"Oh my, the opportunity to join the Lingxiao Sect was thrown away just like that?"
"The young master is still too young and too self-righteous. He has no idea of the disadvantages of not having a disciple!"
"Yes, that's right! What's more, it's the Lingxiao Sect, the leader of the nine immortal sects!"
"Having one's own family heritage doesn't conflict with becoming a disciple! Some of us independent cultivators are also practicing the techniques passed down from our families."
"It's so good to have a master. Not only can I have the master to teach me, but there are also countless techniques that are suitable for me in the sect."
"That's right, there are also spirit stones, elixirs, formations, and other supplies. You can also gain merit points by going out to train, and you can exchange them for magic weapons when you return to the sect..."
"If you're bullied, you'll have your master to help and support you. Isn't that better than fighting alone?"
The more people discussed it, the more they lamented Pei Yan's choice.
They also felt that Pei Yan was too young and impetuous, which was why he missed the opportunity to change his destiny.
"Meow!"
Gu Qingcheng screamed, raised a little paw and pressed it on Pei Yan’s chest: Don’t be afraid, you still have me!
I am a ninth level demon, I will protect you!
Pei Yan lowered his head and saw a pitch-black "plum blossom" printed on his clean robe.
Gu Qingcheng:...Uh, sorry, I forgot I’m still dirty.
But, these are not important, what is important is my intention!
Pei Yan couldn't hear Gu Qingcheng's thoughts, so he didn't know that he had been taken under the wing of a certain "big boss".
He mistakenly thought that the kitten, who had awakened his intelligence, heard the criticisms of these people and was worried about him.
He whispered to the kitten, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Even without a master, even if he is alone, he is definitely capable of protecting himself and his little cat!
"Meow!"
Gu Qingcheng felt Pei Yan's sincerity, and her golden-brown cat eyes became clearer.
Oh, little Pei Yan said he wanted to protect me, Master Meow.
So cute!
She couldn't help but stretched out her little paws again:
I have the spirit stones that the immortal sect provides to its disciples;
I will refine the elixirs, magical instruments, etc. that the immortal sects prepare for their disciples;
...They have their own immortal sect, and you have me. You will live a more carefree and comfortable life than those elite disciples from famous and upright sects.
"Are you tired? Hungry? Or do you have other injuries?"
Pei Yan, who couldn't understand the cat's thoughts, continued to follow his own ideas. He began to worry about the kitten's condition.
He hugged Gu Qingcheng tightly, looked around, and was about to leave the market.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
Lu Ming had been paying attention to Pei Yan. When he saw him about to leave with the cat in his arms, he quickly spoke to try to stop him.
Just now, Lu Ming had been silent.
He couldn't tell what he felt deep down.
The spiritual roots that I once thought were extremely rare and unique, which I was proud of, seemed to have been "broken" by Pei Yan.
However, Lu Ming is worthy of being the official match of the heroine. He has positive values and a very good character.
After a brief period of melancholy and loss, Lu Ming regained his original rationality and principles.
Moreover, the words that Master said to Pei Yan before leaving also had the meaning of "reminding" him of Lu Ming -
It is very beneficial to practice together with fellow disciples!
Pei Yan was unwilling to join the Lingxiao Sect, so he could not become Lu Ming's fellow disciple.
But, in this world, besides brothers and sisters, there are also friends.
He could definitely become friends with Pei Yan and train together.
Both of them have natural spiritual roots, so their cultivation has more meaning of "contrast".
Of course, Lu Ming must have benefited from this, after all, he started practicing since he was a child and was far ahead of Pei Yan.
A simple horizontal comparison is not fair.
However, Lu Ming can make a vertical comparison - I officially introduced Qi into my body at the age of twelve, and broke through to the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage in one year.
The foundation was successfully laid the following year.
After three years of practice, he reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage.
Now, only one step is left to form the golden elixir.
Well, two years to build the foundation, and three years to reach the great perfection of the foundation.
Let’s compare them according to this standard.
He wanted to become friends with Pei Yan, and he would help Pei Yan get resources so that he could practice without distraction.
Then, he wanted to see how many years it would take Pei Yan to build his foundation and how many years it would take him to achieve the Golden Core!
He also wanted to see who would ascend to the fairyland first between him and Pei Yan!
At this moment, Lu Ming's enthusiasm for Pei Yan reached its peak. He even forgot about the seriously injured Han Ling'er and ignored the grudge between Han Ling'er and Pei Yan.
To put it bluntly, for Lu Ming at this moment, if he really had to choose between Han Linger and Pei Yan, he would choose the latter!
Han Linger?
But as she was just a junior sister from one of the nine major sects, they didn't have much personal relationship.
And Pei Yan might become a good partner (grindstone?) in his cultivation journey!
Han Linger: ...Lu Ming, are you polite?
Pei Yan: ...Me? Whetstone?
