After landing, Elder Liu and Elder Hun saw Kai Ren's shocked expression and Elder Liu said, "It's majestic, isn't it? You know the sect got its name because of this mountain."

Hearing this, Kai Ren could not help but nod his head as the appearance of the mountain lived up to the Emerald Peak Sect's name.

They then proceeded to the checkpoint to verify their identity, as a barrier surrounded the entire mountain, preventing them from flying directly inside.

At the checkpoint, Elder Hun went ahead, showed his elder token to the deacon, and said a few words while looking toward Kai Ren.

He explained the reason for Kai Ren being with them before they were allowed entry into the sect.

Just after entering the sect, Kai Ren was astonished to find that the Qi here was almost double what he had in the meadow.

"Disciple Kai, Welcome to Emerald Peak Sect."

While Kai Ren was still enjoying the abundant Qi, Elder Liu's voice sounded beside him, "Hmm, you seem to enjoy the feeling of abundant Qi here. Then just wait till we start climbing the mountain, as the higher you go, the more Qi you will have."

After saying this, Elder Liu and Elder Hun started walking in a particular direction.

Kai Ren also followed behind them, as they were walking Kai Ren saw several disciples doing their own thing. Some were training, some were rushing somewhere, and some were just lounging around.

He also saw a group of disciples sitting around an old man whom he presumed was an elder, that was giving a lecture about cultivation. After walking for about four minutes, they came across a tall pagoda with around seven floors.

As they neared the gate, Kai Ren was able to read the banner in front of the door, which said,

"Disciple Recruitment and Management Hall."

After entering the Disciple Recruitment and Management hall,

Kai Ren was greeted by the sight of an old man dozing off in his chair with legs on the table before him. Looking at the old man, Elder Liu knocked on his head waking him up.

"Who the hell dares to... Oh! Oh! Old Liu, why are you here? Oh, Old Hun is with you. Who is this brat?"

initially grumbling in anger, the old man became flustered upon seeing Elder Liu's stern expression and immediately tried to change the subject.

"Sigh! When will you learn to stop lazing around? This is Kai Ren, a genius old Hun and I found when returning to the sect and decided to recruit him. Give him inner disciple clothes and an abode in the inner sect, and give him the token of the inner sect disciples."

Elder Liu spoke in a tone that made it clear he had given up on the old man.

Hearing Elder Liu's words, the old man became stunned and turned toward Kai Ren. He started scrutinizing him and said,

"To be scouted by Elder Liu when that muscle-headed Hun was by his side, your talent must be really amazing."

"You bastard, who are you calling a muscle head?" Elder Hun becomes enraged after hearing the old man's words.

"Oh, right, you were also here." The old man replied to Elder Hun that he did not care that he had called him a musclehead.

Just as Elder Hun was about to attack the old man, Elder Liu intervened by saying,

"Stop it, you two; honestly, when will you both learn to behave like adults? Anyway, Bleda, hurry up. After we are done here, we must also visit the sect master."

After hearing Elder Liu's words, Elder Hun and Elder Bleda stopped quarreling.

Elder Bleda immediately turned toward Kai Ren and started to ask him questions about his past, like his name, whether he had any family, and where he came from.

After noting down Kai Ren's answers, Elder Bleda went to the storeroom to get the items.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

After some time, Elder Bleda returned with a ring and gave it to Kai Ren, explaining its uses.

"This is a spatial ring. You can use it to store your stuff. There is a five cubic meter space inside it, and every disciple receives one when they join the Inner Sect. Keep it safe. If you lose it, a replacement will cost a hefty sum of contribution points."

"There are two disciple robes and your disciple token, which will also serve as the key to your residence. You can return here for replacements if they are destroyed. There is also a disciple token inside it."

"Keep it with you always, or you will not be recognized as a sect disciple. You can go now, but after the meeting with the sect master, come back here. I will arrange for a senior disciple to explain the rules and give you a tour of the sect."

After Kai Ren received the ring, he immediately thanked Elder Bleda and went to meet the sect master with Elder Liu and Elder Hun.

After leaving the Disciple Recruitment and Management Hall, the trio started climbing the mountain. Of course, elder Liu again enveloped Kai Ren in his spiritual Qi to make the journey faster.

After flying for 10 minutes, they finally reached the mountaintop. When they stopped, Kai Ren immediately realized what Elder Liu told him was true.

The quantity of Qi kept increasing the higher they went, to the point that the atmosphere started to become foggy at the peak.

After feeling the abundant Qi for a few moments, Kai Ren decided to look around him to see where they were and was stunned to find a majestic-looking pagoda standing tall on the peak.

The air around the pagoda was serene, as even the heavens acknowledged its majesty and bestowed upon it a well-deserved atmosphere.

Even though Elder Liu noticed Kai Ren's shocked expression, he ignored it and led him toward the pagoda.

After reaching the gate, Kai Ren saw two middle-aged men standing guard outside. When they saw the trio approaching, one of them came forward and asked in a clear voice,

"Elder, may I ask what business you have with the sect master."

"No need for such formalities, Deacon Su, just tell the sect master that we want to introduce a genius to him. If he is free, he should look at him.”

Elder Hun replied while waving his hand, indicating that he did not like the formalities.

Hearing Elder Hun's words, Deacon Su smiled and said,

"Very well, senior brother Hun, I will deliver the message to the sect master, but for you to call someone a genius, how high his talent needs to be?"

"Well, you can say that he might be the most talented person to have been born in the last one thousand years," Elder Hun replied boastfully as if Kai Ren were his grandson.

Deacon Su smiled after hearing that and said,

"Very well. Please wait for a few moments, senior brothers. I will go inform the sect master now." After that, he ran inside the pagoda to deliver the message to the sect master.

As they were waiting for Deacon Su to return, Kai Ren turned toward Elder Liu and Elder hun and asked, “Elder, can you tell me more about the sect master?”

Hearing Kai Ren’s words the Elders smiled and Elder Liu said, “the Sect Master is a man that values time over anything, he won’t even make small talk with anyone, because to him it is a waste of time. So try not to waste his time, okay.”

Elder Hun also chimed in, “He also takes the sect for his home since he has lived here from the time he was a child, so he will not hesitate in going to any length to protect the sect.”

As they were talking, Deacon Su returned to the trio and said, "You can go inside. The sect master is waiting for you."

"Thank you for your hard work, Deacon Su," Elder Liu replied, walking inside the pagoda. Elder Hun nodded and followed behind Elder Liu.

Throughout the entire conversation, Kai Ren was thoroughly ignored, despite being its primary subject.

After Kai Ren saw the elders going inside the pagoda, he hurriedly bowed toward Deacon Su and the other men and hastily followed behind the elders.

After taking several turns, the trio arrived in front of a door. Elder Liu knocked lightly and said in a respectful voice, “Sect master, we are here.”

A few seconds later, the door automatically opened, and they were allowed inside. After entering the room, Kai Ren saw a man sitting in a chair with his head down, seemingly busy with the papers across the table.

Kai Ren focused on the man's face and was pretty surprised, as the sect master was quite different from what he had envisioned in his mind.

In Kai Ren's mind, the sect master would be the burly man who doesn't like to wear a shirt and has a scar running down his cheeks.

But the view in front of him was vastly different from what he imagined, as he saw a man so beautiful that, for a moment, he started doubting that he was even a man.

His facial features were highly feminine, with blue eyes and thin, sword-like eyebrows above them.

His lips were plump and rosy, making even men want to take a bite out of them, and his nose was straight and small. His body was lean, and even with the men's clothing he was wearing, he still looked highly pleasing to the eye.

One could only wonder how he would look in women's clothing.

If Kai Ren hadn't known the sect master's gender, he might have thought he was looking at a beautiful fairy.

As Kai Ren was still staring at the sect master without moving, the sect master noticed this, too, but did not comment on it, as it was common for people to stare at him.

Then he turned toward Elder Hun and Elder Liu and said to them with narrowed eyes, "So, which talent did you want to introduce to me? And before you say anything, remember that if it's not worth my time, you will face the consequences."
