When the old man heard Shen Qi ask this, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the fact that you can think of this shows that you are a pragmatic person. I have been waiting here for nearly a thousand years. It is impossible for me to take you to another place suitable for cultivation for no reason. Therefore, I ask you to join my sect."
Shen Qi frowned slightly, "Which sect are you from?"
"That's right, the sect I belong to!"
The old man continued, "In the world of cultivators, there are no clear national boundaries. Most of them exist in the form of sects or families. Whether it's a sect or a family, if they want to gain a foothold in the world of cultivators, they must continuously expand their power, otherwise they will be in danger of being swallowed up by other forces. This is somewhat similar to those families, enterprises, or companies on Earth."
Shen Qi was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What if I don't want to join any sect? Will you still take me away?"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Young man, I advise you to join a sect. The world of cultivators is completely different from the world you live in now. There are no rules or laws there, only the survival of the fittest. The winner is king. No matter how high your cultivation level is or how good your talent is, it is difficult to survive on your own. It is better to join a powerful sect and seek protection."
Shen Qi shook his head. "I have my own plans for this matter. Now I just want to know, if I don't join your sect, will you still take me away?"
The old man stared at Shen Qi for a few seconds and said, "Okay, but you have to pay some price. Taking you away will also consume a lot of cultivation resources. If I don't give you something in return, I won't be able to explain to the sect."
"What's the price?" Shen Qi asked.
The old man replied, "Hand over some of your cultivation resources, or do three things for my sect. If you can meet any of these two conditions, I can take you away. But I must warn you, don't play tricks on this matter. If I can take you away, I naturally have ways to deal with you. If you dare to break your promise, my sect and I will naturally find ways to make you pay a greater price."
Shen Qi nodded. The conditions proposed by the old man were acceptable. This was equivalent to a deal, and once it was agreed upon, it could not be changed.
And now the old man still has the initiative, unless Shen Qi is determined not to go to the world of cultivators in this life.
After figuring out the old man's origins, Shen Qi asked again: "In the world of cultivators you mentioned, is it true that anyone can cultivate? Then how powerful are the strongest among them?"
The old man laughed and said, "I don't know how powerful the strongest cultivators are, but what I do know is that the leader of my sect can easily destroy a planet with a single strike. Even the most powerful weapon on Earth can't achieve this."
When Shen Qi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. Destroy a planet with one blow?
Isn’t this too exaggerated?
Although he had a high level of cultivation, splitting a mountain with one sword was already the limit. It was impossible to imagine how terrifying the cultivation level was to destroy a planet with one blow.
Shen Qi felt a little excited at the thought of being in the same world with such a powerful cultivator.
Some people's lives are destined to be extraordinary. Shen Qi can no longer find any rivals on Earth. If he wants to go further, he can only go to a wider world.
But not now, because the things on the Shen family's side have not been dealt with clearly, and Shen Qi cannot leave easily.
After pondering for a few seconds, Shen Qi asked again: "Your purpose of staying here is to recruit talented practitioners for your sect?"
The old man nodded. "Indeed, the spiritual energy on Earth is very thin. Anyone who can cultivate to your level under such conditions must have extraordinary talent. Once you enter an environment rich in spiritual energy, your cultivation will definitely improve significantly and you will grow rapidly in a short period of time. More importantly, your talent will be of great benefit to your future development. That's why I've spent so much time here, just to find someone with sufficient talent."
Shen Qi asked again, "You've been waiting here for so many years. Who has left and joined your sect?"
The old man sighed, "In the past thousand years, there have been only about ten people. Most of them chose to join my sect. Only two people refused my invitation and left the Earth after paying a price."
"Oh? What are the names of these two people?"
Shen Qi was a little curious.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "One is called Zhang Junfeng, he left more than 800 years ago, and the other is called Zhu Xuan, he left more than 600 years ago. So? Do you know them?"
Shen Qi shook his head to indicate that he didn't know him and had never heard of him.
It seems that those who have the talent for cultivation and have sufficient cultivation are not very famous in history because their focus is different from that of ordinary people.
"Has anyone come looking for you in the past three hundred years?"
The old man shook his head. "No, you are the first person to see me in three hundred years. The spiritual energy on Earth is getting thinner and thinner. When I return this time, I will ask the sect leader for instructions. Perhaps we won't need to send anyone here anymore, because the spiritual energy here is no longer supportive of cultivation."
Shen Qi chuckled twice and did not respond to the old man's words, because he knew that the other party was just creating a sense of crisis and making him make a decision early.
"Last time you said you'd noticed me a long time ago, so you must be aware of those on Earth who have the potential to cultivate, or have some cultivation. So, besides me, who else on Earth is a cultivator?"
The old man shook his head. "I can't tell you that. Your current cultivation level is already top-notch on Earth. If I tell you about other cultivators, you might attack them, which is not what I want to see."
"Also, I want to tell you that unless you have a good reason, you shouldn't attack other practitioners, because they all have the potential to join my sect in the future. I won't blame you for what you did in Japan this time, because they brought it upon themselves. However, if you continue to attack other practitioners, I won't sit idly by."
Shen Qi was surprised. In the eyes of this old man, could the ninja heritage of the Japanese island country also be considered a form of cultivation?
"Okay, I can promise that as long as others don't bother me, I won't bother to cause trouble for others."
The old man nodded, accepting Shen Qi's words, and asked again: "When do you plan to leave? I have to remind you that I don't have much time left here."
Shen Qi smiled and said, "When are you going to leave? Give me a deadline. I'll come find you after I finish my business."
The old man said, "Then, six months."
