At the Mystic Pill Sect, once an Outer Peak disciple advanced to Qi Refining Layer 7 and entered the Inner Peak, they had two choices.
One was to choose a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a master and become their closed-door disciple. This kind of master-disciple relationship was much more firmly bound.
The second choice was to affiliate oneself under a certain Foundation Establishment cultivator. In truth, such an affiliation meant the relationship between the two was practically nonexistent.
In fact, many Foundation Establishment elders did not even know how many disciples were affiliated under them.
From another perspective, disciples affiliated under an elder were equivalent to free disciples. Once they advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, that affiliation would automatically dissolve.
But for closed-door disciples under the first choice, whether they eventually became Foundation Establishment cultivators or reached the Golden Core Stage, their master would still be their master. It carried something of the inheritance of "a teacher for a day, a father for life."
The reason Han Yi had been able to join Azure Dragon Peak was mainly because Luo Yunzhou's master had approved his application and allowed Han Yi to affiliate himself under her.
Azure Dragon Peak was the foremost Inner Peak, and competition to enter it was fierce.
Whether Outer Peak disciples or disciples from the other eight Inner Peaks, many often applied to transfer to Azure Dragon Peak. Azure Dragon Peak's disciple slots had always been tight.
This time, with Luo Yunzhou making the introduction, Han Yi could hardly refuse. It was good to pay her a visit, lest others think him arrogant and conceited.
