer tea as part of the ceremony. Since there was no tea here, he decided to simply kneel and nod three times instead.

“Master atop, receive disciple’s first salute!”

Wàn Rén Di heavily bowed thrice toward Cao Zhen and, before Cao Zhen could speak, quickly looked at the long-legged senior sister who had been giving him messages, calling out, “Greetings, Senior Sister from your junior brother.”

Yi Sheng’s face immediately broke into a bright smile. Without even using her mana, she stepped forward, pulled Wàn Rén Di up with a laugh, and said, “Alright, I’ve got another junior brother. Remember, I’m your Fifth Senior Sister, and you’re the eighth disciple of Master. When we return to the Hundred Peaks Sect, Senior Sister will introduce you to your other six Senior Brothers and Sisters.”

Eight…

Upon hearing this number, Cao Zhen felt a headache. He initially thought that having just those four disciples was enough, but suddenly this number had doubled; now he had eight disciples.

Especially this little disciple, he hadn’t intended to take him at all. How did it happen that he unknowingly accepted him?

Cao Zhen thought for a bit and realized that, except for the initial four disciples, the subsequent disciples he took in seemed not to be the ones he had originally intended to accept.
