Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 872 - 13: A Bustling Entrance

“You needn’t worry,” the Ziwei Master spoke slowly, “If anyone comes to you asking to push a disciple onto you, have them come to me.”

“Wouldn’t that trouble the master too much?” Zhang Tian asked with a bitter smile.

“Hmph!” The Ziwei Master said with rare assertiveness, “Any so-called genius disciple or cultivation seed must first withstand my discerning eye!”

“Thank you, Master!” Zhang Tian was overjoyed.

As he returned to the Miaoxuan Mountain cave dwelling, the Ziwei Master sat in meditative concentration when suddenly an elder came to visit.

“Sect Leader, our Chen Family has a promising youngster who wishes to become a disciple under Elder Changgeng, and I ask for your concession on this matter.”

The so-called “concession” had a very clear implication: I went to Elder Changgeng to ask for a favor and was rebuffed, so he sent me to you!

Hmph! The Ziwei Master sneered inwardly but said aloud:

“Oh, what kind of promising youngster is it? If they’re not assured to complete the path to ascend to heaven, it’s difficult for me to plead with Changgeng on their behalf.”

The elder was brimming with confidence, thumping his chest as he said:

“If the Sect Leader doesn’t mind, I can bring him to you for your evaluation right away; getting into the Inner Sect of Kunlun is absolutely no issue!”

He rushed off, while the Ziwei Master thought to himself, if the talent was truly exceptional, letting Changgeng take the disciple could be a good choice.

But if it’s just a “promising youngster” in the usual sense, then sorry, the next Head of the Kunlun Sect is not a nanny for your family.

As the Ziwei Master was pondering, another elder came to visit:

“Sect Leader, our family has produced a cultivation seed just last year, with both talent and temperament being quite decent. May I bring her over for you to see?”

Upon hearing this, the Ziwei Master was taken aback, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.

Wait a second, just how many people are trying to be my grand-disciples?

In the Miaoxuan Mountain cave dwelling, more than a dozen elders stood at the entrance, chattering noisily:

“Elder Changgeng, you can’t just accept disciples from the Xu Family! We too have many excellent juniors over here!”

Xu Yinglian stood at the doorway, blocking the elders, and said in a calm and indifferent tone:

“I’m sorry, esteemed elders, the Sect Leader has already ordered that all disciples who wish to be apprenticed under my senior brother must first be examined by him.”

More and more elders arrived at this place, and upon hearing Xu Yinglian’s explanation, they turned their heads and flew towards the direction of the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar.

Of course, there were some who didn’t believe it, thinking it was just an excuse made by Xu Yinglian or even the Xu Family of Southern Heaven, and insisted on shouting at the entrance for a face-to-face meeting with Elder Changgeng.

Qiu Changtian hid inside the cave dwelling, listening to the shouting of the elders outside, and also felt a tingling in his scalp.

Just like the big stars of the modern society, once their identities are revealed in public, they would be swarmed by a massive number of passionate fans. I guess it’s just as headache-inducing as my current situation?

Fortunately, my wise master had already told me to push all the troubles to him, which is really great.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, within the Scripture Lecture Hall, more than twenty elders stood packed together. Uninformed people might think that the high-level officials of Kunlun are discussing some major sect affairs again.

They chattered incessantly, mostly about how their own disciples were so excellent and would certainly not disgrace Elder Changgeng’s reputation, making even the Ziwei Master’s head swell and his vision spin.

“Enough!” he swung his horsetail whisk with force, saying impatiently, “Whether they are excellent or not will be known during next month’s ascension to heaven path!”

At once, the elders practically coughed up blood.

Even if everyone could pass the ascension to heaven path, what then? There are already more than twenty elders here. Can Elder Changgeng take in more than twenty disciples?

Everyone knows that the quota of disciples under Elder Changgeng can’t possibly satisfy the number of juniors who are qualified, capable, and willing to become his disciples.

The reason we’re here to plead is to get a head start!

Thus, with great tacit understanding, everyone spoke in unison:

“Of course. As long as my junior can complete the ascension to heaven path next month, the Sect Leader will let Elder Changgeng accept that junior as a disciple. Am I right?”

Nonsense! The Ziwei Master couldn’t help complaining in his heart.

If indeed there were more than twenty Inner Sect Disciples all naming Elder Changgeng as the one they wish to apprentice under, it was certain he wouldn’t be able to accept them.

On the other hand, when did you guys have so many outstanding juniors? Why haven’t I seen them before?

After all, the Ziwei Master also came from a great family, and with a quick thought, he realized the reason.

These cultivator families, which have been around for hundreds and thousands of years, certainly wouldn’t put all their eggs into the Kunlun basket.

In the past, everyone would let part of their younger generations apprentice in Kunlun, while others would do the same in Shushan, Penglai, or other sects… It would depend on a variety of factors, such as the strength fluctuations of the sects, resources related to lineages, the personal qualities of the disciples, and the needs of the families, and so on.

But now, with Elder Changgeng of Kunlun emerging as a super potential stock, completely overshadowing the other choices in every aspect, everyone didn’t hesitate and went all in.

Or, to analyze more deeply, with Elder Changgeng’s hot status, his followers would definitely be in high demand.

Just introducing one disciple, what if they aren’t up to his standard? Therefore, gathering all the outstanding juniors of the family, and letting him choose is necessary.

Landing one would be a victory!
