Chapter 600: Chapter 527 Life-gate_3

Sect Leader Liao asked, "You mean to say..."

The Chief Elder mused, "The Taoist Court's assessment has a limited number of quotas, and the waters can run deep or shallow."

"In some remote areas, where Formation Masters are scarce, the assessment standards are looser, and the quality of Formation Masters might be lacking."

"And then there are the sons and daughters of certain clans, young cultivators, who for the sake of being known as a genius, pull strings using their connections, and even if their standards fall short, they are guaranteed a First Grade."

"Such First Graders often contain even more watered-down ability."

Sect Leader Liao frowned, "Are you saying that Junior Formation Master surnamed Mo is one of these First Grade Formation Masters?"

The Chief Elder nodded slowly, "Even if he didn't take any shortcuts, he was most likely given a First Grade in some backwater small place."

The Chief Elder continued, "It's different for our Five Elements Sect."
