An Unexpected Encounter

"It's been a week since I arrived at this place, but I could've arrived two weeks earlier. I'm surprised it took you this long to become a cultivator, considering you already memorized the cultivation technique," Yuan said.

Ji Ran scratched his head in an embarrassed manner and admitted, "Honestly, I was taken aback by life in the Bamboo Garden and needed some time to adjust. I also failed my first quotas, which slowed me down a little. Although I was the Sect Leader, I have never actually stepped foot inside the Bamboo Garden until recently."

Ji Ran was a genius who entered the Immortal Monastery through the entrance examination, so he didn't know what life was like for those who had to enter the sect through the Bamboo Forest. Although he'd heard of them before, he never paid any attention to them. After all, those who entered the sect through the Bamboo Forest were considered trash and not worth his attention.
