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

Chapter 99 Background of Refining the Spirit, Possibility of Entering the Sect

"I know about what you mean by joining a sect, and it is indeed feasible."

Instead of entering the inner courtyard, joining a sect is also a viable option.

My grandfather can easily and effortlessly accomplish this for you.

Seeing the boy's confusion, Lu Qingyan began to explain.

"but--

Your situation is different.

Normally, when people say they are joining a sect, they are actually joining a sect that is on good terms with the Lu family.

Only under such circumstances can scions of noble families easily gain entry into a sect.

In a sense, the two sides are already close to being one.

However, sects that maintain friendly relations and exchanges with the Lu family are often just third-rate sects.

"It's impossible to meet your needs." The two exchanged a glance, and Lu Qingyan explained helplessly.

What are Lu Heng's needs? Both of them have a better idea of ​​the answer.

It's nothing more than providing shelter and an environment that allows Lu Heng to grow all the way to the Mystic Refining Realm.

But it is obvious that—

A sect that is a third-rate power, just like the Lu family, would not risk offending a powerful family of cultivators for the sake of a disciple whose talent is merely that of a cultivation genius on the surface.

As a disciple who joined later and was introduced with skills, rather than being a native of the sect, Lu Heng could barely be considered a member of a noble family due to his status as a member of a branch family.

In this situation—

Without even thinking, Lu Heng knew that the sect he had joined could not provide an environment conducive to his growth to the Refining God level.

They might even consciously try to suppress it, like the Lu family did.

Their actual situation was no better than that of the branch families of the Lu clan.

Therefore, this path is not feasible.

Even if Lu Heng believes he can eventually give back, the biggest problem between people is trust.

This is even more true for the relationship between people and power.

However, this path is also feasible.

After all, the reason he considered this path a viable approach was precisely because—

The sects were second only to the imperial court in the Great Qi Dynasty, and could be compared with the aristocratic families.

How could there only be third-rate forces?

In Qingzhou alone, there are several forces that openly possess the power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, making them first-rate forces in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Leaving aside the top-tier sects whose entry requirements are destined to be stringent.

However, as far as Lu Heng knew, there were no fewer than twenty second-rate forces below the first-rate forces.

In reality, there will only be more, not less.

Another point is—

Lu Qingyan did not reject it from the beginning, but only raised objections after she thought it was feasible.

Lu Heng knew that if the other party thought it was unfeasible from the beginning, they would probably object immediately, leaving no hope for them.

Looking at the girl again, sure enough, there was a faint smile on Lu Qingyan's pretty and aloof face.

There should still be a way, but it probably has nothing to do with the Lu family, but is inextricably linked to that second steward.

Of course, it was also because Lu Qingyan didn't try to hide her intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see through them so easily.

He knows this trick well!

First disappoint, then give hope—Miss Qingyan is a master at keeping people in suspense!

Lu Heng thought to himself silently, but did not rush to ask.

As he expected, Lu Qingyan soon couldn't help but look at him and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"You idiot, aren't you going to ask one more question?"

"What if I could help you think of a solution?"

Lu Heng smiled but remained silent.

Lu Qingyan also realized that the boy had noticed her hidden intentions.

He stomped his foot in a fit of rage and embarrassment.

"I can definitely help you find a solution, but would it kill you to beg me?"

The girl's voice was filled with regret.

They've known each other for almost half a year, and it seems she hasn't gotten anything out of the boy in front of her.

Basically, she always chose to back down.

Just as I told Grandpa before, this guy is like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Lu Qingyan thought with a hint of resentment.

"Then—I'll trouble you, Miss Qingyan."

Lu Heng thought for a moment, then chuckled and spoke.

Lu Qingyan was clearly a cultivator who could break through to the Qi Refining Secret Realm at any time.

But when the boy said those words, he almost shivered, just like he had when he was a mortal.

It wasn't that they sensed danger, but rather that it was strange, very strange.

Despite not liking it, she was already used to being addressed with respect by others, even though she was the granddaughter of the second steward.

But even at this moment, Lu Qingyan still couldn't help feeling awkward being addressed with a respectful title by Lu Heng.

She waved her hands repeatedly and gave the boy a disgruntled look.

Wanting to quickly move on from this topic, Lu Qingyan simply offered her own solution.

Logically speaking, I should naturally have no choice.

But my grandfather had a close friend surnamed Liu.

Lu Qingyan spoke with a touch of emotion.

"That elder comes from a second-rate sect?" Lu Heng's lips twitched, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, that Grandpa Liu not only comes from a second-rate sect."

And he was also a True Immortal of Spirit Refinement.

Without making a sound, Lu Qingyan dropped a bombshell.

Lu Heng was initially puzzled as to why the Grand Steward and the Second Steward held such a transcendent position within the Lu Clan.

It should be noted that there are quite a few quasi-True Person cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Secret Realm in the main family.

Now it seems there are some answers in mind.

It's very simple and straightforward: to have enough influence, you need a strong background.

The two deacons were no exception.

Even if that Refining God True Person cannot directly interfere with the Lu Clan, his mere existence is enough for the Lu Clan, who want to befriend him, to grant the Second Deacon a transcendent status.

In comparison, Lu Heng felt that the Refining God True Person behind the Grand Steward might be the Refining God True Person Elder of the Lu Clan's main family.

Or perhaps he was simply appointed as the head of the branch family's chief steward by the head of the Lu family.

It's highly unlikely that such a coincidence could happen in the world. Apart from the Second Deacon, Lu Heng didn't believe that the First Deacon could also happen to have a True Immortal of Spirit Refinement as a sworn brother.

What may seem like a coincidence is often the result of meticulous planning.

"Is that possible?" Lu Heng asked, not placing too much hope on it.

"I'm not entirely sure about that either."

Grandpa Liu and my grandfather still correspond with each other.

But because of your matter, he can't possibly come to Qinghe City in person.

I'm afraid the only way my grandfather could communicate with him was through a communication device.

Will it ultimately be possible to get Lu Heng to join the sect that Grandpa Liu belongs to?

I'm not entirely sure either.

Lu Qingyan replied with some distress.

"Then let's give it a try."

"Thank you for your trouble." Lu Heng still held a sliver of hope, but he didn't have high expectations anymore.

the more you hope, the harder you fall.
