"Huh, it seems like little Zhou is nearly at the same level as Mu Ran despite having only half of the special traits. This lass really is a gem. But what is that Unidentifiable Data...?

"Regardless, she’s still a [ S ] tier disciple. I’ll do my best to make her call me master... No wait, that sounds wrong for some reason, Ahem!"

Kong Ye was slowly walking uphill, following the dusty path that led to the peak of the Salted Fish Mountain Peak, the place where Elder Daheng slept... no, resided.

After spending a month’s time teaching this new generation of disciples, Kong Ye had finally managed to push up their impressions of him to a more or less favorable level.

This had unlocked the new feature of his system, a primary status window for potential personal disciple candidates. Although the information he got was very vague, with everything remotely useful being classified as [special], [to be unlocked after recruitment], and [Host’s level is too low], this was a really good tool.

The hints didn’t give him much of a push toward filling up the yearly quota of at least two Halo-bearing disciples, but it helped him weed out the unsuitable candidates more easily.

Thankfully, he had made the right choice by joining the Crimson Snow sect after getting the system, or he’d have to run all over the Cosmic Sector looking for suitable disciples using his system’s scanner gadgets. Those things were truly difficult to create.

He had been pleasantly surprised to discover that there were at least two disciples with the mysterious halo in this sect! The system greatly prioritized this halo for some reason, willing to fork out so many rewards for just recruiting them as apprentices.

When Kong Ye had enquired what the reason behind such treatment was, the system had simply answered: [Host’s current level is too low to enquire about the Halo ]

Regardless, he considered himself very fortunate. The heavens must love him dearly for such disciples to fall into his lap without even a real search!

Pushing those thoughts aside, Kong Ye focused on summoning the next disciple’s primary status window. The system had announced this new feature just yesterday, and he hadn’t had the time to check all the disciples’ data yet. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Once he had discovered the existence of an A-tier disciple in one of the mountain peaks nearby, he had rushed to the disciple’s current master to have a chat. Of course, he hadn’t directly shown his eagerness to take the disciple in as a personal disciple, but he expressed his general interest in his potential and made some vague hints.

It was a tradition in the Crimson Snow Sect for outer court disciples to choose or get selected by an Elder as a personal disciple for apprenticeships after the farewell ceremony of the previous generation.

So all the Elders had already started lobbying around with each other over their favorite disciples of this year. Kong Ye’s actions were nothing out of the ordinary. He just had to be careful about not revealing too much interest, which might make the mountain masters realize their potential and strike before him, retaining the disciple.

One by one, Kong Ye had gone through many mountains and finally appeared on the Salted Fish Peak. And that’s where the issues started.

Two S-tier disciples in a row... Kong Ye didn’t know how to manage things with Elder Daheng, their current mountain master, and convince him to hand over two of his most talented disciples.

The Salted Fish Mountain Peak had a pretty bad reputation. The disciples here barely maintained their status as proper disciples, with little potential, no training, nor any special secondary skills. In fact, the disciples who lived on this mountain peak were generally not even bold enough to go socialize with the rest of their peers.

In this situation, Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou were like two sudden boons to the depressed Elder of the peak. If Kong Ye tried to snatch them away now, he’d have to pay a hefty price.

Feeling worried, Kong Ye read the next Disciple’s data as he headed towards Elder Daheng’s residence.

[ Candidate: Han Xuhan ]

[ Speciality : High-Quality Mystic Foundation, { Unidentifiable Data } ]

[ Potential: B- tier ]

{ A More Detailed Status Window Shall Be Unlocked Upon Recruitment }

[ Reward For Recruitment: 1 turn of the myriad scriptures wheel, 1 grandmaster grade gift box ]

[ Current Status : A Very Favourable Impression Of Host ]

"Ah, finally a normal young man. Although he has that same Unidentifiable data as his specialty, it can be credited to his messy reincarnation. If nothing else, I can probably convince Elder Daheng to part with this poor kid without bargaining."

A grandmaster tier gift box wasn’t worth much, being the second lowest tier of the gift system. But Kong Ye felt that Han Xuhan would make a great personal disciple because of how fast he was in adapting to adverse situations and learning new things.

And his system would not lie. That B-tier potential was nothing to laugh at, considering the average rating of the rest of the disciples in the outer court was between B- to C. Almost none of them had any special traits marked by the system either. Han Xuhan had an acknowledge-worthy foundation, at least.

Nodding to himself and making a mental note to keep an eye on him, Kong Ye pulled up the next status window in the system interface.

[ Candidate: Xiao Wu ]

[ Specialty: Ancient Bloodline, Special Qi, Special Cultivation technique ]

[ Potential: A+ tier ]

{ A More Detailed Status Window Shall Be Unlocked Upon Recruitment }

[ Reward For Recruitment : 3 Spins of Myriad Scriptures Wheel, 2 Legend grade gift boxes ]

[ Current Status : A Mildly Favorable Impression Of Host ]

Kong Ye couldn’t help but freeze in his tracks. Another disciple with such high potential was bearing the title of a trash in this sect?

Is the disciple screening methods of the Crimson Snow Sect so bad?

It looks a bit suspicious! Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Kong Ye knew he was a man chosen by the heavens, meant for great things. But even his luck shouldn’t be this extraordinary, right?

He set his doubts aside and glanced at the palace ahead with narrowed eyes. Elder Danheng was a really lucky man. To have so many talents under his wing... tsk, tsk.

"Let’s examine the next disciple, system."

[ Candidate: Zi Wei ]

[ Specialty: Special Soul, Rare Physique, Special Cultivation Technique ]

[ Potential: S- tier ]

{ A More Detailed Status Window Shall Be Unlocked Upon Recruitment }

[ Reward For Recruitment : 4 Spins of the Myriad Scripture Wheel, 1 Epic grade gift box ]

[ Current Status: No impression of Host ]

"No way! This can’t be right!" Kong Ye felt like he was being pranked by the system. There had to be a mistake somewhere!

Six disciples of a mountain peak, and three of them have a potential around [S] tier? It would have been believable if the other two were trash, but that wasn’t the case either!

Heavens, where have I stepped onto? Is this really the infamous Salted Fish mountain peak?

He felt like a man standing on the sacred ground of a giant sect of the central macrocosm; not a ’decent’ sect of a grade-1 civilization in a barren cosmic territory.

Swallowing a nervous chuckle, Kong Ye pulled out the primary status window of the last disciple of this mountain peak.

[ Cannot find any processed data regarding the sixth disciple of the Salted Fish Mountain Peak... Reorganizing files... ]

"...What the hell-"

[ Authority Override detected...]

[ Higher level interference detected. The host is currently not strong enough to handle the consequences of peeking into the data of the sixth disciple. Please complete the required number of missions to level up and gain the requisite ability to attempt another scan on her. Any further attempts at scanning her right now would result in attracting the attention of said higher powers. ]

What in the world was this? Even his seemingly omniscient system could not access her information?

Kong Ye had never seen such prompts from the system. He felt his heart lurching thinking about the possibilities.

The palace of Elder Daheng was in sight. But this time, Kong Ye did not feel any amusement or envy toward him for having special disciples. His heart was beating like a drum, as if he was facing a slumbering predator.

It was impossible for the man to not know about any of this. The authorities had to be aware. Sect master Xuan Zi must have known this. But if he did so, and intentionally arranged such a place in this sect...

Then there was only one conclusion Kong Ye could think of. And that conclusion terrified him.
