As Kong Dandan settled down with his fellow disciples in his abode, the atmosphere was lively and relaxed. They were all enjoying some low-quality spirit wine, chatting, and catching up with each other's lives. As they discussed various topics, Kong Dandan couldn't help but bring up the day's events.

"It was a really good idea to join Elder Zhou's faction," he exclaimed. "He poached a genius inner sect level talented disciple right under Elder Ji's nose. When Elder Ji finds out, he might cough blood."

The other disciples listened intently, their curiosity piqued. One of them asked, "What happened? Who is this disciple that Elder Zhou poached?"

Kong Dandan went on to explain the events of the day, starting from how he had met Han Cai, the eleven-year-old prodigy who had reached level 1 in Qi Condensation and sword technique in just a year and a half. He shared how Han Cai had caught the attention of Elder Zhou and how he had convinced Han Cai to join his faction.

As Kong Dandan spoke, the other disciples listened in shock and amazement. Most of them had been in the Sect for more than five years and still had not mastered the sword technique. They couldn't believe that a mere eleven-year-old had achieved something they had yet to accomplish. They were all impressed by Han Cai's talent and wondered what future he would have in the Sect

"Elder Zhou must have seen something special in Han Cai," said one of the disciples. "After the tournament, he would probably enter the inner sect."

Another disciple asked, " I've heard of some prodigies before but never one who reached Qi condensation and sword technique level one in a year and a half."

Kong Dandan nodded and said, "There are many prodigies like him, but all are in inner sects. He's extremely talented. He reached level 1 in Qi Condensation and sword technique in just a year and a half. I am at level one of sword technique, but his understanding of the technique is more in-depth than mine. He's already very close to reaching level 2 in sword technique. It's no wonder why Elder Zhou was so interested in him, his genius is of the inner sect level."

"Yeah, and think about the benefits for our faction," added another. "With a genius like Han Cai, when he goes to the inner Sect, the Sect will award elder Zhou handsomely and might even help him with the core condensation pill. If elder Zhou reaches core condensation, our faction will become even stronger and more respected in the Sect."

Another disciple asked, "But You said the elder might use his elder token to get in him in the fight for the top 100 positions directly. Why did Elder Zhou choose him over us? We've been in the Sect for much longer and have worked hard to get where we are now."

Kong Dandan sighed and said, "It's not that Elder Zhou doesn't value us; it's just that this disciple is truly a rare gem. He's the kind of talent that comes around once in a generation of outer sect, and it's only natural that Elder Zhou would want to use his token on a disciple who can get him the most benefits from the Sect."

One of the disciples asked, "But what about us? Will we be left behind?"

Kong Dandan shook his head and said, "You are sixteen now, just reached Qi condensation level 1. What are your chances of entering the inner Sect? Elder Zhou still values us and our contributions to the faction. When he enters the inner Sect, The inner peak elder who accepts Han Cai will reward elder Zhou. I am sure the reward they will give will benefit the whole faction. Every talented disciple is the Sect's future pillar, and the Sect appreciates the people who bring such disciples."

Another disciple asked, "So he will directly compete with the top 100 disciples outer sect tournament? "

Kong Dandan nodded and said, "Yes, he will compete directly with the top 100 in the tournament. And I feel he's going to make quite a splash. He's already shown his incredible talent is of inner Sect level, so I can only imagine what he'll be able to accomplish in the outer Sect tournament."

The conversation continued as they discussed the implications of Han Cai joining their faction and its potential benefits.

Slowly, rumors started traveling around in the outer sect, claiming Elder Zhou had poached a talented genius disciple from Elder Ji.
