You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 96 I am a prodigy!

"Where in the world is there such a good thing as a free lunch?"

As the morning light began to shine, Lu Heng squinted, feeling the light was a little too bright for his eyes.

The claim that visualization has no cost is relative.

Lu Heng himself needs to practice visualization techniques, which will not be discussed for now. The practitioners who use him as the object of their visualization are those who practice visualization techniques.

Although it is possible to obtain a seed of visualization that allows one to still have the possibility of perfection after a breakthrough.

However, similarly, because the object of visualization is the other person, the practitioner of visualization cannot transcend the object of visualization in terms of spiritual attainment.

Furthermore, due to the act of visualization, practitioners inevitably develop a sense of closeness to the object of their visualization.

Even if they weren't close enough to disregard any cost for each other, to the point of near-faith.

But in the description of the remnant soul—

This sense of closeness is enough to make practitioners of visualization willing to help, or even follow, the object of their visualization without any demands, provided there are no major conflicts of interest or fundamental bottom lines involved.

Lu Heng believed that he would absolutely not want to practice visualization techniques or visualize others if he had a way out.

But what about the others?

He also knew that most people would be unaware of the possibility of achieving perfection.

If they knew that the object of their contemplation was a true prodigy of cultivation, they would probably be overjoyed and agree without any hesitation.

But what if the target is Lu Qingyan?

Even if the other party is also a member of a branch family, the next generation may actually be able to rise from the branch family to the main family.

They are far beyond what ordinary family members can compare to.

To persuade Lu Qingyan, he needed to let her know about his talent as a cultivation prodigy.

Even his close friend Lu Jinnian, whom he had made during his time at the martial arts training ground, was unaware of this.

Confucius said, “Disorder arises from words. If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his life; if important matters are not kept secret, harm will result. Therefore, a wise man is cautious and discreet and does not speak out.”

Should he take a risk?

Lu Heng slowly let out a long breath, "You gave me a papaya, I returned a precious jade."

This is not a formality, but a token of lasting friendship!

It's simply a matter of repaying kindness with kindness.

"You seem to have something you want to say?"

Lu Qingyan suddenly spoke up. From the boy's gaze, she could tell that what he was thinking about seemed to be related to her.

Perhaps it's because there's something they need help with, but they're too ashamed to ask.

"Just tell me what you need—"

Saving me once is not so cheap.

Your previous request was just a small favor for me.

Well, if you feel bad about it, you can repay me in kind later.

Lu Qingyan turned her face slightly away, looking a little uncomfortable.

She's always been the one being asked for favors, so it's a little embarrassing that she's now asking others to ask her for favors.

Hearing the girl's reply, Lu Heng sighed inwardly once again.

The person who sighed was naturally lamenting their bad luck.

Having been in this world for such a short time, I've actually made some pretty good friends.

It makes it impossible to convince oneself to be selfish and self-serving.

"I need your help with something, but no one can hear us—"

Lu Heng replied with a rather worried expression.

"No problem—" Lu Qingyan picked up the jade pendant at her waist. This could not possibly be a Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant of the first level.

However, it has the effect of isolating divine consciousness.

The two found a secluded corner.

"Speak."

"What is it?" Lu Qingyan straightened her pretty face and adopted a formal attitude.

But then she noticed Lu Heng's gaze on her, and her heart tightened.

"You better not make any embarrassing requests, I'm warning you."

Lu Qingyan raised her eyebrows and said with some wariness.

Although, based on her understanding of Lu Heng, it was unlikely that he would make such a presumptuous request.

But lust is a double-edged sword, and even among cultivators, there are always those who indulge in pleasure.

If Lu Heng were to become obsessed and make any unreasonable demands, she would likely be disappointed.

"What?" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, he was both amused and exasperated.

He was thinking about something very important, and his gaze inevitably wandered a little.

As a result, Lu Qingyan misunderstood him, which was truly frustrating.

"I hope you will make a vow of faith and not reveal what I am about to tell you."

Without offering any explanation, Lu Heng immediately began to speak.

When it comes to something like this, where a leak could lead to the utter ruin of oneself and those involved, one can never be too careful.

Compared to bringing this up only after everything else has been said.

Lu Heng prefers to take precautions before things even begin.

He is willing to give people trust, but he will not give them absolute trust.

Never test human nature. Rather than testing human nature, Lu Heng prefers not to offer any options that test human nature at all!

That's what the transmigrators who are about to start a new era in this world should do, according to the log on the panel!

If he hadn't been cheating, then it wouldn't be a problem.

Testing human nature may be unavoidable.

But if someone uses cheats and then still has to test people's humanity, then what's the point of using cheats?!

However, even a vow of Dao heart is not absolutely foolproof, and there are ways to break it.

If the Heavenly Dao had not gone awry, rendering the Heavenly Dao oath a thing of the past, Lu Heng would have even wanted to take an even more cautious approach.

"no problem--"

Noticing Lu Heng's serious attitude, she realized that things were not simple.

Perhaps even more surprisingly, Lu Qingyan agreed after only a slight hesitation.

The method of making a vow of Dao heart is very simple, but since it is not very reliable, it can be broken at the cost of giving up cultivation.

Therefore, in most cases, the world tends to use contractual constraints.

Even if the contract can only bind those below the contract level, it is enough.

After all, how many people can actually achieve a breakthrough in a higher realm most of the time?

Previously, the price of breaking a contract was something most people could not afford.

"I am a prodigy in cultivation." After the girl made a vow to cultivate, the handsome and ethereal young man slowly spoke.

"What?" Lu Qingyan tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand what the boy in front of her was saying at all.

A cultivation prodigy? What's that? How is that possible? The boy in front of me must be mistaken.

Yes, it must be.

Lu Heng, who could guess what the girl in front of him was thinking, spoke again helplessly, "It's nothing, you didn't mishear me, and I didn't say anything wrong."

I am a prodigy in cultivation.

The genuine kind.

My "Basic Body Refinement Method" has been cultivated to perfection.

To be fair, this level of cultivation progress wouldn't even be considered bottom-tier among top cultivation talents.

In the outer courtyard at dawn, the otherworldly young man spoke thus.
