Sect Leader Liao asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The Chief Elder mused, "The Taoist Court's assessment for Formation grades has a quota, and the waters run both deep and shallow."
"In some remote places, there are fewer Formation Masters, so the grading is laxer, and the standards for Formation Masters are somewhat lacking."
"Some family juniors and young Cultivators, in order to claim the title of genius, rely on their network, use their connections, and even if their skill is poor, can still get recommended for First Grade."
"And those First Grades are even more watered down."
Sect Leader Liao frowned, "So you're saying that Mo, that little Junior Formation Master, is one of those First Grade Formation Masters?"
The Chief Elder nodded slowly, "Even if he didn't pull strings, most likely he got First Grade in some out-of-the-way backwater."
The Chief Elder added, "But that's not the case in our Five Elements Sect."
