951: 258章_3 951: 258章_3 Since the Sect Leader had given no instructions, they naturally left at the first possible moment, as it was a crucial time for selecting disciples.
Although those top geniuses, those with immortal bodies, had basically decided which peaks they wanted to join, there were still other disciples, weren’t there?
Soon, in front of Cao Zhen, all the peak masters from various peaks had left.
And Nie Jie ran up to Cao Zhen, bowed, and said, “Sect Leader, in the fifty years you were absent, I acted as the steward of the Hundred Peaks Sect, but after all, I am not the Sect Leader.
Over these years, I have also recorded some important matters in the Sect Scroll, please review them.”
As he spoke, he took out a thick scroll and handed it over to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen took the scroll and read it as he walked toward Four Treasures Peak.
If this had been fifty years earlier, he would have certainly refused.
Look at the Sect Scroll?
What Sect Scroll?
Just seeing that thing gave him a headache.
But during these fifty years, he had not only experienced the life of ordinary mortals but also the life of an official.
Looking at the Sect Scroll was actually like looking at government records.
The content of the Sect Scroll recorded by Nie Jie wasn’t much, and Cao Zhen quickly finished reading it.
He nodded at Nie Jie and said, “You have worked hard these years.
Right now, every peak is recruiting disciples, and it is not appropriate to disrupt everyone’s selection process.
There’s no need for a meeting since I’m back, let everyone continue with what they should be doing.
I’ll go to Four Treasures Peak first to take a look.”
Nie Jie also understood that after Cao Zhen returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect after fifty years, he would naturally want to ask his disciples about some matters closely, so he quickly left without further disturbance.
Surrounding them, including Liao Youdi, others also dispersed and left.
Even Cao Zhen noticed that when Liao Youdi left, she seemed to glance specifically in the direction of Zhu Peng a few times.
Cao Zhen waited for everyone to leave before he turned to look at his disciples.
Since coming to this world, he had almost always been with his disciples; this was the first time he had been apart from his disciples for such a long time.
In those fifty years, the disciples had also grown up.
However, due to immortal cultivation, his disciples all looked very young, showing no signs of aging.
Indeed, even within the realm of immortal cultivation, his disciples were considered extremely young.
Most of these disciples looked unchanged, but Little Beiyan seemed to have grown taller and was no longer a lanky youth.
However, among all the disciples, Little Beiyan still appeared to be the youngest.
Mainly because Little Beiyan was the shortest among them.
Of course, the biggest changes were in Duo Duo and Zhu Peng, both of whom had grown into adults.
Upon seeing the two, Cao Zhen sighed inwardly.
He really had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a mentor towards these two disciples; he didn’t even know what their current cultivation levels were.
Cao Zhen looked at the two disciples and first asked Zhu Peng, “What is your current cultivation realm now?”
He had seen before that Liao Youdi, who came to the Hundred Peaks Sect together with Zhu Peng and joined Immortal Sects in the same batch as him, was already at the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills and was even about to condense the tenth Golden Pill of Different Phenomena.
Zhu Peng, like Liao Youdi, was also a high-level immortal body and though Zhu Peng was somewhat naive, with Ling Xi and others teaching him and having a high-level immortal body himself, he presumably wouldn’t be far behind Liao Youdi.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng immediately shouted loudly, “Zhu Peng is now very powerful, Zhu Peng has already reached the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.”
Cao Zhen was slightly stunned upon hearing this; Zhu Peng’s cultivation base was even higher than Liao Youdi’s?
Liao Youdi was only looking to break through to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, but Zhu Peng had already broken through?
Xiang Ziyu seemed to sense the astonishment in Cao Zhen’s eyes and immediately said with great pride, “Master, I have always said that Zhu Peng is a genius.
Someone as straightforward as him focuses more intently in cultivation, without any distractions, naturally, he progresses faster.”
Cao Zhen’s brows immediately furrowed, and he glared at Xiang Ziyu, scolding in a deep voice, “He is your junior brother!”
What a straightforward or not straightforward person.
Xiang Ziyu had actually directly called Zhu Peng a straightforward person in front of him, which really should not have happened!
At the side, Ling Xi and a few others seemed to know why their master’s expression had turned ugly.
Little Beiyan even started to explain, “Master, you might have misunderstood my senior brother.
Actually, he didn’t mean it, or rather…
how should I put it?
Little Zhu Peng knows his own situation, if others call him straightforward, he doesn’t get angry.
But, you can’t call him stupid, whoever calls him stupid, he will want to fight.”
Cao Zhen’s face darkened another shade, now, you’ve already called your junior brother stupid.
Little Beiyan, noticing the change in their master’s expression, added another sentence, “Master, we’re not within that range, for people close to junior brother, using those two words, the junior brother won’t fight.”
And, I didn’t call my junior brother that; I was merely explaining to you.”
“No need to explain further, you two, go back and write ‘I am sorry, my junior brother’ a thousand times,” Cao Zhen glared fiercely at Xiang Ziyu and Little Bei and then turned his gaze to Duo Duo, asking, “Duo Duo, what is your cultivation now?”
“Master, Duo Duo has now reached Inner Dan Complete,” Duo Duo said, grateful as she glanced at Xiang Ziyu and Yi Sheng, and continued, “Third senior brother has been exploring outside these years, and upon his return, he brought back many medicinal herbs and treasures, then senior sister helped disciple refine some pills, allowing disciple to break through to Inner Dan Complete.”
