My Master Knows It All

612: Chapter 201 Part 1 612: Chapter 201 Part 1 The State Preceptor and the ten great Immortal Generals, no matter how the other immortals viewed them, were considered officials of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Although it is said that the ten great Immortal Generals were mere miscellaneous generals with no real authority, they were still generals.

As for the State Preceptor, there was even less need to say.

After the emperor finished discussing the tribute gifts required from the great Immortal Sects, he did not immediately leave but instead presented official tokens to the ten great Immortal Generals, as well as the State Preceptor.

Thereafter, the Grand Preceptor took out a large amount of medicinal ingredients as rewards for this occasion, distributing them among Cao Zhen and the others.

With this, the great assembly for the competition of immortals was officially concluded.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized something.

Originally, the Grand Preceptor had wanted to appoint Cao Zhen as the State Preceptor, then everyone objected, even letting someone from the Scholar Dao Sect deliberately bring up this matter during the morning court, which then led to the great assembly for the competition of immortals.

In the end, following the conclusion of the assembly, Cao Zhen became the State Preceptor anyway.

Moreover, the Hundred Peaks Sect had six people who became ten great Immortal Generals; the biggest winner of this assembly, without any doubt, was also the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Now, everyone in the world knew of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s dominance and had also learned that within the Hundred Peaks Sect there existed the Four Treasures Peak, whose Peak Master was a reincarnated being of great ability, and was exceedingly skilled at training disciples, treating them extremely well.

Out of five disciples, four became ten great Immortal Generals, and the other disciple, Yi Sheng, did not become one of the ten great Immortal Generals only because he had not yet completed Pill Fusion.

Furthermore, almost everyone now believed that Yi Sheng would indeed reach the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and then complete Pill Fusion!

By then, all five disciples from Four Treasures Peak would have attained the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Given such circumstances, those geniuses choosing which Immortal Sect to join would naturally first consider the Hundred Peaks Sect and flock towards Four Treasures Peak.

The various Sects all generally selected disciples in the same way.

Smaller Sects typically chose children with affinity for immortality from the vicinity of their gates, taking them into their Sect to begin as Taoist Boys.

Besides, if they accidentally came upon a child with outstanding talent for immortal cultivation, they would naturally bring them directly into their Sect.

But such chances were exceedingly rare.

They couldn’t just do nothing and check the aptitude of every child in every city, right?

Investigating someone’s aptitude, even if that person is a mortal, cannot be seen through at a glance.

It also requires some of the subject’s hair or other items.

And they could not simply go to other cities to inspect the aptitudes of these mortals.

Because the city they go to may belong to a certain major Immortal Sect.

Belonging here doesn’t mean that the city belongs to that Sect.

For example, Seeping Water City is extremely close to the Hundred Peaks Sect; whenever evil demons appeared, they would seek assistance from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

And all the children in their city would wait for representatives from the Hundred Peaks Sect to come and recruit Taoist Boys.

When the Hundred Peaks Sect’s people came to recruit Taoist Boys, the citizens of Seeping Water City would also cooperate.

After all, although the Guardian Immortal Dynasty, as well as the Grand Preceptor, always said that mortals and immortals are equal, almost all mortals would choose to pursue immortal cultivation when given the opportunity.

However, if people from other Sects came to Seeping Water City and asked the locals to cooperate with them in checking the aptitudes of all the children, the citizens would not comply.

After all, they only recognized the Hundred Peaks Sect.

The people living in cities surrounding the larger Sects also only recognized their respective Sects.

But, once the fame of the Hundred Peaks Sect spread throughout the world, the situation would be different.

Furthermore, some geniuses, such as those with Immortal Bodies, would exhibit qualities utterly different from other children at a young age, making it easy for others to spot their suitability for immortal cultivation.

If such a child also came from a somewhat knowledgeable family, they would naturally opt to send their child to a more powerful Sect.

It was the same with Yi Sheng; when she was very young, her family knew that she had exceptional talent and was the legendary Immortal Body.

That’s why Yi Qiancheng sent Yi Sheng to join one of the top ten Immortal Sects, the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Now, after the conclusion of the assembly for the competition of immortals, these geniuses would undoubtedly choose the Hundred Peaks Sect first and foremost.

Cao Zhen, however, didn’t think much about it.

He also knew why the emperor suddenly proposed that each Immortal Sect send tribute gifts.

After all, the Grand Preceptor had told the emperor before that there was no need for the emperor to worry about losing face; he could directly ask the top ten Immortal Sects and all the great Immortal Sects for medicinal materials and tribute gifts, then hand those materials over to himself as repayment for the favor.

But he never expected that the emperor would be so forthright, dispensing with pleasantries and directly asking others for tribute gifts.

Cao Zhen, walking back with the crowd, listened to Lv Chaoqiong, Ai Yunqi, and Gu Chengyu discussing beside him.

“With only five days’ time, it’s clearly not enough for us to return to the Hundred Peaks Sect, prepare the tribute gifts, and bring them back here.”

“Does the emperor intend for the major Immortal Sects to use their Sect’s chart to notify their Sect, and then send someone to come?”

“Why are they in such a hurry?”

“Do you think the emperor and the Grand Preceptor have some special intention?

Even if the emperor is really preparing for the Grand Preceptor’s awakening, there’s no need for so many medicinal materials, and especially no need to be in such a rush, right?”

“Have you all considered something?” Lv Chaoqiong suddenly spoke up from within the crowd, whispering softly, “The Grand Preceptor has never experienced the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, and most likely, he is expected to remain asleep.
