A/N: Dw, I'm not going to be introducing a new 'protagonist' every few chapters, I've planned on 7-9, and, for anyone who's read NSHBA, the sect he's in is similar to Xuantian Dao Sect. For the uninitiated, I'll be doing a decently large info dump within the next few chapters
MC POV:
'' And last, Jiang Yi. You… have a physique known as the Blank Physique. You don't have an element… Yet. It allows you to choose any two elements, and you will have great proficiency in them, but for the others, you will fail at anything except the barebones minimum possible. As you have any two elements you desire, you have the option to choose which elder you would like to be your master.
''I'd suggest for you to acknowledge me as your master, I've reached Nascent Soul at such a young age for a reason, after all!'' The young guy, Elder Ji, said.
I nodded and started walking to my choice. I got to Elder Ji, walked right past him, put my hand on a middle-aged elder, and said, ''I would like for this Elder to be my master.''
What, you thought I would pick Mr Talented? He might be the youngest and most gifted, but he has no experience compared to Elder Su. And, considering his age, I'd probably be his first disciple, so he'd have all his attention on me, and that would be a large detriment to my plans..
And, Su Jing was quite well known for what happened in around 10 years: a young master murdered his entire clan, as well as his unborn child for the fact that the young master wanted his wife to be a plaything and she said no, and he went absolutely berserk and murdered the young master and anyone related to him, went into hiding but eventually was murdered by people from the other continents related to him. During his hiding, I got to know him and found out that he was a quite careless person, which will be quite beneficial to what I want to do.
After I had chosen my master, I was taken to his peak, the Zephyr Peak. There, I was introduced to his five other disciples, Chen Baozhai(guy), Han Wen(guy), Zhou Meifeng(girl), who happened to be someone related to his wife, Yuan Lin(girl) and Lei Mingyu(guy).
I was shown around by Yuan Lin and Han Wen, and not before long, I realised something: this place actually wasn't that bad! There were multiple islands for separate people, and it all was quite efficient, and that's saying something coming from me. It reminded me of many flying cities from various media, except less technologically advanced, cleaner and not needing anything except wind for it to hover.
After I had been shown around, I was taken to my home, a slightly small-looking building surprisingly made of spirit steel and a whopping 9% of low-tier spirit jade! That stuff is worth a fortune here! Then again, they are a subsidiary sect, they were probably gifted it by their parent.
I entered, and was greeted by a row of maids and butlers, bowing and saying,
''Welcome, master Jiang. We hope your stay here is pleasant.''
Well, I'm barely going to be here so..
''Thank you.'' I said.
''I will be back in a while, I'm just going to get my first cultivation method and talk to Elder Su.''
After saying that, I left. Not to 𝘨𝘦𝘵 a cultivation technique, but I'd have to pretend I was, to keep up appearances. I already knew the first element I wanted.. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 a technique to unlock it…

Yes, there'll be multiple POVs, if you don't like that, bye, this prolly isn't the book for you
Elder Ji POV
I managed to get two out of the four, although I wanted them all, gotta say, this was overall a great harvest. I told them, ''Follow me, I'm going to take you to my peak. You're also going to meet your two seniors!''
They seemed genuinely amazed that I'd already taken in two disciples, but it was obviously just my amazing charisma and the fact others couldn't recognise their talent. I told them, ''Here, even if your senior disciple has been here for longer, they won't get special treatment compared to others. I treat everyone here equally.'', to calm them down. It seemed to work on the guy, I even got a notification saying [+1 favorability from target: Xie Long], and, whilst the girl seemed slightly relieved, I didn't get any increased favor from her.. I told her to come with me, and that I needed to tell her something in private. Although hesitant, she eventually accepted. I let her know about her dormant physique, and she seemed quite surprised, but when I told her that I had the materials to awaken it, her jaw dropped and I was quite proud of myself, and the notification I got increased those feelings... [10% Favorability gained!]
Optional part, not really necessary but read if you want to:
Mu Qingxuan POV
I was quite suspicious of Elder Ji when he told me to go with him in private, as I had just met him, I didn't recognise him from the novel, and he strikes me as the 'Arrogant Young Genius' Archetype. Nevertheless, I decided to go with him. He started the conversation by letting me know that I had a special physique, which, although I knew, gave me a shock, as from what I remembered in the novel due to being spoiled, it was practically undiscovered until somewhere in the 800s. But then, he told me that he could awaken it.... I grinned and looked upon him a bit more favorably, after all... I'll be leeching onto him from now on...
