Chapter 157 Potential? What is that?

Chapter 157 Potential? What is that?

Seeing someone making trouble, Liu Jianjian couldn't help but look over.

The young man crossed his arms, his face full of arrogance: "Palace Master, I observe that you have already attained the second realm of cultivation; you should know the importance of talent."

"My martial arts talent is quite remarkable. Given time, reaching the second realm will not be a problem. Please have Zhu Ge come out to discuss matters as soon as possible."

"If you accept me, I will surely bring glory to the Six Paths Palace in the future. In time, the fame of the Six Paths Palace will resound throughout the four seas!"

The young man spoke arrogantly, but his cultivation level was indeed not weak, possessing the late stage of the Confucian and Taoist realm.

Such people can indeed form a fighting force as soon as they join the Six Paths Palace.

Although Liu Jianjian disliked the man's arrogant tone, she did not take it upon herself to drive him away.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask." Liu Jianjian was too lazy to talk to this person anymore, and turned to walk towards the valley.

She made up her mind that even if Zhu Ge wanted to take the young man in, she would not give him a good face in the future. After Liu Jianjian left, the others also discussed this matter among themselves.

"This young man seems pretty arrogant!"

"It's said that this person's parents have a past relationship with the lord of Jianshui City, and that's why those academies are vying to get him as a teacher in order to curry favor!"

"This is incredible! This person actually came to join the Six Paths Palace?"

"Doesn't this prove the power of the Lord of the Six Paths Palace?"

"That's true."

Many people envy this young man.

After all, these people were basically the ones who were rejected by the major forces in Jianshui City.

Lacking family background and talent, I can only try my luck with this emerging force.

However, some people think that the young man made the wrong choice.

"To be honest, his choice was unwise, after all, the Lord of the Six Paths Palace is only at the second realm."

"Oh? Only at the second realm? What do you mean, brother?"

"There are some powerful forces in Jianshui City that span multiple regions. Although their cultivation techniques and salaries are average, joining them means becoming a member of a powerful force that spans multiple regions!"

"Joining these powerful forces offers the potential to become a great figure in the future! Even if you don't become a great figure, it's still a very stable path!"

"Then it's better to join the imperial court and become an official! Besides, who says joining guarantees becoming a great master? It's said to be very difficult, isn't it? Many people spend their entire lives and only reach the first realm of cultivation."

"Ha, brother, that's a harsh way to put it. Why don't you become an official or a city lord then? Is it because of stability that you don't like it? Besides, although I've been confined to one realm my whole life, I'm at least a member of a powerful, cross-border force!"

"Just for the title of a powerful force? And a stable but meager salary?"

Many people were talking, and some even started arguing.

Liu Jianjian hadn't forbidden anyone from talking, so some people started talking louder and louder.

This has led to a surge in discussions.

However, some people did not discuss it. Instead, they either squatted down and dug at the soil, stood with their eyes closed to rest, or sat cross-legged on the ground to rest.

Meanwhile, Liu Jianjian had already reported this matter to the bone monster's clone.

"You're bothered by this?"

Zhu Ge laughed angrily: "I remember the Six Paths Palace is considered the wilderness, right? Aren't you just going to kill him and feed him to the thorns or blood mulberry trees outside the valley?"

"But I heard that person is still somewhat useful, with a first-level cultivation level." Liu Jianjian stuck out her tongue: "He can form a fighting force as soon as he enters! And I heard that his parents have a past relationship with the Lord of Jianshui City."

"Many cross-border sects offered him high salaries but he didn't go! He came here instead; he's a real talent!"

"Talent? Combat power?" Zhu Ge was speechless: "And what about a cross-border sect? I—"

Those overgrown children in Jianshui City are completely overprotected.

With the city lord of Jianshui in charge, the people inside never encountered any danger.

That young man was only at the first realm. If we calculate it, Zhu Ge would probably kill more than a dozen first-realm demon beasts on average every day after coming to the Six Paths Palace.

This kind of young man sounds like someone who has been overly protected by his parents. What use would he be on the battlefield?

As for what cross-border sects?

Those who do not achieve greatness will ultimately remain ants, regardless of whether they join a cross-border sect.

If you are only at the first level of cultivation, even if you join a cross-border sect, you might still be kicked out of the sect as cannon fodder when danger comes.

If you have a high level of cultivation, even if you don't join any sect, others will still respect you.

However, Liu Jianjian probably doesn't know these things.

After all, Liu Jianjian lives in the mountains and forests every day, how could she know such background information and talent?

The Liu Jianjian of the past was only interested in gossip.

"Jianjian, who taught you all this?" Zhu Ge said helplessly.

"It's from the Swordsman Cult," Liu Jianjian said shyly. "Its former owner used to travel around various cities before he died. I was unsure what to do, so I asked him."

"Don't listen to him in the future—" Zhu Ge was already too tired to even complain, but seeing Liu Jianjian like this, she decided to teach her a lesson to prevent her from being led astray: "Jianjian, you need to know that everything else is superficial, only your own strength is the most important."

"If you're someone like the Annihilation True Monarch, does it matter whether you join a sect, how powerful your background is, or who your parents are? It doesn't matter. It's enough that people see you as very powerful."

"But what if you offend someone like the Annihilation True Monarch, but your own cultivation level is only that of that young man?"

"Then what use is it for your parents to know the lord of Jianshui City?"

As he spoke, Zhu Ge shook his head: "These people join my sect based on mutual consent."

"I've set the threshold and explained the rules clearly, so let's follow the rules honestly."

"If you don't accept my test, if you don't accept my rules, then don't come at all."

"Instead of coming here and asking me to change the rules to let him into my Six Paths Palace, he doesn't have that kind of ability."

"Does he think his parents are some kind of 'Destroying True Lord' or 'Lantern-Carrying True Lord'? He even wants me to receive him?"

"Potential? Talent? What good is that? Is that what you rely on to fight? It relies on him going up to the Plague Sparrow and comparing potential with it, and the Plague Sparrow committing suicide because its potential was low? What a joke!"

Zhu Ge guessed that this young man had probably been under his parents' wings for too long, to the point that he really thought he was a talented person.

Those who are all talk and no action will only become obstacles to the growth and expansion of the Six Paths Palace once they enter it.

"I understand, I understand, Master." Liu Jianjian blushed, somewhat embarrassed. "I was just afraid of affecting Master's plans and strategies."

Zhu Ge smiled and said, "Jianjian, you have to understand that those people can't compare to you. No matter how useful they are, they can't shake your position in my heart."

"Even if he is incredibly talented, he is not as important to me as your smile."

For Zhu Ge, the cultivation technique "Demon Hunting Divine Art" practiced by Liu Jianjian was extremely powerful.

The potential for future achievements is limitless.

And even if Liu Jianjian didn't have any cultivation techniques, so what?

After spending some time together, Zhu Ge also liked Liu Jianjian's personality.

Worried yet responsible, innocent yet not foolish.

Liu Jianjian has always done her best to serve him and trusts both him and Hua Liusha.

For Zhu Ge, important people, such as parents and children, are people he wouldn't trade for any amount of benefit.

"So, all you need to do is kick him out and say some nasty things to mock him, otherwise, wouldn't his boasting have been for nothing?"
