Lu Changsheng thought becoming an immortal sect elder would be a pretty comfortable life.
Mount Shu is one of the strongest cultivation sects in the Great Xia realm, a place where geniuses gather and powerful cultivators are produced generation after generation. As an elder with his own mountain peak, he should have status, resources, and more than enough time to focus on cultivation.
The problem is that he’s not the original owner of this body.
Having suddenly arrived in this unfamiliar world, Lu Changsheng is still trying to understand his situation when Mount Shu’s once-in-a-decade Disciple Selection Ceremony arrives. Young cultivators from noble families, cultivation clans, and distant regions all flock to the sect, hoping to find a master willing to accept them.
For most elders, choosing disciples is largely a matter of talent.
For Lu Changsheng, it isn’t.
A strange treasure called the Disciple Fate Simulator allows him to see things others cannot. Some disciples who appear ordinary may be hiding astonishing potential, while some of the most celebrated geniuses are not quite as impressive as they seem. Faced with choices no one else can understand, Lu Changsheng starts taking in disciples that leave many people scratching their heads.
At first, nobody pays much attention.
After all, Mount Shu has no shortage of elders, and cultivation is filled with stories of people making poor decisions.
But as time passes, even the most skeptical observers begin to notice something unusual.
The disciples chosen by Lu Changsheng always seem to have something special about them.
Unfortunately, being right too often can attract just as much trouble as being wrong.
Between the internal affairs of Mount Shu, the endless competition between cultivation factions, and the countless opportunities and dangers scattered across the world, Lu Changsheng gradually finds that keeping a low profile is much harder than he expected.
All he wanted was to cultivate in peace.
Instead, he may have accidentally picked the most troublesome path possible.
