Chapter 761 World 39
"The place closest to the Immortal Realm?" Shen Ruyin only knew that the Supreme Sect had the Breaking Thought Peak, but she did not know that the Breaking Thought Peak had such a great reputation.
Just then, Shen Ruwan hadn't arrived yet, so Li Miaoyi mentioned Po Nianfeng's glorious achievements to her.
After she finished speaking, she changed the subject and said, "It's a pity that Po Nian Peak rarely accepts disciples, and those who do are all exceptional talents of their time."
Shen Ruyin praised earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Li is also very outstanding; perhaps his wish will come true."
Li Miaoyi was very happy, but she still said, "I hope to receive your kind words, Fellow Daoist Shen."
After they finished speaking, Shen Ruwan came over and asked, "Sister, Fellow Daoist Li, what are you talking about?"
After learning about their conversation, Shen Ruwan asked, "Is this something we can choose ourselves?"
Li Miaoyi replied, "If each peak master has a disciple they favor, they can specifically name him as their disciple. Those with outstanding talent are often favored by several peak masters."
"At this point, our own will becomes very important."
“If there is no designated place, we may seek it ourselves, as long as Your Excellency is willing to accept it.”
"Those with average talent will mostly be assigned to different places according to their strengths after graduating from the foundation school of the Supreme Sect."
Assignment? Shen Ruyin felt something was off when she heard this.
The order of accepting disciples is determined by the family system.
Perhaps the doubt in her eyes was too obvious, so Li Miaoyi lowered her voice and spoke.
“Those with outstanding abilities in the basic academy, even if they have ordinary talent, will most likely be accepted as disciples by a venerable master.”
"The rest, who lack talent and ability, will be taught by the various sects. Whether they can be accepted into a sect by a master depends on their fate."
Shen Ruyin understood: this meant nurturing those who were worth cultivating, providing one-on-one guidance and allocating resources, while the rest would be taught in large classes.
This teaching method, while perhaps unfair to those of average talent, is an inevitable development for the sect.
Shen Ruwan accepted this suggestion readily and said to Shen Ruyin, "I want to become a disciple of Jianfeng Sect."
This time, it was Li Miaoyi who was surprised: "You have a mutated fire spirit root. Whether you become a pill cultivator or a weapon cultivator, you will definitely be the most valued talent by your teachers and elders, and you will not lack resources. Why would you think of becoming a sword cultivator?"
She put it bluntly: "Supporting a sword cultivator is extremely expensive. If you don't have a family fortune, you'll probably have to spend years traveling outside the sect doing missions to raise your own good sword."
Hearing her say that, Shen Ruwan still couldn't let go of her longing for sword cultivation: "Because the principles of sword cultivation are in your own hands."
"When I was a child, I longed to have enough fighting power."
Hearing her words, Li Miaoyi sensed something was amiss, but since they weren't close, she didn't feel comfortable asking.
Shen Ruyin understood her sister's thoughts very well.
In such a family, having experienced such hardships, it was only natural to want to wield sufficient power in one's own hands.
Shen Ruyin was not very worried about the resource issue that Li Miaoyi mentioned.
Who can guarantee that repairing other things will bring in a flood of resources? You still have to rely on your own efforts to earn them through your own abilities.
Li Miaoyi and Shen Ruwan had both expressed their wishes when they realized that Shen Ruyin hadn't spoken yet, and they both looked at her.
Shen Ruyin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know which peak I want to go to. I feel like I want to learn a little bit of everything."
If an elder were here, they would definitely tell Shen Ruyin that she shouldn't try to do too much at once, and that she should focus on mastering one skill.
However, the people here now are Shen Ruwan and Li Miaoyi.
Shen Ruwan thought her younger sister was good in every way and wanted to learn everything, which wasn't a bad thing.
Li Miaoyi said, "I used to think the same way. If I could do everything, I could do everything myself. Unfortunately, I don't have that talent or energy."
"If Fellow Daoist Shen has this idea, you can try out the courses that interest you after you become an apprentice."
"Like the ordinary courses of the major peaks, people from other peaks are not prohibited from studying them."
"Fellow Daoist Li even knows this?" Shen Ruwan exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be that you have family members in the Supreme Sect?"
Li Miaoyi then realized that she had said a bit too much, but since the two people in front of her were definitely disciples of the Supreme Sect, or rather, future inner disciples or personal disciples of a certain peak master, it didn't matter if she revealed it.
"I have a cousin from a family that has been friends for generations who works in the Supreme Sect. Most of the information I know comes from her."
When Li Miaoyi mentioned her cousin, Shen Ruyin inexplicably thought of the opportunity when they struck up a conversation at the bottom of the Heavenly Ladder—Young Master Sun.
That person was also a relative of Li Miaoyi.
Shen Ruyin looked around.
There are already quite a few people here, but we still haven't seen that young master Sun. Could it be that he's been eliminated?
As Shen Ruyin was thinking, she saw Young Master Sun walking out from the direction of Zhuoqing Pond in a somewhat disheveled state.
Li Miaoyi followed her gaze and her face immediately darkened.
Shen Ruyin said at the right moment, "He came so late, it seems he didn't meet the requirements of his elders."
Li Miaoyi's expression softened slightly, but she quickly added, "Whether he can meet the standards set by his elders depends on what they say."
The Shen sisters exchanged a glance but didn't respond.
Fortunately, Li Miaoyi quickly realized her slip of the tongue: "More and more people are coming, shall we move forward a bit?"
Shen Ruyin and the other woman naturally didn't refuse and moved to a different spot with her.
Since this place is near the front, there's not much to talk about.
They waited a while longer until almost everyone had arrived, and then the main hall of the sect opened its doors.
Shen Ruyin didn't know much about the peak masters of the Supreme Sect, but she felt that they each had their own unique charm and lived up to the outsiders' impression of handsome men and beautiful women in the cultivation world.
On the other hand, Li Miaoyi's breathing became slightly heavier, as if she was somewhat excited.
Before Shen Ruyin could think about it, she heard her name called from above.
"Shen Ruyin, who came in first place in the entrance test, please step forward."
Shen Ruyin stepped forward at the signal of the disciple who was calling her name.
Beside the main seat, a man with an indifferent expression asked, "Would you be willing to become a disciple of my Broken Mind Peak?"
Breakthrough Peak?
Shen Ruyin had just been bombarded with Li Miaoyi's words about how difficult it was to advance in the Path of Delusion, and then this pleasant surprise hit her right on the head.
Having already learned about the special features of Po Nian Peak, Shen Ruyin certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip away.
"Disciple Shen Ruyin greets Master."
